noise was heard, which they thought
was someone entering the house by
the coal chute. The gallant swain
with a descretion which would not
have been supposed counting his
years, dived down town for assist
ance, while the fair one watched the
house that the burglar, if such was
the case, should not escape. When
sufficient reenforcenients had been
secured they went and searched the
premises and found in the cellar, that
the coal had slid down from where
it was piled against the wall, and
caused the frightful noises.

AMSBERRY DECLINES
TO USE NEW SEAL
Proposes to Follow Opinion of At
torney General New Seal Not
Yet Designed or Filed.
Regardless of what the governor's
commission proposes to put into the
proposed new state seal there will be
no new seal until another legislature
meets and authorizes. This is the as
sertion heard at the state house. It is'
based on the position taken by Sec-'
retary of State Darius M. Amsberry I
that legalley there can be no new!
seal until another legislature takes'
affirmative action. He holds with As- j
sistant Attorney General Mason
Wheeler and he act of the recent leg
islature does not authorize the adop
tion of a new seal and that the old
seal will remain the seal of the state
until the act of 1667 adopting the
present seal is repealed. Mr. Wheel- !
er called attention last September to
the absence of a repealing clause in j
the bill nassed bv the last legislature. !
The secretary of state is custodian
of the seal of Nebraska and if he re-
fuses to use a new one soon' to be de-
signed his action will settle the con-
troversy.
Commends Amsberry
Mr. Amsberry has received the fol
lowing letter commending his posi -
tion. It was wr'tten by M. C. War -
rington, for twenty-five years editor
of the Mason City Transcript:
"I wish to make known my hearty
o r rvv vr o 1 rvf t Yi a of a rtrl vaii rtovo falraTi
in regard to not using the "new state
seal' recently concocted and designed
by one of Governor Sam's commis
sions. "Am glad you have taken the at
titude you have in this matter and
ate a proper regard for the splendid
sentiment of honest industry and
high regard for law and Justice;
which is so openly manifested and :
proclaimed by the pioneer fathers j
when the old state seal was selected.
"I cheerfully subscribe to all con-
structive beneficial ideas of progress
and advancement in government af
fairs, but when it comes to changing
the seal of a great state like Nebras
ka for the mere sake of keeping hospital for tuberculars were given

givernor. well, I'm kicking." erans of the world war of Nebraska.
Governor McKelvie. mentioned by meeting at Grand Island, gave voice
Mr. Warrington, appointed a com-10 tne charges of improper food or
mission to design a new seal. The
bill authorizing this was introduced
by Representative George A. Wil
liams of Filmore county. Mr. Wil
liams alleges he is the originator of
the bill. Dr. G. E. Condra, who was
interested in having such a bill in
troduced, was appointed on the com
mission by the governor. Mrs. E. B.
Penney of Fullerton is the third ap
pointee. Attorney General's Opinion
Last September Assistant Attorney
General Mason Wheeler wrote in re
gard to the bill creating the seal
commission: "No provision is made
for the offcial approval of such de
sign. An act approved June 15. 1867,
officially adopts the present seal as
Ldoes section 5569, Revised Statutes
of 1913. These statutes officially
adopting the present seal are not re
pealed or affected by H. R. 571 and
in our opinion the present seal of the
state remains the official seal of the
state until a new seal is specifically
approved by the legislature."
Chairman Williams of the com
mission takes the position that the
law authorizing a new seal is suffic
ient to make the design the official
seal of the state without further ac
tion after the design is filed with the
governor and is transmitted to the
secretary of state.
The commission has not completed
its design and has made no final re
port to the governor. What is to be
included in the design remains an
official secret. The details will not be
definitely known until the design is
prepared by Bertram G. Goodhue of
New York, architect for the state
capitol commission. It is reported,
however, that about all that the
seal commission will retain of the
present seal Is the anvil. The com
mission is of the opinion there is
nothing In the present seal emble
matic of Nebraska today. It proposes
to leave out whatever is historical in
the design.. It is to be based on the
rules of 'heraldry. Critics allege there ;
is nothing on earth more absolete
than heraldry. The commission de
sires to obliterate the swarthy black
smith but leave his anvil, wipe out

mountains, but leave the motto,,

Charges of Inadequate Food

-
"About eight tenths of the story is
false and probably two tenths may

contain some truth," said L. C. Ober
lies of the state boar dof control when
asked about the charges made by the
American Legion that ex-service men
boarded by the state at the Kearney
inadeauate food and lack of care ow-
ing to the fact that only one physic
Ian and one assistant are employed.
Chairman Katherine F. Worley
and A. E. Allyn, members of the
board of control, said . the board
would go to the institution this week
and make an investigation and that
a report of the board's findings would
be made public. All members of the
board said such a report was due the
public in view of the facf that
charges had been published by Amer
ican Legion members.
In regard to the origin of the com
plaint against the food and care of
soldiers some members of the board
are inclined to lay the blame upon
an ex-service patient.
"He tried to elope with one of the
girls at the Institution, but we pre
vented the getaway and the man in
the case has been trying to make
trouble," said a member of the board.
The board declined to give the name
of the patient leferred to. It is said
the girl was a nurse employed at the
institution.

SINN FEINERS AC
CEPT PROPOSALS
Government Officials Announce Text
will be Sent to Parliament and
Dail Eireann Soon.
London, Dec. 6. It is officially
announced that the government and
the representatives of the dail eir
eann have reached an agreement, the
terms of which will be submitted for '
the acceptance of parliament and of
the dail eirean.
A copy of the agreement has been
sent to Sir James Craig. Ulster pre
mier. After a session which lasted more
than three hours, from. 11: IS last
night until 2:20 this morning, the
meeting of the government minis
ters and Irish representatives fcep
arated and a member of the cabinet,
replying to a question as to how
things stood, said:
"The news isn't bad; an agree
ment in fact, has been reached, the
terms of hich will be communicat
ed to the press."
Delegates Weary and Grave
The delegates looked tired and
grave as they left the premier's rtsl
dence. Asked whether he had any-
tning to say. Michael Collins,
the
Sinn Fein finance minister answered
sharply: "Not a word."
Answering the question, "Are you
coming back?" Mr. Collins answer
ed hurriedly, "I don't know." and
shutting the door of his automobile,
he drove off with Mr. Griffith and
Mr. Barton.
A few minutes later Lord Birken
head and Mr. Churchill left. Their
appearance suggested that the strain
of the conference had been severe.
Questions at Issue
The big question at issue between
the British government and the rep
repentatives of the Irish republican
parliament has been:
Shall Ireland become entirely in
dependent or. If it remain within the
British empire, shall there be two
reparate governments in Ireland, one
for Ulster and one for the rest of the
country? " '
Prime Minister Lloyd George baa
refused to consider any proposal
which would put Ireland outside the
empire.
The Sinn Feiners refused to ad
mit that Ireland should be split In
two parts.
Ulster refused to unite In one par
liament with the Sinn Feiners. It
has organized a parliament of its
own under the Government of Ire
land act.
The Sinn Feiners refused to set up
a parliament for the south of Ire
land, as proposed in that act. They
adhered to their own Irish parlia
ment, called the Dail Eireann. which
the bad set up independently as the
governing body of the Irish republic.
