hursements $50, 100, eos, leaving the ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts s1l,-

ALLEGED INSURANCE TRUST.
An Agent of the Kansas Insurance Office
Accuses Kansas City MOI Companies,

an AEGuL OF L-AG Ahu1tHa INSURANCE Ol4Ca
Accuses Kansas City MOI Companies.
TOPEKA, Kap., July 51.-Special Com
missioner McGray, of the state insur-
Rnce department, has fled a report Of
his investigation into the methods Of
the insurance companies doing busi-
ness in the two Kansas Citys. McCray
says that the agents of the insurance
companies doing business in Kansas
City, No, have the strongest kind of a
trust; that one-third of the insurance
written on Kansas property is Writ
ten by the companies not authorized to
do business in this state, and that
three-fourths of the unauthorized busi-
ness is written in Kansas City, Mo.
The unlawful business, he says, exc
tends TO Kansas City, Kan, Lawrence,
Olathe, Ottawa and other towns in
eastern Kansas, and it extends to all
kinds of risks. He says these Kansas
towns are visited by regular agents of
companies not licensed to do business
here at all. The underground insur-
ance extends not only to packing
houses, but also to lumber yards, mills,
elevators, manufacturing and mercan-
tile establishments throughout the enc
tire territory of eastern Kansas.
