the capital during the last week was
the decision by Circuit Judge W., H.

Governor Russell had the right to re-
move State Insurance Commissioner

bezzlement. Henry appealed to the
Supreme Court from the decision OF
Judge Potter, and as this state
matter. 1t win perhaps be made a pre-
ference case and be decided Of Judge
Potter, Henry will be out Of office,
and Excel Coody, whom the governor
appointed when he issued his remov-
al order, will become Insurance Com
missioner, and hold under such ap-
pointment until January 1924, when
Coody's successor, who viii be nomi-
mated in the August primary OF 1923,
and elected the following November,
will be sworn in for four years.
Commissioner Henry's removal by
me governor is the result OF his hav-
ing been checked short on premium
taxes collected, some $4,000 by State
Revenue Agent Stokes v. Robertson.

through the State Revenue Agent
some $4,000 and is being sued by the
State Revenue Agent in the name of
the state, for an additional $4,000 in
the chancery court of this district, of
which v. J. Stricken, who penalized
the insurance companies some $4,000,

nue. Agent, is chancellor. This latter
