SENATE FAVORS SETTLEMENT
fi I
UvcoiiiiiicihIn n lllll ProvlUlnir for I
Co'niiroiiilni of Mulls Aunliixt
HiiiiiIniiivii unit OthcrM.
LINCOLN, March 21. (Special.) Senator
McCargnr's bill authorizing" the settlement,
compromlso or dismissal of suits now pend
ing for moneys duo tho state upon official
bonds nnd from depository banks nnd their
bondsmen, which is admitted to be for th'j
purposo of compromising with tho Hartley
bondsmen and the Omaha National bank,
was the bone of contention In tho senato
this afternoon, some passionate speeches
being mndo on both sides of the moasure.
Tho bill vcstH tho power of settling with
these bondsmen In tho attornoy: general,
stato treasurer and auditor of public ac
counts, giving them power to use their
own discretion, the only proviso embodied
In tho bill being that tho defendants pay
the cobIS' which have accrued.
Senator O'Neill was- In favor of tho bill.
It would not only result In good In this
ense, hut It would ho a good permanent
law. "It has been found that tho law is
a good ono for counties'," snld tho Lan
caster senator, "nnd I bcllcvo It would ba
a good, law for the state. .Tho stato of
ficers In whom tho power of settlement
Is vested havo the Interests of the stato
at heart, and would ccrtninly settlo to thu
vory best advantago possible. Thoso cases
may continue pending for yenrs, with in
creased expenso each year, with no sure
thing of ever getting anything back. The
bondsmen aro dying oft and' as tho years
go by are becoming. Insolvent, lessening
tho state's chances of recovering day by
day. It costs thousands of dollars to keep
these cases In tho supremo court, a con
dition which could bo met by tho passage
of this bill. The stato should havo the
samo opportunity to compromise or settle
Its accounts that n prlvato individual has.
It is simply good business, and I firmly
bcllcvo would bo tho means of settling up
these cases which will never bo sottled
otherwise I think the bill Is a good one
and I shall vote for Its passage."
Yniinw Opiloftcn the lllll.
Senator Young' made a. speech in favor
of the postpouentent'ot the bill. "This Is
Wclous legislation," said Senator Young,
"and I shall oppose- It It I havo to do so
alone, for I bcllcvo It Is wrong In principle
and I am' not afraid to stand by my con
victions. This bill gives throo men tho
power to strlkb out an Indebtedness of over
600,000 by a' elnglo stroke of the pen.
Primarily thoVtjlll Is for the rollof of the
Hartley bondsmen and tho Omaha National
bank, and disguise .It as you may, you can
not claim it lfor any other purpose. Does
the demand for this bill como from the
people of Nebraska, or does It come from
tho Hartley bondsman. nd tho Omaha Na
tional bankj Why, fho passage of this bill
would bo tho political graveyard of tho
men In wnorif the power of settlement Is
vwted, I,ha;o all .'the confidence In these
otllcluls, but these, casei; may not be set
tled for two or ifoui years and we have
uo assurance: who' the men will bo who
might settle these, accounts. It leaves to
Jheni tho setuarnOntj of a vast amount of
money,, and uo juwtttjr how well they may
settle, they, will bo subjected to criticism
nnd charges, lia nmtlur how unjust these
charges might, ho. I want to predict here'
now that .If this bill. pa3aes, the state of
Nebrnokn will never get a cent out of these
bondsmen," r
UiiKKoin Uc(eiiilr th lllll.
Senator Itansom spoke In favor of he bill,
nlthough he took occasion to deny that tho
.Omaha National bank bondBnion, for whom
( tho Douglas senator la aflornoy, had any
iiHi-ii-m iu 1110 jiimBUKe ot ino Din, "The
defendants in these cnes are dying off and
the chances -of settling through the courts
are growing less every year," said the
speaker. "Something should bo doue before
It Is too late. Wo. havo spent years and
thousands of dollars In trying to collect
these amounts and nil without avail. The
gentleman from Stanton says these claims
are good nnd that we should reduce them
to Judgments, hut haven't we tried hnrd fcr
several years to collect them and our failure
to do so ought to bo hn Indication that
these claims arc doubtful. It Is simply
throwing good money nwny for bad. Thla
Is no political measure, but It Is a good
ono nnd I think it should pass."
