VANDIvER STILL GAME.
Missouri Superintendent of lnsurarno
Files Answer to Petition for the;n
Overthrow of His Order.

Jefferson City, MO, Dec. 2.-W. -
Vandiver, state superintendent of in
surance, through his counsel, today
filed in the U. S. Circuit Court here
his reply to the petition of the New
York Life Insurance Company in the
New York Life to overthrow his or
der revoling it's license to do busi-
ness in Missouri.
superintendent Vandiver charged at
the time he ordered the license re-
voked that the New York Life had
forfeited its right TO continue busi-
ness in Missouri. He cites the testi-
mony brought before the New York
legislative investigating committee
to the effect that President Mccall
and his associates had during four
years past spent large sums of mon
ey to secure desired state legislation
and in campaign fund contributions.
In the reply filed today Vandiver
accuses President Mccall of de-
bauching public morals, corrupting
legislation and looting the funds of
policy holders by extrava CANT ven
lures and reckless speculation. The
answer fills ten typewriter pages. 1t
contains direct and severe attacks on
President Mccall, Vice President G.
w. Perkins and oher~ officers of the
New York Life. 1t directs specific at
tention to the charge that Mccall
and Perkins have in bad and ques-
real estate investments lost
81 100000 of the company'S money.
He maintains that the Missouri in
surance department. has right to
require insurance companies doing
business in the state to manage their
affairs in the proper manner and to
insist on the election of new officers
and the adoption of methods that will
insure the funds of the policy holders
By agreement among the attorneys
the case was set for hearing Dec. 27.
