V.UCA. BulIdiMi, Corner Slxtetntk and Douglas Stmt
those of this clos who spoke were In the
minority, and as a whole it won a great
nieht for the weary old newspaper man.
Employing about all the adjectives in the
language which lent any aid toward vltu-
Deration and denunciation, Jones 14 Otoe,
a member of tho senate, easily came off
with the laurel crown. Jones had taken
the paina of committing hia splenetic utter
ances to writing while his temper evidently
was at white heat, and as he upturned his
vials of wrath their corrosive and feverish
.contents poured forth with as much flu
ency aa reflned diction does from the lips
of a real orator. Jones had prepared this
assault to be read to the senate during Its
dying agonies, but having been offered the
courtesy of speaking to the house, of
which he was a member two years ago, he
voluntarily gave it and Its visitors the, ben
efit of his pent-up feelings.
Following Jones came that eminent po
litical reformer, Joe Burns of Lancaster,
'with hla contribution to the general tirade
on the press. Burns conceived himself to
have been, the special target of newspaper
criticism and he lambasted the air for
several minutes In defending hia fair nam
against such cruel and unjust attacks.
Then Clarke of Douglaa, much to the sur
prise of certain ones, yielded to the tempt
ation of the hour to descend. to this level.
Perry of Furnas, In his speech, said he
had never felt so small and insignificant
aa when these gontlemen were telling how
the press of the state had assailed them.
"I have never even been considered Im
portant enough," he said, "to be ap
proached by one of those animals they call
lobbyists' and consequently have never
been assaulted by the newspapers. I have
felt that the newspapers of this state were
extremely patient, forbearing and generoua
in their attitude toward this legislature,
and I can assure you that it I had been
editor of one of these papers somebody
would have felt more severe criticism than
they have. I conceive It to be the function
and right of a newspaper to criticise a pub
lic official, and for my part I 'do not fear,
In the light of my record, which I know to
be the best that I could make, what the
papers may say of me."
, "I cannot tig re with what some of my
colleagues have said regarding tne news
papers," asserted Windham of Casa when
called on for a speoch. "I think we should
bear In mind the fallibility of human na
ture and realize that we all must err."
' Lee of Douglaa made a very ,happy talk,
taking occasion to refer to the congenial
relations which hnd existed between the
.machine and antl-machlne. members from
Omaha.
As announced In The Bee yesterday morn
ing the report of the Investigating com
mittee appointed by the senate to look Into
the $5,000 boodle story published In the
World-Herald, which Implicated the Doug
laa county senators, completely exonerated

The article referred to was published
In the World-Herald March 22, 1906, and is
follows
"Details of the $5,000 attempted legisla
tive holdup to secure the passage of the
extended-tenure-of-olMce bill, are slowly
leaking out, and It Is stated that the situa
tion will force the senate to make a rigid
investigation of the matter, to tlx the re
sponsibility where it belongs.
"It has developed that the plans were all
mapped out, and that the boodle fund was
to be placed In the hands of a certain Doug
las county official, who is now serving
his first term, and to be held until the
bill was passed. Then the money was to
be given to a subordinate in the office of
the same official, who was to act as the go
between, and by him turned over to a cer
tain senator from Douglas county.
This county official has been active in
circulating among the other officials of
this county with reference to raising the
money, and the subordinate has also held
several conferences with the officials to
present the exigencies of the situation.
"Douglas county officials have been as
sured that there was no possibility of hav
ing the bill reported by the senate com
mittee unless the boodle fund was raised
as directed, and it was argued to them
that Inasmuch as the bill abolishing the
odd-year elections would save at least $50,000
to the state, It was worth at least a little
measly $5,000 to have It passed. , -
"That the matter Is not confined to Doug
las county Is also known, and officials of
Oage and Lancaster counties have been
directed from some Inside source to com
municate with the aforesaid official of
Douglas county, who had been seleoted
as stakeholder. In response to this direc
tion the treasurer of Oage county came
here the last of the week to call on this
official, and find out what waa In the wind.
"It is conceded on all sides that it Is
about the coldest 'shake down' that has
been attempted In legislative matters for
some time, and It has brought out the fact
that a slmllur holdup was attempted at
the time the Shreck bill was under con
sideration. The personal representative
of the same senator, who is primarily Im
plicated in this deal, went to the attorney
for the brewers and made a demand for
$4,000, stating that unless the amount was
forthcoming a favorable report would be
made on the new local option bill, which
was designed to make prohibition territory
of several counties that now have saloons.
