LINCOLN, June 4.-(special. president
Rector Of the American Accident asso-
citation, formerly the woodman Accident
association, accompanied by Attorney
Aleck. was here this morning from
Omaha to discuss with Auditor Weston and
Insurance Deputy Pierce the suit now
pending against the company in Douglas
county. The men wanted to know II they
could not resume business by a reorganiza-
tion of the company by the infusion OF
new blood and one thing and another.
They were told to get into court and there
tell their troubles.
Mr.. Pierce said the company had been
doing business without license from the
state, and that it's organization and its
methods were both wrong. He said the
company was composed of two directors
and a president and one of the directors
was the president. He said that so far
as he could learn no record or minutes
were kept of the meetings of the board
of directors. and many other little details
had been lost sight Of by the company.
As to the company's methods Mr.. Pierce
said he had several communications in
his office where parties who carried in
surance alleged they had not been paid
according to the contract in the policy.
Pay Bill for Execution.
The bill for the execution OF Gottlieb
Nieginfind has finally been allowed by the
Board of Public Lands and Buildings. The
total bill allowed was for $253.s0. OF this
George Stryker of Omaha received $3.50,
of which $40 went for the rope; Douglas
county gets $50 for the scaffold, and $3.50
goes ito allowance as per order of the
board" This sum is supposed to go to
Warden Beemer. because he was warden at
the time of the execution, and with which
to pay the incidental expenses of the ex-
ecution The bill was given to the board
some time ago for $500, but as only the
SOB was itemized it was returned to the
warden.
Request f. Turned Down.
The mayor and the city council of Lin
coin, armed with much assurance and lots
of nerve, called upon the State Board OF
Public Lands and Buildings this afternoon
with a request and were turned down.
The request was that the state advance to
the city sufficient money to pay for paw
ing the street intersections around the
capitol The city, the officials said, did
not have any available cash, but would
have next fall, when 1t sold its pumpkins
and It would then repay the state. This
legislature appropriated money to pay for
the paving to be done by the state, but
the board did not feel justified in helping
out the city.
