The first move towsrd changing the

by Hartlne for a constitutional amendment
to Increase the number of signers re
quired on a petition to submit or refer
a law, from 6 per cent of the vote of the
last previous election, to 26 per cent of
such vote. This, It Is hoped, would reduce
the number of laws which would be car

Direct Election of
Senators Favored by
Senate Committee
Resolution Authorizing Amendment to
Constitution Will Be Reported
Strong Opposition to Measure.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10-Th e senate com
mittee on the Judiciary today reached a
decision to report favorably the sub-committee
resolution authorizing an amend
ment to the constitution providing; for the
elecUon of United Slates senators by direct
vote of the people.
The controversy In the committee turned
upon the question as to whether the state
or uie rexierai government should super
vise the elections. The sub-committee's
report directs that the times, places and
manner of holding; the elections shall be
prescribed by the state legislature. -
Senators Pepew and Nelson both offered
amendments giving congress the power to
regulate, but the southern senators opposed
these provisions as most prejudicial to the
Interests of their constituents. The two
amendments were similar, but Mr. Depew's
went farther than Mr. Nelson's In the
matter of prescribing the qualifications of
lectors. Both were voted down, S to 3.
While greatly encouraged at the progress
made the advocates of the change, which
would take the election of senators from
the. state legislatures and. place them In
the hands of the people, are by no means
sanguine of Immediate success. There Is
strong opposlUon In the senate to the pro
vision and It Is expected the measure will
die with this congress. Never before has a
favorable report on a similar measure been
received from the Judiciary committee.

PRESENT EXCELS OVER PAST
Prof. Grnmmaan Delivers Lecture oa
Development of I. Iterators
and Art.
"Art and literature are in a higher state
toduy than during the time when Greece
was enjoying her most enlightened period."
That was the opinion given yesterday
afternoon by Prof. Paul H. Grummann of
the chair of modern Germun literature of
Nebraska university In the course of a
lecture at the public library. Prof.
Grummann said the greatest development
in literature and art In all the ages was
made during the nineteenth century.
"It is because of the growth in realism,"
he said, "and realism Is the direct out
growth of modern science. Science has
taught us to be more accurate and accuracy
has extended through all our artistic en
deavors. It was only In the nineteenth cen
tury that mountains became really beauti
ful to us. The painters of the olden times
did not paint mountains. They painted
pictures in which was what they called
mountains, but really were blocks or
masses of color. Only In the last fifty
years have our magazines begun to develop.
They have become more accurate. Their
illustrations are far different from those
of a half century ago. Then they came
from the Illustrator's mind and were con
sequently not real. Today we hav. exact
reproductions mechanical, scientific repro
ductions. This was brought about by our
growing development In realism. We want
things In picture, story or drama true to
life.
"The nineteenth century shows a great
step forward in this way for the press.
The press has gotten down to f.i ts. News
papers have made a tremendous advance
ment toward realism. Nowadays they want
facts. Our ideals have changed and our
institutions have changed."

DUNN AFTER THE BACK TAXES
Submits Flan of Compromise with the
Pacific Express Company.
OLD SUIT STILL HANGS FIRE
Has Been In Controversy for blent
Years and Dana flays He Looks
for Settlement Before He
Leaves Office.
Litigation between th. city of Omaha and
the Paciflo Express company over taxci
for the year 1902 will probably be settled
by compromise In the .near future.
Aslntant City Attorney I. J. Dunn, who
is representing the city, has made sug" s
tlons to Attorney Edson Rich, representing
the express company, whereby a settlement
cat. be effected.
The litigation arose In iX2, when holdings
of the Pacific Express company, whose
general offices were In Omaha, was as
sessed at SG.orO.OOO. An Injunction suit was
brought by the attorneys of the express
company and a temporary Injunction
granted, restraining the city from levying
on a $5,000,000 assessment.
The company claimed the amount was
unreasonable, as It should not be made to
pay taxes on properties and franchises,
which covered a territory of twenty-two
slates and the Dominion of Canada. Since
the Injunction was granted the case has
remained stationary.
Wants to Settle Litigation.
As Mr. Dunn's term of office expires
I soon he wishes to get the litigation settled,
j Attorney Rich now has the offer of Mr.
! Dunn under advisement and a reply is an
ticipated within a few days.
Mr. Dunn has suggested that the entire
earnings of the express company for that
year be taken as the basis on which to ar
rive at an amicable settlement.
By taking the entire earnings of the com
pany and determining the Intra stat. earn
ings, Mr. Dunn contends that the Interstate
earnings can b. computed and In this way
the value of the franchises of the company
In the various state! can be determined.
Then It will b. an easy matter to get at
the bottom of the assessment differences,
according to Mr. Dunn.
"Once the value of th. franchises are
determined. It will be an easy matter to
regulate the assessment." said Mr. Dunn.
"When the express company's holdings
were assessed at $5,000,000, the foreign hold
ings were estimated at W.000.000. In fact,
that was the amount the company was In
corporated for. That would leave $5,0U0,W)0
assessable property and that was the
amount of the assessment.
"The cas. has laid quiet so long that It
is time for something to be done. The city
is entitled to the money and I propose to
collect these back taxes. If possible."
Medicines that aid nature ar. always
most effectual. Chamberlain's Cough
Remei y acts on this plan. It allays the
cough, relieves the lungs, opens th. se
cretions and aids nature In restoring the
system to a healthy condition. Thous
ands have testified to Its superior ex
cellence. Sold by all dealers.

Plant of Alfalfa Meal Company at
Council Bluffs is Destroyed
Omaha Men Interested.
The plant of the Alfalfa Meal company
at Tenth avenue and Twelfth street, Coun
cil Bluffs, valued at about $T0.000 and cov
ered by Insurance, was totally destroyed
by fire Monday.
A small fire In the hay shed adjoining
the main building of brick, presumably
started by a spark from a switch engine
on the Rock Island tracks nearby, was
discovered at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and extinguished by the fire department.
Again at 6 o'clock the fire broke out and
the fire companies, after throwing a large
amount of water, apparently extinguished
It. But a few smouldering embers must
have been left, for at 11 o'clock the whole
building was discovered to he nn fire.
The fire companies fought desperately, but
were unable to cope with the situation and
within a short tlm. th. building was In
ruins.
The hay shed In which the fire originated
Is said to have contained $5,000 worth of
hay. The company had a Joint contract
with the Omaha Alfalfa Milling company
to buy from a large number of western
farmers all their alfalfa at $7 a ton. f. o. b.,
a fact said to account for the large value
of hay In the shed, some 6,000 tons of
alfalfa.
The building was owned by th. First
National bank of Council Bluffs, Ernest
D. Hart, president, and waa valued at
$10,000, an amount fully covered by Insur
ance. It was a three-story brick affair
with a basement, lying to th. west of ths
hay shed, and originally built for a can
ning factory.
M. M. Green of New York City la presi
dent of the company and J. T. Brooks of
Council Bluffs secretary, treasurer and
general manager. Mr. Brooks la at pres
ent out of th. city.
The Insurance Is thought to about cover
the loss, but owing to the season of the
year the large amount of manufactured
goods ready for shipment In the building
makes It hard to estimate exactly.
