RAGAN'S ESCAPE WAS VERY ARTFUL Left Atlanta Dressed as Woman
 in Mourning NEGRO BURNS TO DEATH Miss Mary Minnie Hasson Is Married to MT. J. Ross Green at Anniston.
 It Was an Elegant
 Church Affair.
NEGRO BURNS TO DEATH

Anniston, April Especial )-The mys- tery surrounding the disappearance of former Postmaster Ragan is gradually be- ing lifted, and it is now known definitely how he maneuvered to cover his tracks after leaving Anniston on Friday night, March z9. As to Ragan's present where abouts however, nothing is said if any thing is known.
 It is evident that Ragan planned his flight with much skill, and his determina- tion appears to have been to lead his pur- suers upon as many false trails as pos sible. It is now known definitely that Ragan and a companion were in Birming- ham after the Friday night of his disap- pearance, and it is known that he bought two tickets in Birmingham for Memphis. Ragan went, however, only short dis tance towards Memphis, when he took an- other train back and went to Atlanta.
 Ragan left Atlanta dressed as woman In deep mourning, and his companion, who did the talking necessary to buy tick cts, was also dressed in deep mourning and acted the role of mother. In At ianta tickets were bought to New York, and two alleged women in deep mourning, one of them said to have been Ragan, left Atlanta on an eastbound train. That is as far as traces of Ragan have been verified, so far as can be learned.
 After leaving Atlanta Ragan dropped out of sight completely, and further pur- suit has been in vain.
 By his maneuvers in Birmingham and Atlanta, Ragan so covered his movements and tangled that part of his trail as to confuse his pursuers, and by so doing he gained several days, or time sufficient 70 lose himself completely up to the present.
 Negro Burned to Death.
 About o'clock Tuesday morning Jack Pedigree, an aged colored man, was burned to death at Munford. The old ne- gro was sick and nearly helpless and lived with and was cared for by an old negro woman named Shears.
 It is supposed the old negro igrited his bed clothing with a match. When the

fire was discovered the room in which the old man slept was ablaze all over, and the woman was unable to enter the room on account of the fierce heat. The house was completely destroyed and none of the contents were saved.
 The body of the old negro was entirely consumed, nothing but a few pieces of charred flesh and ashes being distinguish able from the surrounding debris.
 Hasson-Green.
 The first large church wedding of the spring took place Wednesday evening at ' clock, when Miss Mary Minnie Has son and MT. J. Ross Green were united by Dr. J. H. Foster at Parker Memorial Baptist church.
 For the occasion the church was decor ated with stately palms and delicate ferns. The bride entered the church with her matron of honor, Mrs. E. F. First of Gadsden, who wore a gown of cream monseline over taffeta of the same shade with trimmings of lace and ribbon. Inn mediately preceding the bride and matron of honor the four young lady attendants entered in twos. These young ladies were Miss Mary Ida Green, Miss Bessie Hasson, Miss Lula Williams of Lyerly, Ga, and Miss Willmary Vetter of Chat tanooga. They all wore dainty frocks of white net over silk with blue gloves and SnOeS, 1dSnlOHeu SlTuieS Ol Dlut TlDDOl and carried white carnations tied with blue tulle.
 The gentlemen attendants were MT. w. D. Smith, who acted as best man, and Messrs. Jim Orr, Joe Jeffers Griff Sproull and Linder Green groomsmen.
 Miss Hasson was married in her going away gown, which is one of the fetching spring eton models. fashioned from shadow checked voile of London smoke grey over a lining of black and Mbite changeable taffeta. With this was worn a Frenchy little hat of grey combined with many delicate shades. Long grey glasse gloves and grey suede shoes com- pleted the toilette. In her arms Miss Has son carried a mass of white carnations and plumosa.
 Immediately after the ceremonw. Mir. and Mrs. Green left for a short visit to Atlanta and later will go to Jamestown. On their return they will be at home with Mrs. Robert Hasson, on Twelfth street.
 The ut-of-town guests at the wedding were MT. and Mrs. l.. L. Green, Miss Mamie Lou Green, Mr. Horace Green, Dr. Roscoe Meherg, Mrs. E. D. Meherg, MT. and Mrs Norris Woodruff, Miss Mary Martin and Mrs Charles Irwin. Alexan- Harrison, Birmingham; Miss Ola Little, Miss Emma Louise Stroud and Mrs. Ali son, Gadsden; MT. and Mrs. w. R.

Subsidiary Companies.


 to whose stock is proposed to be sold creations of the insurance companies and organized primarily to serve the insur- ance companies. They occupy the most intimate relation to each other. although 1t Is true they possess separate entities and are distinct corporations. having only COZ .ractural relations with the insurance companies
 You will observe, however, that in re- qulring the option or right to purchase stock to be printed in the policy con tract, I have proceeded upon the theory that in each case the insurance com pany and the subsidiary company are so intimately connected that the insurance contract and the stock option must be construed as an entire contract; and therefore, 1t is of obvious importance that the contracts between such companies should be carefully examined by you and the stipulations and agreements closely scrutinzed to prevent such exactions and terms in the contract as would result in palpable deception and unfairness to the clt1zens of this state who contract with them.
 l have found much difficulty in reach n- what I consider a correct construc- ton of section 2602 It's meaning is not altogether free from doubt. It's language is somewhat involved and susceptible of ambiguity: and l would suggest that you recommend to the legislature the adoption oI such amendments or additions to the insurance laws as may seem advisable in your judgment, as the result of your practical experience in dealing with in- surance questions.

