LIBERTY LIFE CO.
ISSUES LETTER
Of CORRECTION

Attention of Editor Chicago Whip.
Gentlemen: | have been instructed
by the Board of Directors OF the Lib
erty Life Insurance Company to call
your attention to a misstatement OF
tact made IN the July 9, 1921, issue OF
the Chicago Defender page 4, first
column, concerning the Liberty Life
Insurance Company. and at the same
time respectfully to ask that the said
misstatement of fact be corrected in
this weeks issue, preferably on the
hrst page, and most certainly, at least
in as prominent a column as the one
in which the article now complained
OF appeared
The misstatement OF TACT starts
with the caption, Liberty Lie lnsur-
ance Company Gets 100000 Loan"
and the body of the article, among
other things, states The Liberty Lie
Insurance Company, located in the
Roosevelt State Bank Building, Grand
Boulevard and 3sth Street, has been
successful in obtaining a 100000 loan
through the Lincoln State Bank. the
bank appointing Mr. Charles B. Travis
and DR.. Merwyn Bib as the chief ap-
praisers before negotiating this loan
to the Liberty Life INSURANCE Com
pany
Now to point out specifically the
matters enormously stated: The Lib
erty Life Insurance Company did not.
as you represent, effect a loan OF one
hundred thousand dollars from the
Lincoln State Bank, nor did il nego-
tate loan for as much as one cent
IRON that bank, or any other bank
tor that matter. On the other hand.
the Liberty Life Insurance Company
purchased from the Lincoln State
Bank one hundred thousand dollars
worth of securities. mainly first mort
cages on property owned by Negroes
in the City OF Chicago, thus investing
its entire capital stock OF one hundred
thousand dollars, every dollar OF
which being raised by individual sub
scriptions for the said capital stock.

business OF life insurance. approved

Furthermore Mr.. Charles B. Travis
and DR.. Merwyn Bib were not ap-
pointed as appraisers to determine
anything at all as a condition prece-
dent to the negotiating of loan. but
rather they were appointed to serve
IN the capacity of appraisers, pursuant
to Section OF the Act above referred
to-, which is in these words: That
before any Life Insurance Company
goes into operation, under the laws OF
this State, a guarantee capital OF at
least one hundred thousand dollars
shall be paid in money and invested

| submit that these misstatements
OF fact, unless promptly and sufh-
GENTLY corrected. will result in an r-
reparable damage to the Liberty Life
Insurance Company, and | offer sew
cral reasons TO sustain my contention.
First, TO charge that the company
completed its organization by borrow
ing money IS to charge every director
OF the said company with making
fraudulent representations to the State
in order to secure license to do bust
ness, thus subjectng all parties con
cerned to a criminal liability. for the
law requires aud the company fulfilled
that requirement, that the entire cap
ital stock be paid in by the stock
holders and invested as aforemen-
toned Second. the report that the
company negotiated a loan for ono
hundred thousand dollars not only
subjects the Board OF Directors to as
many lawsuits as there are stock
holders IN the company by reason OF
their doing an Ultra Wires act, but
also lays them open to vicious and TN
kind attacks from the general public
and causes their motives in organic
ing the company to be impugned-
which developments would greatly I'M
pcde the progress OF the said company.
| am, yours very truly.
