RULING ON INSURANCE
DECISION ADVERSE TO CREDIT
COMPANIES.

The state insurance department re-
ceived an opinion yesterday from the at
torneys general, the effect of which, brief
~ stated, is that credit insurance COM
panies, so called, may not legally do bust
ness in this state.
The opinion relates that one of the pro-
visions of the insurance laws of this state
authorizes companies ito guarantee the
fidelity of persons in positions of trust,
private or public, and to act as surety
on official bonds, and for the performance
of other obligations" and that it has
been suggested by the attorneys for one
of the credit insurance companies wish
ing a Minnesota license that the authori-
ty to guarantee the fidelity of persons in
positions of trust, private or public, is
sufficient to embrace credit insurance.
The attorney general, however, holds
to the contrary and in explanation of
that position he says that the contract
in credit insurance is one providing for
indemnity for losses sustained by the
insured in sales of property on time or
credit, and that the insurer does not con-
tract to make make good the failure,
debt or default of the person dealing with
the insured On the other hand, the
guarantee insurance authorized in the
portion of the law quoted specifically in
IDENTITIES the insured against loss
through the defaleation of a third per-
son, who is designated and becomes a
party to the contract.

VAN SAINT HAS ACTED
APPOINTS COMMISSION TO INVES-
TIGATE CHARGES AGAINST
G. b. WHITEHORNE
NAMES NOT MADE PUBLIC
Commissioners Have Not Yet Sig
nified Their Acceptance to the
Governor-Kane to
Present Charges.

AS was announced in the G o b e of
Sunday morning, Gov. Van SAINT, upon his
return to the city yesterday, selected a
commission to Investigate the charges
against George B. Whitehorne as county
commissioner, with a view to removing
him from office.
, thated. THfoaofanoi. hm rfdwlyupa1
County Attorney t. r. Kane held d
long conference yesterday morning with
the governor in regard to this matter and
yesterday afternoon the governor said
to the G l b that two commissioners
had been selected, but as he had not yet
received word from them as to whether
they could serve, he would not at That
time announce their names. He expects,
however, to hear from them early today
and there will then be no further reason
for secrecy.
The charges against Whitehorne before
the governor were filed by County At
torney Kane, VINO will present the evil
dence before the commission on behalf
of the county; and the commission will
also have the benefit of the legal advice
of Attorney General Douglas. The
charges allege malfeasance and nom
feasance in office, it being specifically set
forth under the former head that the ac-
cused falsified the records Of the county
to which as a county commissioner, he
had unrestrained access, and marked as
paid certain receipts for taxes which had
in fact not been paid. AS non-feasance
it is related that Whitehorne has been
absent from twelve meetings of the board
of equalization and one meeting of the
county commissioners. In the line of in
vestigation the commission will have UNI
restricted power to Summon witnesses
and call for records and papers bearing
upon the question. It's report will be
made to the governor, who Aone has
power to act in matters of this kind.

PARK BOARD BUYS Land
ENLARGEMENT AT INDIAN MOUNDS
HAS COST $4,000
Twelve Thousand Dollars More Is
Necessary, arld Condemnation
Proceedings VIII He
Resorted To.

So far the park board mas relinquished
control of a something in excess of $31, 900
in purchasing land for the enlargement Of
Indian Mounds park, but more is neces>
sary and this the board will have to
obtain by condemnation proceedings.
The remainder, it is estimated will
cost about $4,000 and this the board at
it's meeting last night, discussed to the
extent of deciding that the most feasible
plan would be to raise it by assessment.
The territory to be covered will be ex-
tended to Jackson street, making the as
sessment on each Individual property
owner a mere trif1e.
For the maintenance of the parks the
remainder of the year, the board has
available only about $4,000, and the
strictest economy will be necessary in
order to pull through. The members
spent some time in discussing the
finances and the funds that will be avail
able, but could find no solution of the
difficulty beyond cutting down expenses.
President Wheelock said he was in re-
ceipt of letter suggesting that the pro-
posed capitol park be named Seabury

it inception, but no action was taken on
the suggestion Some of the members
are very much in doubt as to whether
the Improvement will ever be consum-
mated.

With the normal board as to the manage

In fact since the proceedings of the
normal boards meeting of Saturday were
made public the members of the board of

sole member of the board at the office
yesterday and he refused to discuss the
questions in controversy, at least until
