TIIC OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, MARCH 10, lOOfi. 3 MORTENSEN MAY WITHDRAW Attorneji 8e No Way to Get Question of Elisribility Before Court. MORE TROUBLE OVER TABITHA HOME ). Mickey rominriili Iowa frnilc for Antl-Pnee I .aw. bat Thinks 14 Shoald Mar Hone a tes 'Farther with Prohlbltloa. (From a Slalt Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March .-(Speclal.) State Treasurer .Peter Mortensen thla morning held a conference with his attorneys, Strode Clements, regarding Mr. Mortensen s eli gibility to be governor of the state, but no official announcement will be made of the outcome of the conference for a few days. The attorneys have hern looking Into the twitter of bringing suit to have the ques tion of Mortensen's eligibility pavitod upon by the supreme court, but they have come to the conclusion, there Is no way this can b .done excel by quo warranto proceed ings, which could not be started until after the election. For this reason It Is probable the state treasurer will within a few days announce his withdrawal from the race for the republican nomination, as Mr. Morten sen has said all along he would not be a candidate should there be any doubt of his eligibility to hold the office. Mr. Morten sen, however, would make no statement for publication this afternoon as he desired to further consult with some of his friends before taking any action. The decision of the supremo court In th Coney-Hylund case, which was to the ef fect that the court would not pass upon the eligibility of a candidate for offioe in mandamus proceedings, ut Instead would do this only In quo warranto, has taken away all hope of the treasurer getting Into court before the election. Mr. Mortensen, It Is believed, feels It would riot be doing the party Justice and would be too severe a handicap to continue In the race lor the nomination with his eligibility in doubt, and because of this his withdrawal Is ex pected within a few days. raaannl Episode la C-oart. Charles E. Means, who has figured con siderably in the courts of late, this morn ing developed a big case of remorse and went Into court and paid the costs of a suit which he had won and In which the costs had been taxed to the plaintiff. Means had been sued for a lumber bll! and when the case was tried he produced a receipt for the amount charged against him. This morning he said he had secured the receipt by unfair means and as he had started on the right and narrow path he wanted to pay the costs of the suit, which amounted to 1106. More Tronble with Tabltha Home. Tabltha home, which was taken over some months ago by a committee which first secured the removal of Rev. and Mrs. llclner, the founders of the place and since lis start Its managers. Is to again come under the limelight. So far It Is asserted this committee has never been able to get a statement out of Rev. Mr. Heiner regarding his management of the home. Today At torney General Urown, acting under the law, demanded a report from Mr. Heiner of the affairs of the home. Mr. Brown served Heiner with the following notice: In accordance with and by virtue of sec tion 164. chapter xvl, of the Compiled Stat utes of Nebraska for the year 1906, Nor ils Brown, as attorney general of the state of Nebraska, require and demand a full re port and statement of the affairs, doings and account of the transactions of your corporation under oath, us required by law, since commencing business, and this you will In no wise fail or neglect to do under the penalty of the law. Conference on tra!n Case. Judge Sullivan of Columbus and Frank Howell of Omaha will come to Lincoln Monday or Tuesday at the Invitation of At torney General Itrown for a conference In tliu matter of the grain suit now pending In the supreme court. Several of the grain fh-alcrs and companies have Alert answers to the petition of the attorney general and the latter will now prepare a brief in reply. Mr. Brown returned last night from Washington, where he went to argue his motion to advance the Burlington tax suit for a speedy hearing. The attorney general brought back with hlin numerous stories of experiences In which he and Attorney Stan ley were the principals. This was the first trip east ever made by the head of the legal department. "I found quite a country back there," said Mr. Brown. "In fact, I didn't know we had auch u country. I enjoyed the trip Immensely, but It made me fell awful bad to see those poor farmers back In Pennsyl vania and Virginia trying to raise corn out of gravel and rocks. Every once In a while you could see some poor little old roots ticking out of the ground and the people on the train said they belonged to corn. "Stanley and I both got scared at the big buildings and Stanley tried to carry oft the Bible In the supreme court. We, with Marmara is to Omaha to Feather the Jests of the People The largest homefumish in$ concern in the world. 22 gveoA stores throughout the United States. The most generous credit plan on earth the credit plan for the wage-earner for YOU. lot of others Just as green, had to take m. oath when we were admitted to prac ute In the court and Stanley thought the olble we put our Hands on when we took tn oath was a souvenir. .They have too many tall buildings and too little blue sky for a man used to the ptalric and the green grass." Mickey Commends loira Senate. The announcement that the lowa senate had passed the anti-pass bill, which pro hibits state officials from receiving railroad passes or courtesies from telephone, tele graph or express companies; met with the approval of Governor Mickey. "The fact that the bill was passed with out a dissenting vote speaks well for the lowa senate," said Governor Mickey, "but why didn't the bill go further and pro hibit everybody from riding on passes? I should think a law which would put every body on the same level would be the better law. I believe the Nebraska legislature will do better than the Iowa senate. Walt until the Nebraska legislature passes a law cutting down freight anil passenger rates and then making everybody that rides pny fnt-e. Then somelhlng will have been accomplished." In view of his statement today it is be lieved Governor Mickey will make a rec ommendation to the next legislature for a 2-cent rate on railroads, as well as a rec ommendation for an anti-pass bill which will prohibit everybody, Including state of ficials and politicians, from riding on passes.

