TEXAN LAW OFFICER
AFTER INSURANCE MEN

Fifty-nine foreign insurance compan-
les which are carrying on business in
Texas. have been attacked by Attorney
General Bell. OF that State. who is seek
ing to have the permits forfeited because
the companies entered into al agree
ment to fix and maintain rates in Texas
in violation of the antitrust law in that
State
In the case of the Waters Pierce Oil
Company against the state of Texas, the
Supreme Court of the United States held
that foreign corporations which carry on
business in Texas are subject to the
laws of that State. The oil company in
this case is branch of the Standard
Oil Company. The case involved legal
points similar 10 those upon which the
action against the insurance companies
is based, and insurance attorneys are
much interested in the outcome of the
action the Texas attorney general has
taken.
1t is alleged by Mr.. Bell that an East
ern insurance company furnished all fire
insurance companies doing business in
Austin with rating sheet of each house
in the city. This sheet is said to have
been adopted by all in violation Of the
antitrust law. The Texas attorney gen
eral seeks TO have penalties aggregating
81. 800 imposed on each company in adj
dition to the forfeiture of all charters.

.FRIARS' LANDS HELD
At TOO HIGH A PRICE
Negotiations for Holdings in Philip
pines Making Slow Progress.

Secretary Root IS receiving advices
from Rome. Manila and other points, all
indicating that the negotiations for tie
purchase of the friars' lands in the Phil
ippines are not progressing favorabIy.
Not only is the price demanded by the
church excessive, but there appears 20 be
collision between the friars and the
corporations having interest in the lands.
and there Is friction between Archbishop
Guidi. the papaI delegate representing
the Vatican, and the heads of the diff
ferent orders. all of which has caused
q deadlock for the present It is prob
able the authority of the Pope will be
invoked to remove this last difficulty.
The Government has decidedly the adj
vantage in the general situation. II is
estimated that at the present time there
are nearly 10000 tenants on the church
lands. and If the property is not sold to
the Government and remains in the
hands of the orders, il will be necessary
to commence nearly $4,000 e1ectment
suits. for it is certain that most OF the
tenants will refuse TO give up the land
which they now hold

WHOLE CITY COUNTING
DOTS IN The TIMES
Society Takes Up the Fad and Stores
Run Short of Pins.


Washington has gone dotty. Not in
the sense OF slang, but literally. The
people of Washington have had many
things in the way of puzzle pictures,
catch games, and other like amuse-
ment, but nothing has taken such a
strong hold upon the energy and atten-
ton of readers of The Times as the Won
derful aggregation of dots Arranged
in apparently simple form and with
much regard for symmetry, the solution
Of the problem-the number of dots in
the collection-seems an easy task. But
the more one counts the more assured
does he become that he has astigmatism
in its worst form
Many methods of arriving at the So
luton have been employed. The notion
and department stores report that never
before was the demand for pins so great.
The many applications for these little
ard useful things come in not for the
single paper but for dozens OF pack
ages. Proprietors were beginning to see
the end of the needle and threads use
fulness because it was thought that
some faddist had started the custom Of
pinEing things together instead of sew
ing
But the reason was soon learnc !
when last night dot" party was given
by prominent society girl when all the
guests took a hand in solving the prob
lem. Pins were stuck all over the paper.
and many of the ''pesky little things, ="
as one girl called the dots, were dis
posed of. Housewives have put aside
the buster and key ring for the little bit
of paper and its alluring dots and
husbands are doing we'll to get even a
bite where before a hearty meal awaited
them
Some have been so eager to count the
exact number of dots that they have pur-
chased microscopes that the task may
prove easier.
The task seems simple. but it has
more difficulties than the Pigs in
Clover or the well-remembered "l3, IA,
10" puzzle ever presented. 1t has set a
whole city to counting and may regard
itself as monarch OF that city's time
and OF its people.
Answers to the puzzle will be received
at The Times Office up to 6 p. N. Sat
urday, June 20. Prizes Will be awarded
promptly and everyone who has not be-
come interested in the solution of the
problem is advised TO get "dotty" at once
and be up-to-date
