U A. WfcUSU, Local Forecaster, TARE UP OMAHA WATER BILL Dodge MeMtre Narrowly Escape Strangu lation in Committee. FINALLY REPORTED TO GENERAL FILE I.ee aad names Show I at the Danger' oas anal t ajnst Fentnres of the Measure and Aalmns We ll led tt. (Continued from First Page.) man rotes for the expenditure of any sum of money he had no right to do un der the charter he Is guilty 04 malfeasance In office and can be removed. It Is the same with the mayor. How is It with this bill? There is not one provision or safe guard of the Interest of the city with re gard to the action of these men. It does not provide that they shall have a roll call even In letting a contract for $1,000, 000. It does not provide that they are personally responsible for anything. It provides that these men have the authority tn accept any proposition that may come from these appraisers, and If they do not accept that they may make a new contract with the waterworks company without re gard to the action of the mayor and council, the represents tlvea of the people. Those who drew the bill go on the presumption that those elected by the people are reckless and cannot be trusted, but you must trust the man appointed by the governor. They simply rut uo a bond and go Into office and do as they please. Another Scheme In BUI. "There la another scheme these gentle men provided when they started out, that all the employes should be under the rules and regulations of civil service re form. The chief engineer of this scheme, R. B. Howell, Is desirous of being chief water commissioner. They have a young man who Is at the head of the board at present who has given fairly good satis faction, so far as I have heard. They slip In a provision that while civil ser vice shall apply to all the employes, it shall apply to all except the water com mlssloner. They reserve the right to put Howell Into that plnce and at any salary they may see fit." "We have a legal department for the city of Omaha that Is perfec tly able to take care of any of the legal business of the city They do not trust the legal department of the city, but reserve the right to employ legal counsel. Can it be that they antici pate that which would not be in the city's Interests and therefore want their own at torney so they may defend themselves against the rights of the city? They are. In fact. In this law, not curtailed In any of the powers they may desire to use or any action that they may take. I believe that this Is one of the most danegorus bills to the city of Omaha ever introduced Into any lawmaking body." Politics of Measure. Representative Barnes, In opposing tha bill, said: "We have In our city .two fac tions called the machine and anti-machine. Four years ago they, by a trick, gave the authority to appoint the Fire and Police board to the governor, to take it out of politics. When the governor appointed that police board every republican member waa an antl-machlne man, and that police board used the fire and police departments with great effect to elect the men who were sent down here two jars ago, and they have used every effort to take the authority out of the hands of the city council and mayor. The same thing Is true of the water board. that was appointed under the bill passed at the last session. We ,dld not have any water works last year and have pone now for the water board to manage, and prob ably will not have for the next two years, and yet the dty of Omaha has paid out about 310,000 In salaries to this water board, and for what When we get water works will be time enough to employ a board. Now they come here and ask for mora power for this water board. They coma here and ask that the people of Omaha be not permitted to run their own business." The fact that the Omaha raembera In favor of the bill were unable to meet the effective arguments offered against it had great weight with the committee. True, Mr. Dodge did promise the committee he could, if he choose, meet every argument Iak and Barnes made and would do so If tha committee would let the bill live until it got back to tho house. HOt8K PASSES Bill, NIHBER 05E Measure Is One to Permit Ulvlns; Surety Bonds. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 25. (Special Telegram.) The house this morning passed the first bill Introduced this session. The bill is none other than H. R. 1. by Bums of Lancaster, drawn by tha attorney general, providing for personal surety bonds for state officers. Cassell of Otoe explained his vote by saying he waa opposed to any personal bond. Bar too said he voted, for the bill since it con tained an option. Cassell cast the only negative vote. H. R. 21. by Roberts, was passed. It pro vides that where patents have been or may be Issued to a person who has died pre vious to the Issuance of such patent It shall operate to vest tha tltla In the heirs, devisees or assignees of the deceased pat entee. The official endorsement of Commis sioner of Public Lands and Buildings Eaton and Attorney General Brown is given to thla bill. At this time Ernst of Johnson Introduced a resolution to send a committee of three, with a like committee from the senate, to the Kansas state penitentiary to Investi gate and report on the binding twine plant with a view of getting information useful to the Nebraska legislature in passing on the pending bill to establish a plant at the Nebraska penitentiary. Gerdea of Richardson deprecated the wis. dom of incurring the expense of sending the committee. Ernst supported the resolution, saying It would pay the state to send the legislators. In the course of his remarks he said the Kansas plant bad last year turned Into the state treasury 368,000 and many more thou, sands of dollars Into the pockets of the farmers. Dodge of Douglas. Jackson of Antelope, Junkln