Notifies Companies That Present
Rates Must stand.

Jefferson City, May 4.-Frank Blake
superintendent Of insurance, gave out
q statement In which he says there Is
an attempt on the part Of some OF
the Are insurance companies to raise
their rates before the new rating law,

companies that the rates must not be
raised over what they were on March
1S, when the new law giving the sup
erintendent supervision over the max.
ing Of FIRE insurance rates, was sign
ed. This he told them, would be con-
strued as hostile act, and would
Justify him in suspending or reyoking
their licenses.
The insurance companies have fled
with the state insurance department

are to be based. but they have so far
refused to file other information In

WITH MAIL roCOH.

The letter pouch that was put
off Union Pacific train No. lVl at
Solomon last Friday morning was
stolen from the depot platform. No
clue to the thief has been found.
No. 101 is due here about o'clock
a. m. and brings in most of the
morning mail from the east, FRI
~ morning the mall clerk put off
three paper sacks and the letter
pouch. As soon as the train had
passed, the night man at the depot,
Mr.. Slime went out to bring in the
mail and when he saw that the let
ter pouch was missing he thought
It had been carried past, and so re-
ported to Postmaster Hopkins. When
the pouch was not returned on No.
1O4 the matter was reported to the
postal authorities in Kansas City,
and Saturday a government detec-
tive named Frazier was here work
ing on the case.
Besides the regular letter mail
the pouch contGined fife registers
but their contents or value are not
known. If ,.e detective got any
trace of the missing pouch or any
clue to the. party who stole 1t, he
is keeping the information to him
self. The pouch has not been found
and as far as the public is concerned
the matter is as much Of mystery
as It was at the art.-lSolcmOn