The names of two senators were given who
would make this report unless the money
was jald.
"It la now reported that a touch' has
also been attempted with reference to the
Omaha charter provisions regarding paving
specifications, but the details of the demand
have not yet been given out. '
"Enough has developed to show that a
strong game is being played in certain
senatorial quarters, and the boldness of
the attempted holdup has occasioned So
much talk and feeling that it is regarded
as Inevitable that the senate will perforce
prder an Investigation In order that all
the facts may be fully developed, so that
the odium for the attempted holdup will be
placed squarely where it belongs. Instead
of reflecting as It does now on the whole
legislative body."
Your committee has made diligent Inquiry
from all those whom it had any reason to
believe were In p ssesslon ot any facts or
knowledge pertaining to this' matter. We
have endeavored to ascertain the facts and
the truth without fear or favor.
Mr. B. C. Hunt, a reporter on the World
Herald, wrote the article. We procured
from him under oath all the Information
he would divulge. We also examined under
oath all persons whom we believed had any
knowledge or Information concerning the
matter under Investigation. We also made
Inquiry of various county offlolals over the
state, but received no Information of any
consequence from any of them except the
oounty offlolals of Douglaa county.
The committee held a hearing at Omaha
on Saturday, March 26, at which time the
official of Douglas county were called
upon to testify. Another hearing was held
at the Lindell hotel In Lincoln on the
evening of March 27. at which time and
place other witnesses were called before
the committee.
The evidence taken by the committee dis
closes the fact that there was an attempt
made on the part of eome county officials
of Douglaa county to raise a fund which
was to be used In their behalf for the pur
pose of lobbying In the interest of the bi
ennial election bill. However,- no money
was raised.
The evidence before the committee shows
that the attempt to raise such a fund orig
inated In the city of Omaha, and la all
traceable to some county officials of Doug
las county, more particularly to Mr. Fink
and his employe, J. H. Wlnapear. Mr. Wln
spenr seems to have taken the Initiative.
The evidence taken as a whole will not
substantiate the charge that a "certain
senator" or any senator, had anything
whatever to do In connection with the at
tempt to raise any such fund. Neither does
the evidence disclose that any senator was
connected, either directly or indirectly,
with the raining of or the distribution of
any ruc-h fund.
So far as your committee has been able
to ascertain there has not been any attempt
made by uny member of the aenate to sell
his vote or Influence to any person what
soever. Wa were not able to And that any
person had ever attempted to bribe any
senator with reference to this matter nor
do we believe that any senator ever Inti
mated that be might ba bribed.
The testimony of Mr. Abbott discloses
the fact that certain county officials con
tributed sros.il sums in order to procure his
services as an attorney to present the legal
questions to the legislative committee tht
might have under consideration the biennial
election bill. This fund, however, has no
connection with the one under Investigation.
The cummlttee also undertook to ascertain
w lift tier there was any truth in the state
ment made In the World-Herald article
that an attempt had been made by a per
sonal representative of a snater to "bold
up" the brewers In connection with the
Bhreck local option bill. Mr. Hunt refused
to give the name of the party from whom
he received hla information on which he
based this rart of the article.
that Mr. Parlxh. an attorney
era. might know something stoat It. Mr.
I'arlsa was called and such otitar witnesses
aa the committee thought might know
something about the matter, were called be
fore the committee. The committee was
not able to find any evident- tnat would
warrant the assumption that there waa
anything In this charge.
Your committee further finds that no
one other than K. C. Hunt, a reporter on
the World-Herald, is In any wise respon
sible for the appearance of the utterances
In the World-Herald In this matter under
Investigation: but that he alone Is pri
marily responsible fur the article aa It ap
peared. AM of the testimony taken before the
committee is herewith reMpectfully sub
mitted. The committee recommend that
this testimony be made a part of the sen
ate record and that It be Published In. the
senate Journal. All of which Is respectfully
suummea.

