Thomas of Douglas opposed the motion because, he said, auch action would be', contrary to the constitution. The con stitution, he argued, provided that billa shall be read at large on three different days and then It shall be voted upon. The vote had been taken and the bill had been killed and that settled It. Nettleton of Clay argued that the bill Kself would not be reconsidered, but that the house had a right to reconsider It a action. !faker Pool overruled the point of order raised by Thomas and upon a roll call the motion by Humphrey was defeated by' a vote of 4? to 28.

OIlle'Frlsnarr Bill Dead. - The house unceremoniously dumped luto the waste -basket the Ollla-Ketchuiri pri mary amendment bill, which the senate filed up laboriously and hoped would be a solution of the primary law amendments that are a portion of the democratic plat-1 form pledges. The news was first Im parted to the Introducers of the bill when the house clerk dumped the rejected docu ment upon the senate clerk's desk. The senators were not given an opportunity for a hearing by .the house committee and had no Idea the bill was being considered and were mad cloar through. The house . has taken favorable ' action upon a primary bill by Kuhl of Cedar, which I evidently tha one the representa tives aspect to force the senate to accept. Tha Kuhl bill provides for a platform con vention early la the summer, the date be - Ing fixed In July, when the declarations of the parties, shall be fixed and following which primary filings shall be made. In many other respects tbe Kuhl bill agrees with the Ollla measure. . . The senate will devote this afternoon te the - discussion ' of Senator Miller's county option bill, 8. F. 809, providing for a vote by counties' on option on petition of 10 par Cent of the voters of the countrified with the provision that the vote shall not be taken oftener than once In two years. The bill specifics that If a county goes wet, there shall be nothing In It that will pro hlblt the trustees or council or licensing board of such village from refusing to grant a license If they so desire. Senator Ketchum of Thayer, who Is a minister. Is said to be considering an amendment to be submitted which will per mit cities voting against the way the county on option, to be governed by two-thirds vote, while the county remains as the majority vote goes. To Protect the School Food. In order to safeguard the school furtd of the state, the senate today recalled from the house S. F. 195, by Ransom of Douglas, which provided for the Invest ment of the permanent school money of Nebraska In bonds of cities, school die trlcts, drainage districts and .irrigation districts In addition to the approved bonds of states and counties as the law at pres ent provides. A recently enapted constt tutional amendment gave the legislature the right to fix the manner In which till school. money should be Invested, It being formerly fixed by the constitution In state and national bonds. Senator Kan som Introduced the bill,' and as drawn It merely added bonds of metropolitan cities to the approved list of securities the Board of Educational Lands and Funds might buy. In 'the Judiciary committee the proposition waa made to extend the securities to bonds at all cities and school districts and even to drainage districts and irrigation districts. Today Senator Klng speaking on a mat ter of personal privilege, suggested that the senate had acted without due con sideration and, while" he did not make the motion to recall the 61 U,y He Intimated that It 'waa doubtless an, unWtse act to permit the - Investment-' of school" money which had always been' guarded with the utmost care In irrigations hands which were issued praotlcally without - lmlt, Senator Ransom followed, .with the ad mission he had not been satisfied with the amendments to the tHt; though he had made no objection to their being In corporated In his bill. He moved the bill be recalled. Senator Brown defended the Investment of this money in drainage district bonds and Senator Tlbbeta said the Investment - In Irrigation bonds waa not a bad Investment for school funds, he having a special bill to that end In addition to the one under consideration. Senator Raymond of Boott's Bluff was Inclined to deprecate any action that would throw discredit on Irrigation bonds. The senate thought as did Senator King and the bill waa recalled. Anaeaded Child Law. H. R. 498, by Bstes of Cass, Is attracting considerable attention and Is of especial Interest to every newspaper publisher In Nebraska. Mr. Bates Is seeking to amend the present libel laws so that when a plaintiff secures damages for a libelous publication from one paper that Judgment may be used la mitigation by another paper which reprinted the same article to cut down, the amount of damages that may ho cured. The bill Is still .In the hands of the house Judiciary committee, but Colonel Bates le making an effort to have It reported out shortly. Those wTio have Investigated the measure have told Cckrel Batrs It Is a fair and square measure and should be passed. Under the present libel laws should a libelous article be published In one news paper and then reprinted Innocently In an other the second newspaper cannot use the fact that the first has already paid dam ages as evidence to have the Judgment secured against the second cut down. teas Sharks Are Foiled. By the passage In the house of Repre sentative Thomas' bill to prohibit salary loan agencies from plying their trade In Nebraska the campaign to prevent this class of business In Nebraska hss been given another boost. The bill now goes Into the senate, where It Is likely to have harder sledding, but where nevertheless there Is a decided sentiment among many members In Its favor. Tbe bill la Intended to shut off a number of agencies who by securing from borrowers a pledge of a portion of their unearned salaries on loans have. In many Instance, the details of which have been made public, caused an endless amount of trouble and In several case's tragedies. A strong lobby has been maintained against this class of bills. H. B. Fleharty of South Omaha has been about the corri dors on numerous occasions working on this proposition, and while the Thomaa bill was pending In the house Charles E. Strat ton, formerly of