said tha Burlington, for Instance, could
not live on the tralllo that originated and
ended In Omaha and hence terminal taxa
tion was a fallacy. He attacked the bill
and the motives back of it 'as selfish and

a mercenary standpoint, but did not go

Seeks to Befog Issne.
Mr. Pollard followed Mr. Greene. The
burden of his address, which was brief,
was the 'prime argument urged two years
ago against the proposition, namely, that
a terminal taxation law for cities would
divert taxes from the country districts. He
cited an . array of figures showing what
taxes the railroads now paid and said that
another .tax cpuld not be levied without
Injuring the. rural districts.
Mr. 'Clancey let the cat entirely out of
th bag when, he spoke and proved that the
railroads' scheme is the same as two years
ago, to pound on 'that one argument of
injuring vthe country districts and thus
array the rural membership of the legis
lature against tha bill.
Jones of Polk led Mr. Clancey into a lit
tle trap which created considerable amuse

"Youaay. Mr. Clanceyi that If this ter

'Oh, no,"' rejoined Clancey.
"Then." replied Jones, "it s Just a mat

"ThaVs' all," asserted Clancey.
"Thn don't you get away and let

was taken, ten members were absent and
these members believe a' snap Judgment
was taken because o f their absence. To
night Cady, Fries, Ollllgan, Williams and
others returned to Lincoln and upon learn
ing what had been don, they did not hesi
tate to express their disapproval. '
It is the first real split In, s. .session that
has been noted for the good feeling ex
isting among the members. It Is asserted
by some of those who were absent that
the committee was th work of th Ju
diciary committee, Inasmuch as three of
that committee are on the sifting commit
tee. Whether there was any outside
power behind the Judiciary commute none
of the members cared to say, .but It was
pretty well decided tonight to attempt to
morrow to name the time when the com

