state-wide primary bill was ao Important
that every political party Included it in Its
platform, It waa discussed by political
speakers of every party during the cam
paign. It Is so Important hat a committee
waa appointed by the leglalature to no
what the people wanted done. H. R. 406
la the work of that committee. The bill Is
entitled to precedence. I am in favor of
taking thla bill, aectlon by aectlon. and
discussing t and adopting any amendment
which may be necessary before taking up
any other bill." .
MeMallea's Poaltloa.
"I am willing to give precedence to the
committee - bill," aaid McMullen. "But
imply because the platform calls for a
state-wide primary law It should not ex
clude other bills from consideration. The
natural Inference la from these talk that
only H. R. 406 will be discussed. I desire
to call the attention of the house to the
i-oent flat rate bill which we passed, when
the republican atate platform did not call
tor It. Our platform specified this matter
should be left to the railway commission,
but we did not do that We can do the
same with the primary law." ,
Wilson could sea .no reason why both
bills ahould not be read through and then
discussed, . -
. Ned Prown of Lancaster said It was not
.a question of considering both bills at once,
but how to consider them. In each he said
there was much of the same and they could
be. discussed together.
- Cone of Saundere expressed himself that
,lf the committee bUl waa all right he would
,vote for It and If It . wasn't he wouldn't.
He wanted either a good' bill or none at all.
Quackenbush was opposed to taking up
both bills at once. The Hamer motion, was
lost and. the .reading of the bill which .had
been Interrupted at aectlon I waa returned.
Jennlson, of Clay , offered 8 an amend
ment, to the section providing, for. the filing
of nomination certificates, the petition plan
as proposed In the original Podge bill.
'The amendment la a small primary bill
In Itself." said McMullen. "It should be
placed beforo each member so we can tell
what It Is. I move that manifold copies
be made and distributed to each member."
Harvey Haa lagaesdoa.
- Ned- Brown cited him to the original
bill, H. R. 1, from which the amendment
was taken,- Redmond apoke for the amend
ment. Harvey aaid he did not object to
the petition particularly, but the way the
section read he aaid It would Invalidate
a petition which waa algned by parties
who had algned more than one, providing
the new signers were not sufficient In num
ber. He believed It ' would permit candi
dates being kept oft the ticket by tricksters.
- Dodge thought the Harvey suggestion
drood and said he would offer an amend
ment providing a penalty for signing more
than one petition for the same office when
thera waa to be only one place filled.
- McMullen opposed the petition. He said
It would place the cltlaen at a dtaadvantage
la that If ha algned the petition of any
candidate, be pledged himself to that can
didate, when he might later want to sup
port someone else. He . moved a substi
tute providing that someone other than
the candidate file the certificate.
y , Quackenbueh la answer to a question
from McMullen aaid he never algned a
petition unleaa he .favored It.
Lee of Douglaa- said McMullen' state
ment ahould detect bis amendment because
If the petition did nothing else It would
compel men to be (nor careful whose pe
tition fliey, signed and would reault In the
nomination of better men.
Con oppoaed the McMullen substitute,
but he wanted to know why It ahould be
specified tkat the signer of a petition should
have to say he would support the maa
whoa petition he signed. The McMullen
substitute waa loat and the Jennlson amend
' numt carried after Harvey had amended

