The question as to subscription
of stock thea came up, and George
Mehringer. Joseph Gerber and An

committee to circulate the articles
of organization and solicit subscrlp-
tons of stock thereto, as soon as
possible, and when the 400 shares
are fully subscribed to report to the
directors, who will then choose
their officers, and put the associa-
ton into operation.
The following Directors f>r the

1t was generally understood
that after the canvass had beer

Are UNCONSTITUTIONAL
INSURANCE. LAWS ARE ASSAlLED BY
INSURANCE MEN.
Temporary Restraining Order From
Federal Court Prevents InvOk-
ing of Penalties.

OMAHA. Neb.. Jan. 16.-Al the strong
fire insuranc" companies Of the east finally
have concluded to make an effort to de5-
strOY the force Of the laws bearing
their business PASSED by the farmer
legislature of Nebraska last year. To
that end Judge Munger Of the federal
court at Omaha has been appealed to and
is expected to declare that the recent ell
actments of which the companies complain
are in conflict with the constitution of the
United States and thcrfurt void. The
court has set Jan. Is on which he Will de-
eide the uuGsti DnS IT issue. In the mean
time the court has granted a temporary
order restraining ali officials of the state
OF Nebraska from attempting to enforce
the laws in question or from attempting
to apply the penalties prescribed for the
failure of the insurance companies to COM
plv with the r2S- idw.
Insurance companies signing the petition
are the NIAGARA Falls of New York, the
German-American of New York. the Ma
tional OF Hartford, the Fire and Marine of
Massachusetts and the Fire Associa ton of
Philadelphia. Agents of these companies
declare that they are also authorized by
by all other fOcci:sH companies to join them
in the litigation.
The two acts Gssaicd in the Petition

did not concern Themselves with the man
agement Of the property.
The Union Pacific csel opened George
Gould's eyes. He was interested in that.
1t behooved him to take a more active
interest III his millions invested in the ee-
waited railway.
1t is not to be believed that George
Gould did not know of the straits into
which the property had fallen. 1t has
stood stockstill for years.
While other methods Of transportation in
the city have advanced with tremendous
strides the elevated railroad has not
moved. There has not been a single i'm
portant Improvement. unless the better
lights introduced can be called one and
that was forced upon the road by law.
There is no open rupture between the
men. The fact remains. however, that
George Gould has taken control of the
elevated railroads, and thdt Russell Sage
has no voice in their management. Gould S
interest in the elevated is probably three
times that of Sage'S. Moreover, Gould con-
trolls four-htths of the directors.
AND THIS is THE END OF ALL.
There is another side to this story. and it
is not without pathoS. Russell Sage who
was once mighty, is mere figure

rate of interest on loans, but eXacting big
commissions for making them
In the evening of his lone life he finds
every hand turned against him. He no
longer has the courage 10 fight back Any
man with SJO.G00.000 and his experience and
knowledge could be dangerous if he chose.
But the men OF Wall street know that he
will not risk his own money. and that he
can no longer get other people to work
Nth him. So he is harmless.
The passing of Russell Sage is accom-
panied by great wealth, but neither honors
nor love go with him.

was foundation for the fears of the insur-
ance companies that a very hostile move
was about to be made.
According to the petition the companies
some time ago did form an association for
the purpose Of eQualiZing rates and placed
Hartman at the head. He was employed be-
cause he was believed to know the value
Of property and risks in the state and be-
cause it was more economical for all the
companies to employ one man than for each
to secure a separate man. 1t is asserted
that this combination was dissolved before
the acts passed by the legislature became
laws and that it never has been revived.
After this dissolution Hartman entered into
an agreement with each one OF the COM
paneS to do the same work, but it is en-
phatically denied that these compan MES en-
ployed Hartman as an association. 1t is al
legged that each company can and does fire.
quently refuse to accept these rates, though
it is admitted that Hartman's rates are
generally accepted. The petition further al
leges that State Auditor Cornell was about
to summon the agents of the companies be-
fore him. ascertain if they were violating
the new laws and that he intended to bar
companies so acting from doing business
in the state.
One of the main contentious is that the
acts contrary to the laws of the Unit ed
States, as they tend TO impair the obliga-
tions of contracts. The companies alege
state twenty years ago in good faith and
were given authority to do so. They claim
that it would be violation of this con-
, tract. entered into twenty years ago, and
that they would sustain great damage If
they were now debarred from doing bust
ness in Nebraska.
| Again. it is alleged that the second law
tends to revoke the companies authority
| to do business in the state without judicial
inquiry. The act gives the auditor of pub
| lie accounts authority to revoke this priv
| ilege. 1t is asserted that this is out of his
province, that the power should be placed
| in the hands of the department known as
| the judiciary, under the constitution OF the
| state. 1t is cOntended that the provision
| that appeal may be taken to the dis
| trict court is void from the fact that the
| auditor is not judicial body and that,
! therefore. the judicial department of the
| state cannot take cogniZance OF his de-
| ciSlOnS.
These are the grounds which all state
| officials are asked II be permanently en-
| joined from acting under their alleged
| authority to interfere with the business of
| the insurance companies in Nebraska

How Mckinley Is Redecming His
Campaign Promises to Open the
Mills Instead Of the Nints.

BOSTON, Jan S.-A reduction in the
wages Of about 125.o0o operatives employed
in nearly 20 cotton mills in
New England which the manu-
facturers decided upon tenn
porary remedy for depression in the cotton
goods industry of the North, went into eff
feet IN majority of the mills yesterday.
In several mill centers, namely, New Bed
cord and Bddeford, Saco and Lewiston.
Maine, dissatisfaction among the mill
hands is intense and strikes on The
eighteen mills of the former city, which
give employment to about nine thousand
hands have been Shut down because the
operatives have refused to accept the re-
ducton and the contest thus .inaugurated
promises to be one of the most intense IN
the history Of the textile industry. The sit
uation in New Bedford is very gloomy.
Business there had not recovered from the
depressio which followed the failure OF
six mill corporations last spring. The 3,JU
employees at the L.acon and PeppeTell mills
in BidJcford Me-. refused to go to work
this morning under the new schedule. and
it is thought the strike there will not be
settled easily. Some OF the employees of
York mills, of Saco, also joined the Bdde-
ford movement.
The Androscoggin mills IN Boston ana
King Philip plant in Fall River were handi-
capped by a strike of a number Of hands
and the Queen City mills of burlington.
VT. have been closed on account of a strike
which followed the posting of notices of a
reduction. An incident at the Acushu-t
mills in New Bedford. in which dirt and
stones were thrown at the managers with
out doing any harm, was the nearest APP
preach to serious trouble.
Last night found the textile operatives
everywhere intently interested in the New
Bedford struggle, for here the test of
strength and endurance will come. and upon
the outcome will depend the question of
an industrial battle the entire length and
breadth of the New England states. The
chief point in this battle will be discipline,
and the first command of organized labor
brought we'll nigh perfect obedience.
From the point of view of the mill owner
the New Bedford situation is a lock-
out. Intervention by the state board Of
arbitration this week is hardly likely 10
be allowed. and no overt act on the part
of the strikers and cttempt TO open
mill is expected for number Of days.
The New Bedford strikers will receive
strike money from operatives elsewhere.
