IFrom. the Chica go-Times Herald.l
Thomas E. Bates of Bates s. Hard
ing, insurance lawyers. takes exception
to the sentiment of an article appear
ing in one of the morning papers re-
garding an affidavit fled in the injunc-
ton suit of the Connecticut Fire against
State superintendent of Insurance
Webb McNau of Kansas. The inference
drawn from the article, says Mr.. Bates,
was that companies whose charters Mr..
McNan did not think entitled them to
write tornado insurance had been black
mailed by legal representatives of Mr..
McNaH to the extent of 800 each.
Speaking on the subject Mr.. Bates
said:
Il simply testified in the Connecticut
case at Chicago that I went out to To-
peka on behalf of four companies to
arrange for their doing a tornado bust
the charters of those companies, copies
of which were filed in his Office, did not
authorize the companies to do a lorna
do business; that the charters only per-
mitted them to do a fire business, and
that until could show him that the
charters authorized them to do a tor
nado business he could not permit them
to do it. told him thought we could
satisfy him that acts of the legislature,
passed in the states where these COM
panieS were chartered, enlarged their
scope so as to include the transaction
of a tornado business as well as fire.
He said if there were any acts of that
kind to send copies of them to him.
Il then went to QuintOn & Quinton,
who are, so far as 1 know, attorneys of
good standingin Topeka. and asked them
to present the matter to McNan when
I sent him the acts of the different leg
islatures. They said they would be
glad to present the matter to the COM
missioner, adding that if the subsequent
acts of the legislatures were as I stated,
they thought he would permit these
companies to go on with the tornado bus
mess. I came home and sent the at
torneys certified copies of the acts of
the legislatures, which they presented
to McNall, and he stated that he would
permit the companies to go on with
their tornado business if they would file
these in the office of the superintendent
of insurance at Topeka. When ask
ed QuintOn & QuintOn to present the
matter to the commissioner on behalf
of the companies asked them what fee
they would charge. They said 800 would
be satisfactory if they were successful
and if unsuccessful they would charge
nothing
Mr.. Bates said that there was nothing
about Commissioner McNaIPs CONVEX
sation to lead him to believe that the
commissioner was anything but earnest
and honest in his methods.

Jewels as symbols.

It is asserted that in making a pres
ent of jewelry the first matter to be
considered is the color of the hair OF
the recipient. 1t is thought that bru-
nettes possess mainly positive qualities
the blondes are believed to be more
ideally inclined.
Since silver symboli5es fancy and en-.
thusiasm, it should prevail in the jewel
ry of dark-haired persons, for thus
they received what they lack-poetr.
and idealism.
In the jewelry OF blondes. however,
gold should predominate, for this meta
will dampen their vivacity and weaken
their gayety.
OF the gems, rubies and garnets are
considered the symbols of wisdom and
common sense, and are. therefore, fl
gifts for blondes.
Other gems best suited for light
haired beauties are the topaz, the tur-
quoise and the sapphire.
Brunettes should be presented witt
