EQUITABLE UNDER FIRE
Policy Holder Brings Suit Against
the Big Insurance Company
WANTS SHARE OF THE SURPLUS

Colonel }. Wilcox Brown Through His
Attorneys Alleges illegal Retention
on the Part of the omoers Of the So.
ciety Of Funds RirhtsuMy Belonging
to the Policy Holders.
New York City.-A suit asking for
the appointment Of a receiver for the
100000 surplus of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society was begun in
the United States Circuit Court here
by Colonel ]. Wilcox Brown, Of Mary
land. on behalf Of himself and all other
policy holders who may be similarly
situated. The action is based on the
broad allegation that the complainant
and other policy holders have never
shared in the surplus to the extent to
which they were entitled by law and
by their contracts with the Equitable,
but that instead the surplus has been
accumulated and is in fact used for the
Interior purposes of the group of men
who control the organization.
Representing Colonel Brown are Dos
Passos Bros. and Battle & Marshall, OF
this city. and Joseph Def Junkin, of
Philadelphia, Pa George Gordon Bat
tie, of Battle & Marshall, explained the
purpose Of the suit as follows:
This is an ordinary policy holders
suit. The plaintiff, Colonel ]. Wilcox
Brown, citizen of Maryland. consult
ed us last autumn concerning his policy
in the Equitable Society. He had a
policy for $4,000, taken out in 1867,
changed as to terms in 1872. He had
elected to have his share in the surplus
Ct the society applied in reduction of
premiums. In the earlier stages Of his
connection with the society these re-
auctions had been very considerable,
but although the business of the soci-
ETY. enormously increased, there was no
material further reduction in the prem
iums. On application to the society he
had been told the usual story that all
of this was due to a lowering of profits
on investments caused by the fact that
rates Of interest in later days were
much lower than in 1867.
sWe We're obliged to advise Mr..
Brown when he first consulted us that
we saw no basis for suit. There was
no proof then in our possession that
the portion of the surplus properly APP
plicable to diminishing his premiums
was misappropriated by the society.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1905-05-02
IIlegal Ketention Allerad.

Recent events, however, have shown
clearly that the huge surplus accumu-
lated by the society is not legally re-
tanned from the policy holders, nor
lawfully used by it. The affairs Of the
society are in considerable confusion,
and the vast fund collected together
by the methods which the society has
employed is now claimed as the prop
erty of the society and it's stocl1hold-
ers. The old charter of the society pro-
viding that the company shall be mu-
tual company and that all of the profits
shall be- apportioned equitably among
the policy holders, except a dividend Of
seven per cent. to the stockholders, is
now attempted to be swept aside by
the present claims of the stockholders
of the society.
we have therefore advised Mr..
Brown, in the light of these facts, that
he and all other policy holders have
just and clear right to this fund. The
continued subtractions from their equi-
table shares in the surplus have been
Withdrawn from that share, not for
legitimate insurance business, but for
an Interior purpose. This purpose
plainly now appears to have been to
build up a great fund, beyond any pos
sible needs of the society. to which the
society and its stockholders could SUBJ
seQuently lay claim. The claim has
now been made. This claim has takee
the present case out OF all past 'prece-
dents in which the company has figured
as honestly accommodating its surplus
for the purpose of conducting a legiti-
mate insurance business.
"The present situation further diff
ferentiated from past suits by the fact
that there appears to have been a
further object of this accumulation in
the holding Of this great fund by the
stockholders and officers elected by
them as free assets for speculation
schemes in which they were personally
interested. 1t has been publicly
claimed by one of the officers of the
society that immemorial precedent has
established his right to have an interest
both as seller and buyer in securities
sold to the society. A challenge Of this
sort has never been proposed to several
hundred thousand people in the United
States without finding some one to take
it up. 1t is the intention of this suit,
among other things, brought on behalf
OF one, and all others wishing to Join
him, to test this immemorial precedent
and ascertain whether /. is in accord
with the presidents which govern
courts Of equity and Grand Juries."

EATING HIS TABLE.

Freddie despised the multiplication

1t was splendid way to learn tables!
Freddie forgot that they were tables.
He went to work with a will, and
when the teacher-that is. mother
said, schools outr' he had learned his
five tables. He didn't eat them till
after school.
He often shared his tables with the
next door twins. One day the next
door twins teacher was making their
mother call. Freddie was making
one on the next door twins. Don't
you go TO school, little boy?" the teach
er asked him. ~
"Oh, yes'm," politely.

DoRoTHYs BIRTHDAY GUESTS


Dorothy was to have birthday par

Dorothy called in her very best

two, with paper and pencil, devoted at
least an hour to deciding who should
be the ones favored with invitations.

No garment is more in demand for
warm mornings that the tasteful and
attractive breakfast jacket. Here is
one that would be charming made Of
various materials Lawn or dimity
with lace frills is always dainty and
attractive, dotted Swiss is much liked,
and is lovely when one of white is de-
sired, while for the many cooler morn
ings albatross, japanese silk or veil
ing would be appropriate. The big
collar is eminently becoming and gives
the broad shoulders that are so desira-
BILE this season, and the slightly open
neck means comfort and health in one,
also an opportunity to develop the
throat, which is so much to be de-
sired. The sleeves are in elbow length
and gathered into bands to which the
shaped friIIs are attached.
The Elton form is one of the best
liked Of the season. and is in every
way attractive, giving no sense of
