A Brooklyn dentist incurred the

about half an hour, and during that
time Captain Jack let not only the dem

neither was it like the Captain Jack

Insurance Trust
Is Ordered to Pay
$l3,O0O,000 Fines
Mississippi Chancellor Finds
"a Companies Violated
State Law; Spared Pen.
alties of $4,000, 900, 900
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


JACKSON, Miss, Oct. 8.-Holding
that insurance companies were guilty
of violating the Mississippi antitrust
laws, Chancellor " ]. Stricken to-day
granted the State penalties, amounting
to nearly $lS,ooo,ooo, against the COM
panies. The state won every point in
its contention against the eighty-four
companies, but Chancellor Stricken as
sessed the minimum fine of only 5000
for each day of alleged violation, de-
claring:
eve exercise mercy as we'll as justice
In this court. The purpose Of the anti
trust law is to suppress the evil rather
than punish the offender"
The maximum penalty fixed by the
Mississippi statute is $4,000 a day and
had the Chancellor assessed this amount
the total would have approached $4,000
100000, the amount asked by State
Revenue Agent Stokes V. Robertson.
The agent, under the provisions of the
law, gets as his fee 20 per cent of the
penalties collected, SO his portion Of
the $13,000,000 collected will be $780,
600 if he is able to make collection.

that publishes standardized rates and
charged that the defendants were re-
sponsble for it. He held that local I'M
derwriters were not responsible for tho
conditions, but the court found that "the
local agents are but the victims of cir
cumstances."
The antitrust suit originally was
brought against 1879 fire insurance COM
panies, but Chancellor Stricken dis
missed the suit as to fifty-fve reinsur-
ance companies.
The Chancellor ruled that the Mis-
sissippi inspection and advisory rating
bureau was merely the old Southern
Tariff Association, barred from the
state fifteen years ago, sin Disguise"
The Chancellor commented on the
Southeastern Tariff association and it's
method, and characterized it as being
an association of the insurance com
panies which had formed themselves
into a trust and were working under
the name of this association. He re-
ferred to the fact that the rates made
by this association were the rates
which were adopted by the Mississippi
Advisory and Instruction bureau, and
which were adopted through this bu-
reau by the insurance companies do
ing business in this state.
The insurance companies will ap-
peal the case to the Supreme Court of
Mississippi,

him again his well-behaved and good
humored self.
Keeper O'Brien went to Park Com
missioner John M. Harman with the
news, and the Park Commissioner de-
cided that it was up to the city to
have the lions teeth looked after. He
said, however, that instead Of taking
Captain Jack to dentist it might be
bit more handy to have the dentist
come to Captain Jack. DR.. Gillespie
was called. The lion was to have his
teeth filled.
His cage was crowded for the event
yesterday. Keeper O'Bricn and several
assistants hog-tied him, and Captain
Jack viewed the goings-on with moth
ing more than a mild curiosity. But

was placed in his mouth, his bad hume +

so did his roars and his growls.
AS DR.. Gillespie set about cleaning
out three teeth Captain Jack put on
every roaring record he knew, and soon
everybody in the park had been drawn
to the lions cage. But roars or no
roars, the dentist continued his work.
AS he finished the job the iron bar be-
came loose and the lions roars became
louder, and he fastened his malignant
eye upon the man who had welded the
shining instruments.
Captain Jack was still pretty sullen
when meal time came around last night,
but he was quiet and, according to the
head keeper, ate a bigger meal than he
had In weeks.
