LINCOLN. Nov. 16.-(Speclul.)-Trie be
lief that Governor Aldrlch Is planning to
namo the new board oC control of state
buildings In the last minutes of Ids nd
uiinlstraflon was strengthened today when !
It became known that Dr. N. T. Johnson,
one of tho governor's bull mooso lieu
tenants. Is securing a largo number of
signatures to a recommendation for his
appointment to the board.
So far the governor has refused to deny
tho report that ho Is planning to retain
his grip on tho state machine through tho
now board of control for use two years
hence. That Dr. Jjohnson, with his record
aH a bull moose organizer In Franklin
county, would not attempt to land tho ap
pointment under Governor-elect Morehcad
seems apparent.
Accordingly, at the state house It was
pointed out that his activity means that
he lias some assurance from Governor
Aldrich to gather as many recommenda
tions as possible and get himself in line
for an appointment.
A few months ago ho was a candidate
for appointment on tho board of health
secretaries. This was ubandoned with
tho defeat of Governor Aldrich, as there
will not be a -acancy on this board until
next July. v
Hut ono thing now threatens to block
Governor Aldrlch's scheme to appoint the
Hoard of Control, and thereby dictate the
appointments in fourteen Btate institu
tions. That thing is tho provision in thn
amendment that before tho governor'
appointment becomes absolute it must be
approved by two-thirds of tho state sen
ate. With tho senato lineup eighteen
democratic and fourteen republican, tills
seems Impossible.
Cherry Comity Cnne.
Woodruff Ball's title to 107 acres of
land in Cherry county claimed by the
state of Nebraska as school lands be
longing to tho public domain is upheld by
Referee J. J. Sullivan IrTthe now famou?
"beor bottle corner" case. Tho court will
Wsa on tho. report of tho referee at a
later date.
The contest dates back to a govern
mental survey. in 18S2. Ball claimed, cor
roborated by several of his neighbors
that the surveyor had located on a cer
tain mound of earth marked by a beor
bottle. '
The Btate argued that the location had
been elBewhero and that the "beer bottle
corner" has no relevancy to the suit.
The court a year ago after a long trial
decided In favor of the state, but granted
a now trial upon a showing of newly dis
covered evidence. Judge Sullivan was
appointed referee to hear tho evidence.
The referee says that the new evidence
Indicates that the state's theory of the
location is wrong and that tho weight of
proof tends to show that the Ball corner
was tho ono made by Surveyor McElroy
in 1882. lie gives as his opinion that the
supremo court's holding was without
foundation. The final decision In the
caso will be important as it twill affect
land titles in Cherry, Thomas, Grant and
Hooker counties.
llrotlior Charley Tnken Part.
That William J. Bryan will enter Into
the Hltchcock-"Iowa plan" federal pa
tronage controversy In Nebraska, through
the medium of "Brother" Charley, was
Indicated by C. W. Bryan here today.
Mr. Bryan refused to be quoted, but ho
did point out what he believed was an
attempt by Senator Hitchcock to "get
Chairman Thompson in bad" through the
publishing of tho correspbndence between
tho chairman and tho senator.
"I will have something to say in a few
days," Mr. Bryan said. "Let it brew a
while and then I'll get in."
T. S. Allen, Mr. Bryan's brother-in-law,
yesterday sold that-tho national congres
sional delegation who were figuring on
distributing the office "pie" were a little
premature. He Indicated that President
Wilson would mako tho Nebraska ap
pointments and that the president would
tako his directions from tlie Bryan wing
of Nebraska democracy rather than the
"reactionary" wing.
Progressive Democrat Expense.
Showing a balance, of J3S3 out of total
receipts of $7,959.29, the committee of the
Progressive Democratic league filed a
post-election expense statement at the
county clerk's office here today.
The statement shows that T. S. Allen's
campaign league received contributions
amounting to J7.K9.20. The largest part

mltteo, about W.OCV) havlnc been Mnt In I

turned from attending a meeting of the
Western Passenger association at Chi
cago.
At the meeting, Mr. Mellor with other
western fair association representatives,
teuuested that a special passenger turiff
bo inaugurated during tho stato fair.
Since returning Mr. Mellor has received
from Secretary McLeod of tho passenger
association, a request for n statement
a to tho number of admissions at Ne
braska fairs of tho Inst few years.
This will show that while in 1311 there
was a 23 per cent admission gain, this
year thero was but 2 per cent. This exists
in spite of greater expenditures for ex
hlblts and Is believed to exist because of
the special rate proposition.
