This In reference to Blackburn's soUettous Impromptu act. Things' were reaching a white heat when Loomls of Dodge eloquently brought about the. climax. ; ' ' VThls, debate has degenerated Into a per sonal attaok on our speaker," .aid the venerable minority leader, who had only a few mo'ttfeflts before offered a re.olution and made a speech in commendation of Speaker Mockett. "Let us vote down thl. motion-. nd show by our actions that we do not tolerate . any such unwarranted attack. and stand by our epeaker.". This brought forth a round of applause and the Sweety motion, which wsa at once put.. was defeated with but one vote, that f Ten Eyck In the affirmative. Even Eweexy himself did not raise hia voice for It This killed the bill, which had been recommended for Indefinite postponement by the conference committee. When the house reconvened at 8:30 to night, after' a recess from 6 o'clock, Ten EyCfc'asked -the privilege, of the floor and offered apologies to the speaker and the bouse. A few cordial remarks from the speaker closed .the Incident. ' 'Douglas county members, who. It will be remembered,- have recently tried their hand at making city charters, had a lively skirmish' today when they discovered that S. F. 180, by Hall of Douglas, had been Indefinitely postponed y-Ua house. This la the bill, that, pro-Ides Omaha with a police, judge, whirl? functionary Is omitted In the ,new city charter act., '!

Be.elged by interminable onslaughts from organized labor, it took all the power and skill Its friends could com mand to fore the measure through. The efforts of those against the bill 'were not altogether barren. of results, for Its cham pions admit the measure was seriously emasculated. The origin of this bill I. traced to the re tad I merchants. It. enemies hold the provisions to . be unfair to the working classes' In Omaha,- South Omaha, Lincoln and the' other more populous center, of the state. Its' friends vrged that It will work oo hardship upon any honest wags worker, but will affprd necessary protection to tho retailer. Representative Jone explain, the bill a. follow.:- ' . . "The only change then In the old law made oy this bin as passed by the senate nd house, I. that the employe whose wages xoeed 836 pet- month may be compelled by legal process to apply one-fifth of his monthly earnlnga to the discharge of his Indebtedness contracted for the necessaries of life. It does not appear that the law will materially affect the very poor or do Injustice to any. chva or condition of me chanics, laborers or wage-earners, but will afford a measure' of protection to -the re tailer who "accommodates his customors by extending' to them credit on monthly set tlements."

J i After a long and solrited flgbti between the 'house and the senate It has heefe 'de cided to pay tho wolf bounty claim of $40, 000.' The decision was factied' this after noon when the-senate conference committee receded In behalf of the senate iff cutting out this claim and the'' senate adopted the report of the committee .This matter has been fought out between ; the , two houses for three days. The house committeemen declare that had Senator Warner not been removed trom the senate conference .com mittee no decision would have.been renchcd. The majority of. the .housonleraberr Jiave been for paying the claimss since the first. The senate cut down '-the- claim of . ex State Treasurer Hill from 84.000 to 82.000, and the house bad to Concede this In order to prevent an Interminable deadlock. Railroad Bill ': Tails. . . ' The Union Pacific failed 'to foroe through the house 8. F. 202 by. President Pro Tem Harrison of the senate, by means of which that corporation sought to evade a portion of its school taxes. The bill went with that number that were buried in the grave yard, at the final wlndup. - . .' This bill sought to impose upon rural school boards the necessity of .anticipating at the beginning of every school year all the expenses for that year and make out a list of them to be presented to the county clerk and taken as the basis of the levy for the maintenance of those districts. If this list failed to contain every cent of ex pense incurred for the year It would .imply mean that" the district would '.lose, that much, for ' the clerk would be powerless to pay for anything not Included (ln 'the list. Ana ne wouia oe uname to maice any levy at all where suh" list, were not pre sented. Opponents1 of- the (Mill 'pointed out the utter folly of such a provision, holding that It would be almost Impossible for any district to anticipate to 'the very cent all the expenditures It would make for that year.' The result would be, they declared. the closing down of a number of country schools In western counties, wherein over seventy . districts the Union Pacific, was practically the sole taxpayer. Another provision' they objected' to was that the clerk wa. prevented from, levying a tax greater than 20 mills. ' The public school committee In the house wantsd thri. raised to 30 mills.- Opponents feel rather Jubilant over defeating this measure1 which they regarded as distinctly a railroad bill. Boavrel Custodian of Halli. ' The power to purchase supplies for the legislature and the custody of the legts latlve halls and property have been re moved from the secretary of .tat. and vested In the board of public land, and buildings by the passage of 8. F. 276 and 8. F. 278 by the house today. The gov ernof's approval Is all that Is needed to transform these bill. Into law, i During thl. session there ha. been a great deal of dissatisfaction- expressed over the law that makes the secretary of State the purchasing agent and custodian of 'legis latlve supplies. This dissatisfaction led to somewhat of an investigation of certain purchases made In recent years and the result of the Investigation admittedly lent substance to the determination to wrest this function from the secretary of state. 8. F. 276 provides that the board shall advertise for - bids for supplies at least sixty day. prior to the beginning of the session and that the limit of stationery and other necessary "supply" purchases shall b. limited to 8500 in opening the 'session 8. F. 276 give, the board custody of the house and senate halls and property. Both measures are by Benatbr Cox. SENATE PUTS THROUGH BILLS Miit Hows Rolls Paaaed fa the Closing; Honrs of tftc 8es-. slon.
