Lincoln, Dec. 18. ( SpeciaD-'-The state insurance hoard has denied the application of the German Ameri can State Hank of Chalco for the appointment of a receiver for the Mutual Benefit, Health and Acci dent association of Omaha: that C. C. Criss, its manager .should be re moved as treasurer or that the .sum of $26,618.79, loss sustained by the bank because of the iucompetancy of its officers should be reimbursed to the bank. It holds that the licenses of W. C, Jenkins, J. W. McCarthy. F. C. Grovey and Fred 15. Atkins to so licit insurance are revoked and are denied the right to solicit insurance r i i "Evidence, in the opinion of the state insurance hoard indicates," the board says, "that Y. C. Jenkins. J. W. McCarthy, F. C. Grovey and Frsd H. Aclkins. agent, deliberately planned to corrupt the bank cashier and having done so, proceeded to write insurance for all classes of risks, accepting notes in payment thereof and discounting them at the German American State Hunk of Chalco, having full knowledge that, in many instances, the persons sign ing the notes had no financial re sponsibility and would not be able lo liquidate same when due. 'The insurance board finds that the said V. C. Jenkins, J. V. Mc Carthy, F. (". Grovey, and Fred i. Adkius, entered into a contract with the German American State Bank of Chalco, binding themselves individ ually and severally to make good any losses sustained by the bank by virtue of its transactions with the said insurance agents, which obli gation to the hank the agents have failed to discharge."

Y.M.G.A.T0 GIVE MEMBERSHIPS TO OMAHA. SOLDI ERS Association Entertains Four Hundred Khaki Clad Men in One Day With a Plunge. A free three-months membership in the OniaKa Young Men's Chris tian association is offered to each Omaha soldier returned from mili tary service. This action was taken at a directors' meeting held Tues day. Men who have returned are urged to make application for this privilege to George V. Campbell, membership secretary. In addition to this the associa tion will continue its policy of giv ing free visiting privileges to all men in uniform. This has been do:;e ever since the mobilization of troops at the beginning of the war. An average of 1,000 men per month have availed themselves of this priv ilege. Many Opportunities. "Evidences of the rapid demobili zation of our troops and the oppor tunity for the association to serve the men are marked," said R. S. i'lower, general secretary. "Four hundred soldiers tnroute east were entertained in the local building Tuesday. The commanding officer of the train wired for bathing ac commodations. Not only baths for this bunch, but everything else the r.ssociation could do for their com fort or pleasure was done.

Many of the men have come to the associa tion with employment problems. Mrs. Violet Cain McCuliough, No. 2616 Browne street, wife of John H. McCuliough, killed recently when a large motor truck fell through a bridge near Clermont, France, was one of the first of America's war brides, having been married April 9, 1917. just three days after the Unit ed States entered the war. Her hsuband, although only 28 years old when he was killed, has perhaps also the distinction of hay ing seen more years of service in proportion to his age than any other of Uncle Sam's men. In 1902. while a mere IsA of only 12 years, being unable to secure his parents' permission to join the army, lie ran away from home and in .some way succeeded in being accepted into the service and has been a proud wearer of the soldier's uni form since that time. In 1910 Frivate McCuliough came to Fort Omaha, where, except when he has been engaged in active serv ice, he has made his headquarters. In 1912 he went to the Philip pines, where for nearly two years he saw service as a member of the United States cavalry forces, and apain in 1916 he went to the Mexi can border with General Pershing. When the United States entered the war with Germany, being an expert wireless and signal servica man, he was transferred to the air service and soon after became mas ter electrician. During the sum mer of 1917 Private McCuliough was transferred to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where he remained until June, 1918, when he was ordered overseas. . While at Fort Omaha he distin guished himself as an athlete and uas quite prominent among base ball enthusiasts of the fort and city in general.

How great was a variation of wages paid by "big live" packing companies to work men doing the same class of work at plants in different cities, was testi fied to today by Dennis Lane, secre tary of the Amalgamated Meat Cut ters and Butcher Workmen's union, at the packing companies' wage hearing before Samuel Alschuler, a federal judge. The witness asked that the wages be made uniform in all cities affected by the hearing. Lane said that in ripening new branches in various cities the pack ing firms invariably sent men from Chicago to get the branches started and paid the Chicago wage. Later, he said, local men would be employ ed at lower rates and the Chicago men would be sent back to this city. He thought that competition be tween plant managers to keep down operating costs w as the cause of this procedure. Wants Pay Continued. Washington, Dec. 18.
