circumstances a suit for penalties for
writing insurance without a license
might be instituted, but the license
should not be forfeited. The man
involved made a contract in Decem-

but was not deily licensed until July
Mr. Gill finds he thought he was
licensed, however, and refuses to
cancel his license on this ground

Advices received by the Railroad
Commission since the meeting with
general managers to discuss ways
and means to provide better passen-
ger and freight service with regard
to delays indicate that a number of
lines have substantially improved
their service. Commissioner Wil-
liams said yesterday that the com-
mission is duly appreciative of this
fact, though the Improvement has
not been as general as the commis-
sion desired. There are still com-
plaints coming in as to some of the
roads, principally the Houston and
Texas Central. Three vigorous tele-
grams regarding delayed freight
service on that line were received
yesterday. The commission hopes
the roads which have not improved
their service as was desired will do
so. If they should not further ac-
tion on the part of the State offi-
cials might be necessary.
