the main line of which traverses rich
section of Arkansas, is said to be one
OF the best paying lines in the west.
An official of the road states that the
receivership is due to a mistake in the
financial plans of the company. Ac-
cording to his statement, provision was
made for only $1,000 mile for equip
ment, when it should have been $1,000
a mile, and as a result $500, 900 had to
be taken out of the treasury which
should have been applied to the inter
est fund. The earnings of the road last
month were 1885, 900 against $273, 900 the

Attorney General Davis Files Suit
Against Sixty-Three Fire In

DECLARE THEY WILL QUIT the STATE.
Estimated Cost of Producing . Bale of
Cotton-Federal Grand Jury Discharged
for n Unique Causs-An Obstinate Girl.
Damage Suits Continued.
After Insurance. Companies.


Attorney-Gener jeff Davis has in
stituted suit in Pulaski circuit court
against SO fire insurance companies do
ing business in Arkansas, for violation
OF the antitrust law, approved March
5th, 1899. All the companies affected
have instructed their agents to write
no more insurance in this state until
further notice. 1t is the opinion of
leading business men that il the law is
not amended by the legislature no
more insurance will be written until
the question of the validity of the law
is settled in the courts. Some prom
inent lawyers, however, contend that
the insurance companies will not with
draw from the state permanently,
should the law remain as it is, but con-
duct their business to conform to it's
provisions 1t is further argued by
some that the insurance companies are
simply making bluff, but that If they
should carry out their threat to with
draw, other companies in no way con-
|
rates, with ample capital to carry all
the insurance written in the state,
would come in. Insurance men claim
that the rates in existence in Arkansas
are as low as the conditions warrant,
and that to do business at less rates
would be ruinous in the end. 1t is a
question of great Importance, the out
come of which cannot be now foreseen.
Attorney General Davis has ruled
that it is no violation of the law for a
company to settle or adjust loss which
occurs on contract entered into prior
TO the passage of the antitrust law.
Following is copy of the suit filed
by the attorney-general:
'"rhe plaintiff, the State Of Arkansas,
by the attorney-general, jeff Davis,
| complains of the defendant, and for
cause OF action alleges: First, that the
defendant is foreign corporation en-
gagged in the business of insuring prop
erty against loss by fire, lightning,
storm and tornado. in this state, and
was SO engaged on the 9th day of
March, 1899. Second, that while SO en-
gagged the said defendant became and
was a member of q combination with
other corporations engaged in similar
business, to regulate and FIX the price
or premium to be paid for insuring
property, contrary to law. Third. 1t is
provided that II any corporation be
guilty of q violation of the act, ap-
proved March 8, 1899, said corporation
shall forfeit not less than $500 nor more
than IS, 900 for every such offense; there.
fore, plaintiff prays that defendants

feited, and shall forfeit its right to dc
business in this state, and that plaintiff
have and recover Judgment against said
defendant in the sum of IS, 900 and al
costs in this suit expended"
