Prohibitory Asaeadsseat.
Daring the coming week the temperance
forces will Introduce In the legislature,
probably In the senate, a Joint resolution
for an amendment to the constitution for
state-wide prohibition. The supporters of
county option are not satisfied with the
progress being made on this matter and
have determined to put the more radical
measure before the legislature merely for
the sake of putting the members on record,
for there is no hope of securing a three
fifths vote In Its favor.
The county option bill by Representa
tive Brown of Sherman was placed on gen
eral tile from the standing committee In
the house today without objection.
Edgar Howard Howls.
In the current number of Edgar Howard's
paper, the Columbus Telegram, there is a
dissertation on the manners of the demo
cratic majority In the legislature that Indi
cates the people outside the legislature are
becoming aware of the goings on at the
state house. Qoples have been mailed to
members of the legislature.
In closing up a roast of the members
ot his own party Mr. Howard, In a signed
editorial, refers to the action of the house
In postponing a bill by Kelley of Furnas
county to make an appropriation for an
experimental station In western Nebraska,
which was a part of the democratic plat
form pledge, aa follows:
Perhaps It was right to decide against
locating that promised srliool at the town
of Cambridge, but you killed the bill as a
whole, and thus went on record against
your platform pledges. I hope it la not too
late for the square members of the house
to take other steps to redeem our plcUge
fur an agrtculturai school In the western
part of the state.
For God's sake, gentlemen of the legis
lature. If you have no respect fur your
own platform ptedgi-s. pluase have and
show sympathy for (he common democrats
uf the state who told the people that our
platform pledges would be redeemed.
Te Regulate Meter Cars.
Senator Ollla will Introduce a bill next
week to regulate the gasoline motor cars
now being used on many branch lines in
Nebraska. He will provide that two men
instead of on shall be In the inotorman's
eompirtittent to guard against accidents
and that a smoking compartment shall be
provided aod auarala toilet rooms for the
sexes.
On of Senator (Mill's Mils this week
relates to the demand for money from per
sons receiving an appointive office. It
makes It a felony for any person In au
thority to take such action and if enforced
would prohibit heads of state Institutions
from ta any manner collecting campaign
contributions or would prevent an agree
mnnt between deputies In aa office and the
principal aa to a distribution of salaries
after the office was salted dowq. The
bill ta drastic In the extreme aa to Its

with Insurance men of the state who have
been seeking for haste In the matter, it Is
certain that when the committee begins Its
work the smoke will ascend.
It Is by fto means certain the committee
will stand by the senator from Saline
county. In fact. It has been Intimated the
committee may be against aome of his
measures. His particular line of bills Is di
rected toward a more thorough outlining of
the rights and duties of mutual companies
and policyholders, and since their Introduc
tion there has been a determined set of mu
tual lobbyists about the lobbies laying a
foundation for what Is to come when' the
hearings begin. A number of these men
have been registered as lobbyists and others
have not.
The meeting of the senate committee has
been postponed probably half a dosen times,
but It Is announced that the first session
will be held Monday night at the Llndell
hotel.

CARROL D. WRIGHT IS DEAD
Former Commissioner of Loor Dies
. at Worcester, Mass., After
lest Illness.
WORCE8TER, Mass.. Feb. .-Carroll V.
Wright, .president of Clarke college and
former commissioner of labor, died tonight,
aged. (9. president -Wright had been a
sufferer from diabetes for more than two
years, but that disease dkJ not give him
serious trobule until after his return from
Washington on December 7. His last public
appearance was at the dinner of the trus
tees of the Carnegie Institute, with which
Institution he had been connected for some
years. He was obliged to take to h bed
four days after his return, but rallied
within a week. Still he did not leave his
room and conducted the administration of
Clark college through his secretary. This
continued for nearly two months, but ten
days ago complications set In aud he was
forced to relinquish all business and since
that time has failed gradually. Ills phy.
slclans for several days have held out no
hope for his recovery and It was realised
that death might be expected almost hourly.
The condition of coma Into which the pa
tient had sunk In the last hours remained
unbroken to the time of his rleath.
FIRE AT ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE
Bollalnsr Dating- Back to 1T34 Badly
Damaged at Aununolls
Institution.
ANNAPOLIS, Md.. Feb. M. A fire broke
out In McDowell hall, the main academy
building of St. .John's college, this after
noon, and despite the efforts of the fire
men of Annapolis the fine building was
soon ablate. '
The Interior of the building was com
pletely destroyed, but the outer walls re
mained Intact. The brigade of midshipmen
rendered material assistance with the Navy
academy apparatus, and two companies of
United States marines were sent to the
scene to preserve order. ,
The blase ' waa confined to McDowell
hall, which was the main tnilldlng, around
which the others clustered, but some dis
tance off. No estimate of the loss can
be obtained. McDowell hall waa one of
the oldest buildings In Annapolis, having
been at one time the main building of Old
William and Mary college. It was built In
1734 of English brick and was of very heavy
construction.
One of the things that Is most regretted
Is the loss of the many class shields which
decorated the college chapel, and have been
accumulated since 19.
The fire had gained considerable headway
before It was discovered. . This was due
to the" fact that most of the St. John's
cadets, are :away on leave of absence on
account of , the approach of Washington's
birthday holiday. Just how the fire orig
inated is not known.

nous statuo of George Washington hag
been removed from the capltol pUisa to the
basement of the Smithsonian Institute.
Charles D. Walcott,' secretary of the
Institute, spoke about the statue when he
appeared before the house appropriations
coti.mlttee. He described Its recent trans
fer to a place of protection from the fierce
ness of the elements.
'When they came to examine the statue,"
said Mr. Walcott, "they found It cracked
all the way through. It was a very diffi
cult Job to get the statue down there with
out breaking It, but It is there now and
It ia on It base."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. Two more of
the annual supply bills, the diplomatic and
consular and the military academy meas
ures, were passed by the house of renrn.

