The news of the death of Consul

The news of his death at Beyrut,

later was confirmed by a cablegram
from Vice Consul Kihouri to Mr. Wil

Continually since leaving Augusta

THE ROME TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1896.
MUST PAY ITS DEBTS
Mutual Acd(l>nt Association Pulley
Holders Up in Arms.
ORDERED TO PJ ASSESSMENTS
Tw nty-Sev n Hundred of Them 4 n Georgia
Rec ivs Notice to Pay
Asa 8 m ntg.
About twenty seven hundred Georgia
policy holders of the defunct United
States Mutual Association, of New' York,
are up in arms against an order of the
supreme court, of New York.
• By the issuance of that order the policy
holders of the concern are required to pay
the debts of the association, which is now
in the hands of a receiver. The accident
association failed several months ago and
it now appears that the policy holders
throughout the country must come for
ward and pay the liabilities of the de
funct concern.
A number of the Rome policy holders
received notice from the receiver of the
association that they must remit certain
amounts due on account of liabilities still
remaining unpaid, which were'incurred
by the association while the policy hold
ers were members of the association. The
receiver’s notice was authorized by the
supreme court of New York, and it seems
that the policy holders will be required
to settle under the law
It is asserted that policy holders
in mutual or assessment companies
are liable for the debts of the associa
tion and that if the concern fails the
creditors can demand the amount due
them from the policy holders. The
courts in many states have made that
ruling, but it is probable that the
Georgia holders of the policies of the
Mutual Accident association will fight
the case and refuse to pay the assess
ments. The policy holders are indign
ant and some of them (declare that
the effort to collect the assessments
many months after the failure of the
association will be fought to the last
resort. The ruling of the receiver
and New York courts is based on the
contention that the policies carry with
them liability on the pro rata plan,
the policies being of different amounts
and classes.
The Notice.
The notice sent out by the receiver
in New York follows:
“New York Supreme Court—The
people of the State of New York
versus the United States Mutual Ac
cident Association of the city of New
York.
“New York, September 15 # . 18916. —
In pursuance of an order of' the su
preme court of the state of New York,
made June 10, 1896, by Hon. Abra
ham R. Lawrence, justice of the su
preme court, you are hereby required
topaytoHenrv Winthrop Gray, re
ceived of the United States Mutual
Accident Association, the sum of
date hereof, that sum being the
amount found due from you on ac
count of liabilities still remaining un
paid which were incurred by the said
association while you were a member
thereof and while your certificate of
membership, division , No.
“All remittaces must be made to

United States Mutual Accident Aasocia
tian, room 13, Mills building, sixth floor
New York city.
“In order that due credit may be giv
en, this notice should be returned with
remittance.’’
S me Decisions on the Paint.
Extracts from some decisions on the
liability of policy hold’ rs in assessment
associations follow:
“The holders of certificates—in assess
ment or co-operative associations—are
co members of the associations, who
have in effect agreed to insure eac h
other. The insured agrees; to meet
mortuary assessments, from time to
time, as they become due. ’ ’
“Members cannot take advantage of
irregularities on the part of the associa
tion to escape payment of assessments.”
“A certilicat? holder may be and
has been compelled to pay during
life.”
“The amount of this personal liabil
ity can never be fixed by the assured,
nor even known by him in advance ”
“There is no way to escape the
liability. Mere refusal to pay an as
sessment does not release a member
from it. Their promises are not
secured by capital, reserve or sur
plus."
“The by laws of such associations
constitute a part of their insurance
contract, ny whit h the holder ie bou id.
These by laws may be changed at any
time without the c msent or know!
edge of the insured.”
“The beneficiary can compel an a8 ‘
sociation to levy an assessment, the
court will oblige the officers to assess,
or, in event of their failure to do so,
the court, at the additional expense
to the members, may do so through
its own officers ”

MR, WALKER WHITESIDE
Charms a R.mi Audience With thePreari.t
atlon of Hamlet,
Mr. Walker Whiteside, the most con
spicuous of the young tragedians of the
Union, wis at Nevin’s last night, and
with a good supporting company ‘pre
sented Hamlet.
With a lithe and symmetrical figure, a
face capable of sharply mirroring every
passion, carriage at once elastic, graceful
and majestic, aud a voice musical, mod
ulated and strong, his execution of his
conception of this p .rt is near as true to
nature as the conception was true to
Shakspheare. There is not in the whole
of Shakspear’s characters one so exacting
one requiring so much art as “Hamlet,’'
yet Mr. Whiteside exhibits in a marvelous
talent, Full of grace, nervous energy and
flooded with enthusiasm, Walker V\ hite
side plays as few men play in this age of
farces and farce comedies.
His support last night was good.
