- FAIRNESS u
INSURANCE SUIT
Is Shown In Letter From Home In
surance Company TO Dir.
Woodward.

The 1 re spirit and attitude OF tn
insurance companies towards tn
State of Mississippi and the situation
precipitated by the bringing out O
the suit against the companies by the
State Revenue Agent is splendidly
ct forth in the following letter from
the Home Insurance Company, Of
New York received the past week by
Mr.. Jesse P. Woodward, agent of the
company:
New York, Dec. %, 1920.
To Our Agents In Mississippi:
State Agent Haltiwanger wired
you from Jackson on the 10th inst.
asking that you suspend business for
us until further notice. This we now
confirm and at the same time take
the opportunity of expressing our
regret thatswe should have been fore
ed to take this action. This regret
is for the interruption of the long
established and cordial relations with
our agents and for the Inconvenience
which they and their clients must
necessarily suffer as a consequence
of the suspension. The "Hcme" was
admitted to your state in 1853 and
during its years of operation has en-
deavored at all times to discharge
its every obligation to the insuring
public of Mississippi. True our ex-
perience from profit and loss stand
point has not been all that could be
desired, but this has never influenced
our attitude in our dealings with our
Mississippi policy holders or loss
claimants. The high loss ratio, the
heavy taxes and the stringent laws
under which, we are required to oper-
ate have all contributed to this I'M
satisfactory experience. We believe
our loyal agents will approve of our
action in suspending in the face of the
suit to which we are now subjected
by your State Revenue Officer and
the garnishment of such Of our funds
as are held by our local representa-
tives. We need not 60 into the
merits Of the case; you are doubtless
familiar with them and realize how
utterly preposterous the complaint
and demands are and how impossible
it is for us to temporize or compro-
mise with such a situation. With due
regard for the interests Of our stock
holders and for the rights Of policy
holders in other states, there was
for us TO do but suspend
business and in so doing we rely upon
your moral support, and, of course,
your usual prompt compliance. When
the unfairness of the action on the
part Of the States representative be-
comes generally known we are hope
full that public opinion and business
demands. will force the withdrawal of
the suit and such modification of the
present law as will protect legitimate
business from future prosecutions of
over-zealous and misguided office
holder We look forward to a re-
in full of our pleasant rela-
tions under better conditions.
Yours very truly,
F. c. Boswell,
Vice. President.

FIRE DESTROYS
BIG CITY GARAGE
FLAMES SWEPT ENTIRE BIG
PLANT EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING
LOSS ABOUT S5O,OOO.OO
Origin OF Flames Is Unknown
Twcnty-Three Automobiles
Go Up In Flames.-A
Complete Loss.


The big City Garage, owned BY
Messrs. William G.. Davis and Joe j
Cook, was completely destroyed by
fire at an earl. hour Sunday morning
The flames were discovered in the
roof Of the structure by Fireman
George Bailey shortly after one O'Clock
Sunday morning.
A quick run was made to the scene,
less than block from the fire station,
but before the firemen reached the
building the flames had gained such
Roadway that it was impossible to
check them.
Mr.. E. A. Ross and family, who
lived in the second story of the build
ing, had a narrow escape with their
lives. When they discovered the
flames the entire lower floor of the
building was mass Of smoke and
fire, and they were forced to crawl out
Of the windows and down ladders
which spectators pushed up to them.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The loss is estimated at approx
nlately fifty thousand dollars. TWEEN
ty-three automobiles went up in the
flames, as did all Of the machinery and
other equipment Of the plant.
The building, which was the prop
: erty of Major Battle Bell, is COM
plete loss. No insurance was carried
on the building, but the automobiles
were partially covered. The office
equipment was also covered BY
insurance.
Of the twenty three automobiles
which were destroyed, five were new.
There wcss hire8 Eaw Studebakers,
two 0alilands, and big new Republic
truck.
} The flames had gained such great
Roadway before anybody reached the
scene of the fire that only very few
things were saved. A roadster auto
mobile and a truck were pulled out Of
the building, together with few
things from the front office.
But for the prompt and efficient
work of the firemen, the fire might
have been even more disastrous, and
adjoining buildings very probably
would have been destroyed.
. The big LaFrance motor got into
action, and soon three strong streams
were playing on the flaming structure
and the flames were held sufficiently
in check to prevent them from spread
ing TO adjacent buildings.
The garage was located in the heart
of residence block on Main street,
end the wind, which had almost the
velocity Of gale, was blowing from
the southeast. Had it not been for
the fine pressure furnished by the big
fire truck and the prompt action in
taking care of adjoining buildings,
they would have been very seriously
endangered.
The explosion Of the gas tanks on
the cars and the oil and gas about the
building intensified the danger to a
great extent. The explosions were
loud and frequent, and made the sit
uation all the more difficult for the
firemen to handle.
Mr.. y. D. Cooper, who operated a
vulcanizing shop in the building, lost
all of his equipment and large stock
Of materials.
