She Brought Suit Against Knights
of Pythias.

San Francisco. May 16.-United
States Judges Gilbert, Reese and Nor
row, sitting as circuit court of APP
peals, today handed down an opinion
which will be of interest to fraternal
and beneficiary societies and other or
CARNATIONS of which insurance is a
feature.
The case was that of Lillian H. Beck
VS.. the supreme lodge of Knights OF
Pythias of the World. The plaintiff is
the widow of Frank \. Beck. a member
of the endowment rank. who blew out
his brains with a shotgun. The cOro-
ner's jury returned a verdict of sui
eide while temporarily insane, and, in
accordance with tine bylaws of the
order regarding suicide, the widow was
rendered s13S. instead Of $4,000 the sum
for which Beck's life was insured. The
widow brought suit. got judgment for
s., 900. and the supreme lodge appealed.
The court of appeals, in affirming the
judgment OF the lower court, holds that
the defendant should have proved that
the deceased came to his death with
suicidal intent. and it did not devolve
upon the widow to prove by prepon-
derance of evidence that his death re-
suited from the accidental discharge of
his gun. The widow will receive the
SO 600.

LOAN COMPANY SUIT.
Borrower Seeks to Recover Excess of
Premiums.

The case of John P. Robinson VS.. the
Pacific States Savings, Loan & Building
association was tried before Judge
Hiles yesterday, and taken under ad-
visement by the court. The case is the
last of half dozen or so suits against
the company to recover back overpaid
premiums. Robinson borrowed $500 from
the company in 1892, and has paid in in
premiums and interest, 1884. The COM
pany demands 1924 in premiums and in
terest before discharging the indebted
ness. In the other similar cases judg
ment was granted in each for the diff
ference between the amount borrowd
with interest and the excess paid. All
the cases will be taken to the supreme
court.
The company has not been a sue
cessful one, owing to the hard times,
and as all those who have sued have
been shareholders, the company holds
that they should share its losses.
N. V. Jones represented the plaintiff,
and NJ. l.. Richie the defendant.
