O'Neill of Lancaster, who had been a candidate for the place, was one of those who attended the conference, and it is announced that he will be a member of the committes which will select the committees of the senate and thus be able to secure a de- sirable position for himself in the organiza- tion of the senate.

One teature of the fight for the speaker- | ship & that the smaller candidatés—those | with the least votes—are announcing that they Intend to stay in until the end, and at t one of that number declares that the between Mockett and Thompson will defeat both of them and let| in the strongest of the other men. Thompson's strength did not show up as strong today as It thought it would Mockett showed considerable strength, but both men claim the seat, and there aro | others who claim the place for them. | House of Hall county had opened his head- quarters and he is getting favorable no- tice. His room was filled all day and he | expects to stay until the finish. Late today apparently there was change In the speakership fight.

Majority of Superintendents Attend. State Superintendent Fowler this after- noon expressed himself as well pleas:d with the attendance of county superin- tendents at the State Teachers' assocla- tion. During the session there were sixty- two of the ninety superintendents present. That no more of them were here Mr. Fowler attributes to the fact that the salary pald eome of the superinjendents was £o small that they could not afford to come. With few exceptions those who did not attend are pald salaries ranging from $200 to $5600. The increased attendance Mr. Fowler re- gards as one of the most helpful features | of the assoclation.

The heirs of Herman Goede are very in- tent that the state should pay them 000 for a lot of land which Goede had In Cheycnne county when he died. heirs live in Germany, and under the allen land law of the state he could not hold the land. The state provides that the land | be appraised and sold to the state for the appraised valuation and the money received therefor turned over to the heirs. The legislature two years ago refused (o Beemer, and he will thereby retain pertect | affairs was bound to cause discord and | The | instead of a deputy he will have | | | | not meet with statute. The county treasurer, the county judge and the clerk constitute ihe appraising board under the statute. In the Goede case the property was appralsed, but the state officials think that the appraisement was too high. It is sald that the price fixed by the appraie>rs is in excess of the the requirements of the | true value of land in Cheyenne county not under irrigation. Hay,land is worth but $2 an acre, while tillable land ranges from $4 to 38 In value The constitutionality of the alien law has never been tested in the federal courts Should there be any treaty bestowed upon the subjects of the German emperor rights with which the law conflicts, the supreme court would be in duty bound to declare the law invalid. aptain Fisher, who appears for the claimants, claims that the transfer has been made and that the state has posses- slon of the land, urging that as a resson why the state should pay the claim. On the other hand, Land Commissioner Foll- mer is authority for the statement that the land has never been taken by the state, inasmuch as ‘there is nothing in the rec- ords of his office to show & transter.
