WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. No legislative business of importance was transacted by the senate today. The session was devoted to services held In memory of tho late Senator Cimr-man K. Davis of Minnesota. Tho long and distinguished servlco of tho senator and the Intlmato relations lie sus tained to his colleague- In tho senate had endeared him to all, and when his demise camo every member of tho body felt that ho had Buffered a personal loss. For many years Mr. Davis served as chairman ot tho commlttco on foreign re lations, nnd In tlmt capacity and In the capacity of tho member of tho Paris peace commission ho was Intimately Identified with tho foreign affnirs of tho government. Immediately upon tho conclusion of tho routine rooming business Mr. Nelson of Minnesota called up his resolution exprrs olvo of the regret of the senate nt tho denth of Senator Davis. As Mr. Nelson called up tho resolution Mrs. Davis, accompanied by some friends, entered tho cxecutlvo gallery of tho senate. In addition several other friends of tho latn senator occupied seats In the executive gal lery during tho delivery of the memorial orations. Tho speakers of tho occasion Included Senators Morgan of Alaunma, Clark of Wyo ming, Lodgo of Massachusetts and Daniel sf Virginia, nil ot whom were associated with Mr. Davis as members of the foreign relations committee. Others who pro nounced eulogies upon the late Bcnntor woro his colleague. Senator Nelson, nnd his succossor, Senator Towne, anil Senators Hoar of Massachusetts, Spoonor of Wiscon sin, McCumbor of North Dakota and Foster of Washington. In recent years In the sonnto no more beautiful, heartfelt and eloquent culogloB havo been pronounced upon tho memory of any senator than thoso delivered todny, as Mr. Davis' peculiarly closo associations with members on both sides of the chamber endcored him to nil and without regard to political adulations ho wns held In hlch esteem by every member of tho body.

Mr. Cntchings ot Massachusetts, a member of the committee, replied nt some length to the nttuck made by Mr. Hepburn of Iowa upon tho Mississippi river improvements on Thursday. Mr. Cntchings snld ho hod In dulged tho hope that beforo ho retired from congress Mr. Hepburn would have abandoned his nntugonism to appropriations for tho .Mississippi river. "Out after listening to his speech on Thursday," snld Mr. Catchlngs, "I And thnt hope consigned to, tho Umbo whero Ilo the wrcckago of tho other disappointments ot my life." Proceeding Mr. Catchlngs denied that tho commerco of tho Mississippi was dis appearing. Its chnrnctcr had vastly changed slnco the old days, but Its volume wns as largo ns ever. Ilcforo closing Mr. Catchlngs took up a newspaper criticism of his efforts In bo half of tho river and harbor Improvements that had been written by Patrick Henry, who Is to succeed him In congress, nnd re plied to It at somo length. He should not hnvo noticed the attack, ho said, had Mr. Hepburn not mndo ubo of It on Thursday. In concluding Mr. Catchlngs said this would probably bo tho last time ho would ad dress tho houso In bchnlf of tho improve ment of tho lower Mississippi, which ho hnd so much ot heart. Ho was tumultuously applaudod when ho took IiIb sent. Mr, Maun of Illinois followed with somo criticism of tho bill on tho ground that It 'did not do Justice to tho great city of Chi Jcngo, where much of the commerce of the great lakes originated. I Mr. Dorolng of Kentucky made nn ear IncBt plea for an appropriation for the upper Cumberland river. Mr. Thomus of Iowa criticised the com- mltteo for what ho tailed Its Inconsistent policy in making appropriations, claiming that the commlttco favored somo locnll ties and neglected others.

(Spcclal.)-In nn opinion given to tho Nebraska Fraternal congress today Auditor Weston mndo an Impartial ruling relative to the consolidation of fraternal Insurance comunnlcs. His position on this question Is that the only way any person can bocomo a member of a fraternal beneficiary ncsoclatlou is by mak ing n formal npplleatlcr for membership and passing tho required medical examina tion, or In other words, that ho cannot be transferred from ono soclctv to nnother against his own will, or unless ho repents tho process by which he Joined tho first or ganltallon, Tho ruling will affect tho people who have been transferred Into tho Hankers' union of Omaha by riders uttnehed to tho certlllcatcs of other societies and who havo been ad mitted to membership without having first passed a physical examination. Tho Hankers' union, by various means, transferred the membership of tunny socl ottos to their organization, notably the Ilusl iicsb Men's fraternity, tho York Mutual, tho Industrial Mutual, tho Independent Work man, tho Hoyal Oaks, tho Knights of tho Forest, nnd recently nn attempt has been mado to transfer the Sons nnd Daughters of Protection. Tho ruling of tho -auditor brings out tho fact that certlllcatcs obtained without examination or guaranties by riders attached to the certificates arc not legal and could not bo mndo valid claims tor insurance In caso of death. The ofllcern ot the Nebraska Fraternal congress assert thnt tho matter was iIIb cussed ut tho time of tho meeting ot tho congress on December 11 lust. Tho legUla tlvo committee, was requested to take tho matter up with the auditor at that time. This wns delayed until tho new auditor took charge of tho affulrs of tho otllco. Tho fratcrnnl societies of tho stuto will ho In terested in tho ponlLoti taken by tho auditor, as his opinion settles a question that has caused much trouble In tho past. Tho Aiidttor'n Idillim. Tho auditor's ruling Is as follows: To tho Nebraska Fraternal Congress: Qentlcmen I nm In receipt of yours of yesterday requesting an onlnlon or rulliiK. ns you term It, upon three questions, which I will gladly answer. Hut, before consider ing your questions directly, I deslro to say that ull tho nuthorlty In this state for it fraternnl benetlclnry association to organize and thereafter to exist Is found In chanter xlvll. Session Laws of 1S!7, page 2Ctl. Such associations have mich powers nnd only such