COURT DECIDES A FsATERSAL CASE
wife Cannot Collect Policy on Hus-
bands Life Because Under BY
Laws lie was Suspended
Before Death.

ST. LOUIS, March 1s.-In the United
States circuit court Of appeals an opinion
was handed down by Judge Thayer in the
case Of the Supreme Council Royal Ar
canum against Anna J. Taylor, which is
remanded with Instructions that the plain
tilt is not entitled to recover.
The decision will be of interest to fra
ternal organizations and members who are
insured against death in these organiza-
lions.
Anna ]. Taylor is the widow Of George F.
Taylor, a member of the Royal Arcanum,
Arapahoe lodge, Of Denver. He was in
sured for $4,000 in 1891, aud died in No
vember, 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 suspended ac-
cording to the bylaws.
The collector failed to pay Taylor's as
sessment for October. as he had been n
the habit Of doing when overdue and when
1t was rendered three days later, just be
fore Taylor's death, II was refused on the
ground that under the bylaws Taylor was
under suspension. Mrs. Taylor recovered
judgment against the supreme council,
which appealed.
Judge Thayer writing the opinion. says
the question at issue is to determine
whether the supreme council was cognizant
Of the practice OF the collector in accepting
the assessment Of Taylor after he was dc
linquent. and whether 1t ratified such prac.
tice by accepting the delinquent's assess
ment in violation of its bylaws.
He finds nothing in the evidence to war.

remanded, with instructions to the triaI
court to instruct the jury that the plaintiff
