MA CORN DEAL SETTLED
Jaouith Gives Hit Check to Cle&rinc How
and Accept Warehouse Eeosipti.
THOUGHT HE WAS UNFAIRLY TREATED

The May corn deal on the OmUit Oraln
exchange has been settled. Friday mornlnf
' A. B. Jaqulth gave hl check to the clearing
house for 138.018.74 and accepted warehouse
recetpte or 80.028.&2 bushels of No. 1 corn
In the Updike Grain company's elevator at
South Omaha. That closed the deal, as Ja
qutth'a trades with J. W. Holmqulst and
others had been closed out the day before.
The settlement should have been made at
J.i Thursday, according; to the rules of the
exchange, but Mr. Jaqulth declared he had
been unfairly treated and tendered his
check only with a letter of protest, which
Included the statement that he would hold
the exchange amenable for damages and
which demanded the settlement of unfilled
May trades to the amount of W.XO bushels
at mi cents a bushel, at which figure the
option closed Thursday.
The disagreement arose over the fact
that the rules of the exchange did not
specify the time when warehouse receipts
shall be registered at the exchange.
Mr. Jaquith's story runs thus:
"I thought receipts should be registered
by 10 o'clock, and when I went to see
Secretary McVann. was Informed by him
that since the rules did not specify a time,
he would make a ruling that the regis
tration must be made by 11 o'clock. Hs
afterwards Informed me that he had noti
fied N. B. 1'pdlke, who was selling corn,
of the decision. I told Mr. Updike, and
also Mr. Babcock of the same firm, that
all trades made after 11 were to be un
derstood as under Mr. McVann's ruling-.
Then I went buying corn and took
about 15,000 bushels from Updike. The
receipts were not registered until the
afternoon.
- HcVaaa Declines Check.
"Secretary McVann came to my office at
TM, bringing me warehouse receipts for
over 80,000 bushels of corn, saying that the
board of directors had not stood by him
on his ruling and that the receipts would
have . to be accepted. I offered him the
check with the letter of protest, which he
declared he would not take. I then sent It
down to the exchange office.
"President Wattles. Mr. Updike. Secre
tary McVann and others consulted a law
yer last night, and this morning the board
met at my request A resolution was
passed to the effect that the secretary did
not possess the -lght to interpret the rules.
I said: 'All right, gentlemen; now that
ws know where we stand, I will withdraw
th protest and allow you to keep the
check.' .This was dona and I took the corn.
"Then they wanted to strike from the
minutes the resolution they had passed. I
would not consent and they had to let It
stand.
"I intend to have fair trading on the
floor of the exchange and I Intend to have
explicit rules If It takes me 1,000 years.
That Is why I would not take the receipts
until the board defined the secretary's
right to Interpret the rules. The board
must now pass a rule as 'to the extreme
limit of time for the registration of ware
house receipts. There wns no unpleasant
ness between Mr. McVann and nie, nor
between Mr. Updike Hnd me. This little
May deal was only a penny ante to what
there will be on the flour some day. sntj
, tn the meantime, I want to have tlif rules
made so there will be no possibility of a
skin game."
It is generally understood thit Mr.
Jaqulth came out of the May deal a little
to the good, for he traded on the Chicago
board as well as the Omaha exchange
and made some good trades there.
MISS ANDERSON IS INSANE
Pluky Weasa'i Labs; Straggle
i ...... ... .. .. ..... I
aa T.m4 at Last.
The filing of charges alleging she Is in'
sane by Superintendent Mortis of the Ar
sociated Charities marks the end of Chris
tina Anderson's long struggle against po
erty and an unfriendly world. Miss And4r.
son Is a 8wede. aged about 30, whose cr,ly
relative Is a slater in Europe, who waa
dying, according to the laat reporta re
ceived by her. The Omaha woman is a
seamstress snd has been slowly starving to
death because of a mania that everyone
wishes to Injure her, coupled with i:he
common hallucination of poisoned food.(.
