OMAHA. Neb., Sept 30. The de
cision of Judge McPheraon of the
United States court in the case of
the Mutual Insurance company and
othere against the attorney general of
the State of Nebraska and others, in
volving the right of the insurance
companies operating in the state to
combine for mutual protection, will
have little effect upon the practical
work of the insurance companies, for
the law which waa declared uncon
stitutional was never enforced and its
terms were evaded by the companies
interested.
"When the law was first enacted the
companies united to make a test case
of the matter in the United States
court. A temporary injunction was
issued by Judge Munger restraining
the state officers from enforcing the
provisions of the law -and this injunc
tion has operated from that time un
til the final decision rendered yes
terday. ' The companies had made provisions
to avoid penalty in case they should
lose the suit and at the same time
maintain practically the same sys
tem which the legislature of the state
had sought to destroy. A. G. Beeson
at the time the law was passed was
-state inspector of insurance for the
companies doing business in the state.
By the terms of the agreement be
tween the companies he made the
rates which were to be charged on
each class of risks, or upon each risk
as desired. For this work he receiv
ed a stipulated salary, which was paid
by all of the companies to the agreement.

fOR VIOLATING NEW GAME IAW
BporUaiea Fined for Haatlac Wlthoat a
License.
DAKOTA CITY, Neb., Sept 30.
Sheriff Sides' office here took on the
appearance of a camp of the state
militia, when Deputy Game Commis
sioner C. P. Counsman of Omaha
stacked up four guns, piled up several
hundred shelfe. tied ud a dog and
hung up a string of four hell-divers,
four mudhens, one turtle dove and
one duck, and at the same time plac
ed in custody of Sheriff Sides, Alfred,
Edgar and Al Richardson and George
Hare of Sioux City, charging them
with violations of the Nebraska game
law. They are accused of being non
residents hunting and killing wild
game without the prescribed license.
The defendants were brought before
County Judge Enners. They pleaded
guilty, but said they were Ignorant
of the law and that it was their first
trip to Crystal lake in quest of game.
Since this was the first arrest in this
locality under the new law. Judge
Enners was lenient with the offenders
and fined them each $5 and "costs.
Crystal lake, with its two pleasure
resorts, is a good place for Iowans to
hunt and fish, as it is only two miles
from Sioux City. The movement to
enforce the law is strongly backed
by local sportsmen and residents. Be
fore his departure Deputy Sheriff
Counsman will appoint a resident dep
uty to enforce the law. The attorneys
of this place will refuse to defend
any violator of the law, but will as
sist in the prosecution of any offender.
BUFFALO, Sept 27. Czolgosi, the
doomed assassin of President McKin
ley, was taken from Buffalo to Au
burn state prison last night to await
death by electrocution during the
week commencing Monday, October
28.
Sheriff Caldwell and sixteen men
took the prisoner in a special car at-
Oachedto -the second-section-of -a
train which was due to leave at 9:30.
The train left the New York Central
station at 10:06 p. m. and the railroad
officials said that an effort would be
made to reach Auburn at 2:12 a. m.,
which is schedule time.
Czolgosz was "sneaked" out the
back entrance of the Erie county Jail,
escorted by seventeen men, and was
hustled Into the special car, which had
b;aen backed down 'pn a;he terrace
tracks' a few rods from the rear of
the Jail a minute before. The Jail was
left at just 9:40 p. m., but a slow run
was made to the Union station, as
the engine and car were on the wrong
track, which had been cleared.
Sheriff Caldwell arranged for the de
parture and his moves were kept so
secret and were so cleverly managed
that no one but the guards, the rail
road men and the newspaper men
who were on the watch knew that
the assassin was being smuggled out
of the Jail. Sheriff Caldwell had giv-
orders to his most trusiwonny

well informed cables at Caracas that
President Castro will declare war on
Colombia at the end of the month.

