provide for a' vote on the matter before
the measure becomes effective, Leeder, It
Is believed, would have little trouble In

Dairymen Wast Inspection.
A bill endorsed by the Stale Dairymen's
association at a recent meeting In Lincoln
was Introduced Into the senate today by
Thomson of Buffalo. It provides for a
thorough Inspection and regulation of ail
concerns engaged In manufacturing or
handling of dairy products. It makes the
governor dairy commissioner and allows
' him to appoint a deputy, who shall be en
' dorsed by the board of directors of tho
' State Dairy association,' and to draw a
salary of I1.SO0. a yoar. The deputy la ul-
lowed to appoint four Inspectors who shall
M paid $3 a day and expenses, a chemist
at $1,600 a year and a stenographer at $70
a month. ' The Inspectors are to be ap
proved by the governor and the president
and board of directors of the, Dairy asso
ciation and the professor of dairying at
the State university. Wide latitude U
given the department In making inspec
tion of concerns that manufacture and
"handle dairy products as to purity of tho
, product and the sanitary conditions sur
rounding. It. Milk Is required . to contain
- t per cent and cream 18 per cent of butter
fat. Penalties of from $10 to $100 are pie-
... scribed for violations.
The dairymen In presenting the bill con
tend tho price of dairy products from Ne
braska Is lower In the markets outside the
'state than products from ether states bs-
cause of llie lax laws relating to Inspec
tion ond purity. They declare the Increase
'In price will more than make up for the
cost pf the department. . .

Grist of Insurance Dills.
, The state Insurance department has had
introduced In the senate nine bills pro
'vldlng for radical reforms and stringent
regulations of Insurance companies. The
bills cover changes endorsed by the con
vention rf Insurance commissioners from
.fifteen states held last summer. One of
them provides that no dorreatlc Insurance
company shall pay to any officer or em
ploye a salary of $5,000 or more without a
vote of the board of directors. No person
receiving a salary or more than $100 a
month shall be engaged In any other bust
ness. Salaries of over $50,000 a year are for
bidden and It Is provided that any company
paying any officer more than that amount
shall be prohibited from doing business In
the state. Another of the bills - requires
that all expenditures by insurance com
panies be covered by vouchers and detailed
statements and that any expenditure hav
ing to do with any matter before a legis
lature or public official shall be covered
by vouchers and by a statement showing
what the matter was and how and for
what purpose the expenditure was made.
The provisions that must be made a part
of all policies are definitely set out In an
other bill. Other bills require an annual
apportionment of dividends and surplus
funds, define the status of solicitors, makv
Ir.g them agents of the insurance company
und not of . the applicant, and prohibit
corporations or stock companies from act
ing as agents.
Ben T. White, representing the North
western railroad, &nd several other rail
road men appeared before the senate Judi
ciary committee this afternoon to discuss
tliA .mnlnvnn llnfiilltv hill Dnnr.i.il hv I
several organizations of railway employes.
A delegation of engineers and conductors
was present to support the measure. Mr.
White declared the bill too drastic and
asked that It be modified In certain sec
tions. The senate committee on constitutional
amendments and federal relations Is en
gaged In listening to pro and con argu
ments on the question of a law relating
to veterinary surgeons. A committee of
veterinarians from over the state was be
fore the committee this afternoon. They
are opposed to any change In the present
low. Some of the older practitioners ob
ject to the present law requiring an ex
amination before the State board and are
seeking to have passed a law allowing
those who have practiced a term of years
to be registered without examination. They
also have a delegation before the committee
supporting a bill which has been Introduced
Into both houses.
Datldlna- for State Fair.
The State Fair board is behind the bill
Introduced by Walsh of Douglas county to
appropriate $75,000 for the erection of n
machinery building on the state rair
grounds. It Is the desire of the board to
construct, a cement building with sufficient
floor space to take care of the machinery

the rentals from this building will amount

ROl'TINE PROCEEDINGS OF SENATE
Street Railway Dill Is Discussed and
Postponed for a Week.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 24. (Special.) The
senate this morning spent considerable
time discussing la committee of the whole
bill by Epperson of Clay requiting teach
ers Institutes u te ncia during tus
months of June, July or August. More
time was spent on this measure than on
a half dozen or more Important bills.
The bill espoused by G. W. Wattles of
Omaha giving street railway companies
powet to own stock and hpnds In and
lease and operate Interurban companies
will be constructed In the building and this
gallery will be used for educational and
other exhibits.
while no definite move has been made
In that direction, there Is a growing senti

