LAYYERS TALK0YER BILLS
Mewnre Before Nebraska Legislature
Up for Discussion.
MEMBER GROSSMAN IS PRESENT
Deneeaeea Present Method of Heleet-
V Juries u4 Osluleu F.surraee
that New Law Will Rrarlr
Some Krlle.
Consideration of certain bills now before
the legislature. In particular on to pro
vide for ft Jury commissioner to pick the
Jurle, brought forth some lively discussion
and serious charges at a meeting of the
Omaha Bar association at the Paton hotel
Saturday night. The meeting, which waa the
regular monthly affair, waa preceded by
a banquet. Several members of the legls
lattire were to have been present for a
conference with the association over the
bllla In which It la Interested. However,
John Grossman, a Douglas county repre
sentative and a member of the judiciary
committee of the houaa, waa the only one
able to be In attendance.
Mr. Grossman waa warm In his denunci
ation of the present ayatem of selecting
Juries and accused the association of
sleeping on Its rights toi not having pushed
the Jury commissioner bill harder than It
has.
"I am fully aware how this crooked work
la dona hers." (aid Mr. Grossman, "there
are many, lawyers In Omaha and good ones,
too, who nave lost casea simply because
men Were In the box who had no right
there. There are certain men In Omaha
In buslnesa who see that those men get
on the Juries. You can't get rid of this
rottenhesa until you change the 'present
system,"
The speaker made no specific charges
and the association aeemed to be heartily
In accord with the entlmenls of Mr. Gross,
man. Home evidenced much dlssatlflcation,
however, with the Jury commissioner bill
now oa the general file. The original bill
Instituted by the association some time
ago and forwarded to Lincoln called for
a key-number method of picking Jurymen
from the poll-tax llata and operated wholly
by lot. Ths Jury commissioner bill pro
vides for a commissioner appointed by the
district Judges and choosing the namea
himself for the lists from which the Juries
should be drawn.
Patrick ner.nred hange.
It wa changed In the committee, ac
cording to Mr. Groatiman, on the solicita
tions of W. R. Patrick of South Omaha.
Mr. Patrick appeared before the commu
tes and gave the Inference, at least, that
tha Douglas County Bar association tai
In favor of the Jury eommlslaoner Idea,
saying that Judge Redlck and others were
strongly for It.
John A. Rlne, city attorney, took oc
casion In a few remarks vehemently to
denounce tha Jury commtasloner bill, calling
It a "silk-stocking" Idea and pointing out
where It waa open to the same abuses aa
the old ayatem.
It was pointed out that at thla late day
It Vould be exceedingly hard to get a new
bill through, and would probably mean
no result slther, should a new one be in
troduced. At It seemed to be the sentiment
of the association that the commlsaloner
Idea Was at least a atep In advance of tha
present system, a special committee waa
appointed to aid tha regular committee and
to go to Lincoln to do what they could
in getting ths bill through. The commit
tee consists of Frank Weaver, president
of ths aasoolatlen, and C. J. Bmyth. Other
from the association will accompany them
Fremont Benjamin extended the associ
ation an invitation to be present at a ban.

Walter I. Smith. Ths Invitation was ac
cepted. Ths banquet is to be at the Grand

THREE TICKETS AT BROKEN BOW
Municipal Campalam Promises to Be
a Lively One.
BROKEN BOW. Neb., March 12. (Spe
cial.) Much Interest Is being taken in the
city election this year owing to the fact
of there being many Important matters
to come before the new administration1 and
In all probability three tickets will be
placed in the field. Whether It will be a
party campaign, outside of the socialist
ticket, will probably be nettled at the com
ing citizens' caucus.
Several well known local men are being
put forward for the office of mayor,
among the most prominent being J. C.
Bowen, a leading business man. Mr.
Bowen held this office several years ago
and the chances are his name will head
one of the tickets. Other names men
tioned are those of Councilman D. C,
Konkel and Dr. R. B. Mullins, although
Mr. Konkel has already stated his prefer
ence through the columns of a local paper
for the aldermanlo chair to that of mayor.
The present Incumbent, Mayor Dan Rock
well, will probably not allow hla name to
be used for re-nomlnatlon.
The socialists have already held their
caucus and nominated a full city ticket as
follows: E. Taylor, mayor; C. O. G. Boyce,
city clerk; J. O. A. Thomas, treasurer;
for councilman, flrat ward, C. E. Shepard;
second ward, J. G. Painter; third ward,
Lee Adams; fourth ward, J. W. Lanter
man and John Delane. The campaign will
be conducted along the line of municipal
ownership on the Milwaukee plan. The
socialists are expressing great confidence
and claim they will elect their mayor and
three out of the six councilman.

