NEW YORK LIFE LEADS
An Excellent Report 10 Be FoIIowl d by New Policy.

As indicated in our press dispatches this morning the New York Life has made a wonderful move in the direc- tiOn of libe-aliZing the policy contract. Moved by the strong statements of the New York insurance department experts who claimed it to be the most liberal policy contract ever issued by any company, we were led to investi- gate the matter, and find that the main changes consist in making the policy absolutely -fOrfeitabk from date Cf issue; that is to say, after a policy holder has paid one premium and is so unfortunate as not to be able to pay the second, his rolicy will nevertheless run for several months longer. At the end of the second year in case of diScOntinuancC, the company grants paid-up or extended insurance
 The policy also contains a guaran- tee to make loans thereon at per cent interest dt any time after the second year, the amount increasing yearly. A lapsed policy can be rein stated at any time within five years. The policy states clearly that it is ab- SOlutely free of all conditions as to residence, occupation or travel and as to manner, time or place of death, and is absOlueel incOntestable from date of issue. The policy itself is q clear-cut contract. simply and c0ncisely worded;
 and anybody can understand it's terms and provisions no matter how unfa- miliar he may be with the subject or insurance in general. Nothing like 1t has ever been offered in the way of life insurance in che history of that business. This change, following inn mediately after the wonderful increase in this company's business last year

exemplifes the liberal spirit that ac- tuates its officers in their dealings with their policy holders. This com rany is purely mutual, and the policy holders receive the entire benefit of all profits of the company.

CANNED BEER CAUSES FIGHT
Nine COIored Women Throw Chairs
ana Bric-n-Brnc, Mingled with
Oaths, ut Each other.

Nine colored women and one man had a
merry time yesterday about a. M,
at the corner of Ninth and Dodge streets.
The man furnished the women with funds
to pay for all the cans of beer they wanted
to rush until he got them filled for any
aifray in which they might want to take
part. Some one started a ruction. Chairs,
bric-a brac and any old articles that were
not nailed down were thrown, the whole
crowd apparently being bent upon the de-
struction OF their own furniture. Curses OF
the most blasphemous character could be
heard for blocks, The arrival OF Patrolman
Mccarthy, and later the coming OF Ser
geant Whalen with a squad of police was
all that prevented serious injuries from
being inflicted. They arrested all the &C.
cupants of the house and locked them up

court on the charge OF disturbing the peace

pleaded not guilty. Their trial was set for

RECENT RULING OF The SUPREME COURT
Suit Brought To Defeat Special Tax
for Paving and Curbinp Doug
las street from sixteenth
To Twentieth,

The recent ruling Of the supreme court
that notice of the sitting Of n board Of
equalization must contain a description of
the property and the names OF the owners
furnishes a partial basis for a suit that has
been begun by Douglas street property own
ers to Kill the special tax assessed for paw
ing and curbing the street from Sixteenth to
Twentieth. The petitioners are Helen Aub,
Joseph Aub Elizabeth Dufrcnc, Alvin
Saunders and Lillian O. Maui. They rep
resent that in 1892 the city council passed
an ordinance by which that portion of the
street was created as street Improvement
district No. AIS and that shortly afterward
a petition was filed by property owners in
which Colorado sandstone was designated as
the material. The mayor and council pro-
ceeded to pave the street and assess the
cost, which amounted to $16,S29.0S 1t is
now asserted that the petition was de-
fective in that it did not represent ma
jority of the abutting property and it is
also contended that the proceedings OF the
board of equalization were illegal because
the notice was not sufficient. 1t is also de-
cared that number of items for excavation
and overhaul were included in the tax, which
are not legally part of it. For these
reasons the court is asked to declare the tax
illegal and enjoin the city from further ef-
fort to collect it.

DAVID HICKS rs a nIGu ROLLER
Lives RiotOusly ON - Month ana
His wife Sues for Divorce.


