New Court Rules.

Jefferson City.-Three new rules
adopted by the Missouri supreme
court, to take effect Immediately, were
made public by j.. D. Allen, clerk of
the court.
The most important of the three
new rules is aimed at the practice of
lawyers rushing to the supreme court
for original writs when there is rem
edy in the lower courts. This rule is
as follows:
mo original remedial writ, except
habeas corpus, will be issued by this
court in any case wherein adequate re-
lief Ear be afforded by an appeal or
writ Of error, or by application for
such writ to a court having in that be-
half concurrent jurisdiction"
The other two rules bear in a gen.
eral way on the same matter. The
first reads:
mo oral arguments will be granted
by this court on applications for orig
inal remedial writs; and before such
writs shall issue the applicant there
for shall give not less than five days
notice thereof to the adverse party or
his attorney"
The second deals with writs of Ger.
tiorari, and is as follows:
mo writ of certiorari shall be grant.
ed to quash the judgment Of a court
of appeals, on the ground that such
court has failed or refused to follow
the last controlling decision of the SUI
Dreme court"

MISSOURIREVENUE

PAY S7s2s21, A NICE INCREASE
OVER LAST YEAR.
FIRE RATES SHOW DECREASE
County Mutual Companies Do a Large
Business, as Shown BY Policies
Amounting to st7s,ooo,ooo
in Force.

Jefferson City.-The total revenues
collected from insurance companies
operating in Missouri during the year
1913 aggregated $780, 21.58, an in
crease of approximately $4,000 over
the year 1912.
OF this total, sos, 668.30 was de-
rived from premium taxes levied by
the state insurance department, and
$87,153.28 from licenses to agents and
miscellaneous fees. The premium
taxes upon fire insurance shows a de-
crease of $S,415.96, which is attributed
to the suspension of business last sum-
mer by foreign stock companies and
the growth of business by interinsur-
ance companies, the latter paying no
taxes upon premiums to the state.
That county mutual insurance COM
panies of Missouri do a large business
is indicated by figures showing these
companies have policies in force
amounting to $173, 095, 1923.
Losses ~aggregating $416,011.61 were
paid in 1918. This was equal to $2.56
upon each $1,000 worth Of property.
The average cost of insurance in the
mutuals per 500 is 80 cents, including
operating expenses.

SLAYER or TEACHER DEFIANT
Defense Starts Investigation to Prove
Jean Gianini Had Help in Killing
Miss Ida Beecher.

Utica, N. Y.-Jean Gianini, in.
dicted on the charge of murder in
the first degree in having killed his
former school teacher, Miss Ida
Beecher, was absolutely Indifferent
when arraigned.
The boys parents and the lawyers
engaged to defend him advanced the
theory that the youth had an accom-
plice. John F. Mcintyre, chief coun-
sci, has ordered a private inyestiga-
tion of the killing.
The defense contends that, despite
circumstantial evidence, the attitude
of young Gianini in itself is sufficient
to indicate that he had an accomplice.
The youth steadfastly refuses to say
that he had assistance in the murder,
but to the question: Did any one help
your" his reply is II won't snitch."
