BUSINESS CONTRARY TO PUBLIC POLICY Hold that Tontine Companies Hare Ho Stanl-tc Lesjal Corpora tions and Cannot Br Ad Jadged Bnnkrnnts. R. R. Hortb, special master-ln-chancsry In tba ess of tba involuntary bankruptcy of tba Security Tontlna Investment com pany of Grand Island, has filed a report la the United States district court, which, If uatalned by Judge Munger, will bate at Important bearing upon theee concerns and the people who pot their money Into them, as It virtually dentea the right of the con tract holders to maintain aotlon under tba bankruptcy laws to secure a settlement ot the affairs of the companies. At the same time be states that the operation of such companies Is entirely without the law, con sidering them aa another form ef a confi dence game. He holds that the company cannot be brought Involuntarily Into the bankruptcy court, as It is not engaged in any business specified under that law. gnbstnnee of the Hepost. The report, la brief. Is as follows: The testimony discloses that the Secur ity Tontlua Investment company la one of thoee organisations commonly known as a "diamond tontine company.'' whose bust nesa la of a decidedly questionable charac ter. If not unlawful. Of the 1110 paid Into the treasury of the corporation by each contract holder the corporation ccr.feasedly retains for 'ts service, another 117.59 becomes the property of the corporation under Its reserve fund feature and later, by Inducing the contraot holder to accept $16il In cash In lieu of the dia mond provided for In the contract, the cor poration aecuree another S40. Thus It will be seen that ot each $110 paid In by contract .holders the corporation proposes to retain 10 as compensation for nursing the remaining 130, and at the end of sev enty weeks return to each contraot holder maturing his contract the sum of (160 In cash; provided it Is In the treasury of the corporation. Here, aa Is the caae with the ordinary confidence man and his confed erates, a favored few are given contracts bearing low numbers and these, as a re ward for using thera aa an advertising medium, reap a handsome profit at the -penae of their misguided friends and neigh bors. Owned Only One Diamond. The testimony discloses that of the ma tured contracts the corporation paid off lot, yet It never owned nor delivered but one diamond, and this to the holder of con tract No. 1. The only apparent reason for Injecting Into the contract the clause In reference te the diamond was ih an en deavor to relieve the contract of Ita other wise unlawful character. This attempted evasion adds to the vlclousnees of the Con tract without accomplishing the desired result. The business In which tha cor . poratlon was engaged Is contrary to publio policy, ita contract Is so unconsolonable that na court would enforce Its provisions. and Its scheme is so shallow that It seems remarkable that It sheuid have ever met with any degree of success. I am unable to conceive how the transactions of the corporation can be construed as a mercantile pursuit. 1 find as matters of fact see that the corporation has received rrom contract holders, holding fully 'paid up but Unsatis fied contracts, between (20,000 and :A.tto, and the corporation has no money in Its treasury with which to meet these matured contracts: It Is not pleaded see that tha tnetltlonera were Induced to enter Into the contract with tha corporation by fraud or deception on lia part, tha parties to the contract are, tnereiore, in pan ueiicio, e e I further find as ooncluslona of law that the Security Tontlna Investment company, havlna- never been engaged principally In II her manufacturing iradlns. printing, publishing or mercantile pursuits. It is not such a corporation aa can be adjudged In involuntary bankruptcy under the provi sions oc ins bankrupt act.

Mr. Connell said: "There Is no neeea elty for the appointment of a referee. We admitted everything that was alleged la their application that was truly ell'ted end only put la Usee such matters as were fully established by (be exhibits, and hence tbsre la bo occasion for the services of referee. "Te submit tbis mailer to a referee would take sis months time end bis salary, to gather with the expense of making up the record, would Involve as expense ot several tbonsaad dollars. "So far as ths names submitted by Mr Mcintosh sro concerned, I bsve ao objection to any ef them.

Browning ana ai hart Donation for 11.160 and costs. She had auatl for Si 000. . The plaintiff's 'allegations were to the ef fect that the three defendants, whose wives It Is disclosed, had abandoned them for the riggltes, maliciously and without probable cause made Information before the eounty clerk ot Sarpy county July 10. 1000, falsely charging ber with being Insane. She was arretted on an insanity warrant and Im prisoned eight days, at the end of which time and as the result of habeas corpus proceedings a district Judge declared ber not insane and unlawfully deprived of ber liberty. It was the Injury thus done to her credit end her peace or mind that she wished to repair at a cost of $2,000. In his Instruc tions te the Jury the Judge included this: "To warrant a verdict for the plaintiff !n action for malicious prosecution for the filing of a complaint ot Insanity, there must be malice on the part ot the persons filing such complaint and a want of probable cause for believing that the party com plained of Is Insane. If the parties filing such complaint act la good faith on evi dence, whether true or false, which Is suffi cient to create In the mlad of aa ordinarily cautious and prudent man a belief of the Insanity of the party ebarged, such persons are protected end Justified In filing such complaint of Insanity."