Attorney General Brown will shortly file a motion In the supreme court for a re hearing In the case wherein the State Board of Equalization Is seeking to compel the assessment of the reserve fund of the Woodmen of the World and of the Waod men Circle by the county clerk of Douglas county. In Its opinion, handed down two weeks ago In this case, the supreme court held It would not pass upon the legality of assessing the reserve fund, but it held mandamus which was brought by the state was not the proper procedure, as the state should have appealed from the decision of the county board to the district court.

FIRST SPEECH IS BY PAUL MORTON Head of Equitable Society Objects to Proposed Restrictions as to Investments for Life Companies. ALBANY. N. Y., March .-For many hours today, until nearly midnight tonight, the Joint special legislative insurance in vestigating commit tee listened to argu ments of insurance preldcnts, actuaries and agents against some of the most far reaching provisions of the bills amending the state insurance law, and embodying the recommendations of the committee, as the result of Its investigation of the life insur ance business in this state. The hearing was a disappointment to those who had expected either a' bitter on slaught on the bills or an occasion of sen sational utterances. With few exceptions the speeches were of a technical character. An interesting feature of the hearing was the presence of the three new presidents of the "big three" life companies of New York City Paul Morton, head of the Equitable; Alexander E. Orr, president of the New York Life, and Charles A. Peabody, presi dent of the Mutual Life. All three B?oke briefly. President Morton riling- a written communication, one of the principal sub jects of which was the proposed restrictions upon the investments of life Insurance companies. Former Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff, president of the Provident Saving!! Life, marshajlnd the forces In opposition to the main provisions of the bills and introduced the speakers. All agreedin the assertion that the adop tion nf the main proposed restrictions upon business investments, commissions and cost of new and renewal business, would work great damage to ihe companies and prob ably drive many foreign companies out of the state. There was little reference to the more sensational disclosures of the Insurance In vestigation and no opposition to the rec ommendations designed to stop and prevent corrupt practices, campaign contributions and the like. - First Public Hearing. Today's hearing was the first public op portunity of the Insurance companies to express themselves upon the provisions of the ten bills presented by the committee to the legislature as the result of its ex amination, and the great and small com panies contributed powerful personnel upon the occasion. President Morton of the Equitable Life As surance society was the first speaker. lie admitted that serious evils had crept into the insurance business, and assured the committee that he was in accord with its general purposes, lie said, however, If these bills were enacted without changes it would seriously Injure the Insurance in terests of the state. Mr. Morton then took up the changes in the bills he would suggest. In brief, he believed that with certain qualifications in surance companies should be allowed the same latitude in the matter of Investments as heretofore. Mr. Morton recommended with reference to existing Investments that life insurance companies be permitted to retain their present Investments in collateral trust bonds and in railroad stocks and also their present Investments In banks and trust companies, providing that in no case shall an Insurance company hold over 2D per cent of the stock of a bank or trust com pany. Objects to Standard Forms. He objected to the proposed standard forms of policies. The large mutual com panies should be permitted to issue non partlcipattng policies. He accepted the pro posed limitation upon new business, but he miilntuined that the companies "should be permitted to make good annual losses by termination. The mw should fix a mini mum, not a maximum, contingency leaerve percentage. Tlwre should be some limit upon expenses, but the proposed limitation rKEEP OFF iirnwMic PROSTRATION By using the scientific food Grape-Huts "There's a Rua." 1 ' jp1 ip inSJBaWSSVaBflaW- JZ CORRECT AND It's ten times prettier than it sounds; it's very much Hroadway and it's going to make some of Omaha's swell est dressers sit up and blink.

