School Baseball League.

A special from Baton Rouge
says that plan is on foot for the
organization os the different high
schools of the state into a base
ball league and oratorical asso-
citation for the playing of baseball
games and the holding of orator
ical contests during the spring.
The plans for this league and
association are being made among
the teachers who are attending
the session of the State Normal
School, at Louisiana State Uni
versity. These teachers who are
in attendance upon this normal
are from the different high
schools, and it is believed that
the plan that is to be worked out
for next session will do much to
encourage athletics and oratory
among the public high schools
of the state.
The league, if organized, will
be composed of teams from
Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Mon
roe, Alexandriu, Lake Charles
and possibly other places, and
various games will be played
during the season. The meets of
the teams of the different schools
will not be confined to athletics,
but declamations and orations by
the high schools will also be
made feature.
Why not include Winfield in
this leagueY The Winfield High
School has a good team and some
good orators.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
Will Withdraw from the State of
Texas July III, 1907.

Dallas, Tex, June 17.-Follow.
ing a conference at New York
between the directors of nonresi.
dent life insurance companies,
Maurice f. Locke. attorney for
most of the big nonresident COM
panies. today announces definitely
that all of the larger companies
will withdraw from Texas July IL,
and will not continue to do busi-
ness in this state. Some of them
have already transferred their
records to points outside the state
and have removed their Office
fixtures.
The cause of this action is the
inability of the companies to COM
ply with what is known as the
Robertson law, passed at the last
session of the Texas Legislature.
aud which will 60 into effect July
IL. This bill requires that COM
panies doing business in Texas
shall deposit IS per cent of the
receipts on reserves in Texas
premiums in state repositories,
to be designated by the state.
The deposit will be subject to the
state, county and city taxes,
amounting to about $2.70 per
$1,000. They will be required 70
pay in addition a tax of one per
cent on the gross premiums col
lected. A late ruling of the
attorney general makes this ruling
apply to loans existing on policies.
IF there Is no loan on the policy
then the taxation would apply on
the securities deposited to secure
the reserve.
1t is stated that most of the
companies declare they will not
permit the present policies to be
affected in any way. Premiums
will be payable at the home Office
of the company. The effect of
this withdrawal from the state
may mean q financial contraction
and an enormous loss to Texas.
There were over 30 foreign COM
panles with permits 10 do business

of these companies are not inves-
tors directly. their funds are so
invested as to foster enterprises
which make the state great.

VALUABLE LANDS
TO Be RESTORED
Hartman Corporations Brought to
Time by Efforts Of Interstate COM
merce mmission-Govern.
ment Wins Point
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated tTeSB,
CHICAGO, April A dispatch to
the Record Herald from Washington
says:
1t was learned last night that the
Hartman corporations, whose rafnif-
cations extend to coal lands and other
vast interests in the far west, are Of
fering to restore to the government
properties they have heretofore claimed
as theirs by good and ample title. They
prefer to do this rather than be prose-
cuted.
Coal lands worth in the aggregate
millions OF dollars are to be restored to
the public domain as q result of recent
activity of the interstate commerce
commission. The commission several
months ago set about to investigate the
land frauds in Wyoming, Colorado and
| Utah.
AS a result of it's Investigations the
department of justice was given tran
Salt Lake, Denver and Pueblo by inter-
scripts of testimony taken at Omaha,
state Commerce Commissioners Prouty
and Clark and was directed by the
president to prosecute in any cases
where there was ground for prosecu-
tion.
At the first suggestion of prosecu-
tion, however. the Union Pacific Coal
company has capltulated. 1t has made
a proposition to the government that
1t Will return a large area of Wyoming
lands to which it admits it's title was
worthless The government law officers
are considering this proposition and
while final action has not been taken.
It was learned yesterday on the author
ity of men who have been conducting
the investigation that 1t will probably
be accepted and the lands returned to
the public domain.
1t is understood on high government
authority that the officers of the de-
partment of justice will give tho Utah
Fuel company and the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company chance to return
the lands i'm the same manner and that
if they refuse prosecutions will be com
menced at once.
