MNCOLN. Neb., .tan. :. -(Special Tele
ram.) A rommlttee of five will be ap
pointed by the speaker of the hnur ft
make an Investigation of th charges of
election fraud In Omaha made by Governor
Aldrloh In hi mesace of yesterday. A
resolution fntrodured by Morlartv of
Douglas tlila morning with a strongly con
demnatory preamble. The rrHOlutlon waa
adopted unanimously authorising the com
mittee and the Investigation after the
preamble had been struck out on a motion
by Prime of Hall. The preamble read as
follows:
Whereas, Ida excellency, the governor of
Nehraska, In a laborious message to thn
body vesterrtay indicates an Irreslst Ible de
termination to rcloi in. purity anil sanctify
the political atmoKphere of the metropolis
of this lomnionweHlth: and
Whereaa. The strident tune of thin Intem
perate message tends to confirm the sur
tpls that these and slmllMr gubernatorial
utterance assaulting Ihe good name of
Omaha ar designed more particular.)' for
a place In the dally press than for the pub
llc good; and.
Whereaa, The Injustice to Omaha of these
f ulmlnatlons from the executive chamber
amounts almost to an outraKe. heeatisa
many of the charges have not the slight
est foundation In fiut. and. further.
lie. s use there Is unfortunately no consti
tutional provision against these tedious
purification messages which threaten to
consume the valuable time of tills house.
The resolution continues and aiiKKests
the committee, of five. A motion to table
the resolution by KIHey of Gage, was de
feated M to 41i, and the preamble was
truck out with the author's consent,
(roasinan and t'olton Mpenk.
Grossman of Douglas spoke In favor of
the resolution, declarlnK that all the talk
of fraud in Omaha was the work of de
feated candidates. Colton of York spoke
in defense of the governor and declared
that his statements camo from authorita
tive knowledge. The Governor's message
referred yesterday to the committee on
privileges and elections was recommitted to
the special investigating committee which
ta to be appointed.
I'o Com in 1 1 tee In Senate.
In the senate the message of the gov
ernor was treated with some levity and
considerable sarcasm. Senator Uartos of
Saline Introduced two resolutions, which
were referred to the committee on Judi
ciary, and until that committee reports no
disposition will he made of the message.
Uartos suggested In one resolution that the,
remark of the chief executive be ex
punged . from the record and referred to
the committee on public charities.
In the second resolution Mr. Uartos said
"The governor la still campaigning for his
office and has, not forgotten the vote in
Uouglas , county," and "he has made a
acurrlllous attack upon the citizens of "the
city of Omaha and In particular the city
officials thereof, charging them with crim
inal conduct with reference to his elec
tion." He suggested a committee of
three to Investigate the evidence which the
governor may have for his statements, but
this resolution, too, waa turned over to the
Judiciary committee.
Senator Uartos was called down by the
chair for saying the governor had "in
putted the senate." A number of other
members of the majority spoke in strong
terms against the spirit of the message.
Capital llemoval mil.
The first capital removal bill, with the
signatures of twenty-seven members, was
Introduced as II. It 24C. The authors and
sponsors of the measure are: Bailey, Mc
Klssick, 11. C. Taylor, Stebblns, Grueber,
Harrington, Weesner, Meridian. Slndelar,
Fries, Nordgreen. Kenneth, Walte, Mast,
Hagl, Haword, Moore. Lawrence, Moody,
Honham, Meyer, McCarthy, Prince, Sink,
Lindsay, Anderson and Hoapodsky. It pro
vides for a relocation west of the ninety
seventh merldlaa. The votes at the next
lection will decide the removal, whether
they center on any one town or not, and
if no one town does get a majority of the
votes the relocation will still be declared
settled and the new capital will be chosen
at the 11)11' election between the two cities
getting the highest votes.

Railroad Finances
Lead Up Blind Alley
Expert Calls Attention to Issue of
Stock for Equipment and Paying;
Interest on it Indefinitely.
CHICAGO, Jan. 26 A danger to the
finances of some railroads, resulting from
the method of keeping equipment accounts,
waa pointed out by John Moody, an au
thority on securities. In the hearing today
before the railroad securities commission,
which is Investigating a plan for federal
control of securities. Mr. Moody testified
that many roads were paying Interest on
stock Issued for equipment long after the
equipment bad worn out and after the asset
for the stock had ceased to exist. The
process of Issuing more stork for more
new equipment with similar results, the
witness said, was leading some of the
weaker roads "up a blind alley."
A tendency to over-capitallsatlnn la press
ing the railroads Into a position where they
will lose their credit, according to the testi
mony of Mr. Moody.
If, within the next ten years, capitalisa
tion Is Increased $lO.OOO,0!X).oflO, as seems
likely, said the witness, the ability of the
roads to pay Interest and dividends will
become a problem.
To control these festures be favored gov
ernment regulation.

