URANCE BOOST AFTER 2D EARS BY ~ JOKER IN POUGES Old Men in Security Mutual of Binghamton Trapped Under Lou Payn Law. FI LT Pe ETE TTT TS I TS ET RE FE ATOR ACT REPEALED IN 1899. Now Victims Find “Ordinary, ” Means Something Else and May Lose Millions. Numerous local holders of policies in the Security Mutual Life Insur- ance Company of Binghamton, N. Y., Who have paid premiums regularly for twenty-three years on what they believed were ordinary life policies, were notified under date of March’! 1 of this year that their policies were now classified as one year term re- newable and that unless they pay, on’ or before March 81, an amount ap- Proximating 40 per cent. more than a single annual premium the face yalue of their policies will be reduced about 66 per cent. ‘The announcement came as an as- tounding shock to hundreds of these policy holders who are now old men, ‘anable to obtain other insurance. ‘They are confronted with the prospect of paying enormously increased pre- miums for the rest of their lives or } of continuing to pay the old premi-, ums and seeing the face value of their policies automatically shrink until there is no value left. Plans are under way for the forma- tion of a policy holders’ protective | committee, involving the retention of "yNggpee, to take the matter into the urts. Many of the policy holders are no lofger able to earn income because of advanced age and are barely able to raise the premiums which, for nearly a quarter of a century, they have thought were carrying fixed | sums of life insurance, payable at death, They are unable to pay the vanced premiums demanded, and if te law, as interpreted by the State 1 surance Department, stands these oil men will have to commit suicide Wdore March 31 if they want to be, sure of leaving anything to their de-| pendents. | CAN TAKE $1,000,000 FROM AGED, POLICY HOLDERS. | The Evening World has made an) investigation of this matter and has. discovered that under the authoriza- tion of a law which was repealed more than twenty-one yeurs ago the Security Mutual Life Insurance Com-| pany of Binghamton, a rich and pow-| ertul organizationy is apparently in| position to wipe out $1,000,000 worti | of insurgace on which It has been * collecting: premiyme since 1898 and the company has waited for more) than twefty years to notify holders of a certain form of policy that the company claims the policy is not what it was, tepresented te them to be when it was written.

Back in 1897 it found itself in a bad way— practically on the rocks. Mutual as- sessment companies were generally in | trouble about that time.

The law wi 5 an continues to be considerable of a mystery, but subsequent developments proved that it was passed solely in the in- derest of the Security Mutual of Binghamton, * Under this law the Security Mu- tual reorganized—being the only company in the State to do so—and farted to do what now appears to, have been a business which was about ‘half assessment and half straight life insurance.

Matthew McCabe, clerk of the Mar- rage License Bureau in the Bronx, yesterday married Mrs. Anna Gefkin, \ forty-two, and Henry Cowley, fifty- | four, This was the third ceremony of the kind “Mat” has performed for the Gefkin and Cowley families with- in the year, and a busy afternoon can be spent figuring up what relation- ship Cowley bears to his own scons and how Mrs, Gefkin is related to her own Maughters. Here are the facts to jwork on: Mrs. Gefkin's daughters were Mae and Molly, and the family lived at No, 1542 Bryant Avenue, Bronx In the Cowley domicile there were be- sides the father, three sons, Fred, Sidnéy and John, and they resided at No. 306 West 4th Street. Three years go Mrs, Gefkin became a widow and wbhout two years ago Cowley’s wife died. Bidney Cowley and his brother John were suitors for Mae and Molly Gefkin. That was before the call to arms sent Sidney and this brother Fred overseas as members of the 69th. Pita Sidney did not came back. When Fred returned and was mustered out he spent considerable time telling Mae of Sidney's great courage and her a message from his heroic brother. While Fred was con- soling Mae, his brother John and Molly were married by Clerk McCabe im the same room where yesterday's ceremony was performed. Fred's visits of consolation became more numerous and the friendship of the couple ripened into love. In five months Fred and Mae stood in the same room and/before Clerk McCabe repeated solemnly the “I do” that joined them as man and wife. Mother Gefkin made her home with Molly, and “Daddy” Cowley made his home with Fred and Mae. Then just as it looked as if the West Fourth Street home were to be gladdened by an arrival, Mae died. ‘There was talk of breaking up the little home when Cupid again ‘became active betwixt the olan of Cowley and the Gefkins. Romance entered the lives of the der heads of the families and yes- terday they followed their sons and | daughters into McCabe's room to re- peat the words, "I do.” The couple after a honeymoon will make their home with Fred in West Fourth Street and all hands will solve the Problem of relationship by the just plain “Mom” and “Pop’ they knew as kids.. ————— WOMEN’S CLUBS AID DISABLED SOLDIERS Delegates TakeiCare of All Individ- ual Cases Réported for Im- mediate Relief.
