Nomination for Mayor. Hean (From a Staft Correspondent.) | LINCOLN, Feb. §.—(Special)—The State | Board of Charities and Corrections spent a ! profitadle and pleasant day, the second of its annual convention. This moraing Chief | of Police Donahue was to Lave been here | and deliver an address on the punishment of the husband who deserts his family The chiet failed to show up, but his address way read and produced much favorable com- ment. The chief stated that he had re- questeéd the Douglas delegation to Introduce & bill covering his idea. The bill is not to Include punishment for wives who desert their husbands, said the chief, because cases of this kind were rare. Following this, Chief of ronce Hoagland of Lincoln endorsod the sentiments of ihe paper by the Omaha chief, excepting that the law should include runaway wives as well. Rev. L. P. Ludden and Rev. J. S Leavitt, the latter of Omaha, made short talks, after which the following resolution was adopted: Be 1t Resolved, That we commend to the legislature that a law be enacted that shall in some way restrict the license and law- lessness of unfaithful husbands and wives who abandon their companions and help- less children, or fall to support them in a measure of their ability, and they become pitiable charges on the communities in Which they live, beside undergoing untold s, all on account.of the dissipa vity of the husband or 1 or mother, who cruelly left their home. We recommend that such desertions be made a felony and punished accordingly with adequate penaities. Moreofer that a #ystem be devised by which such husbands may be paroled and be compelied to labor for the support of their families. We'eall attention of honorable legislators to a law in the state of Ohlo, which com- pels unfaithful parents to return and sup- Tt _their homes properly. The Ohio jaw proving an effective deterrent against the cowardly and cruel evil. Dr. Rowlands, Chief of Police Hoagland and John Davies were appointed as a com- mittee to present this resolution to the leglalature. Rev. Luther P. Ludden gave an address on the subject of dependent children. Dur- ing the course of his remarks he criticized the action of the conference in sending resolutions to the logislature. He sald the proper and most effective way would be for every one to write to his senators and rep- rescntatives, demanding that they take | some action In this matter and suggesting changes that might be beneficlal and et- foctive. He commended the work that was being done, but suggested some other de- partments which were necessary to suc- cosstully carry on the work. A home for crippled - children was especially recom- mended. The difficulty of getting ihese unfortunates into the homes for the friend- less was spoken of and the attempt that was being made to keep them out of the almshous The delegates adjourfied at 12 o'clock and ‘went to the Lincoln asylum, where they were the guests of Superintendent Greene for lunch, At the business meeting tonight the con ference elected H. V. Héagland president; John David, secretary, and C. E. Prevey, treasurer. The conference was the best at- tended in it history. Talks of Juvenile Courts. . AL the session Jast. night Judge B. B. Lindsey of Denver addressed the confer- ence. Judge Lindsey talked of the grow- ing criminal tendencies of children In cities and showed by statistics the great nuin- ber of young people who are arrested every year. He declared that the thildren are the problem of the age: Under conditions exidting ln many states they are thrown in with men of the worst type when ar- Fested for trifiing offenses. The juvenile caurt does away with this and takes the place of the parentd who In many cases are not capable of taking care of them. The methods used are kindness and P tience and are ealculated to bring out the better qualities that every child possesses The juvenile court recognizes the fact that they are misguided wnd not really erimi- nals and secks to change the course of their lives by giving needed help. The interest of the child is the first considera- tion of the court. The influences of a home are given If the child has no homo, and he 1s taught to obey and respect the rights of others. He sald that the Jaw ts\(he dollar above the child, but the juventle court 1s a saving to the state. Bome figuies used showed that 40 per cent of the children who get into the habit of taking littlo things later find their way into penitectiaries. The children arrestod in Lincoln in one year numbered 316. The great consideration is to keep them away from criminals and lead them to a better life. This can not be done wheré they are brought into contact with older mon who are almost past redemption. Tonight Judge L. G. Kinte of Des Moines, member of the Board of Control, delivered an interesting address on “The Humane, Efficient and Economic Administrailon of State Institutions.” have e Big Item. ate Mutual Hafl Ta- surance company of Omaha could mot or did not pay its losses the state suditor wrote for an explanation at the request of the losers. Today the insurance depart- ment of the auditor's office recelved a ststement of the company's business with this cheerful note attached to the bottom: “From the above statement it will he seen that until these premium notes are paid it will be imposaible for the company to make payments to those parties filing claims.

COLUMBUS, Neb., Feb. 8.—(Special.)— Charles Woods, the 19-year-old son of Mrs. Lloyd of this city, was instantly killed at 8:40 last night by the bullet from a pistol into which he was looking to see if it was Icaded. Charlie and a chum, Archie Lallee, were In a shed mear the Lloyd home, where they spent much of their time with their traps and tools, and the boy had been fix- ing the revolver so it would work. When the shot was fired the victim fell, ex- tinguishing the lighted lantern, which Lal- lee relighted before being aware that his friend was seriously injured. He'ran at once to the house for help, but before the mother and uncle of the vietim could ar- rive at his side Charlie had expired, the bullet baving entered his right eye and, penetrating the brain, lodged against the skull ut the back of the head. Funeral arrangements are being delayed on,account of the absence of the deceased’s sister, Grace, who is in the east, but who 18 expected to arrive as soon as posaible.