Ashland, Neb., later of Omaha, and now one of the loan shark kings of Denver, was In Lincoln doing his best to defeat this and to blunt the senti ment in favor of kindred measures. Mr. Stratton has a branch agency In Lincoln. He has won fame of a certain kind and great wealth In Denver, where the news papers of that city have frequently used his name In headlines of black letter. The senate last week killed a bill intro duced by Miller of Lancaster, copied after the Michigan law. that would have per mitted the organisation of companies of responsible men authorised to loan money at about 12 per cent a year, and Intended to cope with the loan shark evil by the enactment of a law permitting competition along a basis of fair business, to the end that the small borrower may be aided In stead of being kept constantly In debt. The Miller bill was declared unconstitu tional by the senate Judiciary committee. as to snother. The one theory Is helpful to ths one side.' and the other theory help ful to the other side; the one theory to the one side In freight, and the other theory to the other side In passenger. But an arbitrary splitting of theories Is Illog ical and unfair, and cannot be recognised The court has adopted the revenue theory because a great number of the best rail road experts of the country, against a very limited number to the contrary, has so testified. Every court that has. ever had this question before It Insofar ss I am advised by the briefs of counsel and my own Independent Investigation, has so held In tha cases of the supreme court of the United States; in the two cases by two circuit Judges of this circuit; by three dis trict Judges of this circuit, and by the su preme court of Florida. Kara I a are of Varlees Roads. "The passenger earnings under the t-cent fare law of 1907, allowing nothing for extra coet over Interstate business, give no return whatever to the Rock Island, St. Louts . Hannibal. Kansas City, Clinton Springfield and tha Great Western. Ths other companies will have the following: The St. Louis A San Francisco, between I and 4 per cent; the Santa Fe, between 4 and 6 per cent; the Kansas City Southern, a small fraction over I per cent; the Mis souri, Kansas A Texas, between 2 and I per cent; the Burlington, between S and 4 per cent. But all this Is arrived at by allowing no extra cost of service. But to add the extra cost for freight and pas senger, there are no earnings over ex penses. This is confiscation under the con stitution. " "It being a legislative act and not a Judicial one, this court cannot fix rates. If it could, IH-cent passenger rates would be fixed for the stronger roads and t for the others. But that is for the legislature acting Itself with experts, stieh as the state employed In these cases, or through a com mission with like assistance." Judge McPherson also aaya In the decis ion: "When the atatutea In question were enacted It was believed by many that by reducing the fare there would be much more travel. For a month or so this proved to be true. But with the novelty gone, the testimony shows that the Increase has been less than . I per cent and- more nearly 1 per cent." He says further, as to the abolition of passes, that the evidence shows the pas senger revenue Is Increased by reason thereof less than 1 per cent.

' LINCOLN, March 8.-(Speclal.)-Stock-men of Nebraska from various sections, both east and west, have been urged by the Stock Shippers' association of Ne braska to come to Lincoln tomorrow to present their claim to an appropriation of $16,0110 each year for two years to help along the Inspection of cattle from shipping stations. The appropriation Is In further ance of a bill, H. R. 363, by Fogarty of Greeley, to provide for a board to super vise the work of Inspection and supplement the work of the government Inspectors. During the latter half of the last year of Governor Sheldon's administration, the governor and a number of leading cattle men went to Washington when the state wss placed under quarantine for scabies and kindred diseases and secured from Secretary of Agriculture Wilson a prom ise that the government would place In spectors in the stVte to pass upon cattle sent to local markets and out of the state, and with this order In force the quarantine was lifted. ..There was a pledge made at the time 1 hat the ext legislature would be requested to make an appropria tion so that Nebraska might do its share in helping along this work. The government put In Inspectors and has expended about $28,000 In the state to the great benefit of shippers and to the facilitation of business. The purpose of the state appropriation Is that inspectors may be furnished at shipping stations so live stock shippers msy be certain their cattle may not have to be dipped before leaving the state or before being admitted to market points within the state. The de tention of cattle at a dipping station, be sides being an expense to the shipper, leaves an opening for shrewd brokers to make purchases at reduced prices, hence the general sentiment among cattlemen that the state should do Its share to help the government add insure the continuance of government Inspectors In the state snd obviate the possibility of a future quaran tine. ' ' Experts who have examined the figures covering shipments to South Omaha yards say that the government Inspection dur ing the period from May, 1908, to January, 1909, reduced ths number of diseased animals received at those markets 75 per cent be. low the number received during tha same period In 1907. MAY AFFECT KANSAS' ACTION Senate Committer and Governor Stabbs at ! on I,ow Fare Bill. TOPEJKA, Kan., March g.-The aenate committee on railroads today submitted an adverse report on the -cent fare bill which had already passed the house. This came Immediately upon the receipt of the news of the decision of Judge Smith McPherson holding the Missouri t-cent fare law uncon stitutional. Governor Stuhbs gave out an interview In which he said: "My opinion that the legislature of this state should ensct a 2-cent fare law Is not changed by the decision In the Mis souri case. I do not believe the court of Missouri had any evidence that the rate In that state was not remunerative or con fiscatory excepting what evidence the rail roads themselves furnished."

