FAVORS CARNEU1H PENSION Ft D Oac Legislator l;'Vea His Reason far t Faftta. la Plan. ' (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 28.-(Speclal Telegram. ) "lt la not so much where the money came from, aa the use to which It la being put," r.;maiked a member of the legislature In discussing the. bill which, If passed, will permit tae teachers In the state university to participate In the Carnegie pension fund. "So far as I am concerned," he continued, "1 aee no reason for refusing tho teachers a share in this pension fund. Other states have permitted their educators to become eligible to receive this assistance when they shall have met the requirements of the trustees and Nebraaka would be acting against the best Interest of the univeralty If it did not follow suit." The more the members investigate the bill now pending to make eligible the teach ers of the university to participate la the Carnegie fund, the less objection there Is to It.

HOISE COMMITTEES JEALOIS Activity of One Body Leads Other to Make Remarks. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 28. (Special.) Like a blighting disease, jealousy has broken out among the various committees of the house, due to the fact that no one is responsible for their selection, the speaker having no authority to straighten out tangles or offer suggestions, thanks to Mr. Bryan's Interference. By reason of this Intense Jealousy at least an hour was used this morning In a discussion ss to whether It waa right and proper tor the finance committee to make a report on an appropriation bill for a state in stitution previous to a report on the needs of the Institution from the com mittee on public lands and buildings. Tha bill which caused the waste of time was that by Begole of Gage county appropriating $100,000 for three buildings at the Institute for Feeble Minded at Beatrice. The finance committee re ported the bill back ' to the house amended so that only two buildings should be erected and tha appropriation cut down to $70,000. It developed that the finanee commit tee in order to get specific Information regarding the needs of the Institution sent a special committee to Beatrice to Invebtlgate and as a result the commit tee recommended cutting $ JO, 000 out of the appropriation. This started Kelley of Furnas on the warpath. Ha Insisted that his commit tee on publio lands and buildings should be wiped off the msp If ths other com mittees were to do its work. Then Mc- Coll of Gage made a long speech about It being due the fathers snd mothers of feeble-minded children to keep the In stttutlon In good shape. Ktllen thought the finance committee had done very well, though he regretted the lopping off of tho $80,000. Then a half dosen others took a shot at the finance committee white both Clark of Richardson, Its chairman, and Begole of Gage, the In troducer of tha bill, were trying to get In a word. e All of the criticism was aimed at Clark because Clark ha demonstrated that ha Is a hard-working member and haa some Idea of how to get work done In an orderly way. When lie finally got to talk he explained that the rules made It necessary for bills coming to a committee) to be reported back In five days, so It was necessary to aend a committee to Beatrice In order to get first-hand Information re- at the Lilliputian Continues low styles patent dull calf and suede tables.

Then Beguln finally got the floor and said he was perfectly willing that the bin should go to tho general file snd then come up In the, committee of the whole after the committee on public land snd buildings had made its report. Clark made the mo tion and this was done. During the debate on the bill Grsff bt Cuming, who favored the -report of the finance committee, mentioned that some ,ono had been appropriated for this In stitution two years ago, snd, turning to MoColl, "your governor vetoed It."' "I rise to question of personal privi lege." said McColl. "George L. Sheldon was no more my governor than he waa yours, and he was defeated for a second term, too." Bowmsn of Nuckolls tried to clip off a section of the constitution by a resolution providing that no bills should be Intro duced after the thirtieth day of the ses sion. He lost, but not before he had given the house some good argument In favor of his proposition, which he Insisted would be to tha best Interest of the state If adopted. The committee oppolnted to act with a like committee from the senate nd ar range for a Joint session to listen to Mr. Bryan, reported back that It had decided to hold the Joint session February 17, and on that date "Mr. Bryan would be re quested to address the legislature." Gerdes of Richardson Introduced a reso lution requiring the clerk of the supreme court to file with the clerk of the house a certified copy of the amount of fees he has collected during the year 1908. Upon objections by Klllen of Gage the resolu tion went over one diy. i The following bills were introduced In the house: H. R. 201, by Case of Frontier Appro priating for the use of the state univer sity 16 per cent of tha one mill university tax levv for the years 19t and 1910 and $30,000 of the delinquent taxes collected un der university levies prior to the year 190.

