V0IDS MUTUAL'S CONTRACTS
farls Court Grants Reimburse
ment to PolicYholders.

Idris Jan. 1.-THE Civil Tribunal OF tue
Helhe granted to-day the petition OF certain
poi'Shoiders in the Mutual Life INSURANCE
company asking for the voiding OF con
uHctS made since the law Of 1903, Whl'n
poih'eu out that French people could IN
sure with confidence in foreign companies
complying with that law. Under the en-
actment tho companies werc compelled 10
deposit the fun amount in France against
the insurance held by French policyholders'
and the companies were subjected to the
control of the government.
a year later, according TO the petition to-
day. tho Mutual Life Insurance Company
refused to submit to the terms Of the law.
50 that those who had taken ont policies
after the PRONUNCIATION Of the law petit
toned for notification of their contracts
and reimbursement to the amount Of the
premiums paid.
Charles A Peabody. president Of the
Mutual said last night that the company
had not been doing any business I'm France
since 1906.
4 .orge T. Dexter vice-president Of the
company. said the decision was, ia his
opinion. of purely local application, and
could not apply 10 all tho COmpdnyS poll
cies I'm force in France He said that this
was the first ne had heard @, the suit and
added:
After the passage OF the French law
few years ago, requiring foreign insurance
companies TO invest in France the pre-
miums received from French pOllcyholdeiS
the Mutual decided not to write any new
business there. At tn" time there was be
tween S}O0O0,000 and $iO.000oO0 Mutual Lite
insurance i'm force in France, and We con-
tinued IL I'm force. maintaining agencies 10
collect premiums and 10 pay death claims
but wrote no new business. We ala the
same thing about twelve years ago III
Germany
The only objection We had to investing
funds i'm those countries was that we could
get a better rate nf interest on our funds
elsewhere. We felt il was our duty 10 our
policyholders i'm general 10 put out the
money where il would bring the best re-
turn from conservative investments.
Regarding the suit referred to in the
cable message. | can say that If II were
an action affecting the business Of our com
pany through the whole of France. We most
certainly would have heard here or 1t nav
ing been started. but We had no such IN
formation. Since we have written no new
business i'm France and since the law con
cerninC Investments there was passed, II IL
hard to see how We could have broken that
Jaw in connection with keeping IN force the
insurance written before II was passed.
