SUPERINTENDENT MUST GIVE INSURANCE IL
CENsE TO GRAND LODGE OF THE ORDER
OF BIRTH ABRAHAM

The Grand Lodge OF the Order Of Birth Abra-
ham, OF the oldest Hebrew fraternal organiza-
tons il the country. has won a lons-drawn-out
fight in the courts OF this State against Louis F.
Payn. State Superintendent of Insurance. The case
has attracted wide attention in Hebrew circles on
account Of the apparent hardships 70 which the or
der Of Birth Abraham was subjected
According to the papers in the case. the United
States Grand Lodge of the Order Of Birth Abra-
ham organized in 1853. and it has over
twenty thousand members There are about eight
thousand members in New-York City. The order
was organized unincorporated association,
and so continued until March 1883 when it
incorporated Desiring to reincorporate under the
provisions Of the insurance law. IL presented
the proper papers to the Superintendent OF Insur-
ance in July. 1893. requesting him to obtain from
the Attorney General the certificate OF conformity
and approval required by law.
An Ofrshoot OF the Grand Lodge OF the Order OF
Birth Abraham. composed Of seceders from the
parent organization. incorporated in 1887 under
the Of the Independent Order Birth Abraham
Of the United States of America. This later body
was reincorporated on July > ICES. under the IN
surance act Of 1892. It a little later that the
parent organization sought incorporation under
the same law
When GoldfogIe. Cohn & Lind. counsel for the
Grand Lodge applied for license. Superintend-
ent Payn refused It on the ground Of the similar
ity between the names Of the old organization and
the Independent order. Afidavits showing that
there was such similarity of names would
justify Withholding the license we're secured from
presidents and grand masters Of Jewish fraternal
orders, from TWO former ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF the
State. Theodore Z. Hancock and Charles F. Tabor,
and from Deputy Acknowledgement John W Hogan
and many others Justice Chester. in Albany. after
hearing the application and reading the afhdavtts,
directed a mandamus TO Superintendent Payn. or
dering him TO permit the reinc0rporation Mr.. Payn
appealed.
The case came up at Saratoga Springs before the
Appellate Division Of the Third Department On
September q. without dissent, the i've Judges af-
hrrneU the order appealed from. Mr.. Payn appealed
TO the Court Of Appeals. which on January hand
ed down its decision that the order appealed from
