New Perkins Case Factor.

Topeka, Kansas.-C. w. Barnes,
superintendent of insurance, has been
asked to investigate the circumstances
attending the death of L. H. Perkins
in Lawrence, with view to taking
action against the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company of New York for failure
to make payment of the policies it
had written on Perkins life. Mr..
Barnes probably will investigate the
case, but there is little probability
that he will take action so long as
the suit now pending is undecided in
the federal courts.

NEBRASKA LAW IS VALID
Judge Munger Refused to Grant Ex-

He Holds the Act Reducing Express

Has Decided to Compromise.

Omaha, Nebraska-Judge w. H
Munger, in the federal court Friday
handed down a decision holding that
the Sibley law, passed by the last leg
islature providing for reduction of %
per cent in express rates is constitu-
tional and denying the application of
the express companies for temper
airy injunction restraining the Nebras-
ka railway commission from enforcing
the law. The court holds that the ex-
press companies have made no show
ing that the commission has done
anything to impair the rights of the
companies, pending an action filed in
the state supreme court and are there
fore not entitled to an order restrain
ing the commission from enforcing the
law. He says the express companies
will have opportunity to make its
showing before the supreme court, but
gives the companies leave to again
apply for such an order should condi-
lions change.
The decision is confirmation of the
refusal of the court to issue the in
junction prayed for last week.

way commission has decided to

ed Is per cent cut, holding that any
thing greater than this will be confis-
catory. On their part the railway com
missioners propose to make Is per
cent the minimum reduction and 20
per cent the maximum. Speaking for
the members, Commissioner Williams
said Friday:
I'VE hope to establish a schedule
which will be accepted by the express
companies and at the same time give
their patrons the benefit of 25 per
cent decrease on the important items
