DEPENDENCY need
NOT Be proved IN THE
WAR RISK INSURANCE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

Statement by Secretary Glass:
Considerable confusion and much mis-
understanding seems to prevail among
the relatives and benefiCiaries of men in
the military and naval service as to their
rights under the War Risk Insurance Act,
Many mothers and fathers named as hene-
liciaries of the government insurance APP
piled for by their sons have gained the
impression that they must prove de-
tendency in order TO receive payments Of
insurance. This is an entirely erroneous
impression probably due to a confusion
visions of the Act of Congress of Octo-
her 6, 1917, and to a mistaken assump-
ton That he terms insurance and
Compensation" are used Interchangeable
whereas they represent two entirely sep
arate and distinct benefits
Insurance is payable regardless of any
dependency and beneficiary designated
in an application for government insur-
ance II within the permitted class Of
spouse, child grandchild, parent, brother
or sister is entitled to receive the in
suance in monthly installments without
proving any dependency upon the insured.
Compensation. however, which is sep
arate and apart from insurance and takes
the place of the pensions provided under
the old pension system is payable only to
a wife, child, dependent mother or de-
pendent father of a man who is disabled
or dies as a result of injury suffered or
disease contracted in the line of duty
while employed in the active service.
Compensation may be payable in addi-
lion to insurance, but a mother or father
must prove actual dependency in order
TO receive monthly payments Of compen-
sation although they viii receive the in
suTancc in monthly installments if
named as the beneficiary thereof whether
they are depeudnot or not
No dependency need be shown by any
beneficiary in order TO receive the gov
eminent Insurance, but a mother or
father must prove actual dependency upon
their deceased son for the necessaries Of
life in order to receice the additional pay
ment of compensation.

In answer to the great number
of requests received every day
for permission to see the hotel,
Mr.. Ray finds its necessary to
announce that owing to the mum
Der of workmen still, employed
throughout the house, and the
great volume of work that re-
mains to be accomplished before
the opening, that however much
he would like to, it would be
impossible to grant all the re-
quests that come to him, and in
order that no discrimination
may be Shown he would appre-
ciate if everyone would postpone
visiting the hotel until October
10th, the day which has been.

Uphold Decision Finding
Minister in Korea Guilty

Seoul, Friday, Dec. 5.-lhe SD
preme court has confirmed the de-
cision Of the court of appeals. con-
victing the Rev. Eli Miller Mowry
Presbyterian missionary Of Mans
field, o., of sheltering Korean agita-
tors during the Korean revolt. Mr.
Mowry was sentenced to pay fine
of 100 yen or 60 to prison for &c
days. The court gave him 80 days in
which to decide whether he would
pay the fine or serve the Jail term.
The Rev. Mr.. Mowyy was found
guilty last April Of sheltering
Korean agitators and was sentenced
to six months imprisonments at hard
labor. He appealed to the court OF
appeals, which sentenced him to four
months imprisonments, but sus-
pended the sentence for two years.
Later the original Judgment was
quashed and the missionary was re-
manded for new trial before the
court of appeals which resulted in
his conviction on November !.

New Constitution
May Give a Raise
"- To the Governor

Lincoln, Dec. 7.-(Special. )-One
of the problems which the present
constitutional convention will have
to consider is the PRONUNCIATION of a
section Of the constitution relative
to the salaries of the governor and
state officers. That a section will
be adopted calling for a raise from
the $500 year now paid is prob
able. Other western states vary in
the amount paid the executives of
those states.
Arizona with a population much
smaller than Nebraska pays its gov
ernor $4,000 a year: Colorado pays
$1,000; Idaho pays $4,000; Iowa pays
$4,000; Kansas, $4,000, Missouri,
$4,000; Montana, $500; Nevada,
81 900; New Mexico, $4,000; Okla
homa, $4,000; North Dakota. $1,000;
Oregon, $4,000; South Dakota,
$4,000; Utah, $6,5000; Washington,
$4,000, and Wyoming, $4,000.
With the change in prices which
have gone up since those states set
the salary their governors s. lould
receive, a great many of the mem
bers of the convention are of the
opinion that Nebraska ought to at
least pay its governor as much as a
congressman receives, $500.

CAN'T IMAGINE
WHY 'EURL0yCH'
WAS HELD BACK
Kinks Attorneys Unable to
Understand Why Release
Paper Was Held From
September s.

Lincoln. Dec. 7.-(Special.)-Sen-
ator Buskee left for his home in
kimball this morning, but gave out
no statement regarding the Kirk
matter additional to that conveyed
N the signed statement already pub
lished.
Some attorneys in Lincoln after
reading the statement were of the
opinion that perhaps the bar asso-
citation at its next meeting should
take up the matter of the furlough
and ascertain if there was anything
out of the way in the methods used
to secure the release of Kirk.
Attorney Ben Baker, who defend
ed Kirk at his trial, says: 81 think
the furlcugh' is regular, and | be-
heve that if Senator Business state
ments are correct as stated in the
papers he acted upon information he
had received concerning Kirk"
Asked why he thought the "fur-
lough' was withheld until last Tues
day, Mr.. Baker said that he did not
have any opinion to offer concern
ing the Withholding of the furlough.
Attorney H. B. Fleharty, who
also defended Kirk in district court,
said he believed Kirk not guilty
either Of the robbery or the murder
Of Detective Rooney, but that Kirk
was just an unlucky victim of cir
cumstances in having the gang
living at his house.
"Wally Martin, who was fugi-
tive from justice. came to Kirk and
asked to conceal him, which Kirk
did. Later the rest of the gang
came to Kinks house and on the
afternoon of January so they robbed
the Malashock jewelry store and
came back to Kinks house.
II believe Bushee merely exer-
cised the right Of governor of the
state and that the 'furlough' is
modified pardon. II can't imagine
what was back of retaining the fur

