TUESDAY, THE LEGION OFHONOR. I Policy Holder Applies for a Receiver. A JERSEY CITY MAH Trouble for the Well Known Mutual Insurance Order. THE SPECIFIQATIOHS OF THE BILL. Charges That Two Classes Have Been Created. ALSO CHANGE ORIGINAL CONTRACT Court A'ked to Enjoin Management From Separat ng Monies Receined From As-essments New York, Aug. 16.—The Herald ■ays: It is anuqunced in Jersey City that papers have been filed in the United States court at Boston ou behalf of Jo seph McNamara of Jersey Oity for the appointment of a receiver for the Amer ican Legion of. Honor. The petitioner asks that the receiver shall take charge of all moneys paid in as assessments by members of the order and that the le gion of honor be enjoined from separat ing moneys received by it from former assessments as is now dona. The bill sets forth that when Mc- Namara became a member of the legion of honor, each life insurance certificate was charged upon money received from assessments and the number of deatns regulated the number of assessments ordered; that ou Dec 1, 1896, a change was made and persons holding certifi cates were divided into two classes and that the money received from each class was held separate, and wus charged only with the payment of certificates iu the class to which the moneys belonged, thereby changing the object of the orig inal contracts without the assent of the members who made the contracts aud also increasing the number of assess ments. i The American Legion of Honor was incorporated in Massachusetts to carry on the business of life insurance upon a mutual benefit plan. Moneys received from the assessments were put into a common fund. Mr. McNamara took out a $3,000 life insurance policy in the order in 1888. Recently the American Legion of Honqr began a suit against two of the seceding councils of this city to recover sick benefit fuuds which had not been turned over to the supreme council af ter the branches had seceded. Members of the branches assert that the supreme council is not entitled to the sick benefit fuuds because it never had any jurisdiction over them. PRISONERS OF THE STORM.
