Bogus Insurance Contracts.

Lincoln, June 4.-lnsuranCe Deputy
Pierce has discovered bogus insur.
ance contracts in existence in Ne
braska. They are issued by men who
erect lightning rods and purport TO
guarantee the of property
against loss by lightning. The con
tracts have been issued to farmers
near Plattsmouth and purport to in
demnify them in the sun of $500 for
a period OF five years. Pierce makes
this announcement: "An examination
of the document showed that it not
only was not an insurance policy, but
that ii was a fake as far as being a
guaranty agreement is concerned,
and that it was not a valid, binding
contract which can be enforced at
law"

RUM0RED THAT A NUMBER ARE
TO BE LET OUT
Chief Of Police AubIe Refuses to Con-
firm or Deny Report, While
Patrolnen Are Equally
Silent

Has the long-prophesied, wide-sweep-
ing change in the Los Angeles police
department come at last?
Rumors of the suspension Of patrol
men and detectives have been heard
around the central station for the past
few days.
None but the one concerning Detec-
tive David Sheran can be confirmed.
Sheran, one of the oldest members
of the department, with flawless
record so far as can be learned, has
been suspended because Of being abb
sent without leave when he should
have been on duty. according to Chief
of Police W. II. Auble.
HAS Detective Sheran been sus-
pended because he was absent without
leave?' was asked the chief yesterday,
and the reply was yes"
rs 1t true that there are others sus-
pended and being suspended?' was
asked Il cannot make public what
has been done before the matter
reaches the police commission" replied
the chief. at would not be right for
me to do So"
Other suspensions are to follow that
of Detective Sheran. Who is to be cut
down by the official ak Is not known.
Rumors are strong that other police
men will not be wearing uniforms and
stars by the end of the week.
All members of the police departm ent
refuse to talk and only answer that
they do not know.

The rain is over for the present, at
least so says the weather prophet.
The prophecy for today is clear
weather, warmer than yesterday. A
few showers, of little Importance, were
rrognosticated for last night, but fair
weather, with easterly changing to
northwest winds, is the story for to-
day.
A local rain is foretold for Southern
Arizona, and snow is to come in the
northern part. The storm which was
off the oregon coast Wednesday is
passing through the northern states.
The rain area covers the entire Pacific
slope and Rocky mountain regions,
turning to snow in some of the higher
elevations.
An area of high pressure is extend
ing inland from Point Conception and,
while occasional light rain may be ex-
pected tonight in this vicinity, condi-
tons are becoming favorable for fair
weather today.
The cold wave which was west of the
Mississippi river Wednesday is now be-
ing experienced in the eastern states,
where the temperature has fallen de-
cidedly and is considerably below
freezing. The temperature is rising
between the Rocky mountains and the
Mississippi river, though it is still low.

All was not harmony at yesterdays
meeting. 1t was easily seen that two
factions were represented. There were
McAleer men and anti-McAleer men
present, and while those who are OPP
posed to the mayors policy had called
the meeting those who favored the
mayor were slightly in the ascendancy
1t was through the influence Of Nc
Aleer's friends that Joseph H. Call was
elected chairman of the meeting.
The antiMcAleer faction had
planned to have another man in the
chair, but when it appeared that n
compromise measure was inevitable, If
anything was to be done, was glad to
vote for Mr.. Call. He is a Democrat
and this fact gave complexion to the
statement that the meeting was to be
devoid of politics.
The deadlock over the board of
works is largely charged to the bitter
ness existing between the two wings
of the Republican party in Los An
geles although this is strongly denied
by the councilmen.
Some Opposed to Mayor
Thirty men who are large taxpay-
ers are credited with having been the
ones to call the meeting. This list in
cluded Niles Pease, D. A. Hamburger,
George Mason, d. K. Edwards, c. M.

turned Mr.. Spires in disguised tone
of voice.

