THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. MARCH 16, 1917, Nebraska HOUSE CHAPLAIN PRAYS FOR HARMONY Row Between Democratic Ma chine and Insurgents Seems to Be Worrying Parson. CAUCUS IS ABANDONED (From Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, March 15. (Special.) liven the democratic chaplain of the house is getting fearful that the dem ocratic majority in that body is rap idly drifting toward the. rocks and this morning sent up an appeal on high for assistance. The continual scrapping has evidently even worried he parson, and so when he performed us morning devotions today lie saia: "How beautiful it is when brethren dwell together in unity. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, the . bountiful showers which come to soothe the parched earth and. lend brightness to the fading flowers. It is like the soothing hand upon the fevered brow and the comforting words in the hour of bereavement. Caucus Not Held. It will be known later whether the democrats rtatized that he was quot itig a little Scripture or a plank in the national democratic platform written to get into office on and not to follow after getting in. The democrats held no caucus last night. There was really little to call a caucus for. The machine, which had ' been running things, or, more prop erly, trying to run things, during this session, discovering that it was a case of cither giving up control of the situ ruing or losing it to a combination of insurgent democrats and republicans. decided discretion to be the better part of valor and gracefully handed nut a sop to the insurgents by giving them control or the sitting commit' tee. Machine ?j Side Stepping. Thus, after mussing up things all ihrough the session, the machine has discovered that it will be-good politics to sunt responsibility tor the failure of this session off of their own shoul ders onto the minority majority and while they have been unable to run things just to suit them they are wise enough to try and get from under the responsibility of the utter and deplor able mess which they have got the present session into.

Thirty-three members of the house voted this morning to continue the killing time tactics for which the house has been noted throughout the session so the vote coming on a motion of Beal to suspend the rules in order to send hack to the banking committee H. R. 570, a bill regulating loans of banks, which he s;iid he de sired amended. The matter brought on a warm dis cussion, Reisner charging that it was continuing the dilatory tactics prac ticed so much this session and thai enough time had been spent on the bill now, which was not worth spend ing time on. Once more the two house leaders clashed, Taylor declaring it was set ting a bad precedent to break a rule of the house, while Norton -thought the bill ought to go back to the com mittee. The motion lost and the hill was then put on passage, going to the leg islative scrap heap by a vole of 75 nays to only 3 yeas. This is the bill which Reisner claimed the other day the governor was lobbying fer and which was sent to third reading by a close vote.
