Opponents of the Bryan plan for aa in

that the compromise is on of phrase
ology only, while Representative Henry,
chairman of tha rules committee, who led
the tight for an inquiry by a special com
mittee instead of by stand ins; committees

Representatives of both sides today ex
pressed satisfaction, however, over a re
draft of the resolution introduced by Rep-
chairman of the bank-
currency committee, to which

cratic members of the rules committee.
The original Pujo resolution provided

ing the existence of a money trust, and
including a long list of allegations of con
trol by the money power.

Dealers Want Grain
Exempt from Food
'ST. LOL'ld, Mo.; Feb. St-Th National
drain Dealer-association met her this
morning to discus what action shall be
taken in view of Pr. Harvey W. Wiley's
suggestion regarding the confiscation of
decaying corn.
The grain men will urge that Ih gov
ernment be asked to declare exempt from
the food and drugs act all product of
the soil In their raw state. Such a de
cision would prevent the bureau of chem
istry from gotnglnto the grain Inspection
business and carrying out the confisca
tion of Interstate shipments of grain.
Grain dealer went to Washington, r
C. about three weeks ago and conferred
with Dr. Wiley 'en the, corn proposition
following hi decision regarding sulphured
oat. ' While Wiley had admitted that
"sulphured oata'' were not Injurious, his
ruling was that the ultimate consumer
was being cheated. '
Dr. Wiley's attitude lead tb grain deal
ers to believe he will order corn In ele
vator and transit confiscated.
P. H. Goodman, efficiency expert for a
Chicago grain dealer, .who I In the city
to attend tne meeting, advocatea farmers
raising small ears of corn, harvesting the
corn later in the year and allowing
It to dry more thoroughly before ship
ping. ...
The brief morning session was devoted
to addresses of members of, the Grain
Dealer association on what Dr. Wiley's
ruling really meant. It was acknowl
edged by many speakers that the corn
growers have been producing quantity,
not quality.'
Before recess a committee of seven was
appointed to co-operate with the legis
lative committee of the grain dealer In
drafting resolutions which will express
a sentiment of the meeting. The com
mittee will report lata today.

OMAHA CASE BEFORE JUDGE
Test Cue Filed! at Lincoln and
A rawed y City Attorney Mine and
Attorney gelarleit Beatrice
Stan Takea Tart.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Feb. H-(ipectai Telegram.)
W. L. Baughn of Omaha today filed a
mandamus suit In the supreme court
which destined to test the valadlty of
th commission form of government law
which ha been adopted by Omaha. Th
writ la asked to compel Treasurer Ur to
ascent th filing fee of Baughn. who
wished to run a a candidal for city
clerk. Th money waa refused because
the commission chartea doe not pro vide
for such an office, though the charter
under which Omaha now operate doe.
Th court had promised a speedy deter
mination of the case that any opinion of
th court might pot interfere with the
spline lection.'
Two thing were apparent tn th hear
ing of tb case this afternoon. On waa
thai same, member of th court at least
are inclined to r attain th law. It ques
tions asked ef Isadora Eelgier. wno ap
peared a attorney for. Baughn, are any
criterion.
In regard to th argument th legisla
ture bad no tight to delegat th power
of accepting th provision of th law
to th voter of a city, but that the law
must apply to all. Justice Sedgwick called
attention to the Herd law in force In
Iowa under a similar constitution! pre
vision snd also suggested th decision of
th federal supreme court In the Oregon
referendum case, that th law was a po
litical question and, beyond (he Jurisdic
tion of the courts? might be applicable.
Old Law aapeaded.
When th point waa mad that the
law waa Invalid because it was broader
than Its title because It pretended to be
an act complete In Itself and yet waa
amendatory to and repealed other laws
Justice Barnes suggested If It waa not
a fact that ft did not repeal the old laws
regarding dtles but simply suspended
them so far as they related to cities
adopting th new form and left th old
law in affect 'for those which did not.
Several other question seemed to Indi
cate th trend of the court.
Kretalnser May File New Case.
Another thing apparent was that O. E.
Kretslnger of Beatrice, who had Intended
to argue against the validity of the law
was not satisfied that the plaintiff In
this case had raised 'all the points he
wished to urge against th laav When
he said that as a friend of th court he
would file a brief Instead of making an
oral argument, tb court Informed him
that ha must confine his argument to the
pleadings as filed, Mr, Kretslnger
Inclined to demur. He ,wa told it waa
th practice of the court, when others
wished to adhere as friend of the court,
to confine the argument to th points
raised by th actual litigants In th case.
Front remark mad by Mr.. KretalBger
It I not Improbable another action to
test th law may be brought from
Beatrice, which ha also voted for the
commission form.
Zelglrr'a Attitade.
Th contention of Mr. Zelgler was that
the act la unconstitutional because It I
not complete In Itself, but amendatory,
because it Is an attempt on the part of
the legislature to delegate to dtles a
power which th legislature cannot ex
ercise. It delegating to the ovter the
tight to say whether the law shall be
operative In one place and not In an
other; further that It violate th consti
tutional provision against special legis
lation. In that it enables one city of a
certain class to have one form of govern
ment and another of the same class to
have another.
Art Itself Ceaaelete.
John A. Rlne. city attorney of Omaha,
and J. P. Breea. who argued for the
law, contended tbatt he act was com
plete wuln Itself and that It was a well
settled principle that an Independent or
original act may amend, modify or re
peal by Implication, prior legislation; that
the act la not rendered tncoropetent be
cause resort must b bad to prior law to
permit the proposed city commissioners
fuly to administer the powers conferred
upon them, and that courts in other trates
having similar constitutional provisions
have ruled that similar acts are not spe
cial legislation.

