Many of the states have already adopted such an amendment, and no state has ever repealed It when once adopted. “In this connection the electorate and he candidates for the state legislature would well devote some attention to the juestion of having a constitutional con- réntlon called. Many excellent reasons can bo advanced fob such a convention, and aone of any great welght against it. We cannot make progress under an antiquated col tution. ““The National Guard of the state, citizen soldlery serving without pay, our trom & spirit of pure patriotism, should be main- | talned in a high degree of efficlency at| all times. To this end I am in favor of more liberal appropriations for the support of the Nebraska National Guard. This or- ganization should have the very kindest cohsideration at the hands of the legisla- ture. The guard companies constitute a very valuable asset of the commonwealth and are not a charity proposition. There- fore, 1 shall, if elected, Insist to the limit of the governor's power that our militia companies be given more liberal and just sllowance than is now the case. Believes in Arbitration, “1 favor the estabMshment of an arbitra- tion or coneciliatory tribunal by the state for the peaceful settlement of industrial llsputes. While the ultimate form of such’ A law may well be left to the legisiature, L. belleve it should be compulsory in its nature so far as it may be. With what . light 1 have on the subjeot at present I am inclined to believe the governor or the chfef justice of the. supreme court should appoint a board of three men—one repre- wenting the employe, one representing the employer and the third a disinterested per- Son.. After due investigation and hearing of both sides the declsion of the board should be binding. These proposed hear- Ings should be held before any strike Is called. Thus hardship, annoyance and loss to both the employer and the employe and to the general public can be saved, and thus unnecessary suffering and possi- ble @estruction of life and property can be avolded. To strike first and then quarrel over the question of arbitration is not only unwise; it is a relic of industrial bar- barism.: I believe the Instituting of a falr system of ‘arbitration, enforceable on al e, 'will go far to eliminate strikes and the unfair stoppage of business from our industrial lite. 41 am in favor of the establishment of [ frde employment offices and information bufeavs In the larger cities, unfler state comtrol, where men seeking work, and visi- tors or settlers seeking information, will be able to command clean Intelligent assist- -nu. without cost.

The ap- polntment of certain officers, compara- tively few in number, charged with high responsibilities jointly with -the governor, should naturally be left in his hands. But the great number of faithful men and women employed in our state schools, hos- pltals and elceomosynary institutions should have the protection of & strong civil service law. Thelr retention should depend abso- lutely and alone on §ood conduct, faithful- ness and efficiency. To an honest effort to have such a law framed and enacted I pledge myself unequivocally. State Doard of Conmtrol. “I belleve the legislature should, and if elécted I will urge that it do, devote some study to the desirabllity of establishing in Nebraska a state board of control. This board should be bi-partisan if crested, and have direct supervision of all public insti- tutions, except possibly the state univer- sity and -scheol of agrieuiture.- It should make all contracts for, and purchase all supplies, and in general dischirge the like duties as now imposed on similar boards In other states where the plan has proven wisely economical and highly efficient, “As the construction of a new state capltol bullding will ‘ffom now on be a pertinent and a live ssue in our internal policy, 1 belleve the ‘matter of & more central location can well be given some thought by the people generally at this time. The present loeation was made at @ time when the very remarkable develop- ment of this state to its present ¢ommand- ing position was undreamt of by anybody. Hence, & glance at the map of Nebraska today will show that there can be very serious question ralsed, with justice, as to the wisdom of malintaining the 'seat of state government where it now is. A capitol bullding adeéquate to the needs and commensurats with the dignity of Nebraska ‘will involve heavy expenditure. That such a new struoture might well be erected in a more central location in the state and more equally accessible to all the people In the widespread borders of its domain seems hardly to permit of argu- ment, aside frow the merely selfish plea that would inevitably’ be made for the present location. “Even if the people decide, after mature deltberation, to put theli new capitol build- ing in & Qifferent and fairer location, Lin- coln would still be the home of the state university, to say nothing of many other state institutions. The university is stead- ily forging to the front as a really great educational center and one of the very best uses to which the present capitol build- ing could be put, in my judgment, would be to turn it over to the Hoard of Regents to be used for university purpokes. To this end it could be very readily adabted and At a reasonable expense extending over a period of yeers. Nebraska Wants Better Roads. “That the state itself should take a live- ller interest in the subject of good roads 1 most sincerely belleve. Many of our s ter commonwealths have gone far ahead along this great line of work; and It is bigh time that Nebraska should at least make a move to get into line with the best thought of the country on this very impor- tant subject. The legialature should have its attention. Qirected sharply to the need for a definite general plan to be followed for a series of years, under direction, per- haps, of the state engineer, until we shall have very materially lmproved our high- ways. Cost of hauling crops, to say noth- ing of comfort, and the saving of time ana work, demands a forward step in good road making. / "While I propose and desire to stand for ¢lection on the platform that the democ- racy of Nebraska may adopt In its state convention, I must reserve the right to re- pudiate @ county loeal option plank as being distinetly undemocratic. I do not beligve such -a plank can or should be placed In our state platform, but I feel sincerely that the issues herein outiined should be discussed and considered by the people of this state. 1 hope to see them win such public approval as to be given a place In the declaration of the Nebraska democracy to be put forth in July. Let us have a platform of constructive character and not one based on sumptuary -theories of law.” Elks and Eagles Are Indicted Organisations at Marshalltown, Are Charged with Violating Liquor Laws.

