DESIGNATIONS DEMANDED


New York, FEB. 5.--'rhe examination
which the insurance commissioners of
i've outside states have been making
nto the affairs OF the New York Life
mas been completed and the report
lrawn.
IL is said that the report is drastic;
hat it demands the designations OF sew
raj persons stiIl connected with the
company, and that it threatens the New
York Life with expulsion from the
tates concerned in the examination un
,ess the demands are met.
The states represented in the examina-
ton were Tennessee, Minnesota, Nehras-
Sa, Wisconsin and Kentucky.
II was also learned that the document
which the outside commissioners have
adopted as their final reports differs
considerably from the one which was
originally drawn. which was regarded
By the Wisconsin and Nebraska com
nissioners as altogether too mild and
impressing their views on the other
three, with the result that the report
hits out without gloves at every vulner-
able officer and trustee.
The outside commissioners or their
representatives have been busy in the
New York Life since Oct Il They have
had as many al ~ men working on the
records and books Of the company. Their
examination, it is said Is one Of the
most thorough ever made in any insur-
ance company.
When the commissioners undertook TO
90 through the books of the New York
Life they announced that they intended
to make an examination also of the
Mutual and the Equitable.
