WAITING FOR CLOSE OF INVESTIGATION



LINCOLN. Oct. 6.-(Specinl. auditor f.
NJ. Searle, who Is the head Of the state
insurance department, stated today that he
will take no action with reference to the
three big New York companies until the
legislative investigation II completed, when
he will determine whether or not they can
be permitted to do business in the state
with the present oficial personnel subject
az Il is TO grave charges. He has no de-
sire TO act hastily and will give the matter
thorough consideration at what he deems
the proper time.
Tomorrow IL is planned to have Examiner
II. 8. virgins OF the department start for
New York to cooperate with the insurance
officials OF other states in examining the
records OF the big Three" companies. He
is to be there on Monday to assist in the
work. Deputy Pierce, who is in direct
charge of insurance matters. has just re-
turned from his eastern trip, where he
made arrangements with the oficials of
other states for cooperation in the work
by Mr Virgins. Should the state experts
uncover any new facts OF vital importance
TO the investigation. It is believed that final
action may be deferred until they have
completed their work, although the dispo-
Sition is now evident TO decide as to the
right Of the companies to do business as
soon as the New York investigation com
mittee sums mp
The Nebraska department is disposed TO
do everything in its power for the protec-
ton of the policyholders in the insurance
companies, but far not the slightest
doubt has ever been felt as to their SOL
vency. and for that reason it was believed
that the situation did not call for hasty
action. II has been known that the insurer
in those corporations were greatly inter
ested In the revelations which have been
made concerning the use OF the funds in
which they have a share, but no demand
has been made for any action looking
towards the disbarment OF the companies.
The department has full power under the
statutes Of the state to make any reasona-
BILE requirement under penalty of revoking
the licenses of companies. The auditor
will have the power, II he considers the
offeuses charged to the managing officials
of the companies grave enough, to revoke
the licenses without delay, unless an agree
ment is reached to turn out the officials
who are involved and replace them with
new blood.

FREMONT, Neb, Oct. 6.-(Special.)-A

hear from her son and that her daughter

two such children on her hands she was

managed to worry along somehow. She
was too proud to apply for assistance and
probably did not realize the desperate con-
dition of the children. This morning the
youngest child died. and the grandmother
applied to the authorities to bury it. A
little stale milk and few crackers were
all the food in the house. The dead child
weighed but FIVE pounds, and In the opin-
ion of the physicians died of starvation
The other baby was in critical condition
from lack of proper food, and the appear

many dime novels, and haying a burning
desire to hold somebody up, came to town
with a revolver in his pocket, and after
dark walked down the street, going east
out of town in search Of dark spot in
which to Turk for his prey. Soon he heard
a man coming, and his disordered brain
told him this man was jingiing money.
Cooking his revolver at just the right mo-
ment, he presented the muzzle to his VIC
tim and made his demand. Instead Of a
ready compliance. however, heavy stick
descended on the hand that held the gun.
and he says caused him TO pull the trigger.
