Deming, president of the United States Civil ; Service commission, Monday took j issue with a quotation credited to former Senator Reed in his recent Kansas City) address that "a ma jority of the 600,000 federal em ployes are paid spies, thieves and snoopers." "The most charitable view I can take of that statement is that Sen ator Reed was either misunderstood or misquoted," Mr. Deming said. He cited that a majority, or about 313, 000 of the federal employes in the executive branches are in the postal service, with the remainder divided up among the other departments. "And they are not spies, thieves and snoopers," he asserted. "A few thousand in the treasury department and the department of justice, no doubt, do some undercover work but that is part of their duty." Bomb Tossed in House Over Bootlegger Proposal Held, However, to Be Out of Tune With Subject Before the Lower Branch While the house Monday, in com mittee of the whole, was attempting to reach a conclusion as to a proper and adequate definition to fit the bnotlcgc;pr. Representative Gardiner of Douglas tossed a bomb shell pro posing to repeal sixty sections of the Nebraska statutes. His substitute bill would have wiped out every pro hibitory law now in effect. Mr. Gar diner's idea war. to place the state under the Jones federal act. Representative Hovis of Dawson, chairman in committee of the whole, declined to entertain the substitute on the ground that it was foreign to the matter under discussion. The bill under treatment proposed one tiling and one thing onely to de fine a bootlegger. Becr.u-e of the rul ing. Mr. Gardiner was not permitted to discuss his proposed substitute. The membership had trouble enough as it was in reaching r.n agreement on striking from the defi nition, as returned by the senate, the words "by gift or otherwise." It was urged that the man who gives his neighbor a glass of home made wine or brew certainly does not belong in the bootlegger class. After long and strenuous debate, the amendment was approved 32 to 26 and the bill ad vanced. The house advanced S. F. 277. by Senators Kryer, Easton and Ran dall, requiring submission to voters of any metropolitan district any proposed change from manufactured to natural gas. S. F. 201 as advanced by the house provides that the county treasurer shall add to each description of land advertised in the delinquent tax list, 30 cents to defray advertising ex penses. The old law provided for a ten cent charge on description of town lots and 20 cents for farm prop erty. S. F. 41, once killed by th house and raised again, was advanced with two amendments. The original bill provided that in counties having 10,000 or more lineal feet of bridges the county board should have the power to levy an additional tax of one-half mill for bridge purposes. The first Coulter amendment chang ed the requirement for bridge foot age to one for a population of 15, 000 or more and more than 100,000 acres of irrigated land. The original bill would take in many of the river counties, especially along the Platte, while the intent was to give the pro vision to irrigated areas. ScottsMuff and Dawson counties will be the only ones affected. The speaker also added an emer gency clause to S. F. 41. stating that otherwise the counties affected would not be able to make the levy this years. Jeary Eill Killed. The S. F. house Indefinitely postponed 109, introduced by Senator Jeary, which provided that fees for service by special deputy should be taxed .against the' party requesting such service. Lancaster county representatives said the bill was needed, citing cases when papers were sent from one end of the county to the other to be served, the officer charging mileage for a trip he never made. Bowring of Cherry and other frmo western Nebraska opposed the mea sure on the ground. it would not work the same way out in the state. S. F. 210 was advanced without discussion or amendment. It adds to the list of organizations incorpor ated by statute, Katolicky Delnik, K. I). Catholic Workman and the Western Bohemian Catholic union, Z. C. B. J.

Joseph Weldon Bailey, former United States senator from Texas and of the last of the state's old-time silver-tongued orators and fiery political campaign ers, died in district court here Sat urday in the midst of a law suit.

April 15. Self-defense will be the plea of the O. A. Ridenour family in the slaying Sat urday night of Charles Moore, of Dunning, Neb., and his son, Frank, as a climax to a feud between the Moore and Ridenour families over the custody of three children of Frank Moore. Members of the two families en gaged in a pitched gun battle when Frank and Charles Moore went to the Ridenour farm home 22 miles south of Hershey, Neb., in an attempt to obtain possession of the children.

The children, all of whom are un der 4 years of age, have been living with their mother, Mrs. Viola Ride nour Moore, at the Ridenour home since the latter instituted divorce proceedings against her husband last August. From his hospital bed here late Monday, O. A. Ridenour, the father of Mrs. Moore, who was dangerously wounded in the gun fight, indicated that his family will plead self-defense in the slaying of the Moores. Relating to the versions of the shooting he said: "About six years ago my daughter was married to Frank Moore. We had been friends of the Moore family for 33 years. After the first son was born to my daughter, she and her husband started having trouble Had Knife, Claim. "Mrs. Moore was compelled to stay at her father-in-law's home, where she was mistreated.

Omaha Bee- ewg BUSINESS TO BE PUBLIC Geneva Indications Monday night confirmed the idea that suggestions will be presented at public sessions of the preparatory commission for a disarmament conference, which held its opening session here Monday, rather than that they would be made the subject of private conversation between the chief delegates. It was increasingly believed that the American delegation will not re frain, because of the approaching English general elections, from put ting forward any concrete sugges tions calculated to advance the cause of limitation or reduction of naval armaments.
