DIETRICH AT THE CAPITOL

TALKS OF POSTAL SAVINGS BILL

Flaal.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. (Special Trie
gram.) Ex-Senator Dietrich of Nebraska
was warmly welcomed by his old friends
in the senate today when he made his ap
pearance on the floor of that body. Sen
ator Dietrich arrived in Washington yes
terday on a short visit to his daughter,
Mrs. Herbert Knox Smith, formerly Miss
Grrtrude Dietrich.
Senator Dietrich ia an earnest advocate
of postal savings banks and believes if
there Is a broad provision in the bill cre
ating audi banks as to the redepoait of
money thus deposited in the commercial
banks it would bring to light millions of
dollars now in strong boxes, in safety de
posit vaults, in cellars and garrets and In
stockings, the volume of money to do busi
ness being thereby greatly increased. He
thought it might work a hardship, on trust
companies and private banks, but believed
it would bring added stability to the busi
ness world. His examination into the meth
ods of postal savings banka of foreign
countries made him an exponent of such
institutions tn this country.
Senator Dietrich had little to say of the
Nebraska political situation except to give
It as his opinion that Bryan would decide
to make the race for the senate, in which
event the prairies would be on fire and
smii a fight put up aa the old Antelope
state has not seen for many years. As for
the present legislature he expects to see ii
make the proverbial democratic mistakes.
Governor Dietrich will go to Philadel
phia from htre, returning hqme the last
of next week.
Bill to Drain Indian ljids.

previously presented to the house by

j funds remaining to the credit of the Omaha
i irioe any assessments wnii.ii may ub mtiue
by any drainage district In Nebraska on
tribal l&nds of the Omahas to protect such
lands from overflow.
This bill has the recommendation of the
secretary of the interior and is urged by
the commissioner of Indian affairs. It is
especially urged by these officials that the
bill be promptly enacted aa it would, they
assert, probably result In the saving of
this year's corps In sections subject to
overflows.
Minor Matters at Capital.
