One or the bllle H. K. 47 went down to defeat because only forty-nine members voted for It, fifty-one being the number neceasary te earry a measure and Its companion H. R. 48 being Indefi nitely postponed Immediately after the death of Its brother. , The killing was rather a slow process, and It began when Hanier of Buffalo moved to recommit tlvi bill for specific amendment. Having had experience with thla bill once before whan It was In the committee of the whole Brown made a fight and the house sus talned him. The bill was then put on its final passage and owing to absent mem bers the bill failed to receive enough votes, though It got the great majority of those present. Doctors Fight Whltham'a Bill. Strenuous efforts are being made to pro vent the passage of a bill by Whltham of Johnson :H. R. 74 which If enscted Into law would prevent the. peddling of patent medicines through the country and mak ing It unlawful for,ott)er than a regls ', tered pharmacist or one under hla direct .charge from filling prescriptions or selling medicines. .Chairman Fletcher of, the committee -en medical societies has . ro-1 celved over 100 'telegrafhs knocking on the blU from various parjs of the state, and a lobbyist worked today and yester day on the floor of the house In opposi tion to the bill.

The vote todny was 17 to 9, the proposition receiving a majority of the. entire seriate, which the presiding officer Friday decided would be neceasary on the grounds it amounts to an appropriation of money. The matter was called up by Dodaon, who moved,...that the vote of Friday on the motion to adopt the report of the printing committee be reconsidered. King demanded a roll call and the vote stood 19 to 8 In favor of reconsideration. A long and , spirited debate followed. In which the merlta of the proposed contract and Its legality were . gone Into. King contended .the senate had no right to en ter Into .contract with .anyone and quoted the statute to support his contention all supplies had to be purchased through the JJoard of Public Land and Buildings. A rqll call on the original motion was de manded and the vole stood 17 to 9. Friday, . when . thef same matter wai brought up.

Senator Goodrich of Fillmore, ha In troduced a bill which It Is declared would practically abolish the death penalty in this state. The bill I modeled after the Kansas law and provide that after a per son ha been sentenced to death the gov ernor shall fix the time for his execution to take place, not sooner than a year after conviction or not less than thirty day after the order Is Issued. The prac tical working of the law In Kansas haa been to abolish the death penalty, as no governor since the law went Into .effect ha seen fit to Issue an order fixing the date of execution. The result I the penitentiary contain a large number of persona who have been sentenced to death but who are awaiting an order fixing the date of the execution. ' Tax oat Credits. The committee on revenue haa before It a bill Introduced by McKesson of Lan caster county, which provides for the tax ing of net credit and makes very drastic regulation regarding the methods by which the result Is accomplished. The bill Is op posed by a number of assessors and Is also liable to be ufcjecllonshle to person who would -benefit by It because of' "require ment that before deduction of debts may be made from credits, a public statement, worn to, must be made, showing .'n detail to whom each obligation deducted Is owing and the amount of the same. This, it is asserted, would require merchants to make public some of the details of their business to an extent that would be distasteful to them. Relief for Hospitals. Omaha hospitals are Interested In a bill Introduced some time ago by Saunders, making several changes In tbe law relat ing to the articles of association of societies to conduct hospitals. The bill .eliminate the provision that the societies may be In corporated for only thirty- years and place them on the aame basis as other corpora tions. It changes another provision so that any number of trustees above three may be selected. Hospitals are to be allowed to hold real property for twenty-five Instead of ten years and are not limited to $100,000 worth of property. ..... 'A. W.

TWO THAW JURORS EXCUSED M?mbtri of Find Eeld by Court, but Bo Bearoa i GiTtn. two More are sicufed during day Attorneys for Defense I'se ieven Per emptory Challenge Prisoner In High Splrlte-iTaklng Kvldene Will Begin Thnrsdny. NEW YORK. J,n. . The first big ur prise In the trial of Harry K. Thaw came today, when Justice Fitxgerald, on the mo tion of District Attunuy Jerome and with the consent of the attorney for the de fense, announced that two of the Juror selected In the early days of the proceed ings would be excused. Without any reflection whatever on the Jurymen," aald the presiding Judge, "Jurors Nos. four and six will be excused." The men In question were Arthur S. Campbell, a superintendent of telephone construction, and Harold Falre, a printer and publisher. The court room was crowded for the opening of the afternoon session, when the announcement was made. District Attorney Jerome said: "The rea son for this action will not be made pub lic, but they are of a business nature." When the excused Jurymen left they were besiegfd by questioners, Mr. Falre created a mild sensation when he asserted that he was utterly In Ignorance of any reason why he should be asked to step down. He said: "The announcement In court was the firs' knowledge I had of the Intended action. In passing through the court house cor ridors this morning I heard a man remark that two of the Thaw Jurors were to be excused today. I had no Idea that the re mark could Include me." Mr. Campbell, the second of the excused Jurors, declared he "had too much respect for the court to give an Interview." It was generally reported that Mr. Camp bell had asked to be relieved. He begged to be excused when first placed on the Jury. Two More Jnrors In Conrt. On new Juror had been added to the trial panel when the excuse of Falre and Camp bell was announced and a second was sub sequently secured, thus offsetting the loss. When court adjourned there were nine men In the Jury box. Forty-six talesmen were called before the two satisfactory Jurors were secured. This exhausted the original panel of 200 men and used up eighteen of the new panel of 100 men summoned yes terday. The two new Jurors sworn In to day were: No. 10, John 8. Dennee, travel ing freight agent, 38 years old, unmarried, a native of New Orleans; No. 4, David H. 8. Walker, real estate broker, 34 year old, unmarried, a son of John Brlsbin Walker. He was chosen during the after noon session and replaced Juror Campbell. Thaw seemed well pleased with the selec tion of Dennee an!J Walker and smiled when the prosecution withdrew pending challenges. As soon as Mr. Dennee said he waa a Loulslanan, Thaw was seen In earnest consultation with hla lawyer. Mr. Walker waa accepted by the defense in spite of the . fact that he aald he knew Stanford White and many of the dead architect' friend. He alio had formed an opinion In the case. and expressed It many times. These facts, Mr. Walker declared, however, would not prevent his rendering an Impartial verdict. He had not seen White for a year before hla death. . Thaw's attorneys set a high water mark for peremptory challenges today when they summarily excused seven talesmen. The state challenged peremptorily only once. The defense now has thirteen per' emptory challenge left and .tbe tat sev enteen. Thaw Fnmily In Court. The members of the Thaw family were all In court and for once disarmed thosrt who had circulated reports of family quar rels. Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the prisoner, conversed and chatted with Mrs. Harry Thaw constantly. The countess of Yarmouth also talked freely with young Mrs. Thaw.' Miss May MacKenzle was a participant In several of the family chats, notably during the luncheon recess, when the party sat for a time In a circular group. The prisoner seemed In high spirits and the fact that tbe actual hearing of the case had been put back a full day or more by the excusing of two Jurors did not seem to have the least effect on him. It is now believed that the taking of tes timony cannot be reached before Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. ' DEATH RECORD Georgte A. Wolfe. TABLE ROCK, Neb., Jan. 29. (Special.)
