"Did you make any Inquiry to find out why they got there ? " asked Chair- nan Hamlin. 'j ' "I did , " said Secretary Knox , "and i could learn nothing. " I At this point Secretary Knox added a new element to the mystery. "You will be interested in another receipt from Mr. Rosenthal that is at- : ached to the papers , " he said to the committee. "It was signed January 18 , 1904 , nnd is for $790 , with a nota- : ion that $60 for the frame of Secre- : ary Day's picture had boon paid to a Washington picture dealer.

" demanded - - manded Secretary Knox with heat. j | "Thero is no intention to reflect on yon personally , Mr. Secretary , " re turned the chairman , "but I am strong ly of the opinion that this was prepared . pared after this inquiry began. " I "Then you think that Mr. Rosen- thai has written nt least part of this j | receipt since the tlmo indicated In it ? " asked Mr. Knox. Mr. Hamlin replied that ho thought It was a curious receipt and that he' ' intended to probe the circumstances to the bottom. I "I,111 welcome such nn investlga-j i tion , " snkl Secretary Knox , "and If you can show that any ono in the stato' ' department was cognizant of such an1 act , there will bo iomo vacancies in ! the department.

I Lincoln , June 14. Radical changes In almost every moving picture house In Nebraska are promised by the adopj j j tion of new rules and regulations by , Deputy Labor Commissioner Louis V.

Under the deputy labor commission er's interpretation of the law , the little , narrow exit at either side of the i stage in moving picture houses must be enlarged to doorways three feet wide by six feet and six Inches high. I . Mr. Guyo believes the prevailing nar- j row exits near the stage are worse i than no exit , because they are nn Invi- j j j tation for the people to crowd Into an' ' Impossible opening and that in case of i a fire or a panic the narrow openings would be worse than none. There is no emergency clause at tached to the new law , but it states j that nfter the approval of the act it shall bo in effect. The act was signed by the governor April 10. It provides that every hotel , boarding house , store house , tenement house , every building now or hereafter used in whole or in part as a public building , public or private institution , office or store , school house , theater , public hall , place of assemblage , or place of pubj j He resort moro than two stories high j and containing above the ground lloor i sir oping apartments , work rooms , etc. , j shall be provided with ono or more fire ! escapes constructed on the outside of I i the building.

Tlu > y any they arc not trying to got n man down there for less money , but what they do want Is a policeman who will bo of service to them.
