"As to ' Sturfer having had previous
knowledge that the Burt county bonds were
to be Issued, all the evidence showed he
had sufficient Information and could have
made the deal. . The Burt county super
visors testified that ho never made a prop
osition to the hotir?!.. It was conclusively
shown that the Chairman of the board had
twice written SI defer, asking how much he
would bid' r the bdrids and that the let

JM for Howell.
'
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.
The sifting committee Is again wrestling
lth the telephone question. The hill be
fore the fommlttee Is the substitute hill
toy ifoweTl for his telephone rate bill. The
.fate of the bill la uncertain. 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 am In
favor of making the question of telephone
charges an Issue at the alt y election, and
X am opposed. t the legislature Interfer
ing In anyway.
Chairman Warner of the claims commit- ;
tee ls4n fa,vnr of a court of claims for the
flats of Nebraska, lilr. ' Warner'i experi
ence aa a member of this committee has
brought about the idea, and were it not so
late In the- session he would introduce a
pill to that effect. During the laBt few
days this committee has' been at work on
3t different items and '.he. committee has
enly about one, week in which to Investi
gate and make a report on each item.
. "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. Then the i
claims allowed by the cosrt should be paid
by money appropriated by the .legislature.
... ....
Jt would save much time ot tne legislators
an1 would be justice to all men.
; "It la impossible fop a commute to care
fully. pasa upon the large number ot -claims
usually before It la' one week. ..It any In.
estlgatlon has to be set on' foot it cannot
be done. Aa a result many claims go over
from year to year and In every rase a
claimant has to wait two years for a' set
tlement because there is no way to sue
