Ban on ssHigh Pressure''
In Life Insurance
Not Blood Pressure, but That
Used to Write Large Vol
ume of Business

Jesse Phillips, Superintendent of In
surance, has written letter to all the
insurance companies operating in this
state, warning them against anv high
pressure methods because of the en-
actment of the amendment to the in
surance law suspending the limitation
regarding new business. He announced
that he will refuse to suspend the
limitation to any company which in
dulges in "extravagant or high
pressure methods"
"The enactment of this amendment y
said Mr.. Phillips in his letter to the
insurance companies, "will not justify
any company resorting to high pressure
methods to write a large volume of
business, and Il shall not suspend the
limitation as to any company which in
dulges in any extravagant practices in
its agency department. No increased
allowances for compensation or other
expenses will be permitted because of
the amendment.
THE limitations of section 96 (of
the insurance law were intended to
curtail and control extravagant and
hlgh-pressure methods, and life insur-
ance companies are expected to carry
out the spirit of this section, even
though the limitations may be tempo
rarily suspended"
Mr.. Phillips said that reports re-
ceived by him during the month of
April showed that the phenomenal de-
mand for life insurance in evidence
during the first three months of the
year still continues. Several companies
have already written more than so per
cent Of their limit for the year.

In any case, the investment mar
ket may now consider itself as Writ
usually relieved, or soon. about to be
relieved, of the altogether unprece-
dented burden which has resulted in
absorbing $20,Oo0,O 100000 in two
years. With this out of the way, and
funds free to seek their oldtime
channels, decided recovery in bond
values would not be surprising. 1t
was probably speculative anticipa-
tion Of such result which led to the
further increase in private bond
values last week.

The remarkable aspect of last
weeks money market was the ease
of rates. Early in the week call
money fell to 81 per cent, the
lowest figure in two years. This was
doubtless due to government oper-
alton, and the market returned soon
afterward to per cent, with a rul-
ing rate of n. Nevertheless, even
this is remarkable, when one reflects
that during this week the stock mar
ket was more active than in any
week for several years, and that the
government was launching a huge
financial transaction involving S4.-
00,O00,00O.
1t might be contended that the
ease of call money came precisely
because of the banks uncertainty: ::
that, not knowing their position and
the heavy demands likely to be made

In the coming months there will
be a gradual repayment of the enor-
nous quantity Of outstanding GER
tificates of indebtedness from the
government to the banks. This will
not necessarily mean a correspond
ing ease in money rates, for the
government will undoubtedly issue
new certificates of indebtedness.
though probably not in amounts
great enough completely to offset
the paying off Of old issues. Deposits
Withdrawn from the banks to sub
scribe to Victory notes will doubt
less be replaced in the banks. The
general tendency, therefore, should
be Tor easier money, but certain de-
mands, such as probable increase
in commercial borrowing, financing
OF the railroads, and, as soon as the
treaty of peace is out of the wav.
short time borrowing by European
governments and private interests.
and the absorption of funds by long
time loans to Europe, are factors
not to be overlooked.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-12

1t is believed by some commercial
paper brokers that paper which has
been quoted at Il and 5 1a per cent
will next week be marked down to S
and "a per cent. That belief is not
based on any great change expected
to be shown in actual financial posi-
tion, as revealed by bank state
ments, but rather in a psychological
change. The banks will know where
they stand. They will know the ex-
tent to which they have been drawn
upon by depositors subscribing to
the loan. They will know the extent
to which they have had to finance
Victory note holders, and how much
of the loan they themselves will or
will not have to take. This knowl-
edge is expected to lead to the aban-
donment of the abnormal caution
prevailing during the past three
weeks or more.

Crowds Cheer as Body of Jay Lynch,
Sheriff Murderer, bangles in Air.
Condemned to Life Imprisonment,
Maximum Legal Punishment He
Is Taken Out to Hang as Family
Bid Him Good-+By.

Lamar, Mo-, May 2S.-Shortly after
jay Lynch had pleaded guilty to the
murder of Sheriff John Harlow and
his. son and had been sentenced to
life Imprisonment, twenty-four men
entered the courtroom took Lynch
from the hands of the officers and
hanged him in the yard before n
crowd OF 500 persons. When Lynch's
body was swung into the air the spec
tators including many women and chill
drcn cheercd.
Lynch is one of few white men to
be lynchcd in Missouri.
Immediately after Judge b. C.
Thurman passed sentence he ordered
Lynch taken to his office under guard
OF seven deputies. cHrc he was al
lowed to greet his wife, baby, moth
CT and sister. His handouts had been
removed that he might hold his baby
and he had just given the child back
to its mother when the men entered
and seized him.
Lynch this afternoon had been
brought from Butler, Mo-, where he
had been held in Jail since his arrest
in Colorado several weeks ago There
were no threats when he was brought
from the train to the courthouse
There was no show CT violence in tho
courtroom when the prisoner was ar
ra'ngned and according to witnesses
the men composing the mob gathered
in the corridors Of the courthouse and
in the yard and no warning was Civ
on Of their action.
Capital punishment is not possible
under Jaw enacted by the Legislu
ture in 1917. An attempt was made tc
repeal the present law shortly afte,
the Lynch shooting and the chief SUI
porter of the repeal Of the law was
Representative Henry Chancellor Of
Barton County, where Lynch wa:
hanged.
