ACTS AGAINST MUTUAL
Why Kentucky Insurance Commits
sioner ReUoked License.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. e-Attorneys Hazeirigs
Cheneault and Hazelrigg to-day. representing
the Mutual Life Insurance Company, OF New
York. and President Charles A. Peabody OF tnat
company secured from the Franklin County Cir
cult Court an Injunction directed against State
Insurance Commissioner Henry R. Prewitt, re-
straining the commissioners from revokins the
license of the company TO do business In the
Kentucky field. The commissioner said the
license was revoked last night.
In statement issued this afternoon In support
of his action revoking the license Of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, of New York, to do
business In Kentucky, Commissioner Prewttt
says the position OF the present management OF
that company in endeavoring TO elect the ad-
ministration candidates for trustees is "oppres-
sive dictatorial and unlawful and company
thus managed should not be permitted to further
insure the lives of the people of the state"
In part, the statement reads:
In my opinion. the agents Of the company are re.
they believe and have grounds for belief that the
nor for the best interests Of the poiicyhodsrs, it

taken taken notion that the agents owe persona! alle-

holders rights TO them BY those who are best IN
the position to know who the policyholders are

contrary to the spirit Of the charter Of the

the mutual feature.
After a full and careful consideration of the
charges made against the mana cement OF the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company OF New York have
reached the conclusion that the company should
not be permitted continue insure the lives Of
the citizens Of this state. Ihe present polcyhoders

granted the company would be an Endorsement OF

COURT SCORES TIFFANYS.
Says They Exhibited Foresight in
Getting Home Wttbout Moneq.

Justice Houghton, in the Appellate Division OF
the Supreme Court yesterday scored Burnett Y.
Tiffany and his wife, Lucille for their defence
for a $4,000 suit for household goods brought
against them by Edward s. Hosmer, trustee in
bankruptcy for the defendant The court re-
verses a judgment rendered by Justice Mccall
dismissng the complaint and grants a new
trial.
The action was brought to set aside a trans
fer of household furniture and furnishings made
by the bankrupt defendant. Burnett 7. Tiffany.
to Lucille A. Tiffany. his wife, the total value
Of tho goods being upward of $4,000.
The plaintiff represents the various creditors.
who are the dealers who supplied the goods on
credit The opinion. written by Justice Hough-
ton. says:
Although the defendant Burnett Y. Tiffany, at
the time Of the purchase. had and now has, no
property which can be reached for the payment
of the purchase price of these articles. the trans
fer is attempted to be justified the ground
that the bankrupt made an ante -nuptial verbal
riage to present his wife with a furnished home.
The defendants had agreed to marry. but no
date for the ceremony had been fixed; and it is
claimed that the date was fixed and the cere-
rnouy performed in pursuance of this promise
which the defendant Burnett Immediately after
the marriage began to fulfill by the purchase
credit Of the household furniture which his wife
now claims.
The testimony Of defendant Burnett hardly
meets the claim, for it is, in substance, that he
told the defendant Lucille If she would marry
him Immediately he would provide furnished
home for her. and that he gave the furniture TO
her as fast as it was purchased The defendant
Lucille testifies more strongly, and says that
she told Burnett that she tired of boarding
and would not marry him unless he would fur
nish and give 10 her a home in which she might
begin housekeeping, and that he agreed so to
do; and that she carried out her part by fixing
early date for the marriage ceremony.
Whatever else may be said. It must be con-
ceded that if this transaction can be sustained
as against the creditors OF the bankrupt the de-
PENDANTS exhibited remarkably provident fore
sight in obtaining luxuriously furnished house
without the expenditure OF any money Com
ment, however UPON the merits OF the action Is
unnecessary. because we are Of the opinion that
this Judgment must be reversed for error in the
