Revelle Ready for Custer.

Jefferson City.-Insurance Superin-
tendent Revelle is preparing his cita-
tion to the foreign fire insurance CON-
panies to show cause why their IL
censes should not be revoked upon
the ground of nonuse. 1t was report
ed here that attorneys for the COM
panles may go into the federal court
and apply for an Injunction to restrain
Revelle from carrying out his threat
TO revoke their licenses unless they
resume business. This proceeding, II
brought, probably would be bottomed
on the contention that their tempo
rary suspension of business does not
constitute just grounds for revocation
for nonuse.
Revelles plan to cite the companies
while Attorney General Barker's quo
warranto and injunctive proceedings
are pending in the supreme court to
compel the companies TO write insur-
aDce and to fine them for conspiring
to quit Is another evidence of the
lack of harmony between these two
officials. II is said the attorney-gen-
erals department regards Revelle's
plan to cite the companies before the
supreme court had disposed OF the
quo warranto proceedings as an act
of considerable improperly, to say
| the least.
