to the Legislature when IT meets in
Harrisburg. Public indignation has been
aroused by the alleged murder Of the

State Department Of Insurance. have
taken up the matter.
1t is estimated that the companies
have several thousand victims. All Of
them are organized under the act of
1874. and Insurance Commissioner Dur

in the case is said to he all in hand.
and 1t is likely that the inquest will be
continued before Coroner Dugan to-
morrow.
When 1t was learned yesterday at the
inquest OF oliver f. Douglass that the
child had been insured In one of the so
called beneficial companies, Coroner Du-
gan stopped the inquest and inquired Of
Insurance Commissioner Durham con
corning the legality of baby insurance,
He was told hat the company was
within the law, but that IN effort would
soon be made to repeal the law.

ers and others to neglect their sick
Infants. They would rather keep up the
insurance money than use 1t to u
medicine. But the proportion of in
fantlcides Is small when you consider
the great number that are insured.
mo one knows except those in the
business the fraud that is practised
upon the public by some of these small
companies that collect insurance with
no intention Of paying a sick or death
benefit. They count on doing enough
business In six months or a'year to make
n little money and then dissolve. They
generally drop out of existence when
death claims begin to come.
Hard to Catch Guilty.
Under the present law 1t Is hard for
the authorities to get a hold on the
guilty men. Several weeks ago an or
ganizer went to New Jersey and for
$3.50 procured a charter for a beneficial
organization and started business in
this city. We threatened to expose him
and his company disappeared.
There is a company here composed
of Ave men who are to-day carrying on
a fraudulent insurance society under
the noses OF the authorities. Every Sat1
urdav night they meet and divide the
profits Of the week, money paid to
them by credulous persons for policies
never will mature"
