the press, of' the state, that as a rule has
been loyal to public Interest, should give
It the encouragement of that great Influ
ence. "No measure of the TtlHd the senate has
passed will bring relief to the people which
has not the proper officers behind It to
enforce It. But these officers, with the
public sentiment which is behind the de
mand for relief can certainly be depended
upon to enforce the law to the letter.
"You will recall that the state depository
law was of no effect until the present treas
urer wer.t Into office and then he began to
enforce It. It will be the samehlng with
this commission, bill. The officers can en
force it if they desire, and I believe they
re the kind of men who will do Justice
to the people."
HOl'SE ACTS O.t COMMODITY BILL
Recommended for Passage After Loag
' Debate.
(Fram a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 22. (Special.) Aftar
the closing scenes of excitement -over the
commodity rate bill last evening the house
started off peacefully this morning by
adopting a resolution by Kalcy of Webster
felicitating- and thanking the lata Ne-.
braska corr.mlfcslon- to tho "World's fair for
Its splendid administration of affars and
Its economy in saving from tho appropria
tion I15.19ll.30.
Tucker of Douglas offered a petition to
pay the employes for slit, days a week.
The speaker raised the-point that such a
resolution, hail jmiiiie) ,.heei. defatted ..and
could- not be brought' up again- without a
two-thirds vote of the house. Speaker
Rouse had a statement from - the state,
auditor read, In which Mr. Searis handed
down an opinion holding that no such res
olution should be eiroactive, and If so he
Would decline to Issue warrants for pay
beforo the datd of euch a resolution.
McMullen of Gags sharply criticised the
action of the auditor in presuming to de
fine the course the house should pursue.
"I object to a statu official handing down
an opinion saying what this house should
or should not do."
After consuming much time the whole
matter was tabled on motion of Wilson of
Pawnee.
The house passed a motion by McAllister
of Deuel to hold night tesalona the re
mainder of thi week and a session Satur
day, by a vote of 48 to 32.
Foster of Douglas offered a motion to go
Into committee of the whole and resume
consideration of railroad bills. The speaker
opposed the motion, insisting on taking up
senate flies on first and second reading and
house rolls on third reading. The motion
was lost. Bills on first reading were then
taken up and H. Rs. 422 and 42.1, by McClay
of Lancaster, at request of the governor,
were read. They pertained to the regulation
of the school board and. cemeteries of Lin
coln. Many, senate flies were read.
Bills on third reading were then taken
up and these passed:
H. R. 237, by Casebeef of Gage Raising

H. R. $48, by the Insurance committee
Providing for a representative form of gov
ernment of fraternal insurance companies
on a basis of 85 per cent of the membership.
On motion of Foster of Douglas the house
then went Into committee of the whole and
resumed the consideration of railroad bills.
The commodity rate bill was taken up, : .
Dodge of Douglas pleaded with the house
to Include his railroad commission bill In
tho category of railroad measures..
McMullen of Gage, a friend of rate legis
lation, here offered an amendment to the
commodity bill to cut the percentage of de
crease 61 rates from 10 Id 7. :'?' ' V j
"While I . waa Impressed with the falr-..-88
of the 10, per cent proposition," aald
McMullen, "I. am of the opinion that per
haps, In order to Insure the passage of
the bill and Its power to tanrr-the test
of the courts, It would be pest to make
this reductl-it 7 instead of 10 per cent.
This legislature must enact a law to reg
ulate freight rates, but the more reason
able we are the more likely we are to be
fair to the corporations."
Wilson of Pawnee said In his Judgment
the argument of McMullen was proof that
the house did not know enough to. legis
late on railroad rates.
"A stab In the dark," was the term Wil
son applied to this bill. He arraigned it
as a "popular reform measure" and de
rided it by comparing the sentiment back
of it to the move of reform in the tariff
and money question and the "silver
craze." lie appealed . to the members to
bo "conservative" and not be "swept off
your feet by this Impulsive wave of re
form." Jones said "the people have asked bread;
are you going to give them a stone?" His
point was tha 7 per cent Idea was not
sufficient.
Barnes of Douglas expressed unqualified
opposition to' in, 7 or any other per cent
Of reduction and read some figures de
signed to support his argument.
Caldwell denied the common argument
that the legislature was not qualified to
fix rates. He insisted It was and should
proceed with this work. He was 'against
the 7 per cent amendment;
Windham here pointed out that It was
generally agreed 'tho Beef trust was rob
bing the people Then he aald, under the
national government "an Investigation of
the Beef trust It developed that the trust
waa not robbing tho people.-
"Have you any better evidence -against
the railroads than was had against the
Beef trust?" asked Windham.. .
