' Senator 1L B, Howell rosy have' strong desires, of ".eBtertng"tS'rtty campaign In Omaha' at a' republican candidate for mayor, as hp Is Intact' said to have, but some of Mi colleagues from Douglas county are not disposed to lew '.with much complacency Ma hlgh.'s)rattona. - Two members of the delegation were asked today what they thought of ' Howell's chances. Their an swers wr very substantially the same. They were, not favorable'. One said: "I understand that Howell claims to have the delegation from his, the Fourth ward, and .Is much Impressed with his possibil ities, hut for' my part I am unable to aee where he has the leSBt chance. I don't believe he .-would get started In the pri maries. I know he could not he nominated." .Mr. Howell some time ago was quoted as saying he was a candidate and later he denied this. Still his colleagues persist in regarding him as a candidate. The senti ment among the. -delegation from Douglas county all of whom are antl-Moores men, seems to center on Bingham as the strong Mt man In -the race en their side. 1 Legislative Gossip.

Hall of Doug lass will 'not support' It.' 'Today he aald: "The substitute bill l Just like the first toept that possibly it la .little worse. It take away ' from the council that power which now belongs to iU I am against the bill fer that reason. The present city charters give to the council the power that the bill would put In 'the hands of the leg islature, and If the eouneM will not do Its duty, then elect men who will.

"I era certaln:y in favor of a court of plaltes." Senator .Warner said, "and I would Ilka to see such a court established. It should: be- fashioned along the lines ot he Volt States court, of claims and I Relieve it would result In benefit to the State and to claimants. This court should eonslst of say three , members, and should p.old: regular meetings at, vhlch the claim- ' ants could state their cases.
