Effort to Let Bank Out of Paying
Interest Falls. ' . '
(From a Staff Correspondent..)- -
LINCOLN, March 27.-(Speclal.)-in H.
IX. 293, which the senate Indefinitely post
poned upon the .recommendation of the
standing committee, waa a, cleverly con
cealed colored gentleman In the wood pile
which would have done business in Ne
braska during the next two years to the
loss of the various counties of the state.
The bill repealed that section of the stat
utes which required 2 per cent Interest
to be paid on deposits made bv county
treasurers. The title of the bill reads.
"A bill for an act to amend section 10870
of chapter 19 of Cobbey's annotated stat
utes, of Nebraska for 1908 and to -repeal
said original sections." '
The body of the bill then re-enacts sec
tion 10872 of the same statutes relating to
bonds to be given by the bankers with this
addition: "provided that no bond shall "be
accepted unless the sureties Signing the
same, other than the sureties ?"who are
connected with the bank aa offlfers and
stockholders, are responsible In the
amount of the bond."
Section 10870 provide that banks shall
pay 2 per cent Interest on county deposits,
and says nothing of the bond matter
which Is amended In the bljl. This sec
tion would have been repealed hud the
bill bttcome a law.
Superintendent McUrlen sent this com
munication to the senate toduy:
Permit me to say a few words rela
tive to the appropriation that should
be made by the jireaent session of the leg
islature for the maintenance of the Junior
normal schools. The last session of the
legislature appropriated I12.OU0. During the
past biennlum this department has ex
pended all that amount and In addition
thereto t6.177.67, which was contributed by
the iatrlotlc people of Alliance, Hold
rege, McCook, North Platte, and Valentine,
amt the counties In the territory of these
Junior normal schools. In addition to
these donations these towns placed at
the disposal of the state their school
buildings and grounds, books, and ap
paratus, which In the - aggregate repre
sent over 1100,000 In school property. I
maintain that It la unjust to ask any
more of the people of these towns than
the free use of their school buildings,
books, etc. The donaUon by them of over
K.OUU Is too great a burden and is more
than comes back to them in dollars and
cents.
A word as to what the schools actually
did during the past two years. Over l,5o0
different teachers and students enrolled in
the five schools. A new world was opened
to hundreds of teachers and prospective
teachers In these western counties. Many
county superintendents have testified to
the better work accomplished in their
schools ns a result of the training re
ceived at these Junior normal schools.
The hearty support given to these schools
by the teachers, the liberal patronage
and generous donations from every city
where a Junior normal was located, the
excellent service rendered the state by
the principals and instructors, make a
record full of credit and honor. "The state
never received so much good from any
.appropriation of S12,0u0 It has ever appro
priated as that appropriated for these
schools.
There la still an Imperative need for
these schools. They mean better teachers
for these western counties. Hetter teach
ers mean belter schools. Therefore. In
behalf of the people of these western
counties I appeal to you to make the ap-
rroprlatlon for these schools at least
l&.Ouu, as it passed the house.
The action of the supreme court at Its
last sitting In overruling a motion for
a re-hearing made by the Boyd county
settlers in that famous rase may have
some bearing on the fate of 8. F. 18T,
now pending In the houae, which grants
the right to the settlers to buy the land
at not less than 17 an acre. The decision
of the court In refusing a re-hearlng of the
case la a second decision of the court up
holding tbe position of ex-Land Commis
sioner Follmer that the state owns the
1nd and that the settlers have no right
to It. The land is worth from 130 to 160
an acre.
PREPARING F0R "PARSIFAL"
Stage at Aedltorlnm is arly Ready
to Receive the Scenery
for the Opera.
The Auditorium seems to be coming Into
Its own. At least It is now faintly appro.
Imatlng the Internal appearance which Its
builders saw In fancy when they started
the work. The artists were busy yesterday
draping green hangings with golden fringes
over the front of the balcony. Shields and
other devices will be added. The electric
lights over the boxes are being equipped
with red shades and the boxes themselves
are being covered with green burlap. The
stage opening no longer looks like the crea
tton during the third day, but resembles
very much a regulation stage. The heavy
gold-trimmed red curtains sent on from the
Metropolitan opera house in New York have
been put up. The wall of the stage eepa
ratlng the wings from the house has been
covered In with brown cloth, which will be
backed with heavier material.
The stage Itself consists mostly of rope.
There Is now In place 3,000 feet of manlla
rope capable of handling sixty pieces of
scenery. The ordinary equipment of a well
staged musical comedy is about thirty-five
pieces. In the rigging loft which has been
built to the steel girders close under the
roof and the fly gallery high at each side
are 800 pulleys necessnry for handling the
heavy scenery. The panoramas work over
two barrels, which will arrive the morning
of the production. Thirteen dressing rooms
have been arranged at the back of the stage
and In the basement room below are the
robing places for the chorus people, the
supers and the lesser principals. Manager
Olllan la making a particular attempt to
satisfy the people In the matter of fire pro
tection. There Is being placed a hydrant In
the basement under the stage and two stand
pipes will be connected on. one coming up
at each side of the stage. To each of these
will be attached a fire hose and nose!, with
a fireman holding It ready for the fire to
begin.
The entire preliminary work on the Mage
will be finished Tuesday evening, so that
when the scenery arrives Wednesday morn
ing It can be placed at once Just as It would
be In the regular theaters.

