SAYS SUIT A FAKE
Home Mutual in Good Standing,
Its Officers State.
Brand Action in Federal Court
as Slap at DOlley.

That the Home Mutual Insurance
company is in good financial condition
and a suit in the federal court to test
its solvency a fake, was the declara-
ton today of the company's officers:
Suit alleging the company to be IN
solvent was filed in the federal court
by ]. E. Edgerton, an insurance agent.
Fred S jackson, member OF the
company's board, and attorney Tor the
company, today made the following
statement concerning the suit ana the
standing of the company
THE directors of our company are
not worried about the suit which has
been brought against it; indeed, they
a fake suit has been brought the par
ties interested rush into the neWspa-
pers for the sake of publicity. This
insurance agent, Edgerton, is not a
his own claim, never would be entitled
to receive anything more than one
fifth of one per cent of certain pre-
n1iums which could not amount to
more than S65 or 500 a year.
1.-The high standing of the men who
are connected with this company fur
nishes sufficient guarantees that the
company is sound and Its business
methods and management honest and
correct.
1--WE understand that the pretended
contract has been submitted to several
reputable attorneys in Kansas and it
cannot understand why Mr.. Quinton
should bring such a suit unless 1T is
because of his bad feeling against the
president of the company, Mr.. Dolley,
who was active in causing the prose-
cution of Noun Day, the alleged New
Mexico land swindler, for whom Mr..
Quinton was attorney.
LAS far as our company is con-
cerned, for two successive years IL mas
transacted more business than any
other company doing business in the
state, with one exception. 1t was ex-
amined and audited in December or
last year, in common with all the 9TH
err insurance companies, when super
intendent of Insurance Lewis complet-
ed his term of office. Mr.. Lewis was
not only satisfied with the business
methods and the past progress of the
company, but had so firm belief in
its future that he invested his money
in the company and became it's Secre-
ment from Office. Since that time the
company has filed it's annual report.
which has been approved by the pres
ent superintendent of insurance, Mr..
Wilson, and is in every way in pros
porous condition.
1.-The chief obstacle to avoid in
new life insurance company is the un-
fair or blue sky contracts with the so
Letting agents. which when carried
into effect illegally dissipated the
ers. This company has been extreme
ly careful, but Notwithstanding that
fact, finds itself in the situation of
having to submit to being sand-bagged
on such contracts or stand for its
rights in court. 1t has chosen the
latter method and proposes to defend
the rights of it's policy holders.
This company is in first class finan-
cial condition. Its legal reserves are
intact. 1t has no unpaid liabilities"

CHIEF WAS RIGHT
Parsons Theory That Penalty
Promotes Crime.
Arrests Show Slump Under
Reduced Fines.

When Harve Parson, chief of police,
was a parag rap her on the State Jour-
nal staff he turned loose a 'wheeze"
in his by the Way column to the
effect that the greater penalty at
tached, the more general cussedness
along that particular line there was
apt to be.
Since he has been chief of police.
Parsons has found that his theory has
held true. Strange as it may seem,
there has been smaller number of
drunks booked at the police station
since the price was reduced by Judge
Yates to IS than during the Cofrau
administration when the price of get
ting soused in the city was invaria-
bly, $40.
Four drunks have been arrested
since 4 o'clock Friday afternoon-an
unusually large number to be booked
in that length of time since the pres
ent administration grasped the reins
of city government
Following are the guests registered
at the Harvey cafe since Friday
evening: Henry McCulley, fined SIS
this morning by Judge Yates on u
charge of drunkenness and disorderly;
William Moore. fined SIS for drunk
enness; Ora Morris, fined SIS for
drunkenness-arrest by Officer
Cook. Harry Ke1ch, fined SIS for
