Mr. Marsh ad- mits that he dontrsicted’ those bills without legal authority, but Jjustifies his course by saying that he foliowed the precedent set by former secretaries of state. Lateér’in the day, however, the carpet sald to have been missing was found In the third story of the capitol bullding. | The text of the committee’s report is: What the B Are. Your committee on accounts and expe tures h: for legislative supplies: Omaha Printing company, bills, agRregating ... Hardy Furniture compa and carpet lining... Harley Drug company 0 00 These bills are all certified to by Secre- tary of State Mareh as being correct and a8 having been. purchased by him for ac- count of . the- legislature. Your committee was unable to find any authority vested in the secrefary of state for making such pur- chases, other than that found in section’ 4 of article i1, chapter’ Ixxxill, of the Com- plled: Statutes, which provides that “he shall turnish the legislature and the officers thereof all necessary fuel and staticnery whan so directed by resolution of the leg- islature, or éither branch thereof.”” Your commlittée catled on’ the secretary of ‘state and foformed him that it was umable to find_other authority,*and as no resolutions had been directed to him authorizing the purchases, he was requested to cite his suthority for contracting the bills above named. In reply he stated that there was no authority .of law—that he. had simply followed the custom of his predecessors. Being dsked i 'he had Invited bide on the supplies ‘contained ‘fn “the -bills, he stated that- he had not. . ,The bill of the Haydy, Furniture coi ia for: 111 iyayds Wilton Velvet. earpet at $1.65 0" Saran” veivet ‘darpet at S0 per yard. 30 yards cafpet lining at 10 cents ‘per AR yabda terey at & conts pef yard. .. Your committee was unable to find any * flew ‘Wilton carpet in thé ‘bullding; When < asked as to thisitem the secretary of state, netwithstanding the fact that he had certi- fied this ill as being correct, sald that no guch carpet had been purchased or was in the bufldfmg; that he had not agreed to pay 'more than $1.30 per yard for any car- ‘ pet. ' As to the other carpets designated as #'velvet,”” your committee has examined them and finds them to be of the poorest quality of velvet and plush carpets. Sam- ples were taken and sent by different par- ties to three firms handling carpets in the city of Lincoln, one of them being the Hardy Furniture company. Each of the firms stated that the samples were of the quality, being poorer than they usually, carried In stock. Being asked to name & price at which they would flurnish same for & residence, a price of 90 cents per twelve 31,681 69 €90 15 Terry was quoted at 30 cents to G5 cents, and carpet lining at 3 cents to 6 cents. . The prices charged by the Omaha Print. 1pg compapy are without doubt excessiv In the various bills are found rubber bands, typewriter ribbons, library paste, shears, penells, wire letter trays, typewriter car- bon paper, pens and one typewriter desk, #0 marked that it has been possible to get prices on the same articles from other fums. Articles so mentioned are charged in, the bills at §709.74. Prices made by another firm to your committee on these same {tems would make ‘them cost but $404.57, and this if bouglt in small quan. | titles. If the sam» rate of overcharge holds §00d for the entire amount of the bills, the charge of $1,681.69 would scale down to $1,000.02. %008 - ' Marsh Makes Statement.

