THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ; WEDNESDAY , MARCH 20 , 1893 , tlesporato efforts have been mndo to convince - * ' * Mr Greene that there are no grounds for Impeachment. It Is stated that one matter that was over looked In the original report was the fact that the members of the Board of Public I/inds nnd Bnildinxs were repeatedly notified regarding the irregular manner In which affairs connected with the building of the cell house were being conducted. This notice was conveyed to them Iwtli by ex- Governor Boyd and by ex-Warden Million , nnd they were also notified through the tiross , Other Irrnguhirttlcs Found. The Investigation Into the manner In which the board conducted Its business is still the subject of Invostlifation by some of the house committees and It Is stated that the committee that Is looking after the state Institutions has found another lot of evi dence in connection with the reform school nt Kearney. It bus been discovered that anew now method of procedure went Into effect about two years ago , shortly after the pros- cnt Impeachables went Into onico. Not withstanding the fact that the lawdlstlnctly provides that all vouchers shall bo receipted Jor by the party In whoso favor they are drawn. It has been the custom to bunch the warrants nnd let the superintendent of the institution draw the money and pay it out on his personal cheek. Ono Instance was found where four vouchers aggregating over Jl.ilOO were hunched and the warrant Issued in favor of an individual who. o interest in it amounted to but $ " . Wai So Ordered hy thn Itmiril , To the credit of Superintendent Mallallcu of the Kearney Institution bo It said that no Instances worn found where ho had failed to pay out the money as directed , but ho was not satlsllcd with that manner of doing bus iness and sn wrote the Board of Public Lands and lluildings. Ho received a letter from Deputy Auditor Bowi-rman Informing him that the board wanted all vouchers bunched from that time forward , and ho complied with the instructions. A copy of that letter from Bowerman is now in the hands of the committee , and will bo Intro duced In evidence. It will readily be seen that the bars were thrown down for gross corruption , oven If none was practiced in that Institution , as Institutions where the oftlcers were In collusion with the plunder ers and steals of considerable magnitude could bo engineered without any great risk of being discovered. The records in the auditor's odlco show that this plan was followed at allot the state institutions during the past two years , and It Is during those two years that many of the steals that have como to light were perpe trated. In Connection with the I'nnltontlnry. Inquiry Is also being made as to the dispo sition that was made of lumber that was taken to the penitentiary and paid for out of the celt house fund. Some of It was used to floor a barn at the penitentiaryand a lot more was taken over to Lincoln park to build the ice chutes for parties who were taking ice out of Salt creek. Another lot of lumber , only half an inch thick , was taken out there and a voucher for $117 explains what was paid for It , but It didn't go into the cell house , although it was paid for out of that fund. The evidence of workmen who were employed there , is that it went into the shop of the Western Manufacturing company and was used in the manufacture of its articles. The failure of the prison contractor to build the eighty stone cells that are still duo the state in accordance with the terms of the contract was brought up In the house this afternoon in connection with the concurrent resolution calling for the ab- rocation of the contract. It was asked why the Board of Public Lands and Buildings hadn't required compliance with the contract in that tespcct , but the ques tion was allowed to go unanswered. The house declared itself solidly in favor of the abrogation of the contract , with the exception of the Lancaster contingent , some of the members of which protested against any interference with the welfare of the ring. In the review of the work of the peniten tiary committee , as published in Tim Bun Sunday morning , the naino of Representa tive Van Houscn , a member of the commit tee , was unintentionally Omitted. Ho was a faithful attendant at all the meeting * of the committee mill it is but just to him to say that ho Insisted on a vigorous prosecution of the Investigation and gave it his personal attention. rliml Adjournment Not I'liod. Chairman Babcock of the senate commit tee on final adjournment , is aucious to secure the fixing of a day for ending of the session , but ho receives cold comfort from the house committee. When ho waited on Chairman Olson of the house committee and expressed the opinion that a day ought to bo set , Olson replied that there was too much work yet to bo done to render any agreement on ad journment advisable. Babcock replied that It might take till fall , to which Olson re sponded that in that case the legislature would stay until fail , or as long as might bo necessary. To Van Houscn Babcock urged that the day bo set , and when the former demurred the senator argued that if the day was sot the work could bo hurried accordingly. Van Ilouson Insisted thai It could bo hurried just ns well without setting the day , and that the day could bo agreed upon after the rush was out of the way. Kcckloy took the same position , nnd It Is not now apparent just how the senate is go ing to force adjournment until the house is ready for it. The sentiment of the house is reflected by the committee , and is against adjournment until several important matters are out of the way. The corporations are crowding for a finish , and the state otllcials nnd the boodle crowd are working to the Bamo end , as It promises more relief for them than any thing else In sight. Supported nt Homo. Many of the members are expressing satisfaction over the receipt of letters and telegrams from their constituents endorsing their work and Insisting on its further prosecution. Saul ono member this afternoon : "If our constituents fail to thus express themselves many of the members are liable to bo misled as to what Is the actual sentiment of the people of the state , as there Is an unhealthy atmosphere hero in Lincoln , and the mem bers are exposed solely to the Influence of the boodle ganc. Everything is now ripe fern n full expose of i\ll the rottenness. The gang docs not want the exposure to go any further , and the thing for the people to do Is to declare themselves regarding it. " Ex-Senator Collins of Beatrice , who was a member of the upper house two years ago , is rnObing up against the lawmakers. Consldcr.ible inquiry tins been heard as to what provisions were made by the substitute rate bills offered In thp senate yesterday. It is stated that the Clark substitute pro vided for rates that would average about 80 per cent of the present rates , whereas house roll ! KJ provides for about "ft percent of exist ing rates. The Pope substitute made no change in through rates or between terminal points , but cut local distance rates from 4 to 12 per cent. I.AHOlt AltOUSUD.

