PRESIDENT-ELECT FEELING WELL Apparent Fine Physical Condition is Subject of Congratulation. CHANGE MADE IN PROGRAM Mrs. Taft aqd Mrs. thernian Will Ride with Their Husbands on the Drive Hark to the White House. WASHINGTON, March 1 A rush of morning callers Interrupted a long walk In the afternoon, and attendance tonight at a special dinner In his honor by the "Taft Philippine F.xpedition" brought Iresldent elect Taft to within two days of his in auguratlon with less serious demands on his time than he has experienced during any day since his late return from Panama and New Orleans. Tho apparent splendid physical condition the universal good humor and absence from worry and nervous strain ot Mr. Taft made a uniformly gratifying Impression on the many statesmen, politicians nnd friends who are received by him daily. His Jovial remark is that his "inaugural address Is prepared, his cabinet selected the Inaugural committee Is preparing oil details for the ceremony on Thursday and why should he feci otherwise than com? fortable." Conference with Knox. The day was begun with an extended conference between the president-elect and Senator Knox, at which many important matters pertaining to the next adminis tration wtre srone oyer. Mr. linox Is giving much attention to the prospective organization of the State department, over which ho Is to preside after March 4. Be sides, he is being consulted freely by Mr. Taft regarding the affairs of other depart ments, Mr. Taft having many times re marked that he should give great weight to the Judgment of his secretary of state. Charles Nagel of St. Louis, with Mrs. N'agel is here, and they paid their respects to Mr. Taft. In the absence of the offi cial announcement of the personnel of the new cabinet. Mr. Nagel is somewhat shy when addressed as "Mr. Secre-tary." That tho Missouri member of the republican national committee Is to be the new secre tary of commerce and labor, however. Is known to be a fact. Frank II. Hitchcock Is here from New York. He spent some time at the capital today, and also saw Mr. Taft regarding matters which will arise directly after the inauguration. No other members of the Taft cabinet are In Wash ington, Willi the exception of Postmaster General Meyer and Secretary Wilson, who aro attending to their respective duties in the Roosevelt cabinet, ' A federal Judgeship In northern Alabama brought to the Boardman residence this afternoon a delegation from that state headed by Representative Richardson. Mr. Taft went over the situation with them and listened to their recommendations. An Informal tea, which was the feature at the Boardman residence this afternoon, attracted thereto many members of Wash ington official and social life, and Mr. and Mrs. Taft met all callers. Philippine Dinner Pnrly. The Philippine dinner tonight was ar ranged by Miss Mabel Boardman and Rep resentative McKlnley of Illinois, and was Him most pretentious of the enjoyable oc casions which this famous party Indulge In every year. There were present seven I'nlted States senators and twenty-four members of the house of representatives, besides a number of otherwise distinguished personages who sailed to the orient with Mr. Taft in 1905. The trip attained most of Its fame because of the matrimonial ac complishments resulting. Representative Nicholas Lotigworth and Miss Alice Roose velt became bethrothed; Representative Bourke Cockran met Miss Ide. daughter of Judge Ide of the Philippine commission, who Is now Mrs. Cockran. and Representa tive Swager Sherley of Kentucky met Miss Mignon Critton of Staten Island, to whom he became engaged. The dinner took place In the banquet hall of the Wlllard hotel, whieh was rich In decorations and floral settings. Senator Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia, one of the voyagers, was toastmaster. and the speeches voiced the general spirit of con viviality which exists among the members of the party, and were turned to express (Continued on Second Page.) Mostyn of the local police relates the story as told by Thielman: "I waa one of the prize fighters, known as Gorgian. My opponent was called Casey. The man who bet waa Harry Hazlebaum of Louisville, K. The fight had not pro gressed far when I sent a stiff one to Casey's mouth and instantly a flow of blood started that could not be stopped. Casey went down, doctors were summoned, he dird and was carried away. At least that l what our Kentucky friend thought. Aa a matter of fact, Caary had a sponge in his mouth filled with port wine and when I tapped him he let out the wine for blood. The Kentuckian nearly went crazy with fright, fearing he would be arrested for attending tha fight and betting on it, a fear which we encouraged. That is why he was slow to make a holler and slower to press matters." The Omaha officers urged that the pair ba held, but having no warrant on which to hold them were compelled to relcasa them. Chief of Folic Richmond of Council Blurts says tha only men who ever com plained to him of having been thus buncoed were two cherubs from Kentucky, who said tbey lost $10.io on a fake flglit.

