Vlre Chancellor Howell Rales Thai
They Are Knlltleil to Two and Half
Millions From orplu.
NEWARK. N. J.. Feb. 28. Vice Chancel
lor Howell today filed a decision In chan
cery court In which he upheld the pro
posed division of a $.000,000 surplus fund
by the Prudential insurance company of
America among deferred dividend policy
holders. In the same ruling the court
decided that the stockholders of the Ptu
dentlal company were entitled to a fund
or $2,500,000 assigned to them as stockhold
ers and labeled "contingency surplus."
The verdict Is the result of a suit begun
by Leon Blanchard, one of the stockholders
of the Prudential, In which he claimed
that the $20,000,000 surplus assigned to" the
protection of the deferred dividend policy
holders should be distributed among the
stockholders.
The decision by Vice Chancellor Howell,
If upheld In the event of a further appeal,
means that the stockholders will receive
a new dividend amounting to 125 per cent
on the capital stock of the Prudential,
which Is only $2,000,000.

pll ant, knew his residence to be on a cer
tain street with a certain number, when
as a matter of fact they had simply been
Introduced to each other on that particular
oci asion.
"Seventh That handful after handful of
registration certificates, with the city
ilerk's name and seal attached thereto, and
the signatures of professional freeholders
attached, were carried around by political
workers, were filled out In the hall of the
city hall and not In the presence of the city
clerk or election Judges, and In this way
as many fraudulent votes could be cast as
desired by the gang In control, and many
thousands were so cast.
"Kighth-rThat a large number of notaries
public wera appointed for the purpose of
having applicants for registration make
oath on the day of election, that blank
certificates were received In practically
every voting precinct 4a the city of Omaha
In number approximately 2.000.
i to Freeholders.
"in reference to thq third charge that pro
fessional freeholders were stationed around
to make affidavits for strangers or any
one who might desire to vote, your com
mittee finds that said allegations are true
and are suported by th evidence.
"In reference to thUs charge your com
mittee desires to state that from the con
sideration ot the evidence we have been
unable to find that any of the freeholders
were not freeholders in fact, but we do
find that they had not sufficient acquaint
ance with the person deslringto yote to en
able them legally to qualify a signer to
the voters affidavit.
It appears from the evidence adduced
before your committee that in certain pre
cincts of the Third ward of Omaha there
are very few resident freeholders. Your
committee Is of the opinion that the affi
davits should be executed at the place of
voting and that thev should he wrn tr.
before one of the Judges of election, id ,
attested by at least two registered votr
oi tne precinct. We believe In this way
that frauds may be prevented and a better
check kept In reference to the registration
and voting. And we. think also that the
persons vouching for the voter should be
required to slate In his affidavit how long
he has known the voter for whom he signs,
and shall nut be qualified unless he lias
known him for at least ten days. We
think the foregoing would be a great
precaution in this matter, and also that
where a man votes by affidavit that that
fact should be noted on the poll book.
Casting; Others Votes.
In reference to the fourth charge that
men who registered at the proper time but
failed to be present at the polls to vote
that their votes were cast for them any
how, your committee finds that there was
Indirect evidence tending to establish tne
fact that this was done in one or two in
stances. As to -the fifth charge In the message,
namely, that during both primary day and
election day freeholders In reserve force
and stationed at the city clerk's office for
that purpose who did not know the ap
plicant for registration, would be Intro
duced to said applicant and would aid hi in
in the execution of the affidavit by attest
ing it as a freeholders your committee
finds that said charge was sustained by
the evidence, and the same has been cov
ered In the foregoing portion of this re
port, and the reoommendaUons therefor
have all been embodied In this report.
in reference to the sixth charge that
there was a well directed and organized
plan to provide all applicants for registra
tion on election day with freeholders your
committee finds, .that said charge Is true,
and that the same has been the practice
heretofore.- Your committee finds that the
same is not illegal under the law, but
think that some -rare should be exercised
therein and that m remedy has been sug
gested in this reejirta Your committee fur
ther finds that said practice was indulged
in by both -poMk-al' parties; " ,
In reference t Nie seventh charge that
handful after handful of registration cer
tificates wltn the cltv clerk's name and
seal attached thereto and with the signa
ture of professional freeholders attached,
were carried around by political workers
and were filled out In the hall Of the city
hall and not In the presence of the city
clerk or election .Judges, and in this way as
manv fraudulent votes could be cast as de
sired by the gang In control, and that many
thousands were so ' cast, your committee
finds, that the governor was misinformed
In reference thereto and that there was no
competent evidence to support said charge.
Notaries Public.
In reference to the eighth charge, that a
large number' of notary publics were ap
pointed for the purpose' of having appli
cants for registration to make oath on the
day of election, your committee finds, that
there were two special notaries appointed
In the city of Omaha on election day for
the purpose of making out affidavits in ad
dition to his clerk, his deputy and two
notaries in his office, and the two notaries
appointed by the acting mayor, Mr.
Brucker, were John W. Battln and George
Mertin, and that said six constituted the
office force for the making out of these
affidavits and no evidence was Introduced
allowing that any of these parties neglected
their duties or were guilty of any fraud in
reference thereto.
Your committee further finds that about
600 affidavits were made out in the office
of the city clerk. That on tha aftej-noon
of election day the city attorney of Omaha
rendered a written opinion, which Is made
a part of the evidence In the case, holding
that the freeholders might execute (he
affidavits at the polls before the judges
of election. The law prescribes that this
may be executed either by oath or by af
fidavit. Home of the Judges seem to have
construed the law to be that an oath only
was necessary, and probably this Is correct
under the law. Your committee, however,
Is of the opinion that the law should be
amended by requiring this proof to be exe
cuted by affidavit that a complete record

