STATE HAIL FUND CAN'TPAY IN FULL Chief Adjuster Relieves losses Will Exceed $235,000 Available in the State Treasury. L. G. Brian, eh'ef adjuster for state hail insurance, is still buried in a mass of claims filed. Many of thesq have not been adjusted but when he last made an estimate of losses on file, the total was $206,000. Mr. Bri an is not positive for the amount of funds in the state treasury available for payment of hail losses, but he estimates it at $235;000. The claims are coming at such a rate that he now believes the state hail fund available will not be sufficient to pay loses in full. If the fund on hand, when loses are paid, is suffi cient the policy holders will receive their pro-rata share of the fund. Last year losses did not exceed $135,000 and were paid in full. The year be fore losses were pro-rated, there be ing insufficient money to pay in full. TEACHERS OF CITY SCHOOLS The board of education and Super intendent O. E.

Wallace of Omaha Receives Fine From Judge Eeeson For Violating Volstead Act. IMPORTANCE OF STATEGUARD CAMP Besides Advertisement of the City It Means a Great Deal in a Financial Way. The encampment of the Nebraska national guard is to be held in this city from August 14th to 29th and is one of the biggest events of the year for the community and one in which all of the citizenship should join to make a great success as it is not only the means of advertising the city but it means that there will be a great deal of money expended here in the time the troops are here for their stay. With the full strength of 1,500 men in camp there is going to be a great deal or individual spending for personal use and pleasure of the guard and as well the government will spend ho little sum in the sup plies that will be necessary to con duct the camp.' It is a safe estimate that $30,000 will be expended at least during the time of the stay of the guard. With the recognition of the state of this city by sending the nnnunl encampment here the citizens should do all in their power to make the stay of the citizens soldiers as pleas ant as posible and provide any en tertainment that they can to make the two weeks in camp as pleasant as they can for the boys. Tho encampment will bring com panies from all over the state and it is a real opportunity for the city to show that they are apreciative of the fact that the stnte has sent their troops here to the best town in the state.

Yesterday afternoon William II. Wallace, who claims his residence in the state metropolis, was a caller at the office of Judge Allen J. Beeson and answering to the charge of transportation of liquor, contrary td the peace and dignity of the State of; Nebraska. The transporter was se cured by Sheriff Quinton out in the vicinity of Greenwood where he had been reported as plying a line of li quor transportation and the sheriff caused the ceasing of the supply of moist goods. The court after hear ing the complaint derided that the defendant should contribute the sum of $100 and trimmings to the funds of Cass county and which he did. j The court also ordered the confisca tion of the Ford car of Mr. Wallace in which the booze had been capture I and which will be sold by Sheriff Quinton in compliance with the state law. UNDERGOES OPERATION Last Friday Miss Etta Nickles, ac companied by her physician, Dr. H. C. Leopold, and her brother-in-law J. D. Wurdemanwcnt to Kirksville, Mo., where Miss Etta underwent an operation for the removal of gall stones which have given her much trouble for some time. The operation was one of mmh success and while it is be li?ved that there were as many as 500 of the stones removed, only of the larger sized 423 were counted, j Miss Nickles is getting along nicely and a letter from her bedside gives hopes of an early and permanent cure from the trouble which has been troubling this excellent lady. Whether a livestock insurance company can limit the coverage of policies issued on animals to a elesig nated location is the question sub mitted to the supreme court in the appeal of the American Livestock in rurance company of Omaha from a judgment of the Seward county dis trict court that gave Will Hannah of Utica $1,000. It is insisted by the company that a contract providing that it shall not be liable for damages "or death if these occur in any other place than that designated is valid and enforce able and must be given its full legal effect by the courts. It is admitted that the tendency of the courts in their decisions has been to construe forfeiture clauses strongly against the insurer, but it is contended that where a contract is explicit and plain in its provisions they also construe it in just the same way they would if it were a contract between natural persons. In this case the policy limited the location to designated places, but the injury which resulted in the death of the purebred hog, "Big Mary," so ir.pured, was incurred at a third print not named. It also said that forfeiture would follow if used for other purposes. The plaintiff admit ted that the contract had been reach ed in the matter of location, and the court held that it didn't matter be cause the provision was not valid and enforceable. .AIL HEADS REJECT PEACE PARLEY TERMS EXECUTIVES AT PEACE CONFER ENCE TURN DOWN PRESI DENT'S PROPOSALS.

Randall's Plurality Over McMnllen Fotnd to be 013 Norton Dis qualified as Progressive. Official abstract of the vote in the last county in the state was received Tuesday morning at the office of the secretary of state and tabulation was completed. Barring the possibility of slight errors which may have been made in this tabulation Randall has a plurality of 913 as republican can didate for governor, Bryan's plural ity as democratic candidate for the same office is 3,650 and Norton's lead for the progressive nomination is 772. The complete vote for republican candidate for governor was Randall 49,756; McMnllen. 4S.S43; Byrum, 12,103; Sterling, 8.565. The total vote for democratic can didate for governor was Bryan 28, 209; Butler. 24.553; Norton, 19, 5S9; Maupin, 6,407. The progressive vote for governor was Norton, 4,522; Taylor 3 7Krt. Owing to the fact that Mr. Norton did not also land the democratic nomination he is disqualified under the law from continuing as the pro gresive candidate and that party is without a nominee for governor. New York, Aug. 1. Railroad ex ecutives of the nation today firmly, but courteously rejected the pro gram advanced by the Harding ad ministration for settlement of the rail strike. Willing to accept, conditionally, two suggestions put forward by the White House that both side3 abide by wage "decisions of the rail road labor board and that lawsuits springing out of the strike be with drawn the heads of 148 roads declared emphatically that it was impossible to reinstate strikers with unimpaired seniority rights, the third provision in the president's plan. After being told by Robert S. Lov ett of the Union Pacific, that there was no moral or practical reason for budging from their position, the ex ecutives disbanded, caught the first trains for their respective headquar ters, and indicated that they were going ahead and would operate their roads with the for'-es they had as sembled since the shopmen's walkout on July 1. Decision is .Prompt The decision not to yield on the question . of seniority was made known to tho White House by tele graph after the rajl heads had lis tened to a 20-minute address by Sec retary of Commerce Hoover, who. as direct representative of tho presi dent, told them, in effect, that the administration held the seniority question of minor importance in com parison with that of puholding the railroad labor board. This action was taken in the face of a letter from President Harding addressed to T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the American Asocia tion of Railway Executives, embody ing "the terms of agreement, as I , understood them, upon which the railway managers and united shop; craft workers are to agree, prelim-j inary to calling off the existing Ktrike." President Harding had closed his letter with these two sentences: 'I need hardly add that I have reason to believe these terms will be accepted by the workers. If there is good reason why the managers cannot accept, they will be obliged to open direct negotiations or as sume full responsibility for the situ ation." Want Reply Emphatic In addition. Secretary Hoover had urged upon the executives at their morning session, when the text of the Harding letter was read, that settlement of the rail strike was im perative in view of the complicating conditions introduced by the coal strike. The only question which arose during the short period during which the president's proposal was under active discussion was how emphatic ally the reply rejecting his plan should be worded. In the balloting each road was given one vote for each 1,000 miles of track it operated. The reply draft ed during the noon recess by the standing committee, was adopted by a vote of 265 to 2. THE C.
