Accident Insurance
 Swindle Plot Barred

New York. = Accident insurance frauds which may total $1,000, 600, and which were worked by a regularly or anized band, were revealed by three indictments filed here Friday Three men were named in the indictments Ben jamin Iskovitz, Benjamin Green yald and Max Elstein.
 The band is alleged to have been ndlcting accident insurance companies through take accidents for the past five years.
 Accordidg to John Coyle, chief de- tective for the Ocean Accident X Guar antee Corporation, the complainant in the case, the gang has maintained 8 regular staff of erippIes, physicians, Ar6kers and lawyers. It's operations extended all over the United States, put particularly in the Eastern states.
 lskowitz was used at least seven times as the .1vietim' in accidents, Seven policies bearing his name are in she hands of Assistant District Attor- aey Jerome Simmons. There was 8 arge lump on his left leg which was utilized and capitalized.
 Iskowitz claimed to have been run down by ,aetomebiselast August and put in claim upon hls policy with the Ocean Accident & Guarantee Company. His insurance fell under the eyes. Of a clerk who thought he recalled a sim liar claim on a similar accident few months previously. An investigation was. made and the clerks suspicious confirmed.
 The matter was turned over to the clearing house maintained by the Ac- cident & Casualty CompanY's repre- sentatives here. The result was that seven payments to an accident victim answering Lskowitz's description were found
 The companies laid the matter be lore the district attorney, meanwhile extending their investigations through out the country. The result of the in quiry has been, according to Detective Goyle, to uncover one of the biggest swindling schemes of it's kind ever brought to light in this country. A large percentage of the "accidents" were ascribed to automobiles. Rail road accidents also figured very con- spicuously In the summary. MT. Coyle said that investigators for the com panies had found that some of the cripples maintained by the .band had been crippled from birth, The lawyers whose names have become involved were usnally used to collect on disputed policies.

L The cast of characters. II we
may SO speak, In todays Bible
talk include Elisha the Proph-
ct; Naaman. the captain of the
hosts Of the king of Syria; a
little IsraeIitish maiden, brought
captive from ,Samaria, and a
group described as Eaaman,s
servants. All play important
parts In the narrative.
Elisha needs no special de-
scription here. Naaman does.
We are told that he was a greet
man with his master. that he
was honorable because by him
Jehovah had given victory unto
Syria, and that he was a mighty
man of yalor-Quite a string OF
titles. each one Indicating dis
tinction and, taken together
very impressive.
At the conclusion of the de-
scription of Naaman we find
four words connected with his
titles by, the word "but"-"but
he was leper." These words
cast a shadow over his life. No
matter how high he stood in
military affairs, no matter how
close he stood to the king, no
matter what honors he had
won. no matter how great his
valor, his disease outweighed
them all because 1t was incur
able.
Little Captive Maiden.
Enters now the little maiden.
she waited on Naaman's wife.
The SSrians had gone out in
bands as was customary in that
day. and had carried her of
captive. She was a servant in
the house, and her masters af-
Fiction touched her heart. One
mistress that there was
prophet in Samaria who could
heal the leprosy Of Naaman.
If the suggestion had been
made about other matters II
might have received little at
tention, but anything is worth
trying when all else has failed.
30 the word was Immediately
taken 20 the captain of the
kings host. and Naaman seems
to have acted at once. He
called for his horses and his
chariots and hurried to the
house Of Elisha.
The little girl. having played
her part. disappears from the
story. Naaman offers himself to
Elisha as a patient, and. behold,
he prophet. instead OF hurrying
high official coming in state,
sends a message to him, say
ing:
Go and wash in the Jordan
seven times, and thy flesh shall
come again to thee, and thou
shalt be clean"
Naaman was wroth. He
turned away in indignation and
complained of the manner in
which he had been treated.
He had pictured to himself
the prophet coming out to meet
him-possibly wearing the man
tie he had received from Elijah.
He expected Elisha to call on
Jehovah and wave his hand
over the leprosw But Naaman
did not even get sight of the
prophet.
Advice Of Naamnn's Servants.
To add insult I'd injury. he
was sent to a river which, to
Naaman. seemed far inferior TO
the rivers OF Damascus. And.
judging by appearance, Naaman

upon the stage. His servants

and said. My father. IL the
prophet had bid thee do some

servants for thinking of such a

case of the suggestion Of the

maiden, he followed the advice.
