DAIILMABf WH HOi:B MEMBERS
Senator Hold Oat for Elective Pn.
i lleo Commission.
(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

Inspectors of JiwlgtiU and measures and all

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.

(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.

The bill provides . that the count .super
intendent shall report Uf the etSjtt superin
tendent before the first Monday in October
every district in bis county which, though
levying the maximum amount, authorised
by law. Is unable to raise sufficient money
to conduct the six months' term of school.
It Is then tbs duty of the state superin
tendent to certify these districts to the'
state treasurer and for the state auditor
to draw his warrant for the use of 'each
district. 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. The reports on

demonstrated that the aid to weak district

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.

Vlgroroaa Plena of Cowaael for
State Ssektnsr Conviction
of the Accused.
'Not guilty." wss the verdict of the Jury
In the trial of John J. 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. '
