To Make Drr Town Drier. . Another rather drastic liquor measure passed the senate committee of-the whole today. , It was Introduced by Pstrlck originally to prevent the soliciting by invents of liquor houses In towns, which hfed no saloons. At the request of several of the . senators who live In "wet"' towns It Was amended by the substitution of an almost entirely new bill, which Is Intended to pro hibit absolutely the soliciting by agents of orders for liquor escept from retail dealers regularly licenced. It Is so drawn that a regularly licensed saloonkeeper may solicit orders from a ftxed place Of business. , The bill went through practically without opposition. Wlleoa Has New Itallroad Bill. ' A measure Important to all the people of 4he state was Introduced In the house by Wilson of Custer county. This bill pro vides the BUte Board of Assessment shall ( use the unit system In assessing railroad ' property snd ths assessment shall be die. 1 trtbuted according to mileage without re gard to main lines or branch lines. Should ths bill be signed by ths governor after ' ths terminal' taxation bill Is signed, It Is - thought by some ths measure would nullify .that measure, and Inasmuch ss Wilson Is ' pretty thick with Burlington Lobbyist Frank Young, the bill will be closely In vestigated by the pledge keeping repub licans. As a reason Hot his bill Mr. Wilson 'said ths average assessment -of ; the -tJnlon Paolfio was 112,100 a mile, "which skould , have given to his county ,1264,864 for taxa tion purposes. The average assessment of i ths Burlington, hs ssid. Is 17.750 a mile, which should have given to Custer county 16(4,48? for taxation purposes, making a total trom both roads of SS2S.751. As a . matter of fsct, he said, his county got only tj6S.16(l for taxation purposes from the two roads because the state board arbi trarily 'made ths distribution. His bill I as follows: Whereas. The revenue lew of the state bf Nebraska provides for the assessment . of railroad property in said state according to what Is known ss the unit system, the value of each mile of railroad being de termined by dividing the whole value by ; the number of miles of main track of each i road or line; and , . Whereas, The Stats Board of Equallsa--tlon snd assessment of Nebraska In the .year 1906 found and determined the value f the fctfll.al miles of tlte Burlington sys tem in cms state, an or wnicn .i owned Ind operated by the Chicago. Burlington : Qulncy Railway company as on road or entity at the uniform rate of tSs.746 per mile as shown by thS records ot raid board; and Whereas, Said board afterward wlthrut authority of taw and by purely artltnry methods apportioned . the said valuation over some sixteen so-called corooijta cS.. ' Visions of said Turlington system at wldly Varying snd different rates of valuation jer mils, thereby nullifying and setting at naught ths principal of unity ot lallrja d valuations sought and Intended to , es tablished by section 89, chapter I v ar ticle I of the complied statutes of Kobriska; and ' Whereas, Bald board 4n the ye'.r 1908 found and determined the valuation of ths fil.it miles of the Union Pacific railroad In Nebraska at the uniform rate of tiiO.SuO per nille, as shown by ths reoords of said board; and , Whereas. The said board afterwards, without authority of law and by purely arbitrary methods, appropriated the said situation of the Union Pacific railroad over Cm inaln Hue and branches of said railroad .i widely varying and different rates of valuation per mile; and Whereas, The same methods of valuation snd apportionment were followed by aatd State board in the year Uu In the assesa tnent of the S46 M miles of the Rock Island railroad and the t!6M miles of the Mis souri Pad ft Q railroad, the said railroads having been valued by said board In the first instsncs as a unit and afterwards ap portioned at different rates of valuation per mile for main line and branches; now therefore, be It Resolved. That the State Board ot Equalisation and Assessment , be and Is hereby directed to make said assessment of railroad prnnerty as the law provides,' so' 'that ths unit systetn shall prevail aa con templated, both In the asaeaament and ap portionment of the sld property and so that ths assessed valuation shall be equal A wtda selection in soft sole pretty combinations of color.