of Gosper, Wilson of Pawnee, Jonea of Polk spoke for the resolution. McAllister of Deuel, while favoring state binding twine plant, opposed the res olution, advising against the expense aa a useless matter. The resolution passed and the speaker appointed aa the committee Ernat, Bacon of Dawson and Hoare of Platte. The house resolved Itself Into committee of tha whole with Clarke of Douglas In the chair. H. It. 61, by Warner of Lancaster, to reassess all real property April 1, 1906, and every fourth year thereafter; to allow the State Board of Equalisation to distinguish between classes of property and providing county boards shall not make levies until the atate board haa made lta equalization. These last two points are included In ac cordance with the governor's recommenda tion in his recent message. An amendment by Dodge of Douglas, to knock out the first provision, relating to taxation of real property, waa considered. Dodge supported the amendment on grounds of economy. McMuilen favored tha main bill because ha said It would readjust many bad assess ments, and Douglas of Rock supported It ss tha very best thing that could be dons to equalise all assessments. "If soma counties say that under tha last f; assessment their property was listed very ow, that Is all tha more reason why this bill should pasa and all the property be re assessed." said Douglas. "It would not be right to put on the Board of Equalisation the task of readjusting all these assess ments. The board Is not able to do all that work The matter of expense, Douglas said, was not to he considered. Iforton of Keya Paha spoke for the Podg amendment. Perry of Furnaa spoke for the amendment. Roberts of Dodge waa against the amendaent. After all the debate the committee re ported progress on the bill. At the afternoon session In committee of the whole the Warner bill was again taken up. Foster of Douglas was In the chair. Dodge offered an amendment, drawn in consultation with County Assessors Reed of Douglas and Miller of Lancaster counties, providing that the county assessors shall make up the tax list In these two counties Instead of the county clerks. Kyd of Gage offered an amendment to make It counties of 30.00, so ss to take In Gage county. Douglas of Rock opposed departing from the unit system and thought It unwise to adopt either amendment. Dodge of Douglas ssld he waa sorry ha had not made himself clear. He said If thla amendment was adopted it would save the salaries of seven clerks in Douglas county, a total of 35,000.

Mora time was then taken for considera tion of the bill. Horton of Keya Paha, author of H. R 1(. a tax sale certificate bill, made the mo tion which killed the measure. H. R. 85, by Warner of Lancaster, a pro posed constitutional amendment as a con current resolution to elect all state officers at the same biennial election and Increase the number of supreme court Judges from three to six, came next In the hopper.

SENATE TAKES IP DIVORCE BILL Judiciary Comaalttea Opposes, but Mockett Gets It Considered. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Jan. 25.-(SpeclaX) Mockett of Lancaster won a temporary victory over the Judiciary committee thia morning In that the senate voted to place hla divorce bill on general file after tho committee had recommended that It be indefinitely post poned. The Judiciary committee then, over Mockett's protest, carried a motion to have tha bill discussed at once. After an inter esting debate on the merits of the bill, Mockett secured tha passage of a motion to make tha bill a special order for tomor row afternoon. The bill, as Introduced by Mockett, was endorsed by the Stste Bar association, and Its object ta to make It more difficult for a person to secure a divorce. That portion of tha bill debated most thla morning was as follows: No person shall be entitled to rilvnrra for any cause arising In this state who has not had had actual residence in this state for at least one year next before bringing suit for divorce, with a bona fide Intention of making this state his or her permanent home. No person shall be entitled to a di vorce for any cause arising out of this state unless the petitioner or defendant shall have resided within this state for at least two years next before bringing suit for di vorce with a bona fide intention of making this state his or her permanent home. Tucker of Richardson. Epperson of CIsy and Wall of Sherman, members of the Ju diciary committee, led tha fight In opposi tion to the section, tha fight beginning when Wall moved to make tha time of residence before applying for divorce sis months in stead of one year. This waa votsd down after some debate. In his talk against the bill Tucker said tha present divorce law was gTod enough and he believed there was no lawyer who would assist a person to get a divorce whom he believed had come to the state merely for that purpose, end he believed the Judges were sufficiently hon orable to prevent Nebraska from becoming the abiding place of persons who come here seeking divorce. Tucker also spoke, he aid. In the Interest of the "rural districts." In his talks In favor of the bill Mockett said he believed the lawyera opposing the bill were "unconsciously" Influenced In their own Interest. Fries offered an amendment which, after a lengthy debate, was carried to strike out the part of the section providing that no person eould secure a divorce for an of fense committed outside of the state until after a residence of two years. Just be fore noon Mockett moved, and the mo tion prevailed, to make the hill a special order for tomorrow afternoon. 8. F. 3, by Feghtol, providing that county surveyors shall act as county engineers, to pass on bridges and other public work done for a county was passed, as waa 8.

