* Tlio University Muddle.
LiXfot.N , Neb. , March 7. [ Special to TUB
Bun. ] "There Is a Krc.it deal of this Hill
ings controversy and university tnuddlo that
U unwritten history , " says 0110 in n position
to know. "At the tlmo it was proposed to
cngaire Hillings letters wcro received from
tlie east by Clmnccllor Manatt saying Hill
ings hiul been visionary , quarrelsome and
illsturbing In the Institutions with which ho.
was connected.Munntt consequently op
posed his appointment. Billings did not
wait to ho called , but came on and camped
on the Held of action. Regent Cure , of the
Stale- Journal , and Manatt had been close
friends previously , but Hilling * gained the
ear of Gere , whoso friendliness for Manatt
thenceforth gradually cooled and changed
Into antagonism. Tliero Is no denying thut
BillitiKS Is n thoroughly posted man in Ills
particular line and lie Is exceedingly
plausible. I can't say just what arguments
ho used with Gere , but I sco on the desks of
the legislators it Hillings bulletin of nearly
flvo hundred pages that was printed at the
State .Journal olllce.
"At a inoetmi * of the regents of the state
university , held Just a year ago. Prof. Bcs-
sey and Treasurer Dales brought in an esti
mate to appropriate $12,000 of the state urn
vcrslt.v's monies for the agricultural experi
mental station. I believe J-,001) ) of it was to
apply on Hillings' ' salary ( the other $1,500 to
come from the government allowance of
$15,000) ) and the remainder was forttio equip
ment and operation of the station. Mnnnatt
had given notice that ho would oppose the
diversion of the stain's money to bo squan
dered on Hillings and his hobby , and thnt
made the open breach between Mnnnatt and
Gere which led to the chancellor's dismissal.
In the meeting of ttio reeonts the estimate
was opposed by Regent Hurnham , of Omaha ,
and Hegent Mullnllo.u , of Kearney , and was
defeated. This quarrel led up to the dis
missal of Mannatt from the chancellorship in
ttio July following.1'
Hegent Mullaliuu Is at the capital and was
asked about the statement Hint , an attempt
was made to divert $12,000 from the ' univer-
Blt.v fund to the experiment station.
"I cannot recall the circumstances of that
meeting , without referring to thu minutes.
but you can say that I strenuously opposed
nil propositions to spend on the experimental
elation any state money in addition to the
815,000 allowed by the government. "
"What about Billmgsl"
"I tlilnlc I have received moro petitions
for his retention than for his removal. Hil
lings is educated , a scientist of ability , but
ho is narrow , one-sided , controveraal and
Impracticable. I think ho lias demonstrated
the existence of a germ in hoc cholora. As to
the cfllciency of inoculation , I think the ver
dict must Btund 'not proven. ' Hillings himself -
self admits that ho is not qualillcd to carry
his theoi y to u conclusion and make it of prac
tical benefit. Ho wants to separate from the
cholera germ the poison which produces the
disease. That is a chemist's work anil Hil
lings is not chemist enough to do it. Hillings
has long boon u disturbing element In the
university. I think Mr. Bunilmrn and Mr.
Hull , like myself , feel that his term of use
fulness has expired. Mr. Gere and Mr.
Roberts are staunch supporters of the pro
fessor , undl presume that lr. Davis is also , so
that the board of regents is equally divided.
As long ago as last March there was talk of
dismissing Hillings , but he was in the midst
of his experiments. If ho had gone to an
other institution and boon successful the
regents would have been called fools for
letting him go. But we did tins : Instead of
encaging him for a year we employed him
from month to month. Ho is now engaged
on that understanding has no fixed term of
olllco und'iuay bo dismissed at the end of any
month. Just now ho is experimenting with
smut and claims to have discovered its germ.
He may como forward with a proposition to
Inoculate the hills of corn. "
"Would the regents heed a resolution of
the legislature asking the dismissal of Bil
lings } "
' I understand there Is a gengral belief on
the part of the public that the regents would
resent any Interference by the legislature us
unwarranted , " replied Mr. Mallaliou , "but I
thin I ; the regents have bean misrepresented.
