Duck Pond Bill Advanced in House _ Claim Made Poor Denied Use of Lakes to Hunt by Wealthy. « Lincoln, Feb. 27.—(Special.)—A bill appropriating $50,000 for purposes of sinking wells and transforming sand ! hill swamps into duck lakes to be controlled by the state was advanced to third reading in the house today following a short struggle. x Lamb of Tecumsch, the principal opponent, asserted the only way to save money was to quit spending, no matter whether the money speht was raised by fees or by taxes. Hughes of Sarpy asserted that at present there was approximately 1250,000 in the state treasury derived from collection of hunting and fishing licenses, all as a result of the build ing of the fish and game department in the last four years into one of the most effective, money-making divis ions of the state government. "The fact is that the wealthy men fmm the cities are gobbling up all the duck lakes in the state and in a few years there won't be any place where a person not a member of a club or a friend of a wealthy man can hunt unless the state mfikes more lakes and takes charge of them," Hughes said. "I think the hunters, who in recent years have had changes of heart and now seek a game warden to purchase a license instead of dodging these purchases, should receive the benefit of some of their own money. Li censes collected from automobilists go into roads: why shouldn't money col lected from hunters go Into duck lakes and for building up of hunting in Nebraska?" After disposing of this proposition, the lower houser jumped into a solu tion of a problem as to how long a fish should he before it could be taken from a river and carried up the village street to excite admiration and envy of friends. The law as It stood today made it impossible for a person with a deep regard for law to keep a fish out of water unless it was 11 Inches long. An amendment has been proposed to cut the size of the fish to nine inches. Hundreds Pay Respects at Louis J. Swoboda Funeral Hundreds of persons attended the funeral of Louis J.

Omaha o(Tlcers informed tho board that the complainant later robbed his roommate and escaped. Molendres has served his 10 months in the Doug las county Jail and his Jailer and tho sheriff urged that he be unconditional ly pardoned.

Rathman, serving one to 10 years for automo bile stealing. Riggs Case Deferred. The board was asked to take up the case of Manfred E. Biggs, whose sen tence for embezzlement was cut to two years because he helped prevent ' it wholesale jail delivery in Douglas ! county some time ago.