SAILOR Now been handed the following billa | State Journal company, which carporation, When. I went inta office, was enjoying an exglusive 'graft’, which it had had for long years. 1 have &qmpared the jotals of my expenditurés with the bills imeurred by former incumbents of this office and fina that: I, have actually saved the state money and it Ts very humiliating, in face of these clrcumstances, to have this thing sprung in this manner calculated to reflect upon me. In buying supplies for the state 1 have done what I thought was my duty in following precedent set by my predecess sors. I am more than anxlous to have an investigation instituted and I promise to give the committee all the assistance ana information I can. A® to the velvet car- pets, I ordered a certain number or amount of carpet from the Hardy Furniture com- pany and supiosed the bill filled as given. 1t not, then I don’t see that I am to blame.” After the velvet carpet had been found this afternoon in the third story of the cap- itol building, W. L. Nauslor, & janttor ap- pointed by Secretary Marsh, made this statement: “I Rnew the carpet was there and have trequently told Mr. Marsh. He had said it was not needed and that it should be re: turned to the firm from which it was pur- chased. But it was never returned. W. H. Clark, storekeeper during this and the leglslature of 1901, by Mr. Marsh's ap- pointment, is sald to have charge of re. | sorve property such as this carpet. When the carpet was bought it is sald to have been very much needed and thebill for it was O..Kd. by the secretary of state. In the presence of Mr. Marsh, Willam Hardy of the Hardy Furniture comipany made this statement; “We have delivered to the state every item in our bill and for each item the re ulan Lincoln, retall price was charged. It ‘such is found not to be the case we will donate . all this property to the state. 1 have heen given no opportunity of going before this committee, although the come mittee informed me that 1 woflld be giyen such opportunity. ¥ ‘was anxlous, ard am yet, to testify to what I know to be facts. Opponents of the alleged printing trust make the bald assertion that this resolution and the proposed investigation s the work of that combination, which is endeavoring to get even with Secretary Marsh, whom they accuse of going outside the so-called trust in making his purchases. With the expiration of the forty-day lmit for introducing bills, = comparison of tho number introduced at the present session and in its predecessors.shows that this has not been a prolific oe In this respect. In the senate there have been Introduced a total of 294 bill&:as dgainst 309 two years ago, 353 four years ago and 409 in the '05 | session, a less number than any of its im- | mediate predecessors. In the house the number 18 not the smallest of recent ses slous, but only one makes a more econom- ical showing in this regard, and that was the session of two years ago, with a total of 481, against 487 the present jon. In 1899 there were 623 bills iniroduced in the house, 650 in 1897 and 641 in 1895 Enforcing Maximum Rates, Kennedy of Douglas, author of the house resolution providing for the enforcement of the maximum freight rate law, today in- troduced u bill constituting the. governor, commissioner of public lands and the state treasurer a board to bave charge of these rates. They shall raise and lower them as provided by law. At present this func- ticn s vested ‘n no living body. The law vests the duty in the Board of Transporta- tion, which s a misnomer, since this board has ceased to exist. Mr. Kennedy's object is to secure every means and facility of | strengthening his movement to insure the | enforcement of the maximum freight rates, which he contends have pot heen enforced. Booming Port Exposith Governor Geer of Oregon arrived in the city this afternoon. He is here in behalf ‘of the Lewis and Clark exposition. He is "anxious to ‘secure = reasonable appro- priation from the legislature to give Ne- braska & representation in the 'fair. He talked fiwith thirty or forty members to- night apd expressed satistaction later at the sentiment represented by these mem- bers. ? “We appropriated $20,000 for one of the Omaba expositions,. said Governor Geer, *and we think Nebraska might reciprocate in apgropriating $10,000 ‘or $15,000 for our tair. The governor goes to Missourl from here. He: expects to secure a liberal donation from that state. Oregon has appropriated $60,000 for the St. Leuls world's falr. The state of Oregon; the governor says, has set aside §500,000 for the Lewis and Clark exposition, about $1 for every inhabitant, and the city of Portland has appropriated $350,000.

Probably twice as many fami- lies have sickness and distress caused by coffee and the cause not suspected half the time. A woman from Tacoma, Wash. sa; “One of our family had become so ill that the doctor finally pronounced him incurable from enlarged liver. He recommended a sea voyage, which might prelong his life, but sald it was. only a question of time when he would die from the disease. “He was -dreadfully nervous,.thin, could not sleep at night, lost flesh and sbrength dally and everything he ate or drank soured on his stomach. -~ He was so weak and faint he could hardly walk about. “I finally came to the conclusion that coffee made the myschief, so teok coffee awAy from him altogether and next mern- ing gave him Postum Food Coffee. steadily began to get better snd has had a sour stomach from that time. He now sleeps all night, where he used to suffer the agonies of death. He has galned over 20 pounds and is well and strong. “My lttle boy was given coffee at an early age and he began to have spells of sick- ness at times. 1 did not suspect the trouble until my expgrience with Postum opened my eyes then I took coffee away from him and gave him Postum steadily. If you should see him now and see how well and strong he is, you would not be- leve it was the same puny boy he was when he was drinking coffee. “An acqualntance of ours carried Postum with him to the gold flelds of Alaska. He says he met some men up there who had run out of Postum and could not drink cof- fee. They offered him as high as twenty dollars a pound for the Postum. He sald it was worth forty dollars a pound to him, for it gave him strength te endure the bardships and that he would not part with 1t at any price until he could get more. “Now about my own case. I was a slek, ‘nervous woman and did not suspect it was coffee, but from the experience I had ined about two years ago I quit coffee and took up Postum Food Coffee. My ap- petite improved. I can eat ‘anything, have no indigestion and have gained about forty pounds in the two years. “I know of & man whose eyes were 80 af fected by coffee drinking that he was going blind. The doctor suspected coffee to be the trouble and ordered him to quit snd take on Postum Food Coffee. The change produced a great change In his eyes. He gradually got better and has now left off his glasses altogetber. He would have been stome blind if he had not quit coffes and taken up Postum.” Name givea by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. - of tecords, docaments and historlc material from the various departments of atat state (nstitutions, court houses, city halls and other public_hyildings and departments in_the state of Nebraska. 8.

