ANTI-FOOT BALL UILL.IS KILLED
'Diversity Students Cheer Announce-
' 'r' ment of Result..
r ' (From a Sts'ff Correspondent.)
' LINCOLN, Feb. .-(Speclal.)-The house
today refused to say that the game of foot
ball shall never again be played in Ne
braska by voting for ' Indefinite postpone
ment of the Cunningham bill, after a per
sistent fight lasting a couple of hours. The
vqte, however, by which the house In com
mittee of the whole disposed of the bill,
was so close as to cause uncomfortable
feelings to 'the advocates of the game. The
vote was 7 to 42. .' Lobblea'.and galleries
were; thronrfed 'durlng the course of this de
bats. University, .students ; r.ial and
mole, were anxious spectators, and when
tha Victory was won they set up a roar of
applause. ,'...
A little blase of oratory, arose In ths
house soon after it convened this morning
when the railroad committee reported Bow
man's railroad demurrage bill for Indefinite
postponement. Bowman sought to have ths
bill lifted from the committee's report.
Roberts of Dodge, chairman of the commit
tee, 'informed the house that Bowman had
had ample opportunity to appear-before the
committee and defend his. bill, but had
failed to taka advantage of such opportunl
tissv The house then adopted ths committee re
port. ; ,
' Ths house then on roll call adopted a mo
tion by Windham of Cass that when the
house adjourn it be at noen Friday until
Monday at 3 p. m. The vote stood 66 to 21.
Ths house, adopted, also by roll call and a
vote of 64 ts 0, a resolution offered by Wind
ham charging that the World-Herald had
discredited the motives of Speaker Rouse in
tho appointment, of the committee to draft
the freight, rata bill, and demanding that
the paper etract the statement and ths
reporter confine himself to facts under
penalty of expulsion from ths house.
These bills were passed:

attracted mucn attention In ths committee
of ths Whola la ths afternoon. Thla Is ths
bill to prohibit foot ball playing, Imposing
ultimately a penitentiary sentence a a
penalty. ' Cunningham, stoutly defended his
bill as being a means to protect life and
limb. In" Nebraska. He aaid foot ball was
brutal and - dangerous and often served
tt divert students' attention from their
school' 4ort.' Ha read, an article from
President Eliot of Harvard, condemning
ths gam and another protest from a Chi
cago man whose son was killed by foot
ball. V - '
Windham of Cass also defended the bill.

He declared foot ball to be a brutal com
bat, exciting ths Sams brUttnb'-paslons and
Instincts as did , the old coWbats of the
Roman gladiators. ' He asserted? that col
lege students and high school Tnlplls who
dovote themselves to footbalt are poorer
students than thoss who' do. net engage
habitually In this Sport. .'
Warner of Lancaster offered an amend
ment to Include basket ball, croklnole,
croquet and other such games. ' The house
then was treated, to a discussion. Illus
trated by objact lessons on tb subject of
broad shouldeVs and good lungs fend how
they might bs obtained. '
The amendment was lost. ".
An amendment by Kyd of Gkge to apply
the bill only to children over 1' was lost
McAllister begged the house to treat the
bill seriously, for It pertained to human
life, which wu too precious to be trifled
wUh. He said be believed Chancellor An
drews made a "great mistake" In encourag
ing toot ball. He said the student who
went to tho Nebraska university to play
foot ball had better go Somewhere else. He
thought this was a poor means of adver
tising the university..
Douglas was for thA bill. He said: "We
send our boys . to universities to become
scholars and not gladiators."
Junkln of Gosper drew a vivid picture
of a foot ball gams, with the players forti
fied by various mechanical devices to save
their several organs from destruction.
Wilson of Pawnee regarded the bill as an
attempt to infringe on personal liberty and
pleaded for the Indefinite postponement of
the bill. . ' . fc
Horton of Keys Paha spoke for the bill,
lie urged ths game of foot Call waa a
brutal pastime and could be mads nothing
else. ...
After a couple of hCur.r debate the com
mittee of the whola voted down tha motion
to recommend the bill for passage by $7 to
43. The bill then was recommended, for In
definite postponement, and cheers arose
from a bevy of university students In ths
lobbies.
At 4:15 the house adjourned.
These bills were Introduced:

Sheldon. Williams4 and Ollllgan turned
looae their batteries, with the result ss

argued that to enact such a measure would
ba to take from the revenue law Its great
est force and best feature. Thooe In favor
of the messure argued that the people

cinct assessors. It would prevent the
building up of a political machine they
claimed. Ths result - lo the republican
party, whether the bill was defeated or
passed, was discussed at length.
Following this Came a lengthy discussion
of Sheldon's bill to mske a 2-mllI levy for