MEWBER'S VIEW OF THE SESSION
Representative Windham Slses l p the
Legislature.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 1. (Special.) fpon
the personnel and products of the Twenty
ninth session of the Nebraska legislature
Representative R. B. Windham of Cass
county, a leader In the house, has this to
aay:
"Judging from quite an Intimate knowl
edge of our legislative bodies for the past
twenty-five years, In a number of which I
have had the honor to serve, the Twenty
ninth session, In point of character and
ability, averages up to the best. My per
eonal acquaintance with each of tho mem
bers convinces me that a more conscientious
body of men, taken as a whole, never con
vened in these halls. They have doubtless
exercised as much Independence In passing
upon measures aa previous legislators.
It Is true there has not been so much
demonstration and excitement as In some
of tho prior sessions, but this is accounted
for largely by the overwhelming majority
of the dominant party, making things from
partisan and political standpoint too one
aided to create much unusual interest.
"In the matter of legislation, while there
havo been a few measures that have at
tracted more than ordinary attention, the
work has been along the lines of former
sessions, in the passing of amendatory acts
and the creation of some new laws, the
merits of which will be more fully under
stood when the tame have been applied,
and I believe the work In these respects
will prove as fully meritorious aa that of
former legislative bodies. The proposed
primary law was the first prominent meas-
re to claim the attention of this body.
When first presented and before being given
serious consideration it met with general
pproval by the members, but later on.
when more fully digested, the opposition
became almost general, numerous reasons
being given, the principal opposition, how
ever, coming from the rural districts. It
was claimed that It would give the cities
nd towns too much advantage. I .think,
owever, that the real opposition to passing
the measure at this session rested more in
the- fact that there was a lack of general
information as to the character of a bin
which would be most likely to give the
greatest general satisfaction In this state,
there being much conflict of opinion as to
which of the laws adopted in other states
would best apply.
"The measures creating the most interest
were those relating to the regulation of
freight rates. Five weeks of the session
had passed before the first one (the com
modity freight rate bill) waa introduced.
Following close upon this came the Cald
well and Bedford bills. I am decidedly of
the opinion that the press of the state- was
not warranted In its demands on this leg
islature, that it should pass a law on the
subject of freight rates, considering that
one-third of the legislative period had
parsed ; and, further, I do not call to mind
that there was any expression in the state
conventions last fall on the subject, or
that It was an lp- in the campaign, only
incidentally refei.id to, If at all. The
members were all fresh from the varied
business walks of life, having had no oc
casion to give the complex subject con
sideration, and to add to the uncertainty
of legislating on the subject was the fact
that the press of the state was evidently
not In harmony on the question and ut
terly failed to outline a measure that It
could recommend as Just, expedient and
praotlcal. I am firm in my opinion that at
least three-fourths of the members, re
gardless of lobby or other Influences, were
ready and willing to support a measure
that would grant the relief desired, if they
had only known what It was, but thev
were given their choice between a 10 per
cent and 18 per cent or a 26 per cent meas
ure, and In voting for either they would be
doing It blindly. Many who voted for the
commodity' bill afterward told me they
had done so against their Judgment, but If
they haj done otherwise their action would
have been misunderstood and misinter
preted by their constituents. From tho
start, personally, I have been in favor of
the creation of an elective railway com
mission with full powers as the most ef
fective way of dealing with the Intricate
questions which arise in the dealings of
tne state with the railroads.
"Much has bean said by a portion of the
press about the undue Influence of the
pass upon the members of this body, some
thirty odd papers out of probably over f
In the state having touched upon the qucs
tlon. This, of 'course, made Interesting
reading and answered In the absence of
something more Important to entertain,
but If what the Dally Star says In an edi
torial In Its Issue of March 27 Is true, vis:
That probably more than 100 free passes
sre asked by editors where a single pass
Is received by a member of the legislature,'
It would seem that the newspnpers of the
sta:e, to do real good work along this Una
with the legislature, should turn In their
passes, mileage books, etc.; require the
railroad company to pay cash for space
and come at ua with clean hands. No leg
islature would attempt to resist the pas
sage of a law doing away with free trans
portation If BOO free and untrammeled news
papers should demand It.
"Regarding the pernlclousnens of the
lobby, about which so much has been said,
I have no hesitancy In saying that so far
as its work around the legislative halls Is
concerned, that It has not been either ob
noxious or unduly offensive. If any one
member has suffered great Inconvenience
from this cause I am Ignorant of the fact.