The questions at Issue In the governor's
suit against himself for ' house rent werq
discussed In the senate thla morning ,when
the committee of the whole took up the
consideration of McKesson' bill providing
a method for the payment of railroad fate
for state officers on public business. The
debate came up on an amendment offered
by McKesson to Include Judicial officers.
At present dlatrict and supreme judges are
paying their own railroad fare. King of
Polk raised the point that thla provision
might be In conflict with the constitutional
provision that these officers should not re
ceive any other perquisite or benefit be
sides their salaries. He thought the pay
ment of railroad fare might be construed
as a perquisite or benefit.
Root of Cass, who I defending Ooverr.or
Sheldon's suit, was loaded for this argu
ment. He cited court decisions holding
that the payment of actual expenses was
not a pernulsite. He said the state ought
to bear tliia-expense because under their
present salaries the judges In the larger
districts could not afford to pay their rail
road fare. Heretofore they had been In
the habit of accepting passes to lighten the
burden, but he thought It best for the atate
to pay thla part of the!,' expense. The
amendment to Include the Judges was car
ried, with another, which allows the au
ditor to pass on all claims for fare under
the bill.
The bill provides the secretary of state
shall Issue coupons to state offlceT, and
when they desire to take a trip they pre
sent the coupons properly filled out and
Signed- to the ticket "agent" In exchange for
a ticket. The coupon contains - state
ment of the nature of the business de
manding the trip, and Is accompanied 'fey
a sworn statement by the officer. The
claim la then audited by the auditor, and
If approved the coupon 1 paid by the
treasurer. The bill waa recommended for
passage.
Par Food BUI.
After two hour of trenuous discussion
the senate this afternoon In committee of
the whole' recommended for passage the
Judiciary committee substitute for the
Burns pure food bill. The only attack on
the measure was in the Interest of the
druggists, who were represented on the
floor of the senate by Senator Luce of
Harlan, who la In the business. Thvprin
clpal difficulty came In amending section
t, which originally required all patent
and proprietary medicines containing poi
sonous substances to be labeled poison In
large red letters. The druggists protested
that this- would work s hardship On thorn
In the preparation of formulae of ' their
own for general aale. After some discus
sion the section waa changed ao as not
to require the poison label, provided the
maximum doae which might be taken with
aatety by adulta or Infanta ahould be stated
on the bottle. Another change provides
that It shall be a valid defense against
prosecutions under this section If It is
shown the goods complained, of were In
stock March 21. 1807.
After the aectlon had been amended Luo
moved to strike It all out and precipitated
a hot debate on the patent medicine ques
tion. Dodson declared the retailers had not
oppoaed the bill until put up to it by the
wholesalers and the wholeealera had not
paid any attention to It until urged to di,' anu eleemosynary institutions, and pr-
anj vj iuo Hwumaiiuini ii uwikicu im
uae of patent medicine waa the cause of

was' then recommended f ir pf.scage without

So Tax on Mortaaaea.
Without giving It a hearing before the
committee of the whole the senate this
afternoon killed H. R. 175, which provided
for. the assessment of real estate mort
gages as a part of the real estate and not
as personal property, and fixed the alius
of the mortgage for taxation purposes the
county within which the mortgage ia lo
cated and not the residence of the owner,
The revenue committee reported the bill
for Indefinite postponement and McKesson
who has a similar bill In the senate, made
a tight to have the bill placed on general
file. McKesson charged the lawyers and
the bankers who loaned money for foreign
corpora tlona were against the bill and
pleaded for a chance to be heard before
the committee of the whole, but his motion
to place the house bill on general file waa
lost by a vote of 15 to IS. The vote was
as follows:

McKesson called attention to the fact the
bankers and money loancrs voted against
the bill and aaid they were evidently In
fluenced by their Interest In covering op
mortgages from the assessor. This brought
out a rebuke from King, who said as to
htinself the charge waa false. The blll. aa
recommended by Governor Sheldon hi hi
message and this waa one of the reason
Its friends v.rged it should be given a re
spectful hearing before the committee of

Th anti-pass bill will come before the
senate Friday morning and will probably
cailse a lively tight An attempt will be
made to- substitute the King bill for the
Joint committee measure passed by the
house and, some of the senators who have
kept in touch with the situation believe
this will be done. The King bill is not as
stringent' aa the joint committee , measure
and ia modeled after the national law.

