Clay County Representative Plana t
Put Nebraska Legislator! on Record
Measure Would Prohibit All Dealing
in Intoxicating Liquor in the State
Lincoln, Feb. 18. Two bills abolish
big capital punishment were killed in
the house after a spirited debute, in
which there was considerable quoting
of the scripturo and some aerial era
tory.
Kotouc nnd Nelr were the author!
and they advanced the usual argu
ments against capital punishment
that it Is barbarous, not a deterrent
of crime and exceeding the right ol
society as against the Individual.
Kotoue quoted statistics from othct
states where capital punishment has
been abolished to prove that In states
where there is punishment by death
It Is harder to secure a conviction foi
murder. Mockett of Lancaster and
Johnson of Johnson loth Bpoke foi
the bills.
Neir's bill was only applicable to
cases where the conviction was bo
cured through circumstantial evidence,
but even it was objected to. Skeen ol
Nemaha was particularly strong
agalnut tho bills because he was ol
tho opinion that only capital punish
ment was a strong enough punishment
for murder.
For State-Wide prohibition.
State wide prohibition is contcm
rlatcd In a till Introduced by Rjpre
sensitive Gait of Clay. The bill pro
hlbils all dealing In Intoxicating liq
uors of all kinds, exempting the honit
manufacture of wino and cider and
the making of wine for sacramental
purposes. The law reads as follows:
"Any person who shall either direct
ly or Indirectly, whether as principal,
ageut or employee, manufacture, sell
or barter or distribute any spirituous
malt, vinous, fermented or other intox
icating liquors shall bo guilty of a
midenieanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined In any sum not
loss than $100 nor more than $500, oi
bo Imprisoned In the county jail uot
less than thirty days nor more than
sixty days, or both. Provided, that nc
person shall be prohibited from uiak
ing wine or cider from grapes, applet
or other fruit grown and raised by
such person, or from tho making ol
wine for sacramental purposes."
The bill was given tho number 40!)
It has been criticised by the members
who have been examining It for .dis
crepnncles in the legal phrasing oi
the title and the actual contents of the
bill and it Is generally supposed that
ihe purpose of introducing it is to get
the members of. tho house on record
for or opposed to prohibition.
Stock Yard's Bill .Goes Over.
The Benate deferred action on the
Ollis ftotk yards bill at his request
because of i" number of senators ab
sent. The Inland bill for a parolt
board similar to the one passed by
the last legislature and vetoed by the
governor was recommended for pas
sage.
Representative Bnssett read his
thanks to the house for their vote of
confidence. He did not go Into the
question of the right of his vote upon
capital removal, but Bpoke of his love
for bin people In Buffalo county and
said that only their misunderstanding
of the way in which legislation Is done
led them to condemn him.

Lincoln, Feb. 18. The coroner's
Jury In tho case of Emcrlll Sherrow,
the boy killed In a railroad accident
Feb. 15, recommended that tho street
cars of Lincoln be equipped lramedl
atelv with air brakes to prevent such

boy came to his death through no
criminal act on the part of the motor,
man, but that the car was going faster
than was consistent with public safety
and that the only thing that will make
traveling on the streets safe is the
addition of air brakes to tho equip
ment of the "Lincoln Traction com
pany's tars.
Staley Convicted Again of Bigamy.
Lincoln, Feb. 18. Alfred Staley,

sentenced to a year at hard labor In
