New Life Insurance
Record Set i'm 1919.
Phillips Reports
Unprecedented Demand Is
Attributed to Wide Pros
perity, the Influenza and
the Deprecated Dollar

ALBANY, March 3.--An unprcce-
dented demand for life insurance DUR
ing 1919 is shown in the report of
Jesse S. Phillips, State Superintendent
OF insurance, which will be submitted
to the Legislature tomorrow. This
demand Mr.. Phillips attributes largely
to the prosperity Of the wage earner,
the influenza epidemic, publicity due to
government insurance for service men
and the deprecated dollar
The report recommends considera-
tion Of whether companies should not
be allowed to accumulate larger con-
tlngency reserves. The excessive in
fuenza mortality and the depreciation
in security are pointed out as having
a direct bearing on this question. The
superintendent believes that competi-
ton among companies to show a low
net cost will prevent an undue accu-
mutation of surplus.
An amendment is proposed which
would permit companies to apportion
and declare annual divide, DIS after the
close of the year, by making such divi-
dends payable upon the anniversaries
OF the policies following each April 80.
tion to permit marine and fire insur-
ancc companies to indemnify farmers
for losses to crops and farm produce
caused by floods, droughts and other
climatic and weather conditions, as
well as for damage caused by insects
or disease.
Fraternal societies made substan-
tial increase in business last year as
compared with 1918, the report shows,
but the valuation of outstanding obi.
cations indicates that large per-
centage still are doing business upon
inadequate rates. Conditions in this
respect, however, show a slight i'm
provement over the previous year. Mr..
Phillips recommends, however, that the
Legislature should, through an amend
ment, prohibit fraternal societies from
accepting new members except upon
rate sufficient to meet obligations

declared conclusive testimonoy has been
introduced that Erzberger had mixed
business with his political acts.
The Attorney General startled large

that Erzberger's business ventures
formed part of the conduct of his no.
htical office was the basis of the suit.
Discussing the former minister's
transfer Of money from Germany to
Swiss banks, the Attorney General said
that while these transactions were above
suspicion, Erzberger would have done
better to have co0perated with the For

10000 Transport Men
In Britain May Strike
Walk-Ou Urged When Employ.
ers Refuse Highway Work
erss Demand for Raise

LONDON, March 3.-Great Britain is
threatened with nationwide strike of
highway transport workers, involving
from 10000 to 10000 men. The move
n1ent would affect seriously the distrbu-
ton of food. Headquarters Of the Ma
tional Federation of Transport Workers
has authorized local executives to hand
tn strike notices because of the employ
ers' refusal of the mems demands for an
increase in pay of 10 shillings a week.
A conference yesterday at the Min
istry of Labor in an effort to compose
the difficulty proved abortive, but it is
stfll hoped that at the last minute newly
inaugurated negotiations will enable a
settlement to be brought about. The
railways, the tramcar lines and the bus
services would not be affected,
