Supreme Court Upholds De- cision by Benners Denying
 Injunction Writ
STEELE-SMITH FIRE
 CASE DISPOSED OF
Insurance Companies Sought to En- join Ham From Suing for Loss Sustained From Falling Walls of
 the Old Steele-Smith Building

Montgomery, June 1.-(Special.) )-The su- preme court today affirmed the judgment of Chancellor A. IF. Benners, of the Jeff ferson chancery court, in denying a writ of injunction restraining c. Ham of Bir- mingham from prosecuting his suits against the Aetna Insurance company and other insurance companies for damages caused by fire resulting from the falling of the Steele Smith walls in April, 1915.
 The injunction was sought on the grounds that Ham had obtained in the United States district court at Birmingha- ham a judgment against Mrs. Lucy F. Hudgins, owner of the Steele-Smith build ing. for s15,163. Mrs. Hudgins appealed this case to higher federal court, and pending the adjudication of that suit Ham proceeded against the several in surance companies in which he carried insurance
 The defendant insurance companies then sought to restrain Ham from prose- cutting his suits, maintaining as ground for the injunction that the loss having been maintained by the tort of Mrs. Lucy P. Hudgins, the compiainants were en- titled to be subrogated to the rights of said c. Ham asainst Mrs. Hudgns.
 Chancellor Benners denied the writ of injunction, and an appeal was taken to the supreme court. In affirming the chancery courts decision, the higher tribunal said:
 For the insured to voluntarily attempt, in good faith, to make the wrongdoer pay for the destruction of the property, instead of first proceeding againso the insurance companies and then allowing the insurance companies to sue une wrongdoer in the name of the insured, certainly does not appear to be the doing of wrong to the insurance companies, but appears to us to be to their advan- tage unless there be some collision or fraud in the suit against the wrong
