INSURANCE BILL
 PROVIDES FOR UNITED KINGDOM
Lloyd Georges Epoch-Maki king
 Industrial Plan Will Pass
 House of Commons Tonight Measure, Which Will Help Men and Women Alike, Has Sick ness and Disability Features
Especial from United Press.)

London, Dec. 6.-David Lloyd Geofge's epoch-making industrial in- surance bill is scheduled to pass the House of Commons, tonight, by e comfortable majority. Efforts of the Tories to postpone final action have failed and the opposition is loud in it's cry that steam roller tactics have been adopted by the liberals to force the measure through.
 The bill, after passing the Com mons, will be subject to amendment or rejection by the House of Lords but it is unlikely that any of the principal provisions will be changed. The. bill provides insurance against sickness and disability for the 15 million workmen of the United King dom and a limited insurance, against unenhpl ployment .. for. the 2,500.0o0 craftsmen of sthe building and en- is experimental and, If successful, will be extended to other trades.-a y.,4.s.
 For health insurance. every male laborer whose wages exceed 60 cents day is subjected to compulsory contribution of 8 cents week which is. deducted from his pay. every em- ployer pays 6 cents week for each person in his employ and the gov- ernment 4 cents a week. Women contribute 2 cents week less than men.
 Men will receive s2.50 a week dur ing sickness for not more than 13 weeks and $1.25 week thereafter so long as the disability exists.
 Women receive $1.67 a week for 1 3 week of sickness and after that the same as men.
 The bill also provides for free med lcaI treatment by a physician of the employees own choosing. ConSump- tiyes are to, be treated at a govern ment sanitarium constructed at an expense of $7,5O0,000 with running expenses of $5,0OO,000 a year.
 The wives of insured workmen are to receive $15 at childbirth and an additional benefit of $15 if she her self is insured.
 The insurance features of trades unions will be continued under goy- ernment supervision.
 Under the unemployment provis- ion, employees in the building and en- gineering trades pay an additional five cents a week and employers a similar amount for every worker, the government contributing one third of the total received from both. The insured craftsmen will receive $1.75 a week while they are out of work. provided that time does not exceed Is weeks in the year.

Cincinnati. Ohio, Dec. 6-Charges that the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, of New Haven, Conn, is a monopoly in restarint of trade. and that 1t has been guilty of fblacklist- inE," are contained in demurrers fil- ed in the United States circuit court yesterday by Eugene c. and Charles l.. Evans, doing a hardware business in Cincinnati as Evans Bros. to three actions against them in which they were charged with infringing the compliments patent rights by selling guns and revolvers manufactured by complainant at cut rates and in other ways.
 Among other things, the demurrers reeite that each of the bills sIs bad for prolixity,'' in that it undertakes 'sTo state cause of action with two pages when it should be stated in ten" They charge that the complain ant seeks through alleged contracts to create, foster and maintain mon- opoly, and it seeks by involving the action of the court not only to create the monopoly, but to employ the de- cree of the court in maintaining one inv iolation of the laws of the United States.
 They further state that the com plainant Has been guilty of black listing defendants for the purpose of further assisting a monopoly and re- strain trade and prevent competition, and, therefore, is not entitled to be heard and has no standing in court of equity.''

Masked Desperado
 Shoots Al John Sing
Chinese Laundryman Victim ol Mysterious issa!Iant
 at Midnight
Special to The Farmer.)

Stratford, Dec. 6-A masked desper- ado attempted to shoot John Sing, the Chinese laundryman. shortly before midnight, and the old town is stirred up as result John says that his attention was attracted to the front of his store by pieces of ice dropped through the wire screen and by a continued tapping on the window John opened the front door of his store and stuck out his head. A flash and the report of pistol was his greet ing.
 John immediately closed the door and locked it, but not until he had a good look at his assailant He sat up under arms all night but had no further trouble. This morning the path made by. the bullet in the cash of the front window was plainly to be seen. The assassin had evidently stood in the alley at the north of the laundry and had rested his pistol against the side of the building. The marks of the bullet which cut away part of the. sash were level with the Chinamans' head when he looked out of the door.
 The matter was reported to. Consta- ble Fred Palmer this morning, but no clues to the mysterious affair have ap- peared. Sing describes his assailant as small and light. A handkerchief
 
 face. Sing believes he was a boy. Charles Miller, the local barber, met a man who answers the same descrip- tion, at Hard's corner soon after Il o'clock. Miller says the fellow att tracted his attention by walking in the middle of the road, and also by the white screen which covered his face. Sing says that he was not "aflaid" because he knew that no one in town wanted to kill him. He has never had any trouble.
 The affair is mysterious because no attempt at robbery was made. The bullet, of .32 calibre, plowed a furrow in the cash and was deflected. The aim of the desperado was not so bad as it mil ght have been, for half an inch more would have sent the bullet into the Chinaman's head. There are those here who believe that Sing is the victim of some of his countrymen and that the attempt to kill him is only an echo of a Tong" war. The China man denies this strenuously, and says that he is at peace with all the Ori- ental societies who would be like'y to turn off trick of this kind. In spite of his bravado it is evident that Sing was badly scared

Film Concern Wins
Injunction Contest

DANCER OF fire In connection with the
handing OF a moving picture film busi-
ness is not great enough TO warrant pro
hibition Of the occupancy OF a building
by film company. So held Judge A. {.
Troup when he denied the application OF
the Western Union Telegraph company
for an Injunction restraining A. T. Brom-
Icy. owner Of the old Omaha National
Bank building. Thirteenth and Douglas
streets, from leasing the first floor of the
building to the General Film company.
Judge Troup held that IL the film COM
pany's rules and regulations regarding
the handling OF its business arc complied
with by the employees, there is no greater
danger from fire than exists In buildings
Of many commercial institutions. Films
are inflamGble, said the court but many
other commodities are inflamable Mod
ern conditions make them necessary. and
wherever they are handled and used there
Is more or less danger OF fire: but even
so, 1T cannot be argued that persons hand
ling such commodities should be prohib-
tied from occupying buildings for the
transaction Of their business.

