Since the amount, originally con.
sidered necessary by the superin-
tendent of instruction, has been ma

that the funds derived from the sale

tions at. and in building the follow

Adjutant Paul Questioned

The Association of Omaha Insur-
ance companies met the Chamber of
Commerce Friday afternoon and it's
members agreed unanimously that
neither Governor Bryan nor II. J.
Paul adjutant general of Nebraska,
could longer sidestep the explanation
Of why they went outside the state
for group insurance for, the national
guard.
The association, of which DIR. II.
l.. McGrew is president wrote to
Paul last Tuesday inquiring into the
matter. No reply had been received
up to last night.
Earlier in the day w. \. Fraser,
sovereign commander of the Wood
men of the World. made public two
letters which he had just dispatched.
one to Governor Bryan and one to
Adjutant Paul. The letters question
the methods of these two state of
ficials in arranging for this group
insurance.
Il am sending copies of these let
ters TO the press because l believe
it it the right of the citizens of
Nebraska, who are called upon to
maintain the national guard to know
every transaction in connection with
this effort to take from the state
OF Nebraska that which it is justly
entitled to-" explained Mr.. Fraser,
who is acting in the capacity of chair
man of the committee on develop
ment of Nebraska industry of the
Greater Omaha association.
In his communication to Governor
Bryan, Mr.. Fraser, in one paragraph,
says:

cally, but so there will be no oppor-