While they are nn independent body , elected
by the people and not subject to legislative
control , I thiulc such a resolution would betaken
taken as advisory , bo carefully considered
and have great weight in determining our
conclusion. Of course I do not speak for the
board. It is my Individual impression. "
"When do the regents moot uoxti"
"Wo have a meeting called for next
month. "
' Will anything bo done In the Billings
inattor ! "
"I do not know. I am only ono of the six
regents. Hull will say this : Even if Prof.
Hillings bo dismissed , I am in favor of con
tinuing the investigation for a prevuntativo
or n euro of hog cholora. The salary of the
investigator is not to bo considered if there
Is uny prospect of making u discovery that
Will f ave Nebraska farmers millions of del
lars. There are other ublo scientists who
can carry on the work as well ns Prof. Bll-
llngn without his antagonisms und flights in
other lines. "
"What about the industrial college and
Btuto farml"
"I favored selling most of the state farm
flurlng the Lincoln boom , " Said * , Mr. Mnllu-
lieu , "retaining only ' thirty or forty ucrcs for
experimenting. 'Ttint proposition was do-
fouled , some1'1 of the gentlemen concerned
thinking the boom was permanent. 1 then
favored leaning the property , but that also
was defeated. 1 think the model farm idea
should bo dropped , It Is expensive and 1m-
lirnctlcatjlo. The young fellows from the
farm don't como here to learn to plow. They
know moro about practical fanning than the
professors themselves. My idea is to enlarge
the scope of the industrial school und model
It after the manual training schools that have
proven so successful in the east. Jf wo could
liuvo sold the farm during the boom wo would
huvo had funds to establish such a school on n
stroog footing. I : < m not sure but it may be
the wisest thing even now to convert the
farm into money , whatever It will bring , and
make a start In the right direction. "
The SlukliiK Kimd Hill.
Li.vcor.ir , Nob. , March 7. [ Special to THE
IlBiJ Senator Taggert's sinking fund bill
is ono of the most Important mo.uurcs of the
session , but has attracted little notice. Now ,
that it has found favor in tlio sonata und
been brought to public attention it Is ex
pected that a honlo of county treasurers and
bunkm-d will rush to Lincoln to defeat it in
the liouso.
"TJio bill will uavo the people of Nebraska
many thousands of dollars every year , " ex
plains Senator Taggart , "County bonds are
usually Issued for n term of twenty years.
To meet tholr payment a tax of one-twentieth
of the aggregate sum Is levied each year and
paid Into a sinking fund kept by the county
treasurer , The oxibllng law provides ttut
the sluicing fund may bo Invested In United
States or state securities. As u matter of
fact Mich Investment in impracticable in a
majority of cases uud the sinking iuiul ro-
mams ( n possession of the treasurer. Of
course ha doesn't keep it in his vault. Ho do-
JK > SIU it in pot bunks nnd gets favors in
return , whiio the county receives nothing
for the use of its money , which continues to
pile up for twenty years. On thu ether hand
the county is constantly orderlnu' labor , sup
plies , etc. , without means of paying thcrulor
tintll the next lev. ) und collection of taxes.
That may be alx months or a year , nnd In
some cases eighteen months in the future.
Thu consequence U th'i county has to give
Us creditor u duo bill known UK a
warrant. If the cretlltcr needs money , und
lie generally does , ho gees to u banU or a
shaver and gets his warrant cashed. Thosu
warrants boar interest. Seven per cent Is
probably the aver-ago , The sbuvors demand
it discount of 10 par cent. Do you sou how it
works I The banker gout his cash from the
county for nothing ( except the divvy to thu
treasurer ) , and turns around und gets 17 per
rent on it for currying tlio county's debts.
