: luse Measure is Referred Back lor Amsiidmsnl , -MEETS WITH -Taylor Believes Its Passage Would In troduce Politics liitq- State Univer. sity Bill Introduced in Senate to Establish School of Citizenship. Lincoln , J > > n. 20. The needs of the state university promises to be one of the most difficult problems tor the leg islators to solve. The board of regents thought at first to ask for an increase in the 1 mill levy in order to raise sufficient revenue to pay the expenses of the institution , but gave up this idea and will ask in addtion to : he l mill levy , a specific sum for the con struction of more buildings. .F The situation was more complicated by a request from Mr. Bryan to the regents to establish a "school of poli tics , " for which an additional building would be required. The regents would not accept this suggestion , saying that they were already asking the legisla ture for as much money as they could hope to secure. After several confer ences with Mr. Bryan he agreed to be satisfied if the regents would consent to the establishment of a "school oi citizenship" in the university The regents expressed their individual pro test against this , but decided not to fight a bill requesting them to do this The bill was introduced in the senate by Senator Miller of Lancaster county Just what will happen to this bi ; and how it will affect the appropria tion for the university cannot bt cre told , but the action of the house on a bill to permit the regents to estab'/.si , "new departments at their discretion is an indication. This bil : was re ferred back to the committee of the whole tor the specific amendment to strike out the words quoted Taylor of Custer county Jed the fight for the amendment and he had the indorse ment of Xettleton of Clay , former speaker. Mr. Taylor's reasons were that this authority granted the regents would open the way for future .argb appropriations. Later , in an Inter view , he said he believed its passage would introduce politics into the uni versity , though he felt satisfied that neither Mr Bryan nor the iec2ius wanted" this brought about. Sergeant-at-Arms to Eject Lobbyists. The anti-lobby law , which prevents. by a penalty , any person save ihose representing cities , towns or state in Etitutions interested in legislation from influencing the legislators ex cept by appearing before committees , by publication or the filing of "criers , was not sufficient for the house mem bers. On motion of Stoecker of Doug las county a resolution was adopted that any lobbyist appearing on the floor of the house should be ejected bodily by the sergeant-at-arms. In thB meantime some of those who have in the past been lobbyists or who have appeared in Lincoln to look attei legislation have an amendment to the anti-lobby law to propose. This pro posed amendment provides that any member who hunts up a lobbyist to ask him what he is representing should be made to suffer a penalty , fhis party , w.ho is a former lobbyist , said he had been approached by several members who desired to know what he Is representing this year. As the person was not registered , and was subject to a penalty should he talk to the members of legislation , he pro fessed to be very much embarrassed by the questions. The lobby book at this time contains the following names , with the inter ests each represents : Frances B Heald , W. C. T. U. ; C. C.

Heretofore it has been the experience ; r Nebraska that often the work of one year is ruined the next by a change jn the system of road Duiiding. It is to avoid this that the committee hopes to create a centra ; officer to be m charge or the work It is beginning to look as though Xebraska vvill at last construct a mon uinent to the memory of Abraham Lin coin on the state house grounds. Tht bill appropriating § 15,000 for tnis pur pose has been secommentled lor pas sage in the house and will be passed , and it is thought it will receive like treatment in the senate Both the house and senate have been invited tc take part in the Lincoln centennial celebration in Lincoln Fob 12 , and this , it is thought , will help along tht sentiment for the measure House Begins to Pass Bills. The house began to pass bills the first of this week , though it was in a position to pass or kill several fcatur- day , but adjourned just wnen the com mittee on enrolled and engrossed bills was ready to report. Save the Uvo ap propriation bills , one to appropriate § 20UOO lor incidental expenses of the leg.slature and the other to appropri ate $30,000 to pay the salaries ct me memoers and employees , no bills were passed until Monday. Incidentally , the delay of the en roil ing committee to get those appropna lion bills to the president of tie ien ate for his signature previous to tht senate adjournment caused a deiay in Lhe niembeis getting to tne strong bo.\ Df several days. The bills were aii ready except this signature Saturday LO go to the governor. The commuu- . started down with them , when sonie : ne recalled that the president of tln.- = enate had-not signed them.

