JONES OBSERVES IN
 PEDDL|NC POLICIES
Chairman or Corporation Commission Thinks That It Is Pernicious
 Habit; Should Be Stopped.

Chairman F. A. Jones, of the cor poratiOn commission, handed down q separate opinion on the case of the alleged violation of the insurance laws of the Maryland Casualty Company, the Phoenix Bank and Trust Company, agents.
 The case of the Maryland Casualty company was up before the corpora tion commission some time ago. It was alleged that the Phoenix Bank and Trust company, its agent, had accepted business for the Casualty company from the Slayback Van Schaack Agency company. and had paid that company bonus or commis- sion for the business. The commis- sion decided that the transaction was perfectly legitimate.
 In his dissenting opinion yesterday Chairman Jones stated that the in suranCe laws never intended that an agent licensed to do business for one insurance company should solicit and obtain business in a company other than it's own. If this should be all lowed, in MT. Jones opinion. an agent for an obscure company could insure d building against loss, and before he

tors suggestion of taking her home. Before he reached the inner room he heard the shot of the 32 caliber re- volver with which she ended her life.
 She carried the revolver in a roll of music which she had when she entered the office.
 At the inquest held in Coroner De Souza's court at three o'clock yester- day afternoon, it developed that Mrs. Kimmis had not been herself for sev- eral days. Mir. Gam said she had been nervous and irritable and Dr. Carson, roborated his testimony.
 "I was with her just a moment before the fatal shot was fired" stated Dr. Carson. Tn my opinion something was affecting her reason"
 What that something" was remained unsettled, but it appeared to be a com bination of worry drugs and liquor.
 For the past year and a half Mrs. Kimmis had made her home in Ari- zona. She and her children had lived with their relatives, Mr and Mrs. George Gam of 624 North Fourth ave- nue. The husband, Bruce Kimmis. is in parts unknown and with him is their son, Vernon, a lad of eighteen. Kimmis is an agent for the Indian drug cure company and at one time was in Phoe- nix. He is supposed to be somewhere in California at the present time.

 "I have grave doubts as to the truthfulness of the statements of the complaining witness. His testimony was conflicting and none of the other witnesses have corroborated his re- marks. l have sat in many, many cases, but l have never noticed ac- tions such as his during an examina = tion. | ask the probation officer to look into this matter"
 l The boys chief testimony against Frantzen was that he saw him al midnight with sack in which he believed were turkeys

 Her Life.

Leaving a farewell message to her daughter in which she advised her to be merry that she might live long, Mrs Etta Kimmis, employed in the of flee Of Dr. Harry Carson, shortly after noon yesterday shot herself through the head, dying almost instantly. For the past week Mrs. kimmis has not been quite normal She has been nervous and completely unstrung. but she had rever mentioned suicide. When 1 her desk was searched at the office it was found that she had left a brief note to her two children Brucella. aged fifteen, and John, eight years of age and another unaddressed and ap- parently to her husband, from whom she was separated To her son and daughter she wrote:
 Darling Brucella and John: Mama is just tired. Be a good boy and love Aunt Lizzie and Uncle George.
 "Brucella: Frame your mind to mirth and merriment-which bars thousand harms and lengthens life. Am perfectly sane-only tired. "ETTA KIMMIS." The other note was unintelligible, and while every letter in the first stood out clearly, the sense of the second could not be gleaned. There was only one word in every ten or twelve that could be made out.
 According to the story of Dr. Carson, he and his wife and Mr. Gam, an uncle of Mrs. Kimmis, were sitting in an of flee on West Adams street when Mrs. Kimmis entered This looks like d family reunion," she said.