Ths law yers for Redell during the hearing before the police board took pains to lay the foun dation for an appeal to the district court by objections snd exceptions to the ques tions propounded to the witnesses. The evidence, however, wss so conclusive on the Issues rslsed by the charges that It Is not expected that they will go to the expense of perfecting sa appeal. It Is said that one of the attorneys for Mr. Redell suggested before the hearing that if the board would agree to pay bis salary up to date, including the entire time he was suspended, be would resign snd forego further contest. If tbis proposition was insplrsd by Redell or by his attorneys In the hope of securing an additional tee, it Is probable that a suit will be Instituted against the city to collect the money Re dell would have bad had. be acted as chief rignt siong. , Mayor Moores said yesterday that he expected to be served before long with pa pers Id such a suit to collect Redell's pack salary, but aa Redell bad neither performed the work nor presented himself for duty, he believed the city should oppose any ef fort to collect pay for services pet rea oered.

ON WAY TO' NEW HOME IN SOUTH DAKOTA Recalls Roaaantle Lore Story of Charles W. Hsrgesi ssi Pearl ' Carter Hnnt and Ita Reeent Happy Denouement. Though she has thrice refused to marry William K. Vanderbilt snd bis millions, Mrs. C. W. Hargeas, who waa laat Wednes day Mrs. Pearl Carley Hunt, sea Carley ot New York City, looked net a whit unhappy because ot It as she entered the Her Grand hotel yesterday morning with her husband of two days, Dr. Charles W. Hargens of Hot Springs, S. D. Thus Omaha figures In a romance In high society that In Its many phases promises to outrival anything of recent years. Ths denouement of the entire affair occurred at Bouth Bend, Ind., last Wednesday morning, when the two who are now In Omaha were married at the home ot the bride's cousin, John Chess Ellsworth, In the presence ot about 300 society people from New Tork Cltr. In the first place, Mr. Hargens snd Miss flplav war-. t,IMr ,nt)iA In MaM Vnrk mi. .k.,,! At ..i ik. ii.. ik.. City, about ot an ago, and by the time they grew up so tbst Charles went to aollege and Pearl to a seminary they were In love When they both emerged from their educa tional processes this was still the caae, but then the young woman plunged Into New York society, while the young man waa still a "cub" and must make something of him self. Ho went to medical school But Miss Carley was unusually beautiful. and also aristocratic and wealthy. This meant many suitors, and the youth who was attending clinics had no chance In the end when the allurements of pomp and position were pitted against him. So Miss Carley married Mr. Hunt, and the swim went on, everyone forgetting young Hsrgens, except Mrs. Hunt, ss the event proved. Tonne and Charming Widow. Mr. Hunt did not live long and left bis young wife with more millions snd an en hanced matronly beauty. There waa an other swarm of suitors sfter a proper in terval and this time they were not butter flies, but older, more serious-minded men. Among them waa William K. Vanderbilt, who three time In succession proposed to the young widow. However, there was a handsome young physician out In the west whom Mrs. Hunt had not seen for soms years and she de termlned to have a look before she married Vanderbilt. Hargens hsd unobtrusively fin ished his medical course, avoiding society, and had gone to Hot Springs, S. D. Meanwhile he kept track of Mre. Hunt and knew ot her widowhood. Finally he went to New York City .and as soon ss ths two met everything post wss forgiven and future things arranged. When Vanderbilt heard of It he onoe more brought the Influ ence of bis wealth snd position to bear, but It was useless. Mrs. Hunt had married mistaken once end refused to repent the experiment. Meanwhile society applauded the lovers In sheer delight at the refreshing I loyalty of their romance. Bo Wednesday they were married and William K. Vanderbilt ran out In bis private car to attend the ceremony. Every thing was slmpla but tho decorations snd the spectators. Neither bride nor groom bad any attendants at the altar. A cake from Sherry's of New York was a feature ot the wedding breakfast which followed and the pair started at once for Denver. They left Omaha last night. After a honey moon In Colorado they will . go to Hot Springs to live. ANNUAL WASHINGTON BALL Plctnre ef Flowers, Foliage, Si illtns . Fnees ass Benntlfal Gown a.
