Still It may come under the wire on a scratch. The chances are, however, that It will not be ready to leave the Joint com mittee before tb first of next week. This Is said on the basis of tha committee's statement. . The subcommittee composed from the Joint committee that carved out the bill put In a busy day and night whipping into shape the numerous fragments. Its work this act Is that I fear It compel Omaha -to ptrt up l, 000,000 or of the senate not to sign certain affidavits circulated by bnemles of tills act calculated to defeat It, ,1 did, so because. ! did not approve the -prtnriple of that method, and not because I favored the Howell-Gllbert ct. I wish this to be understood. "One reason I deprecate the purpose of 111," eventually. 16.- 600,000 for that water worka plant. We voted $3,000,00.0 In bonds to bvjy the plant. The .present ownera of the water works floated several millions In bonds. If I am correctly . Informed, and I fear the possi bility of our being forced, to take up their bonds, too." Representative. Gilbert, referring to. the lieutenant governor's attitude, bad this to say: I am not surprised at McOllton's posi tion, that Is, at his opposition to this act. T)ut I think his objections are 111 founded. In my Judgment there Is bo danger of Omaha having to assume any water works bonds. That theory was urged In Kansas City and It resulted that the city bought the water worka and the water' works com pany took care of its own bonds."

At last the subcommittee has settled the method of telephone assessment and set tled it, many think, by dealing a rather hard blow to the Bell company. The prop osition Is to assess all tangible property and la addition the gross earnings as rep resenting the franchises. It Is thought by some that thta proposition will be strenuously opposed In the legislature on the ground that It contemplates a hardship on the Bell people. ' The plan to have county assessors has been approved by the subcommittee and will be embodied In the bill, a also will the Iowa plan, recommended by John N. Baldwin, to list property at full value and assess at one-fourth. - A member of the subcommittee tonight aid: "No special bill or law has guided Ua In our work. The people will find that the bill, when submitted, will be based on no single act, but will be derived from the laws of various states. And I believe they Will find bill that they can commend and I feel sure It will pass the legislature.

The totals for the country are: Shelly of Douglas demonstrated his anti home rule proclivities this afternoon when he Introduced In the house the bill that has been anticipated, providing for the estab lishment In South Omaha of a governor- appointed board of Ore and police com missioners. The measure apparently has the approval of the remainder of the Doug las county dclegstlon, especially In that It deals a blow at the policy of home rule government. The bill contemplates the appointment of a board ot live, not more than three of whom are to be from the aame political party. On of the essential features of It Is that It prohibits the mayor of South Qmaha from acting or serving on the board as ah active or ex-offlclo member, and furthermore excludes the city's chief ex ecutive from any relation whatever with the board, which, like the reigning regents In Omaha, la to be a state creature, under state dominion, aince tha members will be amenable only to the governor and to that I terest on county deposits to I per cent. official. sllreotly. The sealoua endeavor of th members from Douglas county Instru mental In this piece of projected legislation to "harpoon" the present mayor of South Omaha, was manifested In a remark made by one of this number this afternoon in speaking ot the bill. He 'said, with evi dent -pride: , "Oh, but it will make some people smoke when they eee how it leaves Mr. Mayor out In the cold." .This suggested the query: "Is this a bill .for an act to enable certain dla- gruntled politicians to vent their spleen on their sucoesstul opponents?"

' INSURE The attractive appearance ot your silver by using GrORHAM Silver Polish WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. In order that the administration's anti-trust program of legislation may be rendered entirely sym metrical, it Is known that President Roose velt desires that what Is called the Elklns rebate bill shall be enacted Into a law. That measure was passed by the senate lsst week, and Is now pending before the Interstate and foreign commerce commit tee of the house, of which Representative Hepburn (la.) la chairman During several days the president has been conferring, ss opportunity offered, with prominent members. of the house about the rebate bill, and the subject was con sidered at a conference at the White House between President Roosevelt and several of the leaders, of the house. The. president alsa bas had a conference with Speaker Henderson concerning tha bill. It Is understood that, . while the speaker Is not wholly in sympathy with the measure, be will not stand In the way ot Its consideration by the house. Indeed, It can be stated upon excellent authority that the speaker and the commit tee on rules, of which be Is ex-afncio head. will authorize. If necessary, a soeclal rule providing tor the consMeratlon ot the bill, after It has been reported by Colonel Hep burn's committee. Such action. It is. asserted, practically would mean the passage of the measure by the house and its enactment Into law. Agree on Blklas Bill. The house committee on Interstate and foreign commerce today agreed to favor ably report the Elklns anti-rebate bill with certain amendments. ' The committee recommends an amend ment to the last paragraph of section S, striking out the 'words "or corporation," so the provision will wad: "But no person shall be prosecuted or subjected to any penalty or forfeiture for or on account of any transaction, matter or thing concern ing which he may testify to' produce e'vl dence, documentary or' otherwise, in such proceeding." The ' committee proposes that section three be further amended by the adoption of the following provision: "And provided that the provisions of an act to expedite the hearing and determination of suits-In equity pending or hereafter brought under the acts of July' 2; 1880, entitled an act to protect trade and commerce against un lawful restraints and monopoly, an act to regulate- commerce approved February 4 1887, or any other ac'tsrhavtng a like pur pose that may be hereafter enacted, ap proved February , 1903,' shall apply to any case prosecuted Under the direction of the attorney genersl, in the name of the inter state commeroe commission."

