MAVELOCK STILL IN BUSINESS Thirsty Lineoln People Wend Way There in Great Numbers on Holldays—Dobson s Cleared. P (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. ov. 2.—(Special.)—It Is ov- fdent that those who desire the: removal from office of Mayor Dahlman and mem- bers of the d of Fire and Police Com- missioners of Omaha are not satisfied with the hearing granted the complainants Ly the governor, but are attempting to in- fluence the governor by public sentiment Letters In great number have been 1e- celved by the governor, both froth Omaha and elsewhere, asking for his favorable action on the application to remove the officers mentioned, and inasmuch as it is unusual for outsiders to try to Influence a decision of a court or judge by letter it looks as If an organized effort had been made to put the Omaha officials in bad with his excellency. far as known publicly around the state house this Is the second case of fhe K7id around here, at least in recent years, The other case was where an effort was made by letter to Influence a decision In & regent important case pending in court Red 1 Day. Thanksgiving was a great day for Have- lock and Lincoln, and the Traction com- pany. Belng a hollday, those desiring hyor accompaniment to their turkey took n‘. time to go to the shop town for their supplies, rather than use the bootlegglng stuff they buy here. So the Traction com- pany put on a fifteen-minute service and cars were so numerous on the Havelock line that it looked ke a continuous pro- eyslon. As thirsty Lincolnites left the car t the loup on Tenth street, with their well fllled suitcases, their places were at once taken by parties gally swinging their empty cnses enroute to the joy fountaln Those who notlced events say the travel vas the heavlest ever on the Havelock line. Three Towns After hools, Secretary Graham of the defunct nor- mal board has sent to Secretary Ludden of the regular board the proposals of the towns of Crawford and Gorden for the new normal school to be located by the board. These towns filed their proposals with the new board, while Alllance filed 1ts proposal with the old board. So far these three towns are the only towns in the state which have bid for the school, The board will meet December 2 and at that meeting it will probably decide to visit the sites offeréd for the &chool and shortly thereafter select the town. Comminsion Seeks Light. The State Rallway commission had offi- cers of the traction company and also General Counsel Kelby of the Burlington before it today to talk over reports the two corporations have made to the com- mission. The commisslon desires light on some discrepancies in the two reports. Dobson Gets Clean Bill The following letter was received from General Manager Holdrege by the State Railway commission today: My report covering passes for the month of April; 198, was In error in showing a pass In favor of Mr. Adna Dobson from Lincoln to Madrid. “I regret the error and will be much obliged if you will correet the report. The Missourl Pacific made the same kind of a mistake on one occasion. It reported that Tom Allen,. a brother-in-law of Mr. Bryan and chairman of the democratic state committee, was one of its attorneys and had been sent an annual pass. When the facts were published the officials of e company ‘promptly sent in a statément »Wing a mistake had been made.

