HENRY'S ACCOUNT
TO BE RECHECKED
Robertson Says He Will Have
to File Suit if Commission
er Does Not Settle.

Jackson, Miss, Feb 26.- Stokes
v. Robertson, state revenue agent,
has not completed rechecking the
statement of account filed with him
| several days ago by Insurance Com
missioner Henry in response to his
demand for a settlement of the ac-
count presented a month ago.
He said today that it is his next
move" and that during the week,
perhaps in two or three days, he will
file with the insurance commissioner
his recheck of the account showing
the amount claimed since the pay
ment by Mr.. Henry of approximately
$4,000 last week. He said he is
following up every item for which
Mr.. Henry claims credit, and admits
that some of them are due him, es-
pecially on some that were paid to
the state treasurer to the credit Of
the wrong company.
The recheck is being carefully
made, every item being followed up,
and another demand will be made
for what is now claimed against the
insurance commissioner, 1t is an
nounced. This sum, Mr.. Robertson
said, is about $4,000.
In the event the insurance corn
missioner does not settle in accord
ance with this second demand and
after recheck of the credits claim
ed by Mr.. Henry, there is nothing
left for me to do" said the revenue
agent, Except to file suit for the
amount claim to be due the state
by the insurance commissioner"

GULLIBLE FOLKS

1--WE the people," are still gullible
and as ready to bite as a hungry
young perch in the spring time, says
the Clarion-Ledger. A Chicago
youngster advertised that if people
would place their money in his hands
for investment he could earn for
them 200 to 500 per cent a year.
A few sent in their money and at the
end of the month the slick rascal
returned them 20 per cent Of what
they sent in, saying their money had
earned 20 per cent. Then there was
mad rush of the people to place
their money in the scoundrel's
hands. More than $4,000 were
poured into his Golfers. The slick
young investor is now in the hands
of the courts and his dupes are de-
manding that he be hung. A few
months from now some other. scoun-
drel will work the same scheme. 1t
will take several reincarnations to
eradicate gullibility from the human
system.
The Leader said in a recent issue
the people had been swindled out Of
S140, 100000 in the past FIVE years
by crooked promoters and men Of
that ilk. AS soon as human nature
changes this thing'll stop.

SALE OF MANSION
IS BEING OPPOSED
Change Recommended By Pres
ent and Past Cover
nOrS.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 26.-During
the early days of the present session
of the Legislature there was the us
ual suggestion as to the sale of the
governors mansion, property in the
center of Jackson and occupying one
entire block. Present and past gov
ernors have recommended the sale,
but so far no Legislature has taken
the matter seriously, sentiment be-
ing strongly against 1t.
Every Governor since Alexander G,
McNutt has resided in the mansion.
MeNutt was from Warren county,
and was known as the Great Repu-
diator'' of Mississippi's debts. He
occupied the mansion" for the first
time in 1910, and was the first gov
ernor to make it the official home of
the governors of Mississippi
The building is the same as it was
then except that its size has been
almost doubled by an addition to the
rear twelve years ago. 1t is hand
some two-story pressed brick build
ing.
Early in-the session, Mr.. owen of
Union, introduced bill for the sale
Of the property and the erection of
home for the governor on the va
cant space Immediately north of the
old Capitol. The bill provided for
the appointment of a commission
composed Of FIVE state officials to
have charge Of the sale and erection
of the new home for the governor.
The bill has evidently been "put to
sleep" in committee for nothing has
been heard of it since the day Of its
presentation.

FIRE INSURANCE
FIRM ORGANIZED
Mississippi Men Finance $780,
100000 Company and Be-
gin Business.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 27. - The
Bankers and Merchants Fire Insur-
ance Company. with 100000 capi-
tai and surplus paid in and an au-
thorized capital of 5000, 900, made
the required showing to Insurance
Commissioner Henry today and was
authorized to begin business at once.
The company is financed exclusive
ly by Mississippi men and 1t is said
there never was a company of any
kind this size organized in this state
in as quick time. The present need
for insurance, however, and the A.
nancial possibilities offered were both
incentives to the men who got be-
hind the movement.
The following are the officers Of
the company
r. e. Remington, president; John
E. King, vice-president; H. v. Wat
kins, second vice-president; r. H.
Green. third vice-president; John q.
Seavey, fourth vice-president; ]. M.
fairfield, treasurer; w. G.. Sours,
secretary.
The above officers with 7. NJ. He
derman constitute an executive com
mittee that will supervise and direct
the affairs Of the company.
The flrst policy of the company
was written Immediately upon the
new Wholesale business just organic
ed by r. z. Remington in Jack

THE DOCTORS PRIVILEGE TAX.

