Decisive Vote Ends Two Days of De

Plan Object of Attack
Lincoln. Neb.. March 6. Rejection
of the gasoline tax exemption bill by
a decisive vote of 55 to 3S brought
two days of almost continuous debat
ing to a close this afternoon.
This final defeat of the measure
had been forecast Thursday after
noon when opponents of the meas
ure exhibited enough strength to add
an amendment extending the exemp
tion privilege to gasoline used ex
clusively on city streets.
The tide of sentiment seemed to
change this morning, however, when
the house reversed itself and elim
inated the amendment. For a time
i it appeared that the measure would
pass the house in its original form.
Rumor of Changes Heard.
Rumors were circulated shortly be
fore noon that trades had been made
I which assured certain opponents
shifting over In support of the bill.
Representative Harry A. Foster or
Omaha, who made the motion to re
consider the amendment, denied that
the move was the result of a threat
that exemption supporters would
fight the 20 thousand dollar Ak-Sar-Ben
appropriation.
He made it plain to the members
i that he was opposed to the bill, but

TWO I0WANS DIE IN HOME FIRE
Mason City, la.. March 6. Tru
man A. Potter, former Mason City
mayor, and William Hayes, former
county clerk of court, were suffocated
when fire gutted the Potter home ear
ly Friday.
Their bodies were recovered from
an upstairs bedroom shortly after 6
a. m. Mrs. Potter, who had been ill
for several days, was staying at the
nome of a daughter, Mrs. Frank
Pierce.
Fire Chief Dan Shire said the fire
originated in a living room immed
iately beneath the bedroom in which
the two men were killed. He said
the blaze probably started from a
cigar or cigaret stub.
Position of the bodies indicated
that Potter had been roused from
his sleep by the fire and had ap
proached within 3 feet of a window
before he was overcome. Hayes was
apparently overcome while he slept.
Potter had long been identified
with politicis in Iowa and was in
terested in railroad, lumber and
utility companies.
