up by the payments Of these ASSESS
ments, but Commissioner Smithies after
investigation decided that no cash had
been paid in at all, and he therefore
cancelled the company's license to do
business.
The payments supposed to have been
made to the Fidelity company accord
ing to the stock holdings of the various
parties were $3.50 from the Honolulu
| Investment Company, which held 1900
shares of Fidelity Company STOCK $50
from A. V. Gear, 800 from w. M. Min
! ton, $50 from Fan Con, $50 from w. r.
Harrington and $3.50 from E. May, an
! aggregate of $2O,5OO
The Honolulu Investment Company
transferred to the Fidelity Company an
! Iwilei leasehold valued at $4,000" said
Commissioner Smithies, land gave the
Fidelity Company a demand note for
$4,000. From each of the other stock
holders the Fidelity Company received
demand notes for the amounts due
from them. l am satisfied under these
circumstances that no cash was paid
in at all and have therefore revoked the
Fidelity Company's certificate allowing
it to do business.
Mr.. May has appeared to think that
| some person or some rival company has
been stirring the matter up, but the fact
| is that the only thing back of the mat
| ter is the insurance law passed by the
| last legislature. l have shown all pos
sible leniency to the company, it being
4 local concern, but my duty under the
law Is plain to require that these as
sets be put up for the protection of poll
| icy holders.
4 do not see how the company could
meet policies. Its assets as shown by
the statements are principally realty,
of kind that cannot be quickly con-
verted into ready cash. Each piece,
with the exception of the Iwilei lease
hold is subject to a mortgage. Under
the law as it stands there was nothing
for me to do but what haYe done"
Several shares of Fidelity stock were
sold at par yesterday at auction the
buyer being M. l.. May brother of
! Emmett May They were offered as the
result of a foreclosure on a note for
which they had been put up as security.
Bidding began at IS and went up to
par, or $40, at which figure May bought
them.
The revocation of the license of the
company, it is stated, operates to can
eel it's various policies and bonds. The
company has done a good business and
gone on numerous bonds. Among the
latter are some filed in court, on APP
peals Of various sorts. 1t is claimed
that they are void now, and that new
| ones will have to be furnished.

THEIR LICENSE
IS REVOKED
FIDELITY INSURANCE CO.'S AS
SETS HELD TO BE INSULT
GENT UNDER INSURANCE LAW.

Deputy Insurance Commissioner
George E. Smithies has served notice
on the Fidelity Insurance Company
that it's license has been revoked by
him, on account of the companys fail
ure, as decided by Smithies, to comply
with the law requiring such companies
to have at least $4,000 of cash or nego-
table assets on hand. The action is the
final result of a notice given sixty days
ago, in which the Commissioner called
the attention of the company to his
views of it's lack of sufficient assets and
gave the sixty days time allowed by
law for making good,
On November 10 Smithies sent notice
to the company that he did not con-
slider it's statement of assets satisfac-
tory. Some of the securities were over
valued in the estimation of the Com
missioner, and he declared that the
company lacked $11,54S.17 of having
enough to comply with the law, in paid
ir capital.
On December 1 the company called in
the balance of it's assessments, and ii
has since filed a statement showing APP
parently that the sum lacking was made

QUAKER DOCTORS ARE
ARRESTED IN MOLINE
ON MARKET
SQUARE, AFOUL
SELLING DRUGS WITHOUT

Fred Blankner and Frank Anselme,
the Quaker doctors, who held forth on
Market square in Rock Island the past
three weeks up to yesterday, when
they went to Moline, where they sold
medicine last night and gave their
free exhibition of negro vaudeville, are
being prosecuted this afternoon in Mo-
line before Justice Andrew Olson by
J. f. Witter. acting states attorney.
on charge of peddling drugs without
a state license.
The charge was preferred by the
Moline police department and the
state board of health. Should the de-
PENDANTS be found guilty as charged
a fine of 800 for the first offcnse or
sentence of 50 days in the county Jail
will be imposed. and for each subse-
quent offense a fine of 5000 or 80 days
in the county Jail.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-08-18

