An Official Circular Regarding the Over
head Insurance Law.
NEWS NOTES REGARDING THE UNIVERSITY
Negroes Met % Express Themselves
Because They Have Deen Over
looked in Appointments.

Austin, Texas. August 5.--The following
cpen letter was handed out by the depart
ment OF agriculture, insurance. statistics
aad history this morning.
t. the officers and, Managers OF Insurance
Companies Doing Business In the State
of Texas.
conference.-the attorney general is the
legal adviser of this department. He has
construed the overhead insurance act to
mean that local agent regularly appoint
ed, may write business anywhere In the
State by paying the required tax. This
construction leaves nothing over the over
head insurance law except that 1t prevents
companies authorized to do business In
the State from writing contracts OF insur-
ance except through agents regularly ap-
pointed and resident in the State.
This department will follow the instruc-
ton OF the attorney general In answer to
our request that he construe this law. We
quote from the attorney generals letter
TO us, as follows:
80 long as the companies comply Win
the law In the issuance OF the policy
through their regularly licensed ana COM
mssioned local agents in Texas, they do
not incur the penalty denounced by the
statute, and 1t is immaterial whether the
property insured Is situated in the county
Of the residence of the local agent Issuing
or delivering the policy or not. Each LEGAL
agent must pay his occupation tax where
he does business, and, If in more counties
than one in each county IN which he
transacts his business, but If he only pays
occupation tax in the county Of his resi-
dence then he can insure property any
where in Texas, when the business comes
to him, and he delivers the policy in his
own county When such agent leaves his
own county or solicts business in other
counties. then he must pay State and
county occupation tax in such other couu-
ties, in addition to the State and county
occupation tax paid by him in the county
of his residence, We also think II per-
Missile for the local agent 70 issue the
blanket policy attached to the letter Of Mr..
---, We think 1t also n compliance
with the law for said insurance companies
to Issue blanket or transit policies on
property wherever situated in Texas; pro-
wded, however, that the same be so done
through the regularly licensed and COM
missionei local agents of such companies
in Texas. independent OF the fact as TO
whether or not such property is situated
in the county OF the residence of such
local agent"
You will be Justified IN accepting tho
attorney generals letter as the correct
Interpretation OF the law, rather than my
letter Of January q, 1899.

hunted down with rcrsistency and eagerness
that signihed their laith in the Cup defender
had not been shaken by the result OF the two
trials.
Though the Shamrock men have plucked up
courage enough to stake heavily on the result
they appear still to have the greatest respect for
the historical races for the Americas Cup and

from his brother. DR.. Thomas Scott DERRICK

Il know that this letter will relieve the

we will be kept here at Elate for the winter.
We have been at tho Greedy house and the ma
tives are within call. Strange to say. have
been in good health and have increased in
weight from 1873 pounds to 100"
DR.. Dedrick writes that the members Of the
party are in winter quarters. and that they
were badly handicapped because Peary had
had his feet frozen At the time that his
feet were frozen the average temperature
was 27.7S degrees below zero. They
had been from Elate to Lady franklin Bay
They had to travel mt night as they could not
travel in the daytime on account OF the fierce

in that on ono aide OF one OF the

it will eventually heal up all right. The loss OF
these toes was a serious matter to tho patient
and he will always at the very best be moro or
