criminal code. Compiled Statutes of Ne

CHANGES THE PENALTY.
The sections of the criminal code which
this bill Keeks to repeal arc the sections
which make gambling and the keeping ot
gambling resorts felonies and punishable
with Imprisonment in the penitentiary. AH
the law now stands , conviction for the first
time for gambling subjects the offcnfler to a
flne ot from $100 to $300 , or Imprisonment
In the penitentiary for one year , and con
viction for the mcoml offense with n flno of
from $300 to $500 or Imprisonment for two
years In the penitentiary.
The bill Just passed by the senate makes
gambling a misdemeanor punishable by a
fine not exceeding $100 or Imprisonment in
the county Jail not exceeding thirty days , or
both. The law as It now stands makes the
keeping of a gambling resort a felony pun
ishable by a line of from $300 to 500 , or
imprisonment In the penitentiary for two
Team. The bill that has Just passed the senate
reduces thla to a misdemeanor , pnnUhablc
by a flno not to exceed $100 or Imprisonment
In the county Jail not to exceed thirty days ,
or both , with , a doubling of the penalty for
the ( second offense. _ lt also removes all In
centive for victims to sue for lost money ,
l > y providing that the money when recovered
bo turned jiitq.tliB , OlJ .rpl fund.
It Is common talk here that the Miller
1)111 was prepared by lawyers acting for
tho. Omaha and South Omaha gamblers and
that n purse of $3,000 has been put up by
these gamblers to see the bill through. While
some members of the senate wcro perhaps
altogether Ignorant of the nature of the bill
when they voted for It , thcro Is no question
but that there was a goodly numbir who
wore on the Inside , and that the way had
been thoroughly groined for Its passage. The
gamblers' representatives hero even now In
sist that there Is enough booillo up to get
the bill through the house In spite of the
exposure , and they have not given up hopes
of seeing Its enactment Into law.
ANOTHER TO TUB SAME END.
This Is not the only gambling bill before
the senate. There Is another In senate fllo
No. 30C , Introduced by Senator Lee of Holt
end which Is Intended to effect the same
purpose. The title to Senator Leo's hill la :
"For an act to prohibit all gnmn of chance ,
gambling devices , chairs , benches , billiard
tables , or any other kinds of tables to be
used for cards or gamw , either for drinks or
money forfeits , dice , and each and any kind
of contrivance or catch-ponny scheme In any
ealoon licensed under the laws of the state
of Nebraska , ami to prohibit and suppress
secret club rooms or private resorts estab
lished for the purpose and conducted to sup
ply Intoxicating liquors to the members ot
eald clubs under whatsoever name or style
of designation , to fix penalties for the viola
tion of this act , and to make all fines , pen
alties and costs Impose ! hcrcunder a leln
upon the premises In which or on which the
business la conducted or the prohibited prac
tice carried on , affecting owners , agents and
others with notice , and to repeal all acts
und parts of acts In conflict herc-wlth.
The Lee bill Is even easier on fie gamblers
than the bill which bus Just paasud tliu sen
ate. The only penally tlmt It provided In
that "any person , individual , firm or corpora
tion found guilty of'violating ' any of the pro
visions of this act shall be deemed guilty of
having committed a misdemeanor , and shall
bo liable to a penalty for each and every
offenno of a line not lesn than $25 nor mora
than $100 , together with all costs ot prosecu
tion , and shall stand committed until suci
line and cos to are fully paid. "
It ( a quite evident that the Leo bill cm-
InateH from the same quartern as tli = other
gambling bills , and tn.it It Li Intended as n

their first effort falls. Now that the boodle
scheme has been thoroughly dragged Into
the light of day. It la doubtful whether they
will continue their elforta , which , even If
successful In both eenato and hoimc , are
euro to run up against a veto from Governor