People Interested In measures have spoken
to members about them, as they had a
right to do, but I think the members of
the house will agree with me that no un
necessary time has been taken from them
as a rule. Personally five minutes a day
would more than make good all the time
taken from me by the lobby."

CONNERS WANTS EARLY TRIAL
Will Apply to Sew Federal Judge for
Immediate Hearing: of
Cass.
CHICAGO, April 1, An Important devel
opment of tho Beef trust investigation was
an official announcement today by counsel
for Armour & Co.'s general superintendent,
T. J. Conners, under Indictment charged
with Interfering with witnesses, that an
appeal will be made to Judge Kenesaw
Landls Monday for an immediate trial of
the charges made against Conners. The
government officials were served with a
notice to this effect. They declared them
selves ready to meet the arguments of
attorneys for Conners that the notice states
that Conners will appear in court ready to
plead to the Indictment and to present a
motion for an Immediate trial of the Indict
ment, Conners standing on his constitu
tional rights.
One of the conjectures which arose when
It was first known that such a move was
contemplated was that an attempt Is being
made to force the government to show
what some of the proceedings before the
grand Jury were. According to federal of
ficers It would hot be necessary If Ihe Con
ners case should go to an immediate trial,
for the government to divulge any of the
secrets of the grand Jury room. The tes
timony of J. Edward Shields, the witness
upon whose testimony Conners was In
dicted, would be presented before a petit
Jury with any substantiation the govern
ment may have. This would not neces
sarily cause the government to give away
any secrets, and It is quite likely Jhat the
demand for an immediate trial for Conners
will be acceded to.

WASHINGTON. April 1. (Special Tele
gram.) At the request of the Wyoming
sheep commissioners. Senator Warren to
day obtained from the secretary of agri
culture the withdrawal of the recent order
Issued by the bureau of animal Industry
reducing its force of sheep Inspectors In
Wyoming. It was represented by the
sheep commission that should the force of
Inspectors be cut down at this time Wy
oming flocks, now reasonably free from In
fectious disease, might become Infected
during the. coming shearing and dipping
season, and the request was made that a
full force of Inspectors be retained In the
state until the close of the shearing sea
son. Secretary Wilson at once granted the
request and rescinded the order reducing
the force until after the close of shearing
and dipping. There Is an unusual demand
In Idaho at the present time for more In
spectors of the bureau of animal Industry

WEATHER IllHEVl'S CROP REPORT
Spring; Weather Favorable for AH
Classes of Farming; Operations,
WASHINGTON, April l.-The weather
bureau's monthly summary of crop condi
tions is as follows:
Nearly the entire country has experienced
exceptionally favorable conditions for farm
ing operations during the month of March.
The temperatures were mild throughout
the month with the exception of the lake
vegion, middle Atlantic states and New
England, where it was cold during the
first half, but mild and favorable during
the second half. Portions of the gulf states
suffered from too much rain and farm
work has been considerably delayed In the
central and western portions. Throughout
the central valleys and cenerally on th
Pacific coast farm work Is unusually well
advanced, and while slow progress waa
made In the middle Atlantic states and
New England during the fore part of the
month operations were active during the
latter part.
Winter wheat Is very promising, practi
cally all reports indicating that this crop
has come through the winter In unusually
fine condition In the principal winter wheat
states. The outlook on the Pacific coast
is also promising except In portions of
southeastern Washington, where consider
able was winter killed.
Good progress was made with seeding of
spring wheat and oats, the seeding of oats
being nearly completed In Illinois and Mis
souri and In the more southerly states, the
early sown Is coming up to good stands.
Spring wheat seeding Is unusually well ad
vanced over the southern portion of the
spring wheat region and waa In progress
at the close of the month in the extreme
north portion. Throughout tjie central
valleya the soli was in fine condition for
plowing during most of the month and this
work is well advanced. Some corn haB
been planted bs far north as Kansas,
Missouri, Tennessee and North Carolina,
while farther south a considerable part of
the crop has been planted end some Is up.
Reports Indicate that peach buds have
been extensively killed In tho central val
leys and central gulf states, but In tho
Atlantic const district peaches have been
but little injured so far.
The reports respecting other fruits are
generally encouraging.
Some cotton has been planted in Texas
and in South Carolina, Georgia and Flor
ida, but probably none elsewhere and but
little land has been prepared for this crop
In the central districts.