Treasurers Adds Mach to Strong Box. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 28. (Special.) For years the financial condition of tha state has not been In as good condition as at ths present time, when the first . appropriation bill reached the office of the state auditor. State Treasurer Brian has on deposit at the close of business tohay $600,000 and there Is outstanding against the state a debt of $591,000. To offset this there Is In the gen eral fund 1106,000 and In the redemption fund $67,000, which will cut the debt down to 416,0u0 Just as soon as the Interest on the warrants has been figured. In the permanent school fund there Is now $163,000. The treasurer Is JuBt now having his an nual settlement with county treasurers, which accounts for the immense amount of money he has on deposit and each day for a time will Increase the amount. Out of this, however, hs has to taks care of all outstanding warrants, pay for school bonds purchased under the new constitutional amendment and be in readiness to take up university warrants should the supreme court decide adversely to tha treasurer in the friendly suit now. pending. This Is tha splendid condition of affairs at the time the democratic legislature makes Its first rap against the door' of the state treasury.

" eassssannnnasa DEMAND RELEASE OF P0UBEN Convention Objects to Return af Political Re fa gee from Rassla Vat Indicates Election f Lewis. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Jan. .-After a ten years struggle the socialists among the membership ol ths United Mine Work ers of Amercla have at last obtained the balance of power In the annual national convention, now In session here. It Is estlmsted that 300 of the 1.400 delegates are either active socialists or have engaged to support measures of socialistic tendency In the convention. A resolution fqr the "public ownership of public utilities," wss adopted by the convention without a dissenting vote. In the past the lesders have been able to prevent the national organisation from committing Itself to socialiatlc doctrines, but that time is past, and President Iewls finds a rival for his office In John Walker of Illinois. . who Is a professed socialist. Mr. Lewis and his supporters, the conserv ative party In the convention, on the eve of factional strife that threatens their re gime, seem to have' decided that It now would be "bad politics" to antaganlse so strong an Influence as the socialists now wield. - . Demand Release of Pooren. A resolution was adopted demanding re lease of Jan Pouren, in addition to Chris tian Rudowics, Russian refugees in this country, whose cases have been considered lately, on extradition proceedings on the part of the Russian government. The miners demand the release of such prison ers "because political refugees of all other countries cast their eyes upon this as an as))um for the oppressed." TI.e resolutions further "demand the abrogation of the treaty which provides for the extradition of persona charged with offenses against a nation where persons so charged are not to be tried by a Jury of their peers." While care fs" taken by the miners' leaders that the organisation shall not taks definitely a socialistic course, and a reso lution for government ownership of coal mlnea has been defeated, nevertheless the socialists have been successful In putting through a resolution recommending pub lio ownership of the "wealth producing agencies" of the country, "which are now In control of the predatory rich," and that there should be a social reorganisa tion totfie effect that each man should receive the equivalent of the labor that he gives to the community. This reso lution was adopted without a dissenting vote, It Is authoritatively announced bv friends of Thomas L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, that the count of the ballots has proceeded far enough to show that he has been ' re elected by a majority of between 15.000 and 20,000 over his opponent, John Walker of Illinois. Jary for Contempt Case. After hours of dissension the convention adopted a resolution recomendlng a modifi cation of court procedure In regard to In junctions. Ths convention declared no Injunction should be issued until the employes were notified and that contempt charges should be heard by a Jury before another Judge. The Mltchell-Gompers-Morrlson case, .carrying .-a Jail sentence in the Bucks move company injunction, war discussed today by the millers' convention. Speeches were made by Congressmen Wilson and Nichols. President Lewis and others. Test at Resolutions. Ths resolutions on ths injunction mat ter which caused the speeches follow: The United Mine Workers of America most emphatically and unreservedly pro- ii m icuicnLTi ana mreaienea Imprisonment of Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, offlcera of the American Federation of Labor. , Tha action of Justice Wright In these cases can never be regarded as giving any degree of Justice by the mine workers of America. We maintain that there watt no violation of the law of the land by our fellow workmen, and that all their acts complained of were directly within the rights as guaranteed to every cltlsen of this country by our constitution and other laws We hold that the anti-trust law waa never intended by congress to apply to labor unions, snd the construc tion placed thereon by' the federal courts Is destructive of the usefulness snd only power of organised labor for Ha protec tion and advancement We further protest against the uncalled for and extreme- bitterness of the ar raignment of the defendants by Justice Wright aa unparalleled In Judicial pro ceedings in the courts of our land. We regard hie action as a direct blow against our individual liberties as workmen and against our labor unions. ffe condemn the penalties Imposed as unjust, unreason able and shockingly excessive. Notwithstanding juadcu Wright's denun ciatory opinion, we maintain that the trade unions have been,- and are. based on loy alty to the laws of our courts, and we are now, as ws have been In the paat, determ ined to reseat any encroachments on our rights as guaranteed by the constitution Of our republic. We denounce government by Injunction, ss sought to be enforced by some courts, an unamorlcsn, unconstitu tional and void. We deny the right of courts to Issue Injunction agalnat offlcera or members of labor organizations while contending for their rights for alleged of fenses not committed In the presence of the court, without notice to the partlea concerned. In Seeking to bring about a condition In the Injunction law aa Inter preted by the courts, we hsve no desire to attack property rlghta. They must be safe (iiarded, but there are other rights that Should be regarded the rights of man. We can never agree that labor organisa tions are trusts. They are voluntary In character and formed for the protection, advancement and general welfare of the land. We concede the righta of Judges to punish for contempt offenses committed In the presence of the court. But we most emphatically deny the right of any court to punish for offenses committed not in the presence or hearing of the court, unless the a or used la afforded a trial by a Jury of his peers. This right of trisl by Jury Is guaranteed to the humblest cl"ren by the constitution of our fathers and we Insist on our full rlghta thereunder at all times and place. We demsnd of congress a speedy enact ment of a law commanding federal courts to change their procedure In contempt and Injunction Vases so that notice shall be aerved on defendants In labor dlaputea and a Jury trial afforded befors punishment is Inflicted. , We slso demand that all cases of con tempt shall be heard and determined by a Judge other than the one Issuing the writ except when committed In the presence or hearing of the court. We maintain that the labor organisations are for the betterment of workers, snd that men have a constitu tional right to assemble together In a peace able manner to conault and take action for their common good.

