Decline to Write New Busi-
ness at the Figures Fixed
by the State Commission.
NO BELIEF IN
SIGHT JUST NOW
Senator Hudspeth Thinks It
Will Be Necessary to Wait
For Legislature.
The insurance companies have played
their trump card. In. circular letters
sent to the El Paso local agents the
insurance companies doing 'business in j
Texas have notified their El Paso rep- !
resentatives that ifhey -will not renew
policies expiring after July 11 where the
property to be insured is either a mer-
cantile risk or is exposed by a mercan-
tile rfek.
Neither are the agents allowed to i
write new policies on the mercantile
risks under the revised rates which "were
announced by the state fire rating board
on June 28 and any renewals -which tad.
already been made upon policies due to !
evnirp on nr after the llch are ordered
to be canceled and the policy returned J
to the eompanr marked "spoiled.-"
The reason given bj" the insurance
companies for this radical action is tJiat
thev have been unable to satisfy them-
selves that they can afford to assume
the risks at the rates which were or-
dered by the rating board.
This "means that El Paso merdiants
whose insurance policies -will empire in
the immediate future will be deprived
f insurance until the legislature takes I
some action at its special session on
Julv 19 or the insurance companies de-
cide to accept tsxe new business at the
reduced rates. Isot all of the local
agents in El Paso have received these
notifications but it is vhought that the
action of the insurance companies is a
concerted one and will include all of
the companies doing business
in the j
state-
There seems to be no immediate relief
for the insurance situation and a num-
ber of business men wiH be deprived of
insurance protection. The mutual com-
panies are not able to carry a sufficient
amount of insurance to offer an ade-
quate means of protection -for- the heav-
ilv insured business district the local
agents say. while little or no aid from
foreign companies can be expected as
these same agents say that all of the
reliable companies are now operating in
Texas.
Senator Claude B. Hudspeth stated
Monday morning that no relief could
be obtained by means of a temporary
in function restraining the companies
from canceling their policies or refusin"-
to write new business The insurance
law under "which the companies are now
operating Senator Hudspeth said was
framed for the eonpanies arid it is his
opinion that it would be impossible to
enjoin the companies under the existing
law.

seriously stabbed that he cannot live.
Many citizens were hauled off to the
hospitals with broken heads and
limbs while the Puebla jail was filled
with men arrested.
The students of the Puebla univer-
sity desired to pmitest at the manner
in which the elections had been held
but were prevented by the authorities.
Finally last Thursday night a number
of the students and professors decided
to hold the parade of protest anyhow.
They did. The police were called and
failed to disperse the paraders. Then
the gendarmes came and the tigl-t
t opened. Tbe mounted police in reality
cavalry were called. The fight lasted
two hours. After quiet had been re-
stored nobody was allowed on t!e
street the rest of the night; and the
university was placed under guard.

mits allowing them to pass the gua-d

On the night of June 24. 190S a few
men residing in the vicinity of Viesca
entered the town of Viesca and at-
tacked the house of the jefe politico
but he had been called to Torreon tho
night before and was not killed. The
police resented the attack and several
of them were killed. The postoffice
and federal stamp offices were broken
into and rifled. A larage amount of
money was taken ami the rioters pro-
ceeded to destroy a small" railroad
bridge whch delayed traffic.
RevolHtioR Attempted.
The news that a revolution had been
started caused consternation and prep-
arations were hurriedly made to defend
Torreon against "the approaching-
army." This "army" finally turned out
to be a body of about 60 men. many of
them ignorant peons led by foremen of
some of the ranches who had been In
spired by leaders in the .United States
stating the time for a revolution was
at hand. This was at the same time of
j the uprisings at Las Vacas and Pa-
j lomas.
The small band never reached Tor-
reon as it was unable to find any fol-
lowers along the line of march. As
soon as the report was heard that the
soldiers had been called out. the in-
. surgents disbanded and made for the
1 mountains scattering as they ran. I
required several days for the soldiers
to capture the leaders and most of the
followers.
The judge of this district convicted!
most of the conspirators sentencing
them according to their responsibility.
