Omahans at Lincoln Sperlnl ni.patch to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, April 4.—In a dramatic hearing In which plea* of employer* and employes were heard, Governor Adam McMullen was urged by labor i +*» repeal the hill passer] by the legis lature amending the workmen's com pensation law, while employers as vehemently urged ills signature to the measure. The governor announced his decision would he made public Monday. Representatives of both sides agreed to one fact; that the handling of the workmen's compensation law under the Bryan administration had serious ly jeopardized its future, both from the standpoint of employer and em ploye. The startling fact was set out that during the last year of the Bry an administration, fees permitted phy sicians and surgeons in compensation cases had increased $70,000, or 44 per cent over any previous year. Changes by Legislature. Employes urged that Governor Mc Mullen insist that Frank Kennedy, commissioner of labor, cut fees to reasonable figures, rather than per mit one of the provisions of the new law, limiting surgical, hospital and medical fees to $200, to become oper ative. It was pointed out that when Ken nedy was labor commissioner before he had reduced medical and surgical fees and could do it again. Briefly, Changes made by the recent legisla ture follow: Fixing $200 limit on hospital and tnadical care. Changing total disability clause so tmployes totally disabled shall re ceive compensation for 400 weeks, In stead of for life, as present law pro vides. Permitting expert conclusion* on «J^0t prior diseases, or Indiscretions. " play in prolonging rehabilitation to Influence compensation awarded. Permitting employes to waive corn pen Ration claims, as safeguard to * employers against hernias already In existence as well ns other physical <H?eCts. Compensation High Here. Facts developed by employers dur ing the hearing follow: Compensation Insurance Is higher In Nebraska than any state in the union, excepting New Tork. As an example, $14.02 out of every $100 in labor costs in tearing down old state house goes for compensation insur ance. Despite fact that Minnesota has a more generous compensation law, Ne braska compensation Insurance is higher In this state. Fees charged by certain phvslcians ■ml surgeons in compensation cases ■ re beyond all reason. Cost of administration of law has Increased nearly SO per rent since its passage in 1014. In many Instances certain diseases already contracted make minor In juries Incurable, and yet employers ■ re forced to pay insurance rates to cover complete period of disablement. Larger firms, which ran afford to, have waived compensation laws and ■ re operating under common law. The pica made by the labor repre sentatives was dramatic. Human wreckage of industrial life, In the form of men maimed and crippled, Was thrown Into the picture. ^ Injured Men Present. A number of these unfortunate men were present at the hearing. One man, George W. Rickard, 2426 North Thirty-third avenue, Omaha, was horribly burned in a factory in the part of east Omaha which is in Iowa, where the $200 limit on medi cal services Is in vogue. A. H. Bigelow, speaking for labor, Usserted that Rickard's hands were Crippled for life, because when the $”00 limit was reached, Rickard was given careless and unsatisfactory treatment, ■'Jamk governor,” Rickard said, as he advanced toward Governor Mc Mullen. His hands, horribly deform ed and looking much like daws, were passed only a few Inches from the eves of 11^ governor. McMullen took Rickards hands and examined them carefully. Another was H. Prince, of Oma ha, a fattier of four children, whose neck was broken and is now support ed by a wire harness. Bigelow as «erted the reason Prince was alive was due to the fact there had been no limit on care given him. "J have been rehabilitated to a rer tain extent and recently have worked a little for the city, but now I nm having trouble with my spine,” Prince said. "If the 400-week limit goes into effect and I am forced to quit work, T won't have anything for ■upport.” Dollar Against Humanity. •'It Is iiie American dollar pitted ■ gainst American humanity,” Tom t , .J^'lson of Omaha snld. * In opening the ben ring Governor McMullen expressed regret that all facts and figures had not been pre ■enled to legislative committee*, llo • sserted that he understood only pei funotory hesrlngs were held, because »f lark of Interest In amendments at that time. ”Tho laboring man can't afford to 4 Generations at Fremont Reunion Fremont, Neb., April 4.—Four generations are Included In the above pic ture, taken during a reunion of the family at the borne of F.

Executor Sues Heirs of Suicide 00 in Securiteis Alleged to He Missineg From Columbus Man’s Estate. Special DUpatch to The Omaha Bee. Columbus. April 4.—Certificates of time deposits In banks and paid-up building and loan stock aggregating more than $5,500 are missing from among the securities of the estate of the late B. 31. Keller, wealthy re tired farmer, whose dead body was found in a cornfield after he had com mitted suicide several weeks ago. Disappearance of the certificates is made the basis of a suit in district court here l»y C. X. McElfresh, spe cial administrator the estate, against one of Keller's daughters. Mrs. Gertrude Avery, and her hus band. The administrator charges that they coerced Keller into turning over the certificates to her about February 1 by threatening to imprison hi#i in their home. Being Si years old and in poor health, the administrator charges, Keller could not hold out against their demands. The court is asked to restrain the Avervs from disposing of the certifi cates during the litigation and to re quire them to deliver the' missing certificates to the administrator as being a part of the estate. The cer tificates of deposit were issued by the Central National bank and Fann ers State bank of Columbus, and the building and loan certificates by the Equitable of Grand Island and the Nebraska Central of Lincoln. Otto F. Walter, attorney for Mrs. Avery, declared the Avervs deny ever having had the certificates in their possession and deny any knowledge of their wherehbouts. They say Keller lost the certificates some time prior to his death and that the only way restitution can be had if they are not found is to have the banks and build-j ing and loan associations issue dupli cates.

Saline County Courthouse Removal From Wilber Again Being Agitated ^ 6jJ.:ne Count\ : ru c xt Wilbur~^jjjl - W rV7“ " ; Wilber, Neb,, April 4—Considerable strife is on in Saline county over the removal of the county seat, or the building of a new courthouse. Wilber was founded In 1872 by Charles 1). Wilber, one of the early settlers, and the county scat was brought here about 1ft years later, having been at "Pleasant Hill’ and "Center,” Inland towns, before that. It has remained here continually finre, hut there hn« been strenuous legal battle and agi tation on between Wilber and Crete for the seat of government for "<V years. Several close elections have ljecn held with the removal as an is sue, and the subject is foremost in the county today. It Is felt by all that a new court house must b« built at once, and there is a fund available In the county now of about $100,000, which Wilber citizens claim is to ap ply on a new building here, but a new structure of the proper kind and size will cost more than twice that amount, anil Crete is now mak ing strong bids for the location. Crete has the advantage of a larger population, and better railway facili ties. but is not quite so near the geo graphic.,: center i f the ... as Wil ber. it is said that another election for the removal cannot Iegauy he held for five years, that a removal cannot he made without a majority of the vote at an elei tion called for the purpose, and Crete fears that If a new court house is built at Wilber n iw that it will forever end their chances of getting the county scat. The present courthouse is of brick, the old. soft wood kiln variety, erect ed in 1 «S3. and has hem painted sev eral times, and different colors. I* Is small, ins,initary, and not equipped with any modern conveniences ex cept an "id heating plant, ami the floors and woodwork are worn. The courtroom and offices are too small. The walls are cracked and unsafe ir many places Several of the win dows have been bri< ked shut to pro vide more room and places for rec ords Inside. The county jail shown above has been built for the its years, and is unsafe for prisoners, manv of them having escaped front it by digging through the brick walls under the windows, where patches can be seen in the photo, or by sawing out the witidow bats. The jail stands In a block with the sheriffs hcmie ad joining the court h' use. PAYROLL BANDIT SLAIN BY POLICE El Sefftindo.
