Tothls ol H,005,128 2,786, Legislature Adjourns April One. The sengte refused to adopt the commit- tee report to adjourn March 30 and this morning the committee was requested to agree upon another date which was fixed as April 1. This wag reported back to both houses late this afterncon and adopted. No hour was set. April 1 Is lable to be a Sunday Base Hall Dead Again. mighty long day. Omaha - gets no Suriday. base ball. The statesmen who put that Sunday law on the statute books put it there to stay, insofar as this legislature is concerned. Judge Shoemaker's bijl 0 permit Omaha to play Sunday ball if a majority of the people voted . in the. afirmative on the question, was kiligd in the committee of the whole of the house. It got,to first base and that was all. Taylor of York told the house that the bill was unconstitutional.” That & oriminal law could not be set aside for Omaha and made to agply to other parts of the state. Kelley wanted to know the feason for wasting time on the measure if that was the case. “Why not let IT ;1 ] the court knock it out i 86 New Patterns and Colorings t 3500 s750 $8.50, wis-1317 Douglas blreel Omaha--Neb. end For New Illust IS WARD then?" he said. Judge Shiemaker, who has about re- covered from the excitement of two days when he thought a bear had him, spoke in eloquent terms of the beauties of Sunday base ball, but he was still too weak to carry the measure through tie committee. Tarns Down Proposed Office. The house got on a rampage this after- noon and killed a bill which provided for another officer to be appointed by the gov- ernor. This was H. R. 38, by Bowman, which provided for the appointment of a drug commissioner. It was considered along with 8. F. 200, which amended the pure food aid dairy laws to license testers of cream, and which created an assistant at $L600 w year, to the food commissioner. It also provided for a change in the silze of the bottles in which cream is tested. The house cut out the assistant in the senate bill and recommended that for passige. Graff and Clark Richardson opposed the new deputy Inspector and the house agreed to kill the Dill. What effect this will have on the gov- ernor remains to be see. The governor needed this new place for a faithful mem- ber of democracy, and it is probable the brave members of the house will suffer for their unusual action. But after it had done this plece of kill- ing the house teurned right around and created the office of state fire warden This bill, H. R. 72, by Brown of Lancaster, The Duplex Plan Two Pairs Knickers with each and every Boy’s Suit That’s OUR idea! Shows fore-thought, too, doesn’t it? Basic statistics compiled by ourselves show that every boy ~—if he is in good health-—wears out TWO pairs of trousers while his COAT remains ‘‘good as new.”’ In this ad we tell only of our “Duplex’ plan—the story about that gorgeous spring ex- hibit of boys’ suits is told at our store. N PEOPLES = 4TTORN L rated Spring Catalo provided for the governor to appoint a fire warden, who shall receive $2,00 a year, and have two mssistants at $1,600 a year, to look up cases of arson and look after losses by fire. The bill was amended to strike from its provisions the farm mu- tuals and these companies therefore will have nothing to do with the law If en- acted. The officers created are to be pald by the Insurance companies. Will Shorten Bryan's Speeches. One of Mr. Bryan's bug-a-boos got a side swipe this afternoon and probably it cannot be used in any more compaigns to trighiten the people. The house dld this when it recommended for passage H. R. 513, by Snyder of Harlan. The bill renders vold all contracts made eontingent upon the outcome of an election. If the bill goes through and a farmer agrees to buy an automobile providing Mr. Bryan Is elected to the senate, the contract is void. Or if the buying is cintingent upon Mr. Bryan being defeated. If the bill becomes a law it will take fifteen minutes out of some of Mr. Bryan's campaign speeches. Conforms to National Law. H. R. 48, by Smith of Cuss, amending the pure food law, was amended In the Mouse in the committee of the whole this after- noon and recommended for passage. The amendment adopted conforms to the na- tional pure food law relating to the brand- ing of the net weight on packages. Mobre of Red Willow county -objected to the bill ‘as amended and moved it be n- definitely postponed, but § members vot- ing in favor of it being recommended for passage. In his talk for the bill Clark of -Richard- #on sald it should be unnece ry for any- one to talk for the bill, but it should ap- peal to the common sense of every person as being right and proper. The amendment was made needssary be- cause of the supposed ambiguity in the old law. Former Food Commissioner Johnson interpreted the old law to mean that all packages of food should be stamped with the net weight. Because of this one firm quit selling its products in Nebraska. Later 4 ruling was made by the state depart- :manl that the packages could be stamped {with a sliding scale. As a result of this | there are packages of f0od being sold now stamped upon which are the words, “Net welght from fourteen to twenty ounces.” “Should the bill pass as it has been | amended,” sald Food Commissioner Mains, “I shall at once fssue an order for persons | using the net weight stamp to have: the correct welght upon their wares. I will not permit the package to bear the label net welght from four to six ounces or anything like that. Packages having the label must state the correct weight.” P Firemen's B The senate advanced to third’ reading 8. F. 408, the blll introduced by request of | the governor correcting the defect in the | Omaha charter by which salaries of fir | men and policemen were raised. The meas- | ure was passed at the same time. While | there has been numerous threats by Lan- | caster men that this provision would be | held up because of the defeat of the Lin- coln charter bill, they did not materialize {1 the senate. Omaha Opposes Donohoe Bill. { Douglas county senators remals n opposition to the Donohoe bill, 8.

