OMAHA SHOOTHHS WIN MATCH
Olson of Holdreae Retains the Thorpe
Trophy. Defeat Ina; Itoaers.
Adolph Olson of Holdredgo on the
Thorpe trophy nnd Omaha beat Lincoln
in the team shfmt at ttie Townnend Gun
club grounds at the east end of the Doug
las street bridge Friday afternoon. The
high wind which swept across the grounds
kept down good scores for the most part,
but, nevertheless, considering the weather,
some good work was chSno by both the
Lincoln and Omaha team. The original
plan was for a five-mAn team shoot be
tween Omaha and Lincoln, but Captain
Taylor brought six men on his team, b.-i
the event was made a nlx-inan aftulr and
Omaha won by six targets, the score beiuK
508 to 62. Charles Lewis made the best
score of the day, killing ninety birds out
of a possible WO, and aiding his team ma
terially in the brilliant-win It made from
the cracks from the state. Townsend,
Game Warden Carter and Llnderman were
next best, with eighty-nine each.
For the' third time Adolph Olson, the
genlul real estate man from Holdrege,
won the Thorpe trophy, which Is subject
to challenge for whoever wants io go after
It. Olson has. won It three times stralKht
and still retains Us possession, awaiting
for the next challenger. He did some re
markable shooting Friday, as Ills fine work
kept him shooting from the back mark,
the match being on the sliding handicap
baswi, starting at sixteen yards and work
ing back to twenty-one. Rogers had an
off day and did not seem to be able, to
gauge the birds in the wind.
Frank Crablll. the old-time shooter, was
on hand and issued a sweeping challenge
for a match race, but found no takers.
Captain Hardy of rifle fame Was a mem

BKLlKVlU TO 1IAVH X TEAM
Sulta Are Finally Issued to Bnaket
Ball Men.
After much doubt as to the advlsabllity
of supporting a basket ball, team this year,
due to the financial loss each year,' the
alJiletic management' of Bellevue has at
laat Issued suits to men wishing to try out.
Although It seem a rather late In the season
to start basket ball, men have been work
ing in the gymnasium' for the last month
In the hope the Athletic board would relent
from its position and permit tht game.
Most of the old men are In school this
year and have expressed their Intention to
enter the game. -Kearnea will undoubtedly
play center and around Mm the rent of the
team will be built. Such old timers at the
game aa Pope, Browne, Nlcholl and Cross
man are entering Into the game with all
of their past spirit. The students are
showing more enthusiasm, .in the game than
hitherto and the team will undoubtedly
have fine support. Class teams have been
organized andyf schedule of games la being
arranged, the winners to secure a trophy.
The treshmen team bids fulr to outstrip
its opponents, with the exception of the
Benior team, which la computed entirely
of veteran players.
Saturday Dr. Wadsworth, representing
the faculty, and Manager Hainblln the
Athletic association, will go to Lincoln to
attend the annual meeting of the Inter
collegtata league. Here all the foot hall
controversy will be threshed out again and
the eligibility of Browne will be decided
for good. A radical change In the laws of
the league will probably take place and
altogether It will be a different organiza
tion when It comes out of Its annual meet
ing. Dr. WadBWorth Is attending with the
avowed Intention of making the league
either stand for something In colleglute
athletics or else lose Its identity forever.
Manager Hainblln will meet the managers
of other teams and arrange a base ball
schedule for next spring.

Nebraska. For yeara the Comhuakers have
been striving to work their way Into con

of the western college representatives they
may be received Into the body. So declared
a local "big nine'' official from an Indiana,
Institution yesterday.
titnee the Ann Arbor board of control
took the decided step wbk'h severed Ita
relations wlili the "big nine," both officially
and athletically. Western college men bate
wondered If the organisation, would become
tlia " big eight" or another university voted
In. It was -believed generally only eight
universities would grace the organization.

"I never made such a, statement." he said
last night, '-yulte the contrary would ex

MRS. VOSS FILES "OBJECTION
Claims to Be Lawful Wife nnil Wnnta
to Administer the Ks
tate. Asserting she the common-law wife of
Henry Voss, the veteran architect, who
died a week ago, Mrs. Anna Voss bits filed
objection In prolxite court to the proceed
ings by Which C; B.'Llver was appointed
special administrator. Mrs. Voss says she
had been living with Voss as his wife for
some time before his 'death and lie and
many of his friends recognized her marital
position. Mrs. Voss floclnres in her peti
tion she believes there Is a will appointing
her special Bdminlstratrix and leaving the
bulk of the property to her.
Some time ago sjio eays Voss made ' a
will and she thinks he deposited It with
Frank T. Rarfsom. Bhe does not know
what has become of It or whether It is
still In existence, but she wants a thor
ough search made fpr the document. Voss'
estate Is estimated to be valued at less
than !,.'
The petition waa filed Friday In county
court by M. cr. Cunningham. Mr. Cun
ningham stated that Mrs. Voss was out of
the city on a visit when Mr. Voss died.
Many of liisijrlends will be surprised at
the claim of Mrs. Voss that 'she Is the
widow, as it was very g-jnerally believed
he had no family here.
Mr. Ransom, who is an attorney with
offices In the Ware block, said he did not
have the will of Henry Voss and had noth
ing to do with any of the papers or busi
ness affairs of Mr. Voss. He said his only
connection with the case was as the at
torney'ferr Administrator C.1U. Liver.
"But as fur as a will being in exist
ence is concerned, J am satisfied there Is
no wlU," added Mr. 'Ransom.

tween Lexington and Saratoga sUects, was
gutted by fire early today. All oT. the
structure above the second floor is a hol

by the grand lodge of .Masons, Is Insured

the walls were exquisitely decorated 111 oil

many rare and fine old paintings. The
records and archives of the grand lodge
tire believed to be Intact, as they are' all
kept In a huge vault In the. cellar. Tho

This Is the second time thai the Ma

it having been destroyed on Christmas day
In 1890. At that time, however, It was used
largely as a theater and the Masons occu

of it.

