Building, Corner Sixteentb and Douglas Sts that the pardon was exccuted In contra- vention of the law re iring the publica- tion of notices of intention two weeks prior to the pardon—these facts are regarded as pretty substantial grounds for action Lawyers in the house have gone 8o far as to say that Bartley could easily be re- turned to the penitentiary in the light of these facts. Legislative Gossip. Bggenburger of Fillmore is going about the legislative halls on a still hunt for the “fellow that looks like me.” Eggen- burger is a fusionist and was meuticned with those of the minority who were ab- sent from their places in the house last Friday when the Caldwell and Thompson amendments to sectious 87 and 89 of the revenue bill were voted on. Mr. Eggen- burger denles that he was absent, but says he “‘was in his seat and voting." The appropriation biils, according to pres- ent plans, will be acied on by the house when the revenue bill is out of the way. It begins to look as If this would not be before the last of the week, it that early. Of course It capnot yet be determined what will be the result of the Lancaster county delegation’s effort to insort in the general appropriation bill that little $50,~ 900 item for the purchase of the Conserva- tory of Music, to be conducted under the auspices of the State university, but from the success that delegation has bad in eftecting changes to its advantage in the salaries appropriation bill, it might be supposed the $50,000 bagatelle will be slip- ped fn. The salaries appropriation bill was reported back to the nouse today by the finance, ways and means committee for passage, amended so as to raise the salaries of two employes of as many Lincoln in< stitutions. Representative Koetter of Douglas tommonly looked upon as the friend and exponent of organized labor in the house; In fact, Mr. Koetter has been ‘‘charged up” to organized labor. But organized labor does not seem quite willing to “stand for” the account. Since certain of Mr. Koet- ter's official acts, particularly that in voting against the Caldwell amendment to the revenue bill, commonly endorsed by or- ganized labor, this element has taken oce slon to express its disapproval of bhaving Mr. Koetter “charged up” to it. A repre- eentafive—officlal representative, it may, be {d—of organized labor this morning sal “We do not claim Mr. Koetter as our cfi- clal representative. 1 feel quite certain ho was neither nominated nor elected by virtue of organized labor's support. True, he carries a card, but sometimes even cards do not entitle a man to a front seat in the councils of organized labor. Ac- tions speak louder than all the cards in the country. Had we been choosing a representative we would not have selected Mr. Koetter.” Railronds Win In Senate, The senate has been put to the test and has lined up in favor of the railroads, shirking taxation for municipal purposes. The test came on 8. F. 133, by Pemberton of Gage, providing for the election of a tax commissioner in eities of from 5,000 to 25,- 000 inhabitants, and defining his duties. When the bill came up for discussion in the committee of the whole it had tacked onto it an amendment that the commis- sioner .should ure the assessment returned by the State Board of Equalization on rail- road terminal property. The bill ¥as then ordered engrossed for third reading. Sen- ator Pemberton himself offered the amend- ment. When asked his reasons for recom- mending the amendment, Senator Pember- ton said he did it because he wanted the bill to pass the house, and it would take the amendment to do this. HOUSE HEARS COMMITTEES Revenue Bill Lald Over in Afternoon and Taken Up at Night Sey (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 16.—(Special.)—On con- vening .at 2:30 this afternoon the house entered, on committee reports, deferring turther action on the revenue bill as a spe- clal order untll the night session.

