by Decision to Withdraw;
Adverse Legislation.

PITTSBURG, April 24.-The West

nual convention here today, decided to
withdraw from the state Of Missouri
because Of antagonistic legislation
which they assert has been enacted
and which seriously interferes with
their business, Over sixty-two com

The action Of the Western Insurance
bureau follows similar decision
taken recently at Philadelphia by the
Western Insurance union. IT is said

Former Governor H. 9. Hadley OF
Missouri, who happened to be here in
connection with the annual exercises
Of the Carnegie institute, appeared be-
fore the insurance delegates as a rep
resentative of the board Of under
writer's of Kansas City. Mr.. Hadley
urged the insurance companies to send
representatives of Jefferson City to
confer with the Missouri attorney gen
eral and other state officials before any
definite action was taken. Mr. Hadley
said the state Of Missouri, in any
event, would protect its citizens with
insurance If the companies carried out
tneIr plan of Withdrawing absolutely
from business in the state.
At the close of Mr.. Hadley's re,
marks the delegates voted to refer the
question to the Missouri commit
tee, From what can be learned here
the action of the delegates practically
sidetracked the recommendation of
Mr., Hadley.
The meeting was secret. AT its
conclusion Judge Thomas Bates OF Chi.

panies. made a brief announcement
that the companies had decided to
withdraw from Missouri.

make one Of the best towns in

that Basile has several large
