SCORED BY STATE AGENT.


The above letter from Justice Mar
shall was referred by the home ONCE
of the insurance company to State
Manager Albright of Wisconsin. who
in turn wrote to his superior officers
as follows:
Milwaukee, Wis, Oct 6, 1902.
"E. P. Marshall. secretary of the

pany. Cincinnati. Ohio.
Dear Sir: am today in receipt Of
yours OF the Sd, inclosing letter from
a Judge of the Supreme Court of Wis
consin. Hon. r. D. Marshall, asking
that you grant him a rebate upon his
renewal premium. When Judge of
the Supreme Court of this State makes
an appeal for a rebate and does 1t di-
rect to the home Office. is it not time
that there be some elevation in the
moral conscience of the people in high
places before we can hope for much
change for the better among the rank
and file on the rebate question?
This gives you an idea of some of
and file on the rebate question?
Respectfully yours.

Albright also wrote to the Justice.
informing him that rcbating was for
hidden by law in Wisconsin. The final
answer of Justice Marshall was written
to Mr.. Albright as follows:
Madison, Wis. Oct. IA, 1902.
y. G. Albright
Dear Sir: Here is the draft for pay
ment on my policy. l am not unac-
quainted with the law which you refer
TO. On reflection you will probably
see that there is nothing in the law
to prevent your company from paying
to any bank any collection charges you
see fit. / don't take your letter very
seriously. It would not be out of place
for your company to establish an
agency outside of Milwaukee. Yours,

Manager J. C. Albright of the Union
Central Life Insurance Company OF

spondence showing that Chief Justice

ternoon vouched for the authenticity
Of the correspondence. The Justice,
however. said he thought there was
nothing irregular in any of the letters.
The original correspondence was
produced by Albright late today. The