adjournment.
Use Ax on Amendment.
Nebraska legislatures long ago have dem
onstrated their antipathy for a proposed
constitutional amendment and for the last
two sessions It has been popular to Jook
askance at anything in the form of an
appropriation, so when Clarke's bill appro
priating $100,000 for the erection of a state
historical building and three proposed
amendments by Jackson of Antelope were
killed In the house this afternoon no sur
prise was occasioned. But it was the oc
casion for considerable surprise when two
Joint resolutions, by Poster of Douglas,
proposing amendments, got through with a
recommendation for passage.
Jackson's bills provided, respectively, for
the salaries of the members of the supreme
court to be fixed by th legislature, the
court to consist of seven members and
th creation of courts by the legislature
Inferior to the supreme court. Foster's
measures contemplate the Investment of
th permanent school fund In state se
curities as" well as others, and the second
bill empowers cities to make their own
charters.
The last measure is a matter of great
interest to Omaha people, as well as ethers
In 'the state, but particularly to Oma
nans who have experienced such great dlf
Hculty in securing needed and desired
changes in their organlo law. These bills
were dealt with In committee reports and
the house acted on the report, so that
those measures which survived th com
mittee's axe will go on general file.
Foster BUI Killed.
The house committee n railroads rec
ommended the Foster terminal taxation bill
for Indefinite postponement and the report
was sustained. This was a duplicate of the
bill of two years ago for which a per
sistent fight was made. This year, how
ever, th measure was not timely and up-to-date,
as it conflicted In one essential
with every other bit of legislation pro
jected from Omaha which contemplates the
consolidation of the city and county tax
ing departments and th abolition of th
city tax commissioner. Th old bill made
tha tax commissioner Of the city assessor
ex-offlolo. Th bill did not have th sup
port of anybody or organisation and was
allowed to die a natural death.
Fisher Asked to Cisplaln.
Allen O. Fisher has been Invited by the
claims committee tov. appear and explain
his $11,500 alalm In the escheat land case
over which such a disturbance has been
raised and which a subcommittee la in
vestigating. Fisher was to appear, at 1:16
today, but tld not. ; k "
This matter has been referred ; to . the
governor and attorney general, but no
action by either of these officials has yet
been taken. '
"My Idea Is the committee should com
plete Its Investigation before we take
action," said Governor Mickey thla afternoon.
STATE ACCOl'STAVT TURNED DOWN
8nate Decides gnch an Officer I Not
. Needed.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March I -(Special.) The sen
ate turned down a recommendation made
by Governor Mickey for the creation of
the office of a state accountant bv voting
to indefinitely postpone H. R. 140 this after
noon, it wound up a pretty tnorougn
business session by adopting a motion by
Meserve of Knox to appoint a sifting com
mittee, to begin work at the pleasure of th
senate. Th motion provided for tha
lecetlon of tbes members: Thomas of
Douglas, Laverty of Saunders. Wall of
Sherman, Epperson of Clay, , Nellson of
Cuming and Beghtol of Lancaster, repre
senting every congressional district in th
tat. Th motion was carried, however,
over strong opposition from Jones, Brese,
Shreck, Wllsey and Others, while .Meserve,
Wall, Kaller, Epperson and Good talked1
for a committee. None of th speakers
objected to th personnel of th 'commit
tee. During th argument It. was stated
that th senate was looked upon by th
people of th state as a body retarding
legislation and this suggestion did not set
well on th member of th upper branch.
It was also brought out during th dis
cussion that th house was "pigeonholing"
senst bills and rushing its own measures
to th front.-' This, so it was said, was
why it la supposed the senat I not up with
the house In Its work. It was stated by
Senator Epperson that' not a senate 01
had been rad In th house sine Feb
ruary H. , .
A a result of th discussion Sheldon
moved that th commute on rules con
ter with the house committee to mak some
arrangement whereby th measures from
each branch would get fair treatment in
th other and so nx th order of business
that ach branch could rush through-or
discuss its own measures before th last
few day of the session, leaving these day
to discuss th bills passed by th opposite
branch. Th motion prevailed.
H. H 1 140, creating a tat aooountant,
was killed by th adoption of th oommltt
report recommending the measure for In
definite postponement. Sheldon told th
Senat that th bill had been passed by the
senate two years ago and killed by th
house and that he saw no reason for th
senate changing front at this time. Dimery
said not a single stat officer except Dep
uty Auditor Anthe had appeared for the
bill, and that Treasurer Mortensen had
said the office waa by no means a neces
sity. Th vote to uphold th committee
report was overwhelming. '
In the committee of the whole, with
8hreck In the chair, 8. F. 148, by Saunders,
was killed without a dissenting vote. This
bill required that when a saloonkeeper of
Omaha made application for a liquor
license ha should deposit with the clerk
it the Board of Fire and Police commis
sioners $6 to pay the cost of publication
In an official paper to be selected by the
board. Saunders, In favor of his bill, said
it would put an end to the fights which
are Indulged in every year by the news
papers over th publication of the licenses
and to prevent the saloonkeepers from hav
ing to advertises In the three papers. This
the saloonkeepers had to do now, Saun
ders said, or fight for their licenses.
Thomas of Douglas moved that the bill
be amended to compel the papers to file
their circulation with the Board bf Fire
and Police commissioners, and the paper
having the largest carrier circulation
should be designated the official paper In
which the notices were to be printed and
also that the $5 proviso be knocked out.
Thomas explained how the board had
heretofore failed to designate an official
paper and that his amendment would sim
plify matters for the board. He thought
also that the senate was not so interested
In saloonkeepers as to regulate the price
of the publication of notices by making It
$5, especially when he had heard of no
saloonkeeper objecting.
Saunders then objected to the amend
ment because, ha said, It places advertis
ing in Omaha on a different basis from
that of other counties. "I don't se the
need of specifying the carrier circulation,"
he said.
Gibson Interrupted to ask Saunders if
the amendment would not simplify mat
ters for the board and be fair to all the
papers in Omaha. "Wouldn't the amend
ment do away with all misunderstand
ings?" he asked.
Saunders then moved that the amend-
mept be not adopted.
At this Juncture Wllsey got the floor and
made Bhort work of the bill.
"I am opposed to any amendment to the
Slocumb law," he said. "I was a memoes
of the house when it waa enacted, and it
has stood the test for twenty years. We
have voted down the Shreck bill and I
hope we will vot down all amendments
to that law. Another thing, every spring
i notice that each of the Omaha paper
swears that It has the largest circulation,
and then they launch Into each other and
swear at each other for several weeks. I
have noticed that when the Omaha papers
are swearing at each other they are not
swearing at the rest of th state. I am
In favor of letting them swear to their
hearts content. Therefore, I move the bill
be Indefinitely postponed."
The motion carried without a dissenting
vote amid the laughter of the members.
The committee recommended for passage
the Tucker drainage bill. S. F. 157 and S.
F. 226, and amendment to th building and
ioon association law, to prevent members
from voting more proxie than they have
stock.
When the committee arose Wllsey was
In favor of beginning the sessions at 9:30
in the mornings, but after Mockett talked
of night sessions, the senate adjourned un
til th usual time, 10 o'clock.