Conference at Lincoln on Bank Guaranty Bill. Legislature Has Drainage Problem to Solve High Water Makes It Neces sary to Provide New Measure to Cope With Situation. Lincoln , Jan. 27. The principal pro visions of the bank guaranty law that is to be passed by the legislature were agreed upon at a conference of Demo cratic leaders with W. J. Bryan and Governor Shallenberger at the execu tive mansion. There were present Senator Volpp and Representative Graf , chairmen of the senate and house banking committees , and sev eral leading members of both houses. The bill which Mr. Bryan wishes passed will be a compulsory act and for immediate payment even as dis tinguished tfom Senator Volpp's thir ty-day payment provision , it having been impressed on the members that this is necessary and Mr. Bryan de sires losses shall be made good the moment the bank can be checked up. The bill must also have a tax equal to 1 per cent of the average deposits and the maximum levy in any one year must not exceed 2 per cent of the deposits in emergencies. The money is to be reinvested in the banks and they are to furnish securit'es to the state for safety. The understanding is the banking committees will get together on a measure of this character and will re port it to the two houses as a commit tee bill. Suffrage Bill Goes to General File. There is every indication that the proposed woman suffrage bill will have hard sledding in the present leg islature. Indeed , it near lost its stand ing at one fell swoop when the sen ate committee having in in charge re ported the bill adversely. Senator Miller , author of the measure , was quickly on his feet to say that he had not been notified of its being consid ered in committee , and thus securing a recommendation that the bill go to the general file. It is not believed the bul will ever reach the top of that file. A joint commission of the commit tees on roads of the house and' senate gave promise of future action. A bill introduced by Senator Laverty of Saunders county some time ago' re ceived considerable attention and is to be pushed to passage. It provides that road building shall be in charge of the state engineer and that the state shal bear 50 per cent of the ex pense of repairing and opening new roads. The 50 per cent paid by the county will go into the state treas ury and the expense will be" appor tioned according to the valuation which the different counties bear to the entire state valuation. Although this will make the taxa tions of large counties very high for roads , it is considered just , since the cities reap the benefits of good roads leading to the principal cities and jtowns in the state. A number of oth er measures are before the legislature. Legislature Has Drainage Problem. Drainage and its control has been the subject of a number of confer- pnpes held here recently by attorneys from Wahoo , Ashland , Fremont and other places wtyere recent overflows have brought new problems to the communities and forced upon the resi dents the necessity of providing new laws to meet them. Both house and senate , when they convened early in , the session , added a new standing committee on drainage which will take the bills as soon as they are in- troduced. For two sessions the legis lature has passed drainage laws in tended to permit property owners in certain districts to act together and drain swampy lands. As a result of the floods of last year added problems have arisen. Valuable lands have been flooded and the purpose of the acts is to provide a way to cope with this situation also. The house , by a vote of 48 to 29 , passed the bill providing that the state canvassing board shall hereafter count the votes of November elections and declare the result , instead of the legis lature. It makes more definite the present law , and has a direct bearing en the contest for supreme court jus tices , wherein appointments have been made by the outgoing and incoming governors. Twenty-three Democrats voted with the twenty-five Republicans. GIRL P5AD FROM FRIGHT. Maud Olson Scared to Death by Trif ling Explosion on Stove , Newman Grove , Neb. , Jan , 27.

LZCICES FAV3A CT r.AJLP.OACS Judc.c Wur.gcr Rules Apical Can Be Taken to l-cderal Courts. Lincoln , Jan. 27. A rul.ns made here by United States District Judge Thomas C. Mungcr has the effect of nullifying so much ol an enactment of the Nebraska legislature of two years ago as piohibits railroad corporations irorn appealing to ieileiai courts from orders of tne state railway commis sion. The act of the legislature pro vided that in appeals that the cases should be taken to the state courts. The railroad commission ordered the Burlington and Northwestern railroads to construct switches at the town of York for the transfer of cars from one line to the other. The two railroads contested the order and appealed to the federal court. The "stnte attorney general , in behalf of the commission , demurred and advanced the state law compelling actions to be started in state courts. Judge Munger overruled this demurrer , holding the appeal to the federal court to be within the pro vince - ince of the roads. Judge Munger did not pass upon the merits of the com mission's order to build the switches. MOTHER KILLS BABES AND SELF. Father Returns From Trip to Town ' ar.d Discovers Bodies.
