FIRST HUSBANDS INSURANCE.
Mrs. McManus Wants It, Although
Married AGAIN.

Mrs. Margie Tate-McManus and her hus-
pand nave filed suit In equity In the Su-
preme Court of the District against Mrs.
Emma A. Knight, Arthur Z. Knight and
the commonwealth Provident Association
of Philadelphia. to compel Mrs. Knight to
surrender to Mrs. McManus a policy OF In
surance for 81 900, issued by the association
IN 1901 to Theodore Tate for the benefit of
his then wife, Mrs. Margie Tate. and to re-
Quire the association to pay the beneficiary
the sum mentioned.
Mrs. MeManus. who was then Mrs. Tate
states that Mr.. Tate, then her husband, in
the summer of last year. took out a policy
OF insurance for 81 900 on his life for her
benefit. This policy, she says, was issued
to him by the defendant association through
MRS. Knight as its local agent She claims
that all dues and premiums were promptly
paid in full, and that the policy was in full
force when Mr.. Tate died some months ago
She also alleges that she has sent the asso-
citation proper proofs of Mr. Tate's death
and has made demand for the money, but
without success.
A rather unusual feature of the case is
the assertion by Mrs. McManus that Mrs.
Knight had possession of the policy when
Mr.. Tate died, and has had 1t ever since
his death, and refuses to surrender it to the
former unless she pays the latter one-third
OF the amount due under the policy. Mrs.
McManus claims that Mrs. Knight retains
the policy for the purpose of wrongfully
coercing her into paying the one-third of
the proceeds which the former has de-
manded.
The bill alleges that Arthur E. knight is
Mrs. Knights son, and has been assisting
her in the matter. Mrs. McManus further
states that the association agreed to pay
her the loss within ninety days after Mr..
Tate's death and the receipt by 1t of the
proofs thereof; but that, although the time
has expired without any objection to the
proofs by the association, 1t has neglected
and failed to either pay the loss or to as
sign any specific reason for not paying It,
The court is asked to appoint a custodian
or receiver to take possession of the policy
and hold it pending the suit and to require
Mrs. Knight to deliver 1t forthwith to such
officer: and Mrs McManus also prays that
final decree may be passed directing the
delivery of the policy to her. and awarding
her recovery against the association for
the full sum due her under it.
The bill was presented to Judge Anderson.
who passed N order requiring Mrs. Knight
to show cause on September why re-
ceiver or custodian shall not be appointed
and the policy surrendered as asked by the
complainants.

INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
Effort to Discover Spanish War Vet
eran Who Disobeyed Regulations.

Corps Commander Fred s. Hodgson of
the Spanish War Veterans has ordered an
investigation to discover who is response
BILE for the sale to a secondhand dealer in
this city of number of badges and but
tons Of the organization. A former corps
officer while passing along D street yes
terday discovered a new Spanish War Vet
eran badge displayed for sale in the win
dow Of a secondhand shop. The officer
! asked the dealer what he charged for the
emblem and was informed that the price
was 81. The dealer also stated he was
aware that only members of the veteran
organization could secure the badges from
the proper officials. For that reason, he
added, he would pay from 15 cents to 81
for all the badges he could get.
The sale of Spanish War Veteran badges
or buttons is regarded by the members of
that organization as a most serious offense.
AT the last general assembly at Buffalo 4
law was enacted providing that those en-
blems should always remain the property
of the commands which issued them; that
when a recruit was mustered in he should
be required to sign receipt agreeing TO
return them to the proper officer whenever
he ceased to be member of the command.
Therefore, according to this law, no mem
Der has an individual right to either badge
or button and cannot dispose of them by
sale or otherwise.
In order to became a member of The Span
ish War Veterans the applicant must pre-
sent an honorable discharge from the army,
navy or marine corps. The restrictions
are therefore TO prevent the embems from
being worn or used by men who were .1is-
honorably discharged or those who did not
serve in the army or navy during the war
with Spain. The metal portions of the
badge are made from captured Spanish
cannon furnished the national organization
by the War Department.
1t is said the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie has experienced similar difficulties with
its badges and buttons, some of which fell
into the hands of unworthy soldiers and
non-veterans and were used for their selfish
purposes.
