Royal Benefit Society Withdraws Charges Against Insurance Superintendent
The Royal Benefit Society withdrew more than sixty charges against Thomas E. Drake, superintendent of insurance, amid a demand for reconsideration of its right to do business in the District. President Pennington said the action follows Attorney Henry E. Davis's communication and is viewed as vindicating Drake. The Commissioners will abandon further consideration, with Corporation Counsel Duvall to review questions on society’s right to operate.
