Feb. 24,-Whst Senator Vnprw characterized as a farewell unique I In th senate' history was delivered today ; by James Gordon, senator from. Mississippi, I who said goodbye to the senators with whom he had served for the last sixty days. 1 Practically the entire senate listened with I rapt attention to the address of the vener I able Mlsslsslpplan. Beginning with the statement that the I deadlock In Mississippi had been broken j and that Mr. Percy had ben chosen to fake bla place. Colonel Qordon said that he had felt a desire to express his feelings towards the senate before returning to his home In j Mississippi. j He then told how, when t years old. he ; had bean presented with a toy board which' was checked over with different objects, soma of them good and some of them bad. On of these objects Was the capltol of the United States and his mother had told him, ha said, that If he would be good and would llvs a correct life he might some day hops to sit In the seat of the big man who was pictured there. "She never had told me a lie and I knew that what she. said was true. 1 knew that I would some day occupy the seat of that , big man and God helping ma I got there ,f yetiterday (referring to the fact that for a time yesterday he had occupied the seat of the presiding offloer). I waa born a multi millionaire," aald Colonel Gordon, "but I never waa happy until I got rid of my surplus money. I spent much of It ca my laves and the rest of my funds I spent like a gentleman and got rid of the entire encumbrance. ; s. Sorry for Millionaires. "I hare listened with Interest to the cpeeohe here and the more I hear of them the sorrier I am for the millionaires . Why, If there Is a fallow In the United States that I am sorry for It Is Rockefeller. He can't srot on the street with one of his grandchildren unless he Is afraid that some on .mlgntt kill hinv . ...' ... ' Why, ' t' know that he lovea ona of those children much better than he lovea his money. I think Mr. Rockefeller la a , good man. I see his employes speak well of him, and I am told that ha never had a strike. I am told also that he has given muoh money to churches and education. Now, I don't suppose that everybody will like that, but those who don't like it can put It In their pipes and smoke It. "I'd like for Mr, Rockefeller to come down to Mississippi and run his pipe lines through my land. He could have right-of-way for all the lines he wanted, for I know that In my time coal oil has been reduced from 40 cents to 10 cents per Ka on." Foils t, Bled and Skedaddled. Reforrlng to the fact that he had been' a confederate soldier, Mr. Gordo nsatd: "I fought and bled, but I did not die. However, I skedaddled frequently," He then told of some of his exploits In the war and how he had captured General Coburn of Indiana and General - Shatter. Shatter, he said, had fired at him five different times during the confederate charge without hitting htm. He aald that whenever the union and confederate sol diers met they were always good friends. Asserting thai ha loved the negro, he de clared that he wanted Mason and Dixon's Una .obliterated from the map of the United States because he did not want any more strife. few more blab-mouthed people down Our way talk differently," he said, "but they are so Insignificant that they are not worth cussing, they are not worth wasting Invectives upon." I Tribal to Soldiers. Paying a tribute to soldiers of both the horth and the south, Colonel Gordon said: "Tou say as well attempt to storm the I heights of heaven and pluck the diadem from Jehova'a crown as to take away from either of them any of the glory of the rec ords o ft he two men who stood under the tree at Appomattox and brought the war to a close." "This Is the finest body of men that I ever associated with." he continued, speak ing of the senate Itself, and he beamed upoi his colleagues. Again, returning to the negro question, "Yie said: "We don't want to hurt the nigger;' why I love Mm and to convince you that I do I will quote from my own poetry concern ing him." He than read two of his poems In which trmg personal sentiment for the cplored people of Mie south was expressed Id rhymes. Referring to Senator Heyburn's recent protest against General Lee s stAtue being allowed to remain In Statuary hill. Colonel Gordon Invited Senator Heyburn to visit him on his plantation, and said that he was sure that after the Idaho senator had seen the south through his spectacles he would take off his hat to L, as he. Gordon, was 'willing to doff his to Grant. MAJOR JOHN CROFT IS ILL Aged Mm Who liur to Omaha In r.atty ! llrf- to Uo to llos;f.l.