ns nre conferred on them by this uct. The net clearly sots out how much un asso ciation enn bo organized and how regulated nrier organization, tho organization anil conduct of business afterward Is absolutely Independent of every other organization nnd name only ror its own nets and manage ment of its own affairs. L'uder this uct un association consists of Its entire member ship and tho officers Its legal head, with Hitch power nnd authority nn this net nnd mo coiisutution unci iiyiaws or tno associa tion that nro not In cunlllct with thin act shall confer on them. Question 1 Can the members of a frater nal benetlclnry association tnko in tho mem- burs of n similar association without re medical examinations? Section 19 of tno act nnovo mentioned clearly answers this question. It suys; "Uvery applicant for bcnellclnl membership In nny such society doing buslnc: in this stuto shall first be examined hy u physician duly authorized to practice medicine within un state." Hcctlon -u connrmx tins obli gation by requiring that air members shall "have been duly examined and recom mended by n reputable physician." Question i L tin sucti association nttacli a rider to tho policies of the members of a similar association, by the terms of which such association shall agree to meet nil tho obligations of such policies, subject to all the conditions uiereor, including tue rale of assessment? Hltiiiillntlo Work n Flint lloiiiilnllo. I am of the onlnlon thnt a rider such as you havo described In this question would not admit n member from ono association to tho lodge of nnother and a lodco with ritualistic work Is one of tho II rut requisites of organization. Section 2 provides that "hucii society snail muao provisions tor uto payment of benefits In caso of death, etc." Further nlong In the same section It sayn, "Provided the payment of such benefits In ull ('.INCH shall bo subject to compliance by the member, with the eontrnct, constitution, rules nnd laws of the society," nnd tho society can mean no other than the ono of which ho or she Is connected. I can see no way that by a ruler agreement or one society or association It can legally enrry out tho rules und laws of another society. I'sunlly tlicHo rules and laws, or at least somo of them, are a purt of their secret lodge work. The words, "such society." aro in the singular number and run have but ono meaning and that Is tho one society In which the certificate holder Iihn become n member by having been examined and rec ommended by a reputnblu physician nnd Joining the lodge. I urn of tho opinion that no person can become u legal member of such an associa tion without first belnK duly examined by a reputnblo physician for tho association Is suing tno ccriiiicatcH, Question 3 Has Bitch fraternnl beneficiary association any authority In law to iiilmlt bonellclul members, iinuer any circum stances or conditions, In nnv other man nor than prescribed by law for the udmls ntnn of new members? This question has practically been an Hwrred bv ntiHwerlnit tho other two. No person can become a beneficial member of tin nsKticiaiion orKiiiuzeu hiiuit iiih huovu net without liavlnu been duly examined and recommended by n reputublo physician, ap pointed iiy or cmpioyc-ii zor ham iissocia tlou, and Joining tho lodgo of suld ttssoclu tlou. Yours truly, CHAIILEH WESTON, Auditor Public Accounts. II A. HAHCOCK, Deputy, insurance Department. u I.ruul Wny (o Coiinolldiili. It will be noticed that this ruling upholds the law govornlng fraternal boncllclary so SENT HOME. I'liynlvliinn In (iorniuiiy .Send I'utlontn to America fur Food. Two clorgymon who went to Germany last year for treatment by a noted special ist wcro told that they must ubo Grape Nuts, mado In America, at Ilaltlo Crcok, Mich., for the principal part of each meal This suggestion Interested tho two di vines greatly, for whllo they know ot Grnpo-Nuts nnd that tbcru was a lm'go ubo mado of the food in America, it had never como their wny to try It. A lady In Heddlng, N. H., Mr, Otis Cole, says the after effect of the grip was a sorlous custrlo and stomach trouble. All the following summer sho had many uttackB ot palpitation of the heart, nausea, pain, fnlntncBB, insomnia, and all tho other Ills which nccorapnuy Impaired nerve force, and Indigestion, Sho began using Grnpo-Nuts to build het up and found at onco that tho food created no disturbance and she began to gain in strength and courage. In Octobei sho went for n vIhU and took Grape-Nuts with nor to uao each day. Sho gulned 10 poundi- In weight In about four months nnd -fully recovered her health. Sho further tays: "Whllo I am now en tlroly well, I shall probably odhero to Grapo-Nuts during tho balance of my lite My hrothcr-ln-law. a practicing physician, says Grnpe-Nuts Blmmcred In milk, strained and tho clear liquid given, forms nu Ideal nourishment In casca of oxtrcmo prostrn Hon, and Its stimulating effort Is not ccd I in mediately. A friend of mine, n professional render, carries a packago of Grape-Nuts in her hand-bag, for sho says tho exhaustion aftor an evening's work, will not admit of lunching on ordinary food, but Grape-Nuts food always restores her and leaves no 111 effects, for tho food Is so easily digested nnd Is ready cooked, therefore a great con rlctlM. The Nebraska law does not pro vldo for an;' method of consolidation of fra ternal societies. This ruling makes Illegal section F of the bylaws of tho Hankers union, which provides thnt tho olhccrs of that association can accept the policies of other societies by nttnchlng a "rider" thereto nnd ngreelng to accept all the obli gations and conditions of such policies, thereby agreeing to pay all the benefits provided therein without rc-medlcnl exam inations. In short, the auditor holdt thnt the only wny that any perron can become n legal member of a fraternal bettellclnry associa tion, or recilvo nny benefits therefrom, Is to make application to Join tho lodgo of such association and pass the medical ex amination required by law and receive a certificate or policy of Insurance, nccord- lng to tho laws of such association. .timber .Men 1'IrIiI llullrond.
