They would havo met tho fate of last Sun day's meetings at the same place, when It required a strong body of po lice to escort them to safety, but or tho fact that large bodies of mounted and foot policemen were in attend ance. Five thousand persons assembled In the park and swarmed about the speakers' platform, and by a deafen ing din prevented any word of "Gen eral" Mrs. Flora Dmmmond's Bpeech being heard. The pressure of the surging crowds at length became so great that reinforcements wero sum moned. Mrs. Drummond and her col leagues wero rescued from their per ilous position with some difficulty.

Boston, Mass, Tho cloakmakorB1 union which Iuib 3,000 mombors horo and Is ami la tod with tho Internation al garment workers, hs doolared a strike NO REPEAL FOR ALBERT LAW. Flanagan Sought to Exempt Cities of Over 2,000 Population. Flanagan's bill to repeal the Albert law In cities of over 2,000 population met with a violent death in the house. With sixty-four affirmative votes, tho negative not being counted, the house rejected a favorable report or the cities and towns committee. It was all over in five minutes, with Flanagan the only defender of the bill. A suspicion of minority members of the committee that Chairman McKIs slck had read tho bill somewhat has tily, without allowing time for Its full significance to entirely penetrate the commltteemen's'mental processes, fig ured In piling up the vote. Regan, a member of the committee, moved to reject the report, and Reynolds, anoth er member, seconded the motion. Seven of the fifteen members, Emel und, Burket, Blanks, Fuller, Busch, Regan and Reynolds voted against the committee's report Flanagan said the bill applied only to cities gifted with the right of mak ing their own charters, but Norton and Palmer pointed out that pending legislation gave all over 2.000 this righL It was a bad day for McKIsslck. Right on top of this defeat, he asked the house to turn down a report of the Insurance committee, -which indefi nitely postponed McKissick's bill to put what Is practically the mobile schednle In effect in fraternal Insur wce societies. McKIssick said the committee hadn't even read the bill through and denied its evil intent, but the only support for bis motion came from his colleague. Helllger, and Yates, Smith, Hoff, Flanagan, Drws dow, Simon and Anderson of Douglas. Coupled with a near fist fight be tween Regan and Anderson of Kear ney, these Incidents enlivened the usual routine standing committee re ports. Anderson vainly tried to way lay a committee report indefinitely postponing his bill for compulsory In spection of private hospitals, convents and the like. It was admittedly aimed at Catholic institutions, and when An. aerson began to read affidavits attack ing the management of some of these, Regan objected. Anderson took off his glasses, but the sergeant-at-arms got there first and prevented blood shed. Bills Passed by House. S. F. 24, by Hoagland: Double shift for Lincoln city firemen. Passed, 82 to 0.

Acting Governor McKolvlo has an nounced that ho would Introduco four bills In the house soon at tho re quest of tho state railway commission. Tho btllu nro designed to lighten some of tho commission's heavy load.

SENATE HAS TOO HIT EMPLOYES PROTEST OVER LEGISLATURE'S EXTRAVAGANCE DIES OUT. HELP COSTS $360 A WEEK House Has Eighty-Two and Senato Seventy People Employed As Assistants. Lincoln. Early In the session vari ous republicans, Including the state auditor and several elective officials, were making loud protests over the fact that tho house employe list was mounting up to a point where the number of employes exceeded tho number allowed by law. Now that pro test has died down Into nothing more than an unobserved escape of hot air. Here Ishe reason: An examination of the records of the auditor's office shows that the house Is carrying eighty-two em ployes. Just the number allowable un der the state laws. At the same time the senate, whose committee on ac counts indicated it would use its own judgment in the matter, has seventy employes or twenty-two in excess of the number allowed under statutory enactment The difference amounts to about $60 a day or $360 a week, and figured on the several -weeks that the extra list has been carried will reach close to $3,000 over and above the legaf amount allowed for help for that body during the session. Thus the senate wltfc 33 per cent as large a membership as the house is using 85 per cent ot the number of employes used by tho lower body. When the matter was being thresh ed over at great length early in the session the auditor objected to the heavy list sent up from the house. La ter on he made a similar kick about the senate's extra employes. The at torney general, who was called upon for an opinion In the matter, decided that the legislature was Its own judge In the matter and that If it voted sums sufficient to pay tho employes It could have as largG a list as It desired. The house, however, stood pat and pruned Its list to conform with the legal-requirements. This the senate refused to do, the members of tho expendi tures committee declaring that it would "pay as many aB It used and would use all it wanted to." Bills Passed by the House. H. R. 552, by Hostetler: Teach sub ject of food and diet in eighth, ninth and tenth grades of public schools. Passed, 52 to 32, after emergency clause had lost, 57 to 28. H. R. 325, to increase poll tax to $3 and permit it to bo worked out, postponed. H. R. 367, bridges built by two counties shall bo paid for by both ac cording to their valuation; Indefinite ly postponed. Tho followlns were recommended for passage: H. R. 323, permitting farmers to farm unused portions of the road ad Joining their farms. H. R. 324, county to levy road tax in road districts. H. R. 278, bridgo plans to bo fur nished counties by state engineer. When counties dispute over locat ing or contracting for bridges to be constructed by two counties. Each shall have ono vote and state engineer ono vote. To Increase Police Pension. Senato File No. 32, by McFarland of Douglas county, which Increases the pension of-tho police of Omaha to $50 a month after a 'service of twenty years, when they shall havo reached tho age of 50 years or over, was or dered engrossed for third reading and passage. Reclamation Act Not Favored, Operation of tho federal reclama tlon act under Its present provisions does not find favor with thp senate, a resolution passed by that body ex pressing tho hope that congress would sco fit to alter the law in such a way that twenty instead of ten an nunl payments shall bo allowed on land acquired under tho act General Deficiencies Bill. Tho goneral deficiencies bill wns Introduced by Chairman Busch of the deficiencies commltteo. It carries n total of $148,000 somewhat less than wnB feared earlier In the session. Carrying Weapons Misdemeanor. Tho house passed tho bill by Sugar man, reducing the crime of carrying concealed weapons, making it a mis demeanor. To Support Extension Bill.