BAILEY Texan Attacks Proposed Act Upon Constitutional Grounds. BURTON OFFERS AMENDMENTS They Are Designed to Reconcile Differences Over Investments. POSTAL BILL IN THE HOUSE Chairman Weeks Explains Pro visions of Appropriation Art for 1011 Service Grows Rapidly. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-Decldrd prog ress waa made In the senate today 'towards the disposition of the postal savings bank hill. In addition to a striking speech hy Pennlor Bailey nd an amendment offered by Renator B'Vton, which Is offered as a oompromlsr of the various differences on the quest' .S4he disposal of the funds arising frP a v'Val deposits. Senator Carter suid - ac jr many previous fu tile eff..' Vft'.ng next T'mssday, March J, i'r or a vote on the bill. There was no objection to naming & day, and senators appeared pleased that a time had been fixed for the final disposition of the measure, which It must be confessed, has dragged Its progress through the sen ate. Mr. Carter made his request immediately after the close of Senator Halley's speech. The time was well selected, for the reason that many senators have been waiting to har from the Texas senator before agree ing to the fixing of any time for the ul timate disposal of the bill. After Mr. Bailey had concluded many expressed the opinion that he had thrown much light upon constitutional questions Involved In the subject He had a splendid audience, both on the floor of the senate and in the galleries and hlr speech waa received with general favor. Mr. Owen gave notice that he would speak tomorrow on his proposed amend ment, substituting a government guaran tee of bank deposits for the suggested postal banks. Mr. Bailey's Speech. Mr. Bailey discussed the dlfenernt clauses of the constitution, under which the sav ings bank bill had found support. Be ginning with the commerce clause, he de clared It to be a grotesque absurdity to say that such an Institution as a postal savings bank system could be established under It. ' , Referring to the contention that the, bill was Justified under the borrowing clau.se of the eonatttutlon, he asked Its advocates whether the real purpose of the measure was that of borrowing money. If It was, then, that It was constitutional, but con ceiving the object of this clause to be that of enabling the government to perform Its fnuctlons in time of emergency, he con tended that this measure would not Justify the contention made under this clause. If customs houses were as numerous-aa postoffices. said Senator Bailey, they would have been as apt to be chosen for this business. The business proposed was a purely fiscal operation, he declared, and made no pretense of any connection with the operations of the postal service. He contended that the citizens had a right to do with money as he pleased, as he had with any other property. Rlsrhts of Cltlsens. "If you can bring money from Its hid ing place In one way you can In another." he said. "You have Just as much power to compel the cltlxen to supply money by threatening him with punishment as you have to tempt him by guaranteeing to Wm a prof it. on it. If you can employ a pre mium you can employ a penalty. You have no more right to prescribe what a cltlxen shall do-with his money than you have to say what he shall do with his land." He then attempted to ahow that the pur pose of the bill waa to encourage economy and thrift, and he quoted the message of President Roosevelt Of I90T In support of this contention, entering upon an argument to show that this was not part of the duty of he government but, on the other hand, that It was an unwarranted obtrusion of the government Into the affairs of Its citi zens. Knterlng then Into a discussion of the ab stract rights of cltlsenshlp, Mr. Bailey de clared it was a libel to say that people could not take care of their own money, and declared that only through struggle and suffering could a strong people be de veloped. He contended that people must learn to take the chances and stand upon their own responsibility In business affairs. Mr. Burton's Amendments. In an effort to reconcile the differences among senators, Senator Burton today In troduced an amendment to the section pro viding for the disposal of savings funds. Four methods of Investing the funds are provided. They direct, first, for a reserve adequate to meet withdrawals, then the provision permits the purchase of the se curities of the national government Invest ment In state or city bonds as authorized by the Vreeland-Aldrich emergency cur rency law, and In loans to banks on ap proved security. formed a high opinion of Judge Leslie when the court fined Fltchett. Thus Judge Leslie soaked them both and retained each man's good will. Fltchett heard the Judge planned to move to pretty Dundee. Forthwith he appeared at ths court house. "I understand Balrd Is willing to sell his house," said Fltohett, "It Is a good pro perty. Why don't you buy It?" Next day In came Mr. Balrd. "Judgs," said he. "I hear Old Fltchett wishes to sell and he has a good house, snd you are coming out our way, I under stand. I Just wanted to tell you It Is a good proposition. You could go farther and do worse." But alas! Jndgs Leslie has decided to tsks another piece of property and Messrs Fltchett and Balrd bid fair to have each other for neighbors for some time to coma From the Cincinnati Enquirer. ' UNION PACIFIC CONTRACT LET New Headquarters Will Be Built by Thompson-Starrett Company. BUILDING PRICE TO BE $1,339,000 Philip nicker, Young Man of 