THE REoRGANIZED NEW YORK
LIFE lNsU RANCE COMPANY.

The new Board OF Trustees OF the
New York Life Insurance Company.
chosen by the policyhold ers un der the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge OF
the company's affairs and has begun
the work OF reorg anization.
In choosing the princip pal Off GERS OF
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that a life In surance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new presiden is
Darwin p. Kingsley, a College bred
man of good New England stock. who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacitie for period Of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
of life Insurance. he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president Of the com
pany is Thomas a. Bucl<ner who has
served the company for more than a
quarter OF a century, has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment OF work VIM. L. Ingersoll.
who has for many years had charge
of the pany's great business In
Europe, is one Of the second vice pres
idents and will continue at the head
OF the conpanys office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years. ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice PRESIDENT and contin uous as chief
actuary OF the company.
The pole OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
their belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The uphea val in life in
sursnce within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal OF mfsunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which we're not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true In the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had $1,000, 100000 insurance on
its books when the life insurance in
vestigatioR began. and while the laws
of the State Of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$50 100000 a year (which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did. the company's outstanding bust
ness still exceeds S2,OOO.oo0OO0.
Policyholders generally will be still
further reassured by this action OF the
Board, as it places at the head of the
COM pany to protect their interests men
Of thorough training and unexception-
able character.