STORMS HAS SEVERAL OFFERS May Yet Decide to Will Pulpit in Indianapolis Church——Treat for the Board of Conme trol. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, March 2.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—Dr. A. B. Storms, president of the State college at Ames, is likely to go to Indlanapolls to fill a pulpit there after the expiration of this year at the college, He has refused a flattering offer from there and also many other offers since it became known he would retire. It was announced today that a number of the other veteran members of the Ames faculty will be asked to retire, including Samuel Beyer, mining engineer; O. H. Cessna, chaplain and pro- tessor of history; A. A. Bennett, chemistry, and A. B. Noble, English department. Prof. Kennedy of the animal husbandry depart- ment has retired, as alfo has Miss Deuling, head of the domestic sciéhce department. It is expected the new board will com- pletely revolutionize the force. It was pra: tically decided today that Secretary Forrest Treat of the State Board of Control will be the next member thereof by appointment of the governor. His selection will be esp clally pleasing to heads of the institutions, with whom he has had dealings for ten years, Dinner to Wallace, Two hundred friends of Henry Wallace, the vetéran editor of Wallace's Farmer, gave him a dinner tonight in honor of his 7ist birthday. Miners to See Operators. A meeting of the Iowa coal operators will be held next week and in conjunction with the coal miners in an effort to declde upon the wage question before the close of the season s0 as to avold & strike or suspension of work even for a day. It is believed they will be able to agree and prevent trouble. BALLINGER HELD | defamatory accusations. UP AS GUILTLESS (Continued from First Page.) Steele’s testimony. He will testify when we see fit to put him on.” “Then with that statement in view, 1 desire to protest anew,” resumed Mr. Brandels, “1 have refrained from making specific charges against Mr. Ballinger. But specific charges have been made by others. The one great question before this committes and befors the country, is whether or not Mr. Ballinger is unfit to occupy his position by reason of a lack of truthfulness and dlrectness. Mr. Ballinger has been charged by Mr. Pinchot and by witnesses produced by him with wilfully decetving the president and having made statements that are untrue.’” Intersuption by Mr. Roet. *“To what proposition are you speaking?" interrupted Senator Root. “The .order and circumstances under which Mr. Ballinger is to testity are of paramount importance,” replied Mr. Bran. dels, where veracity and straightforward- ness are the issue. Why should he be pro- tected from those ordinary tests of veracity to which other witnesses are subjected. ls he to be allowed to withhold his testimony and’ so frame it as to reconcile it with other testimony that Is first to put in?" Here the attorney ‘Was stopped again. “This Is an investigation, not an inquisi: tion,” sald Senator Sutherland. '“The cor. mittee has reached a decision which it bé- leves to be right and fair.” “The committee,” added Senator Root, “agreed on this point and announced its decision. You are not showing proper re- spect for the unanimous decision of the committee.” Graham Objects to Delay. Representative Graham thought Mr. Brandeis should be allowed to proceed as indicating what his summing up argument would be, “After he has indicated his purpose,” sald Mr. Graham, “it remains for the other slde to decide whether it will take 'the sting out of the argument by calling Mr, Ballinger at this time.” Senator Flint declared he would not sit & minute to listen to arguments at this stage of the cuse. He sald he was sacri- floing his personal interests to serve on the committee, but