Senator Crounse was also in favor of the
low. It would put money In the coffers of
our treasury. "We should look nt it from
a business standpoint," snld Senator
Crounse. "Kvery effort has been mndo to
collect these moneys in tho courts, but they
aro delayed year after year, and In the
meantime tho statute of limitation Is nn
Inspiration for them to hang on as long as
possible. Hut wo hnvo no right to bring
tho Hartley bondsmen In this discussion,
for It Is a good general law, nnd I want it
understood that I am in favor of it."
Senators Hnrlan and Lyman wore for the
bill, whlto Senators Oleson nnd Owens made
speeches against it.
Tho voto upon Senator Young's motion to
postpone was lost by a vote of 1C to 10,
whereupon Senator O'Neill moved that the
committee recommend the bill for passage
und it was carried.
.t Itciltly lo Ailjiitirn.
Tho report of tho commttteo on adjourn
ment, which rtcommended Thursday, March
28, was submitted this morning, but n
motion to ndopt was lost, Senator Martin
Insisting thnt It take the regular courso and
bo laid over until tomorrow. The gentle
man from lllchardann thought It too Impor
tant a matter to bo rushed through.
The senato then resolved Itself Into n
commttteo ot the whole for tho considera
tion ot bills on tho sifting committee's
file, some of which brought out lively dis
cussions, while others were recommended
to pass without any discussion whatever.
Tho following were disposed of by tho com

Lnno's bill to appropriate $35,000
for permanent state fair grounds nnd Sena
tor Trompcn's osteopathy bill brought out
a display of fireworks nt the morning and
afternoon sesMon of the house today. Tho
former was reconsidered for passage by tho
committee of the whole and tho latter was
put on tho general file, where it comes
next under the Jurisdiction of tho sifting
committee.
Tho appropriation provided by the state
fair bill Is for grounds and buildings, but
there Is no provision In It which prevents
nil or prnctlcully all of tho money being
spent for tho grounds. In tho discussion
It was atscrtcd that tho present fair site
with the buildings thereon could be pur
chased for $22,000. As amended tho bill
authorizes tho Hoard of Public Lands and
Dulldlngs to select tho site.
Tun IIIIIh PiisnciI.
Two bills wero passed during the morn
ing session, ono being Scuntor Currle'o
measure relating to reform schools, and
tho other by Sears, to authorlzo Stnto Hoard
of Purchase and Supplies to purchase sup
plies for state Institutions In yenrly lots.
After an extended discussion tho house
on motion of Tanner took Senntor Trom
pen's osteopathy bill out of tho hands of
the Judiciary committee und placed it on
tho general file. Codeo nnd Fowler fav
ored tho motion nnd were opposed by Hath
orn. This nctlon, places the bill where it
can be advanced by tho sifting committee.
Tho report of tho Joint committee on nd
Journmcnt was read nnd adopted.
In committee of tho wholo the house rec
ommended Senator McCargar's binder twine
bill for pnssago, with amendments. The
measure, requires u stamp on nil packages
of hinder twine.
Tin-U Irs Cut I If llrnuil lllll.
When the hotiso reconvened this nftcr
noon it resolved Into committee of tho
whole to consider sifted hills, tho first ono
taken up being Senator Vin Ilosklrk's cnt
tlo brand registration bill. Hnrton of
Keya Paha moved to recommend tho meas
ure for passage and, ns a substitute, Brown
of Kurnas moved lo strlku out tho llrst
twelvo sections, leaving only tho provision
for the repeal of tho existing cattle brand
commission law. Van Ilosklrk's measure,
as amended In the senate, would do awny
with tho present brand commission and
place tho registration of brands nnd mnrks
under tho direction of tho secretary of
state. The substitute motion introduced by
Urown wns for jho doublo purposo of re
pealing tho brand commission law and de
feating Vnn Ilosklrk's bill, but It was with
drawn before n vote was taken. After tho
adoption of an amendment to require the
secretary of stnto to pay all fees received
for tho registration of brands Into the stato
treasury, tho bill was recommended for
passage.
l-atlln's bill, relating to fees for county
treasurers, was recommended for passage
after a brief debate. The measure provides
that county treasurers shall he 'entitled to
fees for services on tho followlug basis:
On nil moneys collected for each fiscal year
under $6,000, 10 per cent; for all sums over
$0,000 and under $10,000, 4 per cent, and on
nil over $10,000, 2 per cent.
Stnl - I nlr lllll.
Tho bill by Lane to appropriate money
for permanent stnto fair grounds In Lin
coln nnd for repairs und construction of
buildings thereon, brought out a discussion
that continued Almost to the' time of -adjournment,
Iir Its' original form it called for
an appropriation of $50,000. Tho committee
on public lands nnd buildings cut the amount
down to $35,000 and recommended tho bill
for the gcncrnl flic for consideration In com
mitteo of tho whole.