GENTLE SPRING.

It is within the range of possibility that q connection may after while be drawn between what some people call Spring fever" (meaning thereby that sensation of nothing wrong in particular, but that all is not just right and that very prevalent malady, dyspepsia. At any rate, physi- clans who have used a prescription com posed of A OF. Fluid Extract of Buchu, l oz. Bulso Mixture, A OF. Fluid Extract Gentian Compound and 15 ozs. water in treating dyspepsia have found that the medicine is not only wonderfully effica- cious in dyspepsia cases. but that 1t is also an admirable Spring tonic." and exactly what many people need at this season of the year.

Must All Be Alike.

50 IildL II the ODllOI1 to purchase luG agency stock is printed in and made part oi every policy of insurance and is given alike to every policyholder, the statute will be complied with. In order that this may be done it Is not sufficient for the agent of the company merely to offer insurance and the agency stock, giving the person to whom the stock is offered the right to decline to make the purchase, but the right or option to purchase must be printed in every pol icy whether previously accepted or re- jected by the policyholder. Any other re- quirement than this would leave the mat ter open to evasion. In addition to the requirement that the option shall be printed in each policy, the stock must be offered for sale to every person upon the same terms both as to number of shares and payment for same and there must be no reduction in the price of stock conditioned on the prospective poli- cyholder taking out a policy
 The question here presented is the sub ject of comment and criticism in many of the documents handed me by MT. Sex ton when I began my investigation, and it seems that many of the insurance com missioners over the country are opposed to similar plans; this, on the general principle that it s violative of public policy to permit Inducements of any na- ture to be offered in connection with life insurance. and, justly so, however, for the reason that the prospective dividends to accrue on the agency stock are very much inflated, impossible of realization and, therefore, deceptive and fraudulent, but this is a matter for the prospective shareholder to settle for himself. He may or may not realize the results claimed by the agency company.
 Life insurance has become a business of such vast and wonderwul proportions a~, Is regarded in the light of such a necessity, that the state has assumed the duty and the right of regulating and con trolling it in order that it's citizens shall be fairly treated by insurance companies. Such was the purpose of the law invest ing you with authority of general super vision over all companies in Alabama. and 1t is your duty, within the scope of your authority, to see that no insurance company adopts any plan of insurance, al .-lough it may be within the letter and form of the statute, which is in effect anG result q violation of it's spirit and intent and thus In violation of public policy ard to the injury of its patrons within the state.

Pays for Right.

The method of selling stock by the in surance companies or their subsidiary or auxiliary companies above referred to, does not involve rebate of premium payable on the policy as the term "re- bate'' is used in subdivision of sec- tion 2602 The most that can be said of the plan in this connection is that the holder of the agency stock is entitled td the dividends earned thereon by the agency company or in the case of the life insurance company, the dividends earned by that company. In each case the holder of the stock pays for the right to participate in such dividends In addi- tion to paying the premium on the life insurance policy
 It only remains to be determined whether or not the option to purchase constitute such holders of stock "class' within the meaning of subdivision 3, of section 2602.
 The word "class' as used in tho statute in my opinion, means simply distinct and separate group or set of insurants who pay uniform premiums proportionate to age or whose policy contracts are sim liar in respect to their essential basic or elemental features. But this dc es not mean that an insurance company can at will constitute "class" by varying the policy contract slightly, or by modifying 1t in some collateral feature. not effecting a change in it's basic or elemental charac- teristics. Hence l hold that there must of necessity be some other distinction in class than the mere enjoyment by one of an option or privilege to purchase stock not enjoyed by another.
 The suggestion that if the contract of one policyholder contains the option and the contract of another policyholder does not contain the option to purchase stock.

INSURANCE IS AFFECTED

Montgomery, April 25.-(Special)-In an opinion rendered by Attorney General Garber today it is held that stock plans of certain life insurance companies about which there is complaint, are admissible [ under the Alabama laws, provided the propositions are fullN stated on the face of the policy and allowed to all alike. The opinion is given Insurance Commits sioner Julian, and is as follows:
 Some days ago you addressed com munication to me, enclosing letter from Messrs Dean & Dean, general counsel for the State Mutual Life Insurance company, Rome, Ga. under date of April g. 1907 in which the plan of this company for the sale of stock in the agency company in connection with the sale of life insurance is explained; and you desire to know whether the plan proposed is in violation of section 26O2 of the code.
 Prior to the receipt of your letter, Hon. A. c. Sexton, deputy insurance commits sioner, addressed a communication to me of date April 3, 1907, requesting me to advise him regarding the plan of the, Rome company, and also regarding the plans of the Southern States Life Insur- ance company, an Alabama corporation, Philadelphia Life Insurance company of Philadelphia, the Citizens Life Insurance company of Louisville, Ky, and the Mer- idan Life and Trust company of Indian apolis, Ind. In connection with his let ter, MT. Sexton handed me a number of letters received from insurance commits sloners of several states, responding to letter of inquiry from him. desiring to know their views on similar ques- tions and l have also received from your department quite a number of letters pamphlets, briefs and miscellaneous pub lications dealing with this question: and briefs for and against the legality of the plans have also been presented to me for my consideration.
