INSURANCE SUIT
Will TEST Law
Laskey Will File Fist One
Under Sherman Anti
trust Statute.
" STILES COMPETITION :"
Fire Underwriters of District Said to
Have Raised Rates so Per Cent,
Though Some Are Lowered.

The first suit under the newIy-enactet
section OF the Sherman antitrust law
by which the power OF instituting injunc'
ton proceedings to put an end to mo-
nopolies was placed in the hands OF every
citizen, probably will be filed today
against the Fire Underwriters Associa.
ton of the District.
The suit will follow the report that the
activities Of the underwriters association
have been under investigation by District
Attorney Laskey.
The contention on which the suit will
be brought is that the association l.
made up not of the agents of Washington,
but of the fire insurance companies
and that the organization has throt-
tied competition in the District
Base rates" for the different streets
and districts are set by the associa-
tion. 1t is claimed that when 1t is
found that, because of additional risks
increases have to be charged in GER
tain cases, notification of these in
creases is sent to all the agents on
cards that are sent out every morning
from the ONCE of the association.
It is further claimed that the agents
have been obliged to buy fling cases in
which to keep the card index system
showing the enforced increases in rate.
The association was formed in October
and early in December a revision of the
Insurance rates in Washington was start
ed. Some Of the rates were Increased
and some decreased. but It is claimed by
complainants that an increase of almost
20 per cent was made in most cases
The revision Is still in progress, and It
Is said that the cards indicating the fiuc-
tuations OF rate that must be charged
are sent out by boy every morning.
The injunction suit VIII be filed In the
equity side Of the District Supreme Court
and on appeal will go directly to the
United states Supreme Court.
District Attorney Laskey last night de-
ciined to discuss In any way at this time
the report that the activity of the Under
writer's Association is under investiga-
tion or any action that might arise from
such an investigation.

PROTESILAUS VIOLATED
WIRELESS INSTRUCTIONS
Naval Radio Officer at Panama Canal
Says Apparatus Was Removed
from British Steamer.

Lieut.. CrenshGw, naval radio Officer of
the Panama Canal. cabled Secretary Dan
iels yesterday that the ship whose radio
apparatus was dismantled on December 10
for violation Of the neutrality rules of
the canal was the British steamer Pro-
tesilaus, in Balboa Harbor. The dis
mantling OF the apparatus was done by
Canal Zone police, under orders from
Lieut.. Crenshaw, after 1t was found that
the Protesilaus was communicating by
wireless in code, contrary to the rules
Of the canal
1t Is believed that the case reported
to the British Embassy by the British
Minister at Panama, must have concern
ed some ship other than the Protesilaus
OF this other case II was reported from
Panama that the canal authorities had
withdrawn the charge that she had vio-
lated the rules regarding the use Of
radio apparatus after It was found that
she had no such apparatus on board.

Practical Prescription ......
Against Stomach Acidity

Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid. In the beginning the
stomach itself is not diseased but II
this acid condition is allowed to con.
tinue the acid is very likely to eat
into the. stomach walls and produce
stomach ulcers which may render a
radical surgical operation necessary
even to prolong life. Therefore, an
"acid stomach" is really a dangerous
condition and should be treated seri.
ously. 1t Is utterly useless to take
pepsin and ordinary stomach tablets.
The excess acid or stomach hypera-
cidity must be reutralized by the ad.
mfnistration of an efficient antacid.
For this purpose the best remedy is
bisurated magnesia taken in teaspoon.
full doses in a fourth of glass of wa.
ter after each meal Larger quaint.
ties may be used if necessary as It
Is absolutely harmless. Be sure to
ask your druggist for the bisurated
magnesia as other forms of magnesia
make effective mouth washes but they
have not the same action on the stom-
ach as the bisurated. For sale by
