A. G.. Vanderbilt Estate
Loses Suit for Insurance
Justice McAvoy Holds Death ON
Lusitania Was Not an Acct
dent. hut Acf Of War
(Ienf. but ACt of

Justice McAvoy decided against the
executors of the estate Of Alfred
Gwynnc Vanderbilt yesterday in their
action to collect from the Travellers
Insurance Company on policy issued
on his life. Mr.. Vanderbilt lost his
life on the Lusitania when the steam
ship was sunk in May, 1915, by Cor
man submarine.
In refusing to pay on the policy the
Travellers company contended that the
sinking of the Lusitania was an act of
war, one Of the causes claimed by the
company as an exception from liability.
Justice McAvoy sustained this contcn-
tion.
The policy issued to Mr.. Vanderbilt
read: "Nor shall this insurance cover
deaths resulting directly or indirectly,
wholly or in part, from war or riot"
"The conclusion must be reached,"
said Justice McAvoy. that the casualty
resulted from war, and that the consc
quenccs of the casualty comes within
the excepted portions of the policy"