EXPOSURE TEN YEARS AGO.
It Is a remarkable coincidence that tlila
gambling bill ncandal comes up Just ten years
after the scandal which attended the original
passage of the present low , which makes
gambling a felony. The bill introduced Into
the legislature of 1887 was Introduced for
ths purpose of extorting blood money , as the
price of killing It. It was a holdup pure and
simple , while the boodle back of the present
bill was hung up In order to secure Its paa-
sage. In 1SS7 , aa now , The Hee Informed It
self early of the cgrrupt Hcheme and watchful
of the public Interests , kept.advised of Its
progress until the time presented for nip
ping It In the bud by exposure.
The Ilee'a exposure of tha booillere In 1SS7
forced them to support the measure and It
Is Diving to The nee that the present law
making gambling a felony la now on the
statute books. It was on March 14 , 1887 , that
the editor of Tlie Bee addressed the follow
ing communication to the speaker of the
house of representatives , which that gentle
man had read before the house and which Is
found In the IIOUPO journal :
LINCOI-X , March 14 , 15S7. Hon. N. V.
Harlan , Speaker of House Representatives :
I desire through you to make known to
the honorable bouso of representatives
that I am In possession of Information
which warrants mo in making the charge
that members ot the house committee on
Judiciary , whoso names1 I deem It Improper
to divulge at this time , have become par-
tics to a criminal conspiracy to defeat the
bill now In possession of said Judiciary
committee , senate Illo No. US , "An act to
amend sections 214 and 213 of the Criminal
Code. "
I have positive knowledge of the attempt
of one member of the Judiciary committee ,
who claimed to represent others , to extort
a lartfcj sum , reported to me as M.COO from
certain keepers of gambling houses nt
Omaha , for which sum the . nld mnmber
offered to procure an adverse report by the
committed on tlm nntt-gtimblliiRr bill , and
cause Its llnal defeat.
A larno Hum , amounting to several thou
sand dollars , was thereupon contributed by
the parties Interested and placed at the
disposal of members of the legislature who
am In collusion to carry out this cprnmt
bargain. I am also reliably Informed that
a corruption fund was raised and distrib
uted by certain contractors for public
worlcs and parties connected with corporate
Interests to bring- about the defeat of. or
radical changes In , senate Illo No , 81
known an the Omnhi. charter bill.
I hold myself ready to substantiate these
clnmrea and mnho known to any Invrsti-
frntliitf committee appointed by tlie house
all the fnctH known to me concerning cor
rupt Interference with the legislature
Very respectfully. K. noSEWATEH.
The chairman of the house committee on
Judiciary In ISS7 was Henry C. Hussell of
Colfax county. TliQ investigation which fol
lowed proved abortive , owing to the manipu
lations of the men who were besmirched In
the scandal , but the result was that the
anti-gambling bill , which was Introduced and
designed OH a hold-up nnd never Intended
to bo passed , became a law and one of the
foulest boodle combines ever organized was
effectually broken up. Men who profess to
bo In a position to know say , If the present
legislature hould undertake to Investigate
the Influences and methods by which the
Miller bill has Just been railroaded through
trw senate , and that Investigation w > ro con
ducted honestly and conscientiously , Cioro Is
no question hut that some startling revela
tions would follow.

