Lincoln, Neb., Sept. —The Ne- braska Republican state convention met during the day with a large at- tendance and prospects for interest- ing sessions owing tosthe agitation against railroad passes which has been sweeping the state for several months. So great was the interest taken in this question that it prom- ised to overshadow the primary work of the convention, which was the nomination of one candidate for the supreme court and two regents of the state university. The anti-pass agitators were deter- mined that resolutions against the giving of such favors should be adops- ed by the convention this year that the question might be a positive ‘issue next year when candidates for the legislature are named. Those who op- pose the adoption of such a resolutios this year took the position that it was idle to do so when,none of the nom- inees of this convention could have anything to do with making an anti pass law. There was also strong sentiment for a 2-cent a mile passenger fare and for a distance freight tariff which would make it impossible for the railroads to charge more for a short haul than New And Second-Hand Ma- chinery, Special Bargains.

The paraphernalia scattered and seized members of the fraternity are said to have made one last desperate stand, which promises violence to the chief of police and members of his family if the gambling crusade con- tinues. This tzkes the form of anonymous letters sent to the officer and officer’s house, which threaten dynamiting of his home or violence to himself or family. Chief Collins was at first inclined to denounce these warnings as “non- sense,” but fearing $er the safety of his family he has stationed a guard near his resgidence. : The chief refused to divulge the nature of the letters save that they were threatening. of no importance, although he admit- ted that his home was guarded and that members of his personal staft were investigating the letters.
