PACE 2. PLATTSMOUTII SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1", SHARP ASSAULT MADE ON LABOR ATORY MEASURE Measure Removing State Bacteriolog ists to Omaha Up to Third Reading. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 14 Removal of the state bacteriological laboratory from the state houe to the medical college at Omaha is provided for in the Hoifmeister bill, which weath ered a rather shary assault in the I ever house today, and was sent ahead to third reading. An amendment providing that the bacteriok'gii-t s-hall be named for four years was tacked onto the measure by the committee and that as well as the balance of the measure received the approval of the house. Fuller, Ollis, Grecnwalt, Dafoe and Ty"or all declared themselves against a separation of the bacteriological la':KraTory from the state health de partment at the capitol. It was ;ated by Fuller that the food com mission calls on the laboratory for -sistar.ee nearly every day, which it o-.u'.d rot do of course, if they were r..-t l.:h located at the same place. -V,.j might just as well put the Lr ii r- 1 f control and the railway c mmi.-s: -ii under the university re douts as this laboratory," said Green vult. "The- it gents are willing to take 0-. i r the supervision of the laboratory i: that is what the legislature wants." interjected Mr. Peterson, "but if this 1- d-r.e u-n"t charge it up to educa tion t.t:uuse the work done therein i- health department work and not . jc.it ional work." Criticism of the bacteriologist for failure to make examinations re quested of him by physicians over the Mate trf voiced by Messrs, T rum ble, Stearns and other. In explana tion of this. Mr. Rieschick said the bacttiiulogist. Dr. Wild had more that he could do. Mr. IIorTmeister, one of the bill's .-por.s rs, said Dr. Wild would be re tained in his present position after the removal. The Neilsen bill limiting banks of the state to payment of 1 per cent in tere.t oil time deposits, this, of ovjjse, applying only to tate banks i.- arousing much interest. National barkers have been interested, too, ar.d v tie somewhat at sea as to what c:T.ct such a law might have on their Jsinei.-. The atithor of the measure had the n atter taken up with the United Stales treasury department. A let ter from Deputy Comptrolleu Kans indicates that if the present legisla ture passes the measure, in his judg r.tert "national banks would be amen ab'.e to such a measure." In his letter he says: "In reply to your letter of January V you are advised that the federal lw provides that any national bank :::.:y take, receive, reserve and charge .i any I an or discount made, or up- :i any n-te. bill of exchange or other evidence of debt, interest at the rate allowed bv the laws the ?tate wherein the bank is located, and no jr.ore. and that when no rate is fixed by the law of the state the bank may take, receive, reserve or charge a rate not exceeding 7 per cent, and such in terest may l e taken in advance reck oning tie days for which the note, biil or other evidence or elebt has to "As yoi arc doubtless aware, t lie re i- r. liriit.il ion placed by law upon national banks in regard to interest rates paid on deposits. The payment of high rates of interest, however, is v o!.ject:oiiablo and is discour a ''! in cv ry possible way. In ease the legislature- of Nebraska should mus a law limiting the payment of ii te-est by any and all banks or the r corporations, trust companies dims or individuals receiving moneys om i'v.-:t, to 1 per cent, it is believed :h; t national banks would be amen- a!''c to efforts to correct this a bus wv practice." Hutual building and loan associ aiions were either poor man's friend" or unscrupulous loan sharke, according to the side of the fence the speaker was on in the senate com mittee cf the whole today. The bill under discussion was by Adams of Dav.es, allowing actions again;-1 such loan associations to be adjudicated in the county, in which cause of action arises. The author maintained that associ ations violated contracts, knowing that poor people out in the state did not have means to come to other counties and prosecute. Senator OLerlics asked that the bill be refered Lack to the committee, so that com panies could Le given a hearing. Objection was. raised and Oberlies n otion was lost. Senator McMullen, -iter explaining the good that local i.tciatkna were doing in lending the poor man money, introduced an amendment to make the law apply to foreign corporations." It was lost. The bill was finally rassed to tliird reading. The judiciary committee reported favorably on a resolution to allow the L Commonwealth Power Co. to bring an action against the state to recover $2,300 filing fees on power sites which were never used. COUNTY CONVENTION OF THE MODERN WOODMEN The county convention of the Mod ern Woodmen of America will be held in this city on Wednesday, April 4th, at- the M. W.

THE LARD IS FOUND BUT THE THIEF IS A MYSTERY Chief of Police Barclay for the last to days has been busily engaged in trying to ferret out the mysterious finding of several hundred pounds of lard hitlden just north of the Missiuri Pacific stock yards and a short dis tance from the depot. The first known of the fact of the lard being hidden was when a man giving the name of Folich appeared at the Johnson cv. Gartleman meat market and offered to sell them the lard at the price of cents a pound, when the prevailing market price is 18 cents a pounel. This aroused the suspicion of the proprie tors of the meat market and the chief of police was informed of the matter, but in the meantime the man had suc cceeled in elisposing of the lard to John Cory at the Perkins hotel and had re ceived a check for the same. The man was located by Mr. Barclay and ex amineel, but denied all knowledge of stealing the lard, stating that two men in Omaha had told him of where the lard had been hidelen and he had then come on down to this city to try and dispose of it as the men told him it was their property anel that it was perfectly all right for him to dispose of it. This morning a special agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad came down to look into the matter as the company has had several cars robbed of late. So far there has been no complaint filed against the man selling the lard. STRAYED.

Washington, D. C, Feb. 11. Ger man influence was seen today in Cuban and Mexican troubles officials declared. Officials think it more than likely that Germany is stirring up trouble there to keep the United States en gaged in nearer home affairs so she would pay less attention to German acts o nthe ocean. Eidently German pressure on Gen eral Cai-ranza has already had the effect of forcing British consideration of landing troops at Tampico to pro tect the oil wells supplying England's big navy, according to intimations in diplomatic quarters. As for Cuba, the situation may Lv cume such that American interfer ence will be necessary, though as the revolt there stands now, intervention is not yet requireel. Border activities, with unofficial re ports of kiiiing of three Americans, accentuate the Mexican problem. The war elepartment is keeping an extra careful watch on the boundary for fear trouble involving the United St:ites will again break out. It was recalled today that a Ger man embassy agent was in almost constant touch with the American Mexican per.ee commission when it sat at Atlantic City. It is known, too, that some of Gen eral Carranxa's followers have fell that German and Japanese support was with the constitutionalists. While cabinet members have ex pressed doubt that Gi eat Brit Ian will l.;r.d troops t protect British il intere :ts at Tampico, it is moro than a ccru.i:.ty that England will n t look id'.y on. if Caivanr'.a arrie- out any plan of stepping her oil supp'i-.--;.
