A list of question which was aT-ached

is to have the testimony of these two
witnesses in proper legal form to

Omaha courts.
The insurance companies signing
the petition are the Aetna Life of
Hartford, Conn., which had a slo,mm
policy on Kurstin's life, and the Travel
ers Insurance company of Hartford
and Employers Liability of London
Kaoh of the latter companies have
$5,000 on Rustin g life.
In each policy is a clause declaring
▼old the insurance In case the in
sured died of intoxicants or while un
der the influenre of intoxicants. Coun

FAILURE
CHICAGO. Criminal prosecution as
the result of the failure of the Fish same
and sea food corporation of A. Booth
Co., is expected to follow the report of
an auditing concern now engaged in
overhauling the much tangled books of
the company.
This was the announcement made to
dny by several officials who refused tin*
use of their names but who were in po
sition to know.
"We do not know just where we stand
at the present time and will have to
await the report of the men auditing the
books," said one official. "It is probable
that this report will show who are the
persons responsible for the Juggling of
tne books of the concern."
Reorganization of the fish concern was
planned at a conference held in the of
fice of Attorney J. J. Herrick, represent
ing Receiver W. J. Chalmers. How the
management of the concern is to be con
ducted during the receivership of Mr.
Chalmers was discussed.
It was given out later that all of the
stockholders of the company would re
ceive their full 100 per cent, provided
they wore patient.

back to the middle of July, and it
is understood that by some special
clause it can be acted upon again
jso as to go into effect the first of

early.

tinue until the middle of March.
