Insurance Firms
Ordered to Stop
Selling Stock
Alleged Shady Transactions
Of Exchanging Mortgaged
Property for Stock Probed
By State Officials.

Lincoln, Dec. 7.-(Special )--The
Lancaster county district court has
issued a restraining orde, forbidding
the Bankers Fire Insurance COM
pany and the Bankers Automobile
Insurance company from continuing
to sell stock on application of the
Insurance department of the state.
1t appears, according to Insurance
Commissioner w. B. Young, that
the Bankers Fire Insurance COM
pany filed articles of incorporation
with the secretary of state on April
Il, 1919, and began the selling OF
stock to the amount of S5OO,00O par
value. In the latter part of the
same year the Insurance department
made an investigation and the Ii
cense to sell stock was given. The
stock was sold through the Bankers
Brokerage company the brokerage
company paying SIS share and in
turn selling it to the public at SIS
| share.
Transactions Revealed.
The license to sell stock was
granted on the provision that a por.-
! ton of the stock should be Cancelled.
Among the transactions was note
given for 100000 in payment of
stock which was secured BIZ stoct-
holders notes.
Another transaction by the COM
/ pany was the sale by A. II. Arm
strong, stockholder in the insurance
| firm, to the Bankers Brokerage COM
pany OF building at the southwest
corner of Sixteenth and o streets IN
Lincoln for 100000, Mr.. Armstrong
receiving in payment that amount
of stock in the Bankers Fire 1nsur-
ance company. which afterwards
was sold to the brokerage company
| for the same amount.
Commissioner Young sent ap-
praisers to appraise the property
who turned in a valuation OF So4 ,Ooo
on the building, which already had
mortgage of $4,000 upon it not
included in the amount paid for the
building, it is alleged.
New Investigation Ordered.
Still another transaction which
| the records of the lnvestigatlon ois-
close was that Charles Maxion,
stockholder, bought land in Colo.
RADIO for $40 an acre and mortgageed
i. to the insurance company at the
rate of SIS an acre. The statutes:
strictly prohibit this sort OF deal
by stockholders of company:
Examiners of the company threw
out approximately $300,000 in valu-
alton, leaving a surplus June 80 last
! of about 100000. Since that date
the examination shows further deal
ings in Colorado land and the eX-
aminers have been ordered to make
new investigation.
The Bankers Automobile 1nsur-
ance company, which is included in
the court proceedings, is practically
owned by the same men. Some
peculiar transactions have been
made, according to Mr.. Young, and
the department has decided that a
further examination should be made
and the present officers and direc-
tors removed. He also thinks that
reorganization of the companies
m ght save them.

Work Of Typhus

Armenia and Russia May

Technical Organizations
Proposed by Covenant.

Geneva, Dec. 7.--(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Plans for co-opera-
ton on technical organizations of the
league of nations by representatives
of Armenia and former Russian
states, though these states are nor
admitted to full membership in the
league, were discussed by the assem-
bly, of the league here today. This
was the principal item on the agenda,
having been brought into prominence
by the decision yesterday of the
committee on the admission of new
states.
The assembly also continued the
work of laying working basis for
the league which would enable it to
function as efficiently as possible,
pending the time necessary to get a
clear Interpretation of various mat
ters and note the practical effects
of the intricate system by which the
assembly and council dovetail into
each other.
Discuss Typhus Drive.
Work in the typhus campaign now
going on in Poland and plans look
ing to the welfare of children in Eu-
rope were also discussed today.
One of the early acts Of the as
sembly this morning was to approve
the decision of the committee on re-
lations between the assembly and
the council for the elimination of
the entire paragraph of its report,
which provided that the assembly
had no power to take up questions
within the exclusive jurisdiction of
the council.
Delegate Rowel! OF Canada, who
made the report, pointed out that the
elimination did not change the pres
ent situation. The report, being
merely interpretative, could not
change the relations between the
council and the assembly, he re-
marked, but was merely explanatory
of the provisions of the covenant.
Sir George f. Foster of the
Canadian delegation, stirred the as
sembly by an eloquent appeal for &C
ton against the typhus in Poland