The committee on soldiers' homes re- ported for indefinite postponement H. &. 362, by Detrick of York, providing for the establishment at Lincoln of a home for veterans of the civil and Spanish and Phillipine wars, their wives and mothers. Two pure food bills, H. R. 214 and H. R. 225, by Christy of Nemaha and Ferrar of Hall respectively, were recommended for passage by the committee on agricul- ture. Provision was made on motion ot Sears of Burt for tacking on an emergency clause to the bill repealing the wolf bounty law. Sears sid this would mean a saving to tho stato of at least $5,000. At 4:15 the house took & recess until 7:30. when the revenue bill will be taken up as a special order. At 7:30 the night session convened. On motion of Robbins of Gage, H. R. 70, the Ramsey clevator bill, was made a speclal order for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. A motion by Sweezy of Adams to employ an officlal stenographer because he claimed the newspapers misquoted members, was tabled. He based his’grievance on re- ports of his attitude on the railroad section of the revenue bill. Douglas, Good, Wil- son and Thompson sbjected to the motinn. Wilson thought if a member was too thin- ekinned to stand criticism he ought to thicken his skin. Thompson said the re- porters were entitled to commiseration ow- ing to the poor accoustics of the hall. Jones of Otoe took occasion to say he had been seriously misquoted by the.one paper, but he did mot approve of Sweezy's mo- tion. Deles Dernier of Cass moved to ta- ble Sweezy's motion. 2 Sweezy offered this amendment: ““That In determining the value of prop- erty and franchiees of any such railroad company or corporation the State Board of Equalization and Assessment shall add the market or actual value of its stocks, and represented by its bonds and mortgage ‘int’| debtedness and deduct therefrom the valug of its tangible property outside of Its right of way, which may be locally assessed. Mr. fweezy sald the differemce between his and the Caldwell amendment was that his provided for taxing rallroads on their tangible property where they had no stocks and bonds, while the Caldwell amendment omitted this provision. He went on to ex- plain that the Kansas City & Omaha road, with 194 miles, had no stocks and bonds, and would therefore under the Caldwell amendment, escape taxation. Caldwell is favorable to Sweezy's amendment. An amendment by Good of Nemaha was carried removing the age tax limit from stock. At 10 o'clock the house adjourned.

HARRIMAN OUTWITS KEENE (Continued from First Page.) where the stock was coming from. He thought that some person was selling short, and he thought that it would be Interest- ing to squeeze that person. It was tho mistake of Mr. Keene's lifetime. The per- fon in the question was E. H. Harriman, a man who had in his treasury more South- ern Pacifin stock than even Mr. Keene and his powerful pool would care to buy, and a person moraover who Hf control of Southern Pacific once passed out of his hands could turn around and make Southern Paclfic worth less than $25 per share. Keene's Weak Point. It was never a part of Mr. Harriman's plan to let Southern Pacific pass out ot {his hands. He know, what Mr. Keene did not know, namely that there was coming on the street a period of money stringency. He knew that during such a perlod thou- sands of shares of Southern Pacific would be thrown into the street and the buyers for this stock would be few and far be- tween. He knew that he could stay short of the market until this time came and buy at bargaln prices the stock that he had already sold to Mr, Keene and his friends. Therefore he sold and sold heavily. Mr. Keene did not take the members ot the pool fully into his confidence. They had surrendered all discretion in the matter of the pool stock into Mr. Keene's hands. They were absolutely guided by his word. He told them to wait. and they walted—and are waiting still. [ Tight money came. It swept upon tha street suddenly. Prices crumbled. Stock values dwindled rapidly. All the work ot Mr. Gates' six months' campaign was un- done in three short weeks. Thousands of men and women all over England, Gers many, United States and Canada lost in those threc weeks every cent that they had been induced