There have been col lision and manlfestants In several of th rynlrt thoroughfare and these resulted In numerous arrests. Dpeerh at Von Buelow. Prince von Buelow began hi remarks by admitting that the system required re form. The government had been studying the question for a long time, but ho did not yet know exactly what direction the reform would take, whether Improvement In th present system, or a complete al teration en othef fines. Manhood suf frage. it exists for the Reichstag, however.4-would not Ik for - the ' sruort of the v state and secret voting would not be permitted.

As soon a the position of the government was ready it would be communicated to tho L,ndfag, but the chancellor did not expect It would bo ut this session. Prince von Buelow concluded bis remarks amid, a storm of hisses and cheers. Prince von Buelow declared that the conservative party would not permit the solid foundntlon of the Prussian elective system to be shaken, and this statement was subscribed to by . Herr Malkewltx, spokesman for the party. On the other hand, Herr Porsch, speaker for the center party, said he waa In favor of manhood suffrage. , . Herr II rails of the national liberals was In favor of reform In the electoral system, but not manhood suffrage. . Herr Flsrhbeck, leader of the radical liberals, said, be would not rest until man hood suffrage had been granted. ' The motion for manhood suffrage was rejected wkhout a division. Present Electoral System. t'nder tho present electoral system In Prussia there are three classes of electors. 'p to the present time the laboring ninn bus been completely deprived of represen tation In the Prussian Parliament owing to the Tact that he was overwhelmed nt tho final election by the other two classes. The categories of electors ure formed ar bitrarily by dividing the total nmnont of taxation received by tliv' stale. Into throe equal parts. A small number of wealthy persona, paying the first third of the tola! of taxation, select a certain number of Wen from their ranks to uet ns final vot ers; a more extended number of less wealthy persons, who pay the next third of the full umount of taxation, choose an equal number of final elector, while tho tli'rd class of voters, composed of the re mainder of the populntion, and iiu'ludlnjj the workmen, whose numbers reaisto the millions, are allowed to elecf a number of final voters equal to thai chosen by each of the other two claases. The total number of final electors selected by this process then proceed to cast the final vole, at which the representatives of the two first named classes always vole solidly tdgethcr, thus shutting out any pos sibility of the election of a representative 4f the working classes. prince von Buelow, the Imperial chan cellor, baa made known his Intention of pcnklng on thin cubject during Hie debate which Is to follow the presentation of the Interpellation.

The police were still trying to maintain order when ITInce von Buelow drove up. HI presence was greeted with long and . Ironical cheers, accompanied by much hoot ing and slitiuls or: "We want manhood suf frage."

"Turning to the building of the Southern Missouri railroad, I will ask you If the Chicnqo National bank was In the business of building railroads?" "Tho Illinois Southern was building the Mlssiuirl extension." "Didn't the bank furnish the money?" "Yes. The bank had an Interest In the Illinois Southern, and I though the eMen alon would be a good thing for the road and that It would be a good thing for the bank." "Did you think the securities of the roads given as collateral for the advances of money were safe and good?" "T never did anything In my life that I didn't think was all right."

Asked whether It wss his intention as president of the bank to keep on buying tho bonds of the railroad so that the ex tension could be built, Mr. Walsh replied: "I Intended to get the road in shape so that It could be sold and then the bank could get out of It."