Two of the letters were from Chicago, where Nord says he was In the real estate business at 115 Dearborn street four years ago. When queatloned regarding the letters somoe of which were signed "Miss Anna Heerhold, 24S8 North Forty-fourth street, Chlcsgo," and "Mrs. Ida M. Stern, 6ol Madison avenue, Chicago," Nord refused lo say anything except that they were per sonal letters and money matters mentioned in them were simply business transactions. Asked regarding the letters from a woman in Sweden, who addressed him as her hus band and aHuded to their marriage, he re plied a mistake had been made In the trans mission. Nord Is about 10 years old and is not of prepossessing appearance. Following his return to Kansas City the police seized Nord's trunk and In It found several hundred letters from women In va- J rious parts of the country. These letters, which were made public last night.

Stem, 6619 Madison avenue, Chi cago;" "Miss Anna Heerhold, 2488 North Forty-fourth street, Irving Park, Chicago," and "Mary L. Berry, Savannah, 111." One writer pleaded with the man to sell his office furniture In Buffalo and come' to her and marry her. Another letter read: "We will be happy when we are married, but, Charles, If you expect to keep my Confidence you must square yourself In regard to that check." The same writer In another letter said: "I just received a notice from the First National bank saying that the note for $1,000 was due April 13, and raut be paid." SHU another writer says: "Fortunately, dear boy, I have the loan at hand that you ask. Of course, you hate to ask me for It, but I am only too glad to do you the favor." "My own dear C," writes another, "I was so sorry that my brokers told me that money was so hard to get they could not accommodate me with the $200 you asked me for. We could live," she added, "on the $100 a month of mine until you get on your feet." Lter the same writer penned this: "You will please send the $10 at once or I shall be obliged to bring suit."
