By the Associated Press.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, March H.
Gerald S. Nollen, president of the
Bankers Life Co., Des Moines, yester-
day declared "there is no basis In
fact for the suit filed against it by
IL policyholders, who claim $4,000
600 has been wrongfully diverted.
They charged that the company has
on hand funds which should be used
to help pay death losses on assessment
certificates, and. therefore, the com.
pany does not have the right at this
time to increase the quarterly calls
assessed against the certificate holders
for death loss purposes.
In statement issued to the Asso.
ciated Press, Mr.. Nollen declared that
the present certificate holders during
the past years have received their in
surance at less than actual cost" that
the change in the company's plan OF
operation to the legal reserve basis In
October, 1911, was made in strict &C.
cordance with the laws of Iowa pro.
viding specifically for such changes"

Removal of Rare Trees From Edgewood,
Nd, Military Reservation Is Disapproved

off the general line of travel, appli-
cations were made by various mu-
inequalities and institutions for the
transportation of the most valuable
specimens in public parks nearer in
dustrial centers. Included in the APP
plications was one from the author
tiles of the Cathedral of SIS. Peter
and Paul, who desired to add one or
more of the trees brought from
Jerusalem to It's collection at st.
Adams Close near the junction of
Massachusetts and Wisconsin ave-
nueS.
The War Department authorities
have decided, however, that it is IN
expedient, at this time, to permit the
removal of any of the valuable trees
at the Edgewood reservation. They
are fiourishing and beautiful in their
present location and it was regarded
as extremely doubtful, especially on
account of their age and size that they
could be moved any distance and
transplanted without jeopardy to their
lives and natural beauty.
