MISSOG CAN GET INSURED
Fire Underwriters Resume Business
in Showme Land,
LOWER RATES ARE LIKELY
St. koala Aaaoclntlnti to Dr Ilrformeil

The "Insurance war" In Missouri came
to an end last Tuesday, when about nlno
tenths of tho companies that had with
drawn from tho stato on account of the
laws resumod business under the ugreo
ment that had been reached with tho
attorney general and governor. It was ie
ported that the St. Uoula Underwriters
association would bo reorganised, and
that a reduction In insurance rates was
likely. The at. Louis Oiooo-Uemoornt tells
of tho situation In that city aa follows:
Ulue Monday yesterday skipped offices
In tho Pierce and other buildings occu
pied by fire insurance men. Tno areata
received letters in every mall authorU.ni:
tho writing; of business. Toward sunset,
telegrams bearing the saino inessa'go pro
dominated. Almost nine-tenths of the.
companies which voted at 1'hiladclphla
to leavo Missouri April 30 wilt wrlto poli
cies in the state effective at noon to
day, according to an estlmato by W. D.
Ilnmenway, goncral manager of the In
surance Agency company.
Hemenway received word from twenty
one of the twenty-three companies repre
sented by the Insurance Agoncy company
to ivsumo writing buslners. He said the
other two companies aro In New England
and ho expectx to hear from them today.
Telephone conversations with other agent
had convinced him only a small porccnt
ago of tho companies will be out of the
stato later than today, ho sold.
Homo of tho agents thought tho mes
sages to resume wore effcctlvo on receipt.
As a result, thousands of dollars worth
of unprotected property was covered by
Policies during working hours vesterdsy,
an agent said. However, the policies ware
dated toriav. nml will nnf nrniMt .nlntt
Tire which may utart this morning.
i no HKems siua moy were as nappy
and enthusiastic as when they first
started in the business as youngsters and
welcomed the chance to got down to work
again. They said the salo value of their
agency plants, which they had rated at
almost nothing a week ago, was back to
par. They said by September 1 almost
every employe suspended ponding a set
tlement of the situation, will be back at
the desk or at work out on tho street'
At Kansas City conditions were much
the same, the Journal printing tho fol
lowing: All fire Insurance agencies In Kan
sas ?ltv. which nrni- Mrnllv h.v. loin
dormant for two months and eleven day,
will resume business at high noon todv.
A way to get around the obnoxious Orr
law. the cause of all the trouble In Mis
souri, was brought about throuch .in
agreement between the state officials and
representatives of the old line Insurance
companies known ns board companies
which suspended business In the state
April SO. last.
Before tho companies left the state
trelr agents were given Instructions to
write no policies effective later than May
IS, but all of them werp to be In the
mall and on the way to their respective
headquarters before midnight of April no.

to. expire and obtaining: new on tnr thr
el suing venr. Others whose policies could
net no snon rated were permitted to tax?
out new policies by filing their old onea
vim ngents wun me understanding that
tl e latter would not be nm-il in run t
a loss.
At that time the situation looked des
perates and no one dared even harard
a guess as to when tho storm would be
over. In that way It was said that moro
double Insurance was carried In Missouri
iimn ever Qciore in tne history or any
Himc. uirer inierestn nan to no pro

panies seemed willing to stand hv them
as far as It were possible to do so. even
though they were taking a great risk.
StUI policies affecting big Industries ex
pired every day and the clamor for pro
tection was great
The drouth, while proving a great

FELL PURPOSE OF BANDIT

Ilellovcd to Ue Sinn Who la Seeking;
Someone Who Haa Ho RlRht to
Mnke Late Vlalta In IIIh
rorrered Car.
"Whose Little Wlfle Are YouT" Is not
the title ot the latest rag-time ballad
from the pen of Irving Berlin or any
other artist of like Ilk from New York's
"tin-pan alley" rnuslo factory, but In
stead It Is the gruff exlamatlon of a
masked, armed ruffian who haunta he
roads most frequented by the Omaha joy
riders bound for some of the various road
houses.
That's all the masked one wants to
know, "Whosa little wlfle are you?" Ills
volco Is gruff and harsh, but there Is
a tono of loneliness In It that touches
the hearts of tho terrified joy-riders.
When he gets a reply and peers into the
faces ot the occupants of tho car, the
read agent Blghs, after ordering the party
to move on, disappears In the shrubbery.
This Is the true "road agent" story ac
cording to the police and sheriff.
For the last week, "auto bandit" rumors
eo persistent that they havo caused tho
authorities no end of trouble, have been
floating about In auto circles. Tho story
goes that the agent is parttculatly partial
to the West Center road and the West
Dodge road. He travels in a high power
, car without lights nor number, and Is
V.U11CU nun ihu uuiuinuuc pisioiH. Ac
cording to the story, ho haa stopped
scores of automobiles laden with hilarious
couples bound for various resorts.
ICeepa Motorlata Covered,
He always keeps the party covered with
his pistols while he asks his question:
"Whose little wlfle are you?" and peers
Into the face of each woman pvtsenger.
When he Is satisfied, he orders the car
to move on, and then disappears.
An official says that he thinks he knows
the road agent. "He's not a robber,"
says this official. "He's just a plain cit
izen over-endowed with nerve and hate
for someone he's trying to find out
who.''
The police and sheriff's office discredit
the stories that auto parties have been
held up and robbed, because thus far no
one has reported any losses, and the
Identity of the persons said to have been
stopped and robbed cannot be learned.
They prefer Instead to believe the In
jured husband story.
"Autolsu with Innoeent Intent have
nothing to fear from 'road agents,' " said
Captain of Detectives Maloney yesterday.
"However, there la always moro or less
danger riding with some other fellow's
wife."
One of the leading automobile club offi
cials Is one of the persons who asserts
several auto parties have been held up
and robbed, although he does not know
the nameH of any of the victims
line. This will be found especially true

Aceeaa to the II er
rrimra, Will Omaha's hlRh-toned Country club
become a cold water organisation?
That Is a question whlah Its members
are to be confronted with, as a petition
la In circulation for signatures asking tho
directors to abolish the bar and cut out
the boose altogether.
Borne who are willing to do away with
the drink dispensary favor putting In a
locker system so as to save guests the
humiliation of going dry. Others aro dead
Bet against curtailing the privileges ot
the bar In any respect, and a lively fight
Is promised If the proposition Is pressed.
County club members are decidedly
reticent when tho subject of the cut-out-the-boor.c
proposition Is broached, and
naturally decline to talk about It for pub
lication. "Don't mention the," said one who con
fessed signing up; "but, of course, every
body knows that we have had some
scandalous performances out there this
year, worse than evor before, and most
of it Is to be traced to over-lndulgenco
In Intoxicants. I don't believe any ot us
are prohibitionists, and mighty few of no
tretotalers, but wo want to save the club
for our wives, sons and daughters. We
want to protect the club's repututlon and
avoid humiliation."
Another Country club man predicts that
nothing will come of the present move
ment. "Perhaps the board ought to shut
down a little harder, and draw tho lne
somewhere, but we don't want any milk
end water club. Think of having friends
from out-of-town who expect to ba
ti rated like gentlemen, and offering them
nothing but lemonade and mineral water.
I am not In favor of the looker system,
either, as the way out. It wouldn't
