Then It was moved to suspend the rules and take a rising vote,.. Mr. Hurbank rose to. n point of order and declared the motion invalid. President ftyan said the point was well taken. An appeal followed, Mr. Burhank asserting thin last appeal was out of order. The chair now overruled him and was sustained, 60 to J 4. Then the roll call was- tak?n on the sub Htltute to the original ' resolution. The subi-titute was defeated. 63 to 40. When ehout to vote again by roll call on the original resolution to endorse, K.

John Q- Yelser came forth Into promi nence In a fairly sensational way at the close of tho convention yesterday of the Nebraska State Bar association, the rejec tion of his candidacy for membership, , be ing the theme of two hours' parliamentary debate and wrangle. The convention itself did not act on his application. It was the executive councjl, which Is composed of the offlctrs. which acted, and whose '.ejection under the constitution as it now stands,, la final. Matthew Gering started the ruction by rising to Inquire w hat ' had become 'of Mr. Yeieer's application.

Shot well demanded, he "wouM alt tip.ht till the crack of doom," era he woilld 1st go. Finally Mr. Yelser himself withdrew his application. "This action -Is spite: work." he said. "It comes about because of my activity In the DennlHou case, and be cause of Mr. Elllck's bond company."; . A. G. Klllck. the secretary-treasurer of the State I-far association heard this refer-, ence to himself Impassively and made no comment to the convention. After adjourn ment he declared: "Yelser's statement Is unfounded and maliciously false. It Is part and parcel of his gallerv-piaylng." . ' - ; It was Mr. .Olck who recently preferred charges .against Yelscr. accusiiiK yelser of subornation of perjury. But It was no; Mr. Klllck who spiked Yelser's application when It was up before the executive coun cil, it was another member of the council who Is known to have Invtlpaled the un favorable action.

Oeo. 71 -William Furby. a negro, ' for hours tonight waa between two fires, death at the hands of a mob or suffocation In the Iron vault of the express office at the local railway station. Outside the little building a crowd of sev eral hundred persons waited from after noon until late in tjie night, demandmg the life .of the prisoner fur the alleged assault and attempt! murder - of Miss Flora Anglln, daughter of a prosperous farmer. ., ' While the mob waited, a large squad of pedal deputies and the sheriff s posse guarded the express . rfMee and- kept tha negro locked in the express' safe, where he had little air to breathe. For hours tha crowd waited, but for want of a leader. H failed to move with sufficient force to dlsjodge tha deputies and take possession of the negro. They stormed the place several tlmea, breaking all the windows and forcing open the doors, but were un able to gain access to the safe. The only hope of the authorities to get the pris oner to the Jal at Clarksburg, as they In tended to do whea tha mob collected, waa In the arrlTt.1 of state troops. An order was issued early . In lha evening for tha mobilisation of the 'militia at several points, but although special tralna were provided. It. was doubtful If tha soldiers would reach the scene before early morning. It was the appearance of Mr. Anglln, father of Miss Anglln, an aged man, upon the platform of the station, telling the crowd that the story' of his daughter was as true as steel, which set the mob t- lid. Prosecuting Attorney Swlnt made at tempts to appeal to the people from a truck on the depot platform, but the truck was drawn from beneath him and the crowd yelled him down.

Hammond, collector for this ills trlet. Is now making arrangements for the collection of the federal excise tax from corporations In Nebraska The blanks for ninklng corporation return-, showing the net profits upon hleh tax Is to be paid for l!Mn, have Just been Isued to the cor poratlolis In the state from the collector s office n Omaha. "These blanks are a little different from those issued last year." said Mr. Ham mond, "but it Is not expected that there will be aa much confusion on the part of corporations in making proper returns this year as last. "The objection to publicity urged by many corporations against making these returns has ben largely eliminated for this year by a ruling of the Treasury, depart ment made only a month ago. "W"hen the law providing for payment of this tax Was first enacted It waa sup posed that the returns made by corpora tions would be open for the Inspection of tho publio generally, when filed In the de partment at Washington, but congress failed to make an appropriation for prop erly filing and indexing the returns, so that that portion of the law was prac tically nullified. The new ruling of the department more definitely fixes the limita tions under which publicity may be made, and these returns will be open to the In spection of the proper officers and em ployes of the Treasury department, but where access la desired by an officer or employe of any other department, applica tion for permission to inspect such returns must be made by the executive of the de partment desiring it, and transmitted to the secretary of tha treasury. "Also, the secretary of the treasury may, upon showing of proper cause, permit In spection of a return by a bona fide stock holder, but, since this la a personal mat ter, this privilege cannot be delegated to anyone else. A little more freedom will be granted with respect to returns of com panies whose stock la listed upon any recognised stock exchange for the purpose of having the shares dealt In by the pub lio; also as to returns of corporations whose stock Is advertised In the press, or offered for sale to the public by the cor poration itself." The first collection of this tax was made last year. The work was done so thor oughly that nearlv tha last dollar .e..,H rniralnMt K-.h...!,. .......... . - --v. none ..UIJIUIBOUIII WS paid promptly. There are J.T00 Nebraska corporations that will be compelled to make returns to the collector upon their MO business. These petitions are to be filed with him not later than March 1. The penalty for delay after that date Is 50 per cent of the tax due the government.