President Holds Conferences. Discussion of anti-trust legislation was continued at the White House today. Presl dent Roosevelt has had several conferences with senators and representatives concern lng pending measures, the decision re volvlng about the Nelson publicity amend ment to the Department of Commerce bill, the Elklns rebate bill and the Llttlefield bill, which was passed by the houseon Saturday. Early In the day the president bad a con ference with Mr. Llttlefield. The , Utter Is urging strongly that his' measure be taken up and passed by the senate. He maintains' that' while' the Nelson amend ment provides for publicity aa to some ot the operations of corporations. It does not go o far aa his measure goes and not so far as congress ought to go in tne matter- Later. Senators Bpooner and Aldrlch Jiad extended talka with the president about trust legislation. With other congressional callers the president discussed the' sub ject, urging upon all. it Is understood, the desirability that congress should enact the Nelson amendment and the Elklna rebate measure. It is the consensus of opinion among members of cobgres that both of- those measures will be enacted Into few and that It Is scarcely likely that congress will go further with- antl-trust legislation at the present session. ' ' Omnibns Claims Bill. Senator Warren, from - the. . committee on claims, today reported an omnibus claims bill. It carries total direct ap proprlatlons ot $900,000. Packers Elect Oflleers.

The republican senatorial advocates of a compromise statehood bill have prepared their measure, but are holding it back be cause of the opposition of democratic sen ators, and also because some of the repub- cans are not entirely reconciled to the change. Cnblnet I Well I'lraaed. President Roosevelt and his cabinet were session for nearly an hour and a half today discussing apong other matters the chances for anti-trust legislation. The position of the various bills gave great sat isfaction. Secretary Root brought again to the cab inet's attention the necessity of legisla tion regarding the currency ot the Philip. pines. As viewed by the administration the necessity for both financial and other remedial legislation for the Philippines Is very urgent. Indeed, If something ot the kind be not accomplished soon, there is apprehension that Another rebellion may develop. The president took up with Individual members of the cabinet some routine de partmental matters, but It Is said the con sideration developed nothing of great consequence. V. c a ?

The Post to morrow will publish an interview with Speaker Henderson with respect to reports that he la endeavoring to thwart anti-trust legislation. The reports also said Mr. Henderson would become attorney for one of the Standard Oil companies in March. The speaker said: "In the first place, I have never known any person or official connected with the Standard Oil company, nor do I know of such official or person now. The only re lations I ever had with any person con nected with the Standard Oil company was some years ago, when I wrote to Mr. Rock efeller asking him to assist Upper Iowa university, my alma mater. I think I asked him to assist in the purchase of an organ. Mr. Rockefeller, however, declined to as sist.

All the passengers were In their bunks when Madlana struck, but the shock awak ened them and they rushed on deck, the majority of them without attempting to dress. Considerable alarm prevailed when they found the ' vessel hard on, but the officers calmed them.

A eec ond and more successful attempt was, bow ever, made a little later, when the first batch of passengers was lowered Into the boat and after much exertion carried to the tug Gladlsfen. Madlana's other life boats were then launched In rapid suc cession and the remainder of the passen gers and crew gained aafety. By the prompt action of Engineer Nelson who had the bulkheada broken through, the mails and light baggage were brought In the last boats to the tug, which landed the passengers, crew, malls and baggage here this afternoon. Joseph K. Crofut of Hartford, Conn one of the passengers, said: There was no confusion among the ofll cers or passengers.
