The others ve knew nothing of.” Notwithstanding the fact that there is no' demand for anything like near all the employes on the pay rolls, another new one was put ou today.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 18.—(Spectal.)—The special telephone Investigating committee finally made ite report today. But instead of one, there were two reports and the prospects are good for another one tomor- row. With the report signed by the en- tire committee was a supplementary minor- ity report signed by Howell and Warner. This minority report recommends that leg- ialation” b’ eadeted ‘tha WAL calise, & ‘fhc duction. of telephone rates fn Omaha on business 'phones of 25 per cent and on res- jdence 'phones of 33 1-3 per cent. These two also gave their reasons for believing that such a reduction would still leave the telephone company a fair per cent interest on its nvestments. A member of the ma. Jority of the committee who had not known the minority would bring in a report, stated that tomorrow the majority would bring in a report saying that the deductions made by the minority were not in accordance with the testimony taken. The committee agreed, on some of the findings and recommendations. The:report contains much of the testimony taken and a comparison of the rates charged in nearly every town in the state. Following s a eummary of the findings and recommenda- tions of the committee: Summary ot Report, First, we find from the évidénce thaf the cost of construction varies so much in ferent localities and depends s vauch the materfal '\zaéa‘\htfimr that it is im. lbhz'w pay just what ,Q;:- otpl g f;r ‘phane, per line or per m e, fhe telephone business in Mebra 1s %n %u-d &t present by the Nebuask: léphonc compapy, and ut 200 nies known'as independ: e Bell. company havii exchanges and about 15,000 miles of toll line, and the independent 'companies ownin, about 100 exchanges and 5,00 miles of toll lines.

LINCOLN, March 18.—(8pecial.)—The house convened at 9 o'clock this morning and almost immed/ately went into commit- tee of the whole. Sweezy of Adams having been given the floor at the session last night to speak for his amendment to the revenue bill, called up the amendment apd made this brief defense: Mr. Chairman: I am pleased to thank the geptlemen of the Douglas county dele- gatlon, the gentlemen from Burt, the gen- tlemen from Dodge, the gentlemén from Cass and all the gentlemen of tbia house who so very courteously granted me un- limited time to continue this debate, And to extendggly .ymrr."" to those few of my misguided friends who under the bewitching Influence of the railroad lobby's self-appointed guardian nniela of this legls- lature perhaps thought they were dolng ir qulv by . attempting to enforce the ag rule. %o mow, in ‘View of the fact that our time s limited, thut we have & vast amount of ‘mw&lnldybutllll‘le 8 llo l'.I;la-l'mlct lnd‘l having alrea Jfully explaing amend- ment to séetion 89, showing ym‘&%n ‘while'| t 48 not in_and of itself a complete taxing ‘measure, still it 18 & necessaty part of the | revenue law for the direction of our state | board in properly arriving dt the true value of a rallroad franchise. I claim it unwise to occupy your attention further and there- fore desire a vote upon the amendment. Vote Down Amendment. The amendment, which had been changed in form, went to a viva yoce vote and was lost. . " Mikesell of Dixon offered an ‘amendment to ithe personal property schedulé, so as to exempt live stock under six months old from taxation. This led to an amend- ment by Sears of Burt to strike out the whole schedule and leave the listing of this property to the Staté Board of Equa’~ ization. Many members urged that the schedulo be left intact, contending that it would be better than letting a few men phones for the city appears to be $.20 per month. The average rental for residence hones is about $3.33 per month. The rates tween those two extreme charges are so varied that the comm“'ef ‘will not mention all of them in this report. No testimony relative to the rates in the city of Lincoln was taken, but in all of the cities and towns throughout the state where the Bell Telaphone company has ex- changes installed the committee found the rates vary from 43 to $4 per month for-full metallic circult business phones for mames that are disclosed by the auditor's books. Yet Speaker Mockett thinks this number should not be charged up to his county. He thinks it is possible that some of them, though from Lancaster county, ‘were recommended by and charged to out- #ide members. ‘Will Be Expensive. Except in a few cases the employes of the house are pald $3 a day. The pages get $1.60 and the chief clerk's staff $4. It has pecurred to the flnance, ways and means Committes that at these rates twenty or twenty-five extra employes would pull up the incidental expense fund considerably and therefore the suggestion of makiag some sort of & reckoning is being seriously entertained.

The following minority report was signed by Senators Warner and Howell 1. A reasonable deduction of-all the evi- dence 1s that the Omaha telephone ex- change is paying about-19.4 per cent upon the investment therein, 2. That in agdition to this 19.4 per cent profit, the Omaha eXchange is paying a net royalty to the American Telephone and Telephone company of about 17 per cent upon the investment in sald exchange, 3. Thercfore, that the total met profit which may be properly deemed as earned by the Omaha exchange 1s about 21 per cent on the investment. 4 It appears further that the Nebraska Telephone company, can make an average reduction of about 3 per cent of its rentals charged in the ci.y of Omaha and still maintain its property and pay a 6 per cent dividend upon the {nvestment therein. 6. Therefore, we would recommend such legislation as' would tend directly or jndi- rectly to reduce telephone rentals in' the city of Omaha to an average of about 25 per cent of the present rate. 7. The reduction of rental telephones should be greas case of business telephones, and hence we woulg susgest that the réduction in the case ©f business telephone rentals be made 20 per cent and residence telephone rentals 33% per cent, as upon this basis resultant average reduction will be about 24 per cent, Committee Kills B In the meantime while tho telephone committee is wrangling'about. its report, the sifting committee has voted not to re- port for the general file 8, F. 234, the tele- phone rate bill by Howell of Douglas.

