Insurance Policies Void i.

Throughout southern Wisconsin there
are people holding policies of fire insur-
ance on their homes and other property
believing they have made themselves
secure from loss by fire, whose insurance
is not worth the paper it is written on
This is the opinion of State Insurance
Commissioner Host.
The insurance was solicited: and writ
ten by G. w. Van Akin of Beloit. The
commissioner has revoked the license OF
Mr.. Van Akin for violating section 1945e
Wisconsin statute 1898 as amended by
chapter 227, laws of 1901, which provides
that any person who shall solicit or place
insurance in any unauthorized company
shall be liable to the insured, in case of
loss, to the same extent that the compa-
ny would have been liable.
Affidavits were filed with the commits
sioner showing that in November, 1902,
Van Akin solicited insurance for e. A.
Shaaklin & Co., of Chicago, in Milton
Junction; that on April 6, 1908, he soil
cited insurance in Beloit for A. G.. Hay
.ner of l89 LaSalle St.. Chicago, who rep
resented the Imperial Insurance Co., of
America; that during April, 1908, he
was instrumental in placing $500 insur-
ance in the the Imperial Insurance Co.
of America on tobacco plant at Slough
ton for Levi Kittilson, which was de-
stroyed by fire in September, 1908. The
assured was unable to collect anything.

dency, induced by brooding over the

cred to have been the cause of the terri
