Governor Mickey-transmitted to th 'ken

gainst' msr-passage. oi b. in, me oiu
providing for. a constitutional convention:
' To the Honorable Speaker and Members
of, the. 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

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

dependent and'mwrt frmn , the executive:
.branch of the :dverttnenf,,. upon a matter,
eo Important and . vital to -the welfare, and
' good government xK. the state. .
, It Is also borne in mind that on a pre
vious occasion, by favor or courtesy, If not
of rltiht, S. K. 117, being a.' Joint resolution
memorialising tha connress of the Lnlted
'.States upon the subject of leasing of pub
' ltd lands for gracing purposes and a ' ',
being a concurrent resolution memorialising
congress to establish the true military
status of tha First Nebrnska militia, were
'Bent to me for and received approval, pre
sumably at the request of the legislature.
' 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

About 4:80 p. m. tha governor'a' private
secretary appeared In the senate with the
message. After reading It there he pro
"needed at once to the house. ' In each place
greatest Interest --was , aroused. Members
arose from their seats and gathered In
thsctlg'n of, the bouse Where' the aecre
tary stood, llstenlnglnlently';to 'every word
of the ommuiUcgtlon. 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. F. 114, the. bill providing for
the calling of constitutional convention
and Ten Eyck of DougW seconded1 the mo
tion- .) .vc.-;
Perry of Furnas Opened the fight to sus
tain the action-' of. the legislature as against
the chief executive,. He raised the point that
8. F, 114,; haying orjglnated in th-senate,
the house waj. not at llhert to ta action
until the 'senate, - which had po's's.esslhn of
the measure'' bad acted. '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. ' But the rul
ing obtained that it -was, and Gilbert's
motion ws-tabled on motion from Sears
of Burt that action by the ' house - be de
ferred until the senate had taken Some
steps In the matter.

at $9 a set, , - .
' Douglas of Rock plead with the house' to
non-concur, and thua stand bytfhe chief ex
ecutive of the state.: McClay of Lancaster
spoke along the same line.. 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. The fuslonlsts.
save Loomis and Kennedy, their leaders,
ana Gisbwuier, voted to override tho gov
ernor's veto.
These republicans voted In the negative
to sustain the governor:
Bartoo, Belden, Cassell, Davis, Douglas,

ardson, Jones ot Otoe, Jouvenat, Jahnal,

On " motion of Sears, chairman of the

H. R. 445, the general claims bill, and a
conference committee was appointed. The
senate had stricken out the two principal
Items. $40,000 for wolf bounties and $4,000
for ex-State Treasurer J. E. Hill.' 'Sears,
Mangold and Mendenhall were appointed
as the house part of the committee.
These bills then were passed:
S. F. 61, by, Saunders, relating to insur
ance company fees..'' ' ' , "-" '','
S. F. 38, by Hall of Douglas, to" prevent

Mlkesell. of Dixon at the afternoon ses
sion offered a " resolution '.to pay members
"ot the special revenue committee $5 day
for the time they worked tin framing the
bill When tbe-bous waa not In, session.

Thompson opposed It, except to say that
If any renomeration waa' made at' all It
snouia not excera tne amount of actual ex
penses Incurred and he did not oven advo
rate tbla. Loomis also spoka against It
and finally Mlkesell withdrew the resolu
lion.

one year and three lor two years, waa
adopted. ....
The Joint afeteaco committee's report

ices. Thla resolution by Sweety Wss adopted:

Ollbert of Douglas. Offered resolution to
pay the expenses of all members for their
Junketing trip's, despite the adoption some
time ago Of Harrison's resolution to pay
only such expenses Ss Were actually' In
curred. Thompson put the .question suc
cinctly in skying that a member could get
all he was 'entitled to under the Harrison
resolution and no more, but he thought no
member would Want any more than he
really was entitled to. Oil roll call the
motion- wss lost by a vote of 46 to 39, two

87, by Norrls,. the exemption lien bill, at
once came up. The bill exempts 80 per.
cent of monthly wages and all the wages
where they amount to $35 or less a month.
Loomis of Dodge attacked the bill as a
vicious Imposition on the wage earners,
which, be said, had Emanated from retail
merchants. 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 . Lancaster spoke tn support
of the bill. Wilson of Pawnee also spoke
for It. Jones of Otoe bad moved to recom
mend the bill for passage and Sweezy of

The speaker replied In cordial terms,
referring to the occasion as one of the
"proudest of bla life." ,
An elaborate bouquet ' was then pre
sented by the employes as a token to ths
speaker.
Douglas of Rock, In behalf of the house
employes, then presented to Chief Clerk
Wall beautiful silver loving cup. Mr.
Wall briefly bespoke his appreciation for
the gift and affection for his large corps of

PENNELL ESTATE INVOLVED
Lawyer Badly in Debt tt Time of
Bi Death.
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.
