1873 COMPANIES STOP
WRITING INSURANCE
Cancellations OF Policies in Force Not
E4pected-Trade bodies Deplore
Action of Revenue Agent.

New York, Dec. 21.-One hundred anu
thirty-eight nre insurance companies are
suspendlng their business in MISSISSIPPI
Mhere their aggregate covering policies
amount to approximately $1,20O, 200, ,OOU.
ThlS action is the outgroWth OF a SUIT
filed against them by the state revenue
agent OF Mississippi, charging that III
collecting the same rates the companies
have created a combine in restraint OF
trade.
Announcement Of the suspension was
made here today by the National Boara
OF Fire Underwriters.
1t was explained that the state rev.
enue agent contends that the alleged
violation of the antitrust laws of Miss
ississippi subjects each company to
possible penalty of $4,000 day since
January l, 1908, or an aggregate pen
atty OF $2,OOO,OOO,OOO.
TO enforce payment, balance due to
the companies in Mississippi and held by
their agents has been garnisheed. This
amounts to 100000.
The penalty is accumulative and pro-
gressive, the statement said, and each
days continuance in business subjects
each defendant company to a fine OF
$4,000 more.
The defendants, which include REIN
surance concerns, were summoned by
copies served on the insurance commits
sioner of mississippi as attorney for
process for all companies on Dec. 4th,
and the summonses are returnabIe in
the January term of the chancery court,
first district, in Kinds county, which be-
gins January 3.
G. J. Doyle, of Springfield, ILL.,, has
been retained as counsel to represent
th3- defendant companies, all of which
have or viii have suspended business
before the return date in the summons,
in order that judgment against them
may not be had by default, the state
ment said.
kilograms from the Vicksburg Clear
ing House Association and various COM
mercial bodies of Mississippi, deploring
the action of the state revenue agent
have been received here by the board
and the defendant concerns, it was ad-
ded.

A most enjoyable and happy celebra
tion was spent at the Bell Cafe last ev-
ening when Chief of Police ]. H. Case
entertained at dinner in honor of the
outgoing city Board, as well as the new
members-elect who will take their seats
on January 1st. Those present and re-
cipients of Mr.. Cases hospitality were:
Mayor R. S. Butler, City Clerk Ches-
ter Byrne, City Attorney A. A. Cohn,
Chief of Police ]. H. Case, Tax Collec-
tor D. Sartin, Aldermen E. NJ. Bee, r.
l.. Davis, F. H. Hartman, Sam Abrams,
A. E. Moreton, jr, Aldermen-elect J. S..
Penn and p. l.. Farrell, and Paul M.
Hobbs, of The Leader.
The menu served was a most tempt
ing one. 1t was prepared with credit
to the popular cafe and was served in
the best of taste to the guests seated at
the banquet board.
Following is the menu:
oyster Cocktail

S. Butler, Chester Byrne, A. A. Cohn, E.
NJ. Bee, P. L. Farrell, ]. S. Penn and
Paul M. Hobbs.
The responses, while carrying with
them enough zest and jest to make them
attractive, touched in the main on the
order of a business session and a discus
sion of the city of the past, it's present
and future and its needs, plans and aims
to make it still better and with larger
interests than it now has. Officers re-
tiring gave some of their experiences
for the benefit of new members, with
the magnanimous purpose of helping
them start off the new body on it's two
year journey beginning with the New
Year.

Case for his hospitality at the end of
the evening, all voting Mr. Case a model
host.

like other folks.
The office with the exception Of
Christmas Day will
be open and will take care of
business as usual.
We desire to take this occasion
to thank most heartily all patrons
of our establishment for their lib
eral support during the past twelve
months. Some of our friends and
patrons have had sore trials and
reverses; but are standing like
men with faces turned toward a
brighter day. Others have pros
pered exceedingly well.
To all we extend the hand Of
fellowship both in the adversely
and prosperity that has come like
the rain to the just and the unjust.
The spirit of year newborn fills
the air with good cheer. It sweeps
the cobwebs from ambitions store
room. We extend our best wishes
for a Christmas Of joy and q New
Year made happy by the realiza-
tion Of their brightest hopes.
