ANOTHER BATTLE IS DUE TODAY House in Night Session Recommend Quackenbush Bill for Recall of Al' - State Officers Which May Be Ini tiated in a 25 Per Cent Petition. Lincoln, April 1. Lincoln will con thitie to be the capital of. Nebrask. for at least two years more, unless tlit honse 8hal! toi'.av reverse the vot which last night killed the capital re jooval bUl. Taylor of Merrick offered several amendments to provide that a special election be held at which any xown in the hate could ba voted for as a location tor the capitol building, in tludia,; Lincoln. The two toviiis re ceiving ths highest number of votes were then to be decided between at the next regular state election. The sponsors of the bill, Bailey of Buffalo and Prince and Sink of Hall, ngreed to these amendments, but Kotouc then moved to strike out the enacting clause. This was to have the effect ot killing the bill, and the motion car ried, 42 to ?6. Prince then moved to reverse that action and recommend the bill as it stood for third reading, hut he was defeated by 58 to 18. Itel lev then voted with the prevailing side, w that he will be in a position today to move a reconsideration. The Quackenbush bill, recommend ed to pass, provides for a recall against nil state officers which may be Initiat ed In a 25 per cent petition. Hous Favors Mill Levy for Campus. The removal of the University of the University of Nebraska from its present campus to the state farm waa approved by the house. The measure up for consideration vas H. R. 620, by Kirk of Boyd, pro viding for a levy of 1 mill to be ex pended In beginning the removal. It Is expected that the present buildings vM not be all converted nor the iiew buildings at the state farm ready to take care of all the students In less than ten years, and possibly longer. It Is expected that the 1-mlll levy bin will go through the senate, as the friends of removal won a preliminary tkiimish there on the adoption of the special committee report. The new situation for the university will be commodious and within a short ride of the center ot the city. The buildings are to be erected all In the tame style according to a definite architectural scheme and agricultural and academic departments will not have to duplicate any classes. The debate on the question brought out only the arguments that have been advanced In the committee 'meetings. Several members argued against th-) ropositlon and advocated the adop tion of the committee's alternative, a Vi mill levy, to be expended on the present campus. When it was evident bowever, that the Uj-mlll levy was not favored they voted for the bill. Carnegie Pensions Agreed To. The house of representatives decided to take advantage of the Carnegie pension fund for college professors and passed the Joint resolution In fracting the regents of the University of Nebraska to make the nece ssary ap plication. This question at the last tension was the subject of one of the bitterest and most unpleasant debates that took place In the house, but as a contrast this year It went through wRh little spoken opposition, although the vote, 53 to 40, was close. The senate has already passed the resolution and it will now go Into ef fect with the governor's approval. Another Message From Governor.
