The Florida Life Insurance Com
pany could not stand investigation,
and has been declared insolvent, after
an investigation by the state insur-
ance commission. There is deficit
of 100000 in its reserve fund. It's
affairs are now being handled by
President ]. J. Heard of the Heard
National Bank. Causes for the in
solvency are attributed to undue au-
thority said to have been exercised
by M. ID. Johnson, former president,
and o. S. Allbritton, former treasurer
of the company. Both are charged
with having made heavy loans to for
mer officers and their relatives; the
discounting of certain certificates
supposedly to obtain ready cash, max
ing excess loans over and above the
market value of the collateral accept
ed and other financial operations au-
thorized between the Florida Life In
surance Company and the Model
Farms Company, of which a brother
of former President Johnson was the
head. The Florida Life Insurance
Company was considered a home in
stitution, and was consequently large
ly patronized by the people of the
state. A number of Ocala people are
among the victims. 1t looks like the
men who mismanaged it have been
guilty of criminal carelessness, and
if so they should be severely punish
ed. The incident moves the Star to
inquire, of what use is the state in
surance commission if it can't find out
that company is in bad shape unit
it is insolvent?

Recent developments have given
reason for the belief that the death
of Adam Boggs and his daughter at
Cocoanut Grove, near Miami, last No
vember, was murder, committed by a
white man named James A. Butler,
who has since left Miami for parts
unknown. The officers of the law
have description of him, however,
and are searching the country to find
him.

ever, Dunn was satisfied with the
showing of his team against the Tar

The new lineup of the Richmond

virginians. and they played excellent
ball. Jarman, who was first on the
mound for Richmond. began to CULVER

Morrisette, who finished the game.
Richmond hit the ball hard
