(Prom a BtMf Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. ' 2a (Special.) Mayor Dahlman and Colftnet Fannlna- have camped on the trail of the DouRlaa dele gation for almost twenty-four hours and left for Omaha this' afternoon feeling well pleased with the 'progress made toward sncurlhg" a mayor appointed police board of Omaha. In fact, "the mayo? has almost aotdlly lined up the house delegation. though eo far the. senators are Inclined to duck mm. "I favor an appointive police board for Omaha,"- said the mayor because I am satisfied the city will get a better class of men than it will If the board IS elected. I would go further and inslat that the city engineer should be appointed by the mayor. In fact, the city attorney should be ap pointed, but Inasmuch as this officer la now elected, It la perhaps well enough to let that part of the charter alone. I am particularly Interested In the ap pointive police board. If the legislature provides for an elective board the brewers will absolutely dominate the board because few men of standing in tha cltv win m to the trouble of securing a nomination and then an election for the salary which goes witn the place. "If the mayor appoints them, then he Is abaolutely reeponalble. But I will gay this. I would rather have the governor appoint tnan have an elective police commission. The elective commission means that the firemen and the police will be dragged Into politics at every election. For ten vearn the fire department has been put of poli tics and it would be the worst thing that could happen for the efficiency of the de partment if It la again dragged into politics. The same Is tftie of 'ihe police department. loei sure tnat file legislature will not give us a charter that will provide for the Drawers to control the police and the fir. departments to make them political root balls.'"' --'i. "ThoeeJ who favor the elective nollco com mission are not consistent." said Colonel Fanning. "Tliep should inalst that the Park bbard e elseem,' the' boiler Inspector, the Inspectors of JiwlgtiU and measures and all we otfwotflcera who are now appointed." mayor vsniman and Colonel Fannlna- heM a Jeng session' with the house delegation this morning following a visit to the gov ernor. be located, the driveways and grounds and the. trees which have already been set eut. tn three years, the time of Its existence, this school has had S.000 pupils, and for the present year It has l.ono. the largest growth of any normal school In the country. Representatives Armstrong and Barrett expect little trouble In getting the ap propriation bill through tha house, for they seem to think there Is a good senti ment In favor of the appropriation. Inas much as Kearney was cut off last rear from erecting any buildings. Governor Shallenberger has expressed himself ss fa voting liberal appropriations for the schools of the state, and this, these representatives believe. Insures the appropriation Insofar as the veto power Is concerned. Pr. Thomas was here today, but he announced that he thought It unnecessary for any lobbying to be done to receive favorabl action on the measure. Mr. Thomas said the school would take what the legists, ture gave It and do the best he could, though he hoped the bill would go through without a cut. KIG BILL TO COMB VP EARLY Meaaajre Bstendla Oaaranty t Na tional Buks to Be rm4, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. . (Special.) One of the first measures to be considered In committee of the whole In the senate will be the King bill memorialising congreaa to take action that will permit the national banks of the state to take advantage of the guaranty law. There appears to be no opposition to this among the majority, as their platform provides that a bank guaranty law shall be passed that will give national banks a chance to take ad vantage of It if they so desire The senate standing committees have re ported five or six bills to the general file and have postponed one Senator Hat fluld's game bill, which closed the season on prairie chickens for four years. The debate on the game bill Introduced by Senator King, which Is now on general file, will be somewhat extended probably. Senator King sought to prevent shooting at game from blinds, but Oajrte Warden Carter appeared before the committee op posed to this, and the committee took his advice. "You can't pasa a bill In opposition to the game warden," remarked Bcnator King after the committee had finished doctoring up his measure. ROUTINE PROCEEDINGS OF HOUSE faaaaa.BBaBB.

No one district will be permlted to draw from the state mora than (320 In one year. Should the amount of the appropriation not be sufficient to give the required sum to each school district needing help, then It will be the duty of the stste superintendent to prorate the money between districts. This bill la aimed to directly assist the districts In the western part of the stste. It was enscted Into raw two years ago as an experiment and the one-half mill levy, which for years had been levied for the school fund wss abolished.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 30 (Special.) Sen ator Randall, who prided himself on being the recipient of a bouquet of flowers be cause of his introduction of a bill giving women the right to vote in municipal elec tions was made the butt of a practical Joke by the other members from his section of the state. It develops that the fund with which to buy the posies was sub scribed by the representatives from his territory and a few others, who secured one or the stenographers or the legisla ture to Indite a note of appreciation, which was sent unsigned, but of sufficiently ap preciative tenor to make the senator feel rather gratified at Us reception. He was not allowed, to find out the truth of the Incident until a considerable time had elapsed and It Is said he now doubts whether the Jokers are telling him the straight of It. WOULD NULL THE CHARTER Massachusetts Atlorner General De clares New Haven Road Has Forfeited Right. BOSTON, Jan. 20. The Massaphusetts charter of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad Is declared to be subject to forfeiture in the annual report of At torney General Malone to the Maa'sachu setts legislature presented today, because of the action of the railroad tn merging with the Consolidated Railway company of Connecticut, and Increasing Its capital stock. The attorney general declares that the merger expressly violated the general rail road law of Massachusetts. Because the question Involved Is one not only of law, but of policy and because in nocent Investors are involved the attorney general says he has hesitated to bring for feiture proceedings in the supreme court and as he has advised the legislature to de termine what action shall be taken It rests with that body either to legalise the acts of the railroad company or to revoke the charter.

Wetmore. charged with attempting to bribe City rrosocutor Herbert S. Daniel. It was 4:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the Jury retired to consider the case. and it was 11:30 o'clock when they an nounced that they had agreed on a verdict. About 11 o'clock those who were watching the case decided that no verdict would be returned until morning, and the officers of the court wets preparing to leave the court house whin they were Informed that a de cision hsd been reached by the Jury. Judge Sears, who was st the Merchants hotel, was notified, snd came at once to the district rourt room to receive the verdict. When the verdict of -"Not guilty" had been read by ths clerk the court scathingly arraigned the members of the Jury, saying that It was not - possible for him to con ceive how such a verdict could have been reached In the face of the evidence. "There Is no greater menace to our Institutions," said the Judge, "than efforts to destroy by bribery the Integrity of public officers." The Jury was discharged without the thanks of the court and the defendant was set at liberty. Daniel took the result philosophically, although disappointed, and went to work trying appeal cases from police court. "I don't care to discuss the verdict," was all he would say Wednesday. "I am not In the habit of discussing ver dicts," said County Attorney English. "I shall follow my rule In this esse and keep to myself the thoughts I have on the sub ject." Mr. English said eo far as he was con cerned The esse Is ended and no other per sons mentioned In any of ' the testimony would be disturbed.
