NOT AFFECTED By RULING.
Underwriters Notify Agencies Of laur.
ium To That Effect

OHusTWTltc's 'NoNI( H0enSlcS on Lauf o
ium To That Effect.
That they are not affected by the
recent ruling Il Commissioner John r.
Winship relative to resident
agents, non resident brokers and an
derwriters' agencies is the statement
of underwriters companies represent
ed by local agencies. The companies
assert that their operations are car
ried on through resident agents.
The prohibition of the operations Of
the non resident brokers is somewhat
overshadOwed by the effect on the nm
derwriters' agencies, but this solution
of the broker issue is causing Joy
among the agents of the state. They
nave suffered from the raids of the
outsiders for years.
The inroads of residents agents
and brokers and Of unlicensed COM
panies became so great that in 1911
two acts We're passed by the Michigan
legislature one making void the poll
cics of unauthorized companies IN
property i'm the state, and the Other Il
rather involved statute forbiddut uu-
thOrized companies to write Insurance
in the state of Michigan, in or through
any such legally authorized company
outside Of the state of Michigan OK
Cept through a duly licensed agent in
the state. The ruling of Commissions
CT Winship follows:
Acting upon the opinion of the at
torney general, the department here
fore holds that it is contrary IL the law
of the state of Michigan for nln-
resident agent to procure or place or
do anything in connection with the
procuring or placing of insurance upon
property or risks within this state.
and that all companies will bc held re-
sponsible for any violation of tbs law.
Because the laws OF Michigan ln
not recognize the broker except as the
agent of the company, and undcrwrit-
ers agencies being nothing more or
less than general agencies of the COM
panies. this ruling applies equally as
well To resident brokers and un-
derwritcrs' agencies, as to the indi-
vidual nonresident agent"

"DAMON-PYTHIAS"
is AGAIN PLYED
TO PACKED HOUSE

The second production Of Damon
and Pythias" at the Holt opera
house, Friday evening, was conceded
to be even better than the first, both
in point of attendance and in genius
displayed. The house was crowded
and every one satisfied. The troupe
will journey to Calexico this evening,
where the last performance will be
given at the Princess theatre.
On account of the construction of
the Princess, the production will not
be enhanced by the entire set OF
scenery. Most Of the important
scenes can be reproduced at the Ca
lexico theatre.
The play of damon and Pythias'
was given under the auspices of El
Centre lodge No. 315, with the fol-
lowing officers: John Norton, chan
cellor commander; Dan V. Noland
vice chancellor; Roy Bishop, master
of works; Herbert L. Iasigi, prelate;
H. B. Webb, master of arms; Frank
Erzinger, keeper of records and
seals; L. w. Martyr. master of the
exechquer: Ira Hobby, master of
finance; T. M. Gill, inner guard;
George holland, outer guard.
The production staff connected with
the play damon and Pythias" con-
sisted of the following: Business man.
ager, Ira Hobby; director, ]. Stanley
Brown; pres sagents, H. B. Webb and
F. K. Brown; master mechanic,
George Noland, and scenic artist, R.
E. Lee.
The cast of characters was as fol-
lows: Dionysius, Marvin Moore; Pro-
cles. H. B. Webb; Philistius, Harry
w. Krotz; Damocles. j. A. Robinson
Damon, !. Stanley Brown; Lucullus,
Herbert L. Iasigi; Pythias. Floyd X.
Brown; Calanthe, Miss Velma Kirk
patrick; Hermion, Miss Agnes Atkin-
son. Servants and soldiers were made
up by leading knights of the order.
Senators-F. S. Wing, C. f.
Sprouse, ]. L. House, G. A. Ragan, j.
Harrison, E. w. Burger and George
Dixon.
Twenty-six handsome robes for Sc
cret work in the lodge had been pur-
chased by the local order and it was
deemed feasible to give some sort OF
an entertainment to help out finan-
cially. Several different schemes wera
proposed, finally the happy solution
of the problem coming with the idea
of Damon and Pythias" play.
About $500 was realized on the
two productions in Ell Centre. The
play as given this evening at Calex-
leo will be entirely for the benefit of
that lodge. The Calexico lodge was
recently organized and to demon
strate the spirit of fraternalism and
the principles of the order the Ell Cen
tro lodge unhesitatingly decided to
aid their brothers on the border.

poloists who have been practicing all
winter at Madrid, Spain, will make a
start for America by May l. AS was
the case last year the ponies will
travel trifle ahead of the men and
are expected at Piping Rock by
