directors of the Auditorium association
mapped out for themselves Wednesday

The action of the board was taken In
view of the good showing made by the
report OF the earnings of the house for the
fiscal year just ended 1t was suggested
that the report justified a request to the
public to subscribe enough money to COM
plete the building.
Guy c. Barton said he would start the
subscription with 5000, payment condi-
tional on the raising of the remaining
$4,000 in thirty days. The board Jumped
at his proposition, agreed to begin the
campaign at once, and Mr.. Barton put
down his name for 5000.
The board authorized President Nash to
appoint a committee to organize the cam
paign. He Immediately announced that
the board would constitute a general com
mittee, and the special committee having
immediate charge of the matter would be
composed of the members of the executive
committee. which is to be appointed at once.

OMAHA Nov. S.--To the Editor OF The
Bee: In last nights Bee appears an article
under the caption of Insurance Men in
Court" that leaves the erroneous impress
sion that 1t was former officers of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany that are under arrest, and further
that article says: William F. Bechtel, for
mer president of the Northwestern Mutual
Life" etc. Mr.. Bechtel has never been an
officer or employee of the Northwestern Mu-
tual, but of the Northwestern National Life
Insurance company, which is the latest
name of baked-over assessment company
at Minneapolis, a concern that has fire.
quently changed name and consolidated and
absorbed a large number of defunct assess
ment companies but 1 am glad TO say has
never stolen the whole name Of the North
western Mutual Life Insurance company.

PRESIDENT EARLINe INNOCENT
chief Omcer of the Milwaukee would
Not Talk of object of Trip
to Portland.

President A. ]. Darling Of the Chicago.
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad passed
through Omaha Wednesday afternoon, en-
route to Portland, Ore. He arrived in his
private car st. Paul" on the Milwaukee
road and left at 4:2O on the Union Pacific.
He was met at Council Bluffs by +. A.
Nash, general western agent of the Mil
waukee, who was with him during his
stay in the city. the time being spent
mostly in looking over the improvements
at the union station.
Mr. Earring was asked as to the signifi
canoe Of his visit to Portland at this time,
but he said that he was simply looking
over the country with no special aim.
When asked as to the action of H. r.
Williams, he said that he knew nothing
about the matter.
II. r.. williams was formerly general
manager Of the Milwaukee. but resigned
to take the position of president of the
Pacific coast line, said by some to be a
part of the Milwaukee. 1t was given out
at the time that Mr. Williams had re-
signed in hun and that he was at outs
with the Milwaukee. This was considered
by many as blind and many think that
the Milwaukee is building the Pacific
route.
In Chicago IT is considered one Of the
huge jokes Of the season In the railroad
world how the Milwaukee is branching
out without the knowledge of any of its
stan officers. There Is no doubt that the
road Is extending itself to the Pacific
coast, and yet neither President Earling
or any members of his stan know anything
about II, at least that is what they say
Presidents of other western roads which
are building and which take their officers
and the public into their confidence, are
wondering how much longer the Milwau-
kee will be able to conceal from its own
officers the fact that II is building rail-
roads in the great west The Milwaukee
extensions are being constructed by the
Pacific railroad, which will build from
Seattle to wallula Junction, on the Co
lumbia river.
Where this line will join onto the other
lines is only known to II. r. Williams and
his associates, for the Milwaukee knows
nothing about IT, but the presumption is
that the line will be built on across South
Dakota.
A we'll known railroad man said: 1.-THE
visit of Mr.. Earring at this time to Port
land is quite significant, following as IL
does the reports OF Williams going to the
Pacific railroad. People can draw their
own conclusions"

THOMAS DIGS UP LOST WILL
original Of Last Testament Of Seth f,
Winch Given to Judge sesrL
ATTORNEY THOMAS FOUND DOCUMENT
Had Been Missing for Several Years,
while the Estate Involved Has
Been Subject of Intermin-
able Litigation.
AIIORNEY THOMAs EOUND DocUnENI

Seth F. winch's long lost will has been
found. Attorney E. E. Thomas brought
it to Judge Sears Wednesday afternoon,
saying he had found 1t among some papers
in his Office. The paper was at once sent
to the county court.
II will be recalled that at hearings in
the county and district courts in cases
involving this will Mr.. Thomas admitted
that he was the last man who had 1t
before its disappearance. He came into
possession of 1t as assistant county at
torney several years ago, and afterward
appeared in the courts as counsel for
those who were opposing the probating
of the will and the carrying out of its
provisions In the last trial involving
the viii. Judge Sears upheld the Thomas
side OF the argument and later overruled
a motion for new trial.
Now the attorneys for the proponent OF
the will, Mrs. Miranda ]. Steen, at one
time the wife of Winch, asserts that the
resurrection OF the instrument puts a
materially different aspect on the case
and that there will be a new trial. In
the former trials. while a copy admitted
to probate was i'm evidence, the testimony
was contradictory as to the terms Of the
will, and there was a contention that
Winch had made two Wills