The Leader is informed by a local
physician that Mississippi and Lou
isiana are the only states that i'm
pose a privilege tax on physicians.
In our State we believe it is ten dol
lars.
Physicians do large amount of
charity work and besides in teaching
hygiene and the prevention of dis
ease to the public they diminish
their own income. And again a
kindly Christian physician is God
send in a stricken home and stands
next to the minister and like the
latter doesn't count hours.
The public is becoming so intelli-
gent about disease, its causes and
cures. that the physician is no long
er looked up to as an oracle; but by
reason Of his equipment his valuable
experience and his large sympathy
and interest In the welfare Of his
people, he is valuable asset, a
helpful professional man and deserv-
es living in return for his neces-
sary service-and that without the
special privilege tax!

FLOODS DELAY BEGINNING
OF RUSSELL INVESTIGATION
Rep. Gore, Member of Committee,
Said to Be Waterbound-Ex-
pected Soon.

Further developments in the leg
islative investigation into the charges
made by Governor Lee M. Russell a
gainst the representatives of the fire
insurance companies, in which the
chief executive alleges that the fire
risk agents "fostered, aided and abet-
ted" the institution of the 100000
damage suit filed by Miss Birkhead,
did not materialize yesterday. Flood
waters in the central part of the
state prevented the return to Jack
son of Representative Solon S. Gore
from his home near Embry, Winston
county, which is fifteen miles from
the railroad. Mr.. Gore is a member
of the special committee appointed
by Speaker Eennett Conner. His
absence prevented the meeting Of
the committee yesterday, Chairman
ALI Stone and his colleagues having
agreed to make no decisive move un-
til every member of the official in
quiry was present Mr.. Gore was
expected to reach Jackson late last
night or this morning.
The departure yesterday afternoon
Of L. T. Kennedy, another member
of the special committee, for his
home in Natchez places another OBJ
stacle in the way of the progress of
the probe for the present. Mr.. Ken
nedy may not return until next Mon
day. Other members of the probe

having fought vigorously toward the
House investigation. He criticized
the action of the governor in send
ing the special message which pre-
cipitated the sentiment and brought
on the inquiry.
In reply to the special communica-
tion from the executive office sent
to the committee Thursday, asking
that the Governor be allowed repre-
sentation in the sessions and be al
lowed to have his counsel call and
question witnesses, resulted in the
following reply from the chairman
yesterday
Hon. Lee M. Russell,
Executive Office,
Jackson, Miss.
Dear SIR
The special committee of investi-
cation to which your letter was ad-
dressed on yesterday instructs me to
advise you that 1t will defer reply to
your communication until the re-
turn to Jackson of one of its MEM
bers, Mr.. s. S. Gore.

RISK MEN BACK
QUIZ ON CHARGES
Innocence Stressed in Letter to
Members of Mississippi
Legislature.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 27. - The
fire insurance men charged by Gov
Russell with having formed a lobby
in Jackson for the purpose of influ-
encing legislation, and with having
fostered the "blackmailing suit" a.
gainst him filed in the court a few
weeks ago, said today that they en-
dorsed the action of the Legislature
in ordering an investigation of the
charges. They sent the following
letter addressed to the Legislature
of the State of Mississippi
I'VE, the undersigned members of
Mississippi State Association of In
surance Agents, some of us referred
to in the message of the governor of
the 23rd instant by name, having no
other tribunal in which to defend
ourselves against the unjust attack
made upon us, and the origination
OF which we are members composed
entirely of citizens of Mississippi en-
gagged in an important and lawful
business, respectfully request that all
the matters referred to by the gov
ernor in such message pertaining to
us and our organization may be in
vestigated thoroughly by your hon
orable body to the end that the par
ty or parties responsible for Missis-
sippt's apparent disgrace may be dis
covered and held UP to the just scorn
and condemnation of a fair-minded
people, awaiting with confidence the
result of such investigation for our
vindication.
"All Mississippians engaged in the
business of writing fire insurance as
agencies of companies, both local and
foreign now admitted to the state,
have been requested to ask their To-
cal representatives in the Legislature
to use their influnece to procure a
full and impartial investigation of
these matters as per circular letter
attached hereto.
I'VE shall speak only for ourselves
and the organization to which we
belong, conscious at all times of our
entire innocence, in fact, of any of
the enumerated charges of miscon-
duct.
1--WE respectfully ask that this re-
quest .be given a place on your re-
cords along with the message of the
governor.
Respectfully,
Mississippi Association of Insur-
ance Agents.
