RAISEJN RATES
Grand . Lodge Decides . Host
Substantial Increase Neces
sary to Preserve Lodge.
NO RAISE IK THE FTTUBE
A most substantial raise in rate was
the result of the special session of the
grand lodge of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen of Nebraska, called
to readjust the rates paid by members
and to fix the rates that will apply to
those subsequently joining the order.
The readjustment was a radical ad
vance in the rates paid by old mem
bers. However, according to officers
of the grand lodge, it was an advance
in rates or go out of business.
The rates adopted are in line with
those of the National Fraternal con
gress, an organization made up of the
fraternal associations of the country.
Under the readjustment certificates
of insurance will be issued for $500,
$1,000, $1,500 and $2,000. Males be
tween the ages of 18 and 45 years will
be admitted, provided they make ap
plication, pass the required medical
examination and are of good moral
character.
Under the old plan the conditions
relating to admission were the same
as now, but the rates were consider
ably lower and were on the class plan
' so far as age was concerned. For in
stance, members between 18 and H
years, inclusive, paid 75 cents per $1,
01)0 per month assessments; 25 to 29,
85 cents; 30 to 54, $1; 35 to 59, $1.15;
40 to 44, $1.30; 45 to 49, $1.40. and
over 50, $1.50 during their lifetime,
providing they Continued in good
standing.
No Future Rait. . "'
The new plan, it is contended, raises
the rates sufficiently so that assess
ments will take care of death losses in
the future and will obviate a future
increase unless . some unexpected
emergency should arise. It applies to
all members now in the order and to
those who subsequently join. It is
figured that the rate required to be
paid at the age of joining will carry
the member through' life. . No one
will be accepted as a new member
who is more than 45 yean of age. The
new rates are as follows, those in the
table providing for. payments after 45
years of age has been reached, having
reference to those who were memhers
prior to the readjustment:

to pay them, he msv assign one.half
the face value of his certificate to the
grand lodge. Then and thereafter the
grand lodge will take care of the as

No Complaints About
Young Girls Ruined,
Says County Attorney
When the attention of County At
torney Maguey was called to the
printed story that an inquiry into the
relations of Omaha , business men
with young girls is the purpose of
the call for the grand jury, he de
clared that if, such conditions existed
in Omaha, they would have been re
ferred to his office long before this.
"Not a complaint of that nature has
ever been brought to me," said Mr.
Magney. "We would sift any such
charges to the very bottom arid prose
cute to the limit anyone charged with
such conduct as mentioned in the
story in question. .
"Furthermore," added -Mr. Mag
ney, "It would riot be necessary for
a grand jury to investigate serious
charges of that nature. We 'would
dor that, and do it in a hurry. If
anyone had Information that Omaha
men were debauching young girls,
they would, or at least it would be
their duty, to call our attention to it.
lust as if we would think of waiting
for a grand jury to investigate such
charges." I
' Judge Charlei Leslie, given as the
authority for the report, declared that
he had been misquoted. "I did not
say anything about Omaha business
men, nor did I mention in my casual
remarks anything about 'the principal
subject of an investigation."-
The chief probation officer and all
the juvenile court officials said that
if they had evidence of such offenses,
they would immediately so to the
county attorney and make complaints
at once. Of course, we would not
wait for s grand jury to have such
cases prosecuted."
Floyd Fuller Will Be
Arraigned Next Week
Owing to the fact that his attorney
is out of the citv. Flovd Fuller, who
snot -and killed Dorothy Kader-Lar-
oerry at .twenty-tilth and rarnam
streets on December 21, last, will
probably not be arraigned before
Judge Sears of the criminal court un
til next week. An information chars'.
ing Fuller with first degree murder
has been drawn in the office of County
Attorney Magney, but it is expected
that the slayer of the Rader-Carberry
woman will plead guilty to second de
gree murder in order to escape the
death penalty. A prisoner cannot
picau guilty 10 nrst degree mnraer.