Soldiers Challenge
Statement by Robins
OF Mutiny in Russia

Madison, Wis, Dec. "A gath

who japmed into the Engineering
Auditorium to hear Col. Raymond
Robins tell about soviet Russia,

challenged a statement by Robins
that as an indirect result of the
allies policy in failing to recognize
the bolshevik government, Ameri-
can soldiers in Russia had nutinied.
"We demand to know the author
ity for that statement" exclaimed
Capt. John Commons, son of Prof.
John R. Commons. 1--WE served at
Archangel and there was no mutiny."

American soldiers. including all Of

reiterated that he had proof not
only of mutiny in the American
army, but mutiny of British soldiers
at Dover, French soldiers at Brest
and Italian soldiers at Genoa at the

Church Services in
Private Homes; See
End Of Coal Piles

Public church services were held
in many private homes last night in
Omaha.
Thus these churches succeeded in
obeying the order of the coal COM
mittee and at the same time held
their regular evening services.
1t was said that this is the first
time in the history Of the city that
private homes have been thrown
open for public church services.
All churches held their usual
morning services. consisting of Sun
day school and preaching or, in
Catholic churches, mass.
The end of the coal pile was seen
in many churches and plans for
holding at least Sunday morning
services after the supply of coal is
gone were discussed. Conferences
will be held this week by pastors
and leading laymen OF several con
gregations to arrange for the hold
ing of community services in vari-
Gus neigliborhoods. From three to
six congregations may worship III
one edifce with great saving OF
coal and with little inconvenience to
the members. The same plan may
be followed out for the holding Of
community Sunday school during
the coal ban.
"One thing is sure" said a minis
ter, "as long as there is enough
coal to heat our homes, the pubic
worship will not be abandoned"

CONTRADICTIONS
MARK MAKEUP
OF BOLD BANDIT
Picturesque Bill Carlisle Led
Quiet Life in Penitentiary,
Where He Knitted Sweaters.

Rawlins. Wyo., Dec. 1.-THE Union
Pacific train robber, William L. Car
isle, who held up the passengers on
the Los Angeles Limited on No
,ember 18 and is now lying in a
Wyoming hospital with a bullet
through his lung, betrays rare con-
tradiction in character.
Armed with revolver and facing
carful of passengers, or twisting
and turning to elude the sheriff :
posse, he became a daring criminal.
In prison he knitted sweaters for
soldiers and bought Liberty bonds
with the money lie earned from
manufacturing small articles \ for
sale.
His boldness has startled and
alarmed not only the passengers he
robbed, but the authorities who have
cndeavored to apprehend him. Even
while troops were hunting for him
he entered telegraph Office to send
a message to the Union Pacific Of
ficials thanking them for the con
tributions" he had collected from
the passengers on the last train he
robbed
Not Robbing Women.
One of his peculiarities is to an
nounce when engaged i'll holdup
that 81 am not robbing women, chill
dren, old men. soldiers, or sailors, :"
but he went through the pockets of
all other passengers without COM
junction.
Carlisle was sentenced to prison
here on May II, 1916, after spec
tacular career in the previous win
ter. in which he robbed several
Union Pacific trains. He was taken
prisoner in April, 1916, the day after
he held up Union Pacific train near
Hanna. Two days later he was con-
victed.
He told his captors, 81 am not a
killer" 1t is said that from his hid
ing place in the brush he might have
slain many of the posse to. which he
surrendered
So model was his conduct in prls-
on that his sentence was committed
from lie imprisonment 10 20 10 ~
years. He is less than 80 years old.
and his happy, smiling, boyish face
is in sharp contradiction with his
record as a bandit. He worked n
prison as a bookkeeper, and often
boosted that he could escape when
ever he wished. He disappeared
from that institution in a box of
shirts which was being shipped by
train from railroad station nearby.
While posses were searching for
him, he apparently boarded a Los
Angeles limited at Rock River and
when the train had again moved on,
entered the tourist sleeper through
a window and robbed the passengers
in his usual spectacular fashion.
This completed, he pulled the cord
and as the train slowed down, 1eaped
from the platform, rolled down an
embankment and escaped, although
the train guard and passengers shot
at him several times.

Gold Braid Taken
OFF Officers Coats
Cuts the Cost $l8

Washington, Dec. 7-(Special.)--
Whoopeel There is at least one
thing in the world that is cheaper
than it used to be.
Officers of the United States ma
rine corps made this discovery to-
day, and all along the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts in the Islands" IN
China and aboard the ships at sea,
they sent up a shout Of joy.
This is how it happened.
The design and cut Of the official
marine officers overcoat has been
changed-and the changes make 1t
cheaper!
The new overcoat will be much
shorter than the old "heel-tickler"
now worn. 1t will have an open
neck with roll 1apels, and the elab-
crate and expensive sleeve braid
will be eliminated.
This braid alone added about So
to the cost of a second lieutenant's
coat, and general had to lay out
at least eighteen good "iron men
for his embroidery. The cost Of
the new coat will average easily ST.
less,
