M. CHICAGO, Oct. . Individual bankruptcy
proceedings were begun today against K. I.
Rosenfeld, manager of the Western Life
Indemnity company, already the subject
of much investigation on the part of sev
eral of the policyholders, and if the new
move meets with success Rosenfeld will
be compelled to ' testify concerning his In
terests in the Western Life Indemnity.
The Involuntary bankruptcy petition
against Rosenfeld, Individually, was filed
In the Ifhlted States distriqt court by At
torney Salmon O. Levenson, for the com
plainants, while Judge Kohlsaat, In the
United States court, was hearing argu
ments by. Attorney Isaac Mayer, defending.!
Rosenfeld, General Moulton and the insur
ance company, against an accounting, the
appointment of a, receiver for the insurance
company and the reference of the entire
difficulty to a master In chancery. A re
straining order was Issued by Judge Be
thea of the United States district court en
joining Rosenfeld from moving any of his
assets, Including his alleged contract with
the defendant company, from the jurisdic
tion of the. court. ,
Officials of Company Enjoined.
. The movement was a complete surprise
to the officials of the Insurance company,
but was not the only one, as another bill
was filed in the state circuit court asking
for an injunction and restraining the offi
cials of the company from using any of the
reserve funds of the company at the pro
posed meeting tomorrow to pay the direc
tors and officials for their work in reinsur
ing the company.
Tomorrow an attempt will be made to
have the petition died today against Rosen
feld, referred to a bankruptcy referee and
If this motion la granted, Rosenfeld can
be compelled to take the witness stand and
testify concerning the assets be has In his
possession. It is charged In the bank
ruptcy petition that Rosenfeld owea more
than $32,000 In Judgments held by Harriett
Russell Dewey, Brady's Bend, Pa., Elisa
beth Beck, Brunswick, Germany, and Kate
Clark, Washington, D. C. The petition Is
based on an alleged act in bankruptcy
which Rosenfeld Is said to have committed
when in September of this year he trans
ferred a large portion of his assets to Wil
Biliousness, dyspepsia, loss of appetite,
disturbed sloop, nervousness, headache,
flddlneta and drowsiness, wind and pain

Honse.
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. J. (Special Tele
gram.) President Roosevelt had hardly set
tied himself this morning In his "adobe"
house, as the office building In connection
with the executive mansion has been called,
when a tide ot visitors began to arrive,
some to see him on business, some to pre
sent invitations, some to talk over featurea
of the president's message, some to present
constituents, all to pay respects and good
wishes. Among the first visitors to greet
the president were Senator Burkett and
Max J. Baehr of St. Paul, American consul
at Clenfuegos, Cuba. The reception ac
corded Senator Burkett and Mr. Baehr by
the president waa most cordial. Mr. Baehr
stated that he desired to shorten his va
cation In view of the troubles reported from
Cuba Incident to the approaching presiden
tial election in the island, which expression
greatly pleased the president. From the
White House Senator Burkett escorted Mr.
Baehr to the State department, presenting
him to Mr. Bacon, the new assistant secre
tary of state, who qualified today. Mr.
Baehr has made an enviable record tn Cuba
and It Is predicted that he wilt receive a
promotion shortly after congress convenes.
While with the president Senator Burkett
talked over a number ot matters In which
Nebraska is Interested. On the subject of
railroad rate legislation Mr. BurKetf learned
that the president had not changed his
mind In the least that the fifty-ninth con
gress should deal with this question in
some effective manner. Owing to the num
ber of visitors who desired to see the presi
dent today Senator Burkett cut his visit
short, making an appointment for tomorrow
morning previous to the meeting of the
cabinet.

