The de fendants) against whom information was tiled in police; court at 3 o'clock Thursday nfUTiioon aro: C. M. Harris, president; , I' W. Miller, ex-president; ('. C. White, treasurer, and F. II. llllllker, secretary.'; Th.flo were olIlceiH prior to tho appointment o.' a receiver a few days ago. Larceny and embezzlement nre tho specific nl eg.it Ions preferred by the county attorney. Ho ha for several weeks been working to sreuru evidence upon which to baae crimi nal i nmplalnts. Them will probably be somo dlfllculty In loiutliiK the defendants. Harris Is the only n who has recently been In Omaha, and it la said that he left the city several days ' ngo. An olfort was mude to servo papers tiion him Wednesday In connection with the application llled In district court for the JIo- chaige of tho receiver, and It was stated at j In boarding house that ho. was not In the , i ii v. It Is believed by the authorities that j the entire official directory of the hall as him latum Is in Minneotn, but at whut place 1j not known. Miller has not been president of the ron c.n for several months. He resigned and was succoedod by HarrlH, who had prior to Miller's resignation been vlco presldcut. InveMtlf ittlon HculllM. Tho Investigation by tho county attorney began soon aftor a receiver waH appointed, for i hero was then ample opportunity for Investigation of tho books of tho company. The Information Is drawn up at great length find in addition to tho llrst, In which the larceny and embezzlement of $l,00 Is charged against Harris, llllllker and White, tu'piiraic information is also tiled against tho ollh-ert as Individuals and their alleged pec ulations aro I luted In sums ranging all the way from $700 to $2,500. The double charge of larceny and embezzlement Is carried all ilm ay through. Tho grand total of nil the alleged pilfering aggregates somewher" near 10.000, In which It Is alleged that all wore about equally concerned. The (train (Jrowcrs' Mutual Hall nssocl t tlon has had h tempestuous existence from the time of Its organization. It purported to he a co-operative concern whereby crops would bo Insured. Many of the most rcspon Hible farmers la tho state became Interested. Tho promoters of the scheme aro not farmers, but they claimed to havo long been Identified with the agricultural classes, nml for a time they won tho cotilldence of Nebraska soil tillers. Hut rucnors of u dis couraging nature began to II oat about and investigation convinced somo of tho stock holders that something was wrong. Tho promoters ci'.mo to Nebraska from Minne sota, whero It Is said they operated the batno scheme, but not so extensively as to Ket Into tho criminal courts. KITort In Iteoruiinl.e. It is generally agreed that tho Insurance plan la u good ono If properly condii"'. d, and Minio of tho moro prominent farmers who bate been Induced to Interest tbem solvett have undertaken to lift the Institu tion out of the hnnd.s of u receiver and conduct It themselves. This, of collide, means complete, reorganization. Tco appli cation for tho discharge of the receiver has Juh been filed and the courts havo not yet passed upon It. The basis of the applica tion Is tho allegation that tho appointment of a receiver was Instigated by the nccuml oCcora of tho concern and tn tho detriment of tho Innocent member. Tl-o Grain Crow em' Mutual Hall associa tion was conducted in a most energetic mnn Jier. no matter what clue may be said of It, for Its business extended to every part of tho ntnte. Thousands of dollars of pollclcH were written and losNrn occurred from tlmo to time, hut tho policy holders found It dlf llcult to make collection. It Is alleged. Num erous HUlts by lley holders nro now pend ing in the district courts, tho Idea being to force payment of louses. It Is raid that the Investigation mndo thus far Indicates that tho greater part of tho money taken was dis bursed In salaries to the various ofllcers or appropriated by them outright. At least that Is tho lino along which tho prosecution 1MII make Its light.

Chlof of Police Donahue received a letter yesterday from tho city marshal of Greeley, Colo., reporting tho liudlug of a dead man In n freight car at thnt place a few days ngo. It Is believed that tho man formerly lived In Omaha. Tho chief will tel on foot an Investigation nnd endeavor to establish his Identity. Hero is tho letter: "OHEELEY, Colo., Feb. 15. Chief of Po lice, Omahn Dear Sir: On Februury 8 wo found a man dead In a freight car, nnd ns near ns wo can find out tho man had been In tho car somo ten or fourteen dayu. On his person were found some letters, giv ing tho namo of James llanlyn, Sioux Falls, S. I). He nlso had cards of tho Oxford hotel, Omaha, and on these cards In several places appear the names of J. D. Nold, IJenlrlco Ilartlett and Chnrlcts Tracy, nil In different handwriting. It looks as If tho man had been writing tho names In con templation of forgttry. I tnko It-that tho above named partleM nro Omaha business men. "Tho dead man's clothes were nil new; his overcoat was folded up and placed under his head. Ho was found In tho Ice box of a refrigerator car (no Ice), I have had "photogrnpho taken of him, which will bo ready In n. few days, and will send you ono If you wish.

A man giving this namo arrived in tho city about tho middle of January nnd registered nt tho .Metropolitan hotel. Ho said he was n hotel clerk, and had contracted to go to Colorado to work for the Markel hotel sys tem. He answers the description received from Greeley. About two weeks ago ho left Omaha for tho west, leaving his valise at the hotel. Two days later tho Metropolitan clerk re ceived n letter from him, written nt Lara mie, Wyo., giving Instructions as to tho disposition of tho valise, nnd this, co fai ns known, was tho last heard of hlra alive.

Surrogato Fitz gerald today handed down a decision denying tho application or Henry U. Anderson for a court order declaring tho trust fund of $5,000,000 created by tho will of tho Into William H. Vanderbilt' exempt from In horltanco tax. Tho surrogato directs that tbe tax bo assessed against the fund. Under tho will of William II. Vanderbilt a trust fund of $5,000,000 was created for the benefit of his grandchildren, tho chil dren of his son, Cornelius 'Vanderbilt Cornelius Vundorbllt held tho fund In trust wljh discretionary power to distribute It nmong his children. Tho counsel for (in Vnndorbllt heirs contended that tho grand children of William H. Vanderbilt hnd a vested right In tho fund from the moment that William H. Vanderbllt's will -vas pro bated. As tho will of William H. Vander bilt was admitted to probato before tho In heritance tnx law went Into force. It was contended that the fund was not subject to tax. Tho surrogate's decision In effect holds that the children took tltlo In tho fund only after its distribution under tho will nt Cornelius Vanderbilt, und that thcreforo It Is subject under tho Inheritance tax.
