NEBRASKA CAPITOL IS
IN DANGEROUS STATE
KiiKineer Do not Relieve It Will
Kail Noon but Other are
Skeptical
State Engineer George E. Johnson
and Assistant Engineer Steckelberg
made another examination of the de
fective oast wing of the state house
as a result of alarming rumors of
the safety of the wing.
Measurements were made because
of the report that a window glass in
Adjutant General Hall's office on the
third floor of the defective wing had
been broken sometime between Sat
urday and Monday morning, presum
ably by the rurther settling of the
foundation and walls.
Owen P. Stewart, assistant state
superintendent, added to the alarm
by saying he distinctly felt the build
ing tremble at half past seven when
he was at work In the state super
intendent's office. He went outside
and examined the cracked founda
tion near the window where he
works and It was his opinion that
fresh cracks were plainly apparent.
He said the building shook as If dis
turbed by a shock from an earth
quake. Engineer Johnson first examined
the broken window in the office of
the adjutant general. It is about
fifteen feet from where the wall
cracked several years ago when the
building settled. The window sash
he found to be loose with no appar
ent strain upon it No cracks in the
wall either outside or inside were
found near the window. The heavy
glass in the upper sash was split
from top to bottom In the form of a
pyramid, with the apex at the top of
the sash. This pyramid waa pushed
outward at the top about two inches
from the remainder of the glass. The
break by soma Is believed to be the
result of a sharp blow rather than
from a settling of the building.
Engineer Johnson used a transit
In taking clevuliou and found no ad
ditional settlement of the east wing
walls since measurements made by
himself and Assistant Engineer
Steckelberg a few weeks ago. He
found no evidence that the broken
window was csused by a recent sink
ing of the walls. He will make fur
ther measurements to ascertain
whether the south wall of the defect
ive wing leans outward more than It
did when he made a recent examina
tion. At that time the Joist In the cell
ing of representative hall projected
over the top of the wall only four
Inches whereas they originally pro
jected one foot over the top of the
wall. Mr. Johnson said at that time
there was no Immediate danger of
the wall leaning outward enough to
cause it to fall, bat said the danger
was that the Joist in the celling
might slip off the top of the wall.
This might carry the celling nnd floor
of the hall to the floor of the first
story. Mr. Johnson advised the state
officers and a legislative committee
there was no danger of the walls
falling for several years, but he said
he would make examinations from
timo to time prior to the meeting of
the legislature next January so that
the state board and committee of leg
islators appointed by Governor More
head will be In a position to advise
the legislature as to the exact con
dition of the building when the leg
islature convenes.

DOUGLAS GO. CORONER
FIGHTS FOR OFFICE
Crosby goes Into supreme court in
effort to prove new law Is
invalid
Will the office of coroner be abol
ished and the duties of the office
wished on the county attorneys
throughout the state?
Is the amendment passed by the
last Nebraska legislature In keeping
with the law when it wipes out the
coroners position?
These questions were threshed out
before the supreme court at Lincoln
Tuesday morning when the appealed
mandamus case of Coroner Crosby of
Douglas county against Election
Commissioner Moorhead on mandam
us proceedings demanding that Cros
by's name be placed on the ballot, was
argued. Deputy County Attorney
Abbott of Omaha conducted the case
for the state, while atorney It. M.
Swltiler appeared for the coroner.
Application for a writ of mandam
us was refused when the case was
tried before Judge Day iu District
court.
"The state constitution requires
that when an act Is amended the spe
cific statutes and provisions to be
amended must be specified. The
amendment passed by the legislature
in 19 15 Is faultly in this respect and
when the case is argued before the
supreme court we will claim the act
not properly amended and therefore
Ineffective," said Attorney Switzler.
Deputy County Attorney Abbott
said:
"The contention of the county Is
that this law is not intended to
amend the other laws now In force
In regard to county attorneys and
coroners, but is merely adding some
duties already prescribed by statue
to the county attroney; that the law
Is a new and complete piece of legis
lation. Coroner Crosby contends
that the new law Is amendatory and
therefore unconstitutional, because it
does not mention the sections of the
statute which It Intends to repeal.
That, however, is not necessary
where the act is complete in itself
and the controversy is over the ques
tion as to whether or not the new
statute is amendatory or a complete
act.
"The county attorney also argues
that the duties of the county attor
ney and county coroner are not In
compatible, and therefore the law is
not void for that reason. The coun
ty attorney has already won the case
on these points In the district court."

In the Country
Denver, Sept. 16 Better prices
for the grower and lower prices to

natters under discussion at the ses
sion of the National Livestock asso
ciation being held here. Attending
the session were members of the ex
ecutive and market committees of
the National Livestock association,
and Louis D. Hall, special represent
atives of the United States depart

Others who attended the hearing
Included Dwight B. Heard of Phoe

L. L. Burke of Omaha, vice president
of the market committee; 1. T. Pry

of Ainarillo, M. K. Parsons of Utah
and Edward Laster of Texas.
"We want to bring about a condi
tion by which the cattle grower can
afford to remain in the business and
produce meat at a price at which the
consumer can afford to buy," Mr.
Heard said. "The cattle grower is
not making money now, yet the
packer is making enormous profits
and the consumer is paying an un
precedented price for meat.
"We want an Investigation by the
federal trade commission of live
stock marketing. It is not only the
settled plan of the stockgrowers but
the general public Is determined to
have remedies applied for violent
price fluctuations. Only the stock
yards packing house interests have
ever questioned the propriety of such
a movement."
