The Missouri department has ruled that I nonresident flro Insurance companies, may not writo policies or transact busl ness In tho state, except through an aaent who Is n resident of Missouri. Tho Ohio fire marshal reports that tho total number of Incendiary fires for 1913 Is about one-third the number which oc curred during tho first year ot the de partment's operation. Several organized gangs of firebugs have been driven out and the public generally understands that suspicious nres aro carciuuy iiiir.... The fire insurance companies have been notified that the anti-rebate law of V. Is consln will be Btrlctly enforced and are asking their agents to comply carefullj with Its prohibitions. The law provides that extension of credit to tho Insured over sixty days fr6m the time the in surance Is written, without interest, or with Interest at less than the legal rate after Blxty days, is In violation of the law. The code of fire prevention ordinances for small towns recently Issued by the National Board of Flro Underwriters seems to meet a long-felt want. Numer ous applications are coming In for It to tho committee on publicity and educa tion. Tho Missouri Insurance code com mission, which Is making a specialty of flro prevention in Its various hearings throughout the state. Is advocating the adoption of these ordinances. The agents of tho Prudential Life made a remarkable record In the special cam paign for new business in October, in honor of the completion of twenty-five years of service, with the company by President Dryden. During four weeks industrial policies to the number of 178,- 894 werrf written, n ratio of 19.9 policies per agent, with ordinary bus'ness amount ing to J37.ww.ww. ui iniB i.wu.wi was written by Industrial agcntB and $G,C0O,0O0 by tho ordinary agents. Insurance Commissioner Wlnshlp of Michigan has declared that his ruling niralnst nonresident agents is not restricted to fire Insurance alone, but applies as well to lire and casualty insur ance. In consequonco a nomo onice agent of a company or a general agent from another staio can not assist a Michigan life Insurance agent In writing insurance or have anything to do with tho production of the business.

Tho Dewey hotel broke Into flame Just a few minutes before 6 o'clock In the morning, on the last day of February, Within five minutes, every nventie of escnio wns blocked by walls of scarlet flame, and the unfortunates who had not already left tho place 'were doomed. It was a hitter cold day, and those who did escape nllve faced pneumonia, In scanty nttlro until thoy -could find shelter from tho crlicl winds And biting cold. Many of these Afterwards were 111 for Reeks, Tfio Dewey hotel was a second class hotel. At tho time ot the fire, however, there were several state conventions here, and -as nit ot the other hotels were packed to the roofs, visitors were forced to lodge there. Immediately after tho Dewey hotel holocaust, n great hue And cry was made about other lodging houses and hotels being unsafe. Stato Pire Commissioner Rlgdclt nnd deputies visited every hotel, made recommendations, a few alight changes and the Dewey incident was swallowed up In the horror of the Omaha. tornado which followed ft tew weeks afterwards. Today, there are In Omaha hotels just as much unsafe as was tho Ill-fated Dewey. Tho Dewey hotel was fully covered by Insurance, and the lives of most of the ictlms were Insured for small amounts. Within the last few weeks, tho courts havo awarded heirs to several of those who tost their lives, large amounts ot money for damages, On the situ of the Dewey hottt now Is tV six-story steel and concrete fire proof building, which will, within a fow weeks, bo occupied by a large printing and bindery concern.