Mike Lee took exceptions to the circular distributed In the house the other day re garding the Mckinley club banquet and Ita object and he roundly denounoed the anonymous author of ths screed. He had made a part of the record thS following letter from John J. Ryder, secretary of the banquet committee: OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 18-To Hon. N. P. Dodge, Jr., and Hon. Michael Lee: Re ferring to the anonymous circular yeu havs sent me, permit me to say, not by way of explanation or apology, but merely by way of denunciation of the cowardly author or authors: There were nine men on the committee appointed by the McKlnley club, at a reg ular meeting, to arrange for the aniHial banquet. The Invitation to the merrrbers of the legislature, and the stats officers to be ths guests of the club was merely a development of a suggestion made by my self, aa a member bf the committee, that we ought to' have a crowd from Lincoln. Our main adviaer was Mr. Victor Rose water, editor of The Bee, who is a member of the club and always Interested In mak ing its gatherings a success. In order to make the list of Contributors to the fund for the entertainment of the Lincoln people as repreanntativs as possible of the repub lican party In Omaha we accepted subscrip tions in various amounts from men like Arthur C. Smith, Captain H. E. Palmer. Mr. H. H. Waldrige, Robert Cowell. Victor Rosewater, 3. W. Wsttles and a dusen others. Mr. Wattles gave no more than half a rioaen men on the Hat, and all of them expreaaed a wUJIngneaa to increaae their subscriptions If necessary. It can be said, too, that no republican who was ssked for a subscription refused us. All gave gladly. That banquet was clean and honest from start to finish, and the members of fhe legislature who were present are the best wltneases of the truth of this statement. The pusillanimous character of the man or men who Inspired the malicious circular which has been But out Is Indicated not only by Its lack of parentage, but also by Its lack of ths union label, which mlarht havs i served to glvs It some standing, because very union laDei nas a number. - The circular is in every sense untrue, malicious and as unworthy as anonymous charges usually are. etincereiy yours, .

Feb. 14--(Speolal)-A letter waa received by a member of the. house this morning from Omaha, from a party who ought to know, aaying soma members of ths Omaha Commercial club were op posed to ths taxation of railroad terminals for city and village purposes and were working under cover for the defeat of the Clarke bill. Just who these mea are who are working against ths intsrests f Omaha and every other town hs the. stste was not disclosed. Incidentally, Mr. Clarke has received numerous letters from prom inent sttorneys who havs looked Into his bill and all of them nave pronounced It constitutional and well' drawn. Among ths number who have endorsed It from a legal standpoint Is Roacoe Pound, former supreme court commissioner. Qerrtt Fort, asalstsnt general passenger sgent of the I'nlon Paclflo, is authority for, ths statement that' the Union Pacific has under consideration now ths practica bility of putting on a train out of Omaha about midnight. This train. Mr. Fort sild, would be of great benefit to ths entire west snd of ths stats ss well aa to Omaha. He made tlte statement last night in an ad dress to the members of the railroad com mittee of the senats In protesting against the 1 cent passenger rats bill. Hs would not say whether ths enactment of ths bill Into law wp,uld affect this contemplated arrangement, but he left an impression that it certainly would. - - ' ' e .- Boms of ths republicans who. have pledges to .k'eep sre beginning to-worry a ll'tls Shout the. .t-cent rats bill. Thla measure wss promised" by the fuaionlsts snd It was upon. this platform they, mads their campaign. The bill at 'this time is well started oa its road to pasaags. Some of the republicana. if the bill la passed. believe the fuslonUts will be In a position to say they bsvS kept their pledge tit this regard, snd the republicans srs wondering tr the fnalonlsts then will try to help Out their rsltroad allies by putting blocks In the wsy of the republican keeping their pledges. One republican has suggested It might be a good Idea to hold back the t-cent bill until some of the pledges made by the republicans to the people hsvs been carried out