It Is told when the court was several
hundred cases behind In Its work same
years ago the Judges proper- did not have
time to review In all details the opinions
of the commissioners, but Instead merely
endorsed the findings. Lawyers were pro
hibited from using the law points In their
briefs, but Inasmuch as times have changed
since then many of the lawyers use the
law In these unofficial optnlona when mak

Is said, frequently uses them for prece

It Is planned to have the annex tuin the
building at the present library; have It
constructed of flrepnoof material and suf
ficiently large for the books and rsoords
' of the library. Many of the members
have visited the present library, and those
! who have expressed themselves are In
j favor of something being done whereoy
th valuable library can be protected from
fire and at ths same time given space
sufficiently large to contain the books. It
Is thought It will require about $2(0.000
for the construction of ths annex.
Objections to Street Railway Dill.
Another puncture wss made In H. R. 1,
which provides street railway companies
may own stock of an Interurban company,
when a member of the railroad committee
to which the bill was referred happened
to think of another bill which Walsh In-
troduced providing Interurban companies
. can do a general heating and lighting busl
I ness along the route. This member of ths
J committee says this will give street rail
way companies a franchise to do a geneial
I heating and lighting business in cities with
i out more ado. But a more serious objeo
, Ua to the bill is that It will practically
I put street railway companies under the
; same taxing lawa as now apply to rail
! roads, which will mean that In Omaha the
street railway will not be taxed locally, but
the valuation will be made by ths State
Board of Assessment. A member from
' out In the state called attention to these
i things, and unless the bill Is amended to
prevent the things compiainea or an aa
verse report from the committee Is looked
for.

When S. F. 25, relating to the holding of

panles, came up for consideration Aldrlch
of Butler objected to the consideration of
It hurriedly. He said the senate should

might be of far-reaching effect. Ashton

8. F. W. by King, went over for one day.
It Is a bill giving necond-class cities hav.
lng less thsn S.000 population and villages
power to grant franchises for lcs than
twenty years.
A long debate followed the reading of
Epperson's bill relating to county teachers'
Institutes. Randall led the fight on It and
moved It be Indefinitely postponed. The
bill would require the county superinten
dent to hold the Institute during June,
July or August. Randall said It was un
just to require the teachers to break their
vacations when the Institute might be held
st some other time Just as well. Epper
son cited an Instance In his own county
In which the superintendent held the In
stitute In March, against the protect of the
five high schools In the county. Randall's
motion was lost and the bill recommended
for passage.
A communication from the State Journal
company relating to the resolution sdopted
Monday, directing the attorney general to
begin suit to collect the penalties for fail
ure of the aurnal company to return
printed senate files within three days of
the delivery of the copy to the printer.
The communication says the company has
held the contract for this work with few
exceptions for every session of the legis
lature since 1R79 and the provision of the
statute has never been exacted. The pro
visions. It continues, would work a hard
ship now because of the unprecedented
number of bills Introduced Into the senate
during the first twelve days of the session.
It suggests the matter be referred to a
committee. The communication closes with
the statement If the legislature considers
It necessary to require an exact enforce
ment of the terms the Journal company
would not Object to a cancellation of ths
contract and would waive all Its rights
under it.
. After the communication had been read,
Epperson, who Introduced the resolution
referred to, snld he did It because this was
a reform legislature, and as the State
Journal had been waving the flag of re
form In the vanguard of the procession, he
wanted to call Its attention to that fact.
The discussion was growing humorous
when a motion to adjourn until afternoon
was made and carried.
At the afternoon session the committee
on live stock and grazing reported favor
ably on the following bills:
S. F. 131 By Latta of Burt. Providing a
penalty of one to ten years In the peni
tentiary for bringing Into the stato or
dlnposlng of stolen horws.
S. F. 1S2 By Latta. Prescribing a penalty
of from one to ton years In the penitentiary
for bringing Into the state or disposing of
stolen cattle.
The committee on manufacturing . and
commerce reported favorably on B. F, 98,
which requires a public hearing before the
granting of pardons or commutation of
sentences of convicts. The committee- of
fered an amendment providing the law
should not spply where imprisonment would
endanger the life of the prisoner.
The committee on Internal improvements
reported favorably on Senator King's bill
relating to the alulltion of dower to the
injured party tn a divorce suit.
The senate then went Into committee of
the whole, with Senator Epperson In the
choir. The entire session of the commit
tee was taken up tn a discussion of S. F.
129, by Wilcox providing that In counties
of 15,000 or more the county Judge should
be sn attorney. Byrnes of Platte moved
to amend by making it apply only to coun
ties of 30,000 or mors. A long discussion
on ths merits and demerits of lay Judges
followed and finally the amendment car
ried, twenty voting for It. Wilson of
Pawnee then moved the amended bill be
Indefinitely postponed and the motion c-r-ried.
The senate adjourned until 10
clock.
The following bills were introduced into
the senate today:

