COMMITTEE AT WORK. Two Directors of the Endowment Associa- tion Present. — The Chairm: While the Reporters Were Exclad- m Tells What They Said ed From the Meeting. The afternoon meeting of the committee of policy holders of the Washington Bene- ficial Endowment Association yesterday was full of interesting incidents. The meeting was held at 5 o'clock in room 1 of the Central National Bank building, and was held at that hour for the purpose of having the directors of the company pres- ent to enlighten the committee as to the nature of their connection with the asso- ciation and its president. Ali the members of the committee were on hand, and Mr. Wolf again presided as chairman. Of the directors of the a@ssocia- tion, however, Mr. Edson and Mr. Somer- ville were the only ones who put tn an ap- pearance, and it was said that, with the exception of Mr. Wentzel, all ‘the others were out of town. Mr. Wentzel was cogui- zant of the statements his associates would make, and concurred in them. Statements i Secret. All the local newspapers had representa- tives on hand, but for some reason or other, best known to themselves, the com- mittee decided not to allow them to be present, although every word that might be sald and everything that could be done was of interest to several thousand other people, as well as the particular individ- uals composing that committee, Mr. Brown- ing escorted the reporters to a room across the hall, and told them that they might Stay there until after the meeting, whea they would be given as much information about what had happened as was proper to get into print. Some of the reporters staid, and some went away under protest. The Chairman's Story, At the conclusion of the conference the chairman made an oral report to the news- paper men, giving the following account of what had happened: “Gentlemen, I wish to say that the re- quest to have this meeting without your presence was not a matter of our seeking, nor was it made by the two gentlemen (Somerville i > nm), who are here, trom desire to control anything. They were sensitive about the matter, and, there} they thought they could talk more unre edly in the absence of ngwspaper m th of them were before us, and h given us a complete statement, according their knowledge, of the business for hn this commitice was created. We feel tied, from their = statements, that they any other members of the of directors Were consulied In any whatsoever in the transfer of th holders to this company, nor did th have knowledge of the transfer of the property, We learn from them that there was no meeting of the directors for the transfer of the policy holders or the prop- erty. hese two gentlemen—as to the others we don’t know—wer2 simply asked to sur- render their stock, for which they were to get so much as is all they know ited par value, and this bout it. They Nad unlim- coniidence in what was told them. thought that everything was boaa and they now express themselves as feeling as much chagrin and regret at this condition of things as we do. They have promised absolute co-opera- tion with us in all things necessary to bring about a clear understanding of the whole business.” In answer to a question, the chairman id that one of the two directors present 1 received the cash par value of his stock and that the other one had not. It was stated that the board was never called together to act with reference to the trans- fer of the business, and that everything bad been done by Mr. Gardner on his own responsibility. A Similar Happening in Ma The experience of the certificate holders in the Washington Beneficial Endowment Association appears to repeat in some de- tails that to which the policy holders of a company known as the Maine and New Brunswick Insurance Company were re- ntly subjected, the coincidence being more marked because in both cases the Commer- cial Alliance Life Insurance Company of New York appears as the concern to which an effort was made to transfer the policy or certificate holders. An account of the transaction, in which the Maine and New Brunswick Company figured, has been brought to the attention of policy holders here through copies of a New? York insur- ance journal, sent in the mails. This in- surance journal republishes from the Port- land Press of July 4 last the story of the organizetion of the Maine and New Bruns- wick Life Insurance Company, and of its reinsurance by the Commercial Alliance Life Insurance Company of New York, as follows: “The legislature of 1887 granted a charter of incorporation to the Maine and New Brunswick Insurance Company to conduct a life insurance business by assessments. Ameng the incorporators were many lead- ing men of the state, and, as a consequence, when the company began to do business, great success was had. The headquarters of the company were in Bangor, and the office work was placed in the hands of ex- perienced insurance men, and agents were employed at liberal terms canvassing for ratrons. A club plan of insurance was started, and became very popular with the members. For several years the company prospered. A little more than a year ago, however, with a membership of 4,000, in spite of the protest of hundreds of policy holders, the business was transferred under a peculiar arrangement to the Commercial Alliance, a New York company. This ar- rangement provided that any policy holder of the Maine and New Brunswick could be trans! to the Commercial Alliance without passing a medical examination, Out of the 4,000 members about 400 availed themselves of this arrangement. Hon. Her- | tert M. Heath of Augusta, acting for the ance commissioner, Hon, Joseph O. broughe a suit in equity to stop the and New Brunswick from doing busi- and it has just been decided by the law court. On the 13th of July, 1803, when the court decided the Maine and ew Brunswick Company died, there were valid claims amounting to about $45,000 due to widows and orphans of deceased members, and to the surviving members of the Various clubs established by the company. Their division of the remaining funds of the company will amount to between 5 and 6% per cent of the face value of their pol- icles.” An announcement is also made, on the autnority of the Portland Sunday Times, that the Commercial Alliance Life Insur- ance Company of New York has_ notified the insurance commissioner of Maine that the company would withdraw from that state, as its business there has been un- satisfactory to tne company, —_>_—_ Two Officers Retired.