D0NAHUE BELIVES THAT
M'MANIGAL WAS ALONE

That Ortie McManigal, who has con-
fessed to an attempt to blow up with dy-
Mantle the electric plant belonging to the
Omaha a. Council Bluffs street Railway
company. worked I'm Omaha alone. made
no Omaha acquaintance and held aloof
even from strangers while I'm the city in
July, 1910, is the opinion OF Chief OF Police
Donahue.
In his confession" said the chief, NC
Manigal said he had seen the force Of
workmen employed on the court house
I saw them from a theater,' he said
which must have been the Boyd. but he
denied having met with any Omaha man
and worked with him to destroy the new
court house.
1--WE have no evidence that he ever met
and became acquainted with an Omaha
man or ever met stranger to talk with
him, much less plan with him, while he
was here. His movements while in the
city were pretty thoroughly followed and
II is my opinion that he didn't work in
collusion with any Omaha men.
"McAIanigal said that he never entered
the court house and denied absolutely
that he had met and worked with any
body else while here"
Personally, however. the chief is of the
opinion that McManigal had a hand in
the blowing up of the alf-finlshed court
house either being personally concerned
in It or with a gang which perpetrat ted
the outrage.

Many Alaska Cases
Settled by Decision

Sylvester r. Rush, special assistant to
the attorney general of the United States,
in speaking of the Alaska coal and land
frauds which were being investigated by
federal authorities said
According to the dispatches from Wash
ington the United States supreme court
Las reversed United States District
Judge Hanford on his ruling last March
quashing the indictment in the case of
Charles F. Mundy and Archie w. Shields,
involving a conspiracy to defraud the
United Sta'es of 5000 acres OF Alaska
coal lands, valued at S10,OOOOO0. This case
was brought on for trial in Judge Han
ford's court at Seattle and after the
jury was empaneled the defendants coun-
sci filed motion against the Indictment,
upon the ground that the entries such n
charged were legal and proper entries.
The Alaska Development company was
the corporation to whom the land was to
be decided and, incidentally, the Pacific
Coal and Iron company was mentioned
in connection With the operations of the
Alaska Development company, referred
TO as an allen corporation.
Judge HantoTd held that II was no Vio-
lation of the law -or citizens or resi-
dent corporations to acquire more than
800 acres of coal land, the limit fixed by
statute, through colusive entries, with
an agreement to transfer the title, but
sustained the indictment on the techni-
cality that the Pacific Coal and Iron
company was an alien corporation, seek
ing TO acquire TINS land contrary to law.
Since the Alaska Development company
was practically the only corporatiO that
had received conveyances OF these lands
it would have been very embarrassing
for the government to proceed under that
construction of the indictment and the
law. We, therefore, secured consent TO
the withdrawal of a juror, and a motion
TO quash tho Indictment. We, however,
abandoned for all time the allegation OF
the alien character of the Pacific Coal
and IroB company. The Indictment was
thereupon quashed and under the law of
the United States, and by this means
we succeeded in taking the case up on
error TO the supreme court Of the United
states. The ruling Of the supreme court
in this particular settles not only the
law Of this, but four other cases, at
Seattle, spokane. Chicago and Detroit.

10 the charges Of Is. J. Dunn that the
rates Of the company i'm Omaha were
unfair; that merger was planned and
competition threatened said that while
several telephone companies in Nebra ska
had been purchased. the courts had re-
strained the Nebraska company from ex-
ercising control and that since the people
appeared opposed TO a single company
giving the service in any town" two
companies would continue to exist
We have purchased control of some
telephone companies in Nebraska" said
Mr. Yost, but have been restrained BY
the courts from participating in the con-
troll OF them. We believe the people in
some towns are Of the opinion that two
telephone companies are an economic
waste and a positive nuisance. Even II
we were allowed by law to make MERGERS
we would only do so in towns where n
majority of the patrons requested that it
be done. We would do it the same as We
have in Des Moines. A card vote was
taken on consolidation after we had pur-
chased the stock of the so-called Inde-
pendent company and the exchanges were
consolidated. The people are more than
satisfied with the result.
DO you increase rates when a merger
Is effected or plan to operate at the
same rates." was asked.
We do not increase rates. We give the
same rates for the consolidated service
as for the single exchange service. II

were in favor OF it we would like TO
make certain mergers"

you charge 30 cents on 81 residence phones
after the tenth Of the month";"
Yes. The justice of that policy has
been questioned, but the courts have held
that 1t is a reasonable rule"
DO you think the contract your
patrons sign exempting your company
from blame in case of poor service at a
critical time a fair one?''
Yes. No telephone system Is perfect
and we do the best we can to make our
service as good as any, and it is. We have
experts watching the half million sold
cred connections back of the boards all
the time and carefully investigate all
complaints. Something might be wrong
the connection out OF order, the bell
refuse to ring at the other end or some
thing wrong with the wire. While we
trace this defect and remedy it VIC
should not be held responsible for the
damage that might result from IT to a
patron who needed connection immedi-
ately."
