12 ¥ HALEY FISKE DIES | INCARNEAR HOME i Insurance Company Presi-‘, tlent Pioneered Health Pro- | gram Among Policyholders. | | it ERSEp—— | 'm YORK, March 4.—Haley Flskc.i president of the Metropolitan Life In- surance Co., died suddenly in his auto: niobile in front of his home shortly be- | fore 1 o'clock yesterday. years old. i Pioneered Health Program. Mr. Piske was a ploneer in the de- velopment of a health program among holders of industrial insurance policles. ‘ saw life insurance as “the solvent “most of the economic ills of society.” y was responsible for instituting a ting nurse service among industrial lers of the Metropolitan Life Insur- | ance Co. To this service he attributed a computed average extension of life amomg them of 8.83 years from 1911 to 1925. < Coincident with his stressing of the importance of -health among industrial policy holders was his belief that the| company should be owned by those who paid the premiums. Mutualization brought this about in 1915, Previously, Aowever, Haley Fiske had made it pos- sible for policy holders to share in profits of the company. The stockhold- ers were limited by law to 7 per cent dividends. There was therefore a large surplus undistributed. Reasoning there was no law against bonuses, he caused $49,000,000 to be distributed as such among policy holders in 19 years. Haley Fiske's service to the Metro- litan was two-fold, executive and Enl. From 1873 to 1891, he was associated with the law firm of Arnoux, Rich & Woodford, counselors for the | Metropolitan. He became a member of the firm in 1887 and was appointed vice president of the Metropolitan in 1891. He was trial lawyer for the company. 8o skillful and eloquent was he that he defeated the famous agnostic, Col. Robert Ingersoll, at the bar. In the case of Fuller vs. Metropolitan he saved the company from a demand for payment which would have wiped out its capital. Prided Self on Health. Haley Fiske was a man of extraordi- nary vigor. An admirer of “big, healthy fellows,” he prided himself at past 70 as being able to touch the ground with the palms of his hands without bending his knees. At that age he played an occa- sioanl set of tennis—as often as twice a week. Shortly before his seventh-fifth birthday he delivered a four-hour ad- dress to his managers, reviewing the en- tire work of the Metropolitan. He once said that there were three things that interested him most in life: his work, his family and his church. He was twice married. On January 10, | & 1878, he wedded Mary G. Mulford. She died in 1886. They had one child, Helen. On April 27, 1887, he married Marione Cowles Cushman, by whom he had five children, Archibald F. C., Marione Vir- ginla, Haley, jr.; Katherine Cushman |jaqt and Margaret Lois. Born March 18, 1852, at New Bruns- wick, N. J., the son of an ironmaster, Haley Piske was educated at a local pri- vate school and Rutgers College, from which he received a degree of A. B. in’ 1871, A. M. in 1874 and LL. D. in 1921, leaving college, he was a reporter for the New Brunswick Times and the Eliza- beth (N. J.) Journal, and correspondent for the New York Tribune. He studied law while doing this newspaper work. RADIO-PHONE TALK HELD WITH GERMANY Becretary Whiting Compliments Iabor Minister on Showing of Leipzig Trade Fair.
