               HON. HARRY L. CONN
            Insurance Commissioner of Ohio
      President National Convention of Insurance
                    Commissioners
 Judge Harry L. Conn, Superintendent of Insurance of
Ohio, is a native of Van TVert, Ohio, where he has been
engaged in the practice of law since 1900, now being sen-
ior member of the law firm of Conn, Hoke & Wright.  He
served two terms as Prosecuting- Attorney, assuming- the
duties of that office in January, 1803; he is Vice Presi-
dent of the First National Bank of Van Wert and per-
manent Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Marsh
Foundation, a five million dollar charitable, educational
trust devoted to the rearing- and training- of dependent
children.  Judge Conn has given much attention to this
welfare work.



                                                           
            He accepted the position of Superintendent of Insur-
            ance  at  the  request  of  the  Governor  in  December,  1922,       
   and was appointed in 1924 an Associate Justice of the      e ;'
           Supreme Court of Ohio, and elected to that office in 1924
           for the unexpired term, subsequently resuming the posi-
           tion of Superintendent of Insurance.
            Following Mr. Corcoran's paper given before the meet-
           ing of the Insurance Commissioners at San Antonio in
           1925, Judge Conn introduced a resolution that a commit-
           tee of five actuaries be appointed to consider and recom-
           mend its conclusions on the matter of a revised mortality
           table.  The report of this committee will probably come
           before the next meeting of the Insurance Commissioners
           to be held at Los Angeles, California, in November, 1926,
           at which Mr. Conn will preside.
