I!t -Collection of the proposed 2cent gasoline lax shall he imposed on the shipper and all gaso line used for domestic or agricultural purposes, excepting in autos, Is exempt from the tax under terms of a bill thrown into the house hopper today by Lee of Hostings. The V.ee plan of collection is similar tn that followed in numerous slates where a gasoline tax Is collected. I,re would force the producer nr i shipper to add the tax to the bill *cnt to the retailer. It would behoove ilia retailer to add the 2,cent tax to the Consumer. The shipper must end the money direct to the state department of trade and commerce under provisions of the Lee bill. The Lee hill is only one of a num ber of measures of more than ordi nary importance Introduced during the short, session of the house ami senate this afternoon. From reports i reived from the legislative bureau, employed to prepare bills for legts l .tors, there is a likelihood that the total number introduced at the end of the final introduction day, which is 20 legislative days nfter the con vening of the legislature, will he n t idy as great ns it was two years •n.

Caldwell of Oma ha Introduced a similar hill In the house. Douglas county legislators inter ested in passing the feeding hill assert it is significant that Caldwell Is a democrat, as Is Endres. Two years ago defeat of the measure was largely due to the fact that In the house Endres and his lieutenants were able to convert the fight into e party matter, with democrats aligned almost solidly with him.

And in that brief manner the deputy sheriffs, accused of maltreat ing prisoners, were informed by Judge Crawford at the erf* of the preliminary hearing in county court had ended for the day. A dozen witnesses had testified that Ernest Fee -and Jack Graham struck men during liquor raid* and several others told of the officers' brutality on other occasions. Complaining witnesses in two cases, charging Fee with assault and bat tery, were John Jacksie, 1414 South Thirteenth street, and Janies E. Ryan, 2201 Cuming street. Knocked Him Out. Jacksie testified that Fee, Graham and Phillips came to his home and that he was accompanying Fee on a search when Fee asked him where his mother had gone, Jacksie Raid she had gone for his clothes. “Fee said ‘You're a liar’ and hit me and I went down and nut," said Jacksie. Fee denied that he hit Jacksie or cursed him. Deputy Dan Phillips testified he saw Jacksie lying (here with blood over his face but said he didn’t know the cause. James Ryan testified that Fee en tored his place on Cuming street with Phillips and came directly to the liar and hit him in the face with a flashlight anil then struck him on the back of the head.

The deputies denied this, though they admitted a few “pushes" and "slaps.” "‘Is it possible," said the judge, ‘‘that three deputy sheriffs, in order to serve a search warrant on a man and his wife, peacefully retiring, have to beat them up? Even the deputies admit they saw the blood flowing from Herney's nose and mouth. And no body was arrested nor was any liquor taken out of the house as evidence.” Ill Several Days. The Herneys declared they didn't know the three men were officers til* they had been in the house some time.

Cedar Hapids, la., Jan. 13.—Albert Moore, 26, Indian "sheik" from Ofela homa City, is In a hospital here to night with both his eyes burned out and his face horribly scarred from lye hurled by the irrale husband of a squaw with whtfai Moore is said to have been unduly familiar. An investigation of the tragedy bv federal marshals disclosed one of the most amazing triangles of lovn which has ever been brought to light In the state of Iowa. The love triangle concerned Albert Moore, handsome, debonaire and well edueat-d: Amos Morgan, not so hand some. no so well educated, but the head Of a household, and Mrs Mor gan, wife of Amos, infatuated by the handsome "sheik." Near Fight on Reservation. M. E. Heaiy, federal marshal, list ened to a tale of intrigue, jealousy and determination to Invoke the nn written iaw to avenge the wrong don« a wife. While the federal marshal ques tioned the Indian two factions. on» ordinarily headed b.v Moore, the other by Morgan were gathering. Every man was armed and an outbreak war. for a time expected. The threat ened outbreak was averted only by quick action on the part of federal agents and the assurance that Mor gan would be charged with assault with Intent to commit great bodily injury and that the justice of the white man would be meeted out. Husband Tells htorj. Moore screams constantly from pain as he lie* on his cot at the ho* pital. No coherent statement <*n be obtained from him. Morgan showed a willingness to tel lhis side of the story and most of the facts In hi* alleged confession were supported by statements from Mrs. Morgan. Only once during the day did Moore speak intelligently enough for the officers to grasp what he meant. That was when he denied the charges of Morgan. Moore, according to information which the officers have obtained, tame to the reservation about four month* ago. He owned an automo bile. and. Mrs. Moore says, gave the squaws lemon extract. The Indians, for several years, have used lenmn extract aa a substitute for whisky. In this way the buck gained the confidence and the friendship of the Indian women. Then started a series of flirtations. Caught at Dance. Saturday night the Indians held a Jance on the reservation. Morgan tid hi« wife attended, as did Moore. Throughout the (evening Morgan set against the wall of the dance hall, while his wife danced With Moore Finally, he determined to mar the beauty <*f his wife, the attractiveness of which had caused the disruption of lii* home Then he thought it would be better to mar the attrac tiveness of the man and save the squaw* of other Indians." As Moore left the dance hall Mor gan stepped from behind some hush es. his arm drew hack, then straight ened out. and Moore screamed with sudden pain. Morgan had thrown .a partially filled can of liquid Ive into the face of hi* rival. Moore was taken to a hospital «t once. There it was disco\ ered that his eves were gone, burned out bv the Ive, his face drawn and seemed hv the eame liquid.
