DISPUTE OVER INSURANCE MAY START CONTEST Courts May Have to Decide km Matter of $25,000 De- / posit. j The Indiana insurance commissyoner is following the precedent set by th y Illinois insurance commissioner in requiring foreign insurance companies to plflee a deposit of $25,000, with the State/Insurance commissioner, Sumner Kenner,/deputy attorney general, said today. J Whether the State can require the companies to place the deposit with the State commission is a matter for- the courts to decide, Mr. Kenner said. It Is believed that the 'Missouri companies, which have objected to the ruling through their insurance Commissioner will contest the case. Shoqad a court ruling sustain the requirements of the Indiana commissioner, it is believed that all of the States would require the deposit of $25,000, with the Stfjite Insurance department to protect the policy holders. The Mlsourl department will refuse to grant the Indiana, companies licenses according to Ben C. Hyde, insurance commissioner of Missouri, until the ruling is rescinded. Thomas McMurray, head of the State department, said that the ruling was placed'in effect to protect policyholders and 'vould not be revoked. The Indiana companies which would be barred fronj doing business in Missouri are: Steriyiig Insurance Company, Grain Dealers’ Insurance Company, Indiana I Lumberman’s Insurance Company, Continental /Casualty Company, Inter Ocean Casualty/ Company, American Central Life Insurance Company, Farmers’ National Life Irsurance Company, Reserve Loan Life Insurance Company.

Mrs. Clara Richwine, 35, and her father-in-law, William Richwine, 74, was blocked by a seemingly impenetrable wall jof mystery today. The one tangible I “lead” In thq case, the statement of the dead woman’s husband. Perry Richwine, that he believed a former friend of his wife responsible for the deed, came to nothing when it was ascertained the man Suspected is a prisoner at the Chester i (111.) penitentiary aud f has been for a I year.

[C.&E. BRANCH TO REMAIN IDLE PENDING^SALE Line North of Fair Oaks, Lacking Business, to Be Abandoned. Abandonment of the plan of having the property of the Chicago & Eastern 1111I nois Railroad Company north of Fair Oaks in operation before It is sold at auction some time this month was seen today, when H. R. Kurrle, president of the Monon railroad, which was investigating the feasibility of operating that portion of the line said he decided they would be unable to operate the properties. John W. JllcCardle, chairman of the public service commission, which is attempting to interest other railroads in buying the property, which is now in the the hands of a receiver, said that the sale . of the road now was impossible. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis & Western is operating the road from Brazil north to Fair Oaks, and, according to Mr. McCardle, is doing practically enough business each day to pay the operating expenses. According to the officials of the road, it Is necessary to have twenty-five cijrs of freight shipped over the road each day. During the past two weeks, the | freight shipments over this portion of | the road have averaged twenty-two cars. [ The part of the road which the commission hoped to have the Monon take over, does not have enough freight to pay the operating expenses, Mr. McCardle said. This portion of the road is through the agricultural district, and with the low price of grain, the farmers and elevators along the route are holding up their products for a higher price, and are not shipping. Should the freight rates be lowered and the price of grain go higher the farmers In this section would be forced to ’•'dd their grains and products, ; because transportation facilities would bo lacking.

UNCLE SAM MAY PURCHASE ALL BONDED LIQUOR Plan Suggested by Which Government Could Save Millions. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Purchase by the Government of all liquor supplies in the country will be recommended to President Harding soon by the joint Congressional Committee on Governmental Reorganization. The plan is to have Uncle Sam buy ail the liquor now in bonded warehouses. It totals about 33.000,000 gallons and could be bought, It la estimated, for $50,000,000. The Treasury would quickly get bark this money and more, the tommittee thinks, by the sale of 5,000,000 gallons for medicinal purposes at sl2 a gallon. This Is less than tax paid whisky now costs the wholesaler. The committee holds its proposal would save millions of dollars now paid out to guard the warehouses and keep records. Prohibition enforcement officials and Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon League favor the proposal. The Government must now guard .the 140 bonded warehouses In which tills whisk} is stored and must In addition provide a vast machinery for Its handling so that It will not fall into the hands of bootleggers.
