Upon 1t.


Upon 1t.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Justice
Shlras today handed down the opinion
of the supreme court in the case of
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Trust
company VS.. Theodore Krumseig,
involving the Minnesota state laws
prohibiting usury. The trust company
had loaned Krumseig $4,000 and taken
from him ten notes of 1850 each, or
an aggregate of $4,000. 1t was part of
the agreement that Krumseig's heirs
were to be relieved of the responsible
ity of future payment in case of his
death before the entire amount was
settled, and 1t was therefore urged
that the contract involved life insur-
ance feature. The court, however,
overruled this view, and Cancelled the
contract as one merely for the pay
ment of money, on the ground that it
was usurious, thus sustaining and af-
firming the decision of the circuit court
of appeals for the Eighth circuit, and
also the circuit court for the district
of Minnesota.
