Error to the Court of Appeals of Mahoning county.
533. FIRE INSURANCE. No coverage on silks or silk articles, includes silk shirts.

Opinion:
JONES, J.
For the purpose of limiting liability, a policy of insurance contained a provision that its issuer should not he liable for any loss whatever on silks or articles made entirely or principally of that material. Held:
That such provision is plain and unambiguous and that a loss of silk shirts was not covered under the policy; nor was parol evidence admissible to contradict such provision or to prove that the parties so interpreted it as to give coverage for silk shirts.
Judgment reversed.