It is reasonuDlo to conclude .that If the emi
tter can give a banker , u 10 rcr cent > tuvi > h'o
could glvo the county tho'bencflt of the same
discount on n cash deal , so that In the long
run the county Is actually paying 17 per cent
foc'thd use of its own money. My bill pro
vides thnt the county treasurer shall buy
these warrants from the cash on hand In the
sinking fund , the interest on the warrants to
go into the fund. As nn Inducement for the
creditors to sell their warrants tar the treas
urer Instead of to n banker , the bill provides
that tne treasurer shall buy tlio warrants nt
their face. The bill will taito thousands
upon thousands of dollars from the county
treasurers nnd the money lenders , but It will
leave the money In the people's pockets , "
The bill is an amendment to flection 15 ,
chapter 9 , of the compiled statutes of 1SS7 ,
entitled "Municipal bonds. " The essence of
the charge Is embodied in n now proviso
rending as follows :
"That the county treasurer , whenever
there uro outstanding warrants of tlio
county , general- county , road or county
bridge funds Issued In compliance with sec
tion > , nrticlo 1 , chapter 18 , of the compiled
statutes , and thcro arc no moneys In the
county treasury to the credit of said funds to
meet said warrants , shall purchase said war
rants out of said sinking fund of said county ,
for which ho shall pay par to the amount of
said sinking fund less amount required to
meet annual or scnil-nunual interest on the
bonds siild sinking fund is Intended to meet.
The treasurer shall register In the name of
said MnKing fund and pay them off In their
regular order , name as other warrants uro
paid , reinvesting said sinking fund ns war
rants are presented. The interest ncoruIng
shall ho accounted for in the treasurer's set
tlement with county clerk and commission-
i-rs and be credited to the said county sink
ing fund. "
"Morrissor Couldn't Prove It.
LINCOLN' , Neb. . March 7. ( Special Tele
gram to Tin : Bun. ] Tlio Scovlllo committee ,
which was appointed to investigate the
charges of bribery In connection with the
submission vote lu the house preferred by
Morrlssoy , has llleij its report nnd llnds
nothing to substantiate the charges , The
full report Is us follows , and is'sinned by
every member of the committee :
We were met at the threshold of the in
vestigation and throughout its course with
the difficulty inseparable from all investiga
tions of alleged bribery , namely , the mutual
Implication of the briber und the bribed un
der the law. As long as thu law remains as
it is now It will be extremely diflietilt if not
Impossible to convict persons guilty of brib
ery. Wo have spared no pains or effort to
make our investigation thorough and
certain. Wo sent for and examined under
oath every witness suggested by Mr. Morrissey -
rissey , ns well as every one that rumor con
nected with any knowledge of the subject.
Morrlssoy was present nt such examinations
mid was accorded every facility for sugges
tions and cross-examination of witnesses.
While our inquiry has elicited much inter
esting information touching the submission
contest in the house , it is of a vague and in
definite character as bearing upon the con
duct of'individuals. Your committee , however -
over , has ho hesitation in saying that the
evidence shows thnt certain persons inter
ested in tlio defeat of submission furnished
money to bo used for that purpose. Mr.
Her , who testified before your committee ,
stated thnt ho gave the sum of $3,500 to Mr.
W. II. H. Stout , to bo used in defeating sub
mission , and that ho placed no limitations or
conditions upon Mr. Stout as to how the
money was to bo used. Ho also stated that
Mr. Stout hud returned all but about f 1,000
of the money so furnished , but that no ac
counting had been made as to the $1,000 , and
hence he did not know how it had been used.
Mr. Stout denied that ho had received any
money from Mr. Her or other persons to bo
used in the defeat of submission. Ho also
Hotly contradicted Mr. Her in other particu
lars. Hut whether the money so furnished
wus in fact used , or to whom it was paid , if
to anyone , your committee is wholly unable
to say from the evidence produced. Wo
have exhausted every means at our command
to trace money into the hands of members of
the house and have diligently and without
favor endeavored to fasten guilt wherever it
might belong , but wo have failed to ascertain
facts sufficiently definite or certain upon
which to base a charge of improper conduct
against any member of this house. We feel
it our duty in concluding this report to ex
press our severest condemnation of the rep
rehensible method and means which we
think the cvideuco shows outside persons arc
willing to bring to bear upon this house , and
to express a liopo that this investigation will
at least servo as a warning to all such per
sons that their corrupt designs uro held in
detestation by this honorable body. Wo
herewith return to the house all the evi
dence taken during our investigation for
such disposition as it may in its wisdom see
lit to make of iu
Billings Resigns.
