THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. ECOND YEAI RAILROAD SCHEMERS | They Are Weaving a Web of Prejudice About Unsuspecting Legislators, | ——rrm——— TWENTY SIGN OF THE ORDER APPEARS AT LINCOLN American Protective Association Organizers Busy Taking in Uountry Members, GOING AGAINST THE PEOPLE STEADILY Every Move Seems to Aid in the Plans of the Corporations. SIZING UP THE SENATORIAL SITUATION its of Vesterday and Their 15 g on the Probabilitics of Next Week ty Contest Taken Up by the H Douglas Con use Committee. Laxcon: eh,, Jan. 16, —[Special Telegram to Tue Bee |—It is frequently marked that the religio-political organization known as the American Protect association will cut quite a figure in the situation before it comes to a finish. And so it will, but in quite a different manner from what is gen- erally supposed. Organizers are at work here, taking in new members from the ranks of the legislators. Tt is given out that this is for the pnrpose of insuring the seats of the republican members from Douglas county, but that isonly a blind to cover up the tracks of the corporation fine workers. Almost from the inception of the organiz tion the railroads have been working to get control of it, and their cappers huave been sent into its ranks by the How con fident they are of theirability to turn it to their own ends is apparent from the work these strikers are now doing. U cific Organizers. The two principal boomers of the ¢ zation who are here luboring persistently a G.W. Co nd Henry Knodell of Omaha Knodell is regularly on the pay roll of the Union Pacific, and Covell, whose name is in separably connected with the notorious Hel- fenstein cases, has a record that dates even further back than when he was a member of the legislature from Otoe county. He is re- puted to be a memberof the ex: mittee of the American Protective associa- tion and figured in the last campiign in steering candidates before that committee to ascertain where they stood and exact from them the iron-bound pledges, He is also an ex-confederate. This is simply another string that the cor- porations are pulling in order to geta grip on members of the legislature by prejudice that they could not reach by boodle. The general trend of the work of the leaders of the organization at this time suggests the thought that the name of the “A. . A" might very properly be changed to the “U. P. A" Thebrand would be much more fit- ting and would be more readily under Kearney Greene's Confidunte. 10 utive com- Among the literary curiosities of the sena- torial canvass is a letter now in the posse: sion of a member of the federal brigade from Beatrice, written by a -lawyer in Shelton, named Stirling. The letter is dated at Kearney, and is something as follows: I am nearerto W. L. Greene of Kearney than any man in the state of Nebraska. He 18, asyou know, acandidate for the United Btates senate, and will control absolutely eleven or twelvs vofes. As I sald hefore, Tam nearer to Greene than any man in the state. You may find it to your intercst to make note of this fact, and it may be well for you to open up negotlations with me as soon as possible. The inference is that Greenc has taken the Shelton lawyer into his full confidence and has made him the catspaw by which he proposes to rake several large pecu chestnuts out of the le ive fire. Greene is in the senatorial fight for what he can get out of it. He seems to be well supplied with funds, and Saturday night put up £ for tickets to the Lansing theater, which he presented to independent members of the legislature. When at home and face to face with the ordinary commercial routine of business, Greene is generally short of funds, and the question that many arve asking is, *‘Where does he get money to throw away on theater tickets?” It is stated on good authority that a roseate-haired individual, now under indictment for defrauding the state on the penitentiary contracts, is put- ting up the stuff for Greene, Breaking the Combine, The outcome of the fight over the joint rules resolution in the house this afternoon was something of a surprise all around. The independents were confident that the demo- crats would stand by them and insure the defeat of the move to concur in the action of the senate, and that when the fight came on aguin before the joint convention the com bined strength would result in the speaker of the house as the prosiding officer. Comparatively fow of the republicans were aware of the deal that was on foot until it over, but now the original inteat of the scheme is apparent to all. It was the first move of the plan 10 split the democrat-popu- list combine. The members were not ex- pecting to be called upon so soon, but the railrouds insisted on the immediate dejive of the goods. "The roads nceded their votes, and as the necessity pressed there was noth- ing else for the bourbon mewbers to do. The senatorial question figured in it to a certain extent, but not rongly as many supposed, for directly opposing interests were working to the same end and all were subservient to the dictates of the corpora- tion managers. The fact that both the Paddock and Thurston forces were working together was proof, however, that the torial plum was not the big stake of contest. The deal was to bring the de crats into bad odor with the independents. Tobe Castor, seconded by his liouten: the Dorgans and Pickrells, enginecred the delivery of the democratic contingent. The fudependents ure wondering tonight how far the split will go, aud if or not they can count ou the den:ocrats for anything further. seating sena the 10 its Alr Tight in the Senate. The rallroads have been quictly giving it out for the past two days that they have the senate under their control, beyond the per- adventure of a doubt, and that they have had it since before the legislature assembled. ‘Their story is that thoy have every repub- lcan senator und three of the democrat and that it will be absolutely impossible for the anti-monopolists 1o secure the p: goof & bill that is chuoxious to them The statement is made tonight that there | are niucteen railroad scnutors, and the per- | sonnel of the committees announced in the ponate today is such to give culor)o the claim l 4 to corporation ownership.

