What's the uee of fooling around about It? If we can't agree then lets kill it and be. done with It." ' One of the outalde members - then tug geated that the bill be thrown Into the house on the general file, with no recom mendations, and this carried, Connolly of the Douglas delegation voting no. ' Oregoa Plata BUI Advanced. With Nebraaka's 'I'eerlrsi Leader In the capltoi building to force them on, the sen ate gave W. J. Bryan another push toward the United States senatorahlp today when It recommended for passage In committee of the whole the Oregon plan of selecting a United States senator, as embodied In H. R. 1, . by Humphrey of Lancaster. By a strict party vote the bill was ordered ad vanced to third reading over the protests of republican members, who declared the majority would regret the set The ma jority - members smilingly allowed the re publicans to protest snd pushed the bill through without a word of discussion.. In protest there were speeches by Sen ators Raymond of Scott's Bluff, Oammill of Frontier, Wilts of Cedar and Cain of Richardson. "Tou poke this down our , lesmbfg "You may poke this thing down our throats now," exclaimed Senator Wlltse, "but the time will come when you will re gret what you have done." "Ton democrats are In the majority now and csn do whatever you wish. It seems to rue that you are pulling to the front a po litical Issue every fifteen minutes. I am finding no fault, but the time will come when ws may be able to return the com pllmpnt" "We're used to that," shouted Bonator Howell. ' "It seems to me that the title of this bill Is defective. It should read 'A bill for an act to elect the Peerless One United States senator.' . "Tou might as well send a number of effigies down here to Lincoln as to enact such a law as this. The members of the legislature will be mere figureheads. Ho far as I am concerned. I shall not give my consent to the passage of a law that will take away from the representative of the people all discretion. Let the people select members In whom they have confidence. Don't send a lot of figureheads down here whom the people will mark 'Bryan.' " The Oregon plan of electing a United States Sfc.iator as embodied In the Hum phrey bill necessitates every candidate for the legislature promising or not promising to vote for the candidate receiving the plu rality of votes whether of his political faith or not. If not pledging the statement Is made on the ballot that he refuses, as Is the statement he will vote for the "choice of the people for United States senator." He must choose one course or the other. Raysaaaa Has Mediae BUI. a F. 160. by Raymond of Scott's Bluff, a modification of the Oregon plan, gave a c .andldate for the legislature th right to.m"?dlnf ?ur? f1ood law -so that it dls- . 7 .......

The bill was Indefinitely postponed. ( When the commutes of the whole re ported, the vote was strictly on party lines. The republicans took further opportunity to go on record against the Oregon plan of lection. Senators Oammill and Cain made speeches. Senator Cain declaring that It was a plan to make a member of the legis lature vote In a way distasteful to him. Senator Howell declared the republicans had been busy making apologies for the republican party In Oregon all (he after noon. They would take the government away from the people. "I have no apology to make," declared Senator-. Wilts. "You must give the re publicans credit for standing by their pledges when tliey made them.

"I don't see anything to be so proud of In that," aald the senator from Cedar, and thte crowd that filled the galleries and lobby shouted. Primary Law to Reanala. The seants while on primary matters took up Senator Hatfield's bll lto repeal th direct primary law. A motion to recom mend the bill for pasaage was seconded In loud tones by Senator Myers of Rock county, who In support of the motion msde the longest speech so far this session. He declared the people were not demanding the primary law, were getting along well under the convention system and that (all the publlo institutions of Nebraska were grounded while the system of government brought about by the convention system was in force. He could see no good In tne method and hoped the legislature would repeal the act In his district there were - precincts where - there were eighty votes and the election board members were th only ons who ovted at the primaries. In another precinct the people took so little Interest in the law that three women were appointed on the board In order to make up the legal number. Senator QammUl of Frontier declared the bill a step backward and that it would ill befit a body of lawmakers att his time to postpone Indefinitely any measure for which the public demand had been so gen ersl as It had oeen for the primary law. When a vote was taken, those favoring the bill were Howtl and Ransom of .Doug las, uaverty of Saunders, Klein of Oace. Myers of Rock. Hatfield of Antelop and uuer or Seward, The bill was consigned to tne scrap heap. , . BILLS INTRODUCED IN, THE HOUSE! Oae to Realae I sane ( Stocks for Service Corporations.

