MUST HARRY TO WIN OUT
INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS TILT
WITH ENDOWMENT SOCIETY.

Insurance Commissioner Dearth and
the United Endowment Society of Amer
lea are having an inning and the odds are
in favor of the state officer. Mr.. Dearth
claims that the society is an insurance
concern and is therefore, subject to his
authority ard the officers Of the society
contend that it is not an insurance COM
pany and cannot properly come under the
jurisdiction Of the state fnsuIa nce depart,
ment.
The Endowment society is marriage
endowment concern with principal head
quarters at Newark, n. j., and Mime
sofa office at Minneapolis, under the man
agement of Frank II. Page.
This society has two classes of policies;
one under which the holder is entitled to
an endowment if he. marries within thirty
months after taking. out the policy, and
another making the time five years
From a cursory view of the situation it
might be said that the society is one
operated in the interest of matrimony
but as this view has not been brought
into the discussion, Mr.. Dearth has not
yet been charged With opposing candt-
dates for the marriage altar.
The first class of policies range in
amount from $1,000 TO $4,000, and from
81 600 to $4,000. Mr. Dearth claims THAI
as the policies are issued upon con-
tingency, the society is an insurance con-
crln and therefore subject in the same
manner as any ether insurance company
to the department Of insurance.