REPORTS OX STATE IXSTITITIOX9
Honse Committee Makes Becommen
datlons for Appropriations.
(From a "Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Feb. . (Special Telegram.)
The house committee on public lands and
buildings has finished ita Junketing trips,
complied its data and will submit Its re
port, possibly, today. The report in full
follows:
Tour Committee on Public Lands and
Bulldinas hands you herewith a Dartlal re
port, covering the Institutions they have
visited. This report will be supplemented
with a second report covering tho remain
ing Institutions as soon as we get a chance
to visit them.
We beg to state that we have made- our
recommendations, having In mind the fact
tnat tne state nnanciai condition mnkes it
necessary to practice economy in the ap
propriations and we havo refrnined from
making recommendations that we did not
consider necessary for the nroner conduct
01 tne airrerent institutions:
Home tor ths Friendless, Lincoln.
We recommend the appropriation of $3,000
for Improvements and repairs, provided no
change is made in the location ot the In
stitute. Your committee found the different parts
of this Institute In perfect order, the wants
or the Inmates careruliy looked alter and
have no criticisms to offer.
It was suggested by the superintendent
that If there was a little land connected
with an Institution of this kind so they
could raise some of their own vegetables,
It would enable them to c-onsiderably econo
mise in the conduct of the institution and
add to the comfort of the Inmates.
State Penitentiary, Lincoln.
Tour committee recommends that the ap
propriation asked for by the warden. $10,300
ror aaamon&i equipment, engine, ooners,
motors, repairs, etc., be allowed.
We would also recommend that the peni
tentiary lands outside of Lancaster county
be sold and the proceeds ot same be In
vested In lands close to the penitentiary,
provided that such lands can be purchased
at a reasonable Drtce.
The warden suRgests that the roof over
tha east cell bulldlna. which Is of Inflamma
hie material, should be replaced by a fire
proof roof, the investment In cells being
Jeopardized by the danger of the roof fall
ing In, in esse of fire, which would destroy
the new celln.
We are satisfied that the warden la con
ducting the affairs of this Institution In a
very economical and satisfactory manner.
State Farm.
We recommend an appropriation for a
water supply, heating apparatus and equip
ment in the shape of electrio machinery,
etc., for the supplying of light and power.
Tour committee were unable to report from
the estimates presented the cost of these
different items and hence make their rec
ommendations In this form.
A woman's building, additional land, a
sewer system, house for swine, charge ot
veterinary science building, cottage for
employes, etc., are desired by the director,
but we did not consider this required rec
ommendation at our hands. We feel that
this Institution should be encouraged In
every way consistent with our ability,
without working an Injustice on other in
stltutlons, which it is Incumbent on us to
provide for.
.. Asylum for Insane at Lincoln,
We recommend an appropriation as fol
lows: General repalra $ 6,000
Electrrc Irona and sewing machine at
tachments 3,000
Repairs for laundry.. 1,000
New boilers r 8,000
Total '. $13,000
Tour committee commends the superin
tendent of this Institution, which Is found
In excellent shape throughout.
Asylnm (or Insane, Norfolk.
We recommend an appropriation of $36,000
for repairing old wing and putting the
grounds in shape, making tunnels, repairing
boilers and making other necessary re
pslrs. Your committee feels that the cottage
constructed under the supervision of the
state architect during the last blennlum,
now nearing completion, were .being fur
nished In a manner to call for a maximum
expense, especially the administration build,
ing and that a great economy could have
been practiced without any deterioration to
the buildings.
We would also suggest that the employ
ment of a bookkeeper at Norfolk, with the
present capacity of the Institution, should
be dispensed with, as we consider such an'
officer unnecessary, as the steward should
perform the duties of that office.
Soldiers' Home, Grand Island.
We recommend an appropriation of $10,000
for general repairs, Including repairs or
additions necessary to cowbarn, painting,
standplpe, etc.
The management Is desirous of having a
new administration cottage and some addi
tions to the hospitals.
This Institution Is badly crowded, a great
many of the Inmates being In a more or
less helpless condition, and we felt that
tha management waa doing everything pos
sible for the comfort of the Inmates, con
sidering the crowded condition.
Industrial School for Roys, Kearney.
Your committee recommends an appro
priation of $1,600 for Increase In trade de
partment, $S.000 for boilers, dynamos and
general repairs; total, $9,000.
We were Impressed with the policy of the
superintendent of this Institution In trying
tn Impress on the Inmates' that the Insltu
tlon was an educational rather than a penal
establishment. The policy Is to create In
the inmstes self-respect and the system
adopted gives them every encouragement to
mske themselves trusted snd respected by
others. Their records show that they are
succeeding slong those lines and making
frood elttsens out of whst were considered
ncorrlglhle youths.
Asylans taf Insane, Hastings.
Wo recommend appropriations as follows-
New dynamos $ I (06
Two new boilers j q,
Ono new greenhouse liuQ
Improving grounds, curbing, planting
trees, etc gnn
Two Are escapes 1
Total ...jlVSoO
Your committee found this Institution also
In excellent condition, everything possible
leerned to be done for the comfort of the
Inmates snd the system adopted when pos
sible of having a dining room In each ward
for tie use ol its Inmates seems to have a
soothing effect on them, besides making it
possible to serve the meals warm, on ac
count of the shorter time necessary In set
ting tables and distributing food. 1
We feel that the fourth physician asked
for Is not necessary, as those now on tha
payroll ought to be sble to look after the
number of patients the Institution Is capa
ble of carina; for.
In all tha Institutions ws visited ws
found sll the officers of ths institutions liv
ing In the administrative departments st
the expense of the state. In moat cases It
Is necaaaary that the officers live In the in
stltutlons. but there are sums offlcera, such
as stewards, bookkeepers, farai superin
tendents, etc.. Cf various Institutions that
could live outside the state bulldlns; snd
Perform their duties duruig regular office
pours, leavlna additional room and etreei
Irg a saving to the state, as your committee
feels that the salaries paid such officials
are high enough to enable them to pay
rouse rent and living expenses.
Feeble-Mladed Institution. Beatrice,
We recommend an appropriation as fol
lows:
Repairs and Improvement W
Cold storage 1.0"0
isew boiler , i.wu
Total ....$S.W0
Your committee feels that -this Institution
is especially well uondunted bv the super
Intendent. Mr. Johnson, and his admlnlstra-
tion of affairs the tnnat economical of any
Institution We visited. The service of a
stewsrd has been tttspensed with, the super
intendent assamlne-tha fnitlen In addition
to his own, which, considering the nature
or me inmates, ar not light.
A new building Is desired by the manage
ment and we siskrest thst If any new
buildings are appropriated for that the
""us 01 tnis institution nave careiui con
sideration, as It Is necessary to separate
the Inmates shd exercise constant vigil
ance over tnem. .
State Normal Sehnol, Pera.
We recommend Snnrnrirlatlon as follows:
Repairs and .Improvements $o,0J
Addition to hfating plant, boiler, tun
nel and fixtures , 2,5 0
Pumping plant ..'. 2.&0J
Total '.,..$10,000
We were Impressed with the excellent

