WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.~What Senator | Depew characterized as a farewell unique in thé senate's history was delivered today by James Gordon, senator from, Mississippl, | | Who eald goodbye to the senators with | whom he had served for the last sixty days. | Practioally the entire senate listened with | rapt attention to the address of the vener- able Misaissippian. Beginning with the statement that the | deadlock In Missisaippl had been broken and that Mr. Percy had been chosen to fake his place, Colonel Gordon sald that he had feit & desire to express his feelings towards | the senate before returning to his home in | | Misslssippl. | , He then told how, when 6 years old, he had been presented with a toy board which’| was checked over with different objects, some of them good and some of them bad. One of these objects was the capitol of the | United States and his mother had told him, | he said, that it he would be good and would live & carrect lite he might some day hope to #it In the seat of the big man who was plotured there. “She never had told me a lle and I knew that what she sald was true. 1 knew that 1 would some day oocupy the seat of that | big man and God helping me I got there A yesterday (referring to the fact that for a timg yesterday he had occupled the seat of | the presiding officer). I was born a muiti- millionaire,” sald Colonel Gordon, “but I never was happy fintil I got rid of my surplus money. I spent much of it ca my slaves and the rest of my funds I spent like & gentleman and got rid of the entire encumbrance.

However, I skedaddled frequemtly,” He then told of some of his exploits in thé war ahd how he had captured General Coburn of Indiana and General Shafter. Bhafter, he sald, had fired at him five different times during- the confederate cliarge without hitting him. He said that Whenever the union and confederate sol- dlers meot they were always good friends. Asderting that he loved the negro, he de- | clared that he wanted Mason and Dixon's line _obliterated from the map of the United States because he did not want any miore strife.

