torlcal society officer may yet bring about
the Introduction of a bill to place the legls
latlve reference library' of the state under
'.he control of tlie State library commo
tion. The measure has been submitted to
a number of the memhers, but none has
ret decided the good of thin Institution
ncrlts the action.
At the January meeting- of the Nebraska
Historical society action waa taken to np
Dolnt a superintendent of the organliatlon
an salary, to have charge of nil the work
that IS done both In thj historical depart
ment llaelf and In the fiepai'ment at the
capltol, "given, over, to' legislative work.
Some tlmo before and quite unexpected!,
the plans of some of the members were
upaet by the selection of C. S. Palno of Lin
coln -'16 te secretary of the organization.
At that time A. B. Sheldon was, In charge
ef the legislative reference Jepartment and
was field agent for tho society, which ;l.i :o
he has held for several years and now
holds.
It Is proposed In a bill which Senator
Miller Is considering whether to put In to
morrow to turn the reference department
over to the 8tate Library commission and
practically to place it In charge of Mips
Templeton, who Is ihe secretary of the
commission. So-ne imminent men in the
historical society claim the change Is a
move against the Interests of c.ie organiza
tion and assert the bill, If Introduced, would
be a mov .to secure the election f Mr.
Palne as superintendent of tho society
proper and leave Mr. Sheldon high and
dry.
At th January nve'.ltitr of the historical
society tbe election of officers wast ;vrt
poned and nu call for fine has yet been
Issued. Mr. Paine is a ('"mociat and Mi.
Sheldon has also a record as a memhc of
the populist legislature and hlnco 'hen ac
tive, along the lines of the party now in
power. He has made the l"giUttve refer
ence department a big aid to members n
gaged In securing Inform U Ion about i ro

KOt TIM': PROCEEDINGS OF SENATES
Lincoln
Commission Charter
Bill
Favored In Senate,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March l.-(Bpeelal.) The son
Hat! recommended for passage the Lincoln
charter bill and a house bill drafted to
amend the charter of cities of the second
class of from 5,000 population to 25,000. At
tho same time Senator Miller, who had
pushed hla own charter bill providing a
commission form of government for Lin
coln, introduced "by request" the charter
bill prepared by Mayor Brown of Lincoln.
The committee of the whole waa obliged
to take notice of the charter bill for small
cities, H. R. 129, by Leliligh of Otoe, be
cause Senator Howell of Douglas made a
strong plea for it on the ground it was
necessary to rush it through to prevent tho
city council of Nebraska City from grant,
lng a renewal of a franchise to the water
j company 1 nthat city without sumblttlng
It to a vote of the people. Senator Howell
said It was reprehensible for a corporation
to get a foothold In a small city and the
legislature should see to It that whatever
possible to be done was done to help out
the small city dwellers. , .
Randall of Madison objected to the char
ter in one particular because It prohibited
a person' or corporation outside the city
from contracting with the city for power
or light, but the senate overruled the ob
jection recommending the emasure for
third rending and later passing the bill on
third reading.
The Lincoln charter bill, 8. F. 260. by Mil
ler of . Lancaster, was :TeWimodd 'for
passage almost without f discussion, '..tnere
being no manifest Opposition. Accompany
ing the bill were two companion.1 measures,
one 8. P. 252, td provide for non-partisan
members of the, school board in Lincoln
and S. F. 263, to provide that where a sani
tary dlBtrict for the purpose pf straighten
ing a stream, exists within the boundaries
of a city, the council of the city shall be
the trustees thereof. These, Were recom
mended to pass.
The senate indefinitely postponed the bill
by Henry of Colfax, raising the salaries
of county superintendents and one by
Miller of Lancaater, giving the regents the
power to establish new departments at the
State university, the latter because a house
bill similar in every particular is already
in the senate having passed the lower
body.
The committee of the whole took up
8. F. 28 by Fuller of Seward, a blU. that
will prevent the State Board of Equaliza
tion from raising or lowering the total
valuations of the state as has been per
mitted under the present revenue law. The
discussion of this, question raised a. number
of political Issues and the senators en
gaged in a spirited controversy, finally
recommending the bill for passage by a
strict party vote of 17 to 10.
The senate passed the following bills:
H. R. 160, by Begole of Gage Prohibiting
secret fraternities In high schools.
H. R. 1-3. by Hushee of Kimball Appro

