The sehemes which Mr. Oleoy showed

Illegal act on the part of the company.
Companies Shava toes ee Closely. "
' Those companies,' continued Mr.
Otesy, "which offered to pay 71 cents
on-the dollar were evidently slnoere In
their offer, and the acceptance of such
a plan would have meant money to the
policy-holders. Not only would It have
meant money- but time. As It is, ths en
tire business Is still In an unsettled con
dition and companies paying dollar for
dollar are shaving the losses so closely
that the beneficiary Is not receiving as
much money as If he had nettled on the
7t-cent plan. - v.
"Another thing that la true, and to be
deplored, la that some of the large Vol
ler companies-pay large policy-holder
and make a great eplurge In the news
papers about it, but at the same time
they are refusing to pay the small
holder en the pretext that they have
not been able te adjust the losses. They
do this for the purpose of keeping off
the small holder until he is pressed for
money and will go to the company and
offer to compromise for ss little aa 10
per cent of his claim. Such methods
are to be deplored, but the companies
have elausee la their contracts which
allow them 0 days In which te pay.
"Another thing that Is causing the
polley-h'.ldera to lose more money than
anything else Is the fact that ths news
papers come out from time to time with
flaring headlines stating that a certain'
company will not pay Its losses. ' This
scares the policy-holders more then any

of other states.-and In an probability
the eourte of all the states except the
three mentioned will eontlnus te do so."
The decision of the Supreme court In
the Haddock ease wae that the New
tork eourte could not be compelled to
recognise a divorce granted in a Con
nectlcut court where service had been
made by publication. . The court reached
this opinion by a bare, majority, stand

service on the husband was had by the
publication of a notice In the newsoa

recognised not only la Ohio, but In every

"But If either the husband or wife

. A divorce cannot be obtained on any

Pennsylvania auowa a little more
ground for divorce, but ranks third In

Wilbur Larremore, wiiUng on this
subject, says la the July number of the
North Amerlcaa Review:
'It does not eeem likely that the
decision of the supreme court tn the
Haddock case will make any substantial
change tn legal policies. Its main pur
port is to sancUon ths continuation Of
their ewn policies by New Tork and
other eccentric states. '
"Those statee that have proceeded
under the federal constitution In recog
nising foreign divorcee . are now re
leased from that position, but it ssema
not Improbable that they will incline to
ward adhering to the former result
through comity, espea'Ally as the ma
jority opinion of the supreme court of
the United 8tates pointedly leaves the
way open on that ground." -
That the "Jnlted Statee supreme court
may reverse Its decision after - a
change of personnel ie thought probable
Mr. Lrremore. it tne decision le
reversed it would mean that the oourte
of all the states would be compelled to
