LORIMER MAY 1)1)11 RUMOR THAT HE WILL ESION HIS SENATE 8EAT. STORY IS NOT CONFIRMED Senate Devotes a Whole Day to DIs cutsion of Illinois Senator's Case. Washington. In the cloak rooms of the senate Friday there was much discussion of a persistent rumor that Senator Lorimer might resign before the new inquiry is actually author ized, to protect his friends from the attacks of those seeking to unseat him. Neither his colleague. Senator Cullom, nor any of the members of the Illinois delegation in the house, would admit they bad any knowledge of such an intention on the part of Mr. Lorimer. After devoting practically the whole session to the discussion of the pro posed reinvestigation of the election of Senator Lorimer, the senate ad journed without action, determined to proceed again with the question at its next sitting Monday. Senator La Follette concluded his fourday speech and announced that when the voting stage is reached he will so change his resolution as to provide that the senate shall elect an investigating committee of five from among the new senators. Senator Borah supported the La Follette pro position, and Senators Bailey and Dillingham opposed it. Mr. La Follette said he had been In fluenced to introduce his resolution for special committee on inquiry fol lowing the Illinois investigation. New investigators had been provided for because he believed that the question should go to a committee not-handicapped by a previous decision. The next investigating committee, he felt, must have the confidence of the people, which he did not believe the old standing committee on privi leges and elections would have. The public, he said, would consider the old committee packed from the beginning, even as has been charged in connec tion with the Illinois juries in prose cutions growing out of the case. Mr. La Follette said if he were a member of the old committee he would not consent to serve on the new one, because he would not feel capable of an impartial verdict. Mr. Bailey said that all the demo cratic senators desired a new investi gation, he himself favoring it, be cause of the discovery of new evi dence. He said the public sentiment against Mr. Lorimer was not well in formed, because it had been shaped by newspaper expression rather than by reading of the testimony. Saying there had been no investiga tion by a special committee on an election case since the creation of the committee on privileges and elections in 1871, Chairman Dillingham, of that committee, expressed confidence that if the investigation should be placed in its hands it would present such a report as would command the respect of the senate and of the country. Senator Borah advocated a special committee in the interest of disinter estedness. Congress May Control Levees. Washington.

"EITHER ACT OR GET OUT ' Must Get Busy or Be Replaced by a Man Who Will Request to Don- ahue is But a Subterfuge. Governor Aldrlch sent a stinging letter to County Attorney English of Douglas county in which be states that that official's sidetracking of the recent communication sent out by him in regard to the enforcement of the Alberts disorderly bouse act does not meet with the executive's approval. He further says unreservedly that unless proceedings are instituted at once he will take steps to furnish Douglas county with an attorney who will not hesitate to conform with his wishes in the matter. The letter goes to Attorney Eng lish in reply to one received by Gov ernor Aldrich in which the Omaha man said lie had referred the state executive's communication to Chief of Police Donahue with a request for information of the existence of houses of ill-fame in the state's metropolis. In his letter Governor Aldrich says: "I observe that you say in your let ter that you bave transmitted to the chief of police of your city a copy of your letter to me and upon recelnpt of information you will take such steps as the evidence justifies. "Permit me to say. Mr. English, that I am calling on you as county attorney in and for Douglas county to enforce this one of the statutes of the state. If it had been the duty of the chief of police I would haVe call ed upon him and not upon you." "I do not be'ieve In French diplom acy. If I did. I would be tolerant of evasions, subterfuges and equivoca tions and in short, anything to evade a plain performance of duty. Chief Donahue is in no way under and by virtue of provisions of this statute connected officially with your office. Governor Aldrich then says that the statute is not hard to enforce and he quotes from its provisions to illus trate to the county official that his duty In the case is clear. "So when you refer this matter to the investigation of Chief Donahue I must plainly say that you are cer tainly not acting in good faith, and do not intend to enforce the law if you possibly can evade it. I have decided to see to it that this law is enforced and I shall use all the means -at my command to see that it is done. If it is necessary for me to get a new county attorney in Douglas coun ty to enforce this law. I shall take the necessary steps to do so and will not hesitate to assume this responsi bility. This measure is one of the most important to good government and to society that has ever been placed upon the statute books of this state. It is indisputable that these assignation houses are the headquar ters of murderers, criminals, thugs and thieves. When it is necessary to hold public meetings to provide for the safety of life it seems to me that no official should for an instant hesi tate to lend his most energetic aid In the performance of his duties. "Murders are too common and holdups too frequent to conduct the enforcement of this statute along dip lomatic lines for the purpose of evad ing a plain duty. You and you alone are called upon to do your duty in enforcing the provisions of the stat ute in question. I shall hold you and you alone responsible for Its enforce ment. Now it's up to you to say, 'Yes' or 'So: " Omahan is Elected. Dana Van Dusen. of Omaha, was elected editor-in-chief of the State University Cornhusker for next year.

