.Missouri's Superintendent of Insur
ance Makes This Demand.
PREYED ON HOMESEEKERS.
.notifies New York Life Officials'
That Certain Santa Most Be Re
turned or License Will Be
Revoked.
Jefferson City, Mo., Oct 9. State
Superintendent of Insurance Vandiver
. Saturday sent a communication to
President John A. McCall of tne New
York Life Insurance company demand
: ing that the $148,702.50 campaign fund
contribution be replaced in the treaS'
ury of the company under penalty of
revocation of the company's license to
transact business in Missouri for fail
ure to comply with the demand. In
the communication Superintendent
Vandiver also informs President Mc
Call that the Missouri department of
insurance will insist on a new presi
dent, vice president and financial com
mittee for the New York Life Insur
ance company just as soon as the di
rectors can possibly effect the reorgan-
ization. .
His communication to John A. Mc
Call in part follows:
Dear Sir: The recent startling dis
closures in regard to the management!
of the funds of the New York Life1
Insurance company, and particularly
the testimony of yourself and other
officers of the company given before
the investigating committee of the
New York legislature, make it my duty
as superintendent of insurance for the
state of Missouri to communicate to
your company the views and require
ments of this department, to the end
that policy holders in this state may
not be defrauded of any portion of the
dividends or surplus earnings that
are justly due them on the premiums
they have paid.
The public has been very properly
taught by yourself and other officials
of great insurance companies that the
' funds of a mutual company constitute
a fiduciary trust, held and adminis
tered for the sole use of those named
as beneficiaries, many of whom are
or will be widows and orphans, and
many thousands of people have taken
insurance in your company because
of this very fact and the assurance
that every dollar of its assets belongs
to the policy holders.
And, therefore, this department
must insist that all funds so used by
you or "by your order, and particularly
the sum of $148,702.50, which amount
you confess to having contributed out
of the funds of the company to the
-republican national campaign com
mittee for the years 1S9S, 1900 and 1904
must be replaced in the treasury of
said New York Life Insurance compa
ny within the next 30 days. Notice Is
