Uastern Concerns Being Kept
, Out of California Leads
to Retaliation"
rteceuse of a feud between the in
s-urance departments of the states of
California and Nebraska, which Insur
ance Commissioner Wolf of this state
declares is due to a misapprehension of
the eastern stat»? authorities. action
w «s taken yesterday in Lincoln, N>b..
which may d«'bar three California in
surance companies from doing: business
in that state for a considerable period.
The companies affected by the action
of the Nebraska officials are the Fire
man's Fund, the Pacific Mutual and the
Parific Life.
Deputy Auditor Pierce of Nebraska,
is ox ofllcio insurance commis
sioner under Auditor Searle, alleges
that the California authorities have re
fused to recognize the accuracy of the
Nebraska reports an<i that Nebraska
companies have been kept out of Cali
fornia without sufficient reason. The
two companies referred to are the
Bankers" Life of Lincoln sui<i the Bank
-.ers" Reserve Life of Omaha, which re
• cently applied for admission to Cali
fornia.
Insurance Commissioner Wolf, who
has examined the credentials of the two
companies in question, stated last night
that \u25a0whisJe the financial statement of
the Bankers' life fulfills, the require
ments of California law Attorney Gen
eral Webb has found features in con
nection with its charter'and organiza
tion which do not comply exactly with
the requirements, and asked that the
application be held up.
In connection with the Bankers' Re
serve Life the attorney general reported
that its financial statement was not
Satisfactory, as the assets required in
this state are greater than in Nebraska.
and Wolf accordingly requested per
mission to make an examination. A
telegram was sent in reply to private
representatives in San Francisco stat
ing that the company was willing to
have an examination made on condition
that it would not cost over $200 or $300
snd that admission after the examina
tion would be guaranteed.
Insurance Commissioner Wolf states
that the trouble has been caused by a
misapprehension existing in the minds
of the Nebraska authorities, and he yes
terday sent a letter to 4 the Nebraska
officials covering the case in full. He
stated that the action yesterday In Ne
braska Is an attempt to bring pressure
to bear to force the admission of the
Nebraska companies into California.

REPUBLICANS BOLT AT
SANTA ROSA CONVENTION
Delegation of Hundred Quits
Hall After Attempt to Cen
sure Democratic Officials
SPECIAL. DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SANTA ROSA, Feb. 26. — Following a
dispute over indorsing the municipal
nominations of. the Good Government
league. 100 of the leading republicans
of this city bolted the convention held
tonight for the election of delegates
to the republican municipal convention
that is to be held March 6. "At the
opening of the meeting resolutions
were adopted censuring the democrats,
now in power, for licensing houses of
bad repute and for alleged mismanage
ment of city affairs.'.
Following this, R. L. Thompson,
chairman of the republican central com
mittee, presented a resolution to the
efft-ct that the meeting adopt the prin
ciples and nominations of the Good
Government league and go no further.
The resolution was ruled out by Chair
man S. S. Bogle on the ground that' the
meeting had been called for the pur-»
pose of naming delegates, not of nomi
nating officers. He asked for informa
tion as, to the governing body of the
Good Government league, and this not
being forthcoming, the matter was re
ferred to the action of the coming con
vention.
At this point, amid much excitement,
about 100 republicans left the hall.
Subsequently the 90 delegates to the
convention were elected. It is probable
that one wing of the republicans will
fuse with the democrats to fight a com
bination, of dissenting republicans and
Cood Government people.

SALT CO. SEEKS TO
REOPEN ITS CASE
Sudden Change of Mind by
Judge Wellborn Leads to
Mandamus Suit
An application for a writ of mandate
to compel Judge Wellborn of the Unit
ed States district court of Los Angeles
to proceed with a hearing after he
had ordered the case dismissed, was
filed yesterday in the United States
circuit court of appeals on behalf of
the New Liverpool salt company.
Last December the salt company ob
tained an injunction against the Cali
fornia development company restrain
ing that company from operating its
canal system ov-er lands owned by the
salt in Riverside county.
Damages amounting to nearly $500,000
were awarded the salt company. The
case was decided by Judge Wellborn
while sitting in the circuit court in
the ninth district.
Subsequent to the decree of Judge
Wellborn the attorneys for i the New
Liverpool company, .who are Page, Mc-
Cutchen & Knight, discovered that an
error had been made in describing cer
tain lands owned by the salt company.
With the consent of the counsel for the
defense an application was made to
Judge Wellborn to make a correction
of the records describing the land,
which was claimed to have been dam
aged by the California development
company. Judge Wellborn ordered the
clerk of the court to make the cor
rections.
The decision was made December 31,
1907, and the order permitting the
correction 'of the land boundary lines
February 10. -\u25a0\u25a0 A few days later Judge
Wellborn notified the attorneys for
both sides that there were grave doubts
In his mind as to the validity of his
order, and after further consideration
he made a ruling rescinding his origi
nal decision, which was in favor of the
salt company. This decision of Judge
Wellborn was made after the salt com
pany had filed a complaint against the
development company charging that it
had violated the court's injunction. >
Judge Wellborn ruled that the de
velopment company could not be guilty
of contempt when the , land" which it
was supposed to have damaged was
not owned by the plaintiffs. Judge
Wellborn. ruled that the hearing on' the
contempt charge should be dismissed
and that the continuance which was
granted in the original suit be set
aside.
\u25a0 According to' Judge Wellborn's rul
ing the salt company; cannot- go on
with its suits against the development
company, which is by the
Southern Pacific company. The hear
ing on the writ of mandate application
will take place before Judges, Gilbert,
Rons and Morrow. The New Liverpool
salt company owns large tracts of land
in Riverside county and they claimed
that their business was ruined when
the Intakes constructed: by the devel
opment company; overflowed.
