Traction Case.
(From a Staff Correpondnt.)
t-JNCOLN, Aug. 9. (Special.) The cus
todians of the cspltol building (re at
lews to know bow to provide office room
for ell of the committer and officers of
the Brit leglslsture. The building vu
never to crowded as it bat been for the
last year,' owing to the creation of several
feew offices and department , and It U
thought now that tha only way out of the
; difficulty e to rent temporary quarters
during the Beit legtslslive session In some
downtown building. Ordinarily the assem
bly, with Its committees, has all of the
aec on d and third floors of the building,
with the exception of the room and balls
occupied by the aupreme court, library and
attorney general. Since the adjournment
of the lat session rconia on either of the
two floors have been glren to the statt
game warden, the Traveling Library com
mission, the Btafe Board of Charities and
Corrections, the Pure Food department, the
state veterinarian and the Supreme Court
commission. All of these rooms were
need during the session for legislative work
and even then some of the committees had
to encroach upon the departments down
stairs for meeting places.
The Supreme Court commission occupies
three rooms, for It is divided Into that
' many sections, and each section must have
a .-room by itself. ' One section has the
lieutenant governor's room, another baa the
: house cloakroom and the third Is in the
house biilroom. The game warden haa his
office in what Is known as the lieutenant
governor's private room. The veterinarian
Is In the speaker's room .and the other r.w
' officers are eccupylsg committee rooms. It
la difficult to see how there can be much
more economy In the apportionment of the
rooms.
A consolidated atatement of the building
and loan associations of Nebraska will soon
be Issued by the secretary of the State
. Banking board. It will ahow the assocla
tlons generally to be In a flourishing con
dition, though the number of shares In
force,, especially in the smaller towns, will
not be so Urge ss heretofore. In the prin
cipal cities, however, the business will
probably show an Increase.
The falling oft In the number of shares
Is said to be due to the-fact that mem
bers are paying eft their Indebtedness much
more rapidly than new shares are being
issued. In some communities the bsnks
have entered Into strong competition with
the essoclatlone, offering to loan money
at almost as low a rate of Interest, with
the understanding that fully as long time
will be given for the payments.
Two new associations have been organlxed
this year, which Is a good indication when
considered In connection with the tact that
mm year there were no new ones. .

DIETRICH AND CUBAN BILL
Senator Givns Anrwer to Direct Qneitioni
Concerning Hii Course.
NLW LIGHT CM SEVERAL QUESTIONS
Defends His Coorao Dnrtnsr Lnte
alasi of C'onacresa and Explains
Attlta4o of At ego" "In
aaraeats" ia Senate.
HASTINGS, Neb., Aug. t. (Special.) In
the Tribune this week Senator Dietrich
answers a Dumber of questions put to htm
by Its editor In a way that throws ew
light en several questions of current mo
ment. The first part of the interview Is
devoted to puncturing the fake about the
state committee repudiating the senstors,
quoting the Interview given out by Chair
man Lindsay and the editorial in The
Bee. Senator Dietrich continues:
"The Associated Press and some of the
leading newspapers have been so com
pletely sugar-coated and Thurberised by
the Sugar tru it . that It will take some
time before the American people will know
the facts.
"I wish to state further that all other
charges that we, the so-called 'Insurgents,'
were not willing to aid the president In
helping Cuba by passing a Cuban reciproc
ity bill by either giving Cuba a substan
tial rebate, as we are aow doing for the
Philippine Islands, or a reduction upon all
products from Cuba, are as false and un
founded as the charges which are so
strongly denied by Mr. Rose water. Mr.
Lindisy and myself.
"I wish It understood, however, thst the
so-called 'insurgents' were fully aware that
the depressed snd distressed conditions In
Cuba were grossly exaggerated and- that the
conditions there are fully as prosperous
for the masses of the people as they are
In the United States, and the only reason
that we were willing to aid Cuba at the
expense of the American producer wae
because of our loyalty to the president.
