Rediscovery or an old underground storage basin for 250,000 gallons of water, from which the state institute for feeble-minded at Beatrice once drew its entire sup ply, is an unexpected sequel of the building a dam across Bear creek on the grounds of the institution in or der to form an artificial lake for re creational purposes. The former reservoir was filled to a depth of several feet with mud and debris. These accumulations werej cleaned away and the interior shows 1 a big chamber about 90 feet long, j 30 feet wide, and 12 feet Jiigh. j The walls and floor of brick and j cement appear to be in fairly good j shape as does the roof made of brick and concrete resting upon steel! beams. j Chairman Wcsurvelt of the hoard of control said the cistern will be put to use once more. j Prompt Approv al of Federal Tax Cut Looked For Senate Leaders Confident of Adoption of Money Savir.

Senator Watson of Indiana, the republican leader, expressed that view after a series of conferences, and plans to propose that the senate enter an agreement for the purpose. headers of the democratic and re publican independent coalition which has a majority in the tariff contest, gave reassurances that they would approve consideration of the tax cut on Friday, providing the agreement is reached for a vote by Saturday night. Senator Blaine who blocked consideration of the resolution Mon day, announced he had not changed his opinion that the tariff bill should be disposed of before the tax proposal is debated. He indicated however, that he was ready to listen to the arguments of those demanding im mediate action on taxes. The motion to consider the tax resolution will be made during the opening minutes of the session on Friday when debate is not in order. That will put the resolution before the senate. "If we don't get an agreement for a vote on Saturday night," said Wat son, "we will go right ahead with the tax resolution until we do get that vote." Senators Simmons and Harrison, ranking democrats on the finance committee, are supporting the pro gram for early adoption of the house resolution in its present form. Sen ator Borah said he would agree to i consideration of the tax resolution on Friday, if an agreement was reached for a vote on Saturday. State Journal. LINDSEY TO ACCEPT RULE Denver Ben li.