or at1 least pushed along as far as the 2-cent bill. '' ' t Representative Tucker, baa received 4 red hot letter from Omaha, Jumping on him because some paper up there said his bill to make the county assessor of Douglas County stay In , his office, carried with "It an amendment to ths present law, making county assessors eligible for a second term. Mr. Tucker's bill, he said, did nothing of the kind, and hs Is therefore not respon sible for opinion formed by people who read Irresponsible newspapers. Bailiffs or the district court of Douglas county want tnoft money. They are now paid $76 a month and several of them havs been here lately' to get the Douglas dele gation Interested In a bill Which will in crease the salary to $97.60 a month, tt Is a little thing, the bailiffs ssy, but It means much to them. Some of the delegation en couraged them Ths Kearney Normal school people havs started a letter writing lobby and many lettera .have been received by leglslatora boosting for ths appropriation to double the capacity of the normal school st Kear ney. . Incidentally the Burlington lobby pre vailed upon a . large f number of ths em ployea of the rosd to sign a petition knock ing on ths employers' liability bill Intro duced by Gibson and McMullen. A friend of the bill went through the shops and sx plalned ths bill to the men who signed It, and a great number ordered their names, stricken from ths petition. TheNpetltlon showed up with a little check mark after those who wanted their names taken off, but they are not scratched off as the men desired. It 'Is Just an ekample of ths way the Burlington lobby does business. Burlington Lobbyist Jim Kelby gave him self a title last night In haranguing ths senators. He said: ''I havs been ssked what position I hold with the Burlington. I have Styled myself the chief clerk of every department. M I Thomaa King of Bennet has mapped out a program for ths legislature which Is so concise snd to the point thst Senator Burns, to whom it was sent, has had it read to the senate for the guidance of the other members. It is ss follows: ' BENNET. Neb., Feb. 11, 1907.-Mr. Joe VBurns. Legislator, State House. Lincoln. will faithfully labor In the Interests of all the people this season. I hope you Will kindly aid and vote upon the following: We taxpayers are opposed to paying for stationery for newspaper correspondents or our legislators. While there Is such an enormous stats debt upon us taxpayers we favor an immediate law giving the people a 2-cent passenger rate on all railroad lines In Nebrsska. We favor a law giving to the people the Initiative and referendum and the right to recall. 8nld law, I think, will be superlos to a primary law. We de mand a law reducing to $3 per day the al lowance to our legislators. We favor the repeal of the law of 1906 taking away the right from the . people of making our own levy in all school districts In Nebraska. Wa favor a reduction An the appropriation for legislative and Incidental expenses of 60 per cent. We are opposed to a W-mlll tax to cover Hartley's shortage. We ars also opposed to paying Junketing expense trips, so called. ' We hope you will vote for Gibson's -county option law; If reported correct. It Is a good law.

' WOMAN PUSHED AWAY FROM HIS BOAT arvlver fVka Has Jest ResralaeSl Coaaeloaaaess Tells Story of Cowardice Dead Nam Iter 140. BLOCK ISLAND, R. I., Feb. 14. -One more oflhe grim herveet ot twenty-three victims of the steamer Larqhmont waa sent to the mainland today on the tug Roger Williams. As the death-laden boat left for Providence still ' another victim wss brought . In by the fishing schooner Theresa, making In all seventy-four bodies recovered here from the dlsaater off Watch Hill Monday night. One survivor. Miss Ssdle Gallup, of Bos ton, remains here. Today she declared she begged either Captain McVey or Purser Toung to take her In their boat, but that they pushed her back, and the lifeboat left the Larchmont with only six In It, slthough It would have held twenty more. When the steamer went down she found herself on a piece of wreckage end re mained on- It until picked up ten hours later by ths crew of the fishing schooner Elslf. Miss Gallup only regained consciousness this affernoon and waa very esger to make a statement. He r condition was so grave yesterdsy that It was Impossible to take her to Providence with the other sur vivors, but It Is believed She