.
. The county attorney has dismissed the
\ case against Frank Van Voorhis of Chicago ,
S. an adjuster for several Insurance companies
that were losers In the Consolidated Coffee
- compan"s fire. The case was commenced
S t
' : at the instance of State Auditor Moore , who
S charged Van Voorhis with being the agent
S
. Of insurance companies which had failed to
S. comply with the state law requirIng companies -
: . panics doing business In Nebraska to se-
5sq fr the auditor and fur-
. cure a certificate fr2in -
: fish a statement 'of business every six
months.
.
It was proposed to .malle a test case of
. the matter In hand , but Wednesday 1l was
: discovered that Van Voorhs : " vas not an I
S 'V ' . agent of any of the companies against
S which the auditor has a complaint. He Is
: an Insurance broker and was hired by the
companies In Question to adjust the losses
. In Omaha at the one fire. The attorney did
. not thInk he could make a case against Van
: , VDorhs : .and recemintuded. his dlmlssaJ. 1t
. " S. also appears that some of the other Insurance
.5.
.1 . . companies opposed the prosecution of Van

on the building might become Involved In

Night nn Artistic Saeeeu ;
An undeservedly slender houio greeted the

'l'ho performance was for the benefIt of tll\ '
ASROclated Charities and under time auspices
of Nebraska lodge No. I , Knights of Pythlas ,
with J. Edgar Owens In the title role. The
stage scllings and costuming were good , and

Anderson was somewh strllclng , while
Messrs. Klnslel' , Dally , Porter , Thompson ,
and In fact the entire cast acqullled them-
selves In n highly creditable way. As Virginia -
ginia , Miss Minnie Smith deported herself
with true histrIonic ability , and In voice and
mnnner was the embol1lment of this historic
Homan daughter. 1IIrs. John 11. Driscoll
made a capital Servfn , and ! Miss Goodsell
lacked but lithe In her effective Impcrsona-

perfo'rrnnnce was devoid of much of the mechanical -
chanical ttrrness which usually mark such
attempts ) , and may , without ' undue ettrav-
aganec , bo dcnomlnatcd liS' a most agreeable
success. Too much praise cannot be accorded

TALKED ABOUT THE CHARTER ,
Municipal ; League Dlscu'ses Changes l'ro-
Iosed i.m " Itovl.lnn l'onunlttec.
Councilman Durltley and 1\11' A. P. mIce ) : I.
as a committee from the charter revision
committee met with a delegation of the Municipal -
nicipal leaguers In the Commecrclal clu b
rooms last night to discuss the proposed
amendmmts , to tile city , charIer. Mr. Tulley
described what bad been done' In the way of
suggesting changes In the chartel' j
, Mr. Kounlze narked. . : th t he thbught
that the bonded indebtedness should be" lire i
Ited to 2 % per cent on a basis of a valuation I-
ation of $100,000,000. He thought that the
lime allotted for time commissioner's deputies
to perform their work. two months. wouM
not be sufficient to rnakei a careful i estimat i 0
of the values , and wanted It EO that the lax
commissioner would put In his whole time
Investigating new improvements and In-
creased values of property. He suggested
that by the proposed plan an Incompetent
man might be apppointed to this office , and
with a force of incompetent deputies would
be no improvement over tile present unsatIsfactory I.
Isfactory mnnner of mailing assessments.
The recommenda lon to extend the city
limits from twentY-five to thIrty miles was
discussed , and met with opposition bEcause
of the fact thaI It would Increase the fire and
police limits to such an extent as to Impair
lhe usefulness of these departments M r.
Tukey explain thaI ( lie Idea of the charter
committee was that this would be a gee !
'
move to take In FJorence , In case thc city
ever obtained control of the water works.
The amendment to not grant any fran
chises for more than two years without a