posed or last Monday as the continuous

AGREEMENT ON KNOX SALARY
Conferees of House and Senate Rec
ommend Reduction.
WASHINGTON, Feb. .-The conferees
of the senate and house on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bl"j
have reached an agreement on the item
relating to the salary of the secretary of
State. To make It Possible for Senator
Knox to accept that office they have agreed
to recommend that the compensation be re
duced from $12,000 to $8,000 a year. They
are still, however. In disagreement on the
senate provision creating the office of
ttnder-secretary of state and adding another
assistant secretary. The house conferees
object to the title of under-secretary on
the ground that it follows too closely the
English style of designation. It Is probable
that the office will be established, but that
the adjective part of the title will be
changed from "under" to "vice."

Bledsoe entered a plea of guilty to the

Bledsoe maintained that he had no confed

The list of delinquent counties is almost
Identical for both of the leading parties,
but what significance this fact may have
Is hard to fathom. From Keith, Keya Paha
and Pawnee counties, left blank in tna
table below, no word has been - received
one way or the other.
Prohibition treasurers Jiave filed reports
called for by the law lnNmt two counties.
In Red Willow county the prohibition treas
urer' admits an expense of $18.21, and In
Saline county the report filed on behalf
of this party shows an expenditure of $30.
The anti-saloon group, the county option
group and other bunches of "two or more"
political pltchforkers, are clearly concerned
with obedience to the Nebraska law against
corrupt practices. Tet In no Instance, ap
parently, have they rendered an account.
thrnus-h their treasurers, of the money
collected, received and disbursed during the
primary campaign or during the following
contest for the state offices and the legis
lature. These groups were certainly very
alert and continually busy during both the
primary and the general campaigns. They
have also been . claiming a large measure
of ctedlt for the results. The fake Thomas
letter against Governor Sheldon and the
alleged forgery committed on the near-like
stationery of the Lincoln Civic federation
cost money for printing and postage, but
r.either the Douglas county reformer nor
the Lincoln democratic masquerader paid
this money out of their own pockets. And
the most active of the Lancaster county
option advocates who claimed credit for
electing a spilt ticket In. that county com
mitted to local option has admitted In
nrint that money was raised among a few
perple and spent lwhere it would do the
Tko Returns In Detail.
Following Is a complete list of the coun
ties of the state, with the amounte re

treasurers, who have reported according to

WASHINGTON, Feb. 30,-The postal sav
Inga bank bill, after having been opposed
for many weeks, although It has been the
unfinished business or the senate, may yet
be passed at the present session.
The unexpected progress which was made
with the appropriation bills yesterday, it
is said, will give Senator Carter an oppor
tunity te again press the postal savings
bank measure, and It Is thought with a
number of amendments It can be put In
sr&pe where It would be acceptable to the
senate.
In the abort time that remains ot the
rresent session It Is not thought possible
to get the bill toward tbe house, but It Is
argued that passage by the senate would
bo an Important step toward redeeming
the promise made by the republican na
tional committee to enact the legislation.

NO AIR FLIGHT FOR ALFONSO
King: of Spain Deterred by Pleat of
Queen and Premier.
GIVES PROMISE NOT Tt) FLY
Royal Party Watrkea Performaneea of
WrtM Brothers' Aeroplane nnd
Kins; Kvlnces J rent Interest
la Maeklne'a War Value.
rAU, France. Feb. . King Alfonso of
Spain was present at the flying near Pau
today and witnessed the flights of the
Wright brothers, the AmerWan acre-pianists.
It had been generally believed that his
majesty would venture aloft on one of
the trips, but he did not do so, and It
became known that before leaving Madrid
he had promised Queen Victoria and Pre
mier Maura that he would not go up Into
the air under any circumstances. His ma
jesty evinced the greatest Interest tn the
aeroplane as an engine of war and deplored
the fact that he could not make a trial
flight.
Hart O. Bt-rg, the European bueli.e s man.
ager ot the Wrights, had an Interview with
the king last night, at which the arrange
ment for his majesty to witness the flights
of today were completed. After taking
heed of his promise not to fly ho laugh
ingly recalled the cabinet crista produced
several years ago when Premier Maura re
signed because the king had not heeded
his warning to run his automobile slower
through the streets of Madrid.
Continuing, he said he -was a soldier
above everything else and that he had
come to Pau to witness the flights so. that
he might be able to discuss the question of
aeroplanes with the army council at Mad
rid and confirm-the opinion previously
formed that the aeroplane, when developed,
was destined to become one of the greatest
Implements In war. He said It was his
fervent wish to be the first sovereign to
fly, but he had given his solemn promise
before he left home not to be led Into
making an ascent. Mr. Berg explained the
indescribable delight of gliding over tho
cushioned air, but the king smiled and
said: "Yes, I know, but 1 have given my
word." '
His majesty was very much Inteivsted In
hearing a recital of the success ot the
Wrights; how they became Interested In
avltatlon, their long struggles and their
final success and the complete mastery of
their machine. He then discussed the
eventual use of the aeroplane in war. He
questioned the suitability of the aeroilune
in general offensive operations on luml,
but said he thought it Invaluable for land
scouting and seacoast dufenac, where It
could be used offensively with success.
- The king manifested also much Interest
In the new gun silencer Invented by Hiram
Maxim, and he arranged to have a sample
silencer sent to ' Madrid, where he will
consider equipping the Spanish army rifles
with the Instrument.