One of the most Important features of the work Is connected with evasions of the law resulting In the Importation of excluded classes. An Investigation Is being made Into tiie question of the Importation and harboring of women for Immoral purposes. The re sults show that many women are being constantly Imported unter conditions which account to absolute slavery. It has been found that In numerous In stance persons afflicted wltn contagious diseases, and even criminals of a dangerous type, have been able to evade the Im migration laws and come to this country under the pretense of being seamen. The utmost Importance Is attached' to the In quiry being made Into the subject of alien criminality. The most extensive Important work undertaken by the commission In the gen eral field is investigation Into economic and social status of Immigrants to various sec tions of the country. The most Important topic being covered is the employes, hours of work and discrimination for or against Immigrants in employment, wages and housing. In taking up the congestion of immigrants in large cities the commission is observing communities Inhabited principally by mem ber of one race, aa to whether the slinging together of members of the same race handicaps them In their struggle for ad vancement and preventa the rapid as similation and Americanization. A careful Inquiry among wage earners who ara forced to compete with immigrant labor, la being made among workers In the trades and occupations In which immigrant are largely engaged.

Mr. Schroeder Uvea at SM Rees street and filed for the republican nomination for councilman from the Seventh ward. John G. Kuhn, an attorney, filed the protest against Mr. Schroeder on two counts. One charge madi was that at the last registration Mr. Schroeder replied "none" to the question aa to the party with which he affiliates. The other charge is that he Is not a republican. For these reasons Mr. Kuhn contended that Mr. Schroeder's name should not appear on the ballot as a republican candidate. City Clerk Butler referred the objection to the city attorney and that official ad vised the clerk that there Is no' legal ob jection to the name going on the baDot. "Nowhere can I find anything which re quires candidates to give or declare their party affiliations previous to the filing of their applications," said the city attor day in his opinion, "nor do I find anything which requires that such candidate shall have been previously registered."

President Roosevelt Lauds Members of WASHINGTON, March l.-Pres:dent ' Roosevelt today gave a luncheon at th White House to tha members of the fa mous "tennis cabinet" and others who have been closely associated with him during the last seven years. Aside from the distinguished government officials who have served aa among the president's chief aides during his administration, and also as his companions at sports of different kinds, there were present men whom the president had made friends with when he was roughing it In the west years ago and with whom he had gone on numerous hunt ing expeditions. The occasion was memor able to those who surrounded the president today and the tatter's familiar words were not entirely f re from sadness. The presi dent in a brief speech laid emphasis on the point that no administration had given Its chief more loyal service, and he stated that he believed that the country had never had a more devoted set of public servants than those men through whom, he said, most of the work of his administration had been accomplished. Tha president In his remarks following tha luncheon, said: "Whether a man Is a cabinet minister, a bureau chief, a marshal, an Indian agent, a forecaster, a letter carrier, a member of tha Ufa saving aervlce, a clerk in a depart ment, or a workman In a navy yard, or whether he holds on of a hundred other positions, makes not tha slightest differ ence if he puts his heart and hla soul and his mind Into hla wort, and la content to accept as his chief reward the satisfaction that comes from knowledge that the work has been well don.

