Big Insurance Contest
Before Supreme Court
INVOLVES FATE OF FRATERNAL
INSURANCE IN THIS STATE.
Grand fraternity Opposes New RuI-

porary Mandamus.
case OF the greatest importance
TO the fraternal insurance organiza-
tons OF the state was begun in the
Supreme court yesterday. when At
torney S. G. Smith. OF this city. Sc
cured a temporary writ OF mandamus
in the case of the Grand Fraternity VS..
John S. Darst. ex-officio insurance
commissioner of West Virginia. The
right OF fraternal insurance societies
TO transact business without an in
spection OF their certificates by a New
York expert is involved. and the de-
cision will mean a gain or loss of
many thousands of dollars TO the COM
panies doing business in West Vir-
ginia.
Prior TO this year the licenses have
been granted TO the fraternal com
panies by the state auditor on re
ceipt OF a statement as TO their sol
vency from the insurance commits
sioners OF their home states. Now.
however. an attempt is being made to
place them on the same footing as the
old line companies and compel them
TO have an official inspection made of
their certificates nv experts who
charge fancy prices for their work.
The defense claims that the frater-
nal companies cannot legally he
placed on the same footing as the old
line companies for a number OF very
salient reasons. The same company
has won n similar fight in the state
OF Ohio and suits involving the same
question are now pending in four
other states.

still sore because of the defeat of Il.

the only candidate offered by Graham

the turning down of Thum would, it
is held, split the democracy of
Graham county wide open On the
other hand if Hampton and lander are
turned down Greenlee and Maricopa
will be lost to the Hunt ticket.
