WOULD CURB POWER OF COURT Senator Ransom Has Bill to Prevent Redaction of Death Sentence. (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, Jan. 13.-(SpeclaL)-Th sit prem court will be ' shorn of whatever power It possesses to reduce ths sentence of prisoners condemned to dl if a bill by Senator Ransom, Introduced as senate file No. 47 becomes a law. Th measure will be of especial interest to Omaha people, In view of the action of the court In com muting the death penalty Imposed upon Jay O'Hearn. In 1888, while Governor Thayer held the reins of government, thera was a brutal murder In Antelope county, a man named Brown having killed his wife and thrown her body In a well. The murderer was prosecuted and sentenced to be hanged, and while ths case was pending the su preme court, under the authority of a sec tion of the criminal code, commuted the sentenoe from death to life Imprisonment Governor Thayer claimed tlio right to Issue all pardons and commutation under the constitution and he wa much exercised. "The governor sent for me," said Sena tor Ransom, "and asked me to Introduce a bill that would repeal the law under which the court acted, and I put In a measure that repealed the clause of thn code. The bil never came out of the engrossing and enrolling committee for aome reason ot other, and the matter ha never been taken up since that time. "In my opinion the danger to the public Is largely from failure to execute sen fences for murder, snd there should be every legal provision that they bs carried out." Ths section reads: "That in all criminal cases that now are or may hereafter be pending in the su preme court on error, the said court may reduce the sentence rendered by the dis trict court against the accused, when In their opinion the sentence Is excessive, and It shall be the duty of said supreme court to render such sentence against ths ac cused as In their opinion may be war ranted by the evidence." enate file 46, by Hansom, provides for the session of ths licensing board granting liquor licenses sixty days before January L or the date th licenses take effect. The aim la to accommodate all remonstrants before th time the license is granted snd to avoid If possible sorts of the legal en langiemenis mat ioiiow th present method.

IWEARIHO THAI HAS GONE Plavee Hnnters Leave Lobhlen Mere Than Learal Namhes ot EmaIeyee. (From a Btaff Correspondent) LINCOLN. Neb.. Jan. U.- Special.) "Ths swearing train must havs gone," re marked Rev. L P. Ludden today as he viewed the deserted lobby ot one ot the hotels which baa been thronged with appU cants for position. The train had pulled out several hours before as a matter of fact, for In both ouae and senate the committee On fm- ploye had made their report and reduced th alia of the Job huntera by many doiena. The annate already haa mora employee than th atatutea provide, the legal num ber being fixed at a round doaen leaa than already appointed. Bealdea, the aenate ha given employes pay from the flrat day of the sesalon, whereas many have not yet been sworn In, and there la not work for half of them to do who are on the ground. creating jobs ron mxcnr Bill te Increase the Number of Oil Inspectors. (From Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 11 (Special.) The eco nomical democratic legislature started off well today by taking the flrat steps for the creation of another office. Arthur Mullen, maid In waiting to Gov ernor Bhallenberger, chief oil Inspector, wants another deputy, so he asked for him. Armstrong of Buffalo Introduced a bill providing for an additional oil Inspector to be paid $100 a month and expenses. For many years five deputies have been con sidered a sufficient crowd to sit around and draw pay without anyone getting lone some, but Mullen concluded he needs one more In the crowd. Or perhaps he haa a lieutenant who needs the money. In order to pay the extra man Mr. Mul len's bill Increases the charge to be made for the Inspection of oil to 16 cents a barrel lots of more than ten barrels and 25 cents a barrel In lots less than ten barrels. Under the present rates the oil office has paid to the state something like 115,000 dur ing the last blennlum above the cost. Should the new bill become a law thera will be a deputy oil Inspector for each con gressional district, besides Mr. Mullen, the big chief. The bill also provides a stenog rapher, who does all the work in the office. GOSSIP OF THE LEGISLATURE Senntor My era Frond of HI Work Fourteen Years Ago. (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, Jan. 13. (Special.)-nator Myers of Rock county was a member of the legislature fourteen yeara ago and when In the house he took a prominent part In the election of Speaker Richard. At that time he was chairman of the committee on irrigation at a time when the question was new and when there was the big irrigation ditch bill to draft He had never aeen an Irrigation ditch In operation and has not yet, he says, yet he was at the head of this committee, and the legislature passed measure that has stood the test of the courts since that time. "I had some diffi culty In making Speaker Richards recog nize my claims to this committee," said the senator, "tor there waa a good deal of pres sure brought to bear on him for the place, but I feel rather justified In what I did, since the law enacted has proved success ful." Colonel Myers heads the militia com mittee this time. At last a solution of the proper way to place a mechanics' lien on a well ha been found. It la not to pull up the hole In the ground, but to look the pump and seal the lock, " Douglas county member are getting their bill In early, for they evidently foresee that the Inevitable outcome of the course pursued will lead to a few hitches In the program.

