I believe tho people demand thin, and I for one will never shirk a duty that seems so clear to me." Nutlonal Commlttcmen Schneider, speak Ing of the senatorial situation, said that the legislature had at least thirty working days before It and. he saw no good reason for predicting u complete deadlock to tho end of tho session. "Wlillo I admit the situation U very serious," ho added, "I do not believe that tho republicans arc going to fall In the Important duty of sending two rood republicans to tho senate. Should the' legislature adjourn without an elec tlon It would be nn awful blow to repub licanism In our stutc." In this expression Oencral Manager Hid well of tho Ulkhoru, who Is tlm guest of Mr. Schuclder, heartily concurred. Oovjitor Dietrich was receiving congra'- illations on his telegram sent to Private Bccrotary Lindsay from Chicago, wherein ha advised tho leglslnturo to appropriate money for tho construction of buildings suitable to tho needs of tho commonwealth. (Inratlmm of Nl'iMill-t(n Tenure. Tho I'ost this morning said that Senators Allen of Nebraska and Duller of North Carolina would go out of ofllco tomorrow, leaving tho populist pnrty without a leg to stund nn. As n matter of fact, Senats.- Allen occupied n wholy different position from that of Senator Uutlcr. Allcu U filling a vacancy by appointment of Gov ernor Poynter, while llutlor ceases to he a senator becauao tho term for which ho was elected expires at noon tomorrow. There has boon considerable discussion over tho (ideation when Senator Allen's term docs expire. Ily members of the senate committee on privileges nnd elections It Is generally admitted that Allen will con tlnuo to bo a senator until tho Nibranka legislature adjourns, should It fail to dp- point his successor. Tho cosu of Samuel Smith, senator from Maryland, seems to bo on all fours with tho Allen case, ns tho lawyers oay. Smith was senator from Maryland from Mareh -1, la03, to March 3, 1815, and from December 17, 1S2: to March 3, 1833, On tho expira tion of Smith's first term, March 3, ISO?, the legislature of Maryland, not having elected his successor, ho was appointed liy tho governor to fill the vacancy until tho next meeting of tho legislature. These facts Smith communicated to tho senate nnd asked for a rullilg on tho question whether ho was entitled to hold his Beat until the legislature elected. The senate, by vote, held Hint Smith was entitled to his seat during tho seislon of the legisla ture, unless tho legislature should fill such vacancy by the appointment of a senator. DUpnnra of Allen' ItlkliU. This caio would seem to dispose of Allen's right to hold until tho legislature ad journed, but now another question Is agl- tatlng eminent lawyors of the senate: Supposing the legislature should adjoin n without electing 11 successor to Senator Allen, would he bo untlltled to recognition on the floor of tho Kenato in the event of nn extra session of congress? Senator llurrows, who In nil probability will uiiccced Senator Chandler on the com mittee on privileges and elections, ad mitted that It was n knotty problem and could not bo answered hastily, ns It was clearly the Intention of tho fathers of the constitution to 1-avo tho stato always rep resented In the upper bnu.ch of tho na tional legislature. "When tho question Is presented to the fccnato we will take cognizance- of it," said Mr. llurrows. "There Is no good reason why wc should cross a bridge until we come to It." Senator Allen Is In a quundnry ns to his status, although he believed his torm ter minates with tho adjournment of the legls laturo of Nobrnskn. I.Iiiii'h Mi nrr for lirimlH.

FOX HOPES FOR PARDON I'enltentlnry Heroic IMrr 1'lKliter Is Likely to (let l-'rcedom nn Ills ItiMTiird. LINCOLN, March 3-(Speclal Telegram.) Ilecuusu of his earnest, heroic nnd un selfish nld of the members of tho Lincoln Are department In lighting the three big fires which have assailed the stato peni tentiary since his llfo there began, nltie years ngo, Nicholas Fox, a convict from South Omahn, who is serving a life term for murder, may ho pardoned shortly. At the fire a year ago, and also during tho conflagration of six years before that, I'ox made himself conspicuous for tho val uable assistance which ho rendered the fire men. When he was n free man Fox hod himself been a fireman nnd ho stepped Into n pluco In the ranks ot the trained flro fighters and did his pnrt as naturally nnd effectively as the oldest man among them. As a consequence the members of the Lin coln II ro department nnd tho prison oftl clalH havo always felt 11 warm regard for Fox. Hut It was In last Friday morning's lire that tho convict, now 47 years of age, per formed tho deeds that may result In hln liberation. The location and nature ot the blaze necessitated some most daring and dangerous work In scaling walls and towers, and fox led the way In each new move. He went lie ml over hand up a rope along a wall, lnsfdo of which everything was blaz ing, nnd helped the firemen to positions by his 'Bide,' from which they manipulated the strenins of water that saved tho cast cell house. When It was nil over the Lincoln firemen drew up a formal petition, which every member of tho department Is circulating and furthering to the limit of his ability. It asks tho governor to free Fox In con- tlderntlon of his heroic work at three fires and of his honor In disdaining to avail him self of Innumerable chances to escape whllo thus employed. Fox was the only convict to render any assistance lit the fire Friday morning. Time nfter time he could have vnnlshed unnoticed outside the walls.

