AGAINST FIVE-YEAR DIVIDENDS
Insurance Department S Report on Ma
tionai Protective Legion.

Albany. Oct 2-There was filed in the
State Insurance Department here to-day,
report following an examination Of the Ma
tional Protective Legion, OF Waverly, N Y.
This is one Of the larger fraternal bene-
fciary societies operating in the state II
began business in 1891 and, by making a
specially of the so-caled tive-year dividend
or endowment certificate. had outstanding,
in 1907, 236. $50 certificates of ali classes,
representing probably about 100000 men,
bers. In the words of the report, the five
year dividend contract appealed TO the
gambling instinct and promised the impos
sible."
The examina ton is made as Of June 80.
1910. and the report thereon IS voluminous.
The financial statement shows that while,
under the insurance law, a society of this
class is not entitled TO maintain a reserve,
the National Protective Legion with sub
stantialIy S1.700,0 GOO on hand TO meet ma
turing obligations Is technically solvent,
granting that the S3, 600 five-year dividend
contracts now outstanding are met by dlVi-
dendS no larger than are being paid IN 1910.
The criticisms Of the examiners are di-
rected almost exclusively to the f1ve-year
dividend business of this society. Its other
business. which in the last two or three
years has been featured, is thought by the
department TO be legitimate and TO promise
fair benefits 70 certificate holders. The
society has agreed to discontinue this class
of business.

w T. Stewart. who. with her daughter
terne. was evicted from the house at No.
zos south Mountain avenue last week. has
hled a bill in the Court of Chancery at

ceedlngs under which she was elected be
set aside She also asks that her husband
and his daughter, Mrs W. 3. Leeds. a
wealthy widow. with their agents. be en-
Joined from disposing OF the premises or
any OF the effects, and that she again be
placed in possession Of her home. which is
said to have cost 100000.
Mrs Stewart charges that the proceed
ings under which she was forcibIy elected
from her home were collusive and fraudu-
lent, and that her husband was the real
instisator OF the suit, though if it was

erty in and about both the house and the

lusive and fraudulent as against Mrs.

pose of committing a fraud upon her.

the attorney for Mr. Stewart. is also men
toned in the allegations, in which fraud is

forts Of the lawyers to reinstate them in