II there Is truth in the allegations made
by Belle Hicks in a petition That she has
filed in district court for a divorce from
David Hicks, David is a 'high roller" be-
fore whose dizzy flights the achievements
of Coal Oil Johnny" become insignificant.
Belle tells a story of wanton expenditure
that ought to have boosted the bank clear
ings into eight figures, and because David
insisted on throwing his money away In
stead of spending it on mis- family she pro-
poses to rustic for herself during the re-
mainder of Ter existence.
Mrs. Hicks alleges that she was married
to the defendant in 1890, and tuat he soon
acquired an appetite for the dissipations
that have since ruptured their marital re-
latiCns. She says that for a long time he
had job taking care of seven lights AT
the Druid Hill crossing of the Belt Line
railroad, for which he received 81 in harG
cash at the end of every month. But in
stead of devoting this princely income to
his domestic affairs he spent it all in a
continual round of high living. Belle de-
clares that he spent his time in saloons
and other resorts where fool can get quick
action on his money, and that he came
home drunk seven nights in the week with
unvarying regularity. Not Il dollar of nis
salary" came her way, and she was forced
to earn living doing washing and ironing
while her lord continued to waste his sub
stance in riotous living. Nine years of this
life have been enough for her and she asks
the court for deliverance and alimony.

willing to Pay Two Per Cent.

Representatives of the local county depos-

Board of County Commissioners yesterday
to talk over the question of the deposit
Of county funds. They positively declined to
give a bond to pay per cent interest, as re-
uuired by law. but suggested that they would
be willing to pay per cent if the board
would be satisfied with that figure. AS the
law is positive in its demand for the larger
premium, it is not believed that the board
has any right to accept a less figure, and
the parties are no nearer an understanding
than before.

QUICK TURN BY Mr.. SHIELDS
Hot to Prosecute Gamblers One Day,
Pigeonholes Complaints Next
NO QUESTION AT ALL ABOUT EVIDENCE
More Interesting Testimony brought
out in Dispositions in the Libel
suit Instituted Against
The Bee.

The deposition of John j. Donahue, cap
tain of the Omaha police just taken in the
case Of Shields against The Bee Publishing
company for damages for alleged injury to
his reputation, brings out facts with refer
ence to County Attorney Shields peculiar
operations in connection with the South
Omaha slot machine men,
Captain Donahue was acting chief OF po>
lice of Omaha for thirty days beginning
March 13 last, and in that capacity was
called upon by Mr.. Shields to investigate
certain complaints about automatic gam
bling devices in Omaha. Although the slot
machines have been shut down in Omaha
for long time a few people had put in
machines with the assurance that they were
to be operated as trade machines, but when
1t was found that some of them were paying
money they were promptly closed by the
Omaha police.
Captain Donahue related the CONVERSE
tions he had had with Nlr. Shields on this
matter which led up TO conversation oh
the street car on the day of March %.
Questioned by Attorney Simeral for the de-
Tense as to what was said Captain Donahue
testified:
"Mr. Shields asked me how I came to
know about the slot machines and | told
him that / had couple Of men detailed
making the rounds of the places where
these large machines were in use and that
they all had these cards on, that it would
be used only as a trade machine and that
it could only be used in trade, but l made
them take them all out, as did not believe
they were running as trade machines.

Was Shields on the Square.

"I told him a great many people were
finding fault with the fact claiming that
there were slot machines running in South
Omaha. with money in the slot machines
and running there to a great extent. He
told me that was not true, that he had
stopped all of that and that there was no
money in the slot machines running in
South Omaha. He had made an nvestiga-
ton of that matter and ordered them all
taken out some time before"
Seeing that Mr. Shields either did not
know what he was talking about or was
not acting in good faith, Captain Donahue
made little investigation of his own, the
facts of which were related in the answer,
stating conversation had in Mr.. Shields
office in the presence of Oscar Karbach on
the following Monday, as follows:
I'VE went into his office. 1 had called
him up before going over and told him
l was coming over to see him. He
said he would be there. We went there
and l called his attention to the fact that
we had a conversation on the street car a
| few evenings before in regard to slot ma
chimes running in South Omaha. Well,
he says, yes and he says that is not so,
| they are not running down there He says,
L had a report from there last Friday and
| there are no machines running down there
with money in the slot machine

well, l just handed him a report, or a

| the officers l sent to South Omaha to make
an investigation on Saturday night. That re-
port, as l understand. showed that they
visited twenty eight places and found
twenty slot machines running in
those twenty eight places"
Query: For money!"
YES for money. After reading the re-
port Mr. Shields went to the telephone and
called somebody. l do not know who, but
Mr.. Thomas came in and he stated to Mr.
Thomas, his deputy county attorney, that
his man in South Omaha was simply mis-
representing things to them. That he had
not stopped the slot machines; that they
were still running, and he called his at