This is: the measuro Thro slo Iimn Senator Howell declared the corpora- (0] tion men wanted passed and in reply to which assertion Senator Donohioe sald no corporation man had come to see him about. Senator Howell caused to be inserted in the record as an explanation of his vote and editorial from an Omaha demo-pop paper strongly opposing the bill. pared. This is the sitieth day In the senate. The house. went out from under pay three days ago. The appropriation bills and the claims bills are nearly through the hands of the senate committees and the members will ‘take ‘hem up soon In committee’ of the whole. Captain Murfin’s Claim Allowed. The clalm of Captain E. J. Murfin for $1,500 as attorney for Land Commissioner Folmer in fighting the Boyd county land cases, having passed the house, has been agreed to by the senate committes on clalms. A bill allowing him $2,600 was once passed by the legislature and vetoed by Governor Mickey. He then filed the elaim In the present amount. The senate claims committee has agreed to give the Peru dis- coverers of coal the $4,000 reward allowed by the state under statute. Twe Views on Ple. Graff of Cuming, who during the session has been more of a legislator than a party man, has enough pje. This morning when the Kelley bill appropriating $100,00 for another agricultural farm in Western Ne- bragka was voted on, Graff explained his vote as follows: ‘Ple, pie, too mueh ple, 1 therefore vote no. Graff," Bowman of Nuckolls, who has also shown symptoms of being a good legislator rather than a democrat, to be lead around by the nose handed up this explanation: “Belleving that through the misrepresen- tation of the State Journal and Omaha Bee, by which they seek to have us overlook and leave a few offices by which they can get & few In two years, I vote yes." In securing the ovtes necessary to pass this bill in the house Kelley of Furnas won a splendid victory over his democratic colleagues. When he first Introduced the measure it called for anly $75,000. The house killed that bill promptly. Kelley came back with a raise of $5,00 and after a month of dickering the house lald down and Kelley got the pot. But the fight is not ended vet by any means. Kelley used the argument that the beasure s a party pledge, but opponents of the bill will urge the senate to take a whaok at it. Kelley is now expected to transfer his base of operations to the sen- ate and i he stirs up as much nolse over the bill there as he has In the house, the members will have to pass it in self de- tense, Tolmes Feels the “Sting.” While the house got through another morning without a fist fight, there was a chance for & mill at least once or twice For instance, when Bhoemaker voted against the Holmes' fire warden bill, Holmes 160ked upon that action as being the bmsedt of ingratitude. Shoemaker explained that the fire warden in Omaba is not needed and voted no. “Listen at that' said Holmes to those around him, “I saved his nose here the other day. T wish now 1 had I¢. him get his head punched hard. This + what I get for taking up for him." Though Shoemeker was close enough to hear the rearks sruhemetafwyayyayyyya hear the remarks he was not feeling be- ligerent cnough to start anything. Howard's Ex Stands. Jerry Howard has been saved a crushing blow and when the blow failed to descend he thanked the house. It all came about over his explanation of his vote yesterday on the South Omaha charter. In that ex- planation Howard used some words which are seldom shouted even from the stump in & political campaign. Holmes of Douglas this morning moved to expunge the records of that explanation. “I do this, Mr. Speaker.”” he said, “be- cause twenty-five years from now Mr. Howard may have & son in the legisiature. It he ‘reads that explanation he will be st Pay Day in Seuate. The senators will not work without pay, a8 vouchers for the last 100 of their com- pensation from the state are belng pre- ashemed of himself." Jerry's Jaw shot out; his face tu;ned pale and he was on the poitn of doing something when Broderick moved to table the motion “1 sicond Iit," yelled Jerry. | Bouth providing for physical valuation of stock yards and public srvice corporations. The senate indefinitely postponed a bill by Bartos that would have permitted cor- porations seeking saloon licenses to have them fssued without a petition of free- holders. The Bartos bill giving the au- ditor, attornéy gemeral and governor the power to fix the maximum rates charged by surety companies was indefinitely postponed also Hous amendments to S, F. 263 and 564, drainage district bills by Cain of Richard- son, were agreed to.

DUTY ON LUMBER IS DISCUSSED ) ml{er ‘ol 0 (Continued from First Paj the free list, Mr. Howland (O.) declared that the continuance of a lumber tariff as a protective tariff cast discredit on the en- | tire system of protection. He sald those | who favored the tariff on lumber opposed its removal because it kept up prices and | made it pay to work up the entire tree and leave the tops and limbs in the forests to rot or bum. Captain J. B. White, said Mr. Howland, made an argument at & lurobermen’s dinner here that the tariff on | lumber should remain because it enabled American lumbermen to ship the best lum- ber to foreign markets and compelled the American citizen to buy seconds and culls. Claiming that Canada was one of the | largest purchasers of American lumber and forest products, Mr. Howland sald this would lead to the conclusion, If we were able to compete now in the Canadian mar- kets, that the need for the tariff no longer existed. He sald the talk of cheaper Can- adian labor and cheaper cost of production was the merest buncombe, Mr. Howland sald he was in sympathy with the move- ment for the conservation of the forests.