JURY READY FOR SCHOFIELD
Man Chara-ed with Rlede Murder
Will Face District Court
Today.
A Jury to try Gerald Schofleld on a
tharge of first degree murder was secured
yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock after fifty
three talesmen had been examined. Schoo
fleld is indicted for tho murder of John
iRiede, a South Omaha saloon keeper last
May.
County Attorney English will ask the
death penalty for Schofleld If his questions
to Jurors about objections to cnpital pun
ishment are significant. The Jury selected
Is as follows:
Lars Jansen. 2105 North Forty-second
street.
C. H. Plckard, Dundee.
J. C. Edgerly, Dundee.
G. H. Hall. 1422 Military avenue.
Anton liloomquest. Waterloo.
Martin Jensen, 1813 Capitol avenue.
William Jensen, 2318 North Twenty
fourth street.
C. C. Dfty. 1722 Capitol avenue.
John Gsrrtty, R. F. D. No. 3. Benson.
A. M. Jackson 426 Poppleton avenue.
Otto Matthers. Station A Omaha,
t Schofleld, with Oeorge Bond, entered
Ptlede's saloon at Twenty-fourth and F
streets last May and Bond shot Rlede dead.
Bond Is now serving a life term for the
crime.
It Is asserted that Schofleld was In another
room at the time of the shooting and the
case tray turn on whether he can be held
as an accessory. The question of the Intent
of the two men when they entered the
saloon probably will play a part. Bond on
his trial put up a story of self defense
saying that he kicked Rlede's dog, thst
Relde drew on him and he fired to aV
his own life. The Jury did not fancy the
narrative. ,
County Attorney English and Assistant
Attorney L. J. Piattl are prosecuting and
J. L. Kaley and A. H. Murdock are de
fending Schofield.
The trial of Mrs. Etta Banner for mur
del1 has gone over until March 15. Attorney
Gerlng of the defense Is tryjng a murder
case at Plattsmouth, which will last over
Monday, March 8.

bers of the class. Mrs. Fleming feels con
fident of the outcome. "The niont promi
nent feature of the fair will be the play,"

preparation, So far, little has been defin
itely decided upon, but the general plan
bj to make this fair the best that wo
possibly can."

FOREST RESERVE BILL IS PASSES
Appalachian and White Slonntala
Meaanre la Amended to Apply
to All Statealt Son Goes
to Conference.
WASHINGTON, March l.-Transactlng
Its business amidst scenes of great confus
ion the house today gave every evidence
that the present congress Is drawing to a
close, "
In his endeavor to maintain a semblance
of order the speaker was constantly
pounding his gavel at members and ad
monishing members to cease conversation.
After two hours of stormy debate the
so-called Appalachian and White mountain
forest reserve bill, amended 6 as to apply
Its provisions to all states, was passed by
a narrow majority of ten. Measures of this
character had been before the house in
one shapn or another for many years and
today's Action witnessed the partial con
summation of a policy In connection with
the consummation of the forests unceas
ingly pressed by, it advocates. By the
terms of the bill the national forest reser
vation commission la created for the pur
pose of acquiring by purchase or condemna
tion the lands needed to promote or in
protect the navigability of streams on
whose watershed they lie. The house bill
Is a substitute for that of the senate and
the measure will now go to conference.
The final conference- reports on tho army,
naval and fortifications appropriation bills
were referred to and the measures will
now go to the president for signature. In
addition to this a vast amount of miscel
laneous business was disposed of. A reso
lution designed as a concession to the so
called Insurgents amending the rules s
as to provide one day each week for a call
of committees gave rise to Immediate dis
cussion and waa adopted by a narrow mar
gin of six, the vote standing 168 to It??.
After a short discussion the house almost
unanimously insisted on Its disagreement
with the senate on the amendment to the
legislative, executive and judicial appropri
ation bill raising the salary of tse president,
vice president, 'tha speaker and I'nlted
States Judges and the bill for the third time
went back to conference.
The house at 6:66 p. m. recessed until
11 o'clock tomorrow.

