SOLDIERS FAMILY
GETS WAR POLICY
Reverts to Relatives When
Beneficiary of Will
Dies.

War risk insurance. that is,
term or contract insurance, issued
by the government as wartime
measure. is payable to the benefi-
ciary designed by the insured. but,
should this beneficiary die the in
stallments of insurance becoming
payable after his death shall be dis
tributed as the estate of the in
sured. descending to the soldiers
heirs and not to the heirs of the
beneficiary no matter whether a
will may have been executed by
that beneficiary to the contrary.
This is the substance of the de-
cision handed down by Federal
Judge whitmer IN the case of Cas-
sarello VS. United states. recently
tried in the U. S. District Court at
Scranton, Pa.
Lawrence Siegle. while in service
in the army, applied for $4,000 in
surance designating as beneficiary
step brother Patsy Gillette" The
insured died October %. 1918. A
question as to the identity of the
beneficiary arose. Before it had
been established that the desiEnat-
ed beneficiary was a full brother
of the insured soldier. the benefi-
ciary died. He left a will naming
Savino Cassarello as executor, en-
powered to collect the war, risk
insurance installments which had
accrued, as we'll as those which
should become due and to transmit
these future installments 70 the
beneficiary's wife and daughter.
AS to the installments which had
accrued prior to the beneficiary's s
death and remaining unpaid at that
time, there was no dispute. They
passed according 10 the bene-
ficiary's will as they were already
due the beneficiary's estate.
The court decided and upheld an
opinion of the general counsel of
the ure7u of War Risk insurance,
that, a beneficiary under the War
Risk act is entitled to insurance
instailments only so long as he
lives and that thereafter the insur-
ance installments must be dis
tributed to those persons surviving
the soldier who would be entitled
to the estate under the laws of in
testacy of the soldiers state of resi-
dence.

PLOTTED STRIKE
West Virginia Coal Man
Accuses Northern
Operators.

Charges that the coal miners

voted to investigate, is the result of
a Conspiracy by the United Mine
Workers and the coal operators of
Illinois. Indiana. Ohio and Western

of the labor committee of the Will
hanson Coal Operators Association.
After welcoming the Senate inves-
tigation, ,Olmsted said evidence would
be submitted to the committee to
show that workmen have been mur-
dered and wounded by the Mipgo
strikers and added:
''WC will show by confession o.
strikers arrested that assaults were
planned at meetings of the locals
of the United Mine Workers and
conducted by men affiliated with
that organization. We will show
that the strike was not the spon-
taneous or even the planned act of
the 'Yorkmrn living and working in
this field. but came in the nature Of
a siege contrived and conducted by
State and national officers of the
Mine Workers; that its origin really
dates back more than twenty years
to a time when the United Mine
Workers entered into a conspiracy,
which has run ever since, with the
coal operators of Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, to
organize the West Virginia coal
fields, by any methods and at any
cost, or the purpose of driving
West Virginia coal from the West
ern markets-that conspiracy being
directed against the West Virginia
miners and operators alike. and. so
necessarily affecting the interests of
every citizen of the State"

Startles Police

Washington criminals, who usual

last night either by plying their

all. they know them best. but the
fact remains that no arrests were

YANKS ON RHINE
WANT TO REMAIN

American soldiers on the Rhine
don't want to come home. Many of

ii the policy of the War Department
not to refuse re-enlistment to men

of the absolute necessity of reduc-
ing the strength of the army to the
size decreed by Congress.
The American Army of Occupa-
tion now numbers about 10000
men. But Secretary Weeks ex-
planned Saturday that 1t was ex-
pected that the enlisted force on
the Rhine would be reduced to
