spiracy to violate the national prohibi-
ton law, suggested yesterday that the
practice of permitting bondsmen tc
sign bonds in advance of the signing by

The courts attention was called to
the fact that this condition sometimes
happens, when Milton S. Kronheim
who was surety of the bond of Samuel
Goldstein, one of the defendants, was
not prepared to swear that the sigma
ture on the bond was that of the de-
PENDANT, explaining that he might not
have been present when it was signed
You mean to say" queried the court,
that it is the practice in this iuris-
diction to sign bonds in that fashion,
When the witness had answered in
the affirmative, the court continued,
well, it ought to be changed"
The proceedings were enlivened when
United States Commissioner Needham
G. Turnage, after identifying the sigma
him, pointed to Herbert GlaSSman when
asked which of the defendants was

REPORT WILL URGE
INSURANCE CHANGE
illegal Reserve" Clause in
Code of District Favored
by House Group.

A favorable report to the House Dis
trict Committee on the bill to amend
the District code by requiring life in
surance companies operating in the Dis
trict of Columbia to maintain a illegal
reserve" for protection of policy hold
ers, was ordered today by the insurance
subcommittee, of which Representative
Reid, Republican, Of Illinois, is chair
man.
This measure passed the Senate last
June, and, according to testimony at a
brief hearing today, no objection has
been recorded to the proposed change.
Among those who testified were Thomas
M. Baldwin, jr, District superintendent
of insurance; Thomas F. Cameron, as
SiStant corporation counsel; Frank 3.
Bryan, jr.;' deputy superintendent of in
Surance, and D. l.. Lea, chairman of the
Insurance Committee of the Washington
Board of Trade. The latter told the
subcommittee that his organization had
not considered the bill and that he was
attending the hearing principally as an
observer, but that he was confident the
Board OF Trade would endorse the
measure.
other witnesses testified that practi-
cally all of the old-line companies have
been maintaining legal reserves" with
out such specific requirements by law.
as they have assumed that the District
law would require them.
Chairman Reid of the subcommittee
quoted from the Senate report on this
measure as follows:
1.-THE object of this bill is to require
life insurance companies in the District
to maintain legal reserve. The Dis
trict now has no law requiring such a
reserve, which is vitality important
element in the life insurance contract.
It is the insured's only assurance that
the contract will be satisfied by the
company.
discovery of this serious defect in
the District law was made by the cor
poration counsel in a recent case. The
District Commissioners urged the in
PRODUCTION of this bill and recommended
its adoption. The Senate Committee
knows of no opposition to the bill"
Chairman Reid also included in the
records of the subcommittee a letter
from District Commissioner Reichelder-
fer, which stated that in reviewing an
appeal from small life insurance COM
pany here the corporation counsel found
that there was no actual law for
legal reserve under the existing code of
some years ago.