Bums of Lancaster then', spoke against
the bill. Burna pretended to fight the bill
because of the McMullen amendment.
Yesterday, however, he opposed the 10 per
cent provision with equal demonstration.
Cassell of Otoe voiced the gfnfral senti
ment that the house waa Incapable of
passing on the rate question. But he pre
ferred' 7 to 10 per cent reduction in
rates. .'. . : . ' '
The McMullen amendment was lost.

legislative act ' regulating railroad rates.
He thought the problem must be solved
through a railroad ( commission. . He
favored rate revision, but not through this
bill.
Cunningham of Hamilton coincided with
Voter's sentiments,. saying It was the way
his constituents had Instructed him.
Douglaa of Rock said this debate had In
duced the statement that this house is
made up of two classes, those who were
determined to respond to the appeal of
the people for railroad rate revision and
another class who are bound hand and foot
by the railroads. He did not believe any
member waa bound by a railroad. Ha
thought the members who opposed the bill
were as sincere as those who favored it.
He appealed to the members not to feat
the criticisms of the newspapers which
were urging the enaction of railroad legis
lation. Independent action wr.s needed.
Douglas added:
"I want to quote one of the best lawyers
In the state, a student of the rate ques
tion and a leading populist, who says thi
commodity rate bill If passed would be
unconstitutional." He referred to M. F
Harrington. "If the members aupportlng this bill are
In earnest they wUl etop throwing sand la
the eyes pf the people and get In line on
one of these railroad comm'lsBlon bills,"
said Douglaa
He said the rate question was not of the
Importance ascribed to it and even Presi
dent Roosevelt had modified his stand
on- it ;
Jackson of Antelope followed. He opened
his remarks by denying a statement made
with reference to him of a personal nature
which appeared In a Lincoln paper.
Jackson said the earnings In Nebraska
of the Northwestern railroad were only 1
per cent on the Investment.
In answer to this Junkln of Gosper said
the morning market reports quoted the
Northwestern stock at 2.41, highest on the
market.
"Bo much has been said about having
Justice done," said Junkin, "that Is what
we want to do and whether you pass this
bill or not Justice will be done sooner or
lat;r. The people are aroused on this
question and you have got to face this
question."
On the motion to recommend the bill for
passage the vote stood 49 to 31
Dodge, Clarke, Tucker, Barnes and An
dersen of Douglas voted In the negative.
At 6:40 the house adjourned.
The house spent two hours tonight In
committee of the whole. Among the bills
recommended for passage were:
11. R. S48, by Lee To make the county
assessor of Douglas county ex-olficlo tax
commissioner of Omaha.
H. R. 278. by Clarke Prohibits the steal
ing of rides on railroad trains.

ROlTI.E SE5ATE PROCEEDINGS
Committee to Investigate Charges of
Doodling.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March 22. (Special.) In an
impassioned speech In which he declared
his lack of any knowledge that an attempt
had been made to raise 6,000 among Doug
las county officials to be spent in securing
the passage. ' through the senate of the
biennial election bill, the money to be
handled by a Douglas county senator, Gib
son of Douglas this morning demanded of
the 'senate that a committee be appointed
to Investigate the charge and report to the
senate. A half dozen senators moved a
second to the motion, and Saunders and
then Thomas made speeches for the in
vestigation. Thomas said both he and
Saunders were opposed to the bill and this
had been well known for some time. He
oould seer he' said, "why the' World-Herald1
desired the passage of the bill for the rea
son that at this time there are 175 or mora
deroocratle county officers who would hold
over another year under the bill, while If
It did not pass they would be supplanted
by republicans this fall. He said that
might have been the reason for the publica
tion of the story to force the Douglas dele
gation to--stand for the bill, though of
course he did not know.
The motion to appoint the committee car
ried almost unanimously and President Jen
nings appointed this committee: Dlmery of
Seward, Sheldon of Cass and Bresee of
Sheridan.
When Gibson made his motion Epperson
of Clay tried to .make light of the mattej
and moved an amendment that a commit
tee be appointed to go to Omaha and poi
son the editor'a dog, but Gibson was not In
favor of any levity, and a number of other
senator? thought, the paper should make
good on the story or stand branded as a
publisher of fabrications and falsehoods.
Jones of Otoe, previous to the Gibson mo
tion rushed out into the clear with a card
for personal privilege and read the edi
torial In The Dally Bee calling upon the
senate to clear itself of the charge or com
pel the newspaper to substantiate, its story.