to put into the Wall strect market. Southern Pacific was as bad as any other stock on the list. It tumblea rapidly. From 81 it dropped to below 60. There it steadled. Mr. B, H. Harriman covered his shorts. He took his time about it. He knew perfectly well that the poot stock cost Mr. Keene and his friends about $70 per share, and that they would not sell it below that pricc. He was careful to see that his buying did not bring it up to that price. It Is believed that he covered his shorts below 63. When he had them covered the stock still looked so cheap that he considered it a bargain and he kept on buying, so that befere the stock reached 65 he had added 150,000 to the stock already in the treasury of Union Pacific and had made the control of the road safe beyond a doubt. Harriman in Control. Mr. Harriman then announced through his bankers that he had made this purchase of Southern Pacific stock, and that anyone who wanted control of Southern Pacific would have to buy it from E. H. Harriman. It Wa3 & bad day for the pool. Will street began to realize that Harriman ‘had sold Keene to a standstill. The stock went down Hgain Rumors bégan to spread that the Southern Paclfic pool had gone to pleces. Mr. Keene vigorously denfed It, The street took this as a good reason for belleving that it was so and kept on belleving that it'was so until a couple of weeks ago. . Since then events have crowded on one another in the history of Southern Pacific pool. On March § it leaked out that Ed- ward Lauterbach had served papers on Alexander Millar, secretary of the Union Pacific, and then immediately withdrawn the papers. Those papers were an injunc- tion to restrain Union Pacific from voting the 900,000 shares of Southern Pacific stock which were held In its treasury at the an- nual meeting on April $. Rumors flew thick and fast. It was stated, and it has since been corroborated that Messrs. Keeno and Harriman had, figuratively speaking, come to blows. Mr. Keene had accused Mr. Harriman of bad faith in selling stock to the pool, and in refusing to help the pool out by declaring the dividend. Mr. Har- riman promptly told Mr. Keene that South- ern Pacific belonged to Unfon Pacific and to Mr. Harriman, and that those two Interests would do with it whatever they thought fit. On March 11 Mr. Keene sent out his call for proxies. In it he declared that Mr. Harriman and the Union Pacific manage- ment were practically robbing the stock- holders of Southern Pacific. He declared that Union Pacific inteaded to use the earn- ings of the other road to build up the Central Pacif~ branch, and then finally to take over Central Pacific and make it a part of Union Pacific, leaving the rest of the Southern Pacific system out in the coll. The call for proxies was a mass of figures, and if it is true that figures never lle, Union Pacific is a convicted thief. May Come Out in Court, The sequel to this remarkeg fight will be found In the report of the annual meet- 1ng of April 8, and probably in the records of the law courts after that date. The Southern Pacific pool will stand together, They do not hope, even in their wildest moments, to wrest control of Southern Pa- cific from the Harriman grasp. They do hope to make such a protest that Union Pacific and Mr. Harriman will be shamed into the payment of a dividend on South- ern Pacific. If all else fails they are un- doubted}y willlng to carry the matter into the courts on the ground that the earn- ings of Southern Pacific are being diverted to the bemefit of an alien road, mamely, Union Pacific. Meantime, Mr. Harriman ts cool and confident. He walved aside all questions relative to Southern Pacific. His bankers say the matter is a joke. Mr Harriman and Union Pacific can afford to laugh. On the selling short of 100,000 shares at 80 and the coverizg of it at 60 Mr. Harriman cleared §2,000000. Inciden- tally, he bought 150 000 shares fo, ¢2,000,- 000 which he-can make worth $15,000,000 by simply calling the directors together and telling them to declare a dividend. It is a joke, Everyone in Wall street says so, ex- cept the members of the Southern Pacific e THE PURE GRAIN COFFEE The coffee habit is quickly over- come by those who let Grain-O take its place. 1f properly made it tastes like the best of coffee.

