THE REoRaAN,zEp NEW YORK :
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board Of Trustees Of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge Of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work Of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers Of
the company. the Board has adhered
to the idea that life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life In.
surance men. The new president IL
Darwin P. Kingsley. college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been In the company's service In a
Variety of capacities 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. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter of century.-indeed 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. E. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
idents. and will continue at the head
of the company's 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 continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no I'M
certain terms. The upheaval in life in,
surance within the last two years has
resulted in great deal Of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany haG $4,000, 100000 insurance on
its books when the life insurance in.
vestigation began, and while the laws
of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$150,000.000 year (Which is abou.
one-half the New York Life formerly
did), the company's outstanding busi-
hess still exceeds $4,000, 100000.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
Board, as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
of thorough training and unexception.
able character.
