If the half-elliptic springs on your tourinir were each

half-elliptic springs absorb perpendicular ahocka only, whereat
the full-elliptic springs on the Franklin take up the road shock,

CONNOR WILL FIGHT IS ON
Girl Witness for Five Hours in
$400,000 Suit.
ORIGINAL TESTAMENT IS G0NZ
rrepenenta, WW Are Board of Trna
teee to Kilikllik Pnrerhinl Schools,
Offer Copy of Will Whlek
Decedent Had Drawn Vp.
Miss Grace Cook Connor sat five hours
In the witness chair yesterday in the first
(lay's hearing of the Connor will case. She
Is the Adopted daughter of Joseph A. Con
nor and one of the principal witnesses In
the contrst which Involves an estate of
HnO.000.
Mliis Connor was called by the propo
nent, who are the board of truatees named
by Connor In the copyof the will he had
drawn up in May, 1908, this board to estab
lish parochial schools with the bulk of
the estate. Miss Connor, who Is not a
legal heir, and her aunt, Mrs. Ellen O'Con
nor, sister of the decedent each being loft
SS.W) and other sisters smaller sums.
In the effort to break the will Miss Con
nor's testimony Is of Importance for the
respondents as well as the proponents and
when C. J. 8myth had finished a long
scries of questions County Attorney Eng
lish for the allied relatives, quizzed her at
length.
What Happened 1e Will Important.
The case hinges about the disposition
Crnnor made of the will drawn up for him
by Attorney Edward Ihtffle. This has not
. turned up .despite, diligent search and te
lawyers for the proponents Bishop Bcan
nell and the other trusteea, have offered a
cory in lis stead. There is a presumption
of law that Connor destroyed this testa
ment and the lawyers trying to get the
copy admitted to probate will argue that It
was highly Improbable that ha would have
so acted since this would have left Miss
Connor without a penny, for she never was
legally adopted aa his child. Miss Connor
has Jelnrd with the slaters of the decedent
in a post mortem agreement to share ajlke
in the estate and It the will Is broken will
get one-fourth.
Connor Expected" to Recover.
The testimony swung round and round
Connor's last Illness. It was brought out
by Attorney James I. English for the rela
tives that Connor expected to recover and
would therefore, have made another will.
Also that he was left alone during his
Illness, which was not deemed serious by
himself or the other members of the house
hold, and therefore could have had a
chance to destroy the miasing document.
Smyth on return examination developed
the fact that the Intervals during which
Connor was left alone were not longer
than twenty minutes at a time.
Connor had the will making habit In
acute form, according to the attorneys of
the natural heirs of the decedent and
the development of thla fact may have an
important bearing on the outcome of the
case. What purports to be his hut ' will
' and testament left the bulk of his property
to the board of trustees.
rive lawyer, half a dozen immediately
interested women and a large number of
i-asual spectators occupied 'testa when
Constanllne J. Smyth for the proponents
made his opening address. He and Edward
r. Smith represent Bishop Bcannell and
the other trustees named In the will, al
leged to have been left by Connor.
LawrtH Oat la Farce.
The natural belrs had three attorneys
present. County Attorney English, Judge
Sullivan and E. R. Maher of Chicago. An,
unkind spectator, viewing the glittering
array of legal talent, was moved to re
mark cynically that It takea a big will
taae to bring th bar out In force.
Edward Duffle, an attorney, was the first
witness, for the church s side. II drew up
th will In question and produced the copy
W It through which th proponents hope to
prove their case. The original, which was
signed tn Edward's office, Connor him
self retained, and it has utterly disap
peared. Duffy testified that th copy was
Identical with the original and that It had
been in his possession, ever sine May 1(,
108, when Connor signed th other paper.

He deposed that the testator was of sound
mind and that he clearly knew he was
making his will.
Mrs. Carrie A. Dennis, the stenographer
who made the will and the copy, testified
to the Identity of the copy. Mrs. Dennis,
who was a willing witness for th propo
nents, is a comely young woman, whose
presence illuminated th somber court
room, while she was on the stsnd. She
wore a picture hat of red, trimmed with
a red bird of brilliant plumage, a gray
tailor-made gown and a blue four-ln-hand
scarf, completing her costume. The vivid
color of the hat was Iri contrast with the
black gowns of the other women In th

