INSURANCE INQUIRY ENDS SUDDENLY
Otto Kelsey Halted by Writ of Prohibition
Issued by Justice Goff

The insurance hearing which Otto Kelsey. State
Superntendent OF Insurance, was holding here
yesterday was brought to a sudden end by an
alternative writ of prohibition issued by Justice
Goff in the Supreme Court directing Mr. Kelsey
to desst and refrain from any proceedings in con-
nection with the charges which the hearing was
based Justice GoT also directed Mr.. Kelsey 10
show cause why the writ should not he made
absolute
The hearing had TO do with certain alleged viola
tions of the insurance laws amended by the
last Legislature Wilbur II. Person, an agent for
the New York Life Insurance Company had charged
l-emuel G. Burr, agent for the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company, with attempting
bv false statements 30 induce polcyholder or the
New York Life to cancel his policy and rensure
with the Northwestern Mutual. Such action is now
a rnisdemeanor and the State Superintendent OF
Insurance has the power 10 take away the license
of any agent found guilty of such practices
Mr. Burr however. decided to have the courts
mass at once on the points involved, instead OF
abiding bv the decision of Mr.. kelsey
Mr. Kelsey said that he was perfectly satisfied
"a have the courts pass the new law. The move,
he added was perhaps a little unusual, but was
NOT unnrecedented. The matter is now entirely
ont of the hands OF the department Aiter the
hearing Mr. Kelsey returned to Albany.
