BickerstafF Says Present Statutes
Discriminate in Favor of
Foreign Competitors.
"If the Legislature fails to pa«s the
Me ad era bill allowing Georgia fire in
surance companies the statutory right
to invest in stocks it will have the
effect of forcing several Georgia com
panies out of existence,” said Charles
A. Bickerstaff, of the Atlanta Home
Insurance Company, Friday in com
menting on some of the objections
raised against the proposed measure.
Mr. Bickerstaff declared several of
the companies would be unable to
pay dividends if their investments
were hampered and restricted to an
extent that would prevent them from
purchasing securities that woufd yield
them a sufficient IncorrA-.
“The bill introduced by Mr. Mead-

Tuesday it is proposed to place on

certain what they know of the work

The witnesses examined so far who

candidate the same evening, told of
receiving the "branding” stunt. He
Raid he felt the shock, but was not
afraid. While for a few minutes he
left the sensation, he’got over it.

The scene in the courtroom was 1

LOS ANGELES, Aug 1. Tommy
Burns, manager of Arthur Pelky, and

hook up In an interesting battle of in
vectives ami nenr-blows within a day
or two.
Jones wants to match. Willard against,
Pelky, but Burns in a telegram to-day
says that Willard must go get a reputa
tion before presuming to challenge a
champion
"Gunboat Smith is the man Pelky
wants to meet," said Burns. "Smith beat
Willard, and then again. Charley Miller
shaded the Kansas scrapper. Let him
get a ‘rep’ for himself."
This sort of language is the sort that
makes .Tones glad he is alive, for he
thrives on argument.
When did Pelky whip Willard or any
body of consequence until be landed a
lucky punch on Luther McCarty?” asks
Jones. "Willard can whip Pelky. ami
Burns can name his own terms. Pelky
took one beating from Willard and
wants no more."
