That all policies now ont-Htamliug would be called in andean-celled aud other matters of this kind. Without giving the matter serious nought aud acting on the spur of the moment, we signed the telegrams and petition above mentioned. Now, we think we understand the effect of the law as it is prepared and spoken of in tbe daily press as the Arkansas law, aud, realizing the fact that' we have been imposed on by the tire insurance companies in the way of high rates, and feeling that the trust should be snppressed, we hereby ask that yon do not consider the telegrams that we now see were dictated by the fire insurance companies and which we signed, as we now see, solely fov their benefit and in order that the trust ma be longer tolerated in Texas. We see from this morning's paper that such telegrams were sent to members of the legislature from all over the state, and knowing their real origin, we 4eeui it right to advise you as to the end that yon may not be iuipised on as we have been.