PROPOSED MERGLU IS DELAYED

All Itlaka r Chanae Preseat
Company tat II Alter Final' .
Hearing. " ?
Judge Kennedy yesterday afternoon re
fused to Issuof the temporary injunction
asked for by John,W. Towle to. prevent
the directors of the Bankers Reserve .Ufa
company from changing the company front
a mutual to a stock company. Before -h
announced his decision T. W. Blackburn,
one of the defendants, and their attorney,
dletafed a statement In open court that
the defendants would not reinsure, all tha
risks ot the mutual company or take any
steps toward changing the mutual com
pany to a stock company. ' '
W. M. Oilier, attorney for the .plalrttlff,
and a number of protesting stockholders
declared the action of the court waa satis
factory, as the statement made by Mr.
Blackburn insures the officers will not
take the action to which they objected.
The promise made io the court will be In
force until the case can be heard on Its
merits 'when the matter of a permanent
injunction comes up. The 'cwse has been
set for February 10, the first day of the
next term of court, and both sides de
clared they would be ready for the hearing
at that time.
The statement Wade by Mr. Blackburn
Is as follows :(
The defendants, B. If. Rohlson, R. C.
Wagner W. (3. Preston. William F. Mllroy.
R. I.. Rohlson and T. W. Blackburn. In
open court state that pending the final
hearing of this cause upon the merits they
will not reinsure all the risks of Bankers'
Reserve flfe company In The Bankers'
Reserve Life company, or by any action,
directly or Indirectly, change the mutual
company to a stock company.
New Company- May Do flnnlnru,
The status of the two companies as far
as their relations to each other is con-'
cerned will remain as they are now under
the statement. The latter docs not, how
ever, prevent the new company from reach
ing out for new business or from entering
those states where the old company has
difficulty In getting business because It
cannot write non-participating policies. It
will, however, prevent the transferring of
all of the present policy holders of the
old company and the reserve of the old
company now in the hands of the state
auditor to the new company. I'nder the
law the reserve Is transferred only when
all of the policy-holders are reinsured In
another company.
After the case Is heard on its merits
next month Judge Kennedy will decide
whether the proposed transaction should
he enjoined or not.
A number of protesting policyholders
were present when the action was taken
and no one objected. From this It is In
ferred that no further legal measures will
be taken until the hearing of the case In
February. I
Exuerta on Witness Stand.
, The hearing of tho case Friday morning
took the form of a school of insurance.
Henry F. Oould of the Prudential Life
Insurance company and B. H. Robiso
both took the witness stand and were in
terrogated by the court and the attorney
for the purpose of enlightening the forme
on me inincacies or insurance policies an
premiums .ana the effect of various kind
of legislation on- mutual and stock com
panles. '
After these witnesses had testified T. W,
Blackburn continued his argument In bo
half of the defendants. He declared ,th
court had no power to issue an injunction
in cases of this kind except on application
of tho attorney general on request of the
state auditor. ' '
Mr. Robison in his testimony said the
formation of the stock company would en
able the company tfl do business In Texas
nnd some other states from which the mu
ttial company would be practically barred
by adverse legislation. . In many of the
states, he said, mutual companies are pre
vented from writing nonpartlclpating poll
cles. As the premium on this class of risks
Is about 20 per cent less than on partici
pating policies he declared the mutual com
pany would be driven out of these states
by competition.
Would Knter ew Stalea. '
"The new company would go into states
where the mutual company could not dJ
business," he said.
"Then am I to understand that the old
company will write tonly such insurance
as the new company cannot?" asked the
court. "
"That lias not been defnlnltely deter
mined yet," - said the witness. "I don't
know what we will do, as we don't know
the number of policy holders who will de
sire reinsurance."
Mr. Robison said 98 per cent of the policy
holders who expressed themselves on the
subject favored a change from the mutual
to the stock company and only 2 per cent
did not want the change.
Mr. Blackburn in closing tho argument
declared the rights of each policy holder Is
determined by law and would not be af
fected In any way by the reinsurance in tae
new company.

Seal Decision to Hemaln with C'lear
Ina; Association When Fold, Be
comes Vice President.
South Omaha National banks have de
cided definitely to retain membership in
the Omaha Clearing House association,
which they joined October : 87, When the
Clearing House association authorized the
issuing of cashier's checks, the payment
of which was guaranteed by securities
placed with the Clearing House committee.
When E. F. Folda. vice president of the
T'nlon Stock Yards National bank, accepted
the vice presidency of the Clearing House
association, the South Omaha banks sealed
their, decision to retain membership in the
asancfatlon, despite rumors they would not.
Bank clearings- of Omaha will not be
increased by the addition of the three new
membership, as the clearings of the South
Omaha banks have shown up in the clear
ings of Omaha for a number of years.
Though the banks were not members of
the association, they gave checks on Omaha
banks In settlement for balances and the
totals of the South Omaha banks were
Included In the Omaha clearings.
The general supposition that the clear
ings of Omaha were kept up during the
panic by the fact that the South Omaha
banks joined the association, la denied by
bankers, who say the clearings were nor
mal and the South Omaha banks made no
showing other than they had made regu
larly for years past by drawing checks
for totals on their depositories In Omaha.