proved satisfactory to both sides and
appeared entirely fair and impartial in
all his rulings.
Dock Butts In
Although the anti-McAleer faction
did not select the chairman It had ex-
pected It succeeded in getting through
its plan for n committee to formulate
some means of effecting compromise
between the mayor and council and, If
necessary, to call n mass meeting.
Before this a motion made by A. 3.
Cass was finally carried. 1t was
amended several times, but ach
amendment was voted down and the
original motion carried, seemingly sat
isfactory to both parties. This was the
only business transacted at the meet
ing.
Dock Houghton, who as n coun Gil
man was one Oh the persons directly
affected by this movement, had the bad
taste to butt into the meeting and
take front seat and in the heat of
debate attempt to inflct his strident
tones on the assemblage.
No sooner did he attempt to speak
than the entire gathering almost as
one man yelled QUESTION: Hough-
ton cleared his throat and made an
other attempt and again the roar for
the previous question went up. The
chair was compelled to put the ques-
ton and no sooner was this done than
a movement to adjourn was made.
Houghton continued to hold the floor,
but he was given no opportunity to
speak, and probably for the first time
the Sixth ward disturber was shut off
from debate without even a chance to
vociferate, This is gag rule and ]
will not stand for it." This usually is
his howl when the chair attempts to
choke him off.

GIVES WIFE BEATER THE LIMIT
Police Judge Rose Imposes Chain
Gang Sentence on an
Old Man

Police Judge Rose sentenced John
Cakes, ,sixty-five years old to ninety
days on the chain gang yesterday for
beating his aged wife.
While Mrs. Cakes plead for her hus-
bands liberty, the magistrate pro-
nounced the severe sentence.
Police detailed on the case expressed
their wish that the whipping post"
of past years might be again instituted
for men like Cakes. Though bent with
age, his cruelty to his wife was evil
dent from her bruised body.
According to the officers, this is not
the first time that Cakes has been ar
rested and convicted for abusing his
wife. They claim the cruelty of the
old man surpasses belief
Because of the evidence confronting
Cakes and the number of similar Of
lenses he is charged with having COM
n1itted in the past, the judge passed
the sentence stated above.
The wife was willing to forgive and
forget but the law was not.

rests, became alarmed at what he
called the presence of so many poll

not wanted.
This Is a strictly invitation affair

Spires to the assembly when it was
finally called to order half an hour
after the time specified.
Thirty men, who are large taxpay-

liens, have agreed to hold meeting
here and discuss ways and means of

UNCERTAINTY As
TO ENCAMPMENT
NATIONAL GUARD WANTS JOINT
AFFAIR
Legislature Inclined to Keep Expenses
Down and Sufficient Approprla-
ton Is Uncertaln-Much De-
ponds Upon Government

Uncertainty pervades the situation
regarding the holding of a Joint en-
campment of the National guard and
the troops OF the regular army at the
appointed time in June.
Two years ago the Joint encamp-
ment was held at Atascadero, but the
last legislature was very frugal in the
appropriation for the benefit of the
state militia, and therefore nothing
definite can be decided at present.
Brlgadier General Robert Wankow-
ski Of the first brigade Of the South
ern California National Guard said
yesterday that he had received an Of
fetal notification from Adjutant Cen
eral Lauck of the meeting in June.
The general was very busy in the bank
and pleasantly referred the Herald re-
porter to Lieutenant Colonel w. g..
Schneider Of his brigade for further in
formation.
Lieutenant Colonel Schneider ex-
pressed the same uncertainties as did
his superior regarding the joint en-
campment of the National Guard and
the regular army in June.
Economy to Meet at Atascadero
Much depends upon the action of
the government" said Colonel
Schneider, ''in granting the appropri-
alton asked for by the regular army to
move the troops in June. l think it Ia
generally conceded that 1t would be
economy to meet at Atascadero, for
the necessary equipment is already
there, and 1t cost a large amount of
money. But if the government appro-
pration Is not granted, the northern
and southern divisions of California
will be obliged to meet separately,
which Is not so desirable as meeting
together in maneuvering and becom-
ing acquainted. One great thing to
consider is to find a suitable place of
meeting, where there Is sufficient pure
water for bathing and domestic pur-
poses. The boys of this division, If
they could not meet in joint encamp-
ment would prefer going to some fine
mountain nook, where there is plenty
of water. Yes, the pure water Is very
essential. Provisions for the men and
feed for the horses are usually much
easier obtained.
Considerable Depends Upon China
But encampment meetings of any
kind may be knocked out If the Chi
nese uprising terminates in calling out
our regular army. In that case, of
course, the regular army would be sent
to the front in the foreign field and
the National Guard, not being allowed
out of the United States, would be
abliged to hold the fort at home"
Adjutant General Lauck expresses
himself in the following language re-
garding the advantages attending joint
maneuvers:
"A Joint encampment Is a great adj
vantage in that the officers and men
of the organization become acquainted.
Maneuvers can be carried out with a
very much greater efficiency when