WAXTS XO MOUI3 XOIlMAIj SCHOOLS.
Senate IlcriileH tlie Slnle HUM HiinuKli
of Them ftir < lie 1'renent.
LINCOLN , .March 24. ( Special Telegram. )
The senate i devoted today's session almost
entirely to the several normal school proposi
tions. It transpired very early In the day
that a combination had been effected for the
purpose of establishing not one , but two ,
now normal schools , ono at Scotia and one at
York. Long before the day closed , however ,
the combination went to pieces and .all
normal schooj bills were killed for the ses
sion , , . ,
The senate wont Into committee of the
whole and took , up , the several propositions
at once , with Mr. Johnsan of Clay In the
chair.
Mr. McGann said that the necessity for a
normal school was apparent to everybody.
Scctla wns but forty miles from the geographical
graphical center of the state. It was access-
able to the people ot twunty counties. The
buildings were sufficient for all the needs of
a normal school for the coming ten years.
Ho contended that such a school at York
would bo superfluous as that c-lty was within
nn hour's ride of the University of Nebraska ,
which furnished ample facilities for the
training of teachers In the south central part
of the state. The people of the northern and
northwestern parts of Nebraska were de
manding better facilities for education and
wore unanimous In favor ot the Scotia school.
Mr. Holier offered a motion that whan the
committee rise It recommend that all bills
for the establishment of normal schools be
Indefinitely postponed.
Messrs. Grothan and Conaway protested
wwnestly against the attempt to shut off de-
bato.
bato.Mr. . Haller said that the tlmo had come
when a stop should bo put to the practice of
saddling bankrupt real estate speculations
ipon the taxpayers of the stato. The Scotia
ichool was a broken down Institution , aind the
i'ork college was a failure. Yet these towns
wished to unload their failures upon the
state treasury. Ho sa'd ' with the present
jondlt'Ion of Uio state's finances It. would bo
ilmost criminal to establish a new state
Institution.
Mr. Talbot offered an amendment for all
motions before the committee , by moving
that the whole matter of .normal . schools be
referred to a special committee , with Instruc
tions to report a now bill providing for the
establishment of normal schools at both
Scotia and York , with the acceptance ot both
impositions. Ho spoke at length In favor of
ils motion , quoting elaborate statistics to
show that Nebraska was far behind other
states In the matter of furnishing facilities
'or the training ot teachers.
USELESSNESS OF NOHMAL SCHOOLS.
Mr. Gondrlng replied to the senator from
Lancaster. He denied the supreme Import-
inco ot normal schools to the educational
lystcin of the state. The real basis of the
iducatlonal system la the public school. He
ipoko In a highly sarcastic vein against the
lormal school at Peru , claiming that not ono
graduate of twenty over engaged In school
teaching ; that It cost the state an Immense
mm of money and that Its usefulness was
ionllned to the work of logroIMug appro
priations through the legislature every two
fears. Ho favored the Idea of having ono
normal school In the state and that a good
inc. If necessary , ho thought the Peru
johool should bo 'abandoned and ono estab
lished nearer the cfnter of the stato.
Mr. Fnrrell said' he would favor the Scotia
proposition , but would oppose all the others.
Mr. Leo favored' ' the Scotia proposition ,
llo said the people of northern Nebraska de
manded a nornjal gchool.
After recess , Mr. Grothan spoke In favor of
the Scotia proposition.
Mr. Caldwcll said that If the state was
.o establlth n normal school at all ho would
'avor ' the YorwSBrJposltlon. At Scotia there
ivaa nothing. At York there were all the
'acllltlea necesa ry for educational work.
Mr. Grahamjtviin&d the now school , If any
was to be eJtslUllshcd at all , located at
I'ork. > f
Mr. Feltz thopiHt Scotia should bo favored. "
Mr. Dundas jyiw opposed to any new school
it all at the grtfaenl tlmo.
Mr. CoTiawaK spoke at length In favor of
ho proposltlonmibuJltted by the city of York ,
Mr. Murphyiwqltjted against the proposal
to establish si59oxnnal ) school at all at
this time ; but If the state was to have a now
nstltutlon. It shbuld bo located at some
joint accessible to the people. He said
Scotia had barely nu existence on the map ,
ind wad no place for a state educational in-
ititution.
Mr. McGann clcsed the debate with a pica
'or the Scotia proposition. At 4:20 : o'clock a

