GET SPOONER'S ADVICE.
Insurance Companies Which Have With
drawn May Refuse to File Re-
ports at Madison.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July Is, 1908
That the foreign insurance companies
which have withdrawn from the state
are not subject to the regulatory legisla-
ton passed by the last Legislature, is
the opinion of former United States Sen
ator John G. Spooner, incorporated in q
lengthy brief prepared at the request of
the Mutual Lie Insurance company of
New York.
The former senator characterizes the
attempt of Insurance Commissioner
Beedle to require the companies which
are not doing business in the state, but
which have policy holders here, to file
the reports with the insurance commits
sioner, as an assertion of legislative jul
risdiction which cannot safely be sub
mitted to until the courts of last resort
shall have upheld it.
Acting on this opinion it is probable
that the thirty-three companies which
left the state December 81, 1907, will
contest the forfeiture imposed by the
law for failure to file the reports called
for by the statutes, and will dispute the
Jurisdiction of the Wisconsin Legislature.
Mr.. Spooner holds that the Legislature
has no constitutional power to regulate
the conduct of companies which no long
er are doing business in the state and
that section 1854, providing cumulative
penalties at the rate of $500 month for
failure to file the reports, cannot be held
to apply to them. The brief is COM
prehensiye and exhaustive summary of
the situation and it is believed that the
companies will act on the former sena-
tors advice.

ARE HOMEWARD BOUND
Nineteen of the South Sea islanders,
Captured by Capt. Blackburn, Re-
turned by British Government.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July IT,
Nineteen survivors of the. several hun
dred South Sea islanders, kidnapped
eighteen years ago from their native
strand and sold into slavery among the
coffee plantations of Guatemala, arrived
yesterday on the steamship City of Para.
They are free and homeward bound, and
in addition are travelling as tourists with
the British government paying expenses.
The natives were kidnapped by Capt
Blackburn, who visited the islands in his
steamer, the Monserrat, and enticing
them aboard, sailed away. They were
supposed to be contract laborers, bound
to their Guatemalan employers for three
years. Ignorant of the language, and
in land where the law is sometimes
the dictators' will, it was easy to keep
them on the plantations, where they
shaved until their plight was made known
to the British government. This, how
ever, was not until eighteen years had
passed and most of the natives had died
Those returning have little to show for
their years of toll.
Capt. Blackburn was lost at sea in
December, 1894, when the Monserrat
went down with all hands. The island
ers have been taken in charge by the
British consul here who has arranged
transportation for them On the steamship
City of Pueblo, which sails today for
Vancouver. There are several babies in
the party and all showed signs of illness
resulting from their long sea voyage.

RYAN GUSTS BELMONT.
Wrests Control of Big New York Trac-
ton System and Closes Out
His Old Foes.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Thomas F.
Ryan has wrested control of the Inter
borough Metropolitan company from
August Belmont and is now proceeding
to eradicate any Belmont influence which
may still hover around the management
of the corporation. Edward p. Bryan, a
Belmont follower, is no longer president
of the Interborough Rapid Transit COM
pany, which, with the Metropolitan,
makes up the big merger over which Mr..
Shonts presides. Before sailing for
Europe a few weeks ago Mr.. Bryan re-
ceived from President Shonts a check
for $4,000, a years salary in advance,
and was informed that after July l his
services would not be needed. His posi-
ton probably will be abandoned.
Wall street says Ryan has been ably
assisted in bringing about this ellrnna-
ton of Belmont by Paul Morton, who
is paid $4,000 year to run the Equit-
able Life Assurance society.