LINCOLN , Nob. , March 23. [ Special Tele , gram to TUB Hen. ] Thirty-three senators answered to roll call this morning and the sixty-second day of the session commenced as briskly as if the members were drawing their $5 per day , instead of serving the state gratuitously. The regular order was at tacked with vigor. Senator North , from the judiciary commit tee , reported senate Hies Nos. ! MS and 'J47 with the recommendation that they bo passed and advanced to third reading. Senator McDonald , from the committee on county boundaries , reported senate lilo No yj , to provide for clerks and assistants for county clerks , with the recommendation that It bo placed on third reading , and the report was adopted. The senate then advanced a number of bills to third reading. The following meas ures were ordered engrossed for third reading - ing : Senate illo Nos. IW ! , 1155 , SS3 , 80 , 'J'Ji ; , HOT , 21'J , 70 , 107 , KOnmU'JO. After this business bad been satisfactorily disposed of the senate went into executive session and continued the nomination of Prof. Ebrlght to bo superintendent of the State Institute for the Blind at Nebraska City , after which a recess was taken until UiO : ; o'clock. Will ( ilvn thn Kile n Chanci' . When the senate reconvened after recess Campbell offered a motion tending to shut olT the advancement of so many bill to third reading. Ho moved that It bo the sense of the senate that no more bills bo advanced until all bills now on third reading are dis posed of. The president stated that ho would entertain the motion , but that it could have no binding force , as no senator can bo prevented from offering a motion if ho wanted to do so. With this understanding the senate agreed to the motion. As soon as this motion had been disposed f Senator Moore called attention to tlio fact hat the secretary already had In his posses- ion a number of motions to advance bills to lilnl reading. The president held that Campbell's motion could not olTect tlicso nui- lot s and they were therefore taken up and onsuiered on their merits. Hie following bills were , under this ruling , dvaneed to third reading : Senate tile No. i0'J ! , by Correll , to secure ho free passage of fish In Nebraska streams. House roll No. f > 5 , reimburse Hlaino ounty for expenses Incurred in trying a Hirdcrcr. Senate lilo No. 1-13 , by I.owlcy , to amend tlio code of civil procedure.

Senator Graham at this point offered a csolution providing that at the close of the esslon the Hag now floating over the senate hamber bo donated to Hawlins post , Grand \rm > of the Republic , at Beatrice. Senator Harris ottered an amendment sub- tituting Farragut post of Lincoln as the lencticiary of the senate's bounty , while Senator Stewart came to the front with a ubstituto for both motions providing that it the eloso of the session the secretary of state take possession of the flags and other iroporty ef the senate and store it until the icxt session of the legislature. The prcsi- lent ruled Stewart's substitute out of order 'or the reason that the law already provides 'or such a disposal of the senate property , larrls' motion was voted down and Gra- lam's was agreed to. < Work of the Slltliif ; Committee. Senator McCarty then precipitated a lively liseusslon by introducing a resolution dircct- ng the sifting committee to immediately report to the senate such of the bills on the rcneral file as in its judgment ought to ho Kissed and providing further that no bills should bo passed except those so reported. Some senator offered an amendment to the effect that the sitting committee be cm- lowered to excrciso the same discretion on , ho bills already on third reading , but for some reason the secretary failed to notice it nut the president of the senate overlooked t. No record was made of it , and although i was discussed by several of the senators the lieutenant governor Ignored It In putting the questions to thosenato. The amendment might have been fatal to house roll No. ! fi , as , t could have been Ignored by the sif tine committee If that body happened to make up a majority of the opponents of the bill. Senator Dale opposed the resolution offered L > y McCarty. Ho claimed that It conferred ,111 , arbitrary power upon the nine members of the sifting committee and that it would also require a two-thirds majority to adopt it. Senator Tcfft asserted that the action of a majority was the action of the senate and that the resolution was perfectproper. ! . Senator Dysart opposed It vigorously and . .avo his reasons at length. His remarks i-allcd from Senator Pope the statement that ho was assuming something that ho didn't know anything about. Dysart retorted that he did know what ho was talking about , lie said ho was a member of the senate two years ago. when the same matter came up for discussion. Ho know what the rulings of the chair were then and ho know what they would bo now. Ho denounced a sifting committee as the curse of legislative bodies. The ayes and nays were called and the resolution was defeated. Senators Clarke , Kverott , Thomson and Halo voting with the Independents against its adoption. Corrvctly ICllKrossrd , The committee on engrossed and enrolled bills reported that house roll No. ! KI had been correctly engrossed and was ready for tlio third reading. Pope made an effort to have the rules sus pended and thi ) World's fair appropriation bill placed on its passage , but the motion failed to receive the requisite two-thirds majority. Senators Tefft and Mattes presented what may bo called the minority report on the cell house Investigation. The report com pletely exonerates ex-\S'arden Million and his assistant : from any censure for the death of Convict Powell and asserts that that individual came to his death by suleldo. Senator Correll states that the report was presented to him self and other members of the investigating committees and that they re fused to sign It. It is as follows : Kxonerutr * Million.
