LAW
OF ALA. is VALID
r PREVENTS AGREEMENTS AND
COMBINATIONS TO FIX RATES
SUPREME COURT SAYS 1T is
CONSTITUTIONAL.

Washington, Jan. 16.--The law of
Alabama, passed in 1897 to prevent
agreements and combinations between
insurance companies for the purpose
of fixing rates of fire insurance, was
held to be constitutional today by the
supreme court Of the United States.
The act provided that every policy
of fire insurance should be inter
preted, in event of loss hereunder, TO
include twenty-five per cent penalty
if the insurance company either at
the time the policy was issued or be-
fore the time of trial. was member
of tariff association for fixing the
rate of insurance.
The question of invalidity of the
law arose in a suit OF Foster X. Hale,
Jr., against the German Alliance H.
'surance Company of New York, to re-
cover $4,000 insurance for the loss by
fire of lumber at Byrne's Mill Pond.
Baldwin county, Ala, and for $1,000
penalty under the act of 1897. 1t was
claimed that the insurance compaLy
was member of the southeastern
tariff association, which fixed rates
for insurance.
The federal court of Alabama up-
held the constitutionality of the law
and awarded a judgment in favor o.
Hale. From this Judgment an appeal
was taken TO the supreme court.
which today affirmed that holding.

later when Beveridge presented his

conclusions reached by the committee
on privileges and elections he also
appended similar resolution Before
either Mr.. Owen or Mr.. Beveridge
could get into action Lorimer obtained
the floor and declared that his election

BY Associated Press,

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 16.-The
struggle for the senatorship assumed
a new aspect this afternoon, when the
announcement of G. =. Fitzhugh he
came known. Fitzhugh had been the

Democrats, as one who most ardent,

over the Independent Democratic con-
vention which endorsed Hooper for
governor and afterwards made cam
paign speeches for Hooper.
The withdrawal caused Frazier to
redouble his efforts to secure the Fitz-
hugh vote and his managers insist
that if the Fitzhugh Democrats aid
Republicans come over to him he will
win on tomorrow's ballot. 1t is said
here tonight, however, that the Re.
publicans will vote for NOVEL; San
ders, chairman of the Republican
state committee, or Hal Haynes,
chancellor of the first division. "
The regulars, outside of five who
are voting for Frazier, will present a
solid line for McMillin tomorrow.