the stock as the winter before, when the
loss was from 60 to 60 per cent.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Mr. Tawson,
the American minister at Santo Domingo,
has cabled the State department to the
effect that the Dominican government has
before It for consideration several plans
for the satisfaction of the claims of for
eigners and, to tide over the hiatus caused
by the failure of the senate to act on
the Dominican treaty, the Dominican gov
ernment has to Install foreign agents
In the customs houses to collect revenues,
45 per cent of which are to be applied to
the maintenance of the government and
the remaining 65 per cent to be placed
on deposit, subject to disbursement, among
the foreign creditors In the future after
the senate has had an opportunity to again
consider the treaty. This proposition was
the subject of a conference at the White
House today between the president. Sec
retary Taft, Senator Lodge, Senator
Spooner and Acting Secretary Adee, but It
was stated that no conclusion has yet
been reached. It Is not quite clear, from
Minister Dawson's dispatch, Just what part
he has played In bringing about this agree
ment, but It Is gathered that It has not
yet been consummated, and It Is certain
that he has not signed any formal under
taking binding his government. It Is
probable that further Information will be
required as to the details of the agree
ment before it Is approved here.
Mr. Dawson's cablegram seemed to In
dicate to the mind of the officials here that
the proposed arrangement for the collec
tion of customs revenues by a foreign fiscal
agent would apply only to the ports of
Dominica not covered by the arbitral award
In the case of the San Domingo Improve
ment company, namely Puerto Plata, Monte
Crlstl, Sanches and Samans. The min
ister's report was to the effect that two
of the foreign creditor governments have
not yet formally signified their willingness
to enter -into the agreement though their
agents and charges have" done so. The
San Domingo Improvement company's rep
resentatives have declined to express any
opinion as to the acceptability of the agree
ment, though this may be because they
do not feel thai the company's interests
are involved, their ports being excepted.
It was said at the close of the day that the
point now at Issue was whether or not the
president may legally designate a fiscal
agent to collect these Island revenues and
the decision on that point is expected
within a day or two.
Cralser to Take Body Home.
In compliance with the request from the
Mexican government, forwarded through
the State department, the War department
has ordered that full military honors be
paid to the memory of Senor Asplroz, the
late Mexican ambassador, on the occasion
of the obsequies over the remains In this
city tomorrow.
Orders were issued today by General
Chaffee, chief of staff, for participation of
United States troops in the funeral cere
monies. The State department waa for
mally advised today that the Mexican gov
ernment gratefully accepted the offer of the
United States to send the ambassador's
remains to Mexico on a United States warship.
The cruiser Columbia, which has been se
lected as the ..vessel which will 'convey
the remains of the late Mexican ambassa
dor to Vera Crux, was today ordered to
proceed from Guantanamo to New York,
where it will coal and be properly equip
ped for the accommodation of the party
which will accompany the body to Mex
ico.
Election In the Philippines.
Secretary Taft today notified President
Roosevelt that the census of the Philip
pines had ben completed and published,
and under the law of July 1, 1902, two
years from this date, the pusident shall
direct the Philippine commission to call a
general election for the choice of delegates
to a popular assembly. All legislative
power In the islands will thereafter Le
vested in a legislature consisting of two
houses, the Philippine commission and the
Philippine assembly. The conditions on
which the election Is to be called Is that
complete peace shall have continued In the
territory of the islands not occupied by
Moros or other non-Christian tribes. The
popular election is not to extend to the
Moro tribes. Two resident commissioners
to the United States will be elected when
a legislature la chosen.
Dills Goes to Canal Zone.
The cruiser Dixie has left Monte Crlsti
for Colon to take a battalion of marines
stationed on the isthmus to the new naval
station at Guantanamo. After the de
parture of this battalion the total strength
of the marine battalion left on the isthmus
will not number more than 10Q. This action
was taken by the Navy department on ac
count of the unhealthy climate that pre
vails on the Isthmus, and furthermore that
the 100 men la regarded as a sufficiently
strong force to maintain order.

DICKEY IS ACCUSED OF LIBEL
Elevator Manaerer at Bennington on
Trial Before Jnstlce
Altatadt.
The little town of Bennington Is all agog
with excitement and public feeling' is tun
ning high against Peter M. Dickey, elevator
manager at that place. It Is on account of
an attempt made to dishonor the name of
Mrs. Jeannette Stack, wife of Dr. Thomas
E. Stack, and a highly esteemed social
leader of Bennington. Ten days ago Dr.
Stack received an anonymous letter accus
ing his wit, of Improper conduct. Dickey
Is suspected of writing the letter and he
was charged by Dr. Stack with criminal
libel.
Dickey was brought to trial Monday In
Justlco Alstadt's court In this city, A dozen
or more citizens of Bennington were present
to testify in the case. Naturally the most
Interesting piece of evidence was the letter.
Evidence was Introduced by Frank Shot
well, attorney for the state, to show the
authorship of the letter. Witnesses testified
that Dickey had acquainted them with the
fact that such a missive had been received
by Dr. Stack; that he, Dickey, was BUspected
of writing It, and that he was Innocent.
This happened before Dr. Stack had said
anything to anyone about having received
the letter. Several specimens of the chlro
graphy of Dickey were introduced as evi
dence and compared with the anonymous
writing.
Testimony was made to the effect that on
several occasions in the last six weeks ac
cusations against Mrs. Stack similar to
those In the letter had been made by Dickey
to his acquaintances.
Dr. and Mrs. Stack stand very high in the
estimation of the people of Bennington. The
majority of the citizens of the town are In
a state of Intense Indignation.
The trial occupied most of the day Mon
day. Dickey was bound over to the dis
trict court and his bond fixed at 300.