Dcmocr_zité?ry to Explain How They Fixed Law Anti-Pass Act, According to Records, Was Deliberately Amended to ‘Extract Sting. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 26.—(Speclal.)—According to the records of the late house of repre- sentatives, A. B. Taylor of York county and Ralph Clark of Richardson county fathered the two amendments which de. natured the anti-pass law enacted by the legislature of 1907, by striking out the word “or and Inserting the word “and,” leav- Ing the law to provide a penalty for “using and accepting” a pass. The 197 law pro- vided a penalty for “using or accepting” a pass. Attention was directed to the records by a statement published by Horace M. Davis, assistant secretary of the senate, which was sent to the State Rallway commission, explaining how the joker got into the bill. Mr. Davis explained that Frank West, who introduced the bill, copled the section from Cobbey's statutes and that this statute reads “and” Instead of “or’ as contained in the 1907 session laws. Mr. West, he said, did not know he was changing the law en- tirely when he copled that section. So he went on to say the blame should attach to Judge Cobbey.. The records of the committee of the whole show that on March 17, St. Patrick's day, Ralph Clark proposed an amendment to change the word “or’ to “and” in line fourteen of section 1. This motion was adopted. The records also show that Taylor of York handed in some amendments, one of which proposed to change ‘“or to “and” in line 14 section 1. Another proposed to change ‘“‘or" to “and” in line 8 section 1. The amendment, which was a duplicate of the Clark amendment already adopted, has lead pencil marks through it. The other Taylor amendment was adopted and the house, after the committee of the whole had dissolved, adopted the amend- ments. Attention was first called to the joker by the action of the county attorney of Valley county dismissing a complaint against Horace Davis and others for trad- ing advertising space for mileage. The county attorney sald he could not secure a conviction because he could not prove the “aceeptance and use” of the transporta- tion. Then Davis explained at length to excuse the Incompetency of the legislature, His explanation does not agree with Tren- more Cone's records, which show that the | nullification of the law was intended and | premeattated. As proof that the Davis explanation is wrong 18 found in the original bill intre- .duced by West, which contains the ‘word |“or" as does the printed bill. The en- |grossed has “and” instead of “or.” Cob- bey's statute does not contain the word “and” instead of GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Nov. 2 clal.)—Yesterday's observance of glving/ was an Innovation for this city and a unfon service, clvic and religious in na ture, was attended by the largest body of people ever assembling for a similar (Spe- Thanks- pur- opera house, the could be secured, The Bartenbach that pose. largest auditorfum w | alleries, and it 1s estimated that from 700 | to 500 participated.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 26.— (Spacial) — By signing the contract to work convicts at the state penitentiary Governor Shallen- berger has certainly put Labor Commis- sloner Maupin in a very embarrassing po- sition. The contract was signed during the absence of Maupin from the city, so of course the representative of union la- bor could not help it. When the first contract of the kind was proposed Maupin went to the front for his principles and the governor gave out quite a statement glying his reasons for not signing that one. But since the governor fell by the wayslde Maupin has issued no statement of condemnation. What he will do when the State Federation of Labor meets in South/Omaha January 4 s jooked forward to with much interest, as it s belleved the association will condemn the gover- nor for his action job given to him by the governor. NEW HIGH SCHOOL OR WAYNE some and modern high school bullding took place this evening, attended by a large number of citizens of Wayne and visitors trom abroad. After viewing the Interior of the structure, all assembled in the high school room, where the program for the afternoon was carried out. After music by the high school girls’ chorus and invoca- tlon by Rev. Parker Smith, addresses wer dellvered by Prof. U. 8. Conn of Columbus, Prof. Hunter of Norfolk and E. O. Garrett of Fremont. The speakers were enthusi- astic in thelr praise of the architectural beauty of the bullding, its splendid sanitary condition and excellent equipment through- out and It was sald that it had no superior in the state. The concluding exercises were in the high school room, when former State | Superintendent Fowler delivered 'the ad- | dress. New Deputies in Caster.

LINCOLN, Nov. 2.—(Speclal)—G. L. | Shumway of Winter Creek precinet, Scott's | Blutt county, has flled his name as a | candidate for the democratic nomination for congressman in the Sixth district of Nebraska. Mr. Shumway filed his name with the mecretary of state together with a receipt from the treasurer of Scott's | Bluff county for the $10 filing fee.

Still Flourishes. GRAND ISLAND, Neb, Nov. 2.—(Spe- clal)—Inquiry at the offices of the Amer- fcan Beet Sugar company heré as to the reported failure of the experiment in rais- ing beets at the State penitentlary leads to no further information than that the fig- ures could be wormed from the officlals. These are that forty acres of beets had been contracted for, that the heet seed for the same was sent and-charged up, that only foruteen acres, however, were actually raised, that the beets from these amounted to two cars, the first car totaling $92.60 and Beet dustry the second $82.17. The heet seed for the forty scres amounted to ‘$70.70. The mana ger of the company declined to make any further statement or to give any further information. Tt is remembered among busi ness men here, however, that at the time Governor Shallenberger recommended that the experiment of cultivating beets be made, the advisability of the venture was not endorsed by the warden of the peni tentiary, A large number of the beet raisers of this vielnity found it profitab with less favorable condition of labor, no labor In this section being obtainable at anywhere like 6 cents per day, and with the Increased price for next year will be | even more successtul Verdict Faulty, Plends Guilty. GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Nov. 26.—(Spe- clal.)—Robert Ford, the negro recently con- | victed by & jury In the district court of | Brand larceny, on the Information charging him with the highway robbery of one Mc- Gowan of York, a former penitentiary guard, In this city on September 3, was 28! night sentenced to fifteen months' im- ugh, ?rn H.'f'd.xm-.- o A ls hi following which he an-+ 1 prisonment in the state penitentiary at hard labor, Sundays and holidays excepted. The sentence was not imposed on the strength of the verdict, however. At the last mo- ment, when the jury had already sent in its verdict and had been excused, it was found that the verdict was defective in that it found the accused gullty of grand larceny and not, as charged in the informa- tion, of highway robbery, without specify- ing the amount stolen. An understanding had been reached that Ford would plead gullty to the lesser charge, of which he had {been convicted, on a new information, if there was assurance of a light sentence.
