RULES INSURANCE LAW IS VOID.
Court Finds Arbitrary Power over
Agents Unjust.

Supreme Court Justice Guy has declared
unconstitutional the section Of the insur-
anoe law giving the State Superintendent
Of Insurance arbitrary power In refusing
70 renew licenses of insurance agents. The
Jaw was cited by the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company in Its answer to suit
brought by Solomon Stern. an agent. for
commissions estimated at $4,000.
Stern was member Of the Independent
Order OF Sons OF Benjamin. IA fraternal in
surance organization which was ia fnsn-
cial difficulties when he set about trying
20 induce an established company to ac-
cept the members in body and issue them
policies Stern says the Metropolitan
agreed to issue each of the 7 100 members
Of the order a polIpe for $500, and pay him
n commission for his services
The insurance company commended that
il could not pay commissions to Stern
under the insurance law. as he was not a
licensed agent.
Justice Guy then ruled that the section
OF the law cited was unconstitutional

necessary to bring the property into
smooth sailing. Wall street was rather
amused yesterday to learn that the
roads needs exceeded Nj. Amster's es-
Inmates, but Mr.. Amster on leaving for
Boston last night said that he had as
suranccs that he could raise more than

LYRIC

. Following the success of her open s11 perfornances Miss Cecil Spooner, who heads the stock company of the 2 same name at the Lyric theatre, con tinues to play to record breaking g houses at this playhouse.
 My Arizona Girl'' is. the play in which Miss Spooner is making the, big gest hit of her local engagement. It , is a play full of strong situations and much drastic interest and one sure to appeal to an American audience.
 The career of Polly Barnes forms the main theme of the play. Polly is sweet, wholesome type of American girlhood, thrown upon her own re- sources early in life. and anxious to earn enough for her own and her sis ter's support-aH she asks is a square deal and a fair chance to earn an honest living, but her fresh. blooming youth is the cause of many tempta- ti0ns and bitter trials to keep to the right. However, her devotion to her invalid sister, her inert sense of the 9good and true, her sincere love for the struggling young engineer, do not permit her TO wander from the straight road.
 The role of Polly is being played by Miss Spooner and the other roles have been carefully cast to fill the require ments of the different characters.
