Royal Benefit Society seeks license battle with Drake

A heated dispute in the District circulates around whether the Royal Benefit Society may lawfully do business without a license. Attorney Henry B. Davis questions Corporation Counsel Duvall on several code provisions and the superintendent of insurance Thomas H. Drake. Davis argues the society should not be forced into court for a license, asserting Drake can only seek judicial action, not compel issuance. The society plans to pursue its rights while the charges against Drake are debated.
