NOT UNDER THE LAW.
Court Decision Of Importance to Fra
re7nal Insurance Societies.

Jefferson City, Mo-. June 2.-The
Missouri supreme court in banc in an
opinion by Judge J. D. Fox holds that
fraternal insurance societies need not
pay policies on which the holders have
allowed premiums to lapse. Old line
companies and regular life insurance
concerns are liable because the state
law provides that the money earned
by paid in insurance can be applied to-
ward keeping the insurance alive.
The case decided was that of Mary
L. Westerman, who secured a judg-
ment in the st. Louis circuit court
against the supreme lodge knights of
Pythfas for S5.236.27 for insurance on
the life Of her husband. j. P. Wester-
man. The case was appealed to the
supreme court. More than q year ago
Judge Marshall filed an opinion in di-
vision No. / holding that this society
was on a par with regular life insur-
ance companies and that the policy had
earned enough to carry It beyond the
death OF the insured although he had
not paid premiums for some time and
the company had suspended him. The
decision Of the lower court was affirm
ed Judge Fox hled the opinion re-
versing the case outright. Judges
