M'NALL has DONE 1T
And He Doesn't See Where Judge
Fosters Order Applies.

Webb McNall stands in the position,
as he says, "of having been enjoined
by the federal court from doing some
thing which have already done"
He was enjoined from interfering
with the business of the METROPOLITAN
Life Insurance company Of New York
in Kansas. He is not doing so, and
license to do business in Kansas, be-
cause it was revoked by the superin-
tendent of insurance No order d1rect-
ing him to restore the company'S au-
thority by issuing a license has been
made, consequently there is some que5-
ton as to the material benefits to be
derived by the company in the demand
for relief made through the injunction
proceedings, which resulted success
fully.
The general agent of the company at
Kansas City, Kan, says new agents
will be placed in the field and the COM
pany's business enlarged Upon that
proposition Mr.. McNall said today:
THAT would be the natural outcome
of a decision of that character, and
while the Kansas statutes require local
agents of foreign companies to pay a
license fee of 81 each to the super1n-
tendent of inSurance-he to issue the Ii
cenSe after the receipt of such fees, and
the money to be covered into the state
treasury to assist in paying the run
ming expenses of the state-that the
aforesaid general agent should make
up his mind whether he is going to pay
his 81 license fee to the clerk of the
federal court and receive his license
from that department, or, like the
freight train running wild without or
ders, not pay it at all to any individ-
ual
He says that they are going to en-
large their business by placing new
agents in the field. So far as this de-
partment is concerned, their license has
been revoked and such action has been
advertised as the law requires. The
law now provides for the various coun-
ty attorneys in the state of Kansas to
prosecute any individual soliciting in
Surance in Kansas without being Ii
censed from this department. I sup
pose if the county attorneys prosecute
there will be 105 injunction suits brought
various counties in Kansas for doing
just what the statutes require them to
do

SEYMOUR DAyIS'MARRIAGE
His Attachment for Miss Biddle
Makes a Pretty Romance.


Makes a Pretty Romance
(From the Philadelphia Evening Bulle-
tin, June 29.)
Married Clara VIII be homo This
Tuesday) afternoon at All Broad
Street station.
SEYMOUR DAVIS"
Such was the contents of a telegram
received TINS morning by Paul A. Dav-
is, Jr., at his office, from his son, Seys
mour.
This brief message meant that Sey-
nour had taken unto himself a wife.
Seymour Davis is a prominent young
architect of this city, with an office at
9O7 Walnut street. His bride is Miss
Clara Biddle, described as the beautiful
and accomplished daughter of the lead
ing physician of Emporia, Kan.
Young Davis was graduated from the
Academy of Fine Arts II years ago,
at the age of 81, and went west to grow
up with the country. He settled in To-
peka, Kan, and, after being in business
there for few years, was called to the
responsible position of state architect.
His business was to draw the plans and
Superintend the erection of all state
buildings in Kansas.
About six or seven years ago he was
called to a city in Kansas to make the
plans for public building. but was ia
ken i'll on the way and could go no far
Their than Emporia.
Here he was delirious for several
days and when he recovered conscious
ness, heS-fOund that he had been cared
for by DR.. Biddle and that the physi-
clans daughter, Clara, although only
child, had cared for him.
An attachment Sprang up between
them. They correspondent with each
other. Four of young Davis drawings
had been accepted by the Wards fair
commissioners and the buildings duly
erected. His fame was spreading in
the west. Later he was selected as the
expert to draw the plans for Montana'S
5 million dollar state capitol.
According to report young Davis
made frequent trips to Enporia, and
when he left Kansas two years ago for
his native heath, it is whispered that he
promised to call for her ere long.
Satur lay Mr.. Davis babe the mem
on his Journey to Kansas. 1t was be-
lieved that he intended to merely pay
a visit to Miss Biddle. Therefore, the
announcement of their marriage came
as a pleasant surprise.
The ceremony was quietly performed
in the office of the city clerk at Indian
apoliS yesterday and the couple imme-
diately left for this city.
The senior Mr.. Davis will meet the
couple at the station He will present
them with the house at 2009 Girard ave-
nue., at which they will mae their flu
ture home.
The bridegroom is member of the
Manufacturers club and Is a brother of
VIM. B. Davis, a lawyer of this city.
Another brother is a student at the
Ecole des Beaux Arts, in Paris.
The Davis family seemed to be pleas
ed over the marriage and the couple
will b. rendered reception this even
ing at the Girard avenue residence.
