Many Keep on Governor. Tt Is probable the committee which makes the greatest record In Its work will be continued to discover from the legal department of the state what has become of the suits brought by the rail roads to knock out the Z-cent fare law, the Aldrlch 15 per cent freight reduction law and other laws of a similar kind enacted In 1907 'before the progressive bull moosers were on earth. According to the legal department the cases referred to are aln the fedsral court at this time. All the testimony has been taken In tho case of the Rock Island and part of the testimony has been taken In the Burlington case. The cases have not been submitted for the reason there are similar cases Rending In the United States supromo court from Missouri and Minnesota.

According to the legal department Ne braska is not In a position to ask that the cases be hurried along, because, thanks j to a legal department crcaiea oriore i tho bull moosers infested the country, the laws mentioned are all In effect In this state. Should the cases be decided In favor of tho railroads, against Missouri and Minnesota, It Is possible the railroads may be able to secure an Injunction against tho operation of tho laws In Ne braska.

Wilson's Anti-Trust Bills Are Now Ready for His Signature TRENTON', N. J., Feb. lS.-Govcrnor Wilson's seven anti-trust bills this nftor noon passed the house In exactly the same form as they passed the senate last week. Tho bills now go back to the sen ate, the body In which they originate!, for formal transmission to the governor. Objections to the seven anti-trust bills fathered by Governor Wilson came to him from an unlooked for quarter today when a group of state labor leaders sug gested the possibility that the bills might he construed as affecting labor unions. They called tho governor's attention to the provision In one of tho bills which would prohibit "any combination or agreement between two or more cor porations, firms or persona to creato re strictions In trade, to limit the produc tion or Increase prices." Secretary Henry F. Jlllfers of the New Jersey Federation of Labor showed the governor a letter he had received froni President Gompers of the American Fed eration of Labor, advising an emphatic piotest against the bills unless the fol lowing amendment was incorporated In the act In question: Nothing shall be so construed or held as t6 apply to the association or organi zations of working people Instituted to regulate wages, hours of labor, sanitary or" other conditions of labor. The governor pointed out that tho act restricts "persons dealing In commodi ties." He said that the courts of New Jersey have consistently hold that labor was not a commodity, bo there could bo no application to labor questions. The governor told the labor leaders that the amendment suggested by Mr. Gompers woulif invalidate all the seven anti-trust acts and would be held as class legislation.

Tho resolution recites that "recent de velopments have disclosed that police of ficials In New York City are allied with violators of the law and have revealed grave defects In the administration of I criminal laws. Such conditions demand ! Immedintc legislation to the end that the confidence of the people In the officials charged with the maintenance of law and order be restored."

IS The Burnett Dillingham Immigration bill, vetoed by President Taft because It Imposed a liter acy test upon Immigrants, was passed over the president's voto In tho Benate to day, 52 to IS. The overwhelming majority given at the end of a short debate In which President Taft's attitude was criti cised vigorously has strengthened the probability that the bill will bo passed over the veto In the house when It Is called up tomorrow. Support of the president's pcsltlon was voiced In tho debate by but few speakers. Senators Lodge and Dillingham, leading the fight to override tho president, de clared the measure outlined so many Im portant provisions for the exclusion of criminal, diseased and Insane aliens that grqat harm would result to the United Statds If It did not become law. "I fall to understand why It Ih that the United States alone among nations Is not thought to have the right thnt nil nations have to say who shall comi- within Its borders," said Senator Lodge. "It is tho only country In the world where It Is argued that people born In other countries who never have seen tho United Mutes nre entitled to certain rights therein. Would Kxerclne IllKUt. "It Is for the citizens of the United States to say who shall come Into their country. That Is a primary right. Still less do I understand this extreme oppo sition to requiting that mi Immigrant shall be able to read before ho enters the United States. We do not allow a man to become a part of our body politic unless hn ran read and write his name. "We do not hesitate to apply a literary test to our own people. Why Is It we should .hesitate to apply It to a foreigner? "The opposition "to this test at bottom Is. thej same opposition that Is made to every effort to Improve our Immigration laws or restrict In any degree the num ber of Immigrants It comes from tha steamship companies, For twenty-five years wo have met that opposition at every turn, It .Is here today." "My reason for supporting the bill," said Senator Williams, "Is that I am afraid of Ignorance. I am afraid of the man who strikes ouf blindly to overcome the wrongs he thinks exist." Machine Gun is Stolen from the - American Troops EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 18.-A machine gun of the Thirteenth cavalry, platoon at Hachlta, N. M disappeared Sunday night, according to reliable reports re ceived here today. It is believed that Mexican rebels came over the border and stole the piece. Major Clark, district adjutant at Fort Bliss, declares no report of the theft has been made. However, the disappearance of the gun is fully verified. United States troops since' Monday morning, when the piece was missing, have been searching the border for a trace of the missing artillery, Hachlta is nearly twenty mllea from the nearest point on the border and how the gun was stolen Is. unexplained. A large quantity of ammunition for the gun also disap peared. The occurrence Is similar to an Inci dent at El Paso during the Madero revo lution, when rebels kidnaped an old can non from the center of the town, return ing the piece at the conclusion of hostil ities. Some days ago General Ines Salazar, the rebel commandcr-ln-chlef, boasted that some of his men would steul a ma chine gun from United States troops. riebelB evaded the border patrol nenr Columbus, N.

