FOR NEW INSURANCE LAWS.
Ear Associations Committee Com
DleteS Its Iabors

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-THE insur-
ance law committee of the American Bar
Association which has been in session
here devisng a system of uniform laws
for the government of insurance business
in this country, has adopted series Of
recommendations which will be presented
to the association as embodying lis ideas
of what such laws should contain.
Following is a list of the recommends
tons, the elaboration of which will con-
stitute the report:
"First-The appointment of state insur-
ance commissioners for fitness and expert
qualification for the position, rather than
a a reward for political services.
"Second-That all companies created out
side of the United States make deposits
in at least one state. The chief motive
for this recommendation was the action
of certain German companies after the
San Francisco fire, which repudiated their
policies.
"Third-The repeal of the retaliatory tax
laws.
"Fourth-The repeal of the valued policy
laws.
"Fifth-The creation in each state OF the
office of fire marshal. This exists at pres
ent in only about one-third of the states.
''Sixth-The enactment of federal stat
ute prohibiting the use of the mails by
wildcat insurance companies and by any
company not authorized by the law of
the state of its origin.
"Seventh-The appointment and contin-
gent distribution of deferred dividend sur
plus on policies now in force. as prece-
dent to the right to do business outside OF
the state in which the company is created"
The American Bar Association will meet
in Portland Me, next August to discuss
the suggestions.

NEW YORK April 27.-Out of the musty
record. of the federal courts yesterday there
came to light through the filing of an I'M
satisfied Judgment for 81 600 legal ro-

unaccountabe error of lawyers clerk

million and over may be restored to It's Tor
mer owners, with over million or interest,"

Sage Raphael, a godson of the late fnan-

mother and sisters are interested with him
in the litigation.
United States Marshal Henkel returned
Yesterday as unsatisfed a judgment for
81. ESQ, 76s IS against the Wasatch and Jordan
Valley Railroad Company. The latter was
a road constructed in southern Utah in the
early eighties, and is now part of the Rio
Grande system, and owned jointly by the
latter, the Missouri Pacific and the Oregon
Short Line.
When the road was built it issued 81 ,OOO,-
GOO in debentures. Later a second issue of
bonds was authorized, and about $500, 600 of
them were disposed of at par. Among the
buyers of the latter was Nathan Raphael, a
close friend of Russell Sage, who bought
$3.50 600 of the securities. The interest
the bonds was defaulted and later Mr..
Raphael found that he had been shut out of
his rights through the foreclosure of the
first mortgage bonds. He then instituted
legal proceedings which lasted for years,
and which he carried to the Supreme Court
of the United States, only to meet with de-
feat after defeat. Having exhausted his
last dollar in the fight, Mr.. Raphaels death
quickly followed. Worry, his friends de-
clared was the cause. His attorney, Judge
Easton, who had likewise staked almost
everything in the ultimate outcome of the
litigation, dropped dead suddenly in his Of

For years the matter was forgotten, and
then Russell Sage Raphael, of the

Lawyer Martin asserts, to immediate pos

this contention be sustained by the courts

sue the present possessors of the property
for the profits derived from the operation
of the road since the foreclosure. This sum
Is estimated at close to $50 900 600, although

about possession.