Work of Ik Soarar Trnst.
"Cuban reciprocity legislation was de
feated by the power and avarice of tb
Sugar trust, they fearing if bill ahould
be reported to the eeiate the differential
would be repealed. Other senators were
also opposed to hating a bill reported,
fearing that some other protected Indus
trie might be attacked andU general at
tack made upon the tariff schedule. It
waa to avoid such a fight that the commit
tee on relatione with Cuba decided not to
report a Cuban reciprocity bill."
"Was there opposition la the house of
republican leaders to Cuban reciprocity
and Irrigation bills?"
"Yes, sir. At ths beginning of the ses
sion nearly every republican leader. In
fact, 76 per cent of the republicans, were
opposed to both bills and it wss with the
greatest effort that the adminlstrstlon
succeeded In securing their support for
the Cuban bill, snd ths president utterly
failed to get the republican leaders Into
line for the Irrigation bill. Here Is a part
of a speech, taken from the Congressional
Record, which was delivered on' the floor
cf the house by General Groavennr of
Ohio, a member of the committee on rules,
against the Irrigation bill, showing how
antagonistic and selfish ths east is against
the development of the west.
.'i'I,J,lii"f'itovMr th,t thB Paesage of
this bill and the execution- of this law
will Increase those railroads lands four
times their present vslae. And for what:
snd why! Some gentlemen stand on this
floor occasionally and talk about -an 'In
fant Industry' of beet sugar. If thla scheme
can be carried into practical operation I
would not give t cents on the dollar ten
l'w.ttr,..hnco for " bt sugar stock
this side of the Missouri river. What la the
evidence thst has been taken this year
before the committee on ways and meansT
Why. sir, the evidence Is that the beet
sugar men of Utah and California and
Colorado can manufactai-e beet sugar today
almost a cent a pound cheaper than can
be done without the application of , irri
gation. . . . '
"Mr. Tongue Will the gentleman yield
for a question T
"Mr. Qrosvenor Certainlv.
"Mr. Tongue We are, I believe, paying
about lOOA'O.OOO (are we not?) annually to
foreign nations for sugar. Now, do I
understand that the gentleman from Ohio
would regard It as a great calamity If we
should be able to produce that sugar In
what is now the arid region of the United
n lana that ' now worthless?
Mr Grosvenor I have no objection to It
I would uphold the Interests of surar. and
I would not vote to tajce the differential
duty oft refined sugar for the purpose of
destroying the beet industry of the United
Btstes. either, and I did not do it. I hope
the time will come when we can produce
Ilou.OOO.Ouo worth of augar and go Into the
export business. But I am not willlnr to
t the farmers of my district and my
etate to take these railroad iands and all
these lands and convert them Into sugar
producing lands. "
Unjnst to ' tbo West.
"How unjust .to ths west is the position
taken by those leaders in congress. The
bill provides that the moneys which are
to be expended for the reclamation of the
arid lands, which are now practically worth
less, must be derived from the sal of such
lands, and the settlers who receive the
benefits by securing water must return to
the government the full cost of such Irri
gation works. It Is not an appropriation
at funds, but only ths loaning of funds so
derived to the settlers. River and harbor
appropriations are moneys derived 'by di
rect taxation upon all ths people snd ex
pended upon rivers snd harbors where mil
lions upon millions are fraudulently ex
pended and the localities benefited sre not
required to reimburse the government as
are the settlers upon arid lands who will se
cure water from ths irrigation works built
by the government.
"Why did not the Sugar truat and their
allies, the eastern journals, denounce tbs
'insurgents' in the houee who made
speeches and voted against the president
on irrigation, one of tke wisest measures
which was passed by congress a , law
which will furnish homes and the com
forts of life for millions of American
citizens, instead of abusing and publish
ing falsehoods against the so-called beet
sugar 'Insurgents,' who were willing but
bal no opportunity to vote .. fcr Cubs
reciprocity. I suppose, also, It was only
an oversight on the part of some of the
disappointed office seekers and sgents of
the Sugar trust that the Nebraska re
publican state convention was not askel
to pass a resolution commending the re
publican leaders of the house for oppos
ing the president on Irrigation and cen
suring ths Nebraska senators for sup
porting It."
