VIEWS OF BOTH SIDES
WESTERN LIFE INDEMNITY COM
PANY DISCUSSED.
Majority of Policy Holders in Washing
ton Discredit Charges Of Fraud
Against Officers.

Some of the local policy holders IN the
Western Life Indemnity Company, former
" the knight Templar and Mason Life In
demnity Company, are disposed to credit
the charges of fraud that have been
brought in Chicago against the officials OF
the company, but the majority of them, II
is believed, have entire confidence in the
management. There are number Of pol
icy holders in the company living In the
District most of whom are connected with
the Masonic fraternity, and those of them
who could be found this morning expressed
the greatest confidence In the officers Of the
company.
Mr. F. Warren Johnson, who is one of the
best known of the local Knights Templar,
declared this morning that the District pol
Icy holders were thoroughly convinced or
the honesty of the present president Of the
company. Mr.. johnson said he believed
the trouble arose out of the action OF some
disgruntled policy holders who had objected
to the change In the name of the company
and to the broadening of its policy in such
form that 1t permitted the taking out OF
old line Insurance. Mr.. Johnson said that
all assessment companies were realizing
now that they have reached point where
they must establish reserve funds with
old line insurance or increase the assess
ments.
The Western Life Indemnity. he added.
did Increase Its assessments. Dut II seeks
to put itself on a firmer basis than this
would allow by taking out old line policies
as well as those on the assessment plan.
When the matter of the change was first
presented Mr.. Johson said, there was some
disagreement among the local policy hold
ers and a meeting was called. AS result
of this meeting a committee of three was
appointed to investigate the company.
This committee consisted of Mr.. William
Oscar Roome, Mr.. F. Warren Johnson and
Mr. Granville NJ. Hunt. 1t made Its inves-
tigation and filed report. in which the
condition of the company's affairs was
shown to be highly satisfactory. Mr.. john
son said this morning that he was satisfied
to stick to the report.
