 INTERESTED IN
 COURT DECISION
Supreme Court Makes I'm portant Ruling in Case of
 Death Benefit.

Among the decisions handed down by the supreme court of this state at it's meeting last week was one of i'm terest to members of fraterual beneht societies. The opinion, written by Chief Justice Prentice, and received yesterday by Sidney N Lockwood, clerk of the court of common pleas. was rendered in the case of the Order of Scottish Clans vs. Herman Reich, administrator, and others. This so- eiety is @ well known fraterna1 body, extending over the entire country.
 When John Campbell, late of this Clans some years before his death, he named as his beneficiary, his mother, Margaret Campbell. His mother died before he did, and after her death he failed to name a new beneficiary for the benefit payable at his death, $500.
 On his death, administration was taken out on the estate of his deceased mother, who had been named as bene- ficiary in his benefit certificate, and Herman Reich was appointed admins trator of her estate. He, as such ad- n1inistrator, made demand on this society for the $500
 On October 5, 1914, John Camp bell died and he left surviving him a widow, Anna Campbell, and no chill dren. His widow, Anna Campbell took out administration on his estate and made demand on the society for the $500 benefit, claiming that she vas entitled to it either as such ad-

rninistratrix of his estate or as his widow.
 The matter was tried before the common pleas court of this county some months ago and the common pleas court held that under the laws the fund should be paid to Herman Reich, administrator of the estate of the mother of the deceased mem ber. An appeal was taken to the supreme court by the widow. claim ing that the common pleas court was wrong in giving the money to the mother of the deceas- money should be paid to her either as administratrix or widow of John Campbell.
 The supreme court, in it's opinion just handed down, reverses the com mon pleas court and holds that the contention of Anna Campbell, the widow of the deceased member of the society, is correct and that she is en- titled to the benefit as administratrix of his estate.
 Chief Justice Prentice holds that the beneficiary of a fraternal benefit in surance has no vested interest in the fund during the life time of the mem Der. Consequently, even though Mar garet Campbell, the mother of John Campbell, was named his beneh- ciary. she, having died before him, had vested or property interest in the insurance which could pass to her es- tate. The court therefore holds that under the language of the laws of the society and under the principles of equity, the fund should be paid to the widow. Anna Campbell, as administra- trix of the estate of John Campbell and directs the common pleas court to enter a judgment to that effect.

 Johnson is the man, was the shout, showing that the desire of the party was almost unanimous for their 1912 standard bearers-Co1. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, and Cover nor Hiram Johnson, of California.
 Governor Johnson declared after the recess that he and other leaders would communicate with Col. Roosevelt dur ing the recess and insist upon a de- finite statement immediately as to whether they would accept.
 The governor said that these dele gates should be advised before they adjourned the convention just what the Progressive party intends to do. s'I am very positive in my conviction that they should not be held in sus- pense in this critical time.''
