the r.ommlttes could never agree, the fif
teenth man, Gates, being abaent In the
hospital.
The motion was not jut, and . finally.
Holmes aald:
"I move that we kill the bill. 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.

giving him permission to make no state
ment and to let Ms name go on the ballot
without a statement affixed. 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

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

Bill.
(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.

The stock market went through a stormy

Rabin Cooper.
NAEHVTTXE, Tenn., Feb. 24. Th usual
big crowd gathered at the court house
early this morning. There waa th usual
rush to get seats, for today was to begin
the cross-examlnatiAn of Colonel Duncan
B. 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."
Tells Story of Shooting:.
"Well, I saw Senator Carmack coming
up. First. I thought I would wait for him.
Then I thought that might carry some
significance, so I walked toward him. I
saw him speak to Mrs. Eastman. I said,
'Mr. Carmack.' He threw up his head ss
though hs hsd not seen me snd at once
drew his revolver and stepped In front of
Mrs. Eastman, pulling her between us snd
stepping toward the curb. 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