William Dech was made clerk of the com mittee. T. D. Crane, one of the contestees from Douglas county, appeared with his attorney, Howard W. Baldridge, and made a full statement of his side of the cuse, relat ing the unfaiv manner in which the testi mony had taken He asserted that there wis a scintilla of evidence before the committee to prove that the republicans in Douglas county had been illegally elected, and only 1 the privilege of putting testimony in rebuttal Chairman Schiotfeldt asked him why timony was not taken at Omaha, Mr. Crane endeavored to explain the law of evidence to the committee, but the chair man shut him off by saying that the com mittee was thoroughly acquainted with the law and needed no posting from the speaker.

Van Housen was inclined to object to the attorneys. He thouzht the comuittee had nothing to do but to follow the testimony presented. Finally it was suggested that the commit into the testimony tonight and hold wd in the afternoon pages had been read and digested. With this view of the matter the vote to procecd was carried, and Clerk Dech commenced to read The sentiment of the com viously unfavorable to the contestees, the indications point to the every republican member from county unless new ions brought in are finally acted on, In a Bad Fix. Church Howe has made the startling dis covery that several of the members are re- gretting that the Australian ballot law does not extend to the election of a United States senator. He covers it with the chavitable conclusion that the members aforesaid huve strong personal preferences that they are unwilling to voice because of the fact that there is a large and able-bodied constituency at home that might not approve of these personal predilections and the meaus by which they are reached and fostered. The makeup of the senate committec] on privileges and elections, with Babcock as chairman, promises nothing but grief for the two republican senators from Douglas Considerable bitter feeling was engendered by the course pursued by Clarke and Lobeck during the first week of the session, and the personal attitude of their democratic col- league is far removed from a friendly char- acter. If the report is unfavorable to them, and it is far from being improbable that it will be, the two senators will be dumped out in the cold “too quick,” and Messrs. Meyer and Brennan will be summoned to assume the duties of legislato sessions in the morn until the S0 ob- and ittee was unseating of Douglas nd the compli arise other questions are before cases ne to Save Time, One question that will come up very shortly is that of having measures briefly discussed at the time of their first or second reading in order to seef it will not be pos sible for some of them to be killed right then and there, and thus save the state the need- less expense of printing them. It frequently happens that there are a dozen bills covering the same point and the intention is to have some of them killed as soon as they see d: light. This is a matter that has been con- sidered by many a former legislature, but it has never been solved satisfactorily, BEach member is wedded to his own effusion and is determined to see it in print, and the chances are that there will be no material change in this respect from the situation in the years gone by.

