Bad Investments, The fnvestments of the defunct bank were not of the character that will commend themselves to bankers of shrewdness and experien r instance, the bank was known to have held 000 stock in a com 1y owning pedigreed stallions, organized y W. Small in Clay county, and which afterward turned out to be stock of the most ordinary description. Then Mosher and Outealt held %50,000 of the stock of the Western — Manufacturing company which is the company ngaged in handling convict labor it the state itentinry. The bank also held 225,000 of the gasand electrie light stock. the vice president of the bank being president of the gas company, Th also held 802,500 of its own in the Farmers and Merchants Inst company. a local concern organized by capitaliss in this city. ‘The Southern Stay and Lumber company came in for another £50,000, and Lincoln Savings bank for £10,000. mallest amount of stock held by th bank w n the Nebraska Stock Yar pany at West Lincoln, the holdings in this compuny amounting to £,000. In addition to all these the il is believed to have held stock “in timber lands in the south, in the ‘on contracts and in several other ven nres all well enough in their way, but of scareely the nuture to be handled by s bank avhich has tho i tsof 0 many people in its keeping. About the State Deposit. State Treasurer Bartley desires to make a correction as to the misunderstanding that is prevalent regarding the liability of his bona for the amount lost by the failure of the bank. He suys that the speci by the bank is intended to cover just such cases as this, and that the state will have no recourse whatever against him or his bonds- men. L+ stated further that the bank's bond was not approved by him, as he has nothing whatever to do in that connection, the approving board consisting of the gov. ernor, attorney general and ary” of state. If the bond given is sufti cient the state will have to whistle for what- ever amount it may be unable to realize from the assets of the bank. Inasmuch the bond was for §100,000 he was authorized to deposit there a sum equal to one-half of that amount. When the office was turned over 1o him the amount on deposit there was $285.857.85. During the week that he has been in oftice he has checked against that to the amount of about §0,000, which would leave the state's interest in the deposits in the defunct bank about §225,000 at the pres- ent time, as he had made no deposits there himself. Hesays he was reducing the de posit there because ordinary business prudence and sagacity demaaded it, although under the law he could not have been cen- sured had he increased it to 150,000, Only State Depository, He said further that the is the only state depository tal National in the city at the present time, us none of the other banks | hud s yet filed their bond, and he could not, therefore, make interest drawing dey any of the others.” There wer however, in the vaults of oth, city of Lincoln, but it is for safe keeping, because of the inadvisability of leaving so much money in the vaults of the treasurer's oftice. The new law which became operative only ks ago is being severely censured use of the unfavorable light in which it hus been placed by the development in this ise. The treasurer expressed the belief that h legislatuve discovered that he had with- drawn a portion of the state funds from deposit, he would have been censured fo that action o er Bartley's Bond. It may be interes print the bond of State Treasurer Burtley, which was approved by Governor Boyd Jat ry 5 and by Governor Crounse January The following are the bondsmen and the amounts for which they qualified: HOU0.0[A.

Feeling against the bank offeials has run hich today, due in a great part to the fact th deposits wers received up until closing time Sawrday afternoon.

DECIDED THAT A MAJORITY IS SUFFICIENT Senator Clarke Returns to His Seat in Senate—House Decldes to Ask a Ro- count of Votes on Constitu- tlonal Amendments. the Liscory, Neb., Jan. 23,—[Special to Tae Bee, ] —Immediately after the joint conven- tion had been called to order this morning and the presence or absence of the members indicated by the roll call, Senator North in troduced a resolution to the effect that it was the sense of the joint convention that inasmuch as there was some confusion in re- gard to the law srning the election of a senator, that it be the sense of the joint con- vention that in order to insure the legality of the clection of a United States senator that sixty-seven votes be required for a majority. Crane of Douglas raised the point of order that if the law necessary the r and that if a less numbe makes sixty-seven votes solution was unnecessary, could elect the law could not be changed or set uside by a mere resolution, Casper of Butler was of the opinion that it would be perfectly proper to adopt the resolution. The adoption of the resolution, he said, would avoid all question as to the legality of the election. Senator Pope stated States senate had, in 1 that it that the United several instances, required o constitutionai majority of both branches of the legislature to elect a United States senator, and in reply to o question from Porter of Merrick, against York and Trumbull the contest cases Miller of New of Illinois, Want Senator Moo the matter and claimed that no harm would be done if the considerati went over for one day Tect we Church Howo 4 vigorous restion. He was « to the procedur plated by the ion of Senator Moore, and wanted the matter settled then and there. 'he mem. bers of the joint convention, he said, were not afraid to meet the issue like men. The majority ruled Senator Everett was not only opposed to deferving the matter, but he was equally op posed to the adoption of the resolution. It seemed to him that the law was so plain that it could not be misunderstood. If the joint convention set itself up as a body to construe the constitution of the United States on so important a matter it woula soon make Nebraska the laughing stock of the entire nation Senator Graham suggested that if the law says that a majority of those present at the joint convention may elect it was certainly improper for the joint convention to make any other ruling Senator Moore still insisted upon his mo- tion to defer. but the convention by a vote of 63 to 36 voted not to defer the matter. Ounl, Majority Required, Then the discussion more animation than ever, brought to the cierk’s de: constitution of the United States’ and re- quested that the provision relating to the clection of United States senators be read After the clerk had done so the senator from Cass asserted with a great show of confl- dence that the provision of the statute just read was so plain that there was no excuse for the further cousideration of the resolu- tion Porter again took the floor. He assumed that none of the gentlemen were discussing the matter from the standpoint of politics. He was certain that he was not., He felt certain thut 1t was of as much advantage to the independents to decide that thirt, members should elect as that sixty-seven should be required. The licutenant governor then read from the report of the committee on privileges and_elections in_the contest Warner Miller in New York and expr 1t as his judgment that it required but a majority of the joint convention to elect. Goss of Douglas moved that the entire matter be referred to a committee of three, who should report upon the matter at the next meeting of the joint convention, Indefinitely Postponed. Elder raised the point of order thata motion to defer had been voted down only a few moments previously. The point of order was sustained and the resolution indefinitely postponed. Porter of Merrick then raised another question. He wanted to know if, under the opinion of the chair, the minority could pro- tect itself by refraining from voting. Wat- son referred him to the ruling of Tom Reed, and Porter retorted that it was for the pur: pose of getting a ruling from the chair on that infernal precedent that he made his point of order. Senator Dysart regarded the whole mat- teras asort of “now you see it, now you don’t hocus pocus,” and he wanted the mat- ter dropped. Speaking upon the quc raisod by Dorter, MeKes his opinion the chair could uot be asked to a ruling on a hypothetical question, and the chair agreed with him. Stevens then moved a rec but the chair decided the motion order for the: reason that the roll call been ordered. Barey apoealed from the clsion of the chair, and_the chair reversed himself under protost. The motion to take 58 was then put and overwhelmingly ted d to Defer the Matter, wanted time to invest 1 of the resolution . and made a motion to ity to op: i opportu resumed with Senator Tefft k a copy of the was stion of information until 3:30, out’ of had Outeome of the Ballot, The roll call for United tates senator was then ordered, and resulted : Powors_ .. o G maiey Puddock.

