(From a fltaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Oct. 1. (Special.) Attorney
General Thompson filed an affidavit tn
the federal court thin afternoon, signed by
John M. Gilchrist, resisting the application
ef tha American Surety company of New
York for a temporary Injunction to pre
vent the newly-created State Bonding board
from regulating the rates charred by
urety companies In Nebraska. Mr. Oll
- Christ Is a certified publlo accountant and
during the last eight years has spent con
alderable time auditing and adjusting sc
' counts of surety companies. After the
legislature created the board he was em
ployed by tha board to assist In making
up a schedule of rates to be charged In
Nebraska.
In his affidavit ha says that prior to
1908 surety companies had been Indls-
crlmlnately cutting rates to such an ex
tent that the standing of some of the
' 1 -companies was financially imperiled, and
for the purpose of securing adequate rates-
two associations were formed by surety
companies throughout tha country. One
of these associations Is termed the execu
tlve association, of "whlcH the head officers
of the companies are members and tha
business of this association Is to discuss
,tb general policies of the companies. . The
other association consists of th under
writers of the various companies and their
" business Is to discuss and agree upon
rates. Through the efforts of these two
. .. associations a schedule of rates was agreed
' upon and put In general use. These rates
havav. been generally maintained by the
companies -who were parties to the agree-
ment The state board met June 15, 1909,
. and made up temporary maximum rates.
O&'taSO various classes of bonds executed
,- tr surety companies, consisting of Judicial,
fidelity, contract. Internal revenue, license,
indemnifying and other miscellaneous bonds
1 the rates named by the board are prac-.-
tlcally Identical with the rates agreed
. upon by the Underwriters' association.
On two classes of bonds, county, publlo
official and bank depository bonds, the
stata ' board In Its schedule named the
1907 rates.
Attached to the affidavit Is a state
ment showing the experience of the
American Bonding company from 1895 to
lfOS Inclusive. These figures show that
on all business written by this com
pany after paying losses and management
expenses. It made a profit of $160,664.22.
Taking the same business and applying
the rate as named by the stats board, the
gain would be 1883,84f.G3, showing that
the rates named by the board average
higher and would be more profitable to
the companies than the rates they them
selves have charged during the period
mentioned.
By examining records In New Tork, Mr.
Gilchrist ascertained ' that during . the
year 1901 and 1908, Inclusive, the Ameri
can Surety company had written .a large
, amount of depository bonds on which It
Aveharged . an average rate of l oeata
X and upon which It made a net gain of
I $110,000. On business written y this
company at a rate lass than that of the
state, board it has made a profit., ,
Spinal Disease' la Lincoln. .
Lincoln has several cases of cerebro
splna -meningitis, the disease which caused
so much trouble In York and Polk' counties
and over which the physicians disagreed.
Some contended that the disease was polio
,' myelitis, which, though a longer name, is
said ilot to be as serious as the first named
disease. '
Only few deaths resulted In the counties
where tha disease was most prevalent, but
precautions are being taken to prevent Its
spread In this city. The cases have ' all
.'. been quarantined.
Cltr Mast Proseeate.
County Attorney Tyrrell has put it up to
- the city law department to prosecute mis-
demeanor cases against the city whioh
heretofore has been done by the county
legal,, department. This is all due to the
ruction betwen the oounty law department
and the police, Mr. Tyrrell wrote . to the
iinayor that In the future he would permit
Wne city prosecutor to do this work and
incidentally save the taxpayers some
money, as good fees were charged when
ever tbere was an arrest.
Led with -Units the Ticket.
' John Ledwlth, democratlo candidate for
county Judge, this afternoon filed his de
clination with the vproper authorities. Mr.
Ledwlth U tired of being tho goat all the

ALLEGED HORSETHIEF CAPTURED
Sheriff Kennedr Retnrns from
Kansas, Brlnsln "Fred Day.
BROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct 18. (Special.)
Sheriff Kennedy returned from Kansas
last night, having In custody Fred B. Day
an alleged horse thief who disappeared
from the neighborhood of Arnold about
three weeks ago, taking with him a valu
able horse and saddle belonging to C. D.
Day, a distant relative. Day's whereabouts
up to a short time ago were a mystery
and It was only through some good detec
tive work that the sheriff located him on a
farm under the name of Roy Stone. Pro
curing requisition papers the officer de
scended on his man In quiok order and had
hlsn safely .behind the bars at Broken, Bow
before he had fully recovered ' from his
surprise. . On the return trip the prisoner
became communicative and volunteered the
Information that he .had ridden the horse
across the line Into Colorado and upon
arriving at Hearst had sold both the ani
mal and saddle at a good price. He started
for Klngsvllle, Kan., changed his name
and had secured a Job near Topeka when
arrested. It would appear that Day Is an
old offender, aa there is another warrant
hanging over his head charging him with
theft. '