SCOTT a BOWNE, 409 Pssrl St, K T. d 1 i PANEL IS FIXED, SAYS ENGLISH Twenty lien Discharged After State ment of County Attorney. FOUR ASKED TO GET OS A TOBY Case at Hand la Trial of J. J. Wet more, Indicted on Chnrsre of Jrylna- to Bribe City Prosecutor Daniel, "That panel hss born fixed In advance snd I won't proceed with this case until w come to aome conclusion," was ths startling statement of County Attorney English In ths trial of the case of J. J. Wetmore, the self-styled detective, who Is charged by Indictment ot the last grand Jury with attempt to bribe City Prosecutor Dar.lel. Judge Sears finally, after an Investiga tion, discharged the entire panel snd Is sued a venire for a panel of twenty-five other men, who, the judge said, "do not solicit places on Juries." The case came up for trial In district court Wednesday. A panel of twenty name had been drawn from which to select the jury. When Mr. English made his statement he did rot sccuss sny ons In particular of having done ths "fixing," but merely made the sweeping assertion that the panel had been fixed. The court then stepped proceedings until en Investigation could be made. Ira Flan t'Cgan, deputy sheriff, testified that three individuals had applied for place on the panel and were granted them. He named Ben Keegan, Michael Kin a. Dug A. Davis and John Kane. One of the three, how ever, mado application to one of the other constables. Connell Makes Statement. W. J. Connell, the attorney for Wet- more, said these men had been hanging around the court house and had asked to be placed, not on the panel from which this particular Jury waa to be drawn, but merely bd given an opportunity to do jury service. The state law prohibits application being made by anyone to sit upon a juiy and at taches a fine as a penalty fo rthose who ask for jury service. This law was pointed out to County Attorney English, but he said he could not say att hi time whether the four applicants for positions on the Wetmore Jury will be prosecuted or not "eW sre not In the habit of having four or five Irons In the fire at a time," said the county attorney," and until we have finished this bribery case, in which we are now engaged nothing will be done toward prosecuting these would-be Jurymen, should this department decide to bring action." When the county attorney was asked if he Intended to prosecute Keegan, King, Davis and Kane, he asked "Why?" When he was told that the four men had vio lated the state law and that there yas a statute provision against asking for places on a Jury he feigned surprise and said, "Is there?" He was then pointed out the law, which Is section 72&S of the statutes ot Nebraska for 19u&, and reads as follows: Any person who shall seek the position of Juror or who shall aay any attorney or omer oiiicer oi me court, or otner person to secure hi selection as a Juryman, ahall be deemed guilty of a contempt of court, and be fined not exceeding IZ0 and shall thereby be disqualified from serving a a juror lor that term, and such fact snail be suiiicient grouna tor challenge. An Hour's Recess Tnken. When he discharged the first jury panel and issued orders for an entirely new panel, Judge Bears adjourned court for ons hour on a plea ot abatement made by counsel for the defense. At the expiration of this time the bailiffs had secured the new panel, whom the Judge dismissed until Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock. Th court requested that the name of the member of the new panel be kept from publication until the Jury had been se eded. DEATH RECORD. Mr. Lois A. Gilbert. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Jan. 18. (Spe cial.)