REFUS® T0 ALTER TREATY Senators Vote Down All Amendments to Oanal Protocol. SIX SOLID HOURS SPENT IN WORK Chiet Debate Centers Round Right of America to Defend Waterway, but Colombian Powers Are Not Intringed. WASHINGTON, March 16.—The senate spent six solld hours in executive session today voting on amendments to the Panama canal treaty. The greater part of the debate centered ‘round the American defense of the canal, the demoucrats contending that the United States should be given the Initiative in that respect, and the republicans urging that the Interests of the country are suf- ficiently safeguarded by the treaty as it stands. A substitute for the provision placing the defense of the canal primarily in the hands of Colombia resulted in a test Vote and ‘the democrats cast a solid vote in sup- port of the amendment, the republicans voting as solidly against it. The vote was 24 for to 46 against. During the day Semator Morgan offersd a number of his amendments, but none of them received more than ten or twelve votes. The treaty will be ratified tomor- row by a large majority and without amend- ment, as on the final ballot many of the democrats will vote for it. Before the executive session commenced Levi Ankeny of Washington was escorted to the desk by Mr. Foster, his colleague, and sworn in. No legislative business of any kind was transacted. Both Parties Fully Represented. Immediately after the doors had been closed the order for.the presentation of amendments went into effect. There wae quite a large attendance of semators, both political parties having used every effort to secure full representation so as to make the best showing mn case of a division on party lines. Consequently the roll calls of the day were well responded to and the vote cast was larger than expected. The first vote was taken about forty minutes after the doors were closed, com- ing on an amendment suggested by Senator Pettus, providing that the treaty should not go into effect until approved by con- gress. This amendment was voted down by a large majority, all the republicans and some of the democrats recording themselves against it, The amendment was in the language of the one recommended by the committee on foreign relations to be added to the, Cuban reciprocity treaty. In offering it Mr. Pet- tus claimed that the provisions of the treaty for the acquisition of the canal zone do not correspond with the provisions of the law under which the treaty was made. In the law the provision is for the owner- ship of the zone, while the treaty pro- vides for a lease to be renewed perpetually. He contended that under the circumstances the treaty was without authority and there- fore not binding without further legisla- tlon. The vote resulted 80 for, $0 agalnst. Following this Senator Morgan offered a number of amendments, 6f which he had given notiee, but they were passed upon adversely and without roll calls. Onme of these was a declaration that nothing con- tained in the treaty should be construel bs invalidating the Spoonmer act. Another provided for the submission of the treaty to the French government as a party inter- ested. od His other ameéndments provided for the reversion of the railroud: lands outside of the zome to.(Colombia cand confirmed Co- lombia’s reservation of.shares {n the new Pacama Canal company in accordance with the contract of 1890. At one time the senate presented a some- what vacant eppearance, which caused Mr. Morgan to make the point of no quorum, with the result that a large number of senators were called into the chamber. Sixty-nine answered to their names and business proceeded. The seccd roll call of the day was on an amendment offered by Senator Morgan, pro= viding for the acquisition of the canal zone in perpetuity and not by lease to be renewed after ninety-mine years. It was voted down. Dise The senate then took up Senator Bacon's amendment for absolute control by the United States, and Mr. Bacon addressed the senate in support of it. He was followed by other democratic sen- ators, all favoring the Bacon amendment. ‘The democrats expressed the opinion that before its completion the canal will cost not less than $300,000,000, and declared that 80 vast a sum should not be spent without providing for the absolute and uncondi- tional right to police, control and defend the canal, They contended that while both political parties had adopted declarations favorable to an isthmian canal, every declaration bad had coupled with it the condition that the canal should be under American con. trol. The republican senators warmly defended the treaty as it stands, contending that it affords ample protection to American in- terests. With a canal bullt by the United States and under its control, they said, Colombla would be compelled to defend it, but if that country should find itself In- capable of performing the task, then, under the terms of the treaty, it would be com- pelled to call on the United States for as- sistance. Moreover, in case of emergency, the United States could go to the defense of the canal without a call from Colombla. This provision, it was asserted, furnished all the guarantees of American protection that could be reasonable demanded. They claimed that there could be no excuse for golng into the canal zone with American troops except in case of emergency. During the discussion some of the Dem- ocratic senators called attention to the fn- stability of the South and Central Ameri- can republics and urged that on this ac- count it would be necessary for the United States to be constantly on the spot with its means of protection. The republicans replied that the people of aM parties in the South and Central American countries have such great respect for the United States as to Ipsure the protectivn of its property, whatever the party in power. The Bacon amendment was lost, 46 to 24, a strict party vote. Senator Teller théreypon offered an amendment retaining the language of artl- cle 23 as It stands, except the words “with the consent of Colombfa,” in the provisions permitting the intervention of the United States iu case Colombly should prove un- equal to the task of deferding the canal, but it lkewise was voted down, 46 to 24 The senate then, at 6:05, adjourned until tomorrow.
