The law of Alabama, passed in 1897, to prevent agreements and combina tions between insurance companies Sfor the purpose of fixing rates of fire ~.insurance, has been held to be consti tutional by the supreme court of the United States. The act provided that every policy of fire Insurance should be Interpreted in event of loss thereunder, to in'clude a - 25 per cent penalty if the insurance . company, either at the same time the policy was issued or before the tizne of trial, was a member of the tariff asso E ciation for fixing the rate of insurance. The Invalidity of the law arose in a suit of Foster K. Hale, Jr., against the German Alliance Insurance company, Iof New York, to recover $4,000 insur ance for the loss by fire of lumber at Byrne's Mill Pond, Baldwin county, Alabama, and for $1,000 penalty under the act of 1897. It was claimed that the insurance company made a settle ment by the Southeastern Tariff asso ciation, which fixed rates for insur ance. The federal court of Alabama. upheld the constitutionality of the law. From this judgment an appeal was taken to the superior court which af firmed that holding. DEATH CLAIMS' MORTON.
