Plattsrnoiith mowed t a .substitute motion
"not to endorse''' ..
Whereupon the flieworks exploded. A
doren or morn addi:ass were made for
Mnd against the general proposition. When
loud cries of "u,msUonl question!" shut
off fifty or more attorneys who too would
, have talked, there anaued a pretty little
parliamentary wrangle. .
. Things happened this way:
A rising vote was demanded on the sub
., stltute motion. .
Mr. Iturhank Instated on a roll call.
Five men sustained . hlrn. and the chair
rgled the demand valid.
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.
V. Simrral slipped In a motion to adjourn
to 2 o'clock. On the ayes and noes the
result seemed extreme! close, 'resident
l;an declared the ayes' had Ii.
Mr. Coldicy Orates home.

Kennedy, ('. . 15. Keller and C. J. Smyth

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. Mr. Gering under
stood' that the executive ' committee had
acted adversely and he wanted to know
why ft did not report on the matter at
the time it reported favorably oh other
candidates." '' ' ' ... r
r Vresklent nan? rearl "he roristitiltion;
which . provides . that h- etrecarive council
shall ac an- -applications" fofmembet
chip, .-and shall report to -the association on
candidacies which . it favors: There is no
provision favo reportihg on ttioee not fav
ored or rejected, . and by Implication, at
least!, ttie' council Ut .not to report 'In anh
cases.
xvThls Mrmt'd to new- up ' Mr.' Yelser's
frtends.. , They attempted to whip hla'.oa
tanlc majesty around the Mump in a num
ber of ways, but a ruling by President
Ryan, or a point of order from -the floor,
put a kibosh on every one of haif a dozen
ingenious attemps made by James K.- Halt,
Tom .Holllster. S. Ai Bearle and several
others. Finally, Mr. Searle started In to
amend the constitution and found, once
more an impanse. The amendment had to
go to the executive council and be reported
back at the next annual meeting.
."Jsn't th.1 body blggeruban the constitu
tion.", demanded one member.. ' t was. at
thl noliil that T..J., Mahpneyvaskad .the
Yelserltes .to, remember the). ..they ,; were
lawyers and ought to sb.ow.eome eajiect
for their 'OW.nJa.wa. .
' Mr. Gering moved to Instruct fue commit
tee to report adversely, or at least to re
port. It. W. Breckenrldge. chairman of
the committee, said he would sav that the
committee had found adversely, but so
far as giving reasons, which A. V. 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.

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.

foss I.. 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

where access la desired by an officer or
employe of any other department, applica
tion for permission to inspect such returns

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

recognised stock exchange for the purpose
of having the shares dealt In by the pub

whose stock Is advertised In the press, or
