James L. Blair of st. Louis Carried
Policies for S1.194.OOO.

ST Louis, Jan. 21.-The funeral of
James l.. Blair, former general counsel
or the worlds fair, was held here today.
None but close friends an relatives at
tended.
The death of Blair means the pay
ment to the beneficiaries of his life in
surance policies OF $1,13400O.
Inc largest contracts were negotiated
by the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, which sold him 100000 worth of
life insurance. the limit which any
agent of the New York Life is allowed
to write for one individual.
Ihe balance of the business accred-
lied to the New York Life was nego-
tiated through foreign companies, but
the New York Life is responsible for
payment in the event of possible failure
OF companies In which the risk Is re-
insured.
The Mutual Life, which places it's
limit at 100000. reinsured Mr.. Blair for
$l50,0O0 additional under the same con-
ditions as those prescribed by the New
York Life company.
Much of 1t Assigned.
1t is stated authoritatively that of the
$l,1340OO worth of insurance carried by
Blair, at least 100000 is assigned to
creditors. OF these the largest is Dick
BROS & Co., bankers of Philadelphia,
to whom Blair, it is said. was Indebted
40 an amount of more than 100000 1t
is said also that some of the money is
assigned to B. B. Graham, Blair's broth
er-ln-law, and James Campbell, the
broker to whom Blair partly relieved
his obligation by assigning to him the
country home "Airdrie" for a consid-
GRAFTON of $4,000.
Whether Mr.. Campbell has still
further claims against the estate could
not be ascertained this morning, as the
broker is in New York According to
the best informa ton Mrs. Blair will re-
ceiVe about 100000 of the insurance
money. Ii the assignments present no
more than 100000 there are still many
oellgatlons which the executors of the
these 1tsms relate to Blair's own bus
mess transactions.
1t is conservatively estimated, how
ever, that Mrs Blair will receive $780,
oo0 as her share of the life insurance.
provided all of the policies are paid.
One Suit Dropped.
The Mutual Life Insurance company
brought two suits in the federal court
soon after Blair attempted to commit
suicide, in which 1T sought to annul two
of the Blair policies, one sor $50 900.
the other for 100000. The proceedings
to annul the s50.aO0 policy We're dropped
while no action has been taken in the
remaining suit. 1t was reported that
the death of Blair would mean the dis
missal of the suit which has been pend
Ing and that the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company would endeavor to pre-
vent payment of the other by suit to
enjoin the beneticiaries from collecting
