the house and the senate of the Ne
braska legislature adjourned sine die
at high noon, Thursday, April 2$.
Tho forenoon's delay had been oc
casioned by the work entailed In en
grossing the three final hills passed
which hnd to be signed by tho pre
siding officers of both houses while
tho legislature was ill session.
These bills wero H. It. 113, tho

the general appropriation hill for tho
bleiinlum, uud II. It. G22, the short
term appropriation bill for tho quar
ter from April to July, tho beginning

The short and business like session
that was predicted by all members
when they first tackled the Job lasted
longer than any other previous gather
lug of the solons. Tho house was In
Its ninety-first duy when It uit and
tho senate on Its eighty-third.
While the bill factory was slow
getting Into operation and for a timo
It looked as though the legislature
might make a record In tho matter
of a small number of new laws, it
proved to be Just about the average.
The total number of bills passed up
to the governor was 313. Of these
he signed all hut four. He vetoed
three, the moving picture censorship,
a ?1,G00 appropriation for a crlpplod
patlont of tho orthopodlc hospital and
ono providing for filling vacancle's in
certain offices by naming a person of
the snme political party as that to

board of censors over moving pic
tures. Ills veto message was ninda
olllclnlly public an hour after both

cally adjourned.
In n statement tho governor mado

of Ilium was a step toward censorship
of tho press, nnd nn Infringement on
tho state constitution guaranteeing
that "every person may freely spenk,
write and publish on all subjects,
being responsible for tho abuses of
Hint liberty."
The bill was Introduced at the re
quest of persons Interested in child
welfare and was a part of tho child
weUaro program. It resulted in a
close contest In each house, tho sen
ate standing for regulation by law in
stead of regulation by censors. At
the last moment the senate changed
front and concurrod In tho house bill
with a few changos.

Tryout at Chicago. ,
Chicago, April 27. Regular army
troops are to guard all government
property In Chlcngo until such time
as the daring and successful opera
tions of the city's criminals are

stated that regular troops were being
assigned Immediately to guard tho
Federal building, the Federal Reserve
bank, postal substations nnd all other

articles of value are handled.
This move on the part of the gov
ernment was made on recommendntlon

The letter received almost Instant nt
tcntion, unci In tho reply which the
postmaster received he Is authorized

havo worked together. The hendqunr
tcrs of theso gongs, federal authori
ties, believe, has been Chicago nnd for
thnt reason Chlcngo wns chosen as
the city where the now plan of using

Is planned to use the same methods In
New York, Philadelphia, Indianapolis
and other largo cities where large
amounts of money aro sent nnd re
celved through tho malls.