LINCOLN , Nob. , March 7. [ Special Tele
gram to Tim DEB. ] In an open letter ad
dressed to the stock breeders of Nebraska ,
Dr. Billings formally tenders his resignation
as the head of the palho-biological labora
tory , the hog killing station , to take effect on
tlio 1st day of next July. This move has
created no surprise- has been apparent
for some days that the general assembly
would settle the flat that ho must go ; and
the doctor forestalls a practical bounce by
indicating now what his action will bo at the
next regular sitting of the board of regents ,
which takes place early in April. The letter
he addresses to tlio stock breeders of the
stale is quite lengthy. Among ether things
he says that Ills principal reason for taking
the stop is the probable fact that the legisla
ture will cut down the university appropria
tions , and especially the sum asked for the
laboratory , because of him , but ho prefaces
this with the statement that it cannot bo an
immediate resignation because bo has cer
tain work in hand that must bo completed
and published , which will show the farmers
and breeders of the state how to protect their
herds from at least two diseases , but ho
leaves the reader to speculate as to what
they arc. Ho arraigns his enemies , espec
ially D. K. Salomon , chief of the bureau of
animal industry , Washington , D. C. , wipes
his feet on tlio late state veterinarian , Dr.
Gcrth , and others of thu live stock commis
sion , extols his friends and then asks tlie
question , "Why rosignJ" In concluding his
letter Hillings promises to llnish bis war It by
the 1st of July and than depart for other
Holds. He indicates , however , that his ex
periments will bo continued at some other
point ,

The railroad committee reported that
house roll 411 , n bill by Johnson to reduce
tlio number of secretaries of tlio state board
of transportation from three to ono , bo in
definitely postponed.
Johnson moved , to amend by placing the
bill on general file and made a lengthy
speech in favor of the motion. Ho said the
work of the board was merely clerical , and
ono member could do the work as well as
throe.
Olmstead thought that If the railroads
could control throe members , ns itr Is now
claimed they do , it would bo much easier to
control ono.
Caldwell said the legislature could do no th
ing to suit the railroads better than to abolish
the commission. Ho know it was imperfect ;
that the attorney general prepared the briefs ,
sat on hia own case , and executed judgment ,
but that it was better than no commission.
MeByido hoped the bill would be placed on
the general ( lie , and would oppose the appro
priation for oven one secretary.
Uurnliam thought the present board should
bo maintained.
Uallard opuoscd the motion and defended
thu commission.

Judge Mason and Mr. Munger both practiced
law about six days in the week and only gave
an occasional day to tlio service of the state f
% Hallard was unable to say whether this
was true or not.
{ lull was isatisflcd that the state board
could got along with ono. Two of the secre
taries perform scarcely any duty except draw
their unlades , and this they do with amazing
regularity.
Cady believed the commission system
would prove the final solution of the railroad
problem , but wanted fair play , and favored
placing the bills on file.
Johnson accepted an amendment making
all railroad bills a special order for 7:110 :
Tuesday evening , and the motion wus

House roll 459 , a modified compulsory edu
cation bill , introduced bv Mr. Stlrk , was
placed on the general Illo this morning. The
bill provides that pupils shall be compelled

Representative Towlo of Knox , who is fast
forging to the front as ono of the most level
headed members , got u good joke on Olm-
stead. When the gentleman from Adams
was speaking in favor of the Inspection bill ,
nnd detailing how Armour was cutting down
the price of cattle raised by Nebraska farm
ers , Towlo arose nnd said : "Sinoo brother
Olmstoad has taken to advocating the cause
of the farmer , I think lie ought to bo sus
tained. " The remark was appreciated by
everybody in the house.
The death of Hon. C. W. Hays , of York ,
was a great surprise to the members. Very
few know thut ho was ulelr , nnd none that ho
was dangerously ill. Ho was a quiet mom-
bnr , but true as stdol to the interests of the
people.
Among the visitors to-day was the Hon. J.
E. Kelly , of Alma. Ho was a member of
the legislature many years ago , from Platte
county , and from J8i4 ( to 1S75 ho was n rcsi- '
dent of Omaha , m He is hero to help defeat
the bill authorizing a bare majority of the
voters to changotho : location of county seats.
Hampton , of Wdbstor , is proving a very
valuable member1 , . , Ho has a pointed way of
asking questions i that cannot be evaded.