BEATRICE, Neb., Feb. 6.—(Special Tel- egram.)—After a trial lasting two days, the case of the State of Nebraska againsi Rev. ‘S. P. Benbrook, charged with shoot- ing at Dr. Johnson of Wymore, went to the_jury at 10 a. m. today. In his instruc- tions to_the jury Judge Lemon sald that it the evidence was not suficient beyond a reasonable’ doubt to conviet the defendant on the charge, they could bring a verdict of assault or acquital. The jury returned at 5 o'clock with the following verdics “We, the jury, find the defendant not gullty as charged In the information, but find him guilty of assault.” As Mr. Benbrook has three days in which to file a motion fcr a mew trial, no action will be taken in the case by the eourt un- il the necessary time expires.

FREMONT, Neb., Feb. 6.—(Spsclal.)— The Fremont Telophone company is having some trouble with people here over trim- ming trees. The new company's wires are many of them thirty-five feet above the ground. This brings them well into the tops of the larger troes and In order to put in the wires compels them to practically cut out the top of the tree. This method of trimming, while necessary jn order string the wiree, ruins the looks of the trees otpectally ash and elms. Several prop- erty owners have forbidden the company 10 trim the trees opposite their lots, and as 1t will have to be done in order 1o put up the wires It is probable that an injunction | cult may be started on account of the tele- phono business. The Bell company put an eadditional feree of men at work today, and while they are undoubtedly locsing some busines: are putting in some new tele- phone Suow Keeps Farmers at Home.

REMAINDER IS SCATTERED ALONG TRACK Victim is Supposed to Be David Nich. olson, Who Was Retur: Atte Two Years' Stay Oklahoma, HASTINGS gram.)—~When Burlington passenger train No. 3 reached Hastings tonight it carried @ part of a human body on the front trucks of the second sleeper. When the remains were removed it was found to be the chest and one leg of & man. There was not a tch of clothing on the portion of the body and only o part of a shoe was on the limb. A search down the track revealed small pleces of flesh scatered along for a quar- ter of a mile. The head and arms were found a quarter of m mile from the depot, | scattered along about thirty feet apart. As yet nothing has been found to identity the body, but Policeman Widmier ‘wal aboard No.3 and he is of the opinion that the remains are those of David Nicholson, who was on his way home to Kenesaw, Neb., after an absence of two years in Oklahoma. Mr. Widmier says that he wa | talking to Nicholson about ten minues be- fore the train reached Hastings and that s Mr. Nicholson was under the influence of liquor he offered his assistance and | Nicholson accented, but said he had to first | et some things from another car. That o the last seen of Nicholson. The re- { mains were so badly mutilated that it is | almost impossible to recognize them, but Jjudging from the cap, a pair of glasses and small pleces of clothing found Mr. | Widmier seems confident that it was David | Nicholson who met such a horrible death. Coroner Chapman, in gathering up the remains, found half of the head in a snow- bank, together with a few other scattered pleces of the bndy, and took them to am undertaker's establishment. It seems that the man was about 60 years old, had a gray beard, wore glasses and had on dark clothes. The Inquest will be held in the morning. TO JAIL FOR USING TOBACCO State Board of Health En Making Use by Minors Misdemeano: es BINL LINCOLN, Feb. 6.—The State Board of Health has endorsed a bill to the state leg- islature providing for a jail penalty for the use of tobacco by minors. Any boy convicted of using tobacco in any form may be sent to jail for two days for each offense. Problem of NORTH BEND, Neb., Feb. 6.—To the Editor of The Bee: I notice in your paper & communication from people at West Point and Nebraska City on the question of good roads. I would say to those interested in hay- 1ng good roads that the trouble is not all in the present road law. While It is far from perfect, still every time the legls- lature gives it a turn they only leave the matter ih worse shape than before, 8o it 18 not best to lose too much time looking toward the state house to build roads, a roads cannot be bullt without money, push and perseverance. Dodge county is under township organ- fzation. About ten years ago the people of Cotterall and Union townships congpived the idea that they would be better with one road oversecr in each township than with three, and they petitioned the super- visors to have this done. Since that time one man in each township has looked after the work of keeping the .roads smooth, but the people did not stop at this, for each townehip purchased a road machine and four lead teams and relied on the poll tax for pushers. 1 feel safe In saying that the two ma- chines have made at least 200 miles of good road grades in their own and nelghboring townships, which adds very much to the trade of our city, and this was all brought, about without esking the legislature to amend the present road law We find that the only way to get good roads and to keep them good is for the pecple to take off their coats and go after them and keep after them, for there is no use in making foads unless they are kept in good condition, which can be done only by having one road overseer in a town- ehip. . Auy person wishing information on the question of good roads and how to keep them good will do well to drop off at North Bend and look at our roads and learn how it was all brought about. C. CUSACK.

