The special message of Governor Poyn-

committee of two be appointed by the presl-
dent to confer with committee from the
house in investigating the charges. Senator
Currie Of Custer also had motion reading
in the language of a resolution prepared

WELL AWARE OF THE PRACTICE
Local Insurance Agents Knew of
Holdup Methods Adopted by
state Auditors Office.

To Omaha life insurance agents the eX-
pose in The Bee of the holdup methods of
the insurance department of the Office of
State Auditor Cornell was not entirely
revelation. Not all Of them were aware
OF the extent to which the various COM
panies were being victimized, but most of
them declare that they have known for
some time that there was something rot
ten In the system now in effect. Many
agents are now at the capital to look after
their interests in connection with the two
insurance bills now before the legislature,
but those who remain are almost unit
in condemnng the methods practiced by
the auditor and his deputies and in n de-
mand for a system of insurance supervision
that will make further outrages impossible
Some suggest that this can best be effected
by the appointment Of an insurance COM
mission, while others are in favor of one or
the other bills before the Legislature.
Another holdup develops in connection
with the National Life of Vermont. In the
early part Of January. 1898, its home in
Montpelier was visited by o. W. Palm, the
insurance representative of the state of Ne
braska. He made demand that he be al
lowed to check over the books in his official
capacity, but his demand was refused. He
left Montpelier and returned to Nebraska
and from here forwarded a bill for over
5000 for his services. Payment of the bill
was refused and for three months the Ma
tional was refused license to do
business in Nebraska In April, how
ever some sort of an arrangement was made
by (which the company was permitted to go
ahead with its business, although the bill
was not paid at that time. Sometime about
the first of December or the last of Noyem-
hp Is Eui tn hnVa haa a
by the home office, The company has never
been bothered since by the representative of
the insurance commissioner. Its books have
never been examined, as they at the time
refused Palm access to them, so the pay
ment was plainly a holdup OF the most
fragrant kind.
Here Is what some of the agents say:
G. u, Gould of the Penn Mutual
Life--I am thoroughly satisfied that the
charges made by Mr.. Lichty are in the main
correct. So far as / know, however, our
company has not been held up. cer-
tanly think that measures should be taken
TO put stop to these abuses, but what
these measures should be is subject for
mature consideration. 1t seems TO me that
Nebraska has reached the point where an
insurance commission can be afforded, but
this system would involve some additional
expense, and l am not ready at this time
TO say that II is the only solution OF the
difficulty.