WASHINGTON. .Isn. -Urging the
prompt passage of a reciprocity treaty be
tween the Cnlted States and Canada.
President Taft today sent to congress a j
soeclal message. accompanied by the
agreement looking to such a treaty, reached !
liy representatives of the Canadian gov
ernment and the State department at a re
cent conference In this city.
'Identity of Interest of two peoples, linked
together by race, language, political Institu
tions and geographical proximity," the
president gives as the chief reason for
such reciprocity ns he recommends. The
president says that he feels It Is "the
wish of the people" that this country en-
ler Into a "more Intimate and cordial re
lationship with Canada."
Liberality of view In dealing with the
proposed treaty Is recommended by Presi
dent Taft. "We have reached a stage
In our own development that calls for a
statesmanlike and broad view of our fu
ture trade status and Its requirements,"
he said. "While equivalency should be
sought In an arrangement of this char
acter, an exact balance of financial gain
Is neither imperative nor attainable."
After speaking of efforts made previously
to the conference to bring about a trade
agreement between the two countries,
President Taft refers to many previous
questions, such as the settlement of bound
aries, the definition of rights of navigation,
the Interpretation of treaties and many
other subjects. . He mentions, also, the
long standing controversy over the At
lantic flaherles and the "equitable arrange
ment recently reached between our Inter
state Commerce Commission and the simi
lar body In Canada In regard to througn
rateg on transportation lines between the
two countries."
Reciprocity Log Ion! Sequence.
"The path having thus been opened," he
continues, "for the Improvement of com
mercial relations, a reciprocity trade agree
ment la the logical sequence of all that has
been accomplished In disposing of matters
of a diplomatic and controversial character.
The contribution to the industrial advance
ment of our own country by the migrator
across the boundary of the thrifty and
Industrious Canadians, of English, Scotch
and French origin, Is now repaid . by the
movement of large numbers of our own
sturdy farmers to the north weat of Canada. !

Bank of England Cuts
Its Rate of Discount
Reduction to Four Per Cent is Made
Despite Higher Quotations for
Private Discounts.
LONDON, Jan. 26. After a prolonged dis
cussion the directors of the Bank of Eng
land today reduced the bank rate from 4H
to 4 per cent. This action was unexpected
In view of the present stringency In the
money market, which recently hardened
private discounts, but evidently the di
rectors 'were guided to their decision by
the fact that they have absolute control
of the money market through time col
lections and will be able to make the 4
per cent rate effective.
When the bank returns are published,
the reserve probably will show good In
crease. Discount rates at foreign centers
also are lower than In London and there Is
an absence of foreign gold demand. It la
believed that the Indian requirements are
less pressing, and probably this helped to
bring down the minimum rate.

under secretary of state for foreign af
fairs In 1880-82 and president of the local

Captain Arthur Oore Shell, died In 1874, and
In 1886 Sir Charles married Emella Frances,

It was during their engagement that the
scandal resulting In the separation of Don
ald Crawford and his wife occurred. Mrs.

llooaters from Colorado Have Their
liiiilou nt the Andltnrlain.
Speeches to tbe glory or Colorado by
j officers of the Lnnd Show and members of
j the Colorado delegation occupied most of
I the formal program of the day at the
j linil Show yesterday.
1 The Colorado men were given welcome
and congratulations on the showing of their
state at the opening of the program by
W. O. PaiBlcy, general manager of the
show.
"Colorado la Justifiably proud of its share
in the Land Show. The fine spirit evinced
by the Colorado men has done much to
make the show the great success that It
has proven," aald Mr. Paisley. "We are
glad that Colorado came to our show, and
1 am certain that every Land Show vis
itor Is glad that thla great atate to the
westward haa been represented among the
th manufacturing business.
Prof. W. a. Hranddnburg of Colorado
spoke for bis state, touching upon the vast
resources yet to be developed.
An ado i ess on Pueblo, the Pittsburg of
the west," waa given by J. M. Stevens. Mr.
Stevens discussed the Industrial conditions
of his state and future of that section In
S. C. Shearer of the Denver & nio
Grande system, representative of Alfred
Patek, state Immigration commissioner of
Colorado at the show, spoke at some length
on the resources of his state, with particu
lar attention to the agricultural output.
State of Urest Wealth.
"Colorado, with a population of 790.0C4, '
has a per capita wealth of $2,715. thn
greatest of any state In the union or of any
foreign country." said Mr. Shearer.
"A boundless range of Industries, natural
resources and peculiarly local advantages
forms the basis of this overwhelming pros
perity. "Until five years ago, mining was the
keystone to the wealth of the state. Now
it Is agriculture that makes possible Colo
rado's proud boasts.
"The mining Industry of the state haw
not decreased greatly In consequence of
this evolution. The state nas dug from its
mountains since gold was discovered an
even billion dollars of precious and rain

any other state In the country.
"Since the waters of the mountains have
been poured over the land, Colorado has
slowly but surely taken a commanding po
sition among the interrnoiintaln states. It
now produces apples that foreign countries
reach out eager hands for. A town on its
western slope Palisade produces such de
licious, Juicy and perfect fruit that the
word PaJtsade is now almost synonymous
with peaches. This little town shipped 7f)
carloads of peaches )n V.n(l. In one day It
hipped sixty-eight carloads.
"Last year Colorado shipped from Its
i fruit growing districts In the Arkunas
land Grand valleys. u.'.':'3 cais of fruit. $
tars ot apples. L1W cars of peached. 1.17H
ciira of the famous cantaloupes, and rtTI
cars of other frulta, left their mountain
homes to dellnht the. fastidious palates of
eastern and Kuropean lovers of the bent
of fruits. Colorado cannot produce enough
fruit to supply' the demand.

"Co-operative fruit growers' a.isocla lions
make It possible for the fruit grower to
get highest market prices for all his fruit.
The highest prices In the Cnlted Ststes
secured for peaches was obtained by th

ciation for Its fruit-raising members.
"Colorado fruit growers are among th
most progrenslve and scientific In the west.
This Is a fact borne out by the use of frost
preventive 'smudge pots.' These smudge
pots contain either coal or crude oil, which
Is lighted when frost threatens to destroy
the fruit buds in the spring. The coal or
oil burning In the smudge pots, distributed
In an effective manner through the or