It seemed to be the tarmers who were satisfied with the sched- ule. . Sears of Burt, Douglas of Rock, Sweezy of Adams, all lawyers, wanted it changed. Ten Eyck of Douglas was op- posed to change. Among who spoke against it were Mendenhall of Jefterson, Hoy of Polk, Dobry of Colfax and Weborg of Thurston. The farmers argued that they know what this schedule will do, but don't kpow what the state board will do. Smith of Saline, a farmer, here arose to protest against the schedule. Hanna of Cherry, Christy of Nemaha and Rouse of Hall, farmers, wanted the schedule changed. Many other farmers divided on the question. Thompson of Merrick id the state board already has authority to list prop- erty and fhat it this schedule was stricken out it would add nothing to its power. Nelson of Douglas thought this schedule tavored the Standard Oil company. The Sears amendment was adopted by & vote of 56 to 24. Loomis of Dodge offered an amendment to pay assessors in counttes between 10,000 "and 20,000 population $600 a yed~; 20,000 to 30,000, $700; and 30,000 to 50,000, $500. It was adopted.

Sometimes a physiclan who has exhausted medical skill on his own case finds that he has to look to pure food to ¢ure Wim by its simple and homely yet natural and sclentific prineiples. A well known physician and surgeon of Crowley, La., has spent a great many years in this profession. “The services of my Mfe-time” ‘he says, “have beén to try to better mankind; to help them preserve health when in possession of it and to help them to regain it when lost. So i fs with great pleasure I recall my first Introduction to Grape-Nuts. I had never investigated the food until T came to use it fn my own case. 1 had suffered all that a man can suffer from dyspepsia, had trted to heal myselt and had had the services of many other prominent physicians. Then I clutched at Grape-Nuts as a drowning man clutches at & straw and to my great as- tonishment and gratification 1 found that I bad discovered something besides a broken reed to lean upon, for the food began to recuperate me immediately and it has now entirely cured me to such an extent that I have returned to my old habit of eating everything that I desire and can do so without distress. ’ “And I have not only found a good friena in sickness, but a most deliclous dish as well. It 1s the most nutritious article of diet I have ever found and I motice its splendid effects more particularly at night time, for a saucer of Grape-Nuts and milk is always followed by a most refreshing sleép and perfect awakening.

At this time Burgess of Lancaster sprung the anticipated amendment to 12t the street railways, gas, water works and electric panies in under section 76, having their earnings taxed as franchise, as in the caso qf the telephone, telegraph, express and pipe iine companies. This precipitated a spirited fight. Bur- gees, Gilbert of Douglas and Spurlock of Cass ‘spoke for the amendment, while Thompson of Merrick, Kennedy of Douglas, Douglas of Rock and Sears of Burt lined up against it, and the proposition was de- feated by a vote of 66 to 23 The vote on roll call was: Afrmative: Belden, B Cropsey Cravens, Delea- Dernter, o Robbins, Roberts, Shinstock, Smith, Spier, Spuriock, Mr. Speaker—23, Hanoa, Holifet Junkin Koettar, MeClay, Mangold, Tteed, Ribbie, Negatlve: Anderson(K'r'ny), Atwood, Racon, Bartoo, Meradith, Mikesell Nelson (Douglas), Nelson (Plerce), Harmo Harrisor Hathorn, Herron, Hogrete, Hoy, Hunter, Jahnol, ohnzon, Jones(Richardson) 8he Jouvenat, Kaveny Kennedy, Kerris, Dobry.

Never Stand for o a and Stre F WASHINGTON, March 18—The race | question was discussed in the senate today, Mr. Money bringing the matter up in speak- ing on the president’'s action in closing the Indianola postofice. In the course of his remarks he declared that Mr. Roosevelt was not the president of the United States but the president of the “black belt.” “The department has made the people of the south hate the administration,” he said. “The people of the south hoped Mr. Roose- velt would be an American president, but instead he is president of the black belt. “His appointments had caused general disgust. He had raised the question of social equality of the negro.” Mr. Money sald recent appointments have Tevived the race question. The south has tolerated negro officials, but does not want any more of them. “This is a white man's country and government.”” There was a feeling in the south, he said, that no col- ored man should hold office. It was the inherent and constitutional right of a great community, he declared, to have its mail handled fegularly. Letters which were addressed to important county officers residing at Indianola had been sent to Greenville, and thus an unwarrantable interference with the liberty and rights of the people had been perpetrated. It it was intended to punish the people of Indianola the punishment had gone far enough. The department had shown to the | world its authority and nobody had dis- | puted it. Now it was time for the post- master general to do all he could to heal the breach.

There had been mno objection in the south to a colored man working and none had been killed for so doing, as was the case in Illinols. The feeling which obe tained in the south was that if a white man 414 not think himself soclally better than the negro he was not half as good. In making appointments the president should consider conditions. Appointing negroes to office in the south was most obmoxious and repugnant to that section. It was impossible for anyone raised morth of Mason and Dixon's l'ne to know any- thing about the negro. McEnery Attacks Cuban Treaty. At 1:17 the senate went into executive session and shortly after took up the Cuban reciproeity treaty. - Mr. McEnery took the floor in opposition. He contended that the treaty was in the interest of the sugar trust and eald its ratification would be a direct blow at the sugar interests of the-country. The pres- ent tariff had greatly stimulated the in- Qustry and he predicted that if it continued in force the time would come when the United States would produce not only sufi- clent sugar for its own wants, but would have some left for export besides. In this connection he asserted that half the states of the union were capable of producing beet sugar at a profit. The ad- mission of Cuban sugar at reduced rates would prove a severe blow to the growers of sugar beets and to the cane sugar pro- Qucers of Louisiana and Texas.

Senator Spooner sharply criticised Mr. Newlands' polley of aunexation Senator Teller repeated his declaration that the treaty was intended to benefit the sugar trust and calculated to do injury to the sugar interests of the United States.