would withdraw from it If it became necessary to listen to such arguments as proposed by Mr. Graham at this time. This ended the argument. subsided. John L. Bteele, attorney for the Guggen- heim interests in Alaska, took the stand. Another Call for Ballinger. ‘When the afternoon session was begun Attorney Brandeis made another attempt to have Mr. Ballinger take the witness stand t once. He did not think the secretary should first put other witnesses before the committee. Mr. Brandels also sald he could not say his case was closed until after he had had an opportunity to examine Mr. Ballinger, Mr. Vertrees repjled to Mr. Brandeis at some length. He declared that Brandels and the other counsel were present and con- ducting what would ordinarily be con- sidered the prosecution only by sufferance of the committee and it was for the com- mittee to u\ermma its course and not Mr, Brandeis. Mr. Vertrees dnclnrad that counsel for Secretary Ballinger had offered.no objec- tion to the methods of the prosecution or of any so-called evidence they had put in. He asserted that “the other side” had come to the hearing with lips ‘‘protesting no charges, but with tongues leprous with No objection had inferences, insinua- Mr. Brandels been offered to facts, tions or anything else. Mr. Vertrees said not only the secretary of the interior, but the president had been assalled in the proceedings, and he asked the “poor privilege of presenting our evi- dence in that manner which would put it most clearly to the committee for tinal determination.” The attorney asserted that the lawyers on the other side had by “labeling nonsense as evidence,” tried to tire out and vex the committes so it would call a halt and they could set up the cry of hav- ing had no opportunity to present their case in full. “The assault of Mr. Ballinger has been & miserable failure,” shouted Mr, Vertrees. “This is their last chance—their last hope—that they can get a man on the stand who cannot by himself present the case in orderly fashion, so that they can harass in the hope that something may be drawn from him to bolster up a falling cause.” At 245 p. m. the committee went into executive session again to con: whether Mr, Ballinger should be called at this time. The committee decided, for the sec- ond time, against summoning Mr. Ballin- gef, In accordance with Mr. Brandels’ re- auest, The vote against calliog ur Bal- ILn[Ir was § to 8, Mr, Vertrees here called upon Mr. Bran- dels to produce the copy of the agreement. b?'m Louls Glavis and W, W.

The committee thereupon' ruled that the agreement be produced prior to the next session. Statement for Ballinger. Mr. Vertrees here began to read his statement of what the defense expeocts to prove. Mr. Vertrees began by telling the commit- tee that the evidence which his side would present “as you will discover, Is of two kinds—first evidehce that has no direct relation to the acts, personal or official, of Mr. Ballinger, but which bears upon par- tioular collateral statements of witnesses, like Glavis, Barr and Jones, and second, evidence which does relate directly to those acts of Mr. Ballinger which Glavis, Pinchot and company have sought to as- sail and impugn.’ Mr. Vertrees declared he would show the cvidence of Glavis, Jones, Barr and others, with respect to certain specific collateral tacts, “to be so grossly faise as to convince committee that in these respects It deliberdtely fabricated and conselously For example, the evidence of the witness Jones as to the manner in.which Mr. Sheridan conducted the hearings in the Cunningham cases and exposed his case to his adversaties' fs such a perversion of the truth as to leave no doubt it was de- liberate, and the evidence of Glavis as to the relations and conduct of Mr. Behrens and Mr. Dennett is equally false.

