Lincoln, Jan. 27.—Criticism of the management of the state banking bu reau and of the insurance and securi ties bureaus of the state was ev pressed today by Governor Adam Mc Mullen while delivering his budget message at a Joint session of the house and senate. Complete reorgani zation in these bureaus is absolutely necessary, the governor told the legis lature. ''During the last two years the of fice force and requisite number of ex aminers in the hankin gbureau were reduced to such a point that bank ex an)inatlons were hurriedly conducted and examiners' findings were given scant attention in connection with re ported irregularities,'' the governor said. "The records of thus department show that 183 banks in the state have not been examined since June 30, 1924, and it building and loan associations and two trust companies have re ceived no attention whatever sinya the year 1923. Need Additional Examiners. “If the bureau of banking of this department is to attain the results desired, it will be necessary to install an experienced man at Its head w hose undivided attention can be given ex aminers’ reports bearing on problems and, difficulties existing under toe guaranty system. It also will be nec essary to Increase the number of ex aminers from nine to 12, in order that the 925 banks in the state may be examined once every six months, as provided by law. "The conditions in the insurance and securities bureaus are similar to those in the banking division. They need to be systematized and reorgan ized in order to function effectively. Fortunately, this can be done with out a material Increase In the current appropriation." Liquor Law Filed. In the senate today, Reed of Hen derson, introduced a bill providing that six months shall elapse after service on a defendant before a di vorce can tie brought t otrial. Janigii lin of Beatrice introduced a hill mak ing Incurable Insanity grounds for divorce action.

Demurrer of Collins Overrule^ --r 1 Argument of Poffenbargt„ That Indictment Improp erly Drawn Under Advisement. Trial to Start Today First score In the trials of Keith Collins and Fred Poffenbarger, jr., on charges of rifling mail pouches went to the government. The hearing of pleas on demurrers in the two cases opened In federal court In Council Bluffs yesterday afternoon. Collins’ demurrer was overruled by Judge Martin J. Wade and the two demurrers of PolTen barger were taken under advisement. The hearing was first scene of the second trial of the two young men on charges growing out of the rob bery of a mail train in Council Bluffs In November, 1921. The defendants were released from the Leavenworth (Kan.) penitentiary a few months ago, after serving a portion of the sen tence meted out after their first trial. They were arrested again Immediate ly after leaving the courtroom on a second indictment obtained after their imprisonment began. It is on this indictment that the two are now to be tried. Collins Fights Indictment. Attorneys for the defense argued, in the Collins case, that the defend ant was improperly Indicted. They declared that the indictment did not identify the mail alleged to have been stolen as government property. The Indictment also mentioned removing mail, although the law made no men tion of removing mall as part of the crime. The prosecution contended that the indictment was correct. That the fact that the mall was government property was Inferred by the very fact that it was mall and was con tained in a mail car at the time of the robbery. The removal of mall was contained in the interpretation of the word, steal, they said. Judge Wade ruled with the prose cutjon on this point, overruling the demurrer. Demurrer Scored. Ross Mowry, United States district attorney, flayed the demurrer in the Poffenbarger case, which contended that the defendant was falsely indict ed, in that the Indictment hamed a Fred A. Poffenbarger as defendant. The defense pointed out that Fred Poffenbarger, Jr., had never been known as Fred A. Poffenbarger. The prosecution argued that the In dictment is correct. The rase was taken under advisement by th« judge. Rulings on the Poffenbarger Indict ment will he made this morning. The Collins trial will likely open this after noon.

Muscle Shoals Is Referred Back to Senate by House Conference Proposed to Settle Differences in Time for Final Action at This Cngress Session. Washington, Jan. 27.—The house late today, by a vote of 1S1 to 41, (j-dered the Underwood bill authoriz ing the lease of Muscle Shoals to pri vate interests sent to conference with the senate, in an effort to ad just differences in time for final ac tion at this session of congress. The appointment of house conferences puts the matter again up to the sen ate, where the selection of managers to confer with those of the house is expected to arousj; considerable dis cussion. Fight Over Conferees. If senate conferees friendly to the Underwood bill are to be named. It will he necessary to depart from the usual custom of selection, since all of those in regular line for the appoint ment opposed the measure whesi it was before the senate. Supporters of the bill contend that these senators, headed by Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska, leaders of the opposition, could not conscien tiously represent the senate in con ference. and they are prepared to fight for selection of friendly mana gers on the senate floor if necessary. Senator Norris tonight declined 4o discuss his attitude on the selection of conferees but Indicated lhat he would object to departure from the usual practice. New Measure Perhaps. The house action today gives the conferees of the two chambers a rather free hand In adjusting dif ferences over Muscle Shoals legisla tion. since the house measure which would be present to them will be the hill passed at the last session accept ing the bid of Henry Ford, which sub sequently was withdrawn. This makes the difference between the senate and house Involve, in effect, all of each hill, and It therefore appears to tie within their power for Ihe con ferees to work out an entirely new measure to lie reported back to their respectlve chambers.