GAMHLINQ HllJU COME3 UP.
Mr. Osborn of Pawnee created something
jf a stir by moving that the vote by which
senate fllo No. 331 was pawed lost Monda ;
bo reconsidered. This motion was dcclarei
to bo out of order until the bill was In th
possession of the senate.
Mr. Caldwell moved'that the house bo re
quested to return the bill to the senate. H
said that there wore good reasons for tin
belief tlmt the bill , which proposed to re
strain the crime of gambling. Imd ben p.is e <
In Ignorance of Its true purport.
Mr. Howell said that whllo he had no ob
Jcctlon to the return of the bill , he wlshoi
to say that the bill WBH a good bill. H pro
posed to amend the law so that It would bi
possible to convict men accused of Rambling
The present law , he said , was n dead letter
Mr. Gondrlng said there was ono bad fen
lure of the bill. He referred to the s ctloi
providing that If any money Is recoverei
from a gambler on a suit at law It nlmll g <
to the man losing the money. The new lav
provides that the money recovered shall g <
to the school fund. He thought the oi.l . lav
should bo restored.
Mr. Howell nsked If the senntor would bi
willing to have the bill recalled for the pur
pose ot amending it with reference to thl :
particular section. This the senator fron
Platte would not consent to.
Mr. Caldwell said the bill should be re
called and killed.
Mr. Howell spoke earnestly In favor of tin
bill. Ho offered no opposition to having th <
bill recalled , but thought the nettnto wouli :
make n mistake If the bill was killed , lit
said the old law was extremely favorable tt
the gambler ? , ns they never could bo con >
vlctod under It. He said the penalty was sc
sevens that even Judge Scott refused to en <
force It. There was no open gambling Ir
Omaha now , ho said , but thcro was more
gambling behind locked doors than over , Thi
now law would enable the city authorities
to convict and punish the gamblers who now
defy the law.
The motion to recall the bill was ngrcei !
to. When the bill was returned the vote bj
which It was passed was reconsidered nnd the
bill sent back to the commltteo of the whole
A commltteo consisting of Talbot. Gondrlnp
and Howell was appointed to confer with a

has been quite a boom In state warrants
within the past two days. On Monday gen
eral fund warrants were selling at n discount
of 3 per cent. Yesterday afternoon the em
ployes of the legislature received written

uro to ! )8. ) At noon today the figures had
risen to OS'cents. . State Treasurer
Mcservo said today that if the State Hoard
of Educational Lands and Funds had $100 -
000 of permanent school money to Invest In

remain at par from this tlmo forward.

at the limit of Its resources. It has In
vested JSO.OOO of the permanent school fund
In general fund warrants and $10,000 belong
ing to the permanent university fund , the
latter Investment being made yesterday.
There Is not likely to bo another call for
general fund warrants for two or throe
weeks , as on April 1 the state trcanurer
has $123,000 to pay out on the bonded In
debtedness of the state falling due on that
date. In addition to this amount Sic will
have $100,000 to pay out on the last call for
warrants.
The state treasurer's office force has been
liard worked since the first week In Janu
ary. In addition to the immense amount of
work Incident to the numerous warrant
inlls , an entirely new system of bookkeeping
las been adopted and all accounts trans-
'erred from the old boolcs to the new. This
latter task has been hurried ns rapidly as
losslblp in order that the coming investiga
tion oiMhe treasury by the legislative com
mittee can be taken up without Interfering
with the regular olllce work. " The Investl-
; atlng commltteo will now have free access
: o the books of the treasury from the first

sary.

It was discovered yesterday that two ro-
cently-mado graves In the Columbus ceme
tery had been desecrated. As was the case
last spring , the graves opened were thote
containing the remains of women recently
Interred. Mrs. Fugard , wife of Frank 13. Fu-
gard , died In this city about two weeks , and
the remains were placed In a casket secured
by locks Instead of screws , and burled in the
Columbus cemetery. Yesterday 'it was dis
covered that the grave had been opened and
the body takdn by breaking the glass , as the
locks could not be forced. The body was left
lying on top of the coffin nnd was discovered
In that condition. As In the case of Mrs
Connclley last spring , there was no nttomp
to take the remains away , and what tl > 3 mo
tlvo could bo Is a matter of much conjecture
The grnvo ot Mw. James Frazlcr , who dice
about a month ago , alfio bore evidence o
having been tampered with and an cxamlm
tlon will ba made. In view of the fact that
In each uf these cases there has been no
attenyt : to carry the bodies away , It Is gen
erally believed that there Is some one In
the community who has a mania for dese
crating the dead. Tlvu officers have a slight
clew and will prosecute It vigorously.