will recover. The Block Island flshlnat fleet of twenty sails searched the . adjacent waters csre fullly today, but .only two bodies were recovered. The boisterous condition which p revs lied since the Larchmont went down moderated and the wind shifted to the southwest snd south, so that It Is not be lieved that any more bodies will be thrown up on the beach. It Is tho'ught that if any other victims of tjie Larchmont re main afloat they will be thrown upon the beach either at Naragansett Pier, Point Judith or Newport, or perhapa the south ern Rhode Island shore to the westward of Point Judith. , Crew geeks Safety. PROVIDENCE. R. I., Feb. 14. A new element wss injected Into the horror at tending the loss of the steamer Ijarchment In Block Island sound Monday night through a collision wltTf the schooner Harry Knowleton, when Captain McVey of the steamer early today admitted that his lifeboat was one of the first. If. not the first, to leave the sinking ship. This statement was made In reply to charges by Fred Helrgsell, an 18-year-old lad of Brooklyn, one of the survivors, thst the passengers were left to shift for them selves; that the ship's crew crowded 'the boats without attempting to provide for the passengers and that Captain McVey was ths first to desert the ship. Th statement of Helrgsell crested a sensstlon In view of the fact that ten of the. nine teen survivors were employes on the ship, or. In othsr words, that- while approxi mately $0 per, cent of the Vessel's crew was saved, only I per cent ot the passengers survived. Captala Explains, Captain McVey explained that, while hlspchlefs orders to attack, remained inactive boat may havebeen the first In the water, it was because he had a good crew and that ha remained by his ship until it went down, Hs said that hs made no ftlbve to get Into his boat until he had given ordera to his men to lower all the boats and clear away the rafts. While his boat was lit ths water it waa fastened1 t the ship by a rope in-the' running gear that tiad be come caught, and thla was cut by Boat swain Andrew Tobeson, who saw that with ths ship settling rapidly the boat and Its occupants would be caught in ths whirlpool and sucked beneath the surface. The cap tain's boat waa on ths windward-side and hs said hs called to the passengers to Jump Into his boat, which would hold about twenty-two people in all. but the electric lights had been extinguished and in the darkness and confusion no one heeded his summons. Everybody was on the leeward side of ths ship and he ordered his men to row around there, he claims, but the gate balked his plan, and aa the boat was driven away from the steamer his 'msn hsd to glvs up their task and crouch In ths bottom of ths host out of the way of the piercing wind.

Haley, Mats Frank Oovant and Seamen Carl Johnson and Julius Borgsrson.

Captain Haley aald hs ordered ths man at ths wheel to keep ths schooner on her course. ' Captain Halay aald he aaw the nose of ths steamer cross ths bow ofVhls vessel.

During ths fight on, ths Bhaks rlvsr ths senior commandera, Stackeiberg and Bll dsrllng, were responsible only for their own tasks end, acted entirely independently. Regarding the capabilities ot ths trans Siberian railroad, Kouropatkln declares al though the minister of war reported that It could carry twelvs Pairs of trains daily, tbia number waa not reached up to ths snd of ths war. ' Orlppeaberar Reveals Plana. After 'the fall of Port Arthur Kouro patkln declares,! his plan for a great turn ing movement and the blame for Its failure was thrown on General Grlppenberg. "It Is regrettable." says Kouropatkln, "that a fortnight before the commence ment of our-advance' ths chances of suc cess were overturned by certain orders of Grlppenberg, which revealed to the enemy ths nature of our intended move ment. Concerning the reverse at Sandepu, Kouropatkln aays: "It waa Impossible thst it could havs ended otherwise In view of ths absolute unpreparedness of the attack. The sn- 1 virens and fortifications of that village had not been studied and no sketches of ths ground hsd been prepared for ths troops. As a result the krtlllery fired tor a wjiole day against Rattalae Instead of Pandepti. The fourteenth division attacked Itaotsdie, west tt Ssndepu, and having occupied that village, the commander thought hs was Occupying Sandepu and so reported to me. . Sandepu's outer wall waa oven mistaken by