SEEKS TO STOP FOOT BALI, GAMES Hamilton County Member Introduees Drastic Measure. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 25.-(Sperlal.)-No more foot ball In Nebraska that Is If the. Cun ningham bill Introduced this morning In the house passes. Considerable amusement was Indulged In by some of the members when Cunningham Introduced this measure, but he treats the matter In all serious ness, and so do a number of his colleagues. Tho bill simply proposes to wipe foot ball off the sporting map of Nebraska, to out law It entirely and ultimately brands aa a felon any person guilty of engaging In this sport, wliJch almost vies with the great national game of base ball in Its hold upon the American public. Cunning ham would fine the violator of this act not less than MO nor more than 3100, or put him ,Jn the county prison for not less than thirty nor more than ninety days for the first offense and for the second offense make him subject to a sentence In the state penitentiary of from one to two year a "Life and limb are more precious than all the amusement possible to be derived from the playing of this or any other game," asserts the corpulent representa tive from Hamilton county In defense of his bill. "Not a foot ball season passes bill we read of bright, vigorous young men being killed at this brutal sport and others being maimed, but If one ltfe only were) lost In a season there would still exist cause for the suppression of the game." As a nuitter of furt, Cunningham has been prodded -ever slnce'last session by certain persons to Introduce this hill. He had It drawn and ready for Introduction two years ago, but some hitch at the last moment kept the bill out of the hopper. The bill this time is even more stringent than two years ago. Ernst of Johnson Introduced hla, bill, ss predicted. In the house to regulate the number of licensed saloons In towns and cities of the state. It provides that one saloon for even' 300 people In. towns under 1.000 population and one for every 400 peo ple in towns and cities of greater popula tion. The independent liquor men, aa classed against the big brewers, are back ing the bill In connection with the strong temperance element of Johnson county. Omaha probably would feel no effects from this bill. Jones of Polk, fuslonlst, Is not one of the least loquacious members In the house. He has talked enough to display the fact that he baa a remarkably well developed sense of Justice. He gives evidence of being a painstaking and attentive worker, but to day he was tripped up. Horton of Keya Paha had made a motion to have Indefi nitely postponed one of his own bills. Bounding to his feet aa soon aa he heard the words "Indefinitely postponed," the Justice-loving member from Polk exclaimed, with his faithful Index finger simed at the speaker: "Mr. Speaker, I object to such a disrespectful manner. Every member la A paper is read by four people on an- average. If 120,000 people read your advertisement in the Bee you are bound to increase your business. Telephone 23S and a Bee Ad man will call and talk it over. I YOUR GROCER SELLS IT THE YEAR 'ROUND J .NONE SUCHMINCE MEAT i Ib 2-Pl. 10c Packages tit. List of Yalotbli Pnnlans.

M J entitled to a fair hearing, and t don't think It Is right for snother member to seek to kill a bill without first giving It a hearing before this house." Horton's facf rapidly began to take on the expression of Injured Innocence and the members burst Into a roar of laughter. The champion of Justice from Polk stood erect at his desk and looked In blank as tonishment from one member to another. Presently someone Informed him that Mr. Horton was the author of the bill he had recommended for Indefinite postponement. Muxen Introduced a bill in the house to day to make the South Omaha Board of Fire and Police Commissioners an elective instead of an appointive body and that the election shall take rlace at the regular city election time. It (does not. however, legis late out of office the members of the pres ent board until their t-erms shall have iM-cn completed. Asked the origin of the bill, Muxen said It was presented to him by "some of the leading" citizens of South Omaha and had good barkirg. He thought the members of the present board were op posed to It. Speaker Rouse does not always hear or understand Just what a rdember says when he makes a motion, but It is not because he does not want to. The speaker Is noth ing if not a hard worker and he is an ar dent believer In the maxim. "Never put off until tomorrow what may be done today Today at noon, when I.e of Douglas, who had somo Important committee work press ing him, moved that the house do now ad journ, the speaker put the motion that the house take a recess until 2 p. m. Lee did not come to until after the motion was carried and then went up to the speaker's desk and Informed him of his mistake. "Too late now," said Rouse. Should 8. F. 108 become a law. Senator Tucker of Richardson county says, the re sult will be the selection of grand mid petit Jurors without favoritism and with out reference to politics. For that reason he will make a great fight to secure the enactment of the bill Into s law. Senator Tucker would change the present way of selecting Jurors and vest the power of se lection In the hands of the election can vassing board. Under the bill the can vassing board is to be the Jury commis sioners. The bill was drafted upon sug gestions concurred In by the Richardson county Bar association. The Mockett divorce bill, which was the subject of a lengthy debate In the senate this morning and which has been made a special order for tomorrow. In substance is as follows: The measure provides that no person shall be entitled to a divorce for any cause arising In tills state who has not had actual residence In the state for at. least one year next before bringing the suit, with the Intention of making the state a perma nent home; also that no person shall be entitled to 11 divorce for any cause aris ing out of the state unless tjie petitioner or defendant shall have resided within the state for at least two vears next before bringing the suit, with the buna tide inten tion of making it bis heme. It Is further provided In the measure that a bill for divorce, alimony or maintenance may be exhibited by a wife in her own name, as well as by a husband; and In all cases the respondent may answer such pe tition or bill without oath. No person shall be entitled to a vote unless the defendant shall have been personally served with pro cess, if within this state, or with per sonal notice duly proved and appearing of record, if out of this state, or unless de fendant shall have entered an appearance In the case: but If It shall appear to the satisfaction of the court that the petitioner does not know the address or residence of the defendant, and has not been able to ascertain either after reasonable and due Inquiry and search continued for six months tjie court or Judge In vacation may authorize notice by publication.