BRIBERY TALK AT DENVER
fUpreientatite Morgan Bays H Wm Paid
Money to Vote for Adam
COMMITTEE WILL INVESTIGATE CHARGE
Men Who Are Aeensed of Oflerins;
he Bribe Say Morgan Bo
llelted Pay for His
Vote.
DENVER. March J.-A committee was ap
pointed today by the general assembly of
Colorado to Investigate charges of bribery
In the contest of the governorship. Chsrges
have been made and published In the local
newspapers to the effect that a fund had
been raised by corporations and is being
used to purchase votes for James H. Pea-
body, who seeks the office held by Alva
Adams, but no notice of them wss taken
by the general assembly.
Today, Immediately after the Joint con
vention, which Is hearing arguments In the
contest, was called to order, Senator R. W.
Morgan (rep.) of Boulder strode down the
aisle holding aloft a paper which he
handed to the presiding officer and which
was read to the assembly by a clerk at
the request of the writer. This communica
tion was as follows:
To Jesse F. McDonald, as president of the
senate, and as presiding officer of the Joint
convention of th Fifteenth general assem
bly: Sir: I have to Inform you that on the 2d
day of March, 1908, one Jomes M. Herbert
and Daniel aSulllvan ottered and promised
to pay the undersigned the sum of $1,500
to vote for Alva Adams for governor In the
contest now pending before this Joint Con
vention. Of this sum said James M. Her
bert paid the sum of $760.- This money I
have given to George Stldger, district at
torney for the city and county of Denver,
for his official use. I have also given to
him sntch information as he requires in
his official capacity.
I also desire to lay the matter before the
Jeople of the state, the senate snd the
olnt convention, as It affects the question
now pending before this ponvention.
,R. W. MORGAN.
Committee Will Investigate.
The convention for several minutes after
the reading of Senator Morgan's statement
remained quiet. Then Representative B. J.
O'Connell, a democrat, expressed surprise
that the members of the republican major
ity apparently did not propose to take any
action on the charges and he moved that
a committee of five be appointed by the
chair to make a thorough Investigation of
the whole matter and report before a vote
Is taken In the contest.
After brief debate, in which several re
publicans Joined In the demand for an In
vestigation, the motion . was unanimously
carried. Lieutenant Governor McDonald
named Senator Corn forth and Representa
tives Sherwln and Bromley (republicans)
and Senator Balllnger and Representative
O'Connell (democrats) as the Investigating
committee The committee organized this
afternoon by electing Eehator Cornforth
chairman and began its Investigation this
evening.
Herbert and Snllivan Give Bond.
James M. Herbert, whom Senator Morgan
charged with having gtvev, him $750 as a
bribe, is vice president and general man
ager of the Colorado & Southern railroad
and stands In the foremost ranks of rail
road officials In the United States. Daniel
Sullivan, who Is accused by the senator of
having offered the alleged bribe. Is post
master at Cripple Creek and one of the
most prominent republican workers In this
state.
Eight informations charging bribery and
conspiracy were filed against Herbert and
Sullivan in the criminal .court by District
Attorney George M. Stidger, almost simul
taneously with th springing ,of the sensa
tion in the Joint convention by Senator
Morgan. Bonds1rto'r"$5,000 each were fur
nished by the accused . men. District At
torney Stldger said in explanation of the
promptness with which he was able to act
that the matter, had been brought to his
attention last Saturday by Senator Morgan,
Denial by Herbert.
Mr. Herbert issued the following state
ment:
Mr. Morgan car..e to my rooms in the
Brown Paiace , hotel last Thursday with
Daniel Sullivan. flr. Morgan stated that he
and his people were for tne seating of Mr.
Adams; that Boulder county h.M gone tor
Mr. Adams, and the laboring people in his
section ot the state were for Mr. Adams,
and he told Governor Adams the same
thing; that the piensure was so great from
the Pea body people that they might drive
him out or tne state ne aiq not vote
with them, as they were brow-bcatlna and
bulldozing many republican members of the
legislature ana maKing threats against
them in business and in polities; that he
was convinced the Peabody people had no
case. Mr. Morgan stated that he had been
offered $3,000 by Peabody people and he
ought to have $3,000 If he stood by Adams
and Incurred the enmity of the Peabody
people. I told him that I would not pay
any member of the legislature to vote one
way or the other In tne governorship con
test. Mr. Morgan was very Insistent and
finally said he would take $1,500. I abso
lutely refused to have anything to do with
him and he went away. Mr. Sullivan was
present during the entire conversation.
(Signed) J. M. HERBERT.
"Senator Morgan approached me several
days ago," said Postmaster Sullivan, "and
told me, In the presence of witnesses, that
he was anxious to vote for Governor
Adams, because Peabody had failed to
make a case. I told him that I had always
believed that he was tied up to the Peabody
side, but he vehemently denied th charge.
He pleaded with me to take him to Mr.
Herbert, and while I suspected that he was
not honest with us, I could see no harm
In permitting him to have a talk with Mr.
Herbert. Fortunately, I was In the room
during the conversation and heard him
solicit the bribe and Mr. Herbert emphat
ically decline to consider it."
' Adams Doubts Charges.
"I do not believe the charges,'' Governor
Adams said in reply to a question, "and I
believe that they are made simply as part
of the political game.
"Senator Morgan came to see me of hi
oWn accord on March 2, the day on whioh
he says a bribe was offered him, and he
volunteered the Information that he would
vot fur bu. I thanked him for his vot,
and he said that he was convlnoed 'that I
was honestly elected and entitled to the
vote."
This afternoon Postmaster Sullivan as
saulted Richard Broad, a Peabody worker,
on the street, striking him in the face with
his fist. Several bystanders Interfered, pre
venting further hostilities. Sullivan says
that Broad and other lobbyists instigated
Morgan to make the charge for the pur
pose of Influencing legislators In fuvor of
Peabody and denies that there I an; truth
in Morgan' statement.