Heart balm to the amount of $10,-
000 is asked by Rebecca Sussman,
38 years old, a widow, who alleges
that Dr. Otto Baum, an eye specialist,
'exhibiting great love and affection,"
promised to marry her and then fell
down on the job. Dr. Baum is 52
years old.
In a petition filed with the clerk
of the district court the widow sets
forth that the oculist even went so
war as to obtain a marriage license
before his ardorv cooled to a notice
able degree. Mrs. Sussman is backed
by the official records in that respect,
for Cupid Mubbendorf issued a
marriage license on November 17,
1916, to "Otto Baum and Rebecca
Sussman." '
One of the most lamentable facts
in the breach of oromise case, ac
cording to the widow, is that she
prepared her wedding trousseau
and was all ready for the "big day"
when the optic doc, so she alleges,
backed out of his agreement. ,
Speed, Speed, Speed.
Judging from the allegations in
Mrs. Sussman's petition, Dr. Baum
waa some wooer. She says that she
and her intended husband became ac
quainted on October 1, last. He
popea tne question on November i,
she alleges, and the wedding day was
let for November 26. He inter
viewed the marriage license clerk on
November 17. The records show
the license has never been returned.
Mrs. Sussman asserts that she re-
Keatedly asked Dr. Baum to marry
er, contending that he just as re
peatedly refused.. That he talked of
the approaching wedding in the pres
ence of others is one of the widow's
allegations. .
As long as Dr. Baum exhibited the
alleged "great love and affection"
Mrs. Sussman is of the opinion that
a jury should see that she is recom
pensed at. least ten thousand iron
men to aid in repairing her broken
heart.

PEACE RESOLUTION
LEAP INTHE DARK
Lodge Says Hitchcock Would .
Precipitate Congress Into
Uncompleted Negotiations..
ACTION IS AGAIN DETERRED
Washington, Jan. 4. A vote on
Senator Hitchcock's resolution to
have the senate endorse President
Wilson's peace note was again post
poned today by the parliamentary
situation.
When debate was automatically cat
off by the expiration of the so-called
morning hour the question of con
tinuing precipitated a parliamentary
tangle during which Senator Works
of California took the floor to deliver
a prepared speech marking his re
tirement from the senate.
Technically, he was speaking on a
motion to continue the peace note de
bate, but actually he was delivering
his valedictory, which was long
enough to take four or five hours.
The effect of his action was to put
the Hitchcock resolution over an
other day.
Senator Lodge, completing his argu
ment against the resolution, declared
its adontion would be a leap in the
dark and precipitate congress into the
midst ot incompleted negotiations
concerning which it knew nothing.
Senator lewis, democrat, of Illinois,
began a defense of the resolutioncon
tending it did not involve the nation
in the unprecedented situation sug
gested by Senator Lodge.
Senator Lewis argued that the
resolution would merely approve the
action of the president in sending a
note requesting terms of peace and
not the contents of the note which
might involve other issues.
Senator Lodge corrected his transla
tion of the German ambassador's pub
lished statement praising the note for
which he yesterday assailed the en
voy. "-. ...
' "In translating the ambassador's
statement," Senator Lodge, "I
quoted it as stating that 'Germany
stands ready to follow him,' meaning
the; president. I have been informed
that the German word was used in the .
sense of 'it' and not 'him' and that
the phrase 'meant that Germany was
willing to follow the 'Star of Bethle
hem,' thus carrying out the pleasing
parallel in the ambassador's ' state
ment between the president's note
and the Star of Bethlehem.
"I do not think, however, that the
change alters the essential meaning
of the ambassador's statement."
, BerastorfFs Statement.
; Ambassador Bernstoff's statement,
referred to, as re-translated by Sen
ator Lodge, would read:
"As once the Star of Bethlehem
from afar led the kings of the Orient
through the night to the fulfillment
of their hopes, so through the dark
ness of this useless murder in Europe
there shines out of fhe words of Presi
dent Wilson the light of new message
of peace on earth. ,
"Germanv stands ready to follow it.
Assured of its strength, but not ar
rogant, conscious that it drew the
sword, not out of lust of conquest,
but' for the defense of its national
existence, it does not ask for ahen
territory, but for safety from attack
and against alliances that threaten
the ipeace of the world."