80, -Will Have Charge of the Con . traction, Which .Is to Be sln Saen as Possible. New headquarters for the Union Pacific railroad In Omaha are to be built by the Ttompson-STarrett !tructtm company, of Chicago, builders" 'or the-new Brandels theater. The contract calls for an expendi ture of Sl,39,(0w which Is S338SO00 more than was originally Intended for the new home of the Harriman lines. The enormous sum appropriated by the railroad Is exclusive of the price of the land, which. In Itself, Is a valuable piece of property. The sltev Is at the northeast corner of Fifteenth and Dodge streets, on the location of the old Labor Temple: While the Union Pacific will go ahead with Its headquarters building and Is also a party to the erection of the new Union depot at Kansas City, the hope for en larged station facilities In Omaha seems to be dwindling somewhat. Three roads, It Is said, are holding back In ratifying the proposed Improvements. Orders to raze the old Labor Temple and the adjoining low buildings on Dodge street will be Issued early In March. Exca vations for the new twelve-story head quarters building will then begin. Jarvls Hunt, the architect, Is expected to visit Omaha shortly in connection with the work. Youg Man Will Bnlld It. One of the noteworthy ' features In the letting of the contract to the Thompson Starrett company Is the announcement that a comparatively young man, Philip Hlckey, will have charge of the big Job. Ten years ago he was a humble clerk In a grocery store and began construction work as a timekeeper. At 30 years of age Philip Hlckey has In charge the erection of more great steel and concrete skyscrapers than any other en gineer in the United States certainly more than any other of his age in the country. He Is now enroute to Seattle to put the finishing touches on a steel structure for the American Steel and Wire company. After he has approved the building and formally turned It over to the company, he will come to Omaha to take charge of the new Union Pacific home. "The grocery business was too slow for me," he said, with a smile. "From the time I left grammar school until I was 30 I used to work behind the counter, but be came tired of the Job. 1 Then I went to work as a time keeper for the Fuller Construc tion company In Chicago. "I wanted to go to college and study engineering, but I couldn't spare the time, (Continued on Second Page.)

Bates, as receiver, was today in charge of the affairs of the National City bank of Cambridge, which was closed, yesterday by the comptroller of the currency on the dis covery of a shortage of $144,000. ' ' ' This amount. It is said today, may wot be the total of the defalcation. Coleman, the young bookkeeper of the bank who Is said to be in the west, kept a private account at the bank and another as treasurer of tho Boston branch of the Kissel Kar Kom pany, of which he was the manager. It Is said he would give his checks for consid erable amounts, which were cashed at out side banks.

As hearty every prosperous farmer bas an .'incubator, he may not ohly hatch his eggs, bat during the time of Incubation he may test sbout five batches of seed corn In the same In cubator. The temperature Is Just right and there is plenty of moisture In the In cubators to .make the corn sprout. Never has a crusade of any. kind been started In Omaha which has so thor oughly been- taken up all over the atate as the campaign for better seed corn. It Is finding a responsive chord In all sec tions of Nebraska and bankers, farmers, grain dealers, creamery men and the press are all lending all possible aid In securing as much publicity as possible for the cam paign, "Where can we get seed corn?" This Is the question which is now being asked hlundreds of times all over the state. It la not ths purpose of the publicity bu reau of the Commercial club to advertise any special growers of seed corn, but the tests made by the club show that there Is considerable good corn to be had. There Is a considerable amount of 1908 corn other than that held by the seed houses, but In answering the inquiries the publicity bureau says: Pointers for Corn Growers. "By all means get teed corn of your neighbors if possible or select every ear planted from your own corn by the germi nation test. It Is better than sending away for seed, as It If adapted to the locality in which It la to be planted. The. corn pfant like a hone, must be acclimated, and corn from one part of the state may not be adapted to another part. Always get seed corn In the ear, as it Is easier to tell Just what Is being secured." Tested seed corn Is being sold for from $2 to $3.60 per bushel In small quantities by the seed houses and farmers who make a specialty of selling corn for seed. Tests of some of this dorn made by the Com mercial club ahow It to be excellent seed testing from 88 to 95 per cent. Bankers continue to take the gravest In terest In the seed corn situation. F. M.

It involves J me selection or tne securing of seed corn for the crop of 1910. The failure or suc cess of the crop depends upon It. Farmers Most Take Warning. "If the farmers heed the warning, Ne braska will continue prosperous, but If they do not, and they proceed to plant corn for seed that Is selected at random, their crop will be a failure, and when a reduction In the, value of the Nebraska corn crop Is made to the extent of (0 or (0 per cent or more, the terrific loss will be felt In every (Continued on Second Page.) to understand the reasons for these violent utterances. .

