ATTORNEY GENERAL OF ItlDiAIIA HERE

Official Took Depositions in The Alleged Insurance Combine Case. CLAIM RATE DICTATION E. E. RONEY ON THE STAND TO DAY TESTIFIED THAT THE LOCAL INSURANCE BOARD WAS MERELY A "TRUST." Depositions for use in the case of the state of Indiana against the Sun Insurance Company of London and others, in which it is charged by Attorney General James Bingham, that the Insurance companies have a combination, contrary Ic the anti-trust law of the state, were Taken this morning from local insurance agents, by Mr. Bingham representing the state and Judge Bates of Chicago, representing the insurance companies. The depositions were taken in the office of court reporter, Arthur Curme, and more than an hour was consumed in the examination of each witness. There were nine local insurance agents subpoenaed. The case of the ttate against the insurance companies was filed in the superior court at Indianapolis several months ago. Mr. Bingham in his complaint Bays that the insurance companies have a combination for the purpose of regulating the price to be charged for insurance. Purpose of Suit. The purpose of the suit is for the dissolution of the Indiana inspection bureau, which publishes estimates at which the various risks should be written and to which the Insurance companies and agents over the state are subscribers. E. M. Sellers of Indianapolis is at the head of the bureau and had much . to do vith the establishment of rates. In the depositions ' taken today, Mr. Bingham endeavored to have the agents give specific instances which they have sold insurance here which was contrary to trio rates advised by the inspection bureau. Few instances were given in which the agents had not conformed to the rates, it is said. It is not probable that any of the lo-' cal agents will have to be witnesses in the case when it comes for trial in the superior couvt at Indianapolis, soon. In the taking of the depositions, Mr. Bingham was the more active. Much interest was attracted to Judge Bates as he is one of tbo leading corporation attorneys of Chicago. He was counsel ;s:rTT, ":'"T";! ...u ...., v icvvuv out fct- no vui ai tttivu uj the United States government, before Judge Lartdl&of the federal court of Chicago. 'Judge Landis assessed the famous $20,000,000 fine against the Standard Oil company in that case. Roney Was on Stand. E. E. Roney, a local insurance agent, In his deposition to Mr. Bingham this afternoon stated that the local board was nothing but a trust. He had been thrown out of the local board on one occasion for some violation of the law and on two occasions became a "free lance" on his own accord. Mr. Roney's evidence was probably the best that Mr. Bingham received today. Money Comet In Bunches to A. A. Chisholm, of Treadwell N. Y., now. His reason it well worth reading: "For a long time I suffered from Indigestion, torpid liver, constipation, nervousness, and general debility." be writes.

TO REMOVE BANNER A special committee of the Fall Festival association, Including Perry J. Freeman, Rudolph G. Leeds and Frank Taylor appeared before council last evening and asked that council take some action whereby the large streamer of the Moose lodge would be removed from over Main street. The council, on Mr. Von Pien's motion, revoked the permission granted this organization to advertise M. the expense of the Fall Festival. ; , ; Council was shown that the 1 Fall Festival was supposed to' be for the purpose of the promotion' of the common good of the city and not for any one individual or organization.; Council agreed that It was unfair to the fes tival association and the citizens gen erally, that the Moose be allowed to suspend their banner. 5 Kodoll2rJ5S"s palpitation of the heart.

Bush knows nothing about the crowd when he goes on the field. He simply plays all the baseball that is in him all the time and it makes no difference to him whether there is an army or a handfull of spectators. He left last night to Join the Detroit team. Indianapolis fans are pulling for Detroit on account of the presence of Bush and ex-Indian Eddie Summers with the Tigers. Bush watched the game between the Reserves and All-Pros at Brighton Beach Sunday and was kept busy greeting friends.

CIRCUIT COURT A . VERY BUSY PLACE There Was Much Doing This Morning in the County Seat of Justice. THE DOCKET WAS CALLED ONLY A FEW OF THE CIVIL CASES, HOWEVER, WERE SET FOR TRIAL COURT ADJOURNS FOR THE FALL FESTIVAL. Business in the circuit court, todav was strenuous, compared with that of the average day of court. Judge Fox, of the circuit court, began the calling of the civil docket, containing 168 cases, and on completion announced that there would be no more court this week, owing to the Fall Festival. It was due to this fact, that tha court rushed matters through in order that business might be resumed promptly next Monday. Only a few of the civil cases were set for trial. These included in the majority of instances, divorce cases. However, rules to answer were entered against a number of defendants and a few long standing cases were dismissed. Office Rent Suit.

Mr. Bradbury is represented by Attorney A. R. Feenister of Cambridge City. Mr. Feemster was in the court room at the time. The action is brought to collect office rent. The case was filed a year ago and it is probable that it will be dismissed when the office rent due is paid. The case of Frank Owens versus Mary Melissa Owens, for divorce, had no interesting features. Two suits were filed in the court by John L. Rupe, attorney for the P., C, C. & St. L. R. R., against property owners of Center township to condemn the property in order that tho railroad may carry out its double tracking policy. Charles and Mary Porter are named as defendants in one case, while John A. Dunbar and other members of his family are defendants in the second case. To Collect Notes.