WHO COMMANDS DEPARTMENT?
rpid Succession of. Officers Results
From Mexican Trouble.
DWYER IN CHARGE FEW MINUTES
Artillery Offleer Files Declaration of
Authority aad la atraluatwar
Ordered Off to the
Frontier.
Ever since General Frederick A. Smith
was called to the Rio Grande to command
a brigade there has been some conjecture
as to who would succeed to command of
the abandoned Department of the Missouri.
There was a sort of a square-shouldered,
dignified, heel-clicking, military scramble
for the command following the departure
of General Smith, and successors were
snatched away from their posts with such
regularity that there was some apprehen
sion as to whether the Deparment of the
Missouri would be able to locate a com
mandant. Colonel Alexander B. Dwyer, command
ing the Fourth field artillery. Fort D. A.
Russell, happened to- be the senior officer
o. the department; and naturally would
hve succeeded General Smith. In fact,
he filed an order with the department to
the effect that -under certain provisions of
articles of wsr he would assume the rank
of commander.
His assumption lasted only a few minutes
before he was ordered to take his men,
guns and mules to the border.
The next senior officer now took advan
tage of the situation, and unless more
troops are ordered out he will become the
department head. He Is Colonel George A.
Dodd, Twelfth cavalry, Fort D. A. Russell,
who Just returned from the Philippines.
I'nless he Is ordered to the front It Is
likely that he will assume the duties of
commanding general of the department for
some time to come. It Is hinted that Gen
eral Smith may also be advanced and that
he may not return to the department, in
which event Colonel Dodd would be In
command Indefinitely.
MERIT SYSTEM IS

The difficulties in maintaining an exact
apportionment of appointments according
to population are explained with the state
ment that the commission earnestly en
deavors to maintain the apportionment "as
nearly as the conditions of good admin
istration will warrant," in accordance with
the law.
The report closes with a discussion of
opinions rendered during the year by the
attorney general on questions arising In
the application of the civil service law,
among them being that preference on hon
orable discharge on account of wounds or
sickness Incurred by soldiers or sailors
In the line of duty Is the only preference
allowed by law;-that this preference la
not subject to the apportionment and ex
tends over all others on the register Irre
spective of ra ting ; ' that the residence and
domicile provision of the census act ap

already In apportioned positions; and that
questions , of domicile are to be decided

SCIENCE TO OVERCOME DEATH
(Continued from First Page.) .
"Are the sufferings of an animal great
during operations?" Dr. Flexner was asked.
"It Is a pity the way animal experiments
are spoken of as vivisection," he replied.
"The idea comes down to us from the
day when experiments were made on ani
mals, but It Is a painless operation. If you
had ben subjected to a hypodarmlo Injec
tion of morphine would you call it vivisec
tion? In animal experiments 90 per cent
of the tests consist of hypodermic injec
tions. "The question of Investigation and curing
disease by animal experimentation apart
from surgery has to do with the many
forms ot -bacilli, developed In different
kinds of animals, transferred from one to
another, tested with antidotes and finally
applied to man. Of the mora serious
diseases, spinal meningitis has been con
quered In this way. Leprosy, cancer, tuber
culosis and bubonic plague are in a fair
way to be cured.
"Our discovery of the tubercule bacilli."
explained Dr. Flexner, "was not made until
we performed experiments and produced
tuberculosis in animals. We learned In that
way that tha disease Is Infectious. That Is.
you mus.,not expectorate, you must keep
yourself clean, to protect your family."

tnrough the barn window, as the mur
derer turned his weapon on her and sent
a bullet through each leg.
Although weak from loss ot blood, Mrs.

the floor greeted his gars.
Sheriff Healing at San Rafael and a
party of deputies and cltlsens are making
toward the head of I.ucaa valley, where
they expect to head off the murderer.
The hunted man Is believed to be insane.
Last night he appeared at the door of the
Ij. Franchi ranch house and demanded
work. Finding that the visitor knew noth
ing about milking, La Franchi told him
that they had no other work in the ranch.
The man went to the barn, and the fam
ily retired for the night. This morning
hi walked by the trio at the milking stools
aa If he were going outside. , Mrs. La
Franchi turned, thinking; he had raised the
latch of tbe barn door. As she did so she
saw the murderer aiming his revolver at
Albertlno. Before she could cry out, he
filed.
La Franchi darted from his stool and
rushed at the slayer. When he was three
feet away the man calmly pulled the trig
ger. Tbe ball passed through the rancher's
heart.