Sundry Clrll and Military Academy
Appropriation Rllla Passed.
WASHINGTON, March l.-The sundry
civil bill , appropriating $139,000,000 and the
military academy bill carrying an appro
priation of S2.ft41.ono were passed by the
senate today.
Senator Bailey calling attention to com
munications from heads of departments In
response to Senator, calling for papers and
Information, stated that such replies re
ceived from the secretaries' of treasury,
commerce and labor and war and navy had
been sent "by direction of the ' president,"
which he declared waa inferentlally a dental
of the right of congreas to demand such
Information without the Intervention of the
president. Presenting a resolution by di
recting that all such communications be
returned to the heads of departments from
whom they had,, ben received, Mr. Bailey
attempted to. aecuy lis passage, which was
opposed by Mr. Aldrlch and other senatois
on the ground that the orderly way to
dispose of a "matter of such Importance
was by sending It to a committee. After
debate It was allowed to lie on the table
until tomorrow.
At 6:60 p. ni. the senate adjoined until

Senate Committee
Hopelessly at Sea
on Steel Merger
Disagreement Will Be Reported on
Resolution for Investigation at
This Morning's Meeting.
WASHINGTON. March 1. Th aenat
committee on judiciary toda voted to
report a disagreement on the resolution
providing for an lavaaragatlon of the ab
sorption ot th Tennessee Coal and Iron
company by th United States Steel corpor
ation. The decision, not to submit either of the
reports of the sub-committee was reached
after a great deal of discussion. Finally
Senator Fulton moved that a disagreement
be reported and that each senator should
should have the Individual right reserved
to him to make such expression of views
to the senate as he desired.
This motion waa adopted by a vote of
seven to five, the affirmative vote being
Messrs Clark of Wyoming, Depew, Foraker,
Dillingham, Knox, Fulton and Clarke of
Arkansas, and the negative votes were
Nelson, Kittredge, Culberson, Overman and
Rayner. Senator Bacon waa not preaent.
No vote waa taken by the committee on
either side of the reports of the sub-committee.
Mr. Foraker suggested that the
committee should report to the senate that
the president Wan not authorised by law
to permit the merger, such report being
In direct response to the Inquiry of the
senate. Mr. Foraker finally gave way to
the suggestion of Mr. Fulton. The views of
Mr. Bacon were expressed In a letter to
the committee and it is expected that
later he will amplify these and present
them to the senate.
Any views submitted to the senate will
be considered "Individual" reports, not
having the sanction of the committee.
This In generally regarded a a com
promise, aa a number of senator had
drafted a report declaring the merger to
be In violation of the Sherman anti-trust
law, and rebuking President Roosevelt for
his part In the transactiona, while others
declared it was not the function of the
committee to pass upon these questions.

Rocky mountain and Pacific coast sections
and special emphasis has been placed upon
the inquiry concerning the Japanese.
The school is declared by the commission
to be the most potent Influence In promot
ing the assimilation and Americanization
of the Immigrant.
Treatment accorded steejage passengers
at sea has been given consideration and the
agents of the commission In many In
stances have come from foreign ports In
the guise of Immigrants. It was found that
the steerage of today Is far better In many
ways than in the past, but that there Is
still great room for improvement.
The commission expects to be able to re
port at an early date the effect of inter
marriage between the native born and
immigrant and with one another to deter
mine whether soil Influence results, or
whether beneficial influence will not be
felt. Peonage 1 being made the subject
of a special Inquiry.
One of the 'most interesting subjects Is
an Investigation being conducted In nearly
1(0 cities to show to what extent the Im
migrant Is th recipient of charity.
