House: S. F. 114, a bill for a Joint resolution recommending to the -electors of the state .to vote at the next election of membera of the legislature for or against a convention, to revise, amend or change the constitution of .the state of Nebraska, In accordance with section J, article xv of the constitution of the state of Nebraska, has urru Jinuw 111 llljr ilMlua ivi vacvuww vwia- , alteration. - Borne doubt has been expressed as to the right of the chief executive to pass upon a resolution of this purport, but section 16 of Article v of the constitution provides that: ."Every bill passed by the legislature,- be fore It becomes a law and every order, reso lution or vote to Which the concurrence of pom nuuRll Tnny lie nrcesBBiy icjvli uii questions of adjournment) shall be presented to the governor. If he approve he shall " sign it, and thereupon It shall become a law, but If he do not approve, he shall nttiipn It. with his fibleatlnna. to. the housa tn which It shall have originated.

' Fully realizing, therefore, that there may .be Soma question as tq the right of the chief executive In any manner to advise upon the mibjeot and with the greatest re aped for the .prerogatives of the legislature .as a co-ordinate branch .of the government ot this safe, T a least venture the follow ing suggestion by-way of-my disapproval as chtefv exeeutlvo; -of the action o( both houses-InwBklcg concurrent resqlutlo 114. ... Uhlteliasi ..of. tiovernor. v'By'fe'ason'pfthe great' importance of the -undertaking an the great expense; Incident to a constitutional convention, the legisla ture should niove vTy cautiously In tak ing action along this line. A constitutional convention would entail an approximate ex pense on the taxpayer of $lou,WU, possibly much more, without any certainty of the -results of St'(ch convention being adopted. It would be Just aa dlffliult to carry at the polls a proposition authorizing the calling, of a constitutional convention as 1 would be to csrry an amendment to the consti tution. The difficulties In the way of either proposition are 'serious and those who op pose - constitutional amendments on the ground that experience has . shown they cannot be carried are estopped from argu ing a constitutional convention aa a aurer and easier meana of relief. Again, It would be impoaslblo to secure results through tha medium of a constitutional convention be fore liH. even If evfry plan should be con summated In the mwt expeditious way possible. Rtlief could be afforded by means of constitutional amendmenta In 1H04, two years earllr. ' ' It Is adntuted that tne constitution la In adequate In a number of partlculara and I have consistently advocated revision by amendments rather than by convention. To undertake at this time to revise the whole organic ,r of the state, or to place the Whol. organic law In Jeopardy, as would be the case should a constitutional conven tion be called, would Interfere with in vestmenta, Improvements, developments nd with busluesa senerally. The consti tution is the bulwark of Justice and safe guard ef-our Civil rights. It shelters life. Ilbortv and property- It la a aafety valve to public ntlmnt and holds In .proper bounds every instrument and institution of ppclely. liefore It laws must stand or fall, nd hvvlt I he rlghta of all the people are meaiuirfd, ctinsrvtd and protected. A new constitution would require new construc tions and new constructions would require many years of expensive litigation before the courts will have as fully construed the pew as they have tha old. The matter of expense, the matter of dclav. he danger of unsettling business Interests and condi tions and the poshlbillty of Jeopardiclug r.iany provisions of our organic law which might not to be brought In question prompt roe to withhold my approval from this Joint resolution.. In lieu thereof I would most respectfully ask, the house to recon slder tha bills proposing constitutional lUr.endinenta, which by prior action It haa indennitely postponed.

But the whole question Is regarded unsettled and It Is believed that this experience, will be the means of carrying It to the aupreme court for definite settlement.

A lull; followed tbo reading In the senate. : No comments were passed and no action taken on the massage It was disposed ot as unceremoniously as if it had been a perfunctory, resolution by some member. -. .:.' In the houtie, however, things were dif ferent. As soon as the message' was read Gilbert of Douglas moved that the house reconsider tha' vote of yesterday by which tt passed 8.

'Thompson of Merrick took "the same view, and the speaker sustained the point Gilbert took the position, that, tbo, governor's message waa not necessarily k veto.

Sears of Bu, Thompson of Merrick and Ferry of Furnas, all spoke for the passage of ' the bill, tho governor's veto notwithstanding. " They ar gued that It was . a business- proposition and that since the bouse and senate acted deliberately upon the matter before they should not now reverse themselves. A lively skirmish ensued when the rqjl was called. About one-Oftb of the members had to be prodded out of their corners to vote. Some names were called a dozen times. Scarcely a member kept bis seat during the exciting scenes. It took sixty seven votes,' two-thirds, to carry and the friends ot the measure bent every energy to beat down the opposition. Unable to get the necessary number a call ot the house finally waa taken on demand ot Perry and others. The call waa raised, demanded agalp and again raised before the sixty seventh man could be dragged over. The final result showed sixty-seven affirmatives and twenty-four negatives.

He declared the bill was de signed to "bear .down.'.' on such classes as the railroad men of Omaha and would work Incomparable hardships, on them. Junes ot Otoe, a retail merchant, made a forcible defense of the bill,, Insisting that It would Injure no honest wageworker, but would afford necessary protection to the retailer. Mockett of .

STORY IS TOLD OF A DEFALCATION A tier the Altcsted "hortaae ia Halt Good it la ald There Will Bo LlttU Left for tho Heirs. - BUFFALO, N. Y., April 7. Wallace Thayer, who waa Arthur R. rannell's friend and legal adviser In hl lifetime, was seen todsy relative to published statement quoting blm as saying there was no doubt that the story ot misappropriation was true and that Prnnell'a brother. J. Frederick Pennell, had pleaded with him to destroy the trust pspers. He repudiated much that was attributed to him and made a brief statement, which embodied, be said, all that he cared to state at the present time. Mr. Thayer said: J. Frederick Pennell, brother of. A, R. Pennell. came to me last Friday and told me Arthur had left large debts to friends in the east. These debts, he eald, were large enough to practically consume all tha Insurance, and he advanced that as a rea son why I should turn over to him the ?;'5.000 Insurance which A. R. Pennell left In trust with me. He said: "Unlvsr you do this, there will be practically nothing left for me." Then Mr. Thayer made thla statement: I drew the Inference from J. F. Pennell's statements that his brother must have made misappropriations of money. There Is a vast amount of debt against the estate, some $200,000, and 1 can't see how he could have gotten Into debt to that amount un less he spent money belonging to others. Thomaa Penny, who has been acting as attorney for Pennell's estate, when seen today was unwilling to disclose anything regarding Pennell's money transactions. When asked whether tbe statement re garding hi relatione with Burdlck, which Pennell Is said to have written out just prior to his death, would be made public at tbe Inquest, Mr, Penny said he knew nothing of any such, statements.