TR AMP BILL DI8C188EQ 1 HOI SK
Measure Recommended for Passage la
Committee of Whole.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jan. 24. (Bptclal.) H. R. ilO,
by Bcudder of Hall, was recommended tor
passage. This is the "antl-hobo bill, anl
tt gives authority to railroad employ M
to arreet persona stealing rides on trains
or attempting to steal rides and provides
a punishment for hoboes. The bill was
Introduced at the request of the In Ion Pa
cific railroad officials, and a petition lib
erally signed asking for Its p&Asuge was
read by Clarke of Douglas county, win
took the lead In defense of the bill. While
the standing eommlttee reported the bill
for general file. Cone, Adams and Henry
introduced a minority report that tt be
indefinitely postponed. Cone, who sup
ported the minority report, argued that
It gave tco much authority fo trainmen,
as It permitted them to moke arrests with
out warrant or process.
A statement read by Mr. Clarke- from
H. W. Powers of the detective .force of the
Union Pacific showed the number of
"hoboes" who get Into the various towns
cf, tbe state by reason of Ihe absence of
such a law. During th-ee months lost sum
mer the statement showed North I'latie
city authorities arrested every suspicious
character who came Into the city, a total
of 183 who were put to work. Hundrtdd
of others, the statement sold, jumped from
trains and-avoided arrest.
Statistics were brought out in the state-
, ment showing that during 1904 there wars j
only two serious crimes committed In Chey.
enne county. One was murder and three
tramps were sant to the penitentiary for
this. A tramp was convicted of robbing
a man at Sidney. The records at North
Platte show the crimes committed by tramps
In excess of the crimes committed by othom
is five to one. In that place there were
twenty-four serious crimes committed by
hoboes and five by .home talent. Four
tramps were sent to we hospitals by rea
son of getting liiiured on trains. At Kear
ney during 1904 eleven serious crimes were
committed by tramps and four of the men
were sent to the peb'f.riUary and seven
to the reform school. There were only
eight urrests of local people and two con
victions. ' Twenty-seven tramps were ar
rested there for petty offenses. At Oram!
Island twelve serlCus crimes were com
mitted by tramrs: Four were sent to the
penitentiary. Nlncty-sIx tramps were ar
rested for petty offenses.
Wilson of Custer was In favor of the
spirit of the bill, but believed "if I could
could put a string around the neck of
very tramp-1 think I should be congratu
lated for' the' good werk done for the com
munity." Wilson told of his experiences
'with tramps at his elevator and coal sheds
snd the trouble they caused.
-Quackenbush of Nemaha fav.-ed ths pro
visions making stealing a ride a misde
meanor, but hs believed the railroad com
panies would not be responsible should an
employe arrest a wrong party.. He believed
the state would be responsible, lnssmuch
as the railroads did not delegate such au
thority to their employes. Jennlson of
Clay thought the bill should be placed on
general file to be discussed In the com
mittee of the whole.
Harrison of Otoe asked the cause of
"hobolsm."
"The cause Is the dollar against the
man." retorted Cone of Saunders.
"Then Hs dollars to doughnuts he don't
want a Job at 11.60 a day," answered Har
rison. : . .
Harrison then spoke In favor of the' bill,
giving un Incident In this state where
tramps' who were ordered from ths right,
of-way by a railroad agent refused to go
and began to- fight, resulting in one of their
number being killed. -The agent, he said,
had brooded over the matter until his
own death, wlilch It Is generally believed
In his neighborhood occurred at his own
hands.
H. R. 7, by Henry of Holt, was Indefi
nitely postponed. This bill msde It unlaw
ful for a person to hunt. on a man's farm
without the owner's written permission.
A motion by Marsh of Seward was
sdopted providing for subcommittees from
the various standing committees on affairs
relating to state Institutions be selected to j
visit the Institutions In compsny with a
like committee from the senate.
Cone of Saunders reported that Epperson,
In the senate, had used all his Influence
as the head of the committee on military
affairs to kill the houBe stamp act. He
therefore moved that a committee be ap
pointed to poison his dog. No vote was
taken, as it Is understood Epperson naa
already sent his dog out of town, fearing
such action would be taken.
Von Housen's resolution to memorallxe
congress to support an Income tax meas
ure was adopted.