At Moline, like in Rock Island, the
doctors procured a city license,
amounting to So per night, for selling
their medicine, but, it is alleged, they
had no state license, which is required
The ordinary peddlers' license issued
to them allowing them to sell their
drugs in city is granted by the may.
or and the city clerk.
Should the itineTant doctors be
found guilty of the charge brought
against them by the police department
of Moline and the state board of
health. it is probable that additional
charges will be made against them for
peddling their medicine on the streets
i'll Rock Island the past three weeks
without a state license. The amount
charged for state license for the
vending of drugs is 800 per month.

In company with Officers Cooper
and Billings, she called at the county
Jail last evening to interview Howell,
but failed to fully identify him,
though she said he acted just like her
husband, yet he looked so different
She said her husband always dress
ed neatly and dyed his hair black,
while the man behind the bars wore
overalls, was barefooted, and his US
ually clean shaven face was covered
with a reddish stubble. The police
say ne appears so different from what
he did the night of his arrest that
they could barely recognize him as

Is Harry Howell, now serving a SEN
teuce of Is days in the county Jail at
Muscatine, wife deserter? This
question is uppermost in the mind OF
a Rock Island woman who arrived in
Muscatine yesterday on a tour of in
vestigation.
The lady interested tells a story OF
marriage. brief honeymoon, and
then desertion. in which the recreant
husband is alleged TO have defrauded
his trusting wife in 80 days out of
money and property valued at thous-
and dollars.
Mrs. Howell claims that she was
married on Feb. 6. 1904, to a gentle
man whose name she now bears, and
that about month later he vamoosed.
She had never seen or heard of him
since until a few days ago, when her
attention was attracted TO a newspa-
per story of the hold-up of Attorney
H. NJ Bartlett. of Muscatine, by two
strangers. one of whom gave the name
of Howell.
Thinking this party might be her
missing husband. she began to make
inquiries by telephone and supple
mented this information by a personal
visit to the city.

MISS TOMLINs0N A BRIDE
Abandons Stage Career to Wed MIR.
Cowperthwaite.

Announcements have come to
friends here of the marriage at Raw
enswood. a suburb of Chicago, last
Sunday evening, of Miss Emalyne
Tomlinson and F E. Cowperthwaite, a
New York business man. The cere
mOny was performed at the Ravens
wood Baptist church. The bride had
come TO Chicago only recently from
New York, where she had appeared
in a number of prominent theatrical
productions. to accept a part in Pres
ton GibsOn's new play. which had its
premiere two weeks ago in Milwau-
kee. and in which her work received
flattering praise from the critics. Mr..
COwperthwaite is a stOckhOlder and
general manager of the c. c. Flint Fur
niture company of New York City.
Mrs. Cowperthwaite is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. TOmlinson,
of Orion. She taught school in
Henry county. She developed rare
dramatic talent, and was in demand
at entertainments at home and in the
tri-cities. 4 few years ago she deter
mined on a stage career and entered
the Anna Morgan school in Chicago.
Her beauty and natural abilities soon
attracted the attention of managers.
and last spring she was awarded the
Richard Mansfield scholarship offered
the most efficient student of the Nor
gan school. This entitled her to an
engagement with Mansfield. She was
cast for a small part in Ivan. the
Terrible" but owing TO Mansfield's de-
cisiOn TO defer production of the play,
she went TO "A Venetian Romance,
running in New York. Afterwards she
was with The Southerners," a &. w.
Lederer production.
She and Mr.. Cowperthwaite met
while she was playing in New York
He is wealthy. She is a charming
young woman. whose host of admir-
ing friends here will rejoice in her
good fortune. II is understood that
she Will abandon the public career in
which she was making such a splendid
success. The couple will reside in
New York