The day was replete with interest. The growing bitterness between Attorgeys Ver- trees and Brandels manifested Itself in sev- eral sharp exchanges. The demands of Mr. Brandels, first itat Mr. Ballinger appear as a witness to be examined as a part of the case for the “prosecution” and later that he be re- quired to appear as the first witness for the “‘defense,” called out lively discussions between counsel and among members of the committee. The first request was unanimously denied. The second request made during the afternoon was coneidered in executive session for forty minites, at the end of which time it likewise was denied. The vote on the second proposition stood elght to four and was taken to Indicate, by many, how hopelessly the committee is dlvided and as presaging in the end a m: fority and minority decision. Representa- tive Madison of Kansas. “insurgent” r publican, voted with the democrats. Sen: tor Purcell of North Dakota, democrat, voted with the republicans. Representative James put the motion that Mr, Ballinger be compelied to take the tand as the first witriess on his side of the case and it was on this that the vote was taken. Senator Purcell declared he thought it only just, as a lawyer, that the defense should be allowed the same liberty in call- ing witnesses and arranging the order of its testimony as had been granted to the prosecution. Secretary Ballinger probably will not testify until toward the end of the pro- ceedings. Shcci) Herder Killed in Fight; Shoot at Dance Edd Dees Draws Too Quickly for Bert Cunpbell at Burlington—Quarrel Over Girl, BASIN, Wyo., March 2.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Ed Dees, a sheep herder, shot Bert Campbell, also a sheep herder, last night about 8 o'clock over a girl. The affair occurred at Burlington, twenty-tive miles west of Basin. Campbell dled at noon today. Decs s in the custody of the authorities. The shooting had its inception at the weekly dance and took place In front of the Burlingtom State bank building. Camp- bell and Dees had left the dance to settle thé Qispute and upon reaching the bank bullding Campbell is reported to have said, “We'll settle this with guns” and therc- upon started to draw. Dees was teo swift. The latter shot quickly and twice, one ball going. through the shoulder and the other, &s Campbell partially quartered from the shock, entercd his back, traveling upwards, coming out near the neck. Dr. C. D. Carter, Burlingten surgeon, was summoned and" left Basin about 9 o'clock, In company with the sheriff. Propecuting Attorney Percy Moets left early | this morning to secure the dying statement of Cumpbell. Campbell and Dees are well known young men and_are about % years of age. Feel- ing Is sald to be running high and about equally divided. There has been talk even of lynching Dees, but the presence of the county attorney and the sheriff will no doubt edlm public feeling. Dees, who submitted to arrest, has been brought to Basin and is now in jall awalts ing action of the prosecuting attorney, who has not vet returned from the soene of the shooting. 5 DEATH RECORD.

MAKES MANY TRIPS T0 NEW YORK From Two to Five Thousand Dollars Spent Each Time—Was Intro- dueed to Game by Bos- ton Men. CAMBRIDGE, confession made yesterday by George W. Coleman ana given out today by his attor- ney, Henry H. Winslow, Coleman, who oharged with embexslement from the Na- tional City bank of Cambridge, admitted ‘that he took $180,000, and that nearly every ‘cent of it was lost in trying to “Break & faro bank” in New York. Colemsn stated that he was introduced to the game by a Boston man several years ago and lost $5,000 of his own at the time. Two years Jater, he met other Boston men who in- terested him in the game he said, and he then, last May and February, made at least fifty trips to New York, taking with him each time sums varying from $2,000 to 5,00, all of which he lost. These men, gald Coleman, knew where the money w coming from, as he had told them he wi “getting in wrong." The ajleged disclosures were made at Coleman's home in Cambridge, in the pre; ence of two Cambridge police officlals, Coleman's attorney, Mr. Winslow, Wilson 'W. Lockhart, the young assistant of Cole- man at the bank, who is also charged with embezzlement and & newspaper re- porter. The men with whom he went to New York, Coleman sald, and to whom he en- trusted his money, he understood was to place a like sum against the faro game. At different times they went to several houses, all above Fiftieth street, he sald, but he could not remember the addresses. He never saw the other men's money. Sev- eral times after he had lost all he had the men sent him back to Boston to obtaln more monéy, Which Re did. When asked if he ever suspected anything, Coleman replied: “Yes, once I sald: ('What is the matter with thet bank down there? I can't stand this forever.'

D, March 3—(8pe- clal.)—Good progress is being made in the work of taking testimony in Sloux Falls in the case between the State Board of Rallrond Commissioners and the varlous great rallroad corporations having lines in | South Dakota, with the reduction of pas- | senger fares in South Dakota from 3 to 2 cents per mile as the bone of contention. At a hearing held in Chicago the raiiroads presented their testimony in chlef, and the stite Is now presenting its testimony.