TRYING HARD TO EFFECT A COMPROMISE Populists Not so Confident of Success as They Were a Few Days Ago A Col mittee Appointed to Patch Up a Peace. Toreka, Kan,, Jun. 16.—For the first time since the legislature convened a week ago, the rival organizations of the lower house today met in peace. Both sides have become weary of the prolonged squabble and an hon est effort was made today to ¢ understanding by which the dual house may be made one. To this end all outsiders were excluded from the hall, newspaper men ¢ cepted, so that the aspirations and interests of the various candidates for state printer nd senator might not stand in the way of a speedy settlement. Both houses met at 4 p. m.and simultane- ously took joint session clect o state printe adopted a resolution for an im mediate joint session of both branches of the lower house for the purpose of discussing in o friendly way the differences which kept them apart. The two houses then went into committee of the whole and at the sugges tion of the republican side A. N. Whitting- ton, a populist, was chosen chairman. The following committee was appointed to devise means of settling the differences be. tween the houses: Warner, Troutman and Seaton (republicans), and Coburn, Campbell and Ryan (populists). ‘Ihe committec was given a half-hour in which to prepare its re ports. At the expiration of that time the ommittee reported that it had been unable to reach an agreement and asked for further time, which wus granted. The joint session then took a recess until 8 p. m. ¥ iled to Accomplish Anything. committee of the whole reassembled s o'clock. The conference committee re ed that it was not ready to report. It 18 granted further time and then a recess wats taken to permit the holding of cauc for the purpose of nominating candidate state printer. T'he dual house adjourned tonight without having accomplished anything. Attempts were made to get together, but the confer- ence meeting fu e any report, and after the caucuses for state printer had ad- Jjourned the house organizations were called toorder and immediately adjourned. The populists took the initiative in the move to adjourn, evidently advised that there was no prospect of an agreement being reached by the committees tonight. The republiean side quickly foilowed the example of their opponents. There is a general feeling tonight that no settlement will be arrived at and the two house organizations will proceed in the way they have been for an indeflnite pel until some move is made by the populists to remove Speaker Douglass from the speaker's stand or pass an appropriation bill. Then the courts will be asked to interfere and the crisis will have come, In the State Senate, In the senate this afternoon a resolution was adopted providing for the holding of a joint session tomorrow at noon with the pop- ulist house for the purpose of electing a state printer, Frank Brown, the republican house clerk, created a sensation by appear ing on the floor_and reading without cere- mony the joint resolution adopted by the re- publican house providing for the holding of a Joint session of the house and senate to elect a state printer. Clerk Brown concluded the ding of the report hefore the chuirman could suppress him, but no action was taken onit. Senator Leedy, populist member of the senate committea appointed to inquire into the legal us of the populist house, read a uespaper interview with: Sen- ator O'Brien, democrat, chairmin of the committee, stating that he would not call the committee together, because the populist majority would adjourn the meeting to pre- vent the reading and consequently the pub- lication of the committee's records. Senator Leedy declared that the interview had im- pugned his honor ana_he demanded an ex- planation. Senator O'Brien reiterated tho statement and said the populist majority had strickea from the senate’s journal all refer- ence to the appointment of the committee, and had sought to keep all the facts from the public, and that Senator Lecdy had voted with them. 1 allowed the mat- ter to rest there i senate adjourned until tomorrow morning. rrive at some for holding a tomorrow to cach house providin the senate .

A very imporant bill to the western part of the state was in- troduced by Mathieson in the house. Horner's senate bill is to better protect the stock in- terests and provides for the appointment of a live stock commissioner in various counties and these commissioners to form a state live stock commission.

Rove, Jan. 16— [New York Herald Cable Special to Tue Bee.] -The news of Sa wlli's appointment as de te leaked out h caused much con by the apostolic today and sternation and dissatisfaction in - certain eir but at the vatican the propaganda, no doubt, felt that the pope had acted wisely Cardinal Rampolla said plainly, when ques tioned on the subject, that the has been made as a r the days ago u prelate, marked ““E2h poveretto sembra chi mue batolli abbia sbaglitio,” His holiness cut him short with the cm- phatic answe *O bene, O male, cio che ha fatto Mgr. Satolli. 11 ha fatto perche ce gli ho detto di falo. Mer. Satolli non sbaglia egli e sempre, mich.” To laymen it may seem rather bold of Rome to press this scheme of the church in America against the wishes of a considerable of the pacy. I 1 this remark sintical dignitary today, reminded in veply that the pope ruled much greater opnosition This is true enough, but the cases are not absolutely parallel. Satolli spoke for the pope. He had authority and knowledge of the papal thought, but he interpreted and did not translate, while tho vesistance of the French bishops was to the will of the pope, expressed by the pope in the pope's own letter to the head of the episcopacy. 1f, when the pope his ical, the American bishops object, the parvallel will be complete. Till then it will fect. From all that is now proceedings at the 1 of archbishops it plain that, strictly speaking, it was not tly called u conference, which implies debate and discussion, whereas the archbishops met only to register their forgone conclusions that considerable misconception might have been avoided if Satolli had not consented to the substitution of a vague formula of ac- quiesence at the end of the printed schemata.
