WOULD SUE THE EQUITABLE.
Question Raised Over Surrender Value
. of Life Policy.

NEW YORK, February 3.-Arguments
were hear dhere today by States Attorney
General Mayer on the question whether or
not the Equitable Life Insurance Society
may be sued for dividends on an assigned
policy Under the state insurance law
life insurance company may net be sued
except by permission of the attorney gen.
eral. The Lincoln National Bark having
obtained from John Graham $4,000 policy
begs such permission.
Former Judge Dittenhoeffer who argued
for the banks petition. described the policy
as one that was to run fifteen years with
annual premiums of S2156. Its surrender
value at the expiration of fifteen years, he
asserted should have been S33,900, but the
Equitable society fixed it at S2S,323 when
that time had elapsed, and paid only the
smaller amount. The bank today asked
permission to sue for the difference, but its
attorney stated that the bank did not
charge fraud. misconduct or m'Sbehavior or
cite anything developed in the recent In
surance legislation.
Counsel for the Equitable society declared
that the sum of S33 900 was merely esti-
mate, and that rates of interest on securi-
ties had shrunk In the fifteen years of the
duration of the policy. lie said the suit
would involve an examination OF the So
Ciety's books TO ascertain whether tho
work" that this would cost 100000. and
that money would have to come out of
the pockets OF the other policy holders"
Tho courts OF New York state, he asserted
have always held that such action cannot
be brought by policy holders.
Attorney General Mayer gave the parties
until February "a to submit final papers.
