"BILLY" THOMPSON BEATEN-BY SINK State Democratic Committee Chairman Defeated for . Delegate. ,. ,1 OUT OF POSTMASTBE I10ET Grand Island, Neb, July 22. Spe- cial. Telegram) Chairman W. H. Thompson of the democratic state committee was defeated in his home county today as delegate to the state convention by John W. Sink, the vote standing 70 to 60. Mr. Thompson's close friends admit that the defeat was the result of the recent postoffice appointment in this city, he having as state chairman pressed Congressman Shallenberger and Senator Hitchcock for the present appointee, against the protests of many democrats, among whom were friends of J. C. Gerspacher, county chairman and of J. W. Sink, both of whom were candidates for the post mastership. I The first fight came on the adoption of credentials in which fight the Hitchcock forces were aligned against the Bryan faction, the former having the assistance of Mayor Ryan. The second fight came on the selection of a delegate-at-large, in which Sink was placed in opposition to Thompson. The latter was elected as one of the numerous alternates. Aside from the natural partisan endorsements the convention declared m favor of the state highway commissioner plan. Lancaster Dems Slow. (From a SU(t Correepondent.) Lincoln. July 22. (Special.) When the Lancaster county democratic con vention was called to order toaay, just forty-eight delegates . were in their seats, though about as many spectators and others were in the rear of the hall. -' However, on motion of John Cut right he was authorized to go out in the byways and hedges and bid them come in, and after as hort duration of time Mr. Cutright returned trailing behind him enough so that County Chairman North decided there , was enough to start business. . - On roll call, it was found that six city precincts and twenty county precincts were not represented, a strong contrast, to , the republican county convention a week ago when over 400 delegates were present rep resenting all precincts in the city and all but about half a dozen in the country, ' C, J, Campbell was elected chair man, the fight between Mr. Campbell and J. S. McCarty not developing. "Fixing" the Bryans. " The fine Italian hand of Felix New ton could be seen as a result of sev eral days' hard work in the city pre cincts, in which Mr. Newton had spent much time in an effort to secure dele gations in opposition to the Bryans. That he succeeded was showr) by the workings of the convention. Just be fore the Convention C convened Mr. Newton, armed with a big package of proxies, was flying here and there arming his crowd with rthe deadly pa lltrcal missiles. -' ' '.&. ' In the convention he moved back ward and forward with a smile here and a smile there, so confident was he that he had the thing fixed. "1 fixed the Bryans," said he enthusiastically after tne convention was over. "I made 'em be good. We gave 'em a few little things just to show 'em we nad the power to do it. , ' ,.Th Delegates. . Mr. Newton was one of the dele gates selected to the state convention which ' convenes in Hastings next Tuesday, other important democrats on the delegation being: John Cut right, O. F. Dolan, John G. Maher, J. C. McCarty, O. W. Meier, John Gilli gan, J. A. McGuire. P. F. Ackerman, C. W. Bryan, Jacob North, J. M. De vine, H. E. Gooch. W. S. Ridgell, Dr. P. L. Hall, W. M. Morning, E. Arthur Carr, L. B. Tobin, C. L. Roe, Sam Hinkle and John W. Jones., Resolutions endorsing President Wilson, Governor Morehead, Senator Hitchcock, development of the state's water power, a moximum telephone rate and condolences on the death of F. W.

COST OF SECURING INSURANCE HERE Commissioner Eastham Com ments on High Percent age of Lapses. . 50 riQUEES ON COST (Srom a Staff Correepondent.) Lincoln, July 22. (Special.) Ac cording to the forthcoming report of Insurance Commissioner Eastham, during the year 1915 sixty legal re serve life insurance companies oper ated in this state, thirty-five being stock companies with capital and sur plus of nearly $76,000,000, and twenty-five of them mutual companies with "unassigned funds or surplus funds of nearly $109,000,000. Premiums for eYar. These sixty companies, eleven of which are Nebraska corporations, re ceived in premiums last year from Nebraska business $6,679,492, which was seven-tenths of 1 per cent of the total income received by such com panies from their entire business in the United States. The Nebraska losses incurred by these sixty companies in 1915 amounted to $1,592,394, which was a little more than two-tenths of 1 per cent o fthe total disbursements of such companies in the United States. No figures are available, according to Commissioner Eastham, to show the cost of .producing business in Ne braska, but the relation of premium income to losses incurred is as fol lows: Premium Income In Nebraaka M.I7S.4S1 Nebraaka loeeei Incurred , 1.6SI.384 1 : Total in Force. The total amount of life insurance in force in Nebraska December 31, 1915, carried by these sixty com panies was $249,582,921. Based on this figure, the Nebraska premium income averages $6.34 per $1,000 of insurance in force, or, in other words, the Nebraska premium income aver ages $6.25 per $1,000. Continuing the report reads:1 "The amount of Nebras aklife in surance which ceased in 1915 was as follows: ' Oroee amount ceased , , . . . 2S,7S,2T4 Death losses Incurred l,t9Z,M4 Numerous Lapses. "Thus, the surrenders, lapses and changes of life insurance policies in Nebraska during 1915 equal 56.2 per cent of i the entire business written that yer. This showing; if carefully analyzed, wilt undoubtedly reveal a phase of life insurance business which is not to be commended. In the mad scramble for 'business in surance policy holders are induced to surrender a good policy in a good company for what they are led to be lieve is a better company, and this makes the cost of securing new busi ness very high. Just what the insur ance department may do to correct this evil is now nnder consideration and will be commented on later." Notes From Beatrice. Beatrice, Neb., July 22.-.(Special.) John Huntling of thiscitjr ,was ar rested yesterday for passing a check for $15 at Wilkinson's meat market without having any funds in the bank. Huntling appeared at the market, pur chased 50 cents' worth of meat and presented the check for $15, receiving $14.50 in cash. When Mr. Wilkinson found that Huntling had no money in the bank he had him arrested. He was released after making good the amount of the check. A Burlington train ran into a herd of twenty horses near Diller, killed three of them and injured the fourth so badly that it died. R. B.
