The motion Of the attorneys to eX-

Makes Final Argument Today.

Before a crowd of interested listeners
Douglas made his final argument today.
He began his argument last night and
adjourned at 10 O'Clock until this morning
at $50 O'Clock. His eloquent appeal for
fairness and his interesting narrative Of
the established facts in the iong-drawn
insurance controversy held the attention
Of the crowded witness room for hours.
Mr.. Douglas dwelt at special length today
on the motives which he claims actuated
the men who were responsible for the
bringing of charges against the insurance
companies.
Mr.. Douglas declared that there is abb
solutely nothing to show that Supt. Ing
hams record and conduct is anything but
correct and that the appraisers appointed
by Ingham to work up the Southern
building appraisal were by no means ap-
pointed by the insurance companies.
He argued that the appraisers. Messrs
Darneille. Hensey and Lipscomb, had
made a correct appraisement and that
they are above suspicion. He also said
that eleven men, competent judges of real
estate. have testified uphoIding the ap-
praisers and that only four testified
against it.

These companies have been through
the fiery furnace and have come through
without the smell of fire. Are you going

Mr.. Douglas paid warm tribute in
most eloquent and appealing words to
Robert Wynne, president Of the First Ma
tional Fire Insurance Company, to Justice
Gould, r. y. Harper. Charles F. Carusi
and Robert Tuttie. He also said that i
dividends had been paid from premium
