Motion for New Trial by Insurance Com- pany is Qverruled District Judge “"Lee, Estelle has overruled the motion of the Fidelity nd Casualty company of New ork for a new trial of the suit brought by T. J. Bruner & Co. to recewer $3,000 insurance as the re- sult of their safe being blown a year ago. The Bruner company received a judgment of $3,365 against the in- surance company.

After the motion for a new trial had been made, the Bruner company, through its attorneys, filed a $100,000 libel suit against the insurance company.

I don't understand why the possessor of a bank account forfeits the mother’s pension privilege, while the one who owns a house can se- celve the favor, It reminds me of a case at the time of the tornado. A weman who had never asked help from the public in any way wanted sesistance in repairs to her home, which would amount to several hun- dred dollars. S§he had a few hundred dellars in the bank, and for that rea- son her claim for ald was rejected. It was true that she had a little raoney In the bank, but to repair the house, which would take $900 would require several hundred dol- lars more than she had In the bank. “I think of another Instance.

Here is a careful review made by one of The Bee's staff men to give the taxpayers and public generally the infor- mation on which to form their own conclusions. It will appear in three installments, of which this is the last. much red tape connected with all such Omaha's | Bsslstance. Rev. Bernard Sinne, pastor of 8t. Mary ene church, at Nineteenth and | Dodge streets, mado the following state ment “I cordially approve the mothers' pen- | slon system. It is in line with old age [ and other beneficiary pensions, so com- | mon in Burope. It takes a burden from ‘ltl)lfr organizations and puts It where {1t belongs.’ J. B. Carter, attendance officer in the | school board, sald: “T have had personal | experfence in several pension cases, and ]cnn not speak too highly of the law and the way it is operating, Because of [this ald, at least twenty-five children ‘uhn otherwise would have had to go to | work, have been able to continue their | studies at school.” | Rabbl Frederick Cohn sald: "I have heard some objections to the ruling about what women are allowed to do In the | way of work. It seems that some con- | sider the provision against a woman do- | ing anything but odd jobs is too dras- e Among the charitable organizations looking after the needs of the poor, to | supplement the aid from the mothers' pension fund, 1s the Jewish Charitable soclety. Mr. Leidy says this society looks well after its poor, rather empha- | sizing Its work, as compared with the ald rendered by other organizations. The secretary of this soclety, Jacques Rieur, \made the following observations about |the mgthers' pension scheme: ““We are atill obliged to do a great deal for the poor, in spite of such aid as the | mothers' pension fund atfords. Although the total burden is of course somewhat leasened by this law. Among our people |only about $60 s being received from | this source. There is one family of six children recelving $30 per month; another of three, 316, and so on.

Our New Type | | Readers of The Bee who have ob- served the change in appearance need | hardly be reminded that it is due to the use of new type with larger and Qur purpose, of course, is to make the paper more easily readable, fol- lowing the tendency of all the great metropolitan dailies. The Bee is just completing a new installation of Mergenthaler type- setting machinery, which gives us a completely up-to-date plant and keeps this paper in the very forefront of modern mechanical equipment, From expressions already heard we are sure our readers will thoroughly appreciate these improvements. ADVISED 10 BE 600D Subjects of Kaiser Here Instructed to Obey Laws of the States in Which They Reside. ORDER SENT TO ALL CONSULS Washington, May 18,~~Germany, through Bernstorff, instructed all German consuls in the United States to admonish German citizens in their districts to scrupu lously observe American laws. This was done in an effort to end various alleged violations of American nen trality. I'he ambassador acted on instruc tions from the Berlin foreign office. I'he action was announced today in this official statement from the Ger- man embassy “In consequence of cases which have occurred of late, the German ambassador has sent instructions to all German consuls in the United States to strongly impress upon Ger man citizens living in their districts that it is their duty scrupulously to obey the laws of the state in which they reside.” It was said at the German embassy that the instructions were designed to prevent plots or lawlessness on the part of the German citizens. The Ger man government, it was said, looks with great disfavor upon any such conduct, It was made clear that Berlin offi- ials want the United States and its people to understand that they have not countenanced any illegal affairs with which German citizens or sym pathizers in this country have been connected, Count von Bernstorff’s instructions were received last night and were forwarded to German consuls imme- diately, Reading Stocks Make New High Record New York, May 18 —Reading com- mon and second preferred stocks sold on the stock market toddy at the highest prices in their history.
