LINCOLN, Jan. 12. (Special. )-The senate developed a number of speakers this morn ing for the first time. ' Economy and False Economy" 'waa the theme. Sheldon of .Pass started the oratory when he moved that the finance committee do all the jun keting to the state Institutions. During the course of the debate, Cady of Howard, Jones of Otoe, Mockett of Lancaster, Good of Nemann and Sheldon demonstrated abil ity to make good speeches. Prior to th. Introduction of this motion (iood of Nemaha moved that standing com mitters empowered to visit the state in stitutions be j til ul red to make u report by the thirtieth day of tho session. Lieu tenant' Governor McGllton held thr.t. as the rule of the senate provided that these committees, could report any time during the session that it would take a two-thirds vote to carry. This, together with Shel don's motion, went over until 11 o'clock tomorrow, when It Is to be taken up and economy Is to be the subject of discus sion. The motion of Sheldon, which Lieu tenant Governor McGllton ruled was a resolution,- follows: Whereas, It Is the sense of this senate that not a dollar more than la absolutely !Tis real winter and we're selling good, warn Leggings for., boys" and pnls ot G0o, 75c; 95c and f 1.1:5.

Sea, January IS. IV. Everything in Our Cloak Depir t ment is Selling at Clearing Prices We are quits sure that the ladies of Omaha will long remember the extraor dinary clearing sales we have held from year to year la this successful old store.

It will pay you. Sixteenth and Douglas Street, necessary for the efficient management of the state Institutions, and, Whereas, The members of the senate de pend largely upon the judgment of the finance committee as to the amount of items In the appropriation bills, and, Whereas, Said committee will be better able to discriminate between real and un necessary wants, and thereby , probably save tho state thousands of dollars; there fore, be It Resolved, That the committee on finance is hereby authorized to visit the state in stitutions when most convenient. Be it fur ther Resolved, That the members of said com mittee present an itemized account of all expenses Incurred In performance of said duty to the committee on accounts and expenditures. And, be It further Resolved, That no expense bills Incurred by any other committee will be allowed unless such committee has previously been authorlzfd by this senate to visit such in stitutions. Sheldon, in behalf of his resolution, stated two years ago he was a member of tho visiting committee instructed to investigate the state Institutions and was also a mem ber of the finance committee. It was his belief, based on his experience, that the finance committee should Investigate the institutions and get it information first handed. He talked at length about econ omy and about the money that would be saved by stopping the various committees from making Junket trips. Cady of Howard said the committee on public lands and buildings had practically no other duty as shown by the rules of the senate, and that this committee should do the visiting. He thought the finance committee had all It could attend to with out having to leave Its committee room. At the conclusion of the debate Bresee of Brown moved that all committees visit ing state institutions should pay their own expenses. This, on motion of Mockett, also went over until 11 o'clock tomorrow. Two bills that might develop numberless experts on horseology and muleology, as well as considerable litigation, are those by Jennings of Thayer and Shreck of York regulate automobiles, traction engines and machines on the public highways." Should they be enacted Into laws they will also keep the operators of such machines con tinually guessing. Senator Jennings' bill, S. F. No. 28, regu lates their operation on publio highways. The bill contains the following section: Whenever any owner or operator of a traction engine, automobile or other device propelled in whole or in part by steam, gasoline or electrical power, over, on or along any public road or highway shall overtake another person or persons going the same direction on said public road or highway with vehicles drawn by horses or other animals, they shall give warning of their approach, and when said horses or other animals exhibit fear they shall stop and obtain iiermission of the person or per sons having the horses or other animals in chajge before passing. Senator Shreck's measure, S. F. No. 29, limits the speed of automobiles to twelve miles an hour, or not In excess of any other rale of speed established by ordinance of afy city or village. Section 2 is as follows: And whenever it shall appear that any horse or mule driven or ridden by any tu-rson upon any of said streets, roads or highways Is about to become frightened or Is frightened by the approach of any automobile or vehicle, or when it shall appear that any horse or horses, mule or mules, driven by any person or persons upon any of said streets, roads or high ways are about to become frightened or are frightened by the approach of any such automobile or vehicle it shrill be the duty of the person driving pr conducting such automobile or vehicle to cause the same to come to a full stop, unless such horse or horses, mule or mules, have passed. The committee on employes reported the following employes, who were sworn in and put to work: George H. Moore, doorkeeper; F. Stre llckl, clerk; R. Kvans, bookkeeper; Claude Stout, cleric, Clyde Uuslie, messenger; K. J. Farr. clerk: Louisa Davis, copyist; R. B. Smith, clerk; R. A. Laverty. clerk; A. C. Goodwin, copyist; George Williams, messenger: Austin NelUon, copyist; Arthur Wray. clerk; L. H. Aurand. clerk; Mrs. Oeorgle Cline, copyist; A. Murphy, steno grapher, as substitute for J. J. Murphy, resigned. Mrs. W. H. Sutton was selected to fur nish a Journal of the proceedings at $3.50 a day, she to furnish all material except machines. . . The appointment of W. H. Askwlth as commander of the Grand Island Soldiers' Home was confirmed by the senate In executive session by unanimous vote. The name was presented to the senate yester day, but under the rules action was de ferred until today. ' This led some Irre sponsible newspapers to say the aenate was opposed to confirming the appoint ment. The senate convened at 10 o'clock and ad journed at noon until 10 tomorrow.

