In. la Warm tp, with Two Active Caadldates (or Reanbllcaa Nomination for Major. fFrom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Feb. (.(Special.) The Btate Board of Charities and Corrections tpent a profitable and pleaiant day, the second of Its annual conTentlon. This morning Chief of Police Donahue waa to have been here and deliver an address on the punishment of the husband who deaerts hta family. The chief failed to ahow up, but hla address was read and produced much favorable com ment. The chief atated that he had re quested the Douglas delegation to Introduce , a bill covering his Idea. The bill la not to Include punishment for wires who desert their husbands, aald the chief, because casta of thla kind were rare. Following this, Chief of fonce Hoaglacd of Lincoln endorsed the sentiments of the paper -by the Omaha chief, excepting that the law ahould Include runaway wlvea aa well. Rev. L P. Ludden and Rev. J. 8. Ieavltt. the latter of Omaha, made ahort talks, after which the following resolution was adopted: Be It Resolved. That we commend to the legislature that a law be enacted that shall In eome way restrict the license and law lessness of unfaithful huebands and wlvea who abandon their companions and help less children, or fall to support them In a meaeure of their ability, and they become pitiable charge on the communities In whirh they live, beside undergoing untold sufferings, all on account .of the dlsnlpa , tton and depravity of the husband or fs'her and wife or mother, who have cruelly left their home. We recommend that eueh desertions be made a felony and punished accordingly with adequate penalties. Moreover that a system be devised by which such husbands may be paroled and be compelled to labor for the support of their families. We 'call attention of honorable legislators to a law In the state of Ohio, which com pels unfaithful parents to return and sup port their homes properly. The Ohio Jaw is proving an effective deterrent against the cowardly and cruel evil. Dr. Rowlands, Chief of Police Hoaglsnd and John Davles were appointed as a com mittee to present thla resolution to the legislature. Rev. Luther P. Ludden gave an" address on the aubjoct of dependent children. Dur ing the course of bla remarks he criticised the action of the conference In sending resolutions to the legislature. He said the proper and most effective way would be for every one to write to hla senatora and rep resentatives, demanding that tbey take some action In thla matter and suggesting changea that might be beneficial and ef fective. He commended the work that was being done, but suggested some other de partments which were necessary to suc cessfully carry on the wjrk. A home for crippled - children was especially recom mended. Tho difficulty of getting these unfortunates Into the homes for the friend leea was spoken of and. the attempt that was being made to' keep them out of the almshouses. The delegates adjourned at 12 o'clock and Went to the Lincoln asylum, where they were the guests of Superintendent Green for lunch. At the business meeting tonight the con ference elected H. V.

He declared that the children are the problem of the age? Cnder conditions existing In many atatea they are thrown In with men of the worat type when ar rested for trifling offenses. The Juvenile court does away with thla and takes the place of the parents who In many cases are not capable of taking core of them The methoda uaed are kindness and pa tience and are calculated to bring out the better qualities that every child possesses. The juvenile court recognises the fact that tbey are misguided fnd hot really crimi nals and seeks to change the courae of their Uvea by giving needed help. The interest of the child Is the first considers tlon of, the court. The. influences of i home are given If the child has no homo, and he is taught to obey and respect the rights of others. He said that the Jaw pais v the dollar above the child, but the juvenile court Is a saving to the state Bom Bguies used showed that 40 per cent f the childreu who get into the habit of 1 taking Jlttlo thlnga later find their way Into penitentiaries. The children arrested in Lincoln In one year numbered Sis. The great consideration Is to keep them away from criminals and lead then to a better lire.

The Fremont Telephone company is having some trouble with people here over trim ming trees. The new company's wires' are many of them thirty-five feet above the ground. This bring i them well Into the topi of the larger troes and in order to put In the wires compela them to practically cut out the top of the tree. This method ot trimming, while necessary )n order to string the wires, ruins the looks of the trees especially ash and elms. Several prop erty owners have forbidden the company to trim the trees opposite their lots, and as It will have to be done In order to put up the wires It Is probablo that an Injunction tult may be started on account ot the tele phone business. The Bell company put an additional fcrce of men at work todsy, and while they are undoubtedly loosing some business, are putting In. some new tele phones. now Keeps Karmrra at Home. YORK. Neb.. Feb.

REMAINDER IS SCATTERE0 ALONG TRACK Victim Is "apposed ta Be David leh olson, ttks Was Retaralaff Hosaa After Tiro Tears Stay la Oklahoma. HASTINGS. Neb.. Feb. 6 (Special Tele gram.) When Burlington passenger train No. S reached Hastings tonight It carried a part of a human body on the front trucks of the second sleeper. When the remains were removed It was found to be the chest and one leg of a man. There was not a stitch of clothing on the portion of the body and only a part of a aboe waa on the limb. A search down the track revealed small pieces of flesh scattered along for a quar ter of a mile. The head and arms were found a quarter of a mile from the depot, scattered along about thirty feet apart. As yet nothing hss been found to Identify the body, but Policeman Wldmler 'was aboard No.'S and he is of the opinion that the remains are those of David Nicholson, who wss on his way home to Kenesaw, Neb., after an absence of two years in Oklahoma. Mr. Wldmler says that he was talking to Nicholson about ten mlnuea be fore the train reached Haatlngs and that as Mr. ' Nicholson was under the Influence of liquor he offered his assistance and Nicholson accepted, but said he had to first get some things from another car. That wss the last seen of Nicholson. The re mains were so badly mutilated that It Is almost Impossible to recognise them, but Judging from the cap, a pair of v glasses and small pieces of clothing found Mr. Wldmler seems confident that It was David Nicholson who met such a horrible death. Coroner Chapman, In gathering up the remains, found half of the head In a snow bank, together with a few other scattered pieces of the body, and took them to an undertaker's establishment. It seems that the man was about 60 years old, had a gray beard, wore glasses and had on dark clothes. The Inquest will be held In the morning.