Klnslef, were found at 5 o'clock last night at the home of Ed McDcrmott In Council Bluffs. The boys were not kidnaped, but had only fallen victims of the wanderlust fi-ver. Not a single word woh uttered when Mr. Kinsler walked Into the McDcrmott home and motioned the boys to follow. Both boys silently stepped Into a wait ing automobile nnd a few minutes later were at their homes, eating supper with their families ns though nothing had hap pened. After Harkness Kountze had eaten sup per, he went straight to bed, without say ing a word about his adventures to nny one. Young Tom Kinsler took a bath be fore going to bed, but he, too, was silent Tho lads ran awuy from home Just "because." ( It might havo been that young Kinsler feared the consequence of "hookey" play ing and Induced young Kountze to Join him, or, as Mrs. Kountze said last night. It might havo been merely the spring weather lnnoculatlng the boys with wan derlust fever. Sleep Out of Doors, Anyway, they roamed about the Btreet of Omaha until about 9 o'clock Monday nlrht and then went to Council Bluffs. They slept out on an open hillside near St. Bernard's hospital all night, and thn In tht morning wont downtown boasting of their adventure to other little boys they met. Ed McDermott, a student at Crelghton living In the Bluffs, when he read In the morning newspapers of the disappearance of the two Omaha bays Identified them In his own mind. Mr. Kinsler was notified by telephone and McDermott was asked to locate tho boys If possible. Shortly beforo 5 o'cloe they wero found, penniless and quite hungry. When McDermott Invited them to hav something to eat they eagerly accept J, ami It waa while they were In the midst of their meal that Mr. Kinsler came lu Young Tom Kinsler had J2, which he had earned shoveling .snow last month, and this was used for food and candy and the llko during the twonty-six hours that the boys were away from home. Would .Not Talk. When reporters called at the homes of Mr. Kountze and Mr. Kinsler to talk to )the runaways they were denied pormlJ- slon. "I haven't talked to them myself," said Mr Kinsler. "I want to have my ooy teli me all about It of his own accord, and he may take his time about doing It. ' Immediately after the finding of "lie two boys the police of Council lllutf". South Omaha and Omaha wtro notlft id and the officers and private detcctlvei seeking the lads were oalled off the case. Detectives Murphy, Rich Sullivan and I.ahey, Captain Dempsey and Officers Hell and Emery spent the entire day scouring surrounding towns and private detectives and deputy sheriffs searched every place In Omaha where the two boys would be likely to go. Mrs. Kountze had tears In her eyes whu she talked to reporters, but tho tears were those of Joy. "I don't believe Harkness will do it again I think about one taste will prove enough. Of course I was worried ter ribly when he failed to put In an ap pearance yesterday, but now that It Is over, I can't say that I feel so badly.