And con sidering all the evidence, the evidence farlly shows thst all of these roads were properly and economically built and are being properly and economically managed, and that after paying the expenses-tor maintenance and operation, that there Is less than per cent of return, and not more than I per cent upon any of them, and aa to some ef them a deficit, taking the property as above stated within the state of Missouri at its fair valuation. "And this is so without reference to bonds, because In no case do the bonds bear per cent Interest. But taking the bonds Into consideration, there is still not to exceed 1 per ciat returns, and In many cases a deficit after considering all debt and credits upon the true valuation for the state business. There Is no evi dence that any of tbe existing bonds were Improperly Issued either as to the smounls or rates of Interest. "It Is absolutely necessary that many trains, both passenger and freight, do both a local and Interstate business. Even the fast trains stopping at but few stations In the state carry state passengers between such stations. And the same Is true as to freight trains carrying freight both la car load and leas than carload lots. 1 "The valuation of the roads has been fixed by the court aa shown by the find ings of faqt. Ths entire state and Inter state earnings of each of tbe roads within the state Is known and fixed to a certainty Tha expenses are known and fixed. To apportion these expenses must be don ac cording te one of ths two theories, and the correct theory Is that according to revenue. One theory-or other must be ap piled to both freight and passenger ex penses, and the court should not adopt the one theory as to part and the other theory OLD RATE REMAINS FOR WHILE Railroads Not Yet Decided When Chance Will Be Made. ST. LOUIS, March Whether old rates will be restored -bfTatlroads In Missouri as a result of Judge McPherson's decision In the United States district court at Kansas City has not been definitely de cided, officials . with headquarters In St Louis today said. Henry Miller, vice presi dent and general manager of the Wabash, said: "It Is not likely that any new rate would be adopted or the old om restored until after conferences In which the decision was thoroughly considered." Assistant General Passenger Agent Fen- wlck of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas felt sure that the old rates would ultimately be restored In the event Judge McPherson's decisidh stands. 'I am sure the old rates will be restored," he said, "but the state might appeal from the decision by Judge McPherson and thus tie up the matter again indefinitely.''

On arriving In the city Monday morning Mr. and Mrs. Helnee went Immediately to the office of Acting Chief of Police Mostyn, who showed them the necklace. First, how ever, they were required to describe It, and this they did with precision. Mrs. Heinie said she had three necklaces of the sort, all made by the same Jeweler, and each with a certain .odd and Intricate catch. The catch entered largely Into the identification and Captain Mostyn and other police officials are thoroughly satis fied wtih the identification. Mrs. Helms betrayed a fear on her ar rival that this necklace was not the val uable one she had lost and that the finder might be playing a trick, but thla fear was readily dispelled. Mr. Hetnse Is a brother of F. Augustus Helnze, the copper king, whose connection with the Knickerbocker bank In New York caused Its collapse In the fU of 1W7, which resulted in the panic of that yoar. F. Augustus Helnse was mixed up with Mar cus Daly In the copper mines of Montana before the latter died a few years ago. 'Mrs. Helnse and 1, In company with my brother and his wife, spent the evening of November W, Thanksgiving, at the Knicker bocker hotel." said Mr. Helnse, after eing closeted for an hour with tne officers of the police and detective departments. We left there late at night, about 11 or iz o'clock, and when we got home Mrs. Hetnxe noticed the loss of the necklace. We have been searching for It since, as the newspapers all know. Feared m Fake. 'I have never given up hope of finding It, for it Is rather bard to dispose of a piece of Jewelry of the sire pf this neck lace, and as the months dragged by my hopes never waned. Mrs. Helnse was not so sure, and all the way out here she kept wondering if after all we might not be leading a wild goose chase and the necklace be found to be a cheap Imitation, but as soon as she saw It she was glad we took the trip, for It Is the genuine and no mistake. . ' "Oh, no, it ts not worth that," replied Mr. Helnae. when asked If the value of the necklace was In the neighborhood of tlOO.OOO, but he would not place any value on It. He said that It had no associated value, that It was no family heirloom, but waa a gift to his wife from him at Christ mas time a few years ego. Mrs. Helnse Is a pretty brunette, stylishly dressed. Her husband Is a banker and broker In the easternmetropolis. They will be In Omaha for several days, probably. business associates of Mr. Joyce.
