Topeka, Kan, Aug. 9.-The long
threatened clash between the United

the federal authorities. This is the
outcome of an Injunction issued July
% last by United States District Judge

rado Springs, Colo. by which he posi-
lively enjoined State Insurance Com
missioner Webb McNall and Attorney
General Boyle of Kansas from bring
ing any proceedings whatever under
the state laws 70 prevent the Mutual
Lie insurance company from doing
business in Kansas. The injunction of
Judge Williams was sweeping in its eff
feet and amounted, according to Gov
ernor Leedy, Attorney General Boyle
and Commissioner McNaH. to a prac-
teal annulment of a criminal law of
Kansas, under which the insurance
company had been prevented from
doing business in Kansas The author
tiles held that the decision of the
United States judge was a violation of
the constitution and also in contraven-
ton of decisions of the United States
supreme court. Acting upon this be-
lief Attorney General Boyle today went
before the state supreme court. bring
ing proceedings in quo warranto
against the Mutual Life Insurance
company to compel that corporation to
appear before the state supreme court
and show by what authority it is trans
acting business in the state of Kansas.
