Fraternal Insurance.
The Supreme Court of Washington has sustained Judge Tallman of Seattle in a case that is of interest to every member of fraternal insurance orders in the state.
The decision in effect is that a member of a fraternal order may change the beneficiary in the insurance certificate at pleasure, without notice to the beneficiary. The case in point is that of Lydia L. Cade against Alfred and Fannie M. Cade, and the facts are as follows:
Three years ago Walter Cade joined the Woodmen of the World and took out a certificate of insurance payable to his wife, Lydia L. Cade. Soon thereafter he and his wife had a disagreement and the husband had the lodge substitute his father and mother, Alfred and Fannie Cade, as beneficiaries. In a short time Mr. Cade died and when Mrs. Cade applied for the insurance she learned for the first time of the change of beneficiaries. She at once began suit for the money, which had been paid into court by the lodge, but Judge Tallman held that the weight of authorities were against her and rendered his decision accordingly. Mrs. Cade took an appeal and the Supreme Court has sustained the lower court.
