A. Smith, NJ. C. Kellogg, DIR. Blanton,
and everybody's friend, Burt Stock

schedule would not start the first
league game at Richmond on Feb

gave the reporter solemn promise

plays this year so that he would know
how it happened without having to
depend on Tut Burnam for the in

Other Suits Involve Point.

The same point will be involved In
other suits to collect insurance where
the property insured was destroyed
by night rider raids.
Under the decision of the court to-
day it would seem that there must be
a raid by body of night riders, where
the town was terrorized and that the
act of a few men, who quietly applied
torch to barn would not come
within the meaning of riot.
This question is yet to be decided by
the court here, and on it viii depend
much insurance.

INSURANCE NOT
COLLECT|BLE
Court of Appeals Decides Suit Grow
ing Out Of Night Rider
Cases.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 11.-No
insurance can be recovered on proper
ty which was destroyed by organ
lied bands of night riders in Ken
lucky, under a decision of the Court
of Appeals, yesterday, which upholds
the so-called riot clause in insurance
policies.
The decisions means that the own
ers of the tobacco stemmeries at
Princeton, which were destroyed by
fire started by band of night riders,
and the owners of the property in
Hopkinsville and Russellville, which
was destroyed by the night riders, can
not recover on their insurance poll
cies, if those policies contain the riot
clause.
The court says that the night riders
who were banded together and ter
rorized the inhabitants of the town of
Princeton, certainly caused riot
within the meaning of the general
acceptance of the term.
Appealed From Caldwell.
The decision was handed down In
an appeal from the caldwell Circuit
Court. The tobacco stemmeries were
burned by night riders at Princeton.
One was owned by the Imperial To-
bacco Company and was insured but
. the policy contained the riot clause
and the five companies which carried
the insurance resisted payment of the
policies on the ground that there was
"a riot In Princeton and the exemp-
ton in that clause applied. 1t was
contended by the tobacco company
that the night rider raid was not a
riot within the meaning of the con-