To tho Editor of The Bee: I notice In your paper a communication from people at West Point and Nebraska City on the question ot good roads. I would say to those , Interested in hav ing good roads that the trouble is not all in 'the present road law. While It Is far from perfect, still every time tho legis lature glvea It a turn they only leave the matter In worae ahape than before, ao It Is not best to lose too much time looking toward the state house to build roads, as rcada cannot be built without money, push and perseverance. Dodge county Is under township organ ization. About ten years ago the people of Cotterall and Union townships conceived the Idea that they would be better with one road overseer In each township than with three, and they petitioned the super visors to have this done. Elnce that time one man In each township hss looked after the work of keeping the .roads smooth, but the people did not stop at this, for each township purchased a road machine and four lead teamfand relied on the poll tax tcr pusher. I feel safe In saying that the two ma chines have made at least 200 miles of good road grades in their own and neighboring townships, which adds very much to the trade ot our city, and this was all brought, about without asking the legislature to amend the present road laws. Wa find that the only way to get good roads and to keep them good Is for the people to take off their coats and go after them and keep after them, for there la no use In making -toads unlest they are kept in good condition, which can be done only by having one road overseer In a town ship. Any person wishing information on the question of good roads and how to keep them good will do well to drop off at North Bend and look at our roads and learn how It wsa all brought about. C. CUSACK.

I'nlcn Pacific and South ern Pacific deals have not yet issued an official statement, nor Is it likely that they will do so until the agreement has been ratified by their resp-ctlve boards.

The terms include giving Rock Island stock In psrt or whole psyment for the Houston 41 Texas Central stock bought, and this presumably mesns that the Southern Pacific, which Is controlled by the Union Pacific, will take an amount ot Rock Island into tLe treasury.

ROOSEVELT REFUSES (Continued from First Page.) that Mr. Bowen has an absolute right, act ing for Venezuela11 of course, to object to the president acting as arbitrator. To do ao would be painful to Mr. Bowen, whoso admiration tor Mr. Roosevelt Is well known, but he felt compelled to keep In mind that he Is not here aa an American, but aa the representative of Venezuela. The British gmbsssador's conduct baa re sulted In several details of the conference of laat Monday leaking cut and theae are aubatantlated by the other negotiators preaent. It aeems that when the British ambassa dor, who took the lesd st this conference, had finished reading the cablegram of Lord Lansdowne, containing his last proposition for a 20 and 10 per cent division of the customs receipts between the alliea and other claimant natlona respectively, Mr. Bowen at once remarked In an emphatic tone that the proposition waa but another scheme to trick Venezuela- into abetting an alliance againit her for six "years and probably longer. , Bowea Explodes Bemhshell. He added thst he would not consent to any scheme for continuing the triple alli ance one day longer than he was forced to do. A diplomat stated' afterward: "Of courae It waa Mr. Bowen who exploded the bombshell the moment it was made." The charge that Grest Brltsin wss en deavoring secretly to continue Its alliance with Germany was resented by the British ambassador, although he showed no Ill feeling at the conference. He afterward sent a cablegram to London that ha was displeased with the conduct of Mr. Bowen snd If It were left to him to decide ha would not continue negotiations with him. He expressed to his conferees ot the diplomatic corps the greatest Indignation that an ambassador from the court of St. James should be so treated. On the other hand, both the Italian ambassador and German minister have taken occasion to say several times since the Monday conference thst Mr. Bowen hss treated a'4 the nego tiator with uniform courtesy and surpris ing generosity, throughout the negotiations, and only yesterday both of theae diplomats celled and expressed thanks for bis consid eration of them. v "Mr. Bowen must stand up for -Venezuela," It was explained. "If be did not he would forfeit our respect." Another feature of the last twenty-four hours hsa been the receipt ot an exceedingly tart cablegram from Lord Lansdowne st the British embassy. The cablegram, it is stated, went ao far as to remind the Trltlsh ambassador that he was here to obey or ders. Dispute Bowea'a Aathorlty. PARIS, Feb. (.The correspondent of the Matin at Caracas telegraphs that a pamphlet Is being circulated in that city in which It Is asserted that, the powers con ferred on Minister Bowen are null because of an, article in the Venezuela constitution providing that a representative ot Venez uela, in such case, must have an authori zation in order to serve the public, and tho pamphlet points out that Minister Bowen hss no such authorization. Moreover, ac cording to the pamphlet, any convention he may negotiate will be Invalid unless It Is confirmed by the Venezuelan congress. Think Offer la a ' t'onceaalon. LONDON. Feb. (.It'1 la' officially stated that the allies' offer to submit the method of treatment of their 'claims to arbitra tion is a concession which ahould facili tate rather than delay a speedy settlement of the Venozuelan affairs. At the Crmao embassy It Is eald that the blockade should be raised within a few days. Emphasis continues to be la!d on the contention that the point the alliea now agree o arbitrate is not preferential, bat separate treatment for their claims. It Is asserted that Mr-. Bowen has mads explanations to Ambassador Herbert which have removed the friction in that quarter, and It la just - possible that recourse to The Hague, or to Mr. Roosevelt, may be averted even at tho laat moment by the representstives of the allies coming to an understanding with Mr. Bowen himself In regard to the separate treatment of their claims. v It Is understood that instructions to th's end hsve been reiterated from Berlin and London with the hope of facilitating the procedure.