GENEVIEVE STARTS ROMANCE
New "I.ady" Boarder Introduces A. D.
T. Boy to the Sheet Masle
Girl.
"I was wandering around In a big dry
goods store early Monday morning when I
was attracted by a young woman In the
music department who was hammering out
rag time by the yard to a crowd of spell
bound spectators," said Miss Genevieve,
the new boarder. She waa at the same
time working wonders with a mouth full
of gum, automatically keeping time to her
playing.
" 'Gee, ain't she Just great?" vouchsafed
small youth at my elbow. He was really
not addressing me, but I was killing time
and her waa a bright A. D. T. boy who
looked talkative.
" 'A friend of yours?" I Inquired.
"A broad grin overspread his counten
ence. "
" 'Nop, but gee, I wish t knowed her.
Bey, maybe she' on your calling list.
and you'll tip ma off to an introduce or
whatch you call it."
" 'Well, no,' I replied, 'I am not ac
quainted with th lady, but maybe t can
help you out.'
"So when our pianist ran down, I asked
her If It wasn't a bit ratlguing, playing
as much as she did.
" 'No,' she answered, goodnaturedly, 'It
gets sort of mechanlcal-Uke after a while.'
"I mentally affirmed this as the truth.
" 'You do not know me.' lwent on, 'but
I have bought mualo of you now and then
and have often listened to your concerts.
There is another ardent admirer of yours
who is not ss bold as I am. May I In
troduce him?'
",'8ire,' she .answered. Oh, you mean
that kid,' as my eyes glanced towards the
blushing A. D. T. 'Say, he s hanging
around here all the time, so I suppose I
might as well aay he's not a friend of
mine, anyway.'
"That, was all the Introduction there
was, the youth needing no further ad
vances On her part. In a moment they
were chatting like old college chums, and
I was left out In the cold.
"Having done my duty, and not being
needed any longer, moved on to th book
department, wandering what sort of a
romance I had started."

MOVING THE PIE COUNTER
Bill to Put Printing: of Amendments
in Hands of Governor.
WARM DEBATE OYER KEASTJRE
Reasons Iksws HI Sere "net la HI
Reference te the Secretary f
tat Peareraln Ahetrart
f State Vote.
(Worn a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jan. 25. -(Special.) "Th first
art of th senat ia then to be a bill to
enlarge th scop of th pie counter," ex
claimed Senator King this afternoon as th
majority members made known their In
tention to recommend for passage Senator
Tanner's bill giving the governor th right
to designate the newspapers that arc to
print all constitutional amendments.
Consideration of 'the messure had been
spirited and a number of speeches had
been made from a partisan standpoint. In
which the three senators from Douglas
county all participated. The vot was
strictly along party line.
S. F. 15, by Tanner of Douglas, waa th
measure under consideration. It mrly re
enacts the law slightly amended under
which at present th secretary of state
says what newspapers In a county shall
for three months before election publish
th constitutional amendments as notice to
voters. The purpose was briefly stated by
the South Omaha senator, when King of
Tolk rose to declare it waa plain, since
the governor was of the same political
faith of Mr. Tanner, there was not enough
pie to go around. He moved to postpone
the bill Indefinitely.
"The governor in hie campaign visit th
entire state." said , Tanner, "and in th
course of his Journeytngs learns th map
like a book and meeta the newspaper men
and knows them all. This duty does not
devolve upon the secretary of state, henc
the chief executive is the one to say which
n&wspepers shall perform the duty for the
people."
King replied it was an innovation to taks
from the secretary of state the duty he
has always performed, with no better
reason than to secure more political pelf.
, Tanner suggested there wsa nothing
scandalous In the request for4, the passage
of the bill.
"Am you the owner of a newspaper?"
asked Senator King.
'Yes," replied Tanner.
"Then why Is this not In th Interest
of somebody?" asked th Polk county
mem tier.
"Because I will not print th amend
ments," replied Mr. Tannr.
This attack upon Douglas county
brought Senator Ransom to his feet and
he said the motive behind the bill might
be that the secretary of state was be
coming too all-powerful for the good of
the commonwealth. "He has set up a
stand between the legislature and th en
forcement of the law already," said th
senator.
Mr. Ransom thought the governor, no
matter what his politics, was the head of
the party In the state and as such was
a larger man than any officers under
him. Whether republican or democrat,
the governor was better fitted to des
ignate what newspapers should print th
amendments than the other officers.
"Why, the secretary of state has defied
the legislature already," said the senator.
"The request for certified copies of the
returns on the vote on th constitutional
amendment was met by his placing the
oldest man-in his office on the Job and he
has turned out four copies of county returns
In five days. We offered to give him help
and he refused."
"You offered him senate employes, I pre
sume," said Senator King.
"Yes," admitted Mr. Ransom.
The bill was finally amended in an im
material manner on motion of Senator Tib
bets and In committee of the whole the mo
tion to postpone was lost 11 to IS.
Myers of Rock moved to designate the
secretary of state and the governor should
act Jointly In designating the papers and
made a fight for the proposition later be
fore the senate, but the plan failed by a
strict party vote.