His Stand oa Reciprocity.
"It has been reported that you were
not willing to accept and vote for a caucus
snd conference bill?"
"That Is slso absolutely false, as the
statement which appeared la the Wash
ington papers will ahow:
" 'Senator Dietrirh onU that he Is In
nppokUion to the president's policy as to
reciprocity with Cuba. il says ths preai.
dent thoroughly understands his position
and he lenreia very much that the eipi
of KtbraKKa have been misinformed as to
the puJitluii he has taken. Yaeierday the
siilor senator from Nebraska matte a propo
sition to several seriaturs on both shins
of ths Cuban reciprocity question, wtiicn
there seems to be a dleims'.ilon to accept.
Ins sons if r In exiUiiiing the propor
tion said that it waa to art Into confer
ence next Tueaday afternoon and take a
vole by ballot as to whether or not Cuban
reciprocity bill shall be reported. If a
nuiji.ruy of ths senators are favorable
to reporting the bill on Cuban reciprocity
then all bl.ls nhlch have been Introduced
snail b submitted to ths conference and
wnlrhever bill becomes tbs chulcs of that
conference shall be the bill to be reported
to tb senate and that all republicans are
to siaud lvuni cot to Vuis fur auy ma
terial amendment. The senator aM that
he believed that this would solve the
qiiilon and at the earns time rut the
psrty In a position which would be nhw.
luieiv impregna Die. J
"Then, according to this statement, you
were trying to force artlon In favor of
Cuban reciprocity In place of trying to de
feat it?"
"Tea, sir. That Is an sbsoluts fact, and
If the committee on relations with Cuba
bad reported a bill to the senate or left
It to a majority of a republlrarl caucus
In place of hilling It In committee, which
waa done, a bill would have been passed
which would have been satisfactory to
the president.
"In conclusion I will again ask: If the
beet eugar industry Is so profitable that
It can stand a 60 per cent reduction with
out Irjury, as claimed by the Sugar trust
and other Cuban exporters, why do they
net Invent their meny millions in the beet
sugar Industry in the United States, where
they are certain of receiving large profits.
In place of Investing so maDy millions in
Cuba, where they claim the sugsr Indus
try Is so unprofitable, and so much pov
erty end distress prevails? if the Sugar
trust will only engage in the beet sugar
business extensively In the United States
they will then employ and It will be to
their interests to help protect American
labor In place of destroying it."

According to Miss Shumate's story the
two men were In Scott's private office for
over an hour, disputing over a claim of
$1,000. Suddenly the door was thrown open
and the men staggered Into the outer
office, kicking each other and using their
fists. Stebblngs held tha long steel paper

couid be seen flashing as the men strug
gled. Suddenly Stebblngs struck ficott In
tha body. The blow was repeated a mo
ment later. Scott stsggered backward and
finally fell to the floor. He died within
half an hour.
Mr. Scott was 43 years of age and lived at

ons son, who are at preaent in the east.
Mr. Scott was recently president and owner
of the Msrshfield A Southeastern railroad
and owner of the Scott Lumber company
and owned a large amount of real estate.
He was reputed to be a millionaire.
When told later that Scott was dead
Stebblngs turned pale. If a policeman bad
Dot caught him he would have fallen from
his chair. Finally he controlled himself
enough to speak.
"Dead!" he exclaimed." "I cannot realise
It. I did not mean to kill htm- I was
opening a letter with the paper knife. He
struck me. I hardly know what happened
after that I did not even know that I had
stabbed him. I thought I had only knocked
him down."
