Insurance Agent Held.
Helena, Oct. 2.—Deputy Pros
ecuting Attorney S. W. Adams
today filed information against
Bruce B. McKin, representing
the Lumbermen’s Underwriting
Alliance, charging him with so
liciting and representing an
.unauthorized insurance com
pany. Prosecutor Adams
charges that the Lumberman’s
Underwriting Alliance of Kan
*• sas City, Mo., has not complied
with the laws of Arkansas in
reference to insurance compan
ies.
McKin was taken into susto
dy and later released on bond.
Through agreement the case
will be tried October 20. The
result is of much importance to
the legally authorized insurance
companies of the state. The
I Lumberman’s Underwriting Al
liance, which is represented by
. U. S. Epperson & Co., as attor
I neys, does business among lum
bermen solely and it is expected
I they will fight the case against
their agent vigorously.
Will Institute Bill Again.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 3.—Robert
S. Warnock, the Magnolia bank
er who last year failed to get
his bank guaranty bill initiated
because there were too many
ahead of it, even though the re
quired number petitioned that it
be, while in Little Rock Thurs
day stated he would again ini
tiate a bank guaranty bill.
While a member of the legisla
ture Mr. Warnock fought for
the bank guaranty feature of
the banking bill, but was never
successful- He then tried initia
tion under the Initiative and Re
ferendum, but was not discour
aged when his bill was not
placed before the people, even
though the next legislature
again failed to pass a bill em
bodying it. Mr. Warnock is a
candidate for Congress in the
Eighth district, opposing W. S.
Goodwin. He has invited Con
gressman Goodwin to meet him
in a joint canvass of the district,
and hopes for a favorable reply
when Congressman Goodwin re
turns from Washington before
the end of the month.