At present It is cramped far room, but the
new building will soon be available, which
win lumrwnii relieve, tne present con
rested condition: ' . ',
Ths library building in use how Is a frame
structure and a fireproof -building .Is de
sired by the board and faculty. Consider
ing the vefy val uable contents of ths
building, (t Is unsafe tor that purpose, and
would be valuable, as a Class room when
a new 'library building Is constructed.
In the bolter house at Peru the shovel
pian ot nring tne boilers Is adopted, and
your committee feels that It- Is much more
economical than the self-stokers used by a
great many of the other institutions and
would recommend that the shovel plan of
firing be adopted at all the institutions as
soon ts the change could be conveniently
made.

They Have Beea
Ile.
BERLIN, Feb. 9. Press dispatches from

Another collision occurred at the Nlfka
mine, where It la rumored 150 persons were
killed. A third collision occurred yester
day forenoon near Mllovlce, but this affair
was bloodless.
It was feared that numerous outbreaks
would take place last night In various
parta of the strike district of Russian Po
land, since strikers were gathering In
groups, gesticulating and tulklng In a
threatening manner.
Situation Critical at I.ods.
LODZ, Feb. 9-At the Coates thread
mills and many other establishments the
strikers were today paid three days' wages
as an advance, although It was claimed
that nothing was legally due thorn. The
managers of Helntzel's mill refused to pay
anything and the workmen threatened to
wreck the place. The military prepared
to fire and for a moment the situation was
extremely grave, but the management fin
ally yielded and agreed to pay, provided
the men promised to return to work on
Monday. Another manager refused pay
ment to the strikers, but at the point of
a revolver was compelled to promise pay
ment tomorrow. Employers are paying
only aa a method of expediency. The manu
facturers were In conference all day and
had frequent conferences with the gover
nor general. There were serious disturb
ances today at Bapiance. The troops fired
on the men, killing one and wounding two.

The men In two more factories, one of
which is a small concern, employing only
300 hands, ceased Work yesterday and more
of the employes of tha Putloff Iron works
Joined the strikers. The renewal of the
strike haa, however, not vet gained a
threatening formation. Though somewhat
restive, the strikers are not showing a
troublesome disposition. At the Putloff
works about one-third of the force are
said to have quit work at the expiration
of the eight hours' shift, quietly laying
down their tools and walking out. Two
battalions of troops are stationed at the
works, but there haa not been the slight-
it disorder.
Four other establishment are still at
work, but rumors of a strike with which
the air was filled yesterday, are positively
denied. Ths manufacturers were aaaln In
session yesterday, but came to no definite
conclusions In regard to the questions in
dispute.
Concessions of strike pay will be made,
but the extent of this allowance is not
being decided.
