Gray says that everybody from Presi.

President Roosevelt says he has use

FRATERNAL INSURANCE WINS.

st. Louis, March 20.--In the United
States circuit court of appeals an opin.
ion was handed down by Judge Thayer
In the case of the Supreme Council
Royal Arcanum VS.. Anna T. Taylor,
which is remanded with instructions
that the plaintiff is not entitled to re-
cover. The decision will be of inter
est to fraternal organizations and
members insured against death in
these organizations.
Anna j. Taylor is the widow Of
George f. Taylor, a member of the
Royal Arcanum, Arappahoe lodge Of
Denver. He was insured for $4,000 In
1891, and died in November, 1900.
Payment of the insurance certificate
was contested on the ground that he
had not paid the monthly assessment
of October, 1900. due on the last day
of that month, and was therefore sus-
pended according to the bylaws.
The collector failed to pay Taylor's
assessment for October, as he had
been in the habit of doing when over.
due, and when II was rendered three
days later, just before Taylor's death,
II was refused on the ground that I'M
der the bylaws Taylor was under sus-
pension. Mrs. Taylor recovered judg.
ment against the supreme council.
which appealed.
Judge Thayer writing the opinion,
says the question at issue is to deter
mine whether the supreme council!
was cognizant Of the practice of the
collector in accepting the assessment
of Taylor after he was delinquent and
whether 1t ratified such practice by
accepting the delinquent's assessment
in violation of its bylaws. He finds
nothing in the evidence to warrant
this assumption, and orders the case
remanded, with Instructions to the
trial court to instruct the jury that the
plaintiff is not entitled to recover.