Clearly missing the Import of the editorial
ho rushed into a denunciation of news
papers In general and wondered how long
the senate would have to stand for such
abuse. He then made a fierce speech
against appointing the investigating com
mittee. On motion of Gllllgan of Holt the sifting
committee was empowered to 'take charge
of the general file at noon today. A num
ber of amendments were offered to defer
the time when the committee should get
busy, but all were voted down. This com
mittee Is composed of Laverty, Thomas,
Wall, Jackson, Bresee, Epperson, Nellson
and Bsghtol. The committee was appointed
two weeks ago, but no attempt waa made
to put It to work until this morning.
The senate went on record thi morning
In favor of an anti-pass bill. Sheldon's
measure, 8. F. 240, was recommended for
third reading and passage, being taken up
from the general file and sent over the head
of the committee of the whole. That the
measure will pass there Is little doubt.
The bill provides that it Is unlawful for a
railroad company to give a pass to any
officer elected under the laws of the state
or constitution. The penalty Is a fine of
not less than Q nor more than 11,000 for
each offense.
The sifting committee made Its first re
port this afternoon, reporting back for the
general file seventeen bills. Among the
Important ones were:
H R 169 Giving the rights of eminent
domain to the university.
11 R. 135 Appropriating $32,000 for a li
brary building at tho Peru Normal school.
H. H. 80 Appropriating 136.000 for the
Norfolk asylum. .
During the proceedings today United
State Senator Millard came Into the
chamber. Tucker of Richardson moved the
senate take a recess for five minutes. This
was done and the members of the senate
were presented to Mr. Millard by Senator
Gibson.
Under a suspension of the rules, a res
olution by Cody waa adopted to requeet
the aupreme court for an opinion aa to -the
yalidlty of the biennial election bill.
H. R. 1K, known aa the anti-Christian
Science bill, passed the senate, receiving
only seventeen votes. Gibson explained his
vote by saying he did not believe It right
to thus take away the rights of a class
of people and concluded by saying: "And
for the further reason that I am not bound
by any trade to vote for the bill. I vote
no."
Meserve explained hi vote by saying to
pass tha bill probably would engender
more hard feelings, and tor the further
reason that all but two of hla constituents
who had written him were opposed to it
he voted no;
Late this afternoon In the committee of
i . - -
r
the whole 8. F. UK, creating the office of
county comptroller In Douglas county and
making him ex-offlclo city comptroller, waa
recommended for passage.

DOIXGS OF THE ' LEGISLATORS
County Officers Pnshlaa; the Biennial
Klectloa Bill. - v'
LINCOLN, March 22. - (Special.)-'
Whether there la anything in the tory
that an effort has been made to compel
the Douglas county" . officials to put-, up
$6,000 to secure the passage of tha biennial
election bill through the senate, the
upper branch of the legislature has yet to
find out, but the - senate members do
know that an organised effort Is being
made by officeholders to cause the pas
sage of the bhl. Petitions have been re
ceived from about thirty counties urging
the passage of the bill and the. .petitions
are identical, having been wiitteh. on the
same machine and are of the same form.
Whether the $6,000 waa to be used in keep
ing up the press bureau the senate com
mittee will likely discover before It finishes
its work.
According to Omaha members of the
house who fought the Fishback telephone
bill In committee of the 'whole yesterday,
if this bill Is enacted Into law It will force
upon Omaha another telephone system
whether Omaha wants It or not, being one
more departure from the cherished prin
ciple of local self-government.
The essential provision of this bill is
that any telephone company maintaining
the Only exchange In any city shall make
connection at the city'a limits with the
lines of any other company which may
se fit to construct Its lines there and de
mand this connection. For this connec
tion, forced against the Will of the old
company, the new concern agrees, at least
the bill which is,' drawn and promoted by
these "independept" concerns agrees to
pay 10 cents for each connection. '
Under this bill It' also was pointed out
the Lincoln Telephone company, the chief
promoter and beneficiary of the measure,
could demand admittance. Into any city
where the old company had the only ex
change, but on-the -other' hand would not
have to conneQ Jwtt'h another new con
ifern wanting entrance into Lincoln, be
cause the Lincoln f (Jphne company doea
not operate .tpe oply exchange In , Lin
coln. .: ""
- "'
Carl ' E. Herring, as attorney for . the
Omaha School board,, has deluged the leg
islature with written protests against the
Omaha charter bill. The essential point
made by Herring is that the consolidation
of the county and city treasury departments
would militate against the school board
interests. ,
Andersen of Douglas declares thi criti
cism unfounded. He insists that a the
county treasurer will be ex-officlo treasurer
of the city, so he will be for the school
board, one department of the city govern
ment. Andersen say Herring and the
school board simply want to defeat the bill.
Anderson said the bill would save the city
$40,009.
. The house and senate today appointed a
Joint committee to fix the date of adjourn
ment. Senatora Thomas, Shreck and Begh
tol and Representatives Burn, Davis and
Robert constitute the committee. The
committee held a meeting this morning and
decided to make no final decision In the
matter until Friday at least, in order to
see how much work the legislature would
have on hand at the end of this week.