of the O'Neill High school in a debet upon
th compulsory arbitration question as ap
plied to railroads. This waa one of th de
batea of the High School Debating league
of the atate. Atkinson upheld the affirma

one of the most hotly contested ever held
in Atkinson and th decision waa in doubt
until th very last. Atkinson won out on

superior to that of O'Neill. Th champion

Changing the Elkhora IMver.
ARLINGTON. Neb.. Jan. 26. (Special. )
The plan to change the Elkhorn river by
straightening It has caused much Interest
her. A number of those living along this
river announce that they will try to have
th river turned Into Rawhide creek at a
point near th Maynan bridge, four miles
northwest of this place. This would let the
water flow through the lowest psrt of the
valley and it would be a short cut to the
Platte. The ground la higher along th
Elkhorn than It 1 back from th river. It
la thought that thl plan will be recom
mended by th government surveyors,
should the government undertake the work.
It Is claimed by those familiar with ditch
ing that it would cost less to follow the
Rawhide, and would be better, as this
creek flow through low land and the banks
would not wash as the soil is mostly
gumbo.

TAFT ON TARIFF COMMISSION
Simply Body to Collect Information
on Coat of Production at Heme

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26.-Pres1dent-elect
Taft haa written a second letter In
reference to the creation of a' permanent
tariff commission to the committee on ar
rangements ot the National- Tariff com
mission convention, which meets her Feb
ruary 16 to 18. His first letter endorsed
th proposed convention and its object. The
second letter follows:
You have asked me to come to your meet
ing, but It wilt be impossible for me to
come. My las' letter to you, which has
been published, has evidently given rise to
some misconstruction and I. have written
the following to Mr. Payne, chairman of the
ways and meana committee of the house,
which I hope makea a little clearer what I
meantln my letter to you:
"My Dear Mr. Payne: I have your letter.
A tariff commission would be harmful or
useful as its functions were prescribed in
the bill. My two Ideas have been that
there ought to be a permanent commission
of tariff experts to keep themselves advised
by all means possible of the cost of pro
ducing the articles named In the schedules,
in foreign countries and in this country. I
think what we lack Is evidence and some
such meana might well be used for the pur
pose of securing It. I should be the last
to advocate a commission with any power
to fix rates tf that were constitutional, aa
it would not be or with any function other
than that of furnishing the evidence to con
gress upon which from time to time it
might act."

LINCOLN, Jan. . W. J. Bryan in a
statement tonight, explained his attitude
toward and connection with a Joint reso
lution Introduced last week In the Ne
braska legislature providing for a school of
cltlcenshlp In the University of Nebraska.
Th resolution was Introduced by Senator
Miller of Lancaster county, and Mr. Bryan
says h Inspired I Introduction, but adds
that he hss no pecuniary Interest In the
matter, and that whatever lectures h may
deliver will, be without compenaatlon. Mr.
Bryan said, in part:
"During the last few years increasing at
tention has been given all over the coun
try to the study of government, sociology
and cltlcenshlp. Nebraska has kept abreast
of the times, but our state should take the
lead and focus attention upon th studies
that especially prepare the students for the
proper discharge of the duties of cltlcen
shlp. We ought to be able to attract stu
dents from other countries, and how can
we better help the orient and the repub
lics to the south of us than by educating
the more ambitious of their young men,
and sending them back to apply American
Ideas and Ideals In the working out of the
problems that confront their people?"

Omaha Report will be received at this
meeting and the best method of inter
esting eastern capital will be discussed.
Dr. H. H. Maynard, financial aecre
tary, spoke at Lowe Avenue Presbyterian
church yesterday, prefacing his aermon
with aome remarks about the plana for
th University of Omaha. He said the
general plan for the present waa to raise
(500,000 as a starter, 1200,000 in Omaha
and vicinity and $300,000 abroad.
'You give ua the $200,000 and we guar
antee you we will get the $300,000," he
said. "In twenty-flv year of thl ex
perlcnce I have never found in all this
lan a place offering such advantages for
a school of this sort a Omaha offers,
and If the people do not embrace this
opportunity and make th most of the
advantages they will be losing the
chance of a lifetime."
Dr. Maynard said this university idea
waa not a new one. It had its lnclylency
in the mind of Dr. Kerr, formerly presi
dent of Bellevu college, yeara ago and
is only now being worked out. H spoke
with great hop In the plan.
