Hearing Of Suit Against Superin-
tendent of Insurance.


Justice Anderson has taken under con-
sideration the petition Of James A. Bates
& Co. for a mandamus to compel Commits
sioner Of Insurance Drake to issue to the
firm a license as general fire insurance
agents. Arguments were made by At
torneys Lambert and Mclean and r. H.
Yeatman for the petitioners and by As
sistant Corporation Counsel Stephens for
the insurance department.
Mr.. Drake in his answer denied that
he ever called on Bates & Co. to furnish
the information characterized by the firm
as unlawful and exceeding the authority
Of even a count of justice. He says he
did ask the Firemen's Insurance Com
pany. of which petitioner were agent,
to furnish the insurance department with
the names Of persons through whom
business had been placed, but declares
this information is needed to protect the
company and licensed brokers and agents
from the unfair competition of persons
paying no license fee, and was not in
tended to force the companies to furnish
discriminating evidence against them
selves.
Mr. Drake says that when the Fire
mems company called on Bates & Co.
for the desired information, the firm
declined to furnish it, and upon insistence
by the company gave up Its agency.
Notice of the withdrawal, he says, was
made to the defendant by the company,
and Bates & Co. were notified that no
license would issue to them. Bates &
Co. then applied for license as general
agents, and on being denied instituted suit
for mandamus.
OF the total number OF 40S licensed
companies and brokers, Mr.. Drake in
forms the court, only one in addition to
the petitioners has declined to furnish
the information sought to be obtained by
the insurance department.

RAILROAD TEPMINAL
REVIVAL OF THE STORY ABOUT
THE WABASH.

Since the announcement of an extra
charge on passengers entering this city
by the way of the new union station there
has been a revival of talk about the Wa
bash system making an entrance here by
way of the electric railroad now running
between Georgetown and Great Falls.
l, was said today by a man who is be-
lieved to be in a position to know about
the affairs OF the electric railroad, which
IS owned by John Il. Mclean and Sena-
to Elkns. that there is no question but
THAI the Wabash VIII come to the city, or
rather to the Virginia side of the Po-
tom.- at the AqueIuct bridge, instead of

For Freight and Passengers.
According to the pian it would be neces-
sary to have not only facilities for hand
Ing fre.g ht. but also passengers on the
south side of the Aduaduct Bridge. In
spite however. of the assurances. there
is Il good deal of skepticism in regard to
such a project. 1t has been talked of ever
since tue Great calls electric road was
started, and at first it was supposed the
story had its origin in the fact that the
men who were furnishing the money for
building the electro road and who still
own it had such connections as to make
ii reasonable to suppose they had some
thing else in mind than merely the build
ing of suburban road.
Since that day the story of the Wabash
connection has oeen revived from time
to time and now 1t has come to the front
again with fresh assurances that 1t is
