Assistant OnartermaSter-Genera A. J. Perry met
the two coroncrs and had an h0ur conversation

Coroner Levy said that at the request OF MISS f ,
Buck of Lincoln Nebraska, he wished permit from
the military authorities to dlsinter the Douy OF

THE NEW INSURANCE LAW OPPOSED.
INDIGNATION AGAINST IT AMONG BROKERS' AND
MERCHANDISE IT CONsTIrUrIoNALf
Fire insurance brokers have been comforting
upon the new State law which has gone into effect
prohibiting any agent, broker or person. acting
for himself III behalf of any other person or per-
sons IN soliciting procuring policies or risks on
located in thus state from companies
not authorized TO do business under thG
laws. While they decline for prudential
reasons to say what action they have taken IN
il is understood that advice Is To be
o aimed AS To he COnSt tut tOnalliN OF the law. III
is objected that the law il Iucqultablc and VIII
work injury 10 the business interests OF the city
needing insurance and that the Governor signed II
without giving u proper hearing - the persons
affected by II. The clause quoted is the part of the
law to which exception is taken, and II Is asserted
q hat II was smugglcd III under deceptive title 10
the bill, namely, AN act relating to service OF
process upon insurance companies, etc.
In behalf of the law il is said that il is intended
10 prevent the home companies which pay taxes 10
the state from competition with outside corpora
tiOns that do not contribute to the support OF the
Government or the Insurance Patrol here. II is also
said that the merchants themselves need protection
from wild cat companies who keep agents here
to solicit risks. The brokers reply to this, that the
lllegitimate insurance that was obtained
under the old laws was insignificant
in amount. There are many mcrchants paTtlcu-
larry those in the dry-goodS trade. who are unable
to secure all the insurance needed for the large
stocks they carry from the companies dong bus-
ness in the state and compelled to 90 10 foreign
companies those doing business IN Other states.
1t is not a question of rates which prevents the
home companies from granting all the insurance
required but one Of prudence IS the companies 40
not deem It safe to assume the RISKS asked Tor.
The new law makes II mSGcmeauOr
for any person, business man or broker
TO be concerned IN any way IN procuring the lnsur-
ance from outside companies that the home corpo-
raj ions confess TO be unable To supply. The 0ppp-
tion TO the law is bitter among insurance brokers /
md dry-goOds merchants, and II Is likely that the |
ourtS VIII be called upou to pass uNon the con'l-
utiOnality of the measure. \ committee OF the !
brokers' has charge of the matter
