MAY SETTLE TROUBLE.
Fire Insurance Companies in Missouri
May Resume Business.

jefferson City, May S.-Former
Governor Folk said after a conference
today that he thought the controversy
between the fire insurance companies
and the state would be adjusted within
a few days and that all foreign COM
panieS that have suspended business
in Missouri would resume writing in
surance in this state.
Attorneys for the fire insurance
companies that have ceased writing
business in this state on account of
the antitrust insurance law, today
filed in the supreme court dem
to the quo warranto proceedings insti-
tuted by Attorney General Barker. The
attorneys for the companies claim the
information filed by the attorney gem
era1 does not set forth cause of ac-
ton.
They ask that the court dismiss the
temporary order issued April % re-
straining the companies from cancel
ling existing policies for, the reason
that all the policies contain clauses
permitting either company or a policy
holder to cancel the insurance, but no
way exists by which the companies can
The case will be set for hearing in a
few days.
The attorney general in his suit
asked that the companies be restrained
from conspiring to leave the state. The
court in it's order of April % did not
restrain the companies from leaving
the state but cited them to snow cause
why they should not so be restrained.
The demurrer filed today alleging no
cause of action is the answer to that
citation.

SAY IT IS POLITICS
BRYAN BACK HOME. SA
Republicans View Wilson Post
office Order With Alarm.
Senators Will Make Close
Study of New System.

Washington, May 8.-Republican sem
ators today began to look into Post
master General Burleson's plan to re-
quire $4,000 fourth class postmasters
to pass competitive examination or lose
the job. Some of the senators who
have looked into Mr.. Burlesons plan
and have read President Wilson's exc
tive order requiring such examination
are not certain that persons already
in the service can be made to stand a
competitive test to retain the positions
they now hold.
Wholesale opposition of persons who
may be chosen in such examination to
succeed those now in office will prob
ably not be resorted to but the Repub-
licans will endeavor to convince the
country that the order is entirely
political. The $4,000 postma sters in
question were placed in the civil service
by action of former presidents, Roose-
welt and Taft

White House today a statement that
President Wilson himself had request
ed Mr.. Mitchell to take the office 1t

SEIZE Beer IN K. C,
Chief Gordon on Kansas Side
Obeys Webb Law.
All Brewery Wagon Drivers
Placed Under Arrest.

Kansas City, May 8.-FoIlowing an
order from Chief of Police Gordon, of
Kansas City, Kansas, that every
brewery wagon driver found on the
streets of that city be arrested and his
goods confiscated as a test case under
the Webb law five drivers had been
taken into custody up to neon today
and 1875 cases and several kegs of beer
confiscated
The Webb law forbids the shipment
of liquor into dry states. Chief Cor
don said he hoped through his order
to make the shippers of the beer tell
where it is going and. thus to unearth
any blind tigers that may exist in
the city. The drivers were released
on bond but the goods, constituting
the largest liquor seizure ever made
in the city were held.
LAS I understand the law" Chief Cor
don said in explanation of the arrests,
1T empowers the local authorities to
compel shippers of liquor to show
where it is going. We expect by ar
resting the drivers and making them
show their written orders to find the
blind tigers that are carrying on the
traffic, unlawfully.'
A beer driver was arrested on the
streets the other day and the police
found in his order book a number of
dummy orders that had evidently been
made to correspond with the mum Der
of cases on his wagon. The incident
determined the chief to make general
arrests of beer drivers and check up
the addresses found in their order
books.
1.-The burden of proof of the legiti-
mate destination of the beer brought
over here in wagons is on the brew
ers. Now we are going to make them
show that they are not violating the
Webb law"
A gang of TRUSTEES was taken out
of the Jail this morning and put to
work unloading the beer from the
wagons brought in by patrolmen. The
men formed a continuous procession
all the morning carrying beer cases
from the wagons to a cellar in the Jail
building where they are being stored.
A big crowd was gathered about police
headquarters all day watching the
beer wagons being Brought in and the

AIR CORPS BLAMED.
French, British and Americans in
Mexican Aviation Mixup.

Los Angeles, May Slight men in
Guiding several American aviation en-
thusiastS are involved in the alleged
plan to furnish insurgent Mexicans
with an aeroplane corps which result
ed yesterday in the arrest of Dido
Mason and his machinist, Thomas
Dean, at Tucson, on charges of viola
ton of the neutrality laws
This was the statement today of
Dudley w. Robinson, assistant United
States attorney, who ordered the ar
rest of the French aviator and Dean,
a British subject.
According to Robinson and Mexican
Consul Pima y Guevas, the plans of the
rebel agents have been known to the
federal authorities here ever since they
opened negotiations to purchase flying
machines for use in the war against
Huerta. The rebel agents, including
several Americans laid their plans in
Pasadena it was stated and had offer
ed $4,000 for the services of an avia-
tor and an aeroplane for three months
in Sonora. Robinson decided there was
no complaint or suspicion against Glenn
Martin the aviator, who sold the ma
chine which was captured by United
State deputy marshals 80 miles south
of Tucson He said, however, that more
arrests might be expected today.

A NARROW ESCAPE
Phil Billiards. Biplane Engine
Stopped in Midair.
He VOlplaned 800 Feet to
GrOund-Machine Wrecked.

Phil Billiard the Topeka aviator,
who dropped 800 feet last night in a
veritable dip of death, made his usual
rounds today and pluckily declared he
intended taking another flight as soon
as his engine is repaired. He felt a
bit sore today, but his enthusiasm Tor

accident Mr.. Billiard was about to
land at the Highland Park hangar last
evening when his engine stopped and
the biplane air craft was volplaned 800
feet and hurled the aviator to the
ground.

from below, but not much from above
If I'd slid into one, 1 wouldn't be talk

Mr.. Billiard glided to the ground
with a rapidity that almost sucked the
breath from his body. A gust of wind
struck the machine before the land
force which splintered the gear and
wrecked the engine. The planes were
not injured as the birdman had them
under control until a few feet from
the ground. Repairs will total sew

Mr. Billiard has been making sue
cessfuI flights for more than a year.
He learned to operate an aeroplane
from A. K. Longren, who built his ma

five minutes last night before the ac-

flights were astonished at his an

Was Buried Without Attendance.

Washington, May S.-For the first time
IN the history of congress, so far as cap

congress is being buried today without

probable passage of the tariff bill kept
them in Washington.
President Wilson, it is said, told them
that Martin, if alive, would have coun-
selled them to remain in Washington and
vote for the Underwood bill.