the primary election In II'lO. when the
auestlon arose In (itneha ss to W"hat vot
ers would be permitted to vote on account
of their failure lo register, that the ninvor.
rltv clerk and rlty attorney had a meet
ing and these gentlemen determined that
certificates of election could be Issued at
any time before the cltv clerk, your com
mittee finds, that the city attorney did
render such an opinion. Your committee is
In doubt as lo whether or not It places
the same construction should be pls'-t
uvon the law as that placed by the r .
attorney of Omsha. but wo think that He
law should be amended so as to make It
plain and unambiguous.
In addition to the foregoing specific
chsrges your committee lnvestlg.it 1 1 t!ie
election In reference to other matters that
were brought out during the Investigation,
and submit the following report In refer
ence to the ssme.
Your committee did not make an Investi
gation In reference to all the wards In the
city of Omaha to ssscertaln whether or
not there had been Illegal voting bv re
peating, but did make a careful examina
tion of one precinct, the Fifth In the Third
ward, and the evidence tends to show that
In eight Instances In that precinct repeat
ing was done.
During the progress of the Investigation
the question arose In reference to a lrtrge
number of Greeks voting In the Third ward
of Omaha Your committee very care
fully Investigated this question and find
that there are a large number of these
men living In that ward; that thev are
employed by the railroads as labor.-rs and
in track building and repairs; that during
a large part of the time they sleep In bunk
ears, some times In one county and some,
times in another, and some times are
working In Omaha at track building and
repairing; that when In Omaha they some
times sleep at one place and some times
at another to suit their convenience or
their ability to secure room; that they
congregate In large numbers at different
places among which Is No. 617 South
'thirteenth street, where they get their
mall, making these places their head" car
ters, eating their meals there and si" " Ing
touch of their leisure time there whne In
Omaha. Your committee Is In doubt
whether or not these men were legally
mtltled to register or vote from those
tilaces
As above stated, your committee Is some
what In doubt In reference to this matter,
but we believe that the authorities at
Omaha should carefully Investigate those
ce.ses and should see that the election
laws are rigidly enforced, and If any such
votes are Illegal should not allow them to
be cast at the election.
Rubber Bands.
During the progress of the Investigation
evidence was Introduced satisfying your
committee that rubber band were placed
upon the voting machines in some of the
precincts In Omaha. We can only con-Jectur-
for what purpose this was done.
Your committee Is satisfied from the evi
dence and from personal tests of the voting
machines that it did not materially affect
the result If it effec:ed It at all.
Your committee considered otner matters
called to its ottentlon during the Investiga
tion, among which was evidence as to the
over-zealousness of certain Judges of elec
tion In assisting isnorsnt voters to vote.
We know of no law wh ch can be passed
which will be a better safeguard against
such abuses In tha future,1 bue believe the
remedy lies In the selection ot ta better
class oi Judgea and clerks of election, if
possible.
Conclusion.
In conclusion your committee desires to
say that wt examined 114 witnesses In mak
ing our investigation; that those witnesses
came from all walks of life in the city of
Omaha and were engaged In nearly all
kinds of business; that we heard both di
rect and hearsay evidence, and have given
all the veidences a careful consideration,
and that the foregoing Is our best Judg
ment In reference to these matters sub
mitted to us for Investigation.
We submit herewith a copy of nil the
evidence taken and ask 'that the same may
be made a matter of public record and be
left open for tiie Inspection of anybody de
siring to Investigate the same. We believe
that the officials of Omaha by careful In
vestigation and by vigorous prosecution
could prevent the recurrence of any frauds
of all legal voters In that city and punish
In the future and could protect the rights
those who illegally vote.

but that was about as far aa thev felt
Justified In going They have held that
If reciprocity could be got out Into the open
with no other measures pending and behind
wthtch senators might mask their opposi
tion to the agreement, a vote could easily
be reached.
"Stranger things have happened than a
vote on that measure before adjournment, '
said one Influential senator tonight. This
senator was a leading factor tn bringing
about the agreement In the Lorlmer and
tariff board matters and he Is perhaps
more conversant with the temper of the
senators than any other man In the upper
branch of congress. Importance was added
to his remark by the fact that he Is
strongly opposed to the reciprocity agree
ment. Some of the senators In favor of the
permanent tariff board declared that de
spite the democratic opposition they felt
that a vote could be reached on that meas
ure within the next day or two.

To Keep the Hair
Fluffy and Lustrous
(Eastern Stylo Reporter)
"It is easy to koep the hair fluffy and
lustrous, with the natural color well pre
served. Too much monture makes the
hair dull and faded, causing It to split at
the ends and fall out. On the contrary,
dry shampooing makes the scalp soft and
pliant, does not rob it of neceasary oil,
but does take out the dust and dandruff.
"A splendid shampoo powder can be
made by simply mixing four ounces of
amatone with half a pound of corn meal.
81ft a tablespoonful of this mixture over
the head, then brush it thoroughly through
the hair. It; brushes out very easily and
cleanses the hair and scalp and mukes the
hair fluffy, light and lustrous. Amotone
Is good for the hair, aside from its cleans
ing properties and If used aa described,
will encourage a long, fine and silky
growth." Adv.