deputies to appear singly at the jail
at different hours during the evening,
and he had also made arrangements
with Superintendent Bradfleld of the
New York Central to have an engine
and special car on the terrace tracks
at Church street at 9:25 o'clock. That
car was fifteen minutes late, but the
moment it left the station for its run
of three or four minutes a telephone
message was sent to the jail and the
sheriff had the prisoner ready. As
soon as the car stopped, but a few
rods from the rear entrance to the
jail, Czolgosz appeared handcuffed to
Jailer George N. Mitchell and sur
rounded by the Sheriff and his depu
ties and Chief McMaster of the Au
burn police department The car was
attached to the second section of the
train. The news tha.t a car contain
ing the murderer was on the rear of
the train spread quickly and all the
railroad men in the station left their
work to get a look at the assassin.
Finally at 10:06 o'clock the word was
given and the train pulled out
At Rochester the car will be cou
pled to a train running from there
to Auburn, which had orders to await
h arrival of this train. Just before
the train pulled out a representative
of the Associated Press saw Czolgosz
seated easily in a seat and smoking
a cigar. In the seat with the pris
oner was Jailer Mitchell and in the
opposite seat facing them were the
keeper of the penitentiary and Deputy
Sheriff Hugh Sloan, the oldest and
most experienced deputy sheriff in
the county. The other guards were
seated in front and back of him and
on the other side of the car, direct
ly opposite his seat These precau
tions were taken because the authori
ties received word from some source
today that the sheriff might encoun
ter considerable difficulty in getting
the prisoner to Auburn. Just what
trouble was feared was not learned,
but great care was taken that no ad
vance news of the departure of the
train was telegraphed along the line.

fore sentence waa pronounced,
permitted to speak as follows:
"There was no one else but
No one else told me to do It and bo
one paid me to do It"
Judge Titus repeated it as follows,
owing to the prisoner's feeble Tqlce:
"He says no one had anything to do
with the commission of his crime bat
himself; that his father and brother
and no one else had anything to do
with it and knew nothing about it"
The prisoner continued: "I waa not
told anything about the crime and

committed the crime."
Judge Titus again repeated as fol:
lows :"He never told any one about
the crime and nevfr intended to com--mlt-ttruntll
srcouple of "days" before
its commission."
Then Justice White passed sen
tence as follows:
"In taking the life of our beloved
president you committed a crime
which has shocked and outraged the
moral sense of the civilized world.
You have confessed that guilt and af

"You have said, according to the
testimony of creditable witnesses and
yourself, that no other person aided

this terrible act God grant It may
be so. The penalty for the crime for
which you stand convicted is fixed by
this statute and it now becomes my
duty to pronounce this judgment
against you: The sentence of the
court is that In the week beginning
October 28, 1901, at the place, in the
manner and means prescribed by law,
you suffer the punishment of death."
"Remove the prisoner."

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 27 A let
ter received today from Tutula, Sa
moa, calls attention to the discontent
among the natives over the manner
in which the United States governs
the islands under its protection. The
letter says:
"The opinion here is that the au
thorities at Washington must either
treat this place simply as a protec
torate of the United States, allowing
the people the right to govern them
selves under that protection, or they
must lav down settled regulations
for the government of the islands and
make ample financial provision for
carrying out those regulations.
"The inhabitants want to know
their real status concerning the Uni
ted States. Nominally the islands be
long to the United States, but the
States do nothing, and natives and
whites live in a quandry, not knowing
which way to move or turn for fear
of getting into trouble.
"There has been delay in the pay
ment for lands taken by the United
States government for public pur
poses and also for arms and ammuni
tion turned in by the natives. The
Samoans contrast the alleged neglect
with the liberality of the Germans at
Apia, who are opening up the coun
try, building roads and making other
public improvements."

Colombia has continually crossed our

LINCOLN. Sept. 28. It may be
stated as a certainty that the hos

rebuilt on its present site. Land Com
missioner Follmer and Secretary of
State Marsh returned from Norfolk
and it is learned that both are op
posed to removing the institution.
They are confident that the destroyed
portion of the building can be replacti:
for slightly over 850,000.
"We have not arrived at any definite
agreement," said Secretary Marsh,
"and will not until all members of
the board can get together for a meet
ing, but it is very likely that plans
will be made for rebuilding as soon
as possible. We have investigated the
ruins thoroughly and Governor Sav
age and Attorney General Prout will
go to Norfolk and look over the
ground. After they return the board
of public lands and buildings will hold
a meeting and make the necessary
arrangements. It is safe to say that
the institution will be rebuilt at Nor

next legislature for his compensation."
