However, the informal talks today led to the conclusion that a bill of this char- acter not likely to be reported from the naval committeo, and that it action was to be taken It must be on one of the various other plans pending.

An| impression has prevailed among sqme of | the lawyers of the senate that Judge Baker might fafl of confirmation, owiug to prece- dents in the committee on judiclary. Sen- ator Hoar repeatedly has protested again positions outside of the states of which | they were residents. These (mpressions coming to Senator Millard, he bad an in- terview with Senator Hoar in behalt of Judge Baker, which was entirely satls factory to the senator from Nebrasks Speaking of the matter, Senator Millard sald: “It is true 1 had a talk with Mr. Hoar before he left for Massachusetts | about Judge Baker's confirmation. 1 had | heard that the judiciary committee was opposed to confirming persons nominated for places outside their own states and as I did not want Judge Baker's name with- ator Hoar very thoroughly. dently satisflied with my presentation of the case, for he told me if the delegate from New Mexico was not opposed to the nomination he would not stand in the way of Judge Baker's confirmation. I had a talk with Bernard 8. Rodey, delegate from New Mexico, and he told me he was per- fectly satisfled with the nomination. As no charges have been filed against Judge Baker, 1 can see no reason why he should not be confirmed just as soon as his yomi- nation is reported by Senator Hoar's com- mittee."” Senator Millard presented Judge Baker to President Roosevelt today and later to Attorney General Philander C. Knox. ostmaster Montgomery Alliance, R. W. Montgomery is to be appointed | postmaster at Alliance, vice Joseph Par- | adls, the present fncumbent. J. R. Van Boskirk, Nebraska state senator from Box Butte county, arrived in Washington this | morning and immediately went to the can- itol to have an interview with Senator Millard in behalf of Mr. Montgomery. After the conference It was intimated that Mr. Paradis would not get a reappoint- ment, as he belonged to a faction of the party that {s non persona grata with the powers mow in comtrol of that por- tion of the Sixth district, at least. Van Boskirk was delighted over his which 18 regarded as a triumph the anti-Dorrington faction, as the postoffice fight was thought to be the key to the situation, and it the anti-Dorringtonites could win out In this fight they might be able to pry F. W. Dor- rington loose from the land office at Alli- ance. Mr. Van Boskirk will go back to Nebraska to become a pronounced candi- Hate for Mr. Dorrington’s place in the Alllance office, incidentally keeping his eye on congress, toward which he has lingering aspirations. According to Mr. Van Boskirk's etory, Mr. Paradls had cir- ulated rumors that he was to be reap- polnted postmaster at Alllance. This prompted Mr. Van Boskirk to hurry to Washington, where he says he found Par- adis stock very low, and the appointment of Mr. Montgomery was agreed upon with- out any difficulty. Mr. Van Boskirk will spend the week in Washington, this being bis first visit to the capital. “Bud” Lindsey Custodian at Lincoln, Senator Dietrich announced today that he had selected L. L.

Cases in Supreme Court, The supreme court today aMirmed with costs two cases coming to it from the su- preme court of Nebraska: The Chicago, Rock Island & Paclfic Rallway company, plaintiff, in error, against Webster Eaton, administrator of John R. Matthews, de- ceased, and the same agalnst Bertha Zer- necke, adminstratrix of Ernest H, Zer- necke. The court also reversed with costs the case of the Northern Assurrance com- pany of London, petitioner, against the Grandview Building association of Lincoln. This case has attracted universal atten- tion and was argued exbaustively on both sldes, Charles J. Greene and R. W. Breck- enridge of Omaha appearing for the insur- ance company and Halleck of Lincoln for the bullding association. The opinion of the supreme court handed down today, re- versing the court below, is a decided vie- tory for Greene and Breckenridge. The case involved the question whether an officer, agent of other representative of an insurance company has a right to walve the provisions of a polley without noting the walver of such provisions upon the face of the policy or being attached and made a part thereof. The court by its ruling holds that recovery is not possible on a policy of insurance unless the waiver of conditions be noted at the time of its writing, and then must be made a part of the polic Neh ka Judictal Districts, Bills dividing Nebraska into two judiclal istricts are becoming numerous.

Reeves was examined with regard to the paying of four duplicate warrants on the Pestoflice depart ment for the pay of employes in July, 1899 when he was deputy auditor of Cuba, and involving about $8,000. ] Reeves sald that both sdts of warrants had been pald. He testifiéd that Neeley told him that he had cashed these warrants Reeves' testimony was tradictory In many respects to his pre T:- wtatements. During Reeves' testimony Neeley re- marked that Reeves was Retting himself into a tight place and that if he would keen on he would prove him (Neeley) to be In- nocent.

BLOW AT _ BLACKMAILING Mayor Low Determines to Rid City of Alleged Officinl Corrup= tion, NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—Mayor Low sent his message to the board of aldermen to- day. It was brief and the only subject treated of was blackmall in the civil ad- ministration, in the stamping out of which he said he desired the co-operation of the city. “If during the next two years,” the mes- sage says, “any citizen or employe of the city pays money lllegitimately, either to avold Injury or Inconvenience, or to secure his rights, ne will do it because he wants to and not because he must. No one, from the largest corporation to the poorest boot- black need pay one dime for the protection from harm or to secure just treatment at the hands of the city government. No laborer or other employe meed part with 1 cent of his salary to anyone, elther in or out of the city government. Anyone asked to make payment for any purpose has only to report the fact to the mayor to be sure of protection and redress. With the co- operation of the citizens and the city em- ployes, the whole foul system can be broken up." MEN TO HANG FOR BURGLARY | Be Executed on Same Day in North Carolin, RALEIGH, N. C.