CONTRACTORS SEIZE OPPORTUNITY Cement and Lumber Are ow aa Low la Price aa the Local Dealera Expect Them t Be Thla Year. Open winter weather has been worth many thousands of dollars to builders, con tractors and property owners of Omaha during the last six weeks. Besides being able to push buildings to completion the contractors have gained much because ef the low mark on material prices. Another advantage Is In keeping' the worklngmen employed all winter and retaining them In Omaha to begin work In "gangs" when spring opens. One of 'the notable advantages gained by" the open weather Is noted on the construc tion of the new Henshaw hotel. Thla building Is being made of cement, fire brick and terra cotta. Thla building has had three stories and the walls added since winter opened. One slight cold snap de layed work on this building In early De cember, but It lasted less than a week. The slightest freezing weather would have slopped work with the cement. But It has been so mild that It haa set perfectly. To the builders of tho Henshaw hotel alone the weather haa been of great value. It will be opened from a month to six weeks earlier than If the season had been normal and cold weather delayed the work. "I was In Dundee yesterday." said C. C. George, "and tho store buildings and resi dences started lute In that suburb have been practically completed since the time for cold weather. The open winter has been worth many thousands of dollars." Cement Pall In Price. "Since last May the price of cement tin been dropping off 5 and 10 cent per month," said II. G. Krani of the Bowman Krani Lumber company. "I believe It Is now at its low poinl. I do not see how it can be sold for a cent lower than at pres ent. As It Is, the manufacturer is receiv ing only about $1 per barrel. The freight is about ) cents on the average for bar rels weighing 400 pounds. The wholesaler arid retailer must have some profit, and it must be more than 10 cents per barrel, as the cement must be delivered In most cases to where it is being used by contractors. "If the manufacturers are compelled to make cement for $1 per barrel very long I fear they will cloBe down and wait. for a higher prfce." Cement is selling in mall quantities for around S1.76 per barrel. In large quantities It may be secured for 11.50. It sold at S2.25 per barrel during the early summer of 107. Lumbermen do not anticipate a decline In southern pine prices unless the northern market falls $." to 18 per thousand below the present price, when it would come Into competition with the southern lumber. A short time ago the' Minneapolis dealers quoted northern lumber at from fli to S3 lower per '.thousand, but such a decline did not cause )any competition between north orn and outhern lumbir. . . j -. - Dealers believe that all lumber Is 'now at Its low mark. The northern mill are not manufacturing the lumber which ,they usually do at thla season of the year, while the absence of snow in the northern forests has made logging difficult and Impossible In lfhiny plat!es. Only the mills which have railroads to haul out their logs have been enabled to manufacture an average output. GOULD STICKST0 OPINION Washington Court, In Ruck Boycott Case, Will Not Yield to Labor Leaders, WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Justice Gould of the supreme court of tho District of Columbia overruled ft motion made bj the American Federation of Labor to amend the court's order In the case of tho Buck Stove and Range company of St. Louis, In which the court recently temporarily en- Joined the federation from placing the cony pany on a boycott and unfair Hat in the federation publications. The motion of the Federation contended that the order was erroneous because It was made to run until tho final decree In the case Instead of until the further order of the. court; beoause It may be construed to enjoin the defendants from uniting to agree not to patronize plaintiff's products; or construed to prevent the defendants and their associates from saying to others that they had united and combined not to patronize such products; or construed to enjoin their announcing that they had combined not to deal with others who should deal with the. com pany. The motion also contended that the order abridges freedom of speech of all the defendants and freedom of the press, "which Is protected by the first amend ment of the constitution of the I'nlted States." The court decides that It would not alter tho order In any way. STUDY. REQUIREMENTS SEVERE President of Smith College Declare Poor tilrl Mls Kdocatlon and Marriage. NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Jan. 10. That severe entrance examinations prevent many poor girls from obtaining a college educa tion and later marriage is stated In the annual report of President L. Clark Sccly of Smith college. In part, the president says: "Most of the able men come from the poorer classes; it would be both a public and private calamity if It should become harder for poor boys and girls of ability to gain the mental culture they desire. It Would be a still greater loss if by postpon ing the time of graduation, family life should be Impaired. The longer marriage Is delayed tho less likely men are to marry. A college education should not contribute to the tendency to celibacy. An Inferior abllty of scholarship produced where the pupil 1 hurried over so much ground that one study soon obliterate the Impression made by another.

Indictment numbering K9 against persons, most of whom are engaged In theatrical work, charged with violating the state law of 1835, which forbids unnecessary labor on Sunday, were returned by th grand Jury today. Many of the Indicted persops are nonresident actors, who will either have to return here for trial or forfeit their bonds of 1300 each. The action of the grand Jury today wa a heavy blow to the theatrical managers, because each manager waa Indicted as many times as he had actors and employes wrorklnsj t lyla theater, last Sunday, on the theory that tho employer violates tha law for forcing his employe to work a much as does the employe by working on Sunday. For each Indictment the manager must supply a bond of $200. Under the new plan the total amount of bond money Is twice as much as It ha been heretofore. The determination of Judge William H. Wallace of the criminal court to forfeit the bonds of defendants who fail to appear for trial makes it more difficult to secure bondsmen. The persons Indicted today will appear and plea tomorrow. The grand Jury Indicted today Thomas B Broadnax, president, and Frank E.
