Forty-thre life Insurance companies
have contributed data to a mcdlco-actu-arlnt
lnvctlgatIon ot mortality among
women, particularly insured spinsters,
married women with other than their
husbands as beneficiaries, and widows
and divorced women. "The expected
mortality," says the Chicago Record
llerald, "was calculated by the modlco
actuarial mortality table, which reprc-
' sents the average experience of the forty-
three companies. Tho ratio ot actual to
expected deaths among spinsters was Rl
per cent, but among married women with
husbands as beneflctarcs was 126 per cent.
The mortality among widows and di
vorced women was about midway be
tween that of spinsters and married
women. The table shows that the mor
tality In the early policy years at age of
entry IB to 20 Is distinctly heavier
among women than among men.
"Tabulated by plans of Insurance, the
ratio of actual to expected deaths was 121
per cent under ordinary llfo policies, 100
per cent on limited payment and $0 per
cent under endowment policies. The pro'
portion of endowment Insurance taken by
spinsters was 61 per cent and by married
women 28 per cent.
'The statistics do not prove that spin
sters as a class afe bettor risks than mar
ried women, but merely that the spinsters
who were Insured were a better class
than the married women Insured.
The Investigators made a comparison
of the causes ot death among men and
women, on a ratio per 10,000 exposed to
risk. The figures show that the death
rata Is greater among men than women
for typhoid fever, appendicitis, cirrhosis
of the liver, suicide and accident. The
death rate Is greater among women for
cancer and other malignant tumors.
"Another table shows the causes of
death among overweights, underweights
and persons of normal weight. Consider
ing those who Insured at ages between 30
and 44. the death ratio from tuberculosis
of the lungs for overweights Is 1.8, against
16.5 among underweights. The death rate
from diabetes Is only 2.3 among under
weights, against 1.4 among overweights."

Lapsed Insurance
Awaits Finding of
Missing Men
Something over $260,000 aro being dis
tributed from the Chicago offlco after a
world-wide search for three years for
10,000 missing men. This sum Is about
one-third of the total cash awaiting
claimants for whom the scorch was Instituted.
Three years ago expert accountants dis
covered on the books of the Connecticut
Mutual Ufe Insurance company at Hart
ford, Conn., almost $1,000,000 for which no
owners had appeared for more tnan a
decade.
The owners had been holders of nonpar
tlclpntlng life Insurance who had per
mitted their policies to lapse. When
these policies had lapsed they became
worth a certain sum, but tho Insured, If
alive, usually had forgotten his rights,
or, If ho was dead, the heirs never had
heard of the Insurance policy.
Tho company decided to return this
money to the rightful owners if they
could bo found. The search went on for
a year. First the Insured was written;
most of the letters were not answered,
Then tho friend named on tho policy
and the physician who signed the origi
nal health examination were addressed
Several thousand policyholders or heirs
were found In this way.
The search had gone far enbugh to
show that tho middle west hod been tho
Jumping off place for most of the miss
ing persons.
Up to this tlmo about 7.G00 rightful
owners, who nover beforo know of their
claims, have been located. Amounts as
high as $12,000 havo been paid.

At the last meetinr of the board of directors of The Midwest Life, a reso
lution waa unanimously adopted consratiilatiiur tho Peopls of the state of
Nebraska" upon the passage of the new Insurance code. The Midwest Life
wss the only Nebraska life insurance company which favored the passage
of tho measure. In fact, every other company vigorously opposed the adop
lion of thU code on various grounds, some even iolng to the length that
h.v could not continue in business if it were passed. Such objections only
imohulte how far the companies making them had fallen behind in their
rnethod and ?tom" of policies issued, The policies the Midwest Ufe are now
lsaulnr it will continue to lnsue without materUl change. It had antici
pated the i requirement of the new code. Better buy one of the policies.

