What Has Been Going on
During the Past
Week.
INSURANCE S VERY RISKY
When Placed With Companies Which
Have Not Compiled With the State
Law-RuiinE BY Auditor Merriam says
1lsy Have No Standing In Law.

Des Moines, Oct. 7.-Auditor OF
State Merriam ruled yesterday that
q person who accepts insurance from
companies unauthorized to transact
business in the state can have no
standing in the courts of Iowa in case
Of loss.
The ruling was given in the case OF
Hartman & Daniels OF Clinton against
the Northwestern Fire Insurance com.
pany and the Great Britain Fire Insur.
ance corporation. limited. No. 1S9 La
Sale street. Chicago, is the location
of the United States office of both
companies. Hartman & Daniels of
Clinton suffered loss after taking
policies with them and then sought to
collect. The attorneys of the insured
desired the auditor to accept service
on behalf of both companies, as provid'
ed in section 1928 of the code.
Tie auditor answered that neither
insurance company had complied with
the Iowa laws and neither was author
ICED to transact business and that
there was no record either plaintiff or
defendant had complied with section
1853 of the code, which provides that
no action shall be maintained in any
court in the state upon any policy or
contract of fire insurance issued by an
unauthorized company unless it is
shown that insurer or insured, In six
months after the policy has been
taken out, has paid to the treasury OF
the state 2l1a per cent of the gross
premiums paid, or agreed to be paid,
for such policy or contract of insur-
ance.
The attorneys for Hartman & Dan
iels, in asking the auditor to accept
service of notices and forward them
to the companies, cited the decision of
the supreme court in the case of
Sparks VS.. the National Masonic Ae-
cidsnt association, as found in 100
Iowa, page 458. 1t is there held tina:
q company having transacted business
In this state is estopped from deny
ing the operation of it's laws upon it
and that service on the insurance COM
pany has not complied with the state
laws.
Mr.. Merriam took the ground this
decision was not in point as it was
rendered before section 1853 above
mentioned was enacted. Finally, the
attorneys for the Clinton firm offered
to pay the tax due the state and on its
payment the auditor has informed
them he will accept service. The
amount of the tax is small. being ST..
The disregard of the statute, not the
amount at stake, prompted Auditor
Merriam to take the position he did.

AMERICANS AND RUSSIANS CLASH.
U. S. IACKIEs VICTORIOUS.
Crews Of Warshlps Fight at New
Chwang, China-One Wounded
Car Has Complained.

a serious clash occurred between
American sailors and Russian sol.
diers at the Manchurian port of New
Chwang, where the Russians have
settled themselves as if they were
going to hold the port permanently
Nothing IL known at Washington ex-
cept that one Russian was wounded
and that there were three collisions.

lcans trounced the Russians. because
1t was the Russian Minister at Pehing

ter. He laid the facts before Minis.
Ter Conger, who sent the complaint to
washington. Secretary Hay notified
Secretary Long, and the latter called
upon Commander Barry of the gun
boat Vicksburg for an explanation. It
Is assumed that the sailors concerned
are men from the Vlcksburg. which
ls III winter quarters at New Chwang.
Nothing Is likely to come of this
clash except a lot of correspondence.
III Is taken as a matter of course that
thls government will disavow the
acts OF its sailors. If they were the
aggressors. and that Russia will do
likewise II the Russians are to blame.
Naval officers. while deprecating any
breach of the peace. could not re-
Train from chuckllng at the idea that
me Americans made the Russians
hunt cover. Not In the memory of
any man now living has party of
american sailors been whipped in
such an encounter as 1t Is supposed
TOOK place in the nominally Chinese
Dut really Russian port. Many such
nights have taken place in various
ports of the world. Fifteen or 1S
years ago party of American and
French sailors got into fight with
party of British seamen. II lasted
Tor three days, and the British were
driven over the mountains into the
adjoining province In two days
running fight, during which three
British sailors were killed. The
Americans were outnumbered and
were on the defensive until the
Frenchmen joined them. Then they
assumed the offensive. Serious as
that affair was 1t was easily settled
by the diplomats, as this one will
probably be.

owned by Che Hooking Valley and To.

secured options on other immense
tracts of coal land In the Hooking

tai holdings will within the next 30
days amount to from 10000 TO $4,000
acres In the soft coal fields. The COM
pany has purchased the large docks
at Duluth, West Superior, Sheboygan,
