- G 3 despernte ¢fforts have been made to convince Mr. Greene that there are no grounds for impeachmont, 1t is stated that one matter that was over. Tooked in the original report was the fact that the members of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings were ropeatedly notified regarding the irregular manner in with building th which affairs connected of the cell house were being conducted, This notice was_conveyed to them hoth by ex- jovornor Boyd and by ex-Warden Mallon and thoy were also notified through the press. Other Trregularitics Found, The investigation into the manner in which the hoard conducted its business is still the subject of investigation by some of the house committees and it is stated that the committee that is looking after the state institutions has found another lot of evi- dence in connection with the reform school at Kearney It has been discovered that a new mothod of procedure went into effect about two years ago, shortly after the pres- ent impeachables went into offiee. Not- withstanding the fact that the law distinctly provides that all vouchers shall be receipted for by the party in whose favor they are drawn, it hus been the custom to bunch the warrants and let the superintendent of the fnstitution draw the money and pay it out on his personal check. One instance was found where four vouchers aggregating over $1,300 were bunched and the warrant issued in favor of an individual whose interest in it amounted to bt Was 50 Ordered by the Board, WORK OF THE LECISLATURE Yestorday's fession a Remarkably Busy One in Both Branches, CLEARING AWAY THE HEAPS OF BILLS I—A K Accused Fate of Many Measures Settl rt the Men nvict Powell Lald of onerating Killing € Over—1In the 150, Lixcorx, Neb., Mareh 23 —[Special Tele, gram to Tue Bee]—Thirty-three senators nswored to roll call this morning and the sixty-sccond day of the session commenced as briskly as if the members were drawing their 5 per day, instead of serving the state gratuitously.

With this understanding the senate agreed to the motion.

In the review of the work of the peniten- tiary commiittee, as published in Tue Be Sunday morning, the name of Representd tive Van Houscn, a member of the tee, was unintentionally omitted. He was a faithful attendant at all the mectings of the committee and it is but just to him that he insisted on a vigorous prosecution of the investigation and gave it his personal attention. Final Adjourn nt Not Fixed. Chairman Babeock of the senate commi: too on final adjou: the fixing of a day for ending of the session, but he receives cold comfort from the house committee. When he waited on Chairman Oison of the house committee and expressed the opinion that a day ought to be set, Olson the replied that there was too much work yet ment on ad- Babeock replied that re- sponded that in that case the legislature would stay until fail, or as long as might be 10 be done to render any agre journment advisable. t might take till fall, to which Olson necessary.

Van Housen insisted that it could be hurried just the day, and that a8 well without setting tho day could bo agreed upon afier the rush was out of the way. Keckley took the same position, and it is not now anparent just how the senate is go- is “The sentiment of the house is reflected by the commitiee, and 1sagainst nt matters The corporations are te officials and the boodle crowd are working to the same end, as it promises more relief for them | I ing to forc ready for it djournment until the house adjournment until several impor arooutof the w: crowding for a fin h, and the st than any thing elso in sight.

The presi- dent ruled Stewart's substitute out of orde for the reason that the law already providi for such a disposal of the senate prop Harris’ motion was voted down and ham's was agreed to.. 4 Work of the Sifting Committee. Senator McCarty then precipitated a lively discussion by introducing a resolution direct- ing the sifting committee to immediately report to the senate such of the bills on the general file as in its judgment ought to be passed and providing further thatno bills should be passed except those so reported. Some senator offered an amendment to the effect that the sitting committee be em- powered to excreise the same discretion on the bills already on third reading, but for some reason the secretary failed to notice it and the president of the senate overlooked it. No record was made of it, and although it was discussed by several of the senators the lieutenant governor ignored it in putting the questions to thesenate. The amendment might have been fatal to house roll No. it could have been ignored by the committee if that body happened to make up a majority of the opponents of the bill. Senator Dale opposed the resolution offered by McCarty. He claimed that it conferred an arbitrary power upon the nine members of the sifting committee and that it would also require a two-thirds majority to adopt it. Senator Tefft asserted that the action of a Jjority was the action of the senate and that the resolution was perfectly proper. Senator Dysart opposed it vigorously and gave his reasons at length. His remarks called from Senator Pope the statement that he was assuming something that he didn't know anything about. Dysart retorted that he did know wnat he was tatking about. e said he was a member of the senate two years ago. when the same matier came up for discussion.

It further provides that no examiner shall be an ofticer orown stock in any bank and reduces the amination fee to &0, It requires all banks dofng a commercial and savings busi- ness to keep two sets of books and allows twelve months for the change to be made. “The bill includes thivty-cight sections and is the product of the committee on banking and currency. 1t was amended but very little. and the changes were not material.

Much manifested. Rev. George rgo of Fraud Not Sustained Further Investigation, Phineas Hanucah, the Persian who pre- tended he was engaged to Miss Anna Davis of this city, had a hearing in Chicago yester- day on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The charge was preferred by P. M. King of the bureau of frauds, and the hearing attracted a large crowd to Justice Lyon's court, "The prosecution did not tend to prove that Hanucah had madeany false representations or had not applied the money collected by him to the purpose for which it was in- tended. Abraham Kuh of Kuh, Nathan & Fisher and Charles Kosminski, banker, testified t they each had given Hanucah $10, but they could not state it had not been applied to the purpose for which they gave Held for it or that any of the letters shown or representations made by Hanucah were fraudulent. The attorney representing for his disc nucah asked ge, but Justice Lyon said that whileup to tl time there had been no tes- timony to incriminate Hanucah, he would continue the case until tomorrow and issue a subpaena for Dr. Wise of Cinciunati, now in the city, whose letter, shown by Haunucah, is said to have been fraudulently obtained.
