INSURANCE ELECTION ON
Administration Ticket of New
York Life Has lis. 900 Proxies.


New York, Dec 1s.-Balloting for new officers
of. the New York Life and Mutual Life Insurance
companies began today. In the offices Of the
New York Life nearly 100000 ballots were
turned in before the end Of the first hour
Practically all of these votes were, cast by
proxies. Representatives Of the administration
ticket made up of present officers of the COM
pany, turned in $4,000 proxies at one time
and few moments later the anti-admtnistra-
ton party handed in ten boxes containing 35 900
proxies, These proxies have not yet been ac-
cepted, however, question as to their legality
having arisen from the fact that they were
handed in by private persons
State Superintendent of Insurance Kelsey was
present with several OF his deputies when the
voting began. Superintendent Kelsey has in his
possession 100000 ballots, which he will turn
tin later in the day. These ballots We're sent
to Mr.: Kelsey direct by policyholders.
At the home Offices of the Mutual Life Insur-
The first ballots deposited were lot Of about
10000 representing the foreign proxies held
by the present officials of the company. "A rep.

of Germany raised it's rate of discount

London, Dec. lS:-In the opinion of
the local bankers, unless wholly unex-
pected demand for gold crops up, there
is no reason to fear that the Bank Of
England will consider it. necessary to
raise the: rate of discount as result
of today's advance in the rate of the
Imperial bank of Germany. The step
taken at Berlin is regarded as a pre-.
cautionary move rather than an indi-
cation of the intention of taking gold
from London. j.. .FF....= -@%.i'>. ?
{. The Bank Ct England recently made

freely discounting bills thus practical
iy obtaining control of the money mar
aket. AS the bills mature the situation
will be relieved and a further casing
OF the market will result from the ap-
preaching release Of the Accommodations

ment Golfers. While it is true that the
1 Egyptian and Argentine gold demands
. have to be met, it is understood that
the Bank of France is ready again to
relieve London by the release Of gold,
SHOULD the necessity arise.
The increase of the German bank
rate had some effect on the. stock ex-
change here, where. it was accepted as
proof that money will remain dear we'll

snacial to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Red Wing, Mimi, Dec. lS.-The story
telegraphed from Ellsworth, Wis, that
Iyor Erickson, who died in a hospital
here, was probably murdered and that
two Red Wing men are suspected of
committing the crime, is not credited
by the authorities here. Mrs. Erickson
conferred with the coroner here yester-
day, but voiced no such suspicion, altho
she determined to have an inquest, pre-.
suning there might have been foul
play.
The authorities at Ellsworth have
done nothing to enlist the assistance of
the Goodhue county authorities and
they certainly would have done so if
they. believed the story Of an Ellis
worth correspondent.
Two Red Wing livery rigs returned
from Ellsworth that evening, but the
men are all reputable citizens. Erick-
son was known to be drinking man
and the first story that he fell from his
load and was fatally injured, is be-
5lieved by persons here who knew about
the circumstances. 5342 Z

New York, Dec .1s.-General Balling.

Of America, who was reported to be on
his way to England in company with
his wife, Maud Darlington Booth, to

The only explanat ion, he said, Law in

Booth, is now in England and has Wis

He had loaded rig and was not dis

contractor is at work as well as sewer
gangs, water gangs and gangs Of men
laying gas mains. With the large force
at work the street probably will be finished
before cold weather sets In. The cars on
this new line from Leavenworth to Vinton
street will run around the loop in Oma ha
and back to South Omaha.
An effort is being made by the street
railway company to have the Bellevue
line opened in a week or ten days An
extra large force OF men is pushing the
work as fast as material can be, moved.
The students at Bellevue are especially
anxious this line be finished before some
of the larger foot ball games are played
that Omaha rooters may be able TO get
to the games on the street cars.

An illustrate that there II plenty OF

Two years ago an attempt was made to
use these saw mills on some OF the build

stop to the use Of them. 1t is different
now, as there Is a scarcity of labor. and

BETTER STREET CAR SERVICE
Demand Tor Adequate Transports =
tiou Facilities voiced ny
Realty Men.

Needed extension Of present car lines and
the building Of cross lines was the prin-
cipal subject considered by the Real Estate
exchange Wednesday. and more attention
was given II than has been accorded any
subject before the exchange for months.
Sentiment was general that the street
railway company should extend its unes
and build others. and. not doing so. should
be compelled by legislation or by any
other means possible. The inadequate
transportation facilities in the large and
growing city make il imperative to bring
pressure TO bear ON the company TO force
II to make improvements, said ten or twelve
real estate men, who talked on the sub
ject. What could be done in the way "
legislation was rather vague in the minds
OF the members, but most Of them agreed
something In the way of laws to force i'm
provement was possible.
The result Of the discussion was the APP
pointment Of a committee 60 consider and
devise means for a public agitation and
concentrated action in the matter, espe-
clally with view TO legislation.
The cross lines suggested as necessary
are one on Twenty-fourth street to con-
meet the Cunning street with the Leaven-
worth street line and one on Thirty-eighth
street to connect these two lines.
Another subject taken up was that OF
abstracts, George G. wallace suggesting
IT is not necessary to go back of the plat
in the case OF additions to the city. In this
connection W. II. Thomas related his ex-
perience OF six years as recorder In an
Iowa county, whete the recorder examines
the abstracts and certifes them when the
plat IL made. so that II is unnecessary to
take an abstract back Of the plat. This
plan was satisfactory and Mr.. Thomas
thought II could be used with success here.
n. p. Dodge, jr.. said it would be better
to take step further and adopt the Tor
rens system, adopted some years ago in
Illinois, and by which the purchaser needs
an abstract only on a single transaction
20 insure him clear title to his purchase.

OFFICERS TAKE THE BAIT
Two Detectives Temporarily Diverted
from Course by Deception
of Victim.

After a thrilling. but laughable expert
ence, James Butcher, colored, who re-
sides at 311 North Twelfth street. has
been safely landed within the iron grasp
of the law.
Early Tuesday morning 'colored citi'
zen rushed into the police station and told
the officers he had just seen a negro max
Ing away with a large bundle of goods
which had evidently been stolen. Detec-
tive Ferris and Officer Shields quickly
caught UP with Butcher, but he said the
clothes had been stolen by thieves who
were sleeping in a house across tine street
and he had just recovered them
The officers swallowed the story and
proceeded to catch the thieves in the
house, Butcher being given the post OF
honor Of watching the back door to see
that none escaped that way.
officer Shields had charge of the front
door and Detective Ferris went through
the house, but could hnd no one and
emerged to md their valuable assistant
had improved his time and opportunity by
escaping. Butcher was captured later in
the morning by oficer Woodbridge
The police do not accord greater dignity
to this case than one of ordinary theft.
