Humphrey of Lancaster moved today that
Hi action of the house bs reconsidered.
Shoemaker -opposed because i.lf that proce
dure were to" oontlnue, he said, the house
would be doing nothing else the rest of the
session. 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.
".' Dead Bill Reaarrected.
Nettletoh of Clay then got In with a mo
tion to reconsider the vote on H. It. 309,
which was killed last rlday. This bill ap
propriated $6,000 for Improvements In the
aub fish hatchery In Cherry county.' Kel
Iey of Furnas moved to substitute his ag
ricultural afrm bill instead of the fish
hatchery measure, but was ruled out of
crder. Kuhl, Heffernan, Harrington, Carr
and Chase spoke' for the-eNttleton motion
and Leldlgh spoke against It. The motion
carried and the bill will be sent back to

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.

The court has adopted the revenue theory

"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.

STOCKMEN ASK FOR INSPECTORS
Want State to Supplement Work of
Federal Government.
(From a "Staff Correspondent.) '
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."
Kansas now has a S-cent far rate under
an agreement between the railroads and the
state pending the decision In the Missouri

a gas plant Is In some respects different
from a railroad, that a railroad property,
properly built and properly managed,
should over and above expenses make a
return of $ per cent per annum. 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

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.''

They were to get H at the office of Deputy
County Attorney Coad at 1 p. m., but at t
the actual turning over of the Jewels took
place. The pearls have been In the office
of Captain Moetyn. Bavls was permitted
to go at once on a personal bond of $30,
which it was understood he would forfeit.
Identify tike Pearls.
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.