For years she has liven In a single rolm
at Seventeenth and Cuming streets on the
third floor. Her mental decline Is said to
date back several years to a time when
she was employed by a merchant down
town. One day the merchant, in a ft of
anger, is said to have made a remark
which was construed by Miss Andersen as
slighting to her character. Her prida was
wounded snd she Immediately quit the
service and started a suit for defarratloh
of character. This suit wa' compromised
later and she was paid a small amount of
cash. But the Idea that the remar'c was
constsntly being circulated to her' detri
ment grew upon her until she brood 1 over
It continually. Finally her health became
undermined, but she plucklly refusid as
sistance and endeavored to earn a liveli
hood. For the last year she has been
more or less under the espionage of th
Associated Charities. Her condition event,
ually got so perilous that Superintendent
Morris feared her life would pay ths pen
alty -of liberty. Hence the filing of the
Insanity charges.
There Is little doubt that she will be
committed to the Insane asylum.
SUIT ON LEGACY TAX LAW
Attack Mad by Attorney for Mc
Mnrtaer Estate af -Fifty
Thousand Dollars.
Another attack on the inheritance tax
law has been made by John T. Cathers,
representing the estate of Dr. David 8.
McMurtney who died about two years ago.
He left about $50,000 in stocks, bonds,
mortgages and other personal property In
a safety deposit vault in Des Molncs. Mr.
Cathers asserts the Inheritance tax law
cannot apply to this property because It
Is located outside the state of Nebraska.
The matter was argued Friday morning
before . County Judge Leslie. Deputy
County Attoiney Shotwell maintained the
tax applied to all personality wherever
located provided the deceased was a resi
dent of Nebraska. f
The tax Involved will amount to about
$500, but the principle applied to other
cased would involve oeveral thousand dol
lars In taxes. The case will probably be
carried to the supreme court no matter
what the decision of the lower court is.
DISEASES . OF THE SKCt.

All of these diseases are attended by In

NO NATIONAL CONTROL NOW
Federal Supervision of Insurance, Eoovel
Gays, is Unattainable Ideal
BUTLLR AMES' BILL BEST SUBSTITUTE
President of National Association of
Life I'nderwrlters Is Enter
tained br Insurance
Hen tn Omaha.
Charles W. Scovel of Pittsburg-, president
of the National Association of Life Under
writers, Is In Omaha, a guest at the Fax
ton. President Bcovel waa entertained at a
banquet by the Underwriters' Association
of Nebraska at the -Commercial club Thurs
day evening-. Among others present at the
banquet were State Insurance Commissioner
Pierce and a delegation from the Lincoln
Underwriters', association. The banquet
was largely attended and was addressed by
President Scovel, Mr. Pierce and others.
President Scovel sold Friday n.orning:
"I am on a tour visiting the flfty or more
local associations of the country to famil
iarise them with the work of the National
association and have been out two weeka,
visiting Peoria, St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Des Moines, before reaching Omaha. I
shall go from here to Denver, Salt Lake,
Kansas City, St. Louis and Dayton before
returning home. The annual convention of
the national association will be held at St.
Louis In October, which Is the farthest west
the meeting of the national association has
been held ln the sixteen years of Its exist
ence, and I am glad to see that western
associations are taking a lively interest In
the coming national convention. The na
tional association Includes in its affiliating
membership all life Insurance agents of the
country, numbering 66,000 persons. -
All Want Information.
"Judging by my correspondence and by
the questions put at local association meet
ings, every member everywhere wants to
be Informed as to the general situation,
present and prospective, of insurance legis
lation. New York stands alone, the only
state that has felt specially compelled to
Dush through Its legislation ln the midst of
abnormally excited conditions. April 71 the
governor signed the last of the bills, orig
inally submitted by the Armstrong commit
tee February 23, but much changed by the
2 amendments may by the committee
Itself after the public hearings in March
and by other amendments on the floor
and leaving the standard policy forms to be
still further amended by the Insurance com
missioner up to October 1.
