Involves Important Point-Arose

Bismarck. N D.. March ga ques-
ton of much Importance in the insur-
ance world is involved in the case
of Joseph Donahue. administrator. VS.,
the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New
York. appealed by the latter from an
adverse decision in the Williams dis
trict court. which was argued in SUI
preme court yesterday.
The company issued a policy on the
life of Williams county woman, who
died few months later in giving birth
to q child. The company declined to
pay the amount of the policy on the
grounds that in making application
for the insurance the woman had not
stated she was soon to become a

an insurance policy become part OF
the contract for insurance. and fur
thermore whether questions as to the
health of the applicant should involve
expected motherhood.