Although a peremptory writ of man
damus out of Judge Troup's court was
served upon Mayor Hbctor and tho po
lice board Saturday commanding" tho
board to assemble forthwith arid purge
the town of the slot machine and gam
bling evils, it made no difference in the
general conduct of affairs In, South
Omaha Saturday night. .
According to Mayor Hoctor, nothing
was done because he'intends to reopen
the case Monday. Hoctor says he was
not represented by counsel, although As
sistant City Attorney S, I Winters ac
tually brought the case up in court. Tno
city attorney's office, however, feys the
board mado no return and the city at
torney's office could not see Its way
clear to make any shewing contrary to
the petition for' the writ
Judae Troun Issued the writ and It was
served Saturday evening. The board held
a hurried conference and Mayor Hoctor,
In an automobile, accompanied Jake
Rothschild, one of the alleged owners ot
the machines, to Omaha. Upon the re
turn of Hoctor, he totd a Bee reporter
that he had retained private counsel to
reopen the case Monday morning.
"Whom have you retained?" waa asked.
"I have retained Judge Ben Baker,"
returned Hoctor. "I was not represented
at the former hearing.
"In the meantime," suggested the re
porter, "what of the writ which says to
assemble forthwith?"
"We have done nothing," said the
mayor. "Until the case Is reopened the
writ is 'non es' "anyway, that's the
way the mayor pronounced it.
It looks as though South Omaha were
"going to air some more of its troubles
In the court. The slot machines have
been in vogue here for more than a year.
Many complaints have been made with
out effect. Former councilman jonn
Vana, who fought the machines and In
troduced an ordinance against them, was
defeated for re-election at the last elec
tion.
City attorney Henry C. Murphy drew
an ordinance making the use of gambling
or vending machines an offense against
the municipal statutes. It was passea
unanimously by the council, but Mayor
Hoctor vetoed the measure. Since that
time tho machines have been running
wide open in South Omaha until P. C.
Caldwell went into court and asked for
a mandamus compelling the fire and
police board to enforce the law in regard
to the slot machines and gambling de
vices. The writ was granted and served
yesterday.
Judge Troup said Saturday night that
the writ would stand and be in full
force until the case had been reopened.
He did not say that the case would be re-
opensd.
'That writ stands," said the judge, as
h concluded his Interview. Whether or
not the board will be haled Into court
for contempt cannot be said at this time.
City Treasurer V. J. Martin, who re
fused to permit the mayor to use back
taxes to bolster up funds that have been
depleted during the year, Is to be cited
into court by Mayor Hoctor, who says
ho will force Martin to use the money ac
cording to Hoctors plan. Martin told
the mayor that he would have to gel a
court order certainly before he would
allow the money that should go into the
interest and finking fund to reduce the
city debts and lower taxes to be used to
rtop holes In overdrawn funds for the
current yar
"I am unuer band," Martin told Hoctor,
"and I Intend to guard that money as
I understand the law and in strict ac
cord with the advice of the city's lega'
department" Hoctor said he would have
to get private counsel if the city legal
department continued to back up Martin's
views. Hoctor sat'd he expected to hold
a conference with City Attorney Henry
C. Murphy.
"I lntond to cite Treasurer P. J, Martin
Into court on next Monday morning said
Hoctor.1 lt.a -reporter ' last night tVVbon
asked about the 'matter City Treasurer
Martin said: "The mayor told mo about
his intentions this afternoon. They were
very Interesting but not convincing. 1
am no politician, but tho city has over
$2,000,000 of debt and more than J HO, 000 In
bonds coming due In 1915. Tho interest
and sinking fund Is designed to meet
that need when it arises. We have only
135,000 in the fund now and we ought to
have $100,000.
'I told the mayor ot this but he said
we could renew the bonds. We will have
to lay them off sometime or go into
bankruptcy. It means an Increase of
taxes every year If we pursue the policy
of using up the funds set aside In the
appropriations and then reaching Into
the back taxes for more. If the court
civs to do what the mayor asks all right.
But until that time I am going to do
what I think the law Intended for the
benefits of the taxpayers. lvam taking
no step without tho advice of the coun
sel provided by the people ot this city as
advisers of tho city officials and I havw
Instructed all my deputies ot my stana
In the matter."

With the exception of Morris and com
pany, whose tax assessment was reduced
iTB.OOO, all the big packers were left at
their figures of a year ago. The Union
Stock Yards waa given a raise of 130,000
over the county assessment The street
railway company was kept at its old
figures, J750.000. However, tho city at
large was raised in valuation to 329,799,607,
approximately as against $23,919,000 a year
ago. Of this amount the greater bur
den will be felt and the mill levy Wilt
reach something above 12 mills, which
Is a considerable increase over last year's
mill levy.
Yesterday was the big day for tho
board, which, however, transacted Its
business finally In a short space of time
Mayor Hoctor called the CUdahy people
first and C. W. Sears made a talk upon
the depreciation ot packing houses )n
general and Cudahy's In particular and
the sadness of being taxed above par,
Tom Alton, who used to work for a
packing house, but Is president of the
council, took up Mr. Sears remarks and
amplified on the expense of keeping up
a packing house. Then W. S. Selby rep
resenting Swift and MorrlB, read a letter
to the council and elaborated on tho
decline ot cattle and the falling away
of business for the packers and told
how the county assessors- had accepted
his plea.
At this Juncture, It C. Howe, general
manager of Armour ana company,
to get at appeared, Howe said he would
rather ask for a 20 per cont decrease
than defend' a 20 per cent raise and let
it go at 'that The board took all th
-es under advisement. It was sug
(Tested that they be taken up separately
by City Treasurer Martin, who moved
that none of the plants bo made to bear
tho burden of the others and that what
one got all should get.
So It ended with a raise for the stock
yards, a decrease for Morris and com'
uany.. It was saia inai Armour ana com
pany had been slated for a councllmanio
iwat, but some members of the board
insisted on the swat upplytiig all around

Tramp Is Injured.
James Northern, a one-lesged tramp,

noon when a car passed over ills right

sleeping by the tracks when the accident
occurred. The unfortunates left side,

Jufed and ho wai taken to the Clarkson
hospital in Omaha. Dr. It li Schlndel
attended him.
Northern lost his left leg In a New
York street car accident some years ago.
Since that tlmo ho has been a wanderer,
Yesterday ho spent the day on the streets
begging for enough money to take him
to Lincoln, where ho said he has friends.
A policeman ordered him aWay from
street cornorp and It is thought that he
then went-down near the' Hock Island
tracks to await an outgoing freight.
While waiting he Is thought to have
fallen asleep. The man was injured by
switching cut He Is about 3) year ot
nge. Northern said he came here from
Falls City. He lias no home.
Watch Cnium Trouble.
For lack of evidence Judge Janrs Cal-
lanan yesterday discharged William Pe
ters, charged with taking a gold watch
from a county hospital inmate, Wind and
minus ono arm. Toney Mitchell, the hos
pital patient told the Judge he hod given
the watch to Peters to raise money for
him while he was confined in the hospi
tal. Peters promised to rattle the watch
for $75 at 25 cents a chance. Then, It Is
said, Peters and his wife disagreed and
parted. Mrs. Peters Is said to have
pawned tho watch and Mitchell raised
an outcry. Mrs. Peters, It Is said, wilt
restore the watch to the original owner.