Whedon against the Citizens' Railway company and the Lincoln Traction company, re turned a verdict in favor of the plain tiff and assessing the amount of his recovery at $1,809.09. State Banks Get Busy. The attention of Secretary Royse of the state banking board has been called to the fact that some state banks are now advertising that they are under the guaranty feature of the new banking act The guaranty pro vision of the law cannot be enforced, under the provisions of an amend ment adopted by the last legislature, till July 1. By that time all state banks will have received a certificate stating that they have complied with the laws of this state for the protec tion of bank depositors. SHORTEN UFE TERMS. Some Interesting Figures on the Pen itentiary. The last report of penitentiary con ditions show that there are 426 pr!s- oners at that institution, of which number 20 are under sentences vary ing from 10 to 40 years, while the rest are sent there for periods rangj ing from six months to tenyears. The figures show that there 'are of that number 321 whites, 98 negroes; 6 Indians, and 1 Korean. Two white and two negro women are included hi the number. During the last two years four were received at the in stitution under the death penalty, while six convicted of first degree murder have been sent up for life, as well as three who have been con victed of second degree murder. Dur ing the. biennium. which closed under Warden Smith, there were 31 prison ers received, who had been guilty of murder. Of this number 12 came from Douglas county. Thirty-six men were also brought in to serve time for attempts to kill. While in charge of the penitentiary. Warden Smith, after examining the records, found a life sentence In the light of the past has meant only about seven or eight years, and that the longest term served by any man sen tenced for the remainder of his years was only 15 years. This, despite the fact that many have been sent to the institution for life and many more for periods of from 20 to 35 years. -The penitentiary is almost self sustaining, as the books show. The maintenance cost for the last bien nium was $130,000, of which $38,000 was for salaries and wages. $65,000 for clothing, food and medicine and $27,000 for coal. The earnings' are put down at $137,000, the principal items being: From contractors, $94,' 000; farm products, $27,500; electric current for other state buildings, flu, 000; gate receipts, $2,500. Brokers Slow to Buy. State Treasurer George has ex pended all or the $600,000 received for the sale of bonds of other states with the exception of $133,000. He paid out 'the money for bonds issued by Nebraska counties and cities. He has just completed the purchase of $14,000 of Arapahoe refunding bonds and $8,000 of bonds issued by the town of Franklin for electric light. The bond broker who bought the Cal ifornia state bonds declined to accept $25,000 of the issue because the bonds were stamped not negotiable, so that the total sale of bonds of other states aggregates only $600,000. The total amount offered for sale was $4,000, 000. Negotiations for the sale of the balance of that amount are progress ing very slowly, brokers offering terms which the state board of edu cational lands and funds refuses to accept. Cups to Guard Officers. Adjutant General Phelps has re ceived and will present two bronze cups to officers of the Nebraska na tional guard for excellence in marks manship. One cup goes to Captain Iver S. Johnson, of Stanton. Company, B. First regiment, and the other to Captain Chris L. Anderson, of Nor folk, Company D, First regiment. The State Fair. Secretary Mellor, of the state board of agriculture, is of the opinion that if the other departments of the state fair show up as well as the speed department, the next fair will be a record-breaker. In the early closing races 233 horses have been named, while the highest number ever before entered was 1S7. Session Laws Early. Secretary of State Wait says that the session laws will be printed and ready for distribution by June 15. The copy on the laws was started to the printer as soon as they were deposit ed in the office of the secretary of state. Douglas County Appeals. The county commissioners of Doug las county have appealed to the at torney general from a ruling of State Auditor Barton holding that the State is not liable for the board of prison ers between the time of the bringing in of a verdict by a jury and the time of sentence by a district judge. Douglas, county has claims amounting to $3,000 hinging on this. Attorney General Martin, following a decision of Forme.' Attorney General Norris Brown, holds that the state is not liable until prisoners are sentenced. To Close Houses of Lewdness. Governor Aldrich has on his own initiative started a movement to close all houses of lewdness and assigna tion bouses in Nebraska. The 'last legislature passed an act which is now in force authorizing the closing of all such houses on relation of a county attorney or any citizen. The governor has notified the county at torneys of Douglas. Otoe. Platte.-Hall and Dodge counties to institute pro ceedings against such places. He says it devolves upon the county at torney to enforce the law. Guaranty Deposit Law. State banks which are instructed to report their average deposits for a period of six months so that the amount of their assessment under the guaranty of deposit law may be made have in many instances applied to Secretary Royse for further informa tion. Mr. Royse has replied that nothing must be deducted from the deposits except deposits otherwise se cured and to include in deposits the amount due from other banks, also time, and demand certificates of de posit certified and cashier's checks. Release of Prisoners. Sixteen prisoners at the state peni tentiary will be released during the month of June, of which number five are from Douglas county. Two of these were each, sent up for sixteen years for breaking and entering. One prisoner. Donnelly of Sioux county, who received eight years for man slaughter, will be released at that time, and Horalek of Dodge county, who was brought to Lincoln after be ing convicted for horse stealing, will see liberty after two years' time spent at the penitentiary. m BAKING POWDER IMhIIKMbM MfcMfMMlf We bmw that K wffl ghra r ha issulti Wefcaew that the bafcJae; wfllbe w We kaew that it will ha saoes am raised.
