O4IPCV VOEtA PEsOOOsOOVs
OF all the princes of India, not one has
gems that can compare With those OF the
gaekwar of Baroda.
Perhaps the most remarkable OF the
gaekwar's jewel treasures is carpet, said
to be about four yards square, composed
of rubies. diamonds and pearls woven
into pattern OF exquisite and dazzling
beauty.
The gems in this carpet are of an esti-
mated value Of 100000, and it is the
product OF three years. work Of skilled
artists and jewel settlers.
Still more costly is one of the gaekwar's
diamond necklaces, which is said to be
worth well over s10,0O0,OOO, and hich,
one can easily imagine, is the most
magnificent in the world.

Whether this means the elimination of

state. They declined to discuss to what

EFFECT OF NEBRASKA RULE
Auditor Barton's Relations with Mis-
souri, Companies PrOvOkes
Comment.

A correspondent Of the Western Under
writer, writing from st. Louis, asserts
that a recent ruling of Auditor Barton OF
Nebraska amounts to "a practical ex-
clusion of Missouri life companies from
doing business in the state" The Mis-
souri, State Life and the International Life
of st. Louis are reported most deeply con-
cerned.
The correspondent writes, in part:
The registration and deposit law Of
Missouri, enacted thirty-isx years ago,
prescribes the form of the certificate to
be used by the department OF insurance
of Missouri on registered policies as fol-
lows
"Thi policy is registered and secured
by a pledge Of bonds or deeds of trust
on real estate deposited with this de-
partment."
Nebraska has no laws on the subject,
but Auditor Barton evidently has con-
cluded that the Missouri law In this re-
gard should be amended. According
to the ruling of the attorney general of
Missouri, neither the department of in
surance, nor any Missouri company has
any option in so far as the form of oerti-
flcate is concerned on registered policies
of Insurance, but that the certificate
prescribed by the law must be used.
Officials of the Missouri companies de-
clare that no American actuatry of rec
ognized standing or scientific insurance
mar has ever gone on record in denying
the mathematical correctness of the Mis-
souri, certificate. They further state that
the word secured in the certificate is
not a m%lsnomer but expresses with ex-
actness the meaning intended 10 be con-
veyed, viz, that the policy is projected
and secured by an ample deposit by the
department of Insurance.
a mar wholly ignorant OF actuarial
science might argue that the policy would
not be secured, unless an amount equal
to it's face WIS deposited upon the part of
the insured TO pay the future premiums
on his policy. IL is a fundamental princl-
pie in legal reserve insurance that the re-
serve on hand at any time to the credit
of a policy plus the present value Of the
future premiums to be paid with interest
thereon is and must be at all times equal
In value to the face of the policy.
Maturing death losses are provided for
from the contribution Of each policy holder
the percentage Of each premium being util-
lied for the purpose OF paying current
death claims, and which, as all men IA
miliar with insurance are aware has
nothing to do with the reserve, Further,
all of the Missouri life companies are
stock companies, and their entire capital
Is deposited with the state in excess OF
the legal reserve ana held by the depart
ment Of Insurance for the protection OF
policy holders. The form OF certificate
formulated by Auditor Barton, II applied
20 Missouri companies, would embody an
absolute misstatement Of the fact, because
II Is only a half truth. II understates the
security afforded by the state deposit law,
and, ever II there was no law In Missouri
regulating the matter, his form OF certifi-
cate would be Objectionable on that &C,
count.
The traditional policy OF the Missouri de
gaTtment has been to resent any unjust
Omaha daily bee., 1909-12-15

discrimination against the insurance insti-
tutions of the state by any other state. A
few years ago the department in Wiscon-
sin imposed some restrictions upon Mis-
souri, fire companies, and the department
promptly notified the Wisconsin authori-
ties that an attempt to enforce an arbi-
trary ruling would Immediately result In
every insurance institution in Wisconsin
being barred from doing business in Mis-
souri,. The Missouri companies have very
little business in Nebraska and are not
actively eultivating that field, SO that from
a practical standpoint the question is not
an important one. The Nebraska life and
fire companies enjoy a large and profitable
business I'm Missouri, which would probably
be Immediately cut off in the event Auditor
Barton excludes Missouri companies from
Nebraska.

Army Officer

Embezzlemen
Captain franklin Sentenced for Long
Series Of Petty Crimes at
West Point.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Captain Thomas
Franklin, United States army, twice COM
mended by General Chaffee and General
for distinguished service in China and
Manila. pleaded guilty today to a long
series of petty entertainments from the
mess fund Of the West Point cadets, as
commissary and treasurer Of the United
States military academy and was sem
fenced by Judge Hand in the United States
circuit court to two years and six months
in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ca.
His counsel gave notice that he would
apply for a writ of error and review.
AS commissary and treasurer, Captain
Franklin had charge of the pay checks Of
the cadets, which he deposited with the
United States subtreasury in this city and
drew against for mess supplies. The total
amount OF his defalcation ran to $3.50, of
which $4,5SS was represented by false
vouchers, presented for approval to the
superintendent of the United States mil
itary academy. AT his first arraignment
in last June he pleaded not guilty and
subsequently demurred. The demurrers
were overruled and trial set for today, The
statute of limitations In the court martial
bars offenses committed only two years
back as against three years in the federal
courts and for this reason Judge Hand
and not Major General Wood heard the
case.
Captain T. s. Ansell urged for the pris-
oner that his client had risen from the
ranks by merit and that his irregularitie'
were chargeable to his efforts to raise q
large family on an officers pay.