Arthur Twldale, tho young man who was employed In tho Hastings post- olllce, nnd wns arrested by Inspectors Swift nnd Sinclair on tho charge of having robbed the malls, but was released on bond until the term of the United States court, has been placed under arrest ngaln. After being released on bond, young Twldale went to Kansas City, where ho stopped at the St. Charles hotel under the nnrac of Scott. Friday afternoon Twldalo went to tho Mrunswlck bowling alley In Kansas City and while hanging around no ticed that Dr.F. E.

Twldalo waited for his oppor tunity and then walked off with tho vest nnd Its valuables, He went to his room, where he transferred tho roll of bills to his own pocket nnd then rolled the vest into a package, took It to 1111 express ofllco nnd addressed It to himself at Omaha. As soon as Dr. Grant missed his vest the police were nottlfled of tho theft and 11 description wns given o' Twldale, who was under suspicion.

McCarthy, Penalty for Kidnaping i'no Cudnhy abduction has brought tho at tention of uiHiiy people throughout tho United States not usually interested in tho law to the lack of provision In the criminal codes of many stntes for tho suitable pun ishment for kidnaping. In n groat ninny stntes where the legislatures aro In session special attention has been given to the prep aration ot bills making kidnaping a more serious ottenso in Iho eye of the law than It has been heretofore. In Missouri a law has been enacted this winter making the forcible removal of n minor from tho custody of his or her par ents or guardians a capital crime. In Ne brnska there Is nt present no law ngalnst kidnaping, although there is one against child stealing that Is not considered suf ficiently elastic in Its application nml dras- le in its penalty. Several bills, however, aro pending In tho Nebraska legislature and If Riiy one of them becomes n law tho carrying away of a minor n this state for ransom will be one of the worst crimes on the calondar. There is as much diversity in the penal- les prescribed as In the language of the bills. Whllo nearly all of tho bills declare tho crime a felony, somo of the authors would hnng a man guilty ot tho offense, while others would let him off with a term n tho penitentiary. Owing to the diversity of the kidnaping bills pending, ono of which Is almost certain o become n law. n number of well-known Oinuha people have been Intcrvlow on the subject. Their expressions aro ns follows: Judge II. y. llaker I think that tho greatest possible discretion should bo placed in the hands of the trial Judgo. Kldnapjng, so-called.

Cowln Tharo aro many degrees of tlm erlino of kidnaping. AVhere a person Is kidnaped for tho purpose of extorting money I think that tho minimum penalty should be ten years fn the penitentiary, thu maximum belnx Imprisonment for life. In cases where the person kidnaped in seriously .injured the peimlty should he death. Let tho other degrees of kidnaping be governed by milder laVs, hut whero a child is stolen for tho purposo of extorting money from the parent tho penalty can hardly bo too severe. E. J. Cornish There has been much thoughtless talk concerning n bill for tho puiiliihmeiit of kldnupers and I nm but prUed to hear that people advecnto death punishment for such criminals. The yollcy ot a law of tl Is kind should bo considered. Death may ho the punishment kidnaping merits, but in Imposing such a penalty tho lawmakers put tho crlmo on a par with murder in the llrst degree and mnko It nertnln thut a stolen child will never ho returned to Its parents in enso tho kid napers fall to get tho ransom. The killing or maiming of n child wculd not lay the nlmlnals subject to nny grealor penalty than the original theft and there would bo no reason for their allowing a victim to escape nnd to3tlfy ngalnnt them. It Is known that the severity rif n penalty dos not keep persons from committing crlmi. Thero Is no reason to believe that kidnap- lug would stop bocauso of a death penally, hut It is reasonable to believe that crim inals would commit murder to cover up other crimes If the punishment to which they would lay themselves liable were no greater. In my opinion Nebraska nnd every other utnto should havo n law providing a Mivero penalty for klduuplug and a much more severe punlshmont for tho maiming or killing of victims. Such a law would bo tome protection to unfortunates who fall Into tho hands of crlmlnnls and are held for ransom. E. M. nartlett When the Cudahy crime was perpetrated I said the guilty parties, If apprehended, ought to bo strung up, I nm still of that opinion. I think the law ought to provide tho death penalty for Kid imping for ransom. There can bo no greater offense against society nnd good order than taking children from their parents and holding them for ransom.