ceived while In the employ of the railroad
or members of the family of an employe
killed while In service; care takers of live
stock, poultry or vegetables; aleeplng car,
baggage, express and other similar em
ploye while on dutyj It Is modeled strictly
after .the plank In the republican platform.
The King bill prohibit the Issuance of
free transportation except to the following:
Officers, agents, bona fide employes, sur
geons, physicians and attorneys at law,
of such railroad ormpany and their families;

to nearly every question asked. Mr. Con
nell's objections covered a wide range. Ho
objected to some questions on the ground
that they confuacd the witness and the
Jury and took up time and encumbered the
record. He was overruled by the court In
nearly every Instance.
Cpon one proposition the defense 'took a
determined stand and upon this question
argument continued past noon.. At the afternoon-session
the defense was overruled
and the county attorney allowed jo intro
duce the evidence. It resulted from
the move ' of the county attorney
to show that ' the Omaha Coal ex-
change was so organised ns to shut out the
small dealer. The county attorney, was
proceeding to show the statue of .the fiv
Classes: rt dealer Into, 'which , member of
the exchange were divided, and to demon-,
stravt haw . hard it was for th. amall !
dealer without a yard or ' trackag . of his
own to get Into the organization. It re
quired, a unantmpus vote of the members
of , the exchange, to allow such a dealer to
hav membership, and without membership
he wa compelled to buy bis ccal front one
Of. the big dealers. . ,
--Hot Mentioned In BUI.
.The defense objected to the admission of
evidence upon this point on the ground
that It Is not mentioned In the Indictment.
Th state held It to be one of the epeclflc
acts by which the exchange had restrained
trade and fixed price of coal as alleged
in the Indictment; Mr. Stout began to argue
thin point to the Court oon after 11 o'clock
and at noon Mr. Connell wa slill talking
on the question. The argument waa con
cluded soon after the noon recess.
The resignation of. Sunderland Bros, from
the Coal exchange was Introduced In evl.
dence and also the resignation of James A.
Sunderland from the , board of directors.
The letter commended th organisation on
having placed the coal business In Omaha
"on a legitimate basis" and promised to co
operate In the future In "maintaining like
condition.'
The letter was dated July 25, 1905. The .
minutes showed the resignation was not ac
cepted, but a constitutional amendment
was adopted which would allow the Sun
derland Bros, company to retain member
ship and Oeorge P. Cronk was appointed a
committee of one to wait upon the com
pany In regard to this.
Though the court showed much distaste
for the frequent long objection on the part
of th defense, there was only one Instance
when this approached the serious. It was
on Judge Troup's characterisation of Mr.
Wills aa a witness.
"It la evident to the court that the wit-
ness Is a hostile witness,", said the Judge, i
"Now, we object to the statement and
remark of the tfourt aa prejudicial and not
In accordance with the fact," exclaimed
Mr. Connell. "There la no reason why ha
ahould be characterised aa houllle. Hu
doesn't know, that's all. And the same ;
will be true of other witnesses."
- The court .replied that such, at any rate,
was. hla conclusion. Mr. Connell insisted
the witness was not hostile, but only cau
tious. ,

The cross-examination of Walter Wills, 1
formerly secretary of the Omaha Coal ex
change, failed to disclose anything of a
startling nature yesterday afternoon. Wills
aaid he received schedules of prices from
each coal dealer In the. exchange at cer
tain times and that he made out an official
price list, taking the lowest price quoted
by any dealer on A given grade of coal
and making that fnc official price ef ths
exchsngs. These printed lists he dis
tributed to all who wanted them. He
said any member could change his price
at any time, but thla change had' to be
acted upon by the members of the ex
change before It could become official. He
aaid It was alao hla duty to aee that no
dealers gave short weight or dealt In In- .
ferior coaL
A queatlon by Mr. English asking
whether It waa not hla duty to See that
no soliciting was dons and no prices cut
wss strongly objected to and the court
sustained the objection.
Henry E. Oatrom, formerly secretary of
the exchange, followed Mr. Wills in testi
fying. Me wss unable to Identify any -of
the signatures attached to the constitution
and bylaws of the exchange. Th county
attorney threatened to subpoena all the
men Indicted to Identify their slgnaturea,
and after acme consultation among the at
torneya ior the defense It waa admitted
the signatures were what they purported
to b and genuine.