ONLY COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS Taylor of Custer Only One Who is Able to Break the Rule. rIALF OF BILL GONE THROUGH urther Consideration to Be Given it on Wednesday. GOVERNOR RETAINS POWER Kfforts to Have Remainder of Bank lug Hoard Miare In Appoint went Fall to Secnre Knongh Votes. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 1 (8peclal.) The dem ocratic majority In the house this after noon. In committee of the whole, put tha steam roller to work In the Interest of the banking bill. One half of the measure was read and then, on motion of Graff of Cutti ng, chairman of the banking committee. It was made a special order for Wednesday morning. ' : Numerous amendments were offered, but unless made by the banking committee. save In one or tvo Instances, they fell by tho wayside. One Instance wherein the banking com mittee did not offer the amendment adopted was In the case where Taylor of Custer se cured a change from the provision that the chairman of the Banking board, the gov ernor, had the right to designate where, the banks should deposit their reserve fund, not kept In their own vaults. Klllcn of Gage moved to strike out this. and In his talk he called the attention of the members to tho enormous power It would give the governor to have control of the reserve funds of all the banks. "If the governor has looked Into that sec tion and approves It ho certainly la not honest." said Klllcn In his talk regarding the seriousness of placing such power In one man's hands. Taylor of Custer then moved to amend the section by providing that the money should be deposited In those depositories approved by the State Banking board. This motion carried. Killen agreeing to It. Klllcn, Nettleton, Brown of Lancaster and Chase, of Dawes, tried to get th bill amended so that the other members of th bunking board beside th governor would not be mere figure heads. They wer voted down. They tried to get the bill amsndod so that the board should call for reports on banks In place of the governor, but they failed. When section ft. providing that the gov ernor shall appoint the secretary of th banking board was reached. Brown of Lancaster moved to Insert the word bank ing board Instead of governor. Speaker Pool secured recognition from Chairman Kuhl: "I move that the motion be laid on the table," said the speaker. Chairman Kuhl ruled the motion out of order and then It was voted down. Killen offered an amend ment, providing that the banking board shall have authority to approve the ap pointment of the secretary made by the bon rd : "I move the amendment be laid on the table," again said the speaker, ant again Kuhl had to rule his motion out or order for It is against the rule to table a motion in the committee of the whole. Taylor of York offered an amendment to the section, which provides that th ex aminer may go outside of the bank and Investigate securities amounting to 10 per cent of the loans. Taylor asked that this be Increased to 75 per cent. His motion Was promptly voted down. Taylor of Custer secured the adoption of a motion, which provided that stockholders of a bank must liave, subject to execution, property other than bank stock, equal to twice tho amount of the value of tha bank stock. In one cf his talks, Chase of Dawes said the legislature was taking a grave responsi bility In placing the governor of th state at the head of all tha banks. He compli mented Governor Bhallenberger as a good man and a good banker, but he said, no one knew what kind of a successor ho would have. But his speech had no effect. When Bowman moved the bill ba made a spcclul order for Wednesday morning there was some objection until It wag ex plained that several of the members de slied to be away tomorrow. When th vot was taken the voices were so few and low that the speaker had to ask the members if they were afraid to vote. He insisted then on a rising vote and the motion car ried, with "4 recorded In the affirmative When the house had listened to th re ports of standing committee right after It convened this afternoon, Kuhl moved to go Into committee of the whol for th discussion of the banking bill. Several of the republicans objected to the measure being rushed through, but thty wr out voted. I.lnc-h Denies Presence. W. B. Llnch objected to having been named as one of the Insurance lobbyists who were on the floor of the house last Friday working against the Nettleton bill. Mr. Liiuh said this morning ha was not on the floor of the house and neither did he have any Interest In th bill or object of Its passage. Instead of being on th floor of the house Friday, Mr. Llnch said he was in South Omaha, which would nat urally made It impossible for him to be, In Lincoln at the same time. As seceral par ties claim to have recognized Mr. Llnch on the floor Friday, It Is very evident Mr. Llnch has been the victim ot mistaken identity. An insurance man named Zlmmer, wha Is Interested In some kind of Insurance leg islation, is making himself conspicuous around the legislature and today, ha camped on a comfortable seat In the amen corner of the house. Under th resolution by Stoecker of Douglas county, any lobby ist who comes inside the railing of th house is subject to forcable ejectment. Bui Zlmmer set IMS' not to have been bothered by any one. There Is no question but whal ha has discussed Insurance legislation with, members, aside from appearing be for com mit lees. This Is direct violation of thi antl lobby law. but It Is evident this sntl lobby law has become a dead letter. Legislative Reference Ceatrerersr A Uttl controversy aouMuj lb Stat Ills-
