The flamea licked up the atate library,
the court of claim assembly library and

LINCOLN. March 2. (Special Telegram.!
The governor signed the Rengan bill giv
ing" home rule to all cities over 5.000 In
population and cities of that class have
now the right to make their own charters,
with a commission form or any other form
of government. It does not Interfere with
the right of the state, however, to regulate
all such things aa the sale of liquor on, I
the closing hour for saloons.
The Ollls stock yards bill, in spite .r
dire predictions, was also signed and be
comes a law, and with It the two bills by
Senator Brown which gives corporations
the privilege of paying corporation taxes
and filing fees on paid up capital Instead
of capital stock, aa Is now the case.
Senate Pnuea Commission Bill.
Two bills for a commission form of gov
ernment In Nebraska cities were passed
by the senate this morning. The Banning
bill, tha measure pushed by the Ad club of
Omaha and amended to exempt from Us
provision the Omaha Water Board was
passed without dissent and also the Tanner
bill, which 4a confined to South Omaha.
The Tanner bill provides a commission for
Senator Tanner'a own town with alightly
different regulations x from those In the
Banning bill. '
Tha senate put on third reading
a number of bills. Including the hill, for
a new form of legislature drawn by Sen
ator Volpp. It provides a four-year term for
senators and a two-year term for repre
sentatives, and each ot these officers Is
to receive t00 a session. Just twice, what
Is given now. it also limits the Introduc
tion of bills to. the first twenty daya
of each session Instead of the first forty.
Kenatr Passes Primary Bill.
In the house the Gustafson-Kvans closed
primary bill passed. S to 4. The four dis
senting votca were by McKisslck. Hatfield,
Harrington and Bailey. The bill provides
for a 'party primary with fusion privileges
and a preferential vote for president and
vice president. The delegates to the na
tional conventions are to be elected, four
at large and two from each cungrexsional
district. .

The house members celebrated the. six

dering that hereafter only bills coming

and no more senate files will be lifted from
the general file or committees. The house
will probably pass a similar resolution to
morrow. The reason assigned for not holding a

GOVERNOR'S ATTITUDE NOT SURE
Much Preasore Belnsr Brought to

Krom a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 2.-(8pecial. The
Sunday base ball bill passed the house to
day, after a bitter fight and attempta to
aisend It to exclude smal Itowna from Its
lieneflta.
The amendment which -came from the
friends of the bill were designed to meet
the objections of Governor Aldrlch, who
la suppos-d to have declared himself aa
quite opposed to Sunday baae ball .on
general principles and willing to algn the
bill only wtlh a clause which would pre
vent, Sabbath- day games In tow.na smaller
than 2,0Ut.
The members from small towna. how
ever, were entirely anwllllng to exclude
thomselvea from ihe bill and voted down
an amen Intent to exclude towna of lesa
than 6,000 and to exclude villages lesa than
L',000.
Attitude of (iorrrnor.
As the bill stands now lawn tennla, golf
and base ball are not crimes even If they
are played on riunday. It la considered
quit eprohablo that the governor will re
fuse to alan It. He has been besieged by
representatives of both aides and haa re
fused to commit himself to either. It la a
question of r tactical politics. Pressure
haa been brought from every quarter. If
he does rofuse tc algn it there seems to
be little ehanco tltn It can be punned over

From hour to how theltilatlon In th
Colin murder case cliangrs from convinc
ing suspicion to seemingly -Tioprh-ss m s
tery, Rnd then back again. et with C'e
rapid shifting of events the police still
believe they have In custody-., tho person
who ahot down the welV known merchant
last Saturday night.
My a singular coincidence, which can bo
construed either aa a vindication of the
youthful prlsonera or a decisive circum
stance against them, a weapon similar In
every resiwct to tho one with which Mr.
Cohn was murdered has been dug up by
the police.
The duplicate weapon was found on the
person of Charlea Rluehaugh of South
ptinhai who was' arreated Wednesday
afternoon aa one of the pals of Henry
8telngger. Lemuel Tigga and Carl HeLanri,
who were picked up the night before on
siirplc on of being Implicated In Ihe mur.lcr.
'elKlnal Theorr I'nahaken.
The oilglnal theory that Cohn was shut
by an amateur holdup man whose gun got
away from him haa not yot been shaken.
In fact the finding of the second revolver
serves In a way to atrengthrn the belief.
The trigger of the weapon picked up near
the acene of the murder had been filed In
such a way that It waa necessary to snap
tha trigger to bring fire. The same defect
waa found In the revolver found on Hlue
baugh. The filing of weapons In thla man
ner la said to be In strict., accord with the
perverse Idea of youthful criminals who
alriit through tha paces of j ellow-back '
novels, ot which a raimer were found In
the room occupied by lht young1 auapcicta, '
4 o in pose Ylcloae (iana.
Though they atlll have hope of gaining
from the boya a confession that will point
to the guilty person they were not as
hopeful last night aa they were earlier In
the day. They declare, however, that if
none of the boya Is guilty of the murder
It Is certain that they compose the gang
which has been guilty of a number f hold
ups and Jobs of thieving which have been
rejKirted to headquartcra during the last
few weeks.
It was a Bmall Job of thievery that led
to the arrest of Twiggs, Ue Ind and
Steliigger, aU of whom hall from St. Loula.
One of the gang, who atule a handful ul
fruit from a stand on South 1-lfteenth
street, was chased to his room. ai7'-a North
Fifteenth, where Hi! three were found.
Letters found In their poanesslon telling
of vicious exploits. Including murder, In
St. Louis, and their partial Identification
aa young men who have been -holding up
late wayfarers with a high hand, do not
serve to strengthen their protests of Inno
cence of .the Cohn murder.
