DENIES HIS POWER.
Attorney for Insurance Company
Claims Vandiver Can Not Act.
UNLESS INSOLVENCY is CHARGED
No Action by MissOuri's Commits
sioner IL Contemplated Until the
Thirty Days Allowed By Law
Has Expired.

st. Louie, Oct. Estate Superin'
tendent OF Insurance W. d. Vandivel
said Thursday:
ono action will be taken at this time
against the New York Life Insurance
company. When | served the original
notice upon the company l agreed to
give 1t 80 days in which to make reply
and nothing will be done until that
limit expires. u"
Mr.. Vandiver made the statement
following the conclusion OF a confer
ence here participated in by Gov. Folk,
superintendent of Insurance Vandivor
and Attorneys F. N. Judson and .. ..
Grove representing the New York Lks
Insurance company. Attorney Judsen
contended that there is no authority
under the laws Of Missouri by which
Mr. .Vandiver could proceed to revoke
the license of the insurance company as
he threatened to do unless the money
contributed for campaign purposes
was refunded into the treasury OF tins
company. Referring to Superintendent
Vandiyer's recent letter to the insur-
ance company, Attorney Judson said;
"Your letter assumes the solvency
of the company and its ability to per-
form Its contracts and the absence OF
these conditions are the only grounds
upon which you are empowered, to re-
woke a company's license. We submit,
apart from all other considerations
and even conceding for the moment
that you have the power under the sta
tutes to take such action, that II
should not be taken without giving the
parties interested a chance to be
heard"
1t is possible another conference
may be held In Jefferson City. MI
Vandiver said that his attention
was directed to the New York Life at
the present time, and he refused to
state whether similar orders would be
issued against other insurance com
panies guilty Of similar alleged Of
lenses. IT am going to kill one snake
at q time" he said.
The superintendent Of insurance
said that under the law 30 days were
required for notice to the company.
His letter to Mr.. Mccall Is under date
Of October 7, which, he says, would
make November the approximate
date when the revocation would be-
come operative. From that time, he
declared, the company would have 80
additional days in which to arrange
Its affairs for withdrawal, in case the
order is issued.
Gov. Folk and Mr.. vandiver held q
short conference on the matter after
the formers arrival from Jefferson
City, but the governor declined to
discuss the case.

OVERWHELMINGLY
is What Jsmes NJ. Beck Calls the
Present Insurance System.
MUST HAVE FEDERAL SUPERVISION.
Either By Judicial Decision or For
mall Amendment the Central Gov
eminent VIII Eventually
Assume That Right.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-"There Is SUI
pervision Of insurance more potent
than that Of state or federal laws
1t is the supervision Of public opin'
ion. OF all institutions the insur-
ance company most depends upon
public sentiment for its very exist
ence."
This was the opening sentence Of
an address Thursday by James NJ
Beck. of New York, to the Fire I'M
derwriters' Association Of the North
west. in session In this city.
mo one pretends," he went on
that the present insurance system
either in theory or practical admins
tration, is incapable of improvement.
1t was not perfect, it Is not perfect
and It will not be perfect as long as
the human mind Is progressive. The
people in their sober second thought
will perceive that many Of the con
coded evils of the insurance system
are due to conditions for which thu
insurance companies are not respon-
sible.
1.-THE new investigation will be of
incalculable Importance If 1t brings
the American people to full realiza-
ton of the system of federated an
archy under which, go far as insur-
ance Is concerned, we are living, and
to which the worst evils developed
by the insurance investigating COM
mittee arc primarily attributable.
LET those who complain Of the
large sums expended by insurance
companies to defeat oppressive legis-
lation remember that the insurance
companies rarely spend dollar to
secure favorable legislation They
ask no appropriation. they claim no
right Of way, Let our stern moralists
visit their greatest condemnation up
on the legislative highwaymen who
hold up these great business interests,
and above all, upon Indifferent peo'
pie who clothe these highwaymen
with the power to hold up their VIC
tins.
1.-THE insurance system is sick, but
too many doctors are crowding at the
bedside to give any prospect Of a full
recovery. For this intolerable con-
iItion there Is but one remedy and
that Is federal supervision. 1t would
have come long ago but for the doubt
cast by the courts upon the power OF
the federal government to supervise
interstate transactions in insurance
as a species Of interstate commerce,
Recent decisions of the supreme court
unuuestionalbly indicate tendency OF
that great tribunal to modify the mar
rover doctrine Of earlier years as to
the scope OF interstate commerce.
This much is sure: That what the
American people imperatively need
in the matter Of government, they ul-
timately get, and either by judicial
Interpretation or by formal amend
ment, the central government Will
one day assume the supervision Of this
most important and beneAcent form
Of Interstate intercourse"