There Is a desire and ft I quite general
to wind up affairs as soon a possible, by
the Slst if that can be done.

ment Get Together on Claims.
SURPRISED AT ACTION OF AMERICA
Raronean Allege that Agreement I
la Fall Aeeord with Washing
ton Protocol oa Sub
ject of Payment.
' LONDON, March 22. At the office of the
council of foreign bondholdera the Asso
ciated Press was Informed today that an
agreement between the Venesuelan govern
ment and the British and German bond
holders adjusting and consolidating the ex
terior debt, $28,600,000. v win be -signed to
morrow, the details having been concluded
to the satisfaction of both parties. 'It was
added that the guarantees comprise con
siderably more than 60 per cent of the
customs duties of all ports except La
Guayra and Puerto Cabello, but. the offi
cials declined to give the exact -figures.
Surprise was expressed at the dispatches
from Washington Intimating that the
American minister at Caracas, Mr. Bowen,
wa seeking to prevent the ratification of
the agreement which the counoli of for
eign bondholdera contends entirely in ac
cord with the Washington protocol. The
British and German foreign officers have
been consulted and agree that the bond
holders are entirely within their right
and the provisions of the protocol.
Foreign Bondholders Busy.
The council of foreign bondholders has
been working for a guaranteed payment
alnte the promulgation of the protocol,
first on a scheme which provided for a set
tlement of the Venezuelan Indebtedness to
all countries, but this plan was abandoned
by the withdrawal of the French last Oc
tober. Thereafter the British and Ger
man bondholder united and secured Pres
ident Castro' agreement to allocate a por
tion of. the revenues of La Guayra and
Puerto Cabello, to which Minister Bowen
objected. Blnce this frustration In Janu
ary the bondholders have been at work
on the present agreement which provides
for the Ibsus of new S per cent bonds to
cover the debt of the Anglo-German bond
holders, amounting, including arrears, to
about $28,600,000.
General Antonio VeluOnl, President Caa
tro's fiscal agent, acted in behalf of Venez
uela In the present negotiations, while
the council of foreign bondholders and the
Dlsconto-Geselschaft, respectively, repre
sented the British and German bondholers.
French Decision Postponed.
PARIS, March 22. The French Cable com
pany has received a further dispatch from
M. Brun, ,its representative at Caracas,
confirming the postponement of the deci
sion of the court relative to the company'
concession. He says the postponement
was sine die. The company' officials here
say the postponement resulted from the
representations of the French minister, C.
Wiener. It is said that the representations
point out that the company is a govern
mental concern and that an unfriendly at
titude toward it would amount to an un
friendly attitude toward the French gov
ernment. The company is reticent a to its future
attitude. Is still unadvised of any cutting
of cables and expresses a desire for an
amicable adjustment with President Cas
tro. ' Bowen Makes No Report.
WASHINGTON, March 22,-The State de
partment has heard nothing from Minister
Bowen to indicate that the Venesuelan gov
ernment haa 'made answer to his last propo
sition tti arbrtrate the American claim, and
it Is supposed that 'the' answer When If do
come will be b the effect that the Venezuer
lan government Insists on awaiting the final
action of its courts upon , the pending as
phalt case. It will then remain for the
State department to determine how long it
Is prepared to await this Judicial action.
Tha difficulty is that the Venezuelan gov
ernment had refused the application of the
asphalt company, supported by Minister
Bowen, to revert to the status existing be
fore the appointment of a receiver In the
asphalt esse and allow the company to re
possess Itself of Its property. As it is the
receiver is taking out large quantities of
asphalt from Bermudese lake, the proceeds
from which are going In the Venezuelan
treasury to the great financial loss of the
company, which Is making dally representa
tions on the subject to the State depart
ments The president is concluding arrangements
for his southwestern trip, on which he ex
pects to start Monday, April t, and no ap
prehension exists that the trip will be
either abandoned or postponed on account
of the Venezuelan embrogllo. The presi
dent expects, In his absence from Wash
ington, ' to keep In close touch with the
situation as it may develop and will be tn
position constantly to issue such instruc
tions from his train as may be necessary.
Senator Cullom, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, and Senator Lodge,
a member of that committee, discussed the
Venezuelan situation with the president to
day. It Is the belief her in well informed
quarters that, although the Italian war
ship Calabria is' making a cruise around
the world and stopped Incidentally In Do
minican waters, the situation In Venezuela
will cause the Rome government to. detain
the ship in Carrlbean waters for the pres
ent, ready to deal with an emergency.

IOWA CITY, March 22.-(Speclal Tele