One of the marvels of the day la Omaha
I th number of people that have come
to Omaha to see th show and buy
auto. The hotels are still full of them.
Sale ar of such . common occurrence
with all the dealer that a single sale -la
no longer a subject of conversational
comment. It requires, say, three sale
la a single hour, or tn or six sales la .
a day to afford a subject of conversation.
among the dealers.
Many of th purchaser selected their
car from th floor, to be delivered after .
the show, and sometime two would de
cide en til earns oar. Such was the case
with th handsome Franklin of crushed
strawberry color exhibited by Guy Smith.
Two women had greatly admired the car
and one of them walked up to Mr. Smith
and said:
"We have decided to tak that car,
but w don't know which on of us It
gotac to pay for it. Both ef a want If
and we're going te draw straw now ur
see which tales It." . .

"There I a vast djffarenoa In tli clam '
ef people attending th Omaha .. and
III New fork show," said Mr. eHetnhauer
of th Abbott-Detroit motor factory
who I hsr deraonetrsrlng th Abbott
Detroit car. "In New Tork the dealer
would hardly notice a man unless he waa '
dressed in the latest style. If a farmer
walked in Ihey would pay ao attention
lo him whatever.
"In Omaha the dealers are entirely dif
ferent. Th farmer 1 the man they want
te II to. . Th reason for this Is that
Ih farmer, whll not dressed In th
latest Parisian styles, I th msn who
can produce the roll and buy th car
outright, and th local dealers ar awar
uf this fact.
This is on of the reasons why there
ar more car sold at th Omaha show
than there were at th New Tork show.
and one ot the things that make th
Omaha show known all over the country
as th great exhibition. .
The factories In the east are all
aware that the Omaha show Is on ot
th leading Shows In the country. While
there ar many local show In all sec

ar only sent to the Onutua allow."

curs make you wonder
whether you had better get
rid of that last season's
model and buy one of
those bright, new ma
chines. Certainly those
new motors are an im
provement over last
year's, and they'll make a
splendid machine for this
summer.
Tb old car cannot compare
wIU the new one at the big;
show, -and yon cannot deceive
yourself into believing that it
does.
If you wish to set rid ot It
and gather a deal of money
to apply on one of the new,
handsome machines. Just let a
Bee want ad help yon. List
your bargain car in the classi
fied columns and it will reach
an immense number vf people
who have great buying ability.
Try an ad in The Bee lor a
short time. No need to coma
her) joarself; Just shona , .