WOllAN III CLUB AND CHARITY
A meeting was recently held at Chicago
of representatives of most of the federated
clubs of Illinois for the establishment of
auxiliaries of the American Whit Cross

extending first aid to womer. In all walks
of life. Later classes In nursing and do
mestic hygiene will be opened snd finally
the women will be banded together in
brigades for work in times of special emer
gency. A demonstration conducted by some
of the most eminent physicians of Chicago,
accompanied the meeting of the club
women. A monthly magazine Is to be
published In Chicago to promote the work
of the local auxiliary, the superintendent
Of the national society to serve ss editor,
assisted by some of the most prominent
public spirited women of Chicago.
Through courtesy of the oratory depart
ment the members of the Omaha Wom
an's club were afforded an unexpected and
altogether enjoyable Informal tea at the
close of yesterday afternoon's general
meeting. The oratory department presented
the program of the afternoon and it was
one of the most entertaining of the year.
Including recitations by Mrs. B. F. Car
penter, Miss Minnie Nlckum snd Miss
Grace Conklln, a piano solo by Miss Pearl
Levy, a vocal solo by Mrs. J. H. Shary. a
calesthenlc exercise by Miss Florence Den
ney of Council Bluffs and a sketch by Miss
Hasel Livingston snd Mr. George Phelps.
The tea followed in the club parlors the
club members being received by the offi
cer of the department. A tea table pret
tily trimmed with daffodils was presided
over by other department members.
There was llttlo business during the early
part of the meeting, the discussion of a
bill recently Introduced In the legislature
'regulating maternity hospitals and the
adoption of children being the only thing
that claimed general Interest. The recom
mendations of the bill were Anally en
dorsed. A request was read from Chaplain
Percy 8Ilver that the women contribute
books and magazines to be used by the sol
diers at Fort Crook and It was agreed that
all having late magazines and books to be
donated should send them to the club
rooms, where they will be taken to the fort
Attention was called to the fact that the
club year begins In May and It was sug
gested that applicants for membership be
told that dues paid now are only for the
remainder of the club year. A number of
members have come under th Impression
that dues paid at any time secured mem
bership until a year from the date of pay
ment. This Is not the case; the club year
begins in May and to avoid further mis
understanding members were requested to
make this plain to applicants.
