PERKINS POINT DECIDED.
Executors Can Not Be Enjoined From
Suing for Insurance.

St Louis, April 6.-The executors of
the will of Lucius H Perkins of Law
renee, Kan, will be allowed to go on
in a legal contest with the Mutual Life
insurance company of New York over
a policy of 100000 by the terms OF
decision rendered Monday in the
United States court of appeals Per
kins died in 1907 within a year after
he obtained policies on his life
amounting to about s650,000. The In
/ the policy cancelled on the ground
that it had been wrongfully obtained
and that Perkins contemplated suicide
when he got it.
The executors sued to collect the
policy. The opinion was written by
Judge Amidon, who says that the
lower court erred in restraining the
action instituted by the executors, that
the order of the court should be
vacated and that the suit Instituted by
the insurance company should be dis
missed.
Lucius H. Perkins fell from the roof
of his house the afternoon of June l.
1907. He was unconscious when
found and died without recognizing
anyone. What Mr.. Perkins was doing
on the roof was not positively known
His family asserted that he was there

no evidence of a crime.
The fact that Mr.. Perkins carried
insurance to the extent of more than
S650,O00, the policies for which hao
been taken out only a short time pre-
viously, caused comment. 1t was de-
veloped that the first premium on
these policies had not been paid IN
cash, notes having been given the
companies by Mr.. Perkins. These
notes were about to fall due.
Several of the policies held by MI.

THEY'RE GOOD JOBS NOW.
Clerks and Judges of Elections VIII
Draw More Pay.

While the last legislature went on
record as opposing all graft, increase
of expenses and new commissions, yet
the Independence Star has found in
an amendment to the election law
what it refers to as "a nice little
graft" The law, which went into eff
feet April 1, makes the place of clerk
and judge of an election a fat job.
There has usually not been a great
deal of trouble in securing clerks and
Judges of election, but the legislature
seems to have been 1aboring under a
contrary impression for it took con-
siderable pains to make fairly good
Job a very soft snap. The new law
provides that judges and clerks shall
be paid SO for the first two hundred
votes counted and one cent each for
each additional vote. This will make
the compensation for serving your
country on election day average from
81 to $40.