The first fwo measures on general file were H. R. 1 and“H. R. 2, both ‘of which were, at the authors’ requests, phsscd for the day. Kennedy of ‘Dodglas attacked H. R. 44, by Shelly of Douglas, an electiofi bill, as a measure designed to disfranchire the in- | mates of the Sctiool for the Deaf and Dumb at Omaha, mokt of whom are demoorate. Shelly resented this charge in nis defense of ‘the bill, but the measure was recom- mitted for indefinite postponement. A spiritéd debate énsued on a bill by Nel- son of Douglas between Nelsoh and Loomis of Dodgo. ThE bill comipels a mortgagee appealing from a degree of foreclosure by a lower gourt to furnish bond for the rent of the land pending the continudnce of the detion in the appellate court. Loomis attacked the bill ms & measure calculated to work serious hardship upon property ownerd‘and should not be allowed to pass.

PHILADELPHIA, March 6—A. general strike against the American Bridge com- pany has been called hy the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iran Workers. This order includes all canstruc- tion ‘work in the hande of the company throughout the United States and Canada and involves thousands of men in. all sec- tions. When the order was réceived by House- smith and Bridges union No. 3 of this city strikes were called on all operations where American Bridge. company iron was used in construction, though the erecting con- tracts were. In. the hapde of general oun- tractors, who purchased the iron from tho ‘American Bridge company. " Men Are Ordered Out. Frank Buchanan, president of the inter- national union, and another member of. the exccutive.board, came to this city. Aa the result of & conference between represent tives of several contractors and the bus ness agents of the local union, the m were ordered baek 1o wark today onm the operations In this eity not being erected by the American Bridge qompany. - The American Bridge company is sald to have large construetion contracts at many points. If Is stated hore that in New York 1,600 men are idle, while Pittsburg, Albany, Buffalo and St. Louls are sald to' he seri- ously affected.) The union has taken steps ta prevent, It possible the sublctting of construction con- tracts. g An o In New Holsting r of the union sald today: ork the company locked out the Engineers’ union. ' That action forced between 400 and 50 of our ‘men int idleness. It was therefore thought that ii the fight between us was to be forced by them It might as well comé now. The Nev/ York union demands 3450 per May 1, and that is below ti [ manded by the bricklayers’ unlon Other causes for the strike are sald to be the effort of the American Bridge company to reduce the number in gangs of riveters who operate pneumatic hammers gnd tha employment of laborers on woik which the bridgemen clalm they should perform. C Strike Sympathy Dispute. NEW YORK, March 6.—An efficial of the | American Bridge company said today The strike has been called without our. recelving _any prior notice of trouble. 8o far as wé know the strike 18 in sympathy with the holsting engiueers, and. reports from our foremen through the country show thdt everything is tied up every- where in the country. We have always lived up t ments with the men in regard to the em- ployment of unlon mien, but tha unions ave falled to supply us with union men. he question for us to decide now fis whether tp employ nonunion men o. stop work ) The organization of the iron manufactur- ers does not contemplate any action againrt the interests of the men. It does not in- tend to ¢ui wages or do anything until driven to some action by the men them- selves. . our agree- PROGRAM Goeilian -Piano- Player- Rectial BY MR. PHILIP QAHM.