Grows WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Declded prog- ress was made In the senate today towards the disposition of the postal savinge bank bill. In addition to a striking speech hy fenator Balley and an amendment offered by Senator Briton, which is offered as a compromisc of the various diffsrences on the quest! ., \¢he disposal of the funds arising frg’ o 1® WE\tal deposits, Senator Carter styyq n am‘\r many previgus fu- tite eff., O ¢ ting mext Thussday, March 3, iiig for & vote an the bill. There was o objection th naming a day, and senators appeared pleased that a time had heen fixed for the final disposition of the measure, which it must be confessed, | has dragged Its progress through the sen- ate. Mr. Carter made his request immediately after the close of Senator Bailey's speech. The time was well selceted, for the reason that many senators have been walting to hur from the Texas senator before agree- ing to the fixing of any ume for the ul- timate dfsposal of the bill. After Mr. Balley had concluded many expressed the opinion that he had thrown much fight upon constitutional questions involved in the subject. Me had a splendid audience, hoth on the floor of the senate and In the gallerles and his speech was recelved with general favor. Mr. Owen gave notice that he would speak tomorrow on his proposed amend- ment, substituting a government guaran- tee of bank deposits for the suggested postal banks. Mr. Bailey’s Speech. Mr. Bailey discussed the difenernt clauses of the constitution, under which the sav- ings bank bill had found support. Be- ginning with the commerce clause, he de- clared [t to be a grotesque absurdity to say that such an Institution as a postal savings bank system could be ullblhvnd under it 4 ; Reforring to the eontention that the bt | Wwas justified under the borrowing clause of the comstitution, he asked its advocates whether the real purpose of the measure Was that of borrowing money. If it was, then, that It was constitutional, but con- celving the object of this elause to be that of enabling the government to perform its tnuctions in time of emergency, he con- tended that this measure would not justity thé contention made under this clause. If customs houses were as numerous*as postoffices, sald Senator Balley, they would have been as apt to be chosen for this business. The business proposed was a purely_ fiscal operation, he declared, and made no pretense of any connection with the operations of the postal service; He contended that the citizans had a right to do with money as he pleased, as he had with any other property. Rights of Citizens. “If you can bring money from its hid- ing place In one way you can in another," he said. “You have just as much power to compel the citizen to supply money by threatening him with punishment as you have to tempt him by guaranteeing to him a profit on it. If you can employ a pre- mium you can employ a penalty. You have no more right to prescribe what a citizen shall do-with his money than you have to say what he shall do with his lana."” He then attempted to show that the pur- pose of the bill was to encourage economy and thrift, and he quoted the message of President Roosevelt of 197 in support of this contention, entering upon an argument to show that this was not part of the duty of he government, but, on the other hand, that it was an unwarranted obtrusion of | the government into the affairs of its citi- | zens. Entering then into a discussion of the ab- stract rights of citisenship, Mr. Bailey de- olared it was a libel to say that people could not take care of thelr own money, | and declared that only through struggle and suffering could a strong people be de- veloped. He contended that people must learn to take the chances and stand upon their own responsibility in business affairs, Mr. Burton’s Amendments. In an effort to reconcile the differences among senators, Senator Burton today in- troduced an amendment to the section pro- viding for the disposal of sayings funds. Four methods of investing the funds are provided. They direct, first, for a reserve adequate to meet withdrawals, then the provision permits the purchase of the se- ourities of the national government, invest- ment in state or city bonds as authorized by the Vreeland-Aldrich emergency cur- rency law, and in loans to banks on ap- | proved security. J udnge I:eslie Declines to Part Two Old Neighbors Rumor reached Dundee the other day that County Judge Charles Leslie was thinking of moving. to that suburb. Now, Dundee knows Judge Leslie in | several ways, all favorably. but chiefly fu connection with two lawsults which came closs home to Dundee. These wers the prosecution of ¥. ‘L. Fitchett by H. C. Baird and the prosecution of Baird by Mr. Fitchett. The two men are next door nelghbors and thelr recrimations and Fit- chett's” spite fence” haye attained more than local fame. When Judge Leslie fined Mr. Baird for Assault on Fitehett, Mr. Fitchett concelved an admiration for the eounty judge, which Was nog entirely disseminated when Baird Pprosecuting, the court fined Fitchett, him- self. Similarly—and this is the only thing the two men have in common~Mr. Batrd formed a high opinlon of Judge TLeslie when the court fined Fitchett, Thus Judge Leslie soaked them both and retained each man's good will. Fitchett heard the judge planned to move to pretty Dundee. Forthwith he appeared at the court house. “I understand Baird is willing to sell his house,” sald Fitchett, “It is a good pro- perty. Why don't you buy 1t? Next day in came Mr. Baird. Judge,” sald he, “I hear Old Fitchett wishes to sell and he has a good house, and you are coming out our way, I under. stand, I just wanted to tell you It s a &ood proposition. You could go farther and do worse.” But alas! Judge Lealie has decided to take another plece of property and Messrs Fitchett and Baird bid falr to have each other for neighbors for some time to come. | used to work behind the counter, From the mm‘gm Bnquirer, At the Auto Show UNION PACIFIC CONTRACT LET |New Headquarters Will Be Built by Thompson-Starrett Company.

The contract calls for an expendi- ture of $1,839,000,;which {s $339,000 more than was originally Intended for the new home of the Harriman lines. The enormous sum appropriated by the raflroad Is exciusive of the price of the land, which, In itself, 1s a valuable plece of property. The site Is at the northeast corner of Fifteenth and Dodge streets, nn the location of the old Labor Temple. | While the Union Pacitic will go ahead | with its headquarters building and fs also |a party to the erection of the new Union depot at Kansas City, the hope for en- larged station facilitles in Omaha seems to be Awindling somewhat. Three toads, it is sald, are holding back In ratifying the proposed Improvements. Orders to raze the old Labor Temple and the adjoining low bulldings on Dodge street will be issued early in March. Exea- vations for the new twelve-story head- quarters bullding will then begin. Jarvis Hunt, the architect, 1s expected to visit Omaha shortly in connection with the work. Young Man Will Build It. One of the noteworthy ‘features in the letting of the contract to the Thompson- Starrett company is the announcement that a comparatively young man, Philip Hiekey, will have charge of the big job. Ten years ago he was a humble clerk in a grocery store and began construction work as a timekeeper. At 30 years of age Philip Hickey has in charge the erection of more great steel and | concrete skyscrapers than any other ep- gineer in the United States—certainly more than any other of his age in the country. He is now enroute to Seattle to put the finishing touches on a steel structure for the American Steel and Wire company. After he has approved the buflding and | formally turned it over to the company, he will come to Omaha to take charge of the new Union Pacitic home. “The grocery business was too slow for me,” he said, with a smile. *‘From the time I left grammar school until I was 20 I but be- came tired of the job. Then I went to work as a time keeper for the Fuller Construc- tion company In Chicago. “I wanted to go to college and study engineering, but I couldn't spare the time, (Continued on Second Page.)