TERMS OF A NEW MERGER Interchange of Unifon Pacifie, South- ern Pacific and Rock Island [ stoeck, 0d" Roads. NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—The principals in the Rock Isiand, Union Pacific and South- ern Pacific deals have not yet issued an official statement, nor is it likely that they | | wili do so until the agreement ha ratified by their respactive boards. It may be stated on the best authority that an extension of the community-of- Interests contract has been entered into and that the Rock Island will share con- trol of the Houston & Texas Central road The terms include giving Rock Island stock in part or whole payment for the Houston & Texas Central stock bought, and this presumably means that the Southern Pacific, which is contrclled by the Unlon Pacific, will take an amount of Rock Island | into tle treasury. ]KANS;\S COLLIE BEST DOG been Premier Homors a Show Ameriea te Canine Owmed in Winmetka. nted in not | STAMFORD, Coun., Feb. 6.—The firsi an- nual show of the Collle C'ub of America opened here today with 115 dogs bemched The rst Lencrs of the show went (o Ballyarnette E«lpse, owned by George Hig- ginson, Jr., of Winnetka, Kan.

ROOSEVELT REFUSES (Continued from First Page.) that Mr. Bowen has an abeolute right, act- ing for Venesuela' of course, to object to the president acting as arbitrator. To do 80 would be painful to Mr. Bowen, whose admiration for Mr. Roosevelt is well known, but he felt compelled to keep In mind that he Is not here as an American, but s the representative of Vemezuela The British gmbassador's conduct has re- sulted in several detalls of the conference of last Monday leakiny cut and these are substantiated by the other negotiators present. It seems that when the British ambassa- dor, who took the lead at this conference, had finished reading the cablegram of Lord Lansdowne, containing his last proposition for a 20 and 10 per cen: division of the customs receipts between the allies and other claimant nations respectively, Mr. Bowen at once remarked in an emphatic tone that the proposition was but another scheme to trick Venezuela: into abetting an alllance against her for sixéyears and probably longer. . Bowen Explodes Bombshell. He added that he would not consent to any schome for continuing the triple alli- ance one day longer than he was forced to do. A diplomat stated afterward: “Of course it was Mr. Bowen who exploded the bombshell the moment it was made.” The charge that Great Britain was en- deavoring eretly to continue its alllance with Germany was resented by the British ambassador, although he showed no ill- teeling at the conference. He afterward | sent a cablegram to London that he was displeased with the conduct of Mr. Bowen and if it were left to him to decide he would not continue negotiations with him. He expressed to his conferees of the diplamatic corps the greatest indignation that an ambassador from the court of St. James should be #o treated. On the other hand, both the Itallan ambassador and German minister have taken occasion to say several times since the Monday conterence that Mr. Bowen has treated aip the nego- tiators with uniform courtesy and surpris- ing generosity. throughout the negotiations, and only yesterday both of these diplomats called and expresscd thanks for his consid- eration of them. “Mr. Bowen must land up for Venez- uela,” it was explained. “If he did not he would forfeit our respeet.” Another feature of the last twenty-four hours has been the receipt of an exceedingly tart cablegram from Lord Lansdowne at the British embassy. The cablegram, it is stated, went g0 far as to remind the Lritish ambassador that he was here to obey or- ders. Dispute Bowe: 's Autherity. PARIS, Feb. 6.—The correspondent of the Matin at Caracas telegraphs that a pamphle: is being circulated in that eity in which It s asserted that the powers con® | ferred on Minister Bowen are null because of an, article in the Venexuela constitution providing that a representative of Venez- uela, In such case, must have an authori- zatlon in order to serve the public, and the pamphlet points out that Minister Bowen bas no such authorization. Moreover, ac- | cording to the pamphlet, any convention he may negotlate will be invalid unless it is confirmed by the Yenezuelan tongress. Think Offer is ® 'Comcesaion. LONDON, ‘Feb. 6.—It ia officially stated that the allies’ offer to submit the method of treatment of ther clalms to arbitra- tion is a concession which should facili- tate rather than delay a speedy settlement of the Venozuelan affairs. At the Cerman embassy It is eaid that { the blockade should be ralsed within a few days. Bmphasis continues to be lald on the contention that the polnt the alliss now egroe ‘o arbitrate is not preferential, bat separate treatment for their claims. It 1s asserted that Mr Bowen has made explanations to Ambsesador Herbert which have removed the friction in that quarter, and it is just possible that recourse to The Hague, or to Mr. Rocsevelt, may be averted even at the last moment by the representatives of the allles coming to an understanding with Mr. Bowen himself in regard to the separate treatmert of their claimi 1t is understood that {nstructions to th's end have been reiterated from Berlin and London with the hope of facilitating the procedure. FIGHT FOR CUSTODY OF GIRL Foster Parents Separate, but K Desires to Have the C of Her. | ch TARKIO, Mo., Feb. 6.—(Special.)—One of the most interesting habeas corpus cases ever known in this county has just come to a close. The contest was to determine who should have control of a girl by the rame of Halloway, who has been living with Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gilletta of this place for several years, deserted by her father, whose whereabouts seems to be unknown. A divorce 1s now pending between Mr. nd Mre.