After tho bill was rend in tho committee
of the wholo this afternoon McCarthy moved
to nmond by striking out tho. figures $35,000
nnd inserting therein tho tlguro $1. He
spoke as follows in support of his motion:
"I want to be consistent In tho considera
tion and discussion of this bill. Two yenrs
ago wo passe a law permanently locating
tho stnto fair at tho capital city. It .was
passed with tho distinct understanding that
the city of Lincoln would furnish fair
grounds free of cost to the state and to this
end a promlso was inserted In tho bill
which said that a sum of not to exceed $1
should bo pnld by the slnto for tho ground..
This appears In tho session laws of 1809
nnd In exact language is: 'Tho state fair
shall bo held annually nt or near the city
of Lincoln, In Lancaster county, under tho
direction and suporvlslon of tho Stato Hoard
of Agriculture, and tho Stnto Hoard of Pub
lic Lands nnd Dulldlngs Is hereby authorized
nnd directed to select a alto for the same
within n radius of threo miles of the present
stato cnpttol building, and to purchase, a
suitable tract of land for such a site, pro
vided, however, thnt said Hoard of Public
Lands nnd Buildings, after selecting thi
site, shall pay not to exceed tho sum of $1
for a clear and sufTlclent title therefor.'
This bill now tinder consideration Is for tho
purposo of enrrying out more definitely tho
provisions ot tho law which I hnvo Just
quoted, In support of my contention that
the people ot Lincoln nssured that legisla
ture of 1899 that they would furnish tho
grounds for tho fair, I will read a letter
from Mr. W. A. Prlnco of Orand Island, wha
was a member of the Icglslaturo that year."
After reading the letter, which wns us
Indicated by tho speaker, McCarthy con
tinued: "Now wo can carry out tho pro
visions of that net by appropriating $1 nnd
I hopo for this reason that my amendment
will carry."
I.iiiii'iinIit ('iiiint)'M .Htnml,
Representative Lano of Lancaster replied
to tho remarks of tho representative from
Dixon county. Ho said that as a member
of the last Icglslaturo from this county
two years ago ho understood protty clearly
what nctlon tho Lancaster county delega
tion took in tho consideration of tho bill.
Ho denied that ho had over proposed or
heard proposed any offor on tho part of
tho Lincoln delegation to purchnso the
ground for the state. Ho said ho had not
taken the time to wrlto or communicate,
with members of the Inst legislature, but
ho did have one letter from ono ex-mom-ber,
which he read. Tho letter was signed
by Ensterllng of Kearney and In brief as
serted that tho writer had not heard any
proposition by tho people of Lincoln to
buy tho grounds. Arguing In favor of his
bill Mr. Lano pointed out tho advantages
of Lincoln for a stnto fair sito and as
serted that tho folr could be made a suc
cess only In or near this city.
Crockett of Knox fnvored tho bill bo
causo it provided means for making the
stnto fair a success, Hlbbert took a slmllap
position,
Whltmore spokn at some length on the
measure. He said that if thn peoplo ot
Lincoln had made n pledge to buy tho
grounds they should be held by it, but ho
Insisted that no proof had been submitted
which showed conclusively that such a
pledge had been made. He challenged any
body to prove the asseitlon In this regard.
In conclusion ho said that to permit tho
fair to bo hold tho appropriation would
be lfoccssary.
Andrews favored tho bill and In tho courso
ot a brief speech said that tho appropria
tion asked for was less than the valuo.ot
tho property, but ho said tho amount would
bo sufllclcbt, because many of the part
owners ot the land which the b)ll related to
would donate their Interest to the state.
Messrs. Mendenhall, Morton. Mockett and
Hall also favored the bill, but opposed the
amendment offered by McCarthy
After two hours' debate a rising vote was
taken on the McCnrlhy amendment, result
ing In lis defeat by 37 to 17.
.Taylor of .Custer then moved to amend
the bill to nuthorlze the Hoard ot Public
Lands nnd Iltllldlngs to determine on a lo
cation within a radius of threo miles ot
Lincoln, not to exceed lCrt acres, or $76 per
aero In purchase price, ' This .imcndmeut
carried.
The committee nroso at 5:30 and reported
in favor ot the passage of tho stato fair
bill.
On motion of Loomis tho houso reconsid