Tho Invitation" of the house, however, was not referred to by Congressman Burkett In his message, still the members understand from outside sources he has been Intending to come back to Nebraska before the day set for the election of a senator, January 17. While there was some desultory talk among anti-Burkett men of getting Burkett on the carpet and plying him with em barrassing and Irritating questions when he came to address the house, the matter is being kept quiet now and If this pro gram is to be carried out Us sponsors are acting; with discretion in not discussing It.

GOSSIP AMONO TIIE LEGISLATORS Douglas Cnnutr Members Formulat ing Many Bills. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Jan. 1?. (Special.) House roll No. 60. by Barnes of Douglas, seeks to hold responsible a rubllc spet.ker uttering slan derous statements. The offense Is made a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of from $5 to $100 or Imprisonment for thirty days, or both, at the court's discretion. Under the present law a person may slanderously arraign another person In a public speech and escape penal correction, but if a news paper publishes those same Sufferances the newspaper may be held responsible for 111 el. Under this bill the man who uttered the Inflamed speech would be made equally guilty with the , newspaper printing his speech, although the penalty attached un der this bill Is Insignificant as compared to that possible against a newspaper convicted of libel. Dodge of Douglas Introduced house roll No. SS, which provides for the purchase of voting machines In Omaha, South Omah.t and Lincoln, or, as the measure specifies, In cities of 26.000 population or more. The bill contemplates the purchase of voting machines for those districts, precincts or wards where they are needed, the authority of a majority of the city council or county commissioners being first necessary. An Important provision Is that the governor shall ippoint a voting machine board whose function It shall be to have charge of the selection and use of the machines after the city or county officials have author ized their purchase. It shall devolve upon this board to say what type of machine shall be bought and thus take out of the hands of the city or county officials any possible temptation to favor, for any con sideration whatever, this or that machine. Some objection Is raised to this feature of the bill on the ground that a governor-appointed board Is a blow at local self-government, but Mr. Dodge meets this criti cism by saying that It wtll tend to keep the board out of politics and secure men of the highest business and social standing and qualification, and he points, for ex ample, to Omaha's Park board, declaring that no city ever had a better board and 4H.33 (JwgyiRatnenbar tba Full Jfai " captive Vtromo Quinine Curw Cole taOoa Day, oCTa 2 Dy$) that It never has been accused of being or dabbling In politics. Wilson of Tawnee, chairman of the house committee on finance, ways and means, proposes to do his part toward carrying out the spirit of economy prevailing in the house this winter. He Introduced today the bills for paying salaries and Incidentals of the representatives, and they amount to $13,000 less than two years ago. The salary bill appropriates $SO,000. and the Incidentals bill $20.(00. Two years ago the two bills amounted to $113,000. A gavel made by Nebraska students In the mechanical department of the Univer sity of Nebraska from Nebraska wood will be presented to Speaker Rouse for use throughout the remainder of this session. Representative Davis of Buffalo recalled today on learning of the death of the late Governor Garber that It was Just twenty six years ago that Governor Garber went out of the office of chief executive and Governor-elect Nance took his seat. Repre sentative Davis was at that time Just en tering upon his first term ss a member of tha house of representatives. Miss Rose Sweetman of Omaha has been appointed a stenographer for the house. The house judiciary committee proposes to Introduce an amendment to the present laws governing the purchase of legislative supplies to obviate the red tape of buying everything through the secretary of state after the session has begun. The amend ment will provide that the house be allowed to buy Its own supplies directly without going through the secretary of state's office, thus saving a vast amount of time. Much time already has been lost because of the contingency In the present law. A Joke was turned on the genial reading clerk of the house, Clyde Barnard today. Some member Introduced a resolution t have steps taken to stop a leak In the cell ing of an upper room. Mr. Barnard wrote this note to Chief Clerk Wall: ir wall: Please notify F.nton (commis sioner of public lands and buildings) that the roof over the engrossing snd enrollin committee room Is leaking badly In accord- nce with a motion or ine nouse. The note found Its way to Mr. Eaton, who replied: Mr. Wall: If roof is leaking In accordance with motion of the house we will have to let It leak, as this department does not wish to subvert In any mnnner the pleas ures of that honorable body. However, it will be attended t at once. Members of the Omaha delegation have under course of construction a now city charter for Omaha, and the work will be rushed to completion as soon as possible. It is the desire of the delegation that thoeo In Omaha who have any suggestions to make or anything to say regarding the charter notify the delegation at once and come to Lincoln. The cafe room at the Lincoln hotel has been turned over to the delegation and the members will be glad tt, meet the citizens of Omnha any evening. The delegation Is considering today the matter of doing away with the Board of Public Works and abolishing the office or city treasurer, changing the law so that the county treasurer can do the work here tofore done by the city treasurer. It Is upon such questions ns these that the Omaha people are Invited to come down and express their oplfilon. These visits should be made early In the session to avoid the rush of work that la sure to come on later. The bill Introduced In the house by Jouvenat of Boone, providing for a change In the game and fish laws. Is for the pur pose of taking the Missouri river out of control of the state Insofar as fishing Is concerned, allowing snv one to fish In the river at any time. Citizens of Towa and Missouri are allowed to fish In this river at all seasons of the year, and It Is to place Nebrnskans on a level with the people of the neighboring states that the bill was in troduced. Tt has been the custom for fisher men of towa to catch fish In the Mlssoun on the Iowa side pnd then shin them Into Nobraska, while the home people were not sl'owed the use of nets. The same bill was Introduced last year, but was riVfpnted. members of the legislature believing that It wns unconstitutional. The bill does not provide there shall be fishing In any other river except the Missouri. LEGISLATORS TAKE RKCE8S South Dakota Members Take a Rest I'ntil Tuesday. PIERRE3, S. D., Jan. 12.