Mary Vanechock. a Bohemian girl, died
suddenly at 1 o'clock this morning, under
circumstances that were thought to be sua
ilclous by the police. A call was sent for

Bohemian. Early In the evening the girl
appeared to the old man to be HI and he
found her groaning In the closet a little

the floor. He helped her to bed again and
halt an hour later he was again awakened
by her falling. This time she was uncon

SHAW TALUS IN VIRGINIA
Secretary of the Treasury Diioitiei Tariff
lime at Richmond.
DINGLEY LAW PERFECT IN PRINCIPLE
It Will Be Amended by Republicans
ia Doe Time, hot Protectloa
Featore Will Not Be
Changed.
RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 2.-Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw In a speech at a re
publican mass meeting In the Academy of
Music in thla city tonight in discussing
tariff issues declared that all that the
party claims for any tariff law is that its
principle Is perfect, that it will be amended
In due time, but that the principle will
never be amended under a republican ad
ministration. L. L. Lewis, the republican nominee for
governor,, presided at the meeting. Secre
tary Shaw arrived here early this" after
noon. He' was met at the railway station
by a number of prominent republicans. At
tonight's meeting Representative Yost made
an appeal for the purity of elections and
for the choice of Judge Lewis as governor.
Mr. Shaw Speaks.
Secretary Shaw said in part:
You must bear In mind there was never
a tariff law enacted that was perfect or
that anyone claimed was perfect. No two
congresses would ever enact the same bill.
Every tariff law is an aggregation of com
promises. All the republican party ever
claims for any tariff law Is that the prin
ciple is perfect. The rate will be too high
here and too low there, but protection will
be foundWn Its every feature. The oppo
sition party never claim that their tariff
measures are perfect. They only claim
that the principle of free trade, on which
they profess to construct their tariff. Is
the correct principle. They claim to elimi
nate every element of protection from
their tariff laws as England eliminates
protection from Its tariff laws. England
provides a tariff for the sole purpose of
revenue and the democratic party profess
to do the same. They have openly and re
peatedly denounced protection as robbery
they strike at the principle.
While the republican party never claimed
for any tariff law that It was perfect and
never promises to enact a nerfect tariff
law, It does claim that all Its tariff laws
are bullded on the principle of protection.
It has never sacrificed one Industry for the
sake of building up another and never will.
Neither will It prejudice one locality In
the interest of another. It will be national
and not provincial. It will protect the
south as well as the north; the east as
well as the west and the west as welt as
the cast.
Protects All Interests.
All that the republican party claims for
the Dlngley tariff law Is that it is built
on the right principles and protects all In
terests and all communities. It will be
amended In due time, but the principle
will never be amended under a republican
administration. Here and there a rate may
be higher than necessary. Here and there
one may be too low, but the principle
la correct and so wisely have the differ
entials been worked out that the United
States today ia more prosperous than ever
In lta history.

Detweller oa Selections.
Objections to using" the teachers In the
day schools wrfs made by Member Det
weller after the fact was mentioned that
there were three times as many applicants
for positions in the night schools than there
are places to fill. He said he thought night
school teachers should be selected from un
employed persona on- the assigned lists.
"I do not -believe it Is right to give the
work to teachers who labor all day In their
class rooms," said. he. "I fall to see how
they can do Justice te elthef the dar or
night work under the .conditions."
. Member-. Rice aald -that the night school
staff was picked orr the point of fitness for
peculiar and difficult . work and on the
strength of previous demonstrations to this
effect. . -
"This same question was raised by Mr.
Detweller In the committee room last year,"
said Superintendent Davidson. "I am ready
to Indorse the proposition provided we have
material suitable to supply the night
schools. This w- have not. For that rea
son we are forced to select from the day
forces strong teachers who are able physic
ally and mentally to stand the extrf work
and at the same time render efficient serv
ice. The thought has been to make the
night force stronger by not changing the
teachers. With one" exception these ten
were In the night schools last year and
proved themselves capable of performing
well the tasks Imposed."
This ended the discussion and the recom
mendations of. the committee on teachers
were adopted..
Hardlosr ia Lower's stead.
Charles Harding was elected by a unani
mous vote to serve out the term of Ed K.
Lower, resigned. t. which expires at the end
of the year. .Mj Harding Is a nominee on
the republican ticket to serve a year re
maining of the term of H. L. Krieder and
the board chose, him for the vacancy exist
ing on the thnory that he would probably
be elected In November.
The afternoon of Wednesday, the day of
Ak-Sar-Ben's big. daylight parade, will be
a half1 holiday In the schools so that no
aubleet, however small, will miss any of
the sights. -
For the benefit of teachers and principals
who have been compelled to remain In
school buildings a "hair hour after their
classes were ' dismissed whether, they had
work to do or not the hour for closing
school In the"Sfrernoon was changed from
to J:S0 o'clock by) an amendment to the
rules. For a number of years the sessions
have ended t''8:SW: "but" as the rulei' said
'4 o'clock the teachers had. te stay on duty
until then. The oid rule was left over from
an economical regime when the school days
were lengthened and the school year short
ened. '
Caroaby Files a Claim.
Joseph Carnabyv-who recently resigned as
engineer at th high school, notified the
board that on January 14, 1908, he broke
sn arm while In the service of the school
district and that the accident has resulted
In a permanent stiffening of the wrist,
which Interferes with his following his
trade, that of machinist. He said he was
rot personally to blame for the lt.Jury and
thinks the board should award some com
pensation In the way of damages. The
communication was referred to a commit
tee. -
Grace Armstrong resigned as Janitor of
the Beal school o account of bad health,
and J. D. Ledgerwood was 'appointed to
fill her place, his services to continue at
the pleasure of the board.
A leave of absents for a year was given
to Anna Hanna, a teacher.
Member Detweller brought up a proposi
tion to authorise ! the attendance In the
schools of children under 6 years where
birthday falls witHIn two months from the
day the fall term opens, without tuition.
He thought it would be better for the kin
dergarten grades If the children began with
the classes rather, than to come In late
Members McCague and Lindsay opposed
the Idea on the ground that the law for
bids it. Mr. Detweller withdrew his reso
lution before it was voted on.