Alexander E. Orr. president of the New York Life, followed Mr. Morton. Charles A. Peabody, president of the Mutual Life Insurance company; George P. Ide, president of the Home Life Insurance company, were 'also heard. J. O. Vanlse, actuary of the Equitable, argued aKinst the proposition to prohibit the deferred dividend plan. The hearing was adjourned at about ll:se p. m. until next Thursday at 2 p. m., when It will be resumed and continued Friday us long as may be necessary. There was some talk of an appearance by Thomas W. Lawson of Boston, but nothing has been heard from him officially. Question In Parliament. LONDON, March 9. The earl of Onalow, conservative, gave notice In the House of Lords today of his intention to question the government'as to where, in view of the disclosures made regarding certain Amer ican insurance companies. It proposes to compel foreign companies doing business in Great Britain to keep in this country a suitable proportion of their securities to cover the claims of British policy holders. The matter will come up In tho house next week. FOR ONE-NEW STATE (Continued from First Page.) Mr. Beverldge's expense, and In which he Joined. He said he knew nothing about the telegram. The telegrams were not read. A communication frbm Hecretary Hitch cock, recommending an extension of the time for the opening of the Shoshone In dian reservation In Wyoming from June 15 to August 15 was read. Statehood Bill Is Resumed. Consideration of the statehood bill was then resumed, and Mr. Foraker made the first speech under the ten-minute rule. He pointed out that Arizona was not asking an admission, and there had been an effort to force statehood on an unwilling territo rial constituency. Mr. Dubois followed In support of an amendment offered by him prohibiting po lygamlsts and Mormons from voting In the proposed state of Arizona, as was originally provided by the Idaho test oath. He said he had seen a llBt of from fifty to 100 polyg amlsts living In Arizona and that there also were many In New Mexico. There was, he said, no power In Utah to punish polygamy and Mormonism was so strong In his own state of Idaho that notwith standing the leader of the sect in that state had testified that he was the hus band of three wives, there was no possi bility of bringing him to account because of the political power of' his church. "Wherever there Is Mormonism there is polygamy," he said, and added that the only way to prevent polygamy was to strike at the organization that encour ages it. Brief speeches also were made by Messrs. Newlands, McCumber, Fulton, Smoot, Tel ler, Bpooner, Nelson, Hopkins, Hepburn Galllnger. Clarke (Wyo.), Dillingham, Carter and Burrows. The Utah senator In troduced an amendment annexing to his state all that part of Arizona lying north of the Colorado river and spoke In support of it. He said the strip was unwatered and without value. Harrows Submits Amendment. Mr. Burrows advocated the elimination of Arizona and New Mexico from the bill and presented an amendment to that end. He based his opposition on the ground that there were many polygamlsts In the two territories and spoke of polygamy as an "offense against the civilization of the age." He said the real offense was not in plural I marriages, but in polygamous cohabitation. quoted from letters to show that there were many Mormons living in polygamy in Arizona and New Mexico and said that notwithstanding the difficulty of getting tes timony there had been some convictions for polygamy. Mr. Dick spoke for the bill and Mr. Clark (Mont.) against It, and Mr. Bever Idge closed the debate n advocacy of the measure. When promptly at 4 o'clock the gavel fell at the end of M.. Beveridge's Anal appeal for the bill, the vote was begun. The amendments suggested by the committee were first read and to them no objection was made until the proposition to Increase from SIOO.OOO to IISO.UG the appropriation for defraying the expenses of preliminary elec tions to be held In the proposed slate of Oklahoma. The amendment was lost by a vote of 31 to . The increase of the elec tion appropriation for Arizona from 1150.0)40 to $175,000 also was disagreed to. The first test vote came on these money proposals and the opponents of Joint state hood scored a victory. The object of strik ing out the increase was to avoid the ne cessity of having the bill sent to a com mittee when returned to the house of rep resentatives. Under the rules of the house, any bill unendt4 ky Ut senate carrying Increased 2l DRESS FOR MEN AND BOYS. in OVERCOATS 42, 43 and 44 inches long, because the old spring top coat is a dead one; pressed side seams; velvet collar to match fab ric; lovely, tidy, glad 1 S 1535 am a aa m - m aeaat - ak a. at at am expenditure must be referred to a commit tee and considered In committee of the whole. The opponents of Joint statehood desired to afford an opportunity for a mo tion to concur in the amendments without such reference. Vote on Foraker Amendment. As soon as the committee amendments were disposed of, Mr. Foraker formally offered his amendment providing for a separate vote on Joint statehood. The vote was Immediately taken and the amendment carried by the decisive vote of 42 to 30, as follows: Yeas NEW 5 P KING HATS ..Kupp.nh.im., a co.

Mr. Dubois' amendment relative to polygamy In the proposed state of Arizona was then offered. He asked for the ayes and noes, but a formal vote was prevented by the committee accepting the provision. It was, therefore, incorporated in the bill. Tho next formal vote was taken on Mr. Burrows' motion to strike out all the part of the bill relating to Arizona and New Mexico. The roll call resulted In the loss of the motion by the narrow margin of 1 vote, 36 nays to 35 yeas. Mr. Burrows gave notice that he would renew the amend ment when the bill was reported to the senate. On motion of Mr. Teller the rrovlslon continuing Guthrie as the proposed capital cf the state of Oklahoma until 1!15 was stricken out bv the vote of 39 to 31.
