Auditor Cornell has commenced to
collect Il shortage of So. 900 left over
by former Auditor Eugene Moore of
Nebraska. Monday 81! of the amount
came rolling into the auditors office at
Lincoln and MIR. Cornell feels quite en-
couragcd. lie believes he will get the
other S?l .9?s in due time. The Ham
rg-Bremcn Fire Insurance company
of Germany. represented by general
agents at Chicago. was the first to pay
their share of the Moore shortage. The
firm of agents made u sour face over
the bill. hut forwarded the money and
registered objections. They volun-
teered Il little advice in the way of a
suggestion that the Nebraska legisla-
turc ought to reimburse the insurance
companies that pay the shortage. Au-
ditor Cornell is trying to collect the
money under a decision of the NebraS-
ka supreme court. which holds that
the fees paid by insurance companies
to Mr.. Moore was not the money of the
state. that Mr.. Moore had no authority
under the constitution to receive it. in