to amend the rules so as to Increase the
wages of George Chapman, Janitor at the
Central Park school, from 146 to (50 a
month, or to a six-room building rate.
though only five rooms are In use at the
school. Mr. Lindsay said that the services
Chapman performs entitles him to the
raise, but the other members oould not see
it In that light.
Member Phllllppl was elected chairman
of the heat and ventilation committee,

a franchise for its entrance into Omaha. tnX yeftr" wl,h Ba'tlmr rf&vA with
"General Manager Lane, of the Nebraska I the chlc Nationals and later went to
monopoly, is circulating the story that he
has the documents to prove that the at- I
temot of the Indenendent cnmn.nv 1 ...
cure a franchise here Is a stock-Jobbing
scheme, and that he has the contract that j
I have entered Into with the parties who !
expeci 10 nnance tne unaertsking. I am
not surprised that we are compelled to
meet misrepresentation at the hands of the
Bell monopoly, but I hardly supposed they
would go to the extreme of stealing papers
or hiring it done. However, they cannot
Injure us by presenting any facts con
cerning our proposition, no matter how they
may secure them.
The truth Is, and Mr. Lone knows it.
that he has no such contract as he claims.
He undoubtedly has a contract, and prob-
Bly three of them. These facts are known
to the Bell company, but It serves their
purpose to misrepresent the situation as to
one document and to wholly suppress the
others. I have no hesitancy In saying that
did have an agreement as to what money
I should receive for my legitimate exnenses
in securing a franchise last year, and there
was also an agreement or contract relative
to the company as to local stockholders
nd officers, and the management of lta af
fairs. It will 'not, however, suit the pur
pose of the Bell company to tell the truth
about these matters.
"What better evidence is needed to show
the good faith of the independent com-
pany than that it was ready to put up
the money to meet all legitimate expenses
and defray the cost of a 3neclal election?
"So far as the Bell methods are con-
cerned, they were shown at Kansas City,
when the Independent company was work-
Ing to secure Its franchise there. The
nonopoly went to the pitiful extremity of
buying from a colored Janitor the contents
f the waste paper baskets In the offices
of the new company, and for the wretched
sum of 50 cents per basket, In order that
they might patch together '.he torn letters
nd papers, so as to see Just what the
Independent company was doing and to
learn with whom the company was In
communication. It does not look as If the
Bell people were satisfied to rest their case
on a fair and run presentation of the
facts to an Impartial public, when proced
ures of this kind are followed.
'The Independent company seeks Its fran
chise on the merit of Its proposition and
the logic of the situation, and (ws are
satisfied to try our case Detore tne people
of Omaha. We want them to say whether
they want telephone competition or not,
and we ask the city council to submit the
question to the citizens. We take the posi
tion that the people themselves are bet
ter able to pass on that question than any
five men either In the council or out of It."
