NO REBATES
 OF PREMIUMS Insurance Company's Policies Inside Law. DECREE OF JUDGE A. D. sAYRE Guarantee Life Wins in Injunction
 Suit Against State. Render. Null Action of cOmmls.loner Julian In Revokins Company. License--Iniunction Renaius
 In Effect.

For q second time the Alabama De- partmet of Insurance failed in the City Court of Montgomery to get judicial approval of its action in ruling out ,cer- tain life insurance contracts that were alleged to be violations of the so-called anti-rebate laws of this State. Judge A. D. Sayre rendered a decree in equity yesterday .overruling the demurrer of the State Commissioner of Insurance Frank N Julian in the. case of the Guarantee Life Insurance Company. of Houston, Tex. and denying the motion of the same officer to dissolve the in- Junction recently secured in that court by the company
 The decree does not destroy the law which attempts to prohibit the opera tiop.sof companies offering rebates of premiums fin the State. It is simply held that the law does not touch the case In question. 1t is inferred that no law is in the Code of Alabama which could prohibit the sale of such contracts ot insurance as are offered by the foreign life inslranes company.
 The decree states t1akE the court is safnable to locate tie sfattte which &he contract in questiosa violates or the law which authorizes the Insurance sccmmissionpr to revoke the complain ant scompany.s- license i6n the grounds assignedsr 3ne s6oss 1gs
 , Tne- injunctloil procured by the Guar antee Life was to prevent the Commits sioner from interfering with it's bus mess in the State. It followed a can cellation of the company's license by the Department of Insurance several weeks ago. It was the allegation of the Commissioner that the company was selling polices which carried with them a discrimination against the hold CTS of other policies in the same com pany and therefore was in violation of the Code of Alabama.
 It seems that the coHpany's counsel admitted the. inducennent feature of their policy but added that it appeared in all contracts and waS offered to all
 aThs contract may not De what it ought th be. 2, tho decree says "but the etaliste does not enable the Commission- er to interfere with the contracts of in- sufance companies when fully expressed in the face of policies unless they offer as irfducement some rebate of premiums payable or some advantage in dividends to particular policy holders of the same class. And the statute which confers Summary and extraordinary powers up- on the Commissioner may not De stretched beyond its letter to reach the case of q policy which for other req sons may not reach his approval"
 The decree was along similar iinea to that rendered some time ago when 1t was attempted to oust company from the state. The State did not then ap- peal the case. but it is almost sure that this case will be taken to the Supreme Court.

New York, Dec. 14.--With the start of the Hains trial at Flushing L. l.. today. a campaign for a "cleaner press'' has been inaugurated in New York with the hope of inducing newspapers to eliminate from their columns any. thing that might be suggestive or of- fensive.
 The move has been started by an open letter of three prominent men who declare that they have the support of Archbishop Farley. Bishop Greer. Jacob H. Schiff, the banker and hnan- cier; Robert W. Deforest and others. The cooperation of the public Is in- vited and while there is no desire. It is said. to censor" the news, 1t is be- lived that a campaign along proper lines will be effective.
 ghe letter Is signed By Mornay Will ltams manager of the Evangelical All liance of the United States; Edward R. Finch a writer. lecturer and club man. and Charles R. McKenna. The letter, after deploring the publication of "Iibidinous details of criminality" with Special reference to the Thaw case, says;