(From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, Feb. . Bpeclsl.) To defest ths passage of the bill giving permission to ths teachers ef the State university to participate In th Carnegie pension fund Mr. Brysn appeared Defer th committee on miscellaneous subjects this sfternoon. To offset ths ca,lm. dignified rrgument of Prof. Caldwell and Prof. Howard of th State university, Mr. Brynn used all of his eloquence in delivering I'Jtump speech snd holding up befor the committee the hor rors of a Ttecl trust controlled university with every graduate full of the trust mi crobe. Th university cro feasors were not In the lesst swed by th presidential candidate, and Prof Howard referred to the fact that "some of the distinguished gentlemen In Lincoln hsd helped to secure a Carnegie library tor Lincoln," and that Its Influent hsd not been for the bsd: The Csrnegle of that day and ths Csrnegls of todsy," Mr. Brysn explained. "were not the same. Th Carnegie that established th libraries was an iron master, but the Carnegie who estab lished the pensions for teachers Is a steel msgnste." It seems to me there Is no difference In the Csrnegle of 18 and ths Csrnegls of 190," said Prof. Caldwell. During ths course of his remarks Prof. Howard suloglsed President ' Eliot of Harvard, concluding with the statement thst he retires In June, on a 14,000 Car negie pension. Some suggested when ths professor had finished that he should have said Mr. Eliot Is a democrat, and Mr. Howard so announced to the com mittee. "Do you know how he votedt" inter rupted Mr. Bryan. Very slowly Prof. Howard arose and, looking directly at Mr. Bryan, said: "He voted conscientiously and I suppose he has not always voted the democratic ticket." "You don't know how he voted," said Mr. .Bryan. "I know that I voted for you, Mr. Bryan, and I hops to do so again," replied How- srd. After two or three such set-to with th university professors Mr. Bryan demanded to know of Prof. Caldwell If he was get ting enough salary. "Tea sir," repllede Caldwell.. "Are you," -he asked of Howard. "I say I am not," said the professor, and again the committee laughed. Mr. Bryan got a chance to ask the ques tions, expecting of course to embarrass the teachers, when Mr. Howard mentioned how th university compared with. other uui Versifies in point Of salaries paid. Mr. Howard argued that the pension . fund would be an inducement for the teachers to remain here, though the salary was less than could be earned In some other states. Mr. Bryan ' showed considerable spirit when he had been called by Profs. Howard and Caldwell for repeatedly making the statement that they would be Influenced by ths fact they were to b beneficiaries of the Carnegie fund, and In ons of his bursts of eloquence he said: "If this pen sion Is accepted I never expect to hear any professor In ths university denounce the Steel trust to his classes." "Do you mean to Impune the character of the teachers In the university?" said Trof. Caldwell. , "No, sir," said Bryan. "Come to my classes and you will hear th Steel trust denounced," said Howard The professors explained that the pension was In the hands of a board of trustees which perpetuated Itself. Thst ths moaey was Invested In steel bonds, whlCh were In no wsy dependent upon the success of the steel corporation; that the trustees had the right to change the Investment; that no obligation was placed upon the teachers who participated In ths pension; that Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Indiana, Massachu setts and othsr states now participated In the fund. Mr. Bryan attempted to frighten the com mittee by telling the members they would better go home with good srguments In favor of accepting the pension should tffey decide to favor the bill. He told the com mittee that th fla-ht against ths trust had Just begun and that he Intended now to Lflght it right here in Nebraska. senators TlDDets and Buck also spoke for th bill. The committee did not act on the measure. ROUTINE PROCEEDINGS OF SENATE Coaaaalttre to Iaveetla-at tfcarsre ( Corporation Domination. (From a Staff Correspondent;.) LINCOLN, Feb. 24. (Special.)

Cooper In the Cooper-Sharp trial for the slaying of former Senator Carmack. There were not so many women In ths throng, however, but they srrlved later, snd many an unfortunate man who had spent several hours a siting for a seat, found himself ejected from It by a hard hearted deputy before he had been in It an hour, to make room for a woman. As Colonel Cooper, In walking over to ths witness chair, passed his youngest dsugh ter, Mrs. Beverly Wilson, she squeezed his arm affectionately. General Washington took up the line of questioning where he left off last night Colonel Cooper said ss thy approached Seventh avenue, Robin 4nd Sharp were In front of him. 1 Robin turned and urged me to hurry. I told htm to wait a minute.' He and Sharp stopped and I caught up. Then h grabbed me and said: 'Let's hurry, papa.' Th nervous grasp of his arm amused my suspicion snd Intuitively I turned snd saw Senator Carmack. Instantly I decided to go over and have a plain talk with Car mack to see If this sffsir which wss wor rying; my friends, my children and my self, could not be stopped." "When you started out did you propose to meet him?" "No. sir. The Impulse came ever me at once when I saw him to go over and talk to him." "Now, tell what happened. In your own way."

He was flv or six feet from tha curb when I called his name." "What next?" . "He had his pistol In his hand and passed In front of Mrs. Eastman. Mrs. Eastman became wildly excited and grsbbed the old man with her. I had made no hostile move ment." "What did-you say?" "I said, I think, thst It was cowardly to get behind a woman with a pistol In his hand." "Did you have a revolver out?" "Not at that time." "Did you have any purpose of shooting or killing him?" "No, sir." "Did you say. I haves the drop on you?" "I did not." "What happened next?" ' Carmack Shoots at Robla. "Well, Senstor Carmack got around th post, and at th same Urns Robin got In between ua. In a second Carmack shot between the poles and'Robln got around them. Then, for th first time, I saw Robin's revolver snd saw him shoot" "Did you have your pistol out?" "Not until after Robin was shot. Then I drew my gun, but I saw Carmack was down and that Robin was shot, so I put my revolver back in my pocket." "How many shots were fired?" "Five In all." "What next?" "Robin attracted my attention. Hs was lesnlng sgainst the post and I could see hs was wounded. I took him to Dr. Fort's infirmary. Sergeant Reld cams In then and said: 'Tou are my prisoner.'
