INSURED HAS RIGHTS
GUARD FOR POLICY HOLDER DE-
CLARED BY COURT.
Decision Is that He Can Rescfnd
Contract If Fraud Is shown
Train Runs Into Tornado In
Pennsylvania.

The Appellate division of the Supreme
Court, sitting at Saratoga, n. Y, has
handed down most important decision.
The effect of the decision is that where
an insurance company is guilty of fraud
on a policy holder at the inception of the
contract, the policy holder, on discovering
the fraud, can rescind the contract and
recover all the premiums paid, with inter-
est, and the defrauding company must
gtand the loss that ensues from its wrong
doing. The case at issue was that of
John Moore, a lawyer and editor of the
Elmira Telegram, against the Mutual Re
serve Life Insurance Company Of New
York. The case was tried in Elmira be-
fore Justice Lyon in May, 1900 Justice
Lyon found that the fraud alleged had
been committed by the false statements
made to Mr. Moore personally at the New
York Office. declared that the policy should
be rescinded, but charged the plaintiff
with the cost of the company for carry
ing the life insurance for fourteen years
and gave to plaintiff damages of only
S292 Mr.. Moore at once took an appeal,
asking that Justice Lyons decision be
modified by giving him judgment for 3d.
$50, the amount he had paid as premiums,
with interest, and as modified the judg-
ment be affirmed. The insurance company
also took an appeal, asking that the entire
decision by Justice Lyon be reversed. The
decision establishes a precedent in this
line of cases, and it is probable that it
will be carried to the Court Of Appeals.
However, in that event, the insurance
company will have to give a bond.

With winds in their favor and the

BANDITS LOOT TRAIN
RIFLE MAILS OF THE GREAT
NORTHERN'S LIMITED.
Ho1d-up at ReIford, Mont, Latest of
Repeated Attempts to Rob. Trains
in Alaska.

Two masked bandits early Thursday
held up and robbed the Great Northern's
Oriental Limited train six or seven miles
west of Rexford, Mont. They found the
regular through safe empty and stole a
quantity of registered mail. This is the
latest of repeated efforts to loot the Great
Northern trains of large sums, and recalls
the fact that about two years ago two
train robbers, after serving sentences in
prison, tried TO blackmail the company
out Of $4,000 by threats to blow up
trains Heavy charges of dynamite were
found under several bridges after the
threats were made. In the holdup Thurs
day morning the robbers crawled over the
tender and at the point of their guns
commanded the engineer to stop the train.
Then they ordered the engineer TO go
back with them to the express car, and
instructed him to tell the express messen-
ger, mail clerk and baggage man to go
back into the coaches. While this was
being done the robbers kept up a con-
tinual fusillade with their guns to terrify
the passengers and keep them within the
coaches. After the messenger, baggage
man and mail clerk had left their cars,
the IoooeIs went through the Hdll cars
and robbed the sacks of a large quantity
of registered mail. Then they went into
an express car which carried an overflow
of mail, baggage and express and which
contained a regular through safe. This
they attempted to blow open. After ex
ploding three charges, the safe was open
ed and it was found to be empty. The
robbers did not enter the regular express
car in which the messenger had been rid
ing. On finding the safe empty the high
waymen helped themselves to the regis
tered mail, and after firing a parting
volley, disappeared.

MARCH OF THE G.. A, r.
VETERANS PARADE THROUGH
SARATOGA NJ. Y.
Gov. Hughes and National officers
Lead Line Through Blaze of Ma
tionaI Colors and Then Review
Ranks-FIag Draped Grants Bier.

Martial music, the old wartime tunes
to which the soldiers of the Civil War
had marched in many campaigns,
awakened Saratoga at an early hour
Wednesday-the day of the parade of
the veterans who attended the national
encampment of the Grand army of the
Republic 1t was expected that $4,000
paraders would be in line and the
weather, which was unfaN lrable in the
early morning, gave promise of bright
ening before the hour scheduled for the
start.
Significant of the failing strength of
the veterans was the fact that the pa
rading distance was reduced to one
mile-the shortest ever fixed for the
national encampment. For the first
time the parade was limited to mem
bers of the Grand Army instead of be-
ing open TO all survivors of the war.
The national colors covered the
fronts of buildings. were festooned at
every convenient point, strung in rows
at short intervals across the streets and
completely covered the interior of the
great convention hall, where the ses-
sions of the encampment were held.
Flag Recalls Gen. Grant.
One Of the features of the parade was
the presence of big flag which covered
the body of Gen. Grant on its way from
Mount McGregor to'the tomb. In Gus
tody of the grenadier guard, command
ed by Col. F. NJ. Sterrett of st. Louis,
of which every man was over six feet
tall and each representing one of the
forty-five departments of the G. A. R.,
this old flag brought up the extreme
rear, escorted by the whole parade and
being carried at last along the whole
line of review
As planned, the national officers in
carriages with Gov. Charles e. Hughes
led the line, the chief of staff in COM
mand being J. Cary Winans of Toledo.
The department of New York State, al
though entitled by seniority to fifth
place, selected as hosts the left of the
line, which included a representation of
every department, including Alaska,
and of every branch of the service. The
parade was reviewed by Gov. Hughes
and the national officers of the G. 4. R.
The days program began with a re-
ception at Congress hall, the New York
State headquarters, in honor of Gov.
Hughes at IL 80 a. N. At u 80 lunch
con was served by the department of
New York to the Governor, Commander
in Chief Robert B. Brown and his staff,
past national officers, department COM
manders and the other distinguished
guests. Meanwhile there had been re-
unions of the various organizations.
The real business Of the convention
began Thursday with the annual adj
dress of Commander Brown, reports
Of officers and committees and election
of officers.