Defaulter Who Got Fortune on Twelve a Week Clerk Who Wrecked Cambridge Bank Had Unique Scheme for Hiding Shortage. BOSTON, Feb. 24.—Former Governor John L. Bates, as recelver, was today in charge of the affairs of the Natlonal City bank of Cambridge, which was closed yesterday by the comptroller of the currency on the 8is- covery of a shortage of $144,000. g This amount, it is sald today, may wot' be the total of the defalcation. Coleman, the young bookkeeper of the bank who Is said | to be in the west, kept a private account at the bank and another as treasurer of the Boston branch of the Kissel Kar Kom- pany, of which he was the manager. It is 2314 he would glve his ehecks for consid- erable amounts, which were cashed at out- side banks.

As mearly every Dprosperous. farmer has an incubator, he may not ofily hatch his eggs, but during the time of {htubation he may test about tive batches of seed corn in the same in- cubator. The temperature Is just right and there is plenty of molsture in the in- cubators to make the corn sprout. Never has a crusade of any.kind been started in Omaha which has so thor- oughly been taken up all over the state as the campaign for better seed corn. It is finding & regponsive chord in all sec- tions of Nebraska and bankers, farmers, grain dealers, oreamery men and the press are all lending all possible ald in securing as much publicity as possible for the cam- paign, "“Where can we get seed corn?"’ This {s the question which is now being | asked hiundreds of times all over the state. It 1s not the purpose of the publicity bu- reau of the Comimercial club to advertise any speglal growets of seed corn, but the tests made by the club show that there is considerable good corn to be had. There is & considerable amount of 1908 corn other than that held by the seed houses, but in answering the inquiries the publicity bureau says: Polnters for Corn Growers. “By all means get teed corn of your nelghbors If possible or select every ear planted from your own corn by the germi- natlon test.

Castetter, president of the banking of A. Castetter of Blalr, says “A critical period in the agricultural his- tory of Nebraska is at hand. It involyes the selection or the securing of seed corn for the crop of 1910. The faflure or suc- cens of the ¢rop depends upon it. Farmers Must Take Warning, “If the farmers heed the warning, Ne- braska will continue prosperous, but It they do not, and they proceed to plant corn for seed that is selected at random, their erop will be a failure, and when a reduction in the, value of the Nebraska corn grop is made (o the extent of 80 or 60 per cent or more, the territic loss will be felt in every st in- F.

M.—The first open move to bring about a settlemant of the street car strike In this ity was mads today when a committee composed ot | clergymen of many denominations offered two plans to the company and the strikers. The first plan calls for & board of ar- bitration to be composed of two judges, two clergymen, two business men and a seventh member to be chosen by the other six. It is proposed that each side select three of the Arbitrators. If this plan does |not meet with approval, the clergymen suggest that a board of arbitration be agreed upon to be composed of the state rallroad commission and four other per- sons, two to be chosen by each side. A man was arrested In the northern part ot the city today on a charge of attempting to dynamite cars. It ls sald he implicated several other men.

The troopers are all picked men, veterans of the regular arr y, who haye seen riof duty In all parts of the state. Their pres- ence {8 expected to have a salutary effect upon the lawless element that-has been wrecking street cars In different sections of the city. Arriving In the rallroad yards in the northern section of the city each company quickly detrained their horses while a curlous crowd looked on.

At that | hour cars on all lines were returned to the respective barns, Rioters ‘Are Oaptured. Four policemen guarded each car and detectives patrolled the route all day in automobiles. Whenever & group of ‘men |formed anywhere on the street, the de- tectives ruslied them and followed the ring leaders even into houses untll they cap- tured them. In spite of the vigllance of the police many car windows were broken and the company was finglly obliged to use sheet.iron windows in place of glass | panes, While the police were busy keeping tracks clear for the lines in Kensipgton, the lines | in other parts of the eity run on much reduced schedules and on several of the West Philadelphia and downtown lines no attempt was made to run cars all day, | although these sections were comparatively qulet.
