OF the state OF Kansas any certificate
of authority to, directly or indirectly,
transact any business OF insurance in
the state Of Kansas, but had been
and still is refused and denied any
such certificate; and said company
had end has no authority whatever
from the state Of Kansas to transact
in said state any life insurance or
other insurance business whatever.
"And the said attorney general, in
name, by authority and on behalf OF
the state OF Kansas, AYERS that, by
reason of the premises, the said de-
ferdant has usurped and does usurp
upon the state Of Kansas the franchise
aforesaid, and claims and assumes to
exercise the same without authority
OF law.
Wherefore, the said attorney gen
eral, in the name, by authority and
on behalf OF the state of Kansas, prays
the court here tina: said defendant
may be required to answer to this
matter, that he may be Ousted and
forever excluded from claiming or ex.
ercising said franchise without
authority of the state of Kansas first
had and given in accordance with the
laws Of said state, and that said state
may be given such other relief as the
case upon hearing may warrant"
The case in the supreme court will
take the same course as civil pro-
ceeding. 1t will be tried on It's merits.
The insurance company will be called
upon to produce evidence showing
that it is legally entitled to do bust
ness in Kansas. If it fails to do this,
then it will be deprived of doing bust
ness in the state. The CHEZ bone of
contention is over the question raised
by the recent action of State lnsur-
ance Commissioner McNall as to
whether the insurance department
can arbitrarily bar a solvent company
out Of the state.
Chief Justice DUSter will not likely
sit in the hearing of the case, as he is
a policy holder Of the company which
is tangled up in the litigation. High
minded judges, from those nn the
United States supreme court down,
have always refrained from sitting 10
an Insurance case in which Il com
pany in which they were insured was
involved. Although Chief Justice
DOStel has desire 10 twist the tail
OF corporations in general aud insur.
ance companies in particular, he
would no doubt vacate the bench in
this case to prevent criticism Of his
acts. The case will not come I'D in
the supreme court until October,
The attorneys for the insurance com
pany will probably call Judge vii.
liamS' attention 10 the action OF AT
tOrney General Boyle. and the federal
Judge is likely TO have the attorney
general before him for contempt at

BOYLE Defies the Federal Court.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. 9.-The threat
ened clash of authority between the
state and federal authorities took
place today when Attorney General
L. G. Boyle dehed the recent order of
Judge Williams of the United States
circuit court, and instituted proceed
ingS in the state supreme court to en-
Join the Mutual Life Insurance CON-
pany of New York from transacting
business in the state Of Kansas. The
right Of the federal court virtually TO
set aside a criminal law Of state and
enjOin the states prosecuting officer
from doing his duty under the state
Law is denied, and by filing the suit
today the attorney general deliber.
ately violated the injunction of the
federal court for the purpose Of set
Ting the question of states rights.
A few days ago Attorney General
Boyle said in an interview that be
would not violate the order of Judge
Williams. He reiterated that state
ment this forenoon. This afternoon
he dictated a petition to his stenO-
grapher, and at O'Clock filed it with
the clerk of the supreme court.
The case is in the nature Of quo
warrantO proceeding. The attorney
general brought it GU relation of the
state, aud made John E. Lord, the
general agent of the Mutual Life ID
suranCe company of New York for the
state of Kansas, the defendant.
Lords name was used IN order to get
the foreign corporation into court.
Boyle expects to push this case in
the supreme court, and at the same
time he expects to Oe cite d to appear
in the federal court to show why he
should not be punished for contempt
of court. He claims that the injunc.
ton issued by Judge Williams at

ORDERED TO SHUT DOWN,
Eugene r. Ware Wires Superintendent Espy
to Shut Down the Wellington wster Works
The City's Proposition Rejected.

Eugene F. Ware, attorney for the
Wellington Water Co., telegraphed
Superintendent Espy Monday night
to shut down the waterworks plant
in this city. Mr.. Espy Immediately
wrote Mr., Ware asking that he be al
lowed few days 10 which to notify
private consumers Of the proposed
shut down. No answer had been re.
ceived at the time OF going To press.
The city's proposition to pay two
years back taxes in lieu Of the CON-
pany's claims for back rentals, and to
pay 81 500 per year for fire protection
for the next five years, did not meet
favor at the hands Of the water com.
pany. Mr.. Espy is in receipt Of a
letter from Chas. Perry of Westerly,
r. l., president Of the company, stat
ing that the company would not con-
slider the proposition made by the
city, and that Mr.. Wares last pro-
pOsal to the city for settlement Of
the difficulties was the best the water
company would do in the matter. 1t
depends upon Mr.. Ware whether the
plant will be shut down Immediately
or whether a few days notice will be
allowed private consumers. There
are a great many industries 10 the
city that will surely suffer more or
less by the order to shut down the
water plant.
