Nebraska LIGAT IS THROWN ON BONDING DEAL Soon After Judge England’s Change of Front He Writes Bonds for Six State Officers. HELPS KILL INSURANCE BILL (From a Statf Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 16.— (8pecial.)— The Inside story of the bond deal in which Judge W. H. England of Lin- coln was able to pull down the bulk of the bonds of the state officers, may never be told, but enough infor- mation {s available to give the im- pression that politics played a large part, although the judge stoutly de- nies his desertion of the republican candidate, Mr. Howell, after he had petitioned him to get into the fight Was because of any consideration of promised fat premiums for writing the bonds of the democratic officials. The story runs something like this, and it may be continued in coming chapters. Some after R..B. Howell of Omaha had announced that he would not be a can- didate for the republican nomination for sovernor in 1814, Judge England and a number of other former bull moosers, now calling themselves progressive re- publicans, got out a petition and filed it with the secretary of state, after coax- ing the Omaha water board boss to re- consider his decision not to become a candidate, and he was thus made a candidate. This has little to do with the story except.to show that the judge was a “progressive.’’ England Changes Front. The second ohapter opens with the judge playing the part of a booster for the democratic opponent of Mr. Howell, Gov- ernor John H. Morehead, notwithstand- ing Howell had been successful in land- ing the republican nomination. At the time it was considered worthy of com- ment that Judge England should go back on his “progressive’ candidate for gov- ernor and get behind a democratic can- didate, outside his own party, at that, branded far and wide as a reactionary. However, Judge England now explains the matter by saying that in a trip east he discovered Howell was not sincere in his professions toward the water power projects, etc., and so he concluded to tufn his efforts to the election of More- head. Writes Bonds of Six Officers. Chapter three opens soon after the be- ginning of the year 1915, when it was dis- covered that Governor Morehead and other state officers had turned the writ- ing of their bonds over to Judge England. In his first term Governor Morehead had filed a personal bond without cost to the state, but for his second term Judge England was given the privilege of writ- ing a company bond for him. Other officers about the state house who gave their bonds to Judge England, as shown by the records, were State Treasurer Hall. . Blate Auditor W. H.

DeFrance 10,00 This, counting the Bond of the governor, gives a total of $1,28,000, which the judge was able to write, besides the 1,000,000 50,000 50,000 bonds of several examiners in the pure | food department, which, if, as he says, he was given the writing of the bond of the governor simply because the execu tive appreciated his support, indicates that other democrats must have been very appreciative of the judge's repub- lican support likewise. Helps Kil} Insurance Bill, But there is still another chapter, for it will be remembered that during the last days of the legislature there was a mighty fight over the passage of senate file 46, the anti-discrimination fire in- surance bill. The bill had passed the sen- ate and was before the house. Prospects looked good for its passage. On the day before the bill was to come up in committee of the whole in the house, Judge England appeared on the scene. The judge was away on business in some other state, but he appeareq at the supreme moment and unlimbered his typewriter battery, flooded the desks of the members with letters attacking the bill and posing as the friend of hohest insurance methods. The bill passed in committee of the whole by a close vote and then a fight began to kill it Wwhen it came up for final passage. It was noted that most of the fellows who now have their bonds written by Judge Eng- land were either'present in person or had representatives on hand using every ar- gument to make members change t votes. Enemies of the bill pleaded with members to change their votes and kill the bill. Appointees of the governor were on the scene working hard to kill this bill and their efforts were successful wi this also part of the deal, is now being asked.

The members of Kappa Kappa Gamma | achieved a remarkable record during the second semester—in fact, all of the co-ed organizations were superior to the fra- ternities. The Jowest scholarship stand- | ing of any sorority during. the second | semester was higher than the highest| standing of any fraternity. Kappa Kappe Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta raced neck and neck during the last half of the year for first honors and beat all scholar- ship records at the university. Kappa Kappa Gamma had a percentage of ex- cellence of 21.7, with only 1.6 per ocent failure, while Kappa Alpha Theta had 257.6, with only 1.2 per cent fallure. Dean Engberg gives the following ex- planation of the means of arriving at the scholastic standings: “To obtain the index number weight, the percentages of grades are as follows: E, 4; G, 8; M, 2, and C, —2; and F and D, —3.