"I believe the climax of the whole agita
tion has been reached and that the main
work remaining to be done next season by
all the other legislatures and doubtlees in
the way of revision by the New York leg
islaturewill be done under vastly different
conditions.
Roosevelt Tailed Meetlna.
"Outside of New York, ths most In
fluential factor Is the national insurance
convention of governora. attorneys general
and Insurance commlsslonera, called wltr
President Roosevelt's concurrence to meet
at Chicago February 1, and to which upon
the same high authority our National as
sociation waa invited to aend delegates.
That meeting left the whole matter of
ahaplng up laws, to be recommended t
the several atates, in the hands of a large
representative committee on legislation
which met at Chicago. March 30-22. Aftei
eonnlderlng all that the Armstrong com
mittee had developed, and spending tw
days in conferring for Itself with practlca'
Insurance men. this committee formulate.!
broad, aenslble recommendations, to b
worked Into bills by a subcommittee an'
then t' be the subjects of another publi
hearing before final report to the ad
Journed meeting of the whole convention
to be held at Washington In Septembei
This looka more like due deliberation.
"National supervision, so much discuss
of late years and recommended to the a4
tentlon of this congress by the president'
opening message, has become an unat
tatnable ideal, at least for present pu
poaes. As the beat available substitute
now comes the bill reintroduced. April '
by Congressman Butler Ames, contalnln
many modifications suggested by the Chi
cago committee. -Only
Few Hears for It,
"Ths Chicago committee only had a fe
I hours to give to the Ames bill, and I
still contains soma provisions at varlane
I with their recommendations. It la frank I
admitted to be Imperfect aai requiiin
amendment. In the abstract written b
Superintendent Thomas B. Drake that ae
ccmpa&lss the president's massage. Thae
matters will of course receive attention be
fore final passage of the bill.
"Our official recognition by tho president
and other leaders of this great national
contention (no other Insurance men being
thus-recognised) and tht, exceedingly ef
fective public service rendered by our local
association at Albany and many other
state capitols, constitute an epoch in the
whole association movement.
"Without committing the association on
specific points, some of which we hope to
see changed, I have written first to the
Chicago committee regarding their recom
mendations, and later to the president re
garding the Ames bill; that we cordially
agree with the main principles advocated
by them, and expect that our organization
throughout the country will prove no small
factor tn bringing public press and legis
lators to agree with them also."
GRAND JURY ON - SUPPLIES
Calls the Sheriff and Commissioners to
Tell About the Purchase
of Articles.
The controversy between Sheriff Mc
Donald and the county commissioners over
the furnishing of supplies for the county
Jail has reached the grand Jury and Friday
morning several of the commissioners were
called Into the Jury room to testify.
Sheriff McDonald had previously been on
the stand.
The Investigation is said to be the result
of the examination of the Jail made by the
grand Jury Thursday afternoon. Such
matters as who shall furnish soap, brooms,
buckets and other minor supplies about
the Jail Is said to have been discussed.
The rules of the Jail established by the
district Judges provide these supplies are to
be furnished by the sheriff and the com
missioners have taken this view. Sheriff
McDonald maintained the commissioners
should buy them for him. The grand Jury
report on the condition of the Jail will be
made Just before adjournment.
The grand Jury returned two indictments
Friday at noon. One grows out of a
stabbing affray between two Italians sev
eral days ago and the other is against
Ouy Bourne, who is under arrest at the
city Jail.
ANONYMOUS NOTES IGNORED
1 Letter to Probation Officer With

Probation Officer Bernstein would lik
the information to go forth that he will
pay no attention to complaints made to
Ms office by anonymous letters. The de
partment, in his opinion, has enough to
do without Investigating complaints made
by persons afraid to sign their name'.
Much valuable time has been wasted i.i
this way. Hereafter no complaints will
be heeded unless they came from citizens
of sufficient responsibility to reveal their I
personality. I