the. Fourteenth dl- Lvlslon tor the redoubt Inside of Ssndepu, Not supposing Itself strong enough to Iske this redoubt the division returned to Its former positions. "Stackeiberg, noticing that Sandepu waa not taken, In spite of the order twice given by Grlppenberg to stop ths advance, did not find It possible to obey, and after a very hard sttls took ths greater part of Sandepu towards ths evening, but at dawn he was attacked by superior forces and forced to retire." Continuing his description snd criticism of the operations, Kouropatkln complains of Grlppenberg for falling to report and confer, with him at the critical Juncture, though he had telephoned to his command, sddlng however: "Personally Grlppenberg Could not talk with ms on account of his deafness. This ended our- first sttempt to adopt the offensive. It cost about 10,000 men." Showing absence of proper communica tion between the commander of, ths army and ths various corps, Kouropatkln de clared portions of ths Fifteenth division retired Without permission and without awaiting ths enemy's sttsck. Grlppenberg later reported that he was 111 and left for St. Petersburg. "His proceeding," saya Kouropatkln, "set a most deplorable example both to.thoes under him and to ths othsr armies and was calculated to undermine discipline." , His expressed opinion thst ths campaign might be considered lost and that A retreat, first to Mukden and then to Harbin, waa necessary, produced dangerous bewilder ment In the minds of ths more faint hearted. - Kaatbara Disobeys Orders. Regarding Mukden, Kouropatkln says quick measures were necessary to save the city and Its defense was entrusted to Gen eral Kaulbars. "I again," he ssys, "Insisted on speedy sctlon and gave ' Kaulbars full freedom in carrying out this order. Kaulbars did not Carry It out, giving aa an excuae ths nonarrlval of troops." How Kolbars failed to stop General Nogl'a Victorious sdvanoe Is related with much detail and constitutes In itself a vivid recital pf the blunders, cross .purposes. In capacity and consequent disaster. Kaulbars Is directly accused) of failure to carry out hla Instructions arid ot fatal inactivity In defiance of urgent, reiterated orders at crucial psrlods of ths confllot Kaulbars was ordered on February 16 to ascertain the precise strength ot ths snemy, ths direction of their movements and Intentions. These orders frequently wre repeated, but disobeyed, snd ths com mander consequently waa forced to make his decisions hastily on false and Incom plete Information. Kaulbars, assigned to arresting Nogl's turning movement, acted upon erroneous information and davoted all his time aryl attention to ths movements of Okru's army on the west front, mis taking it for Nogi's army. Kouropatkln' s "conclusions" declara thst "Kaulbars, in spite of the commender-ln- ana aid not even know the disposition of his own troops. ThS next day Kaulbars again made no move and disregarded or ders energetically , to. attack ths snemy's left wing." - Troops Idle Daring Battle. Details of forces at Kaulbars' disposal ars tabulated, and 11 shown that "down to February 16 thirty-flvs battalions never went Into action,' while the Japaness ware successfully .carrying on . a turning move ment before their very eyes. . . , "At . this time," Kouropatkln continues, "the oorqmander-ln-chlef ordered Kaulbars to send all troops possibls so ths right bank of ths river, lie did exactly ths contrary. moving two regiments over 1o ths left bank. Ws could havs concentrated more than 100 battalions and thrown thorn against Kogl. Kaulbars not only disobeyed the order to throw troops across ths river, but, having lost five days, hs went so far In allowing ths turning movement that on February $. party of his fores was still operating, not against Nogl, but sgalnst Oku'a left wing. Kaulbars la blamed for not reorganising his forces, which were In a state of great confusiqn, for drswlng, recklessly on ths reserves snd for many other shortcomings. The book 'contains the text of General Kouropatkln's reports to the emperor, In which he enlarges on ths causes of ths de feat at Mukden. ... Elsewhere, howevet, Kourapatkln frankly admits to ths emperor that he himself wss much to blame for ths Mukden defeat, aay ing hs did not insist sufficiently before the beginning of the battle on a strong reserve for ths declslvs moment t CHANCE FOR LANDS (Continued from first Paga.)
