Jackaon to Lincoln and informed him that
ha would never give hla 'vote to him. Then
In a letter of thanke to Judge Barnea for
hla support, Mr. Jackson announced hla
retirement from tha race. ,
- The new stand taken by Judge Barnes
front which It is not likely he will change,
leaves the matter up to Judge Bedgwlrk.

whom he. ha a supported elnce he was
elected to membership on the bench, be
cause he saw there was no chance for him
nnd then came out for IJndsay because he

BTRACrSE, Neb., April 20. (Speclal.)-
Raln and sleet fell here last night, ac
companied by a cold, raw wind. Agri
cultural conditions need warm weather
rather than moisture and the farmers are
complaining because of the late spring.
Oats planted during the last three weeks
have had little opportunity to germinate
and some of the farmers give It aa their
opinion that the seed has spoiled. Holders
of ear corn are taking advantage of the
high prices and shelling.

EFFECT OF NEW HOMESTEAD LAW
Many Thousand Acres of Land Will Ba
Affected In O'Neill District.
O'NEILL. Neb.. April 20. (Special.)
Thfre was much rejoicing here when The
Bee arrived innounclng the passage of
Congressman Klnkald s 640-acre homestead
bill by the national house of represents-
lives. 1
inquiry at tne local tana omce aeveiops
the fact that the bill applies to this land
dlstrlct and that there is yet about too.tou
acres of public land In this district, divided
approximately aa follows:
Acres.
Holt county 148,400
Brown county 6.020
Garfield county
Ijoup county ,
Rock couutv
.145.400
JH.WHl
Wheeler county 99.720
It appears to have long since been recog
nixed In this locality that the Increase In
the acreage of the homestead was the only
proper and lasting solution of the public
land question In western Nebraska and Is
pointed out by those who have had ex
perience that a farmer cannot make a liv-
ing on a single quarter section or land, but
mat witn mo acres a, carerui mna.ean. tqr

WASHINGTON. April 20 At a meeting
today of the house Judiciary committee.
Williams of Mississippi, the minority lend
er, charged that the attorney general had
failed In his duty to conduct criminal
prosecutions against those declared by the
supreme court In the merger case to have
violated the anti-trust law, and also had
failed to Institute legal proceedings against
the anthracite coal-carrying roads, although
the attorney general had in hla possession
a report favorable to prosecutions. In a
letter to the chairman of the committee.
from which Mr. Williams read, the attor
ney general declared It would bo Incom
patible with public Interest to give the In
formation to congress, but Mr. Williams
declared that It waa the duty of congress
to Impeach an officer of the government
chronically fulling to observe his oath In
the execution of the law.
. Through the failure of all but three of
the republlcammembers to attend the meet
ing of the house committee on Judiciary to
day, favorable reports were authorised on
two resolutions by Mr. Williams, the mi
nority floor leader, calling for Information
from the attorney general. Chairman
Jenkins endeavored to prevent action on
the resolutions, but a vote was forced.
The six democratic members of the com
mittee were present and in order to fol
low the action of his committee, the chair
man voted with them. One of the resolu
tions favorably acted upon requeats the
attorney general to inform the house
whether any Investigation was ever had
and report made "of the so-called anthra
cite coal trust, consisting of the anthra
cite carrying railroads doing an Interstate
business." and If so to send the full report
of such Investigation to the house.
The other resolution requests the attor
ney general to Inform the house whether
any criminal prosecutions have been In
stituted against Individuals who were ad
Judged recently by the supreme court of
the United States In the Northern Securi
ties case to be guilty of having violated
the laws of the United States by entering
Into unlawful combination in restraint of
interstate commerce, and If so to send to
the house all papers, etc., In such cases.
Low Temperature nnd Filtplnws,
A temperature of eight points below fh?
freezing point, reported to the Insular bu
reau from St. Louis today, has given the
officials some concern for the welfsre and
comfort of the large number of Filipinos
living in the fair grounds there. However,
Dr. 'Wilson, In charge of the exhibit, haa
now provided plenty of warm clothing and
good housing for all of the Filipinos ex
cept the scouts. The latter are obliged to
live In tents, but a stove has been provided
for each tent and the management will
see to It that the men are required to do
as little outdoor service as possible during
the cold weather.
Go to Jefferson's Law.
The house committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce todsy took up all pend
ing bills for the government of the Panama
canal tone and disposed of the question by
striking from the senate bill all after the
enacting clause and Inserting with a few
slight orange the 'second'' section of the
act of 1808, of which Thomas Jefferson waa
the author, for the government of the ter
ritory acquired by the Louisiana purchase,