On motion of Johuson the committee of the chair, to for the recount stitutional am election densen spoke urgently in favor of the bill and a general discussion followed Horst believed that a recount would result in_the discovery of 100,000 votes McKesson favored a recanvass of the votes by county boards in order to save the time of the legislature Stevens ereated somethine of a seir by re marking that the fact that the bill came m the republican side of the house was an evidence of fraud. Jensen flushed angrily, but contented him- self by saying: I have no remarks to make in answer to the gentleman Then ex-Speaker Elder poured oil on the ubled waters by stating that in his ion Stevens was off his base Burry deprecated the personal turn the discussion “had taken and then Porter clinched the matter by saying that it would be cheaper to have the votes recounted than to have the amendments resubmitted to the peaple. The committee then arose and, on motion of Kruse, the report of the committee to the effect that the bill be engrossed for passage was adopted Discussing Adjournment. Barry stated that owing to the many members it would be only parties to take an adjournment o'clock tomorrow Oukley raised the point of order that the motion ‘was not in_order, as it would be necessary to take a ballot on United States senator. Barry claimed that he was influenced solely by a desive to be fair, and that the abseice of several members of each party made it advisable to adjourn Soderman and Sheridan s tion. ' Howe and Cornish supported Oakley, and Porter, who was in the chair, sustained the point. “What if the call should show uo quorum?” asked Barry, who was still fight- ing. “Then the vote for senator could not be taken,” answered the chair. **How about a call of the house and order- ing the serzeant-at-arms to bring in the members?” suggested Howe. The chair said he knew of nothing under the joint rules that provided for a call of the house and Howe fainted. Speaker Gaftin resumed Barry determined to try it over again, for as soon " as Suter moved ‘a recess until 11:50 he amended with a motion to adjourn. Horst raised a point of order on the sena- torial ballot, while Rhodes raised the point that no intervening busines had been transacted since the prior consideration of the matter, Between the two, the chair ruled Barry out of order, and the house took a recess. house went into whole, with Oakley in the consider house roll 112, providing Hf the votes cast for the con udments at the last gencral bsence of fair to all until 10 conded the mo- the chair and After Joint Session, At the afternoon session of the house, res- olutions were introduced by Elder requiring the state house janitor to clean the snow an ice from the walks so that it would not be necessary to trample down the grass.

The first one is by Church Howe and is intended to prevent the undervaluation of property by assessors and the State Board of Equaliza- tion. It provides that ssor who pur- posely assesses real or personal property at less ‘than its cash value shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be liab fine in addition to damages to be col- ted by the state, county or local corpora- It is also made the duty of the State Board of Equalization to assess all railroad and telegraph property at its cash value.

To Amend the Ballot Law, Representative Beal of Custer county has introduced a bili, house roll No. 8, intended to facilitate the casting of votes at general or special elections in this state. After describing the form of ballot to be used, which, in general, is the same as used under Mr. Beal adds a p candidates of all parties the election shall printed in columns by themselves with a distinct line between, The name of the party shall be printed at the top of cach column, and any voter desiring to vote th straight ticket may place a cross mark op posite the designation of the party at the top of the colunn, Itis made the duty of the judges and clerks of election to count all the candidates under the heading marked in this manner.

The law is based upon a similar pro- vision in the Towa law, and_if passed will greatly facilitate the counting of votes as well as promoting the independence of the voter. Against vision that ‘the rticipating - in he Employment of Pinkertons. Another measure which has been called to the attention and consideration of the pres ent session is one introduced by Represen tive [rwin prohibiting the employment of “Pmkertons” within the boundaries of the state. His bill provides that any and all persous not authorized by th state federal government shall be prohibited from excreising special or private police powers, It is made the duty of the sheriff of a county, or mayor of a city, to quell any disturbance by the employment of deputies selected from the electors of the state.
