Insurance Exchange
Suit May Force D. {.
Subscribers 10 Pay
Involves Pennsylvania
Unit Found to Be
InsoIvent in 1888

Several hundred District residents
may be forced to make payments
to help liquidate an insolvent
Pennsylvania reciprocal insurance
exchange if suit filed in Municipal
Court today is successful.
Ralph P. Dunn, who filed the
suit as counsel for Matthew H.
Taggart. Pennsylvania insurance
commissioner and as such liqulda-
tor for the Keystone Indemnity
Exchange, estimated that many
thousand dollars" were involved To-
cally.
The first local defendant is
Charles Fischer. 1927 Pennsylvania
avenue Sc, who has s6993 at
stake.
The Pennsylvania insurance COM
missioner is attempting to collect a
total of $2843,23327 from all the
subscribers in the now insolvent eX-
change from April 9, 1929, to May
18, 1888.
Liable Under 1929 Law.
According to the pleading filed
here. the Pennsylvania Assembly
passed a law on April 9, 1929, max
ing subscribers in a reciprocal in
surance exchange liable for one
additional annual premium or de-
posit charged on each policy held
by them.
The Keystone Indemnity Ex-
change had been operating here
since 1924. BY means of the ex-
change, individuals. partnerships
and corporations exchanged recipro-
cal or inter insurance contracts with
each other, providing indemnity
among themselves from any loss
that could be insured against un-
der the insurance laws, excepting
life insurance.
In 1888 the Pennsylvania attor-
ney general took the exchange into
court, and on May Is, 1888, the
exchange admitted it was inSolvent,
and the court appointed the insur-
ance commissioner to liquidate the
assets and pay up outstanding
claims and other obligations.
The commissioner, however. the
pleading stated, discovered that the
exchange didn't have the assets, so
he applied to the court. on the basis
of the 1929 law passed by the Penn
sylvania Assembly. to make sub
scribers pay IAN amount equal to one
annual deposit premium on each
policy issued to them" between the
time the assembly passed the addi-
tional liability law and the time the
company was declared insolvent.
Fought Out in Courts.
The court issued the order in 1888
and the case was taken to the Su-
preme Court of Pennsylvania, which
afirmed the assessment order en-
tered by the lower court. Later,
subscribers filed a petition for re-
argument before the Supreme
Court and succeeded in having that
court reopen the case. On March

Hay Fever Time Arrives
As Ragweed Po|Iinafes
It's hay fever time in Washington

It's hay fever time in Washington
and points around the compass.
Donald E. McHenry. National
Capital Parks naturalist and a suf-
ferer from the sneeze disease. said
today that the ragWeed in which
Washington and vicinity abounds
has started pollinizing.
Mr. McHenry, who usually detects
the pollen as soon as any one. took
time out to go into the subject of
ragweed
You know" he said, "ragweed is
very useful plant as we'll as being
nuisance. 1t is one of natures
Notwithstanding plants. One of The
few plants which will grow on p-ac-
tically sterile, newly exposed earth,
it acts as a control over erosion.
Each year more new earth is ex-
posed, by excavations, road building
and other activities. and each year
there is mere ragweed there are
more hay fever victims.
Back in the days when Indians
only lived in the United States rag
weed was rare plant This is be-
cause it grows only in newly dis
turbed earth and dies as soon as the
soil becomes fertile enough to sup
port more desirable plants.
"Of course, when I say all this
I'm speaking professionally. I nate
the weed myself, erosion control or
no erosion control Why couldn't
the Creator have picked something
else to control erosion-Kachoo!"