H.-The first open move to bring about a settlement of the street car strike In this city waa mad today when a committee composed of clergymen of many denominations offered two plans to the company and the strikers. The first plan calls for a board of ar bitration to be composed of two Judges, two clergymen, two business men and a seventh member to be chosen by the other six. It Is proposed that each side select three of the arbitrators. If this plan does not meet with approval, the clergymen suggest that a board of arbitration be agreed upon to be composed of the state railroad commission and four other per sons, two to be chosen by each side. A man was arrested In the northern part of the city today on a charge of attempting to dynamite cars. It Is said ha Implicated several other men. Mounted Police In Chnrar. Mounted and amply equipped for any kind of service, the four companies of (he Penn sylvania state police, numbering 200 men, arrived here today ready to assist the local authorities In maintaining order while the Philadelphia ' Rapid Transit company at tempts tn operate Its cars. The troopers are all picked men, veteran of the regular arr y, who have seen riot duty In all parts of the state. Their pres. once is expected to have a salutary effect upon the lawless element that -has been wrecking street cars In different sections of the city. Arriving In ths railroad yards , in the northern section of the city each company quickly detrained their horses while a curious crowd looked on. The command to mount, was given and they clattered along tho streets to the Second Koglment armory at Broad and Susquehanna avenu.e. where headquarters have been established during their stay here. .' . After, the men had ! breakfast. they were sent to KenHlngton. IV 1 the first time ths state policemen have seen service In Phil adelphia since they were organized five years ago. In Kensington they were dis tributed In squads In different Sections of the great manufacturing centur. Unlesi downright rebellion against civil authority arises, the troopers will not carry their carbines. "We will not need our carbines." said Captain Linn O. Adams of Company C. "We do not expeot serious trouble. I think the riot sticks sod revolvers will be all the weapons we will need. "GUI' men know how to take osre of themselves as well as to hsndle crowds. They also obey orders without asking th why and wherefore of them." For tho first time the Rapid Transit com pany succeeded in running its cars until 6 o'clock on the Frankford line, which penetrates this unruly territory. At that hour cars on all lines were returned to the respective barns. Rioters -Are Captured. Four policemen guarded each car and detectives patrolled the route all day In automobiles. Whenever a group of -men. formed anywhere on the street, the de-i tectlves rushed them and followed the ring leaders even into houses until they cap tured them. In spite of the vigilance of the police many car windows were broken and the company was finally obliged to uso sheet .Iron Windows in place of glass panes. While the police were busy keeping tracks clear for the lines In Kensington, the lines In other parts of the city were run on much reduced schedules and on several of the West Philadelphia and downtown lines no attempt was made to run cars all day, although these sections were comparatively quiet The shopping district on Market street was again the scene of almost continuous disturbances, especially at the noon hour. No one was seriously Injured, however. v Bolts Thrown at Police. Baldwin's Locomotive works was ths scene of a disturbance during the lunch hour of the hundreds of employes. One employe was shot In the foot and about fifty shots were fired at laborers, who sought refuge on the upper floors of the buildings and hurled bolts snd nuts at the policemen who were guarding tars in this district. Every time a head appeared at a window It was the target for a bullet from a policeman's revolver. The 1 o'clock whistle signalling the expiration of the lunch hour brought hostilities to a close. The city high schools, which are attended by pupils from all sections of ths city, are located near these industrial plants which have been bombarding the cars with bolts. In order not to endanger the liven of the pupils who would be forved to ride on the cars, the Board of Education today decided not to open the two Schools fur girls during the remainder of the week. bate yesterday the Rapid Transit company Issued a statement in which It is claimed that the strikers "cannot and will not win." In part, the statement follows; "There Is no possibility of this company dealing on any basis with the men who have engineered the events of the last three days. "The men who have stood by us and the new men who have come to us may be sure that we shall stand by them. 'There will be no settlement which In cludes taking back tbe men who have led and encouraged mob violence." Rioters Are Sentenced. The heavy hand of the law pressed hard yesterday on some of the men and boys who have been arrested for rioting. El wood Carr, alleged to have been a ringleader In a riot In the Kensington district, was sen tenced to six yesrs In the county prison. John Kline was given two years and Ellis Atkins a similar ssntence. A IT-year-old boy was sent to the Huntington reform story for thirteen months for throwing mls lies at a car. and other boys on4 m'.