I can see that nil of them Incline to tho theory that Murv died a natural dentil, nnd they don't want to do' any unnecessary work. Hut for my part I'm not satlsiled with the wny mutters look, so I bctlevo It to be my duty to sift It to the bottom at once." The prlvute detective employed by tho Peterson brothers wishes his tiiimo sup pressed, ns ho fears thut otherwlso Ills till clency would bo hampered, lie anld: "Since the llrst tiny or two of this Investigation I have hoard nothing of the burglary theory, hut In my opinion nothing lias developed to excludo that possibility. 1 understand it iioa been ruled out for two reasons tlrst, bo cuuso all the doors and windows were locked with Improved locks; and, second. becausa nothing was missed from the house. Neither of these reasons Is teunbh, to my wny of thinking. As to tho locks, thero Is not a doorlock made today that wouldn't yield la three minutes' work on the part of n skillful burglar, nnd Dm fuel that nothing whs missed from the house Is 11H easily explained. Nuiiort Hie lliirulnr Theory. "Suppose a burglar while prowling through tho house should suddenly bo con fronted by the domestic. Her impulse would bo to screum and expose lilm, nnd his work would be to quiet her at nil costs, It Is generally admitted that any liurglur who Is despernto enough to break Into n pllvnte holme In quest ot plunder Is des perate enough to commit murder. "Seeing the woman lying dead or dying before him ho would have been foolish In deed to have curried cither money or valu ables from the house, ns either, would have aided the detectives In tracing both crimes to him. No, he would have reconsidered his burglarious Intention and would liuvo left everything undisturbed in order to havo diverted suspicion from him. "Another fact that goes to bolster the h.irglar theory Is that the habits of the master of the house, C. .1. Collins, aro well known throughout the neighborhood. Ho was known to be a wealthy bachelor, living nlonu In the house with his housekeeper, and It was known thut both servnnt and master made a practice of going out Sun duy afternoon. Sunday afternoon, then would 'have been a natural tlmo for the place to bo attacked by burglars. 1 dun say that Mary Peterson was murdered by burglars, but die these facts to show ou that such a contingency was not Impossible or even Improbable." The inquest In the Peterson enso will bo resumed at 9:30 this morning, nnd the llrst witness on the stand will be Dr. W. It, Lavender. Ho will testify ns to the result of his chemical nnnlysls of tho stomach and microscopic examination of tho kidneys nnd spleen. He says he knows tho cause of the woman's death.

II. Jcnks I think kidnaping Is ono of tho most awful crimes In tho world nud I am certainly much in favor of tho death penalty. John O. Wharton I favor a very htrlct law, nothing less than Imprisonment for life with corporal punishment of thirty stripes or more on the bare back eveiy thirty days, booth Is too good for kid napers and their punishment should be as long-drawn out as possible. Judgo E. Wakoluy A severe punishment should he Imposed In nil cases, and In ug gravuted cases, whero Injury to life or person Is threatened, tho punishment should bo equal to that of second degreo murder. t Kov. A. C. Hirst I don't know of any better punishment for kidnaping than Im prisonment for life. Kev. E. F. Trcfz-rl feel that only capital punlshmont would be adequate for tho crime, but It seems hardly probablo thut a Jury could be obtained which would con vict a kidnaper, ufter tho child had been returned to Its parents. The next best thing would ho a severe law providing a long term of Imprisonment, not less than fifteen years, part of It to ho served at hard labor and part In solitary confinement. If such a thing is posslblo, I believe tho law should bo so drawn lhat It would bo Impos sible for a governor to pardon a kidnaper Hcv. C. S.

Tho sentence should be rigorous enough to deter nny ono from stenllng the children of any family, rich. or poor. Rev. C, D. Allen. JrV I do not favor tho death penalty, because that Is too cosy a way of escaping punishment. Kidnapers should be sentenced to terms of Imprison ment of varying lengths, according to tho enormity of tho crime.
