LINCOLN. March 7.-(8poclal.)-Tli
board of control bill occupied the printer
part of the time of the senate thin morn
InfC. a few amendment having1 ben
made when the noon adjournment was
taken.
The flr.it senate bills passed by the
house arrived back at tho neimtc this
mprnliiK, boltiK No. 12, by Busheo of Kim
ball, providing that taxable property of
Joint school districts shall ld nssqssell
between districts according to propor
tionate amount of property: No. 21, by
Hoagland of Lancaster, providing for a
double shift for Uncolii firemen, and No.
124, by Dusheo of Kimball, with a short
amendment which will necessitate the
bill attain coming up In the senate. This
bill provides for state nld to school dis
tricts over twelve, square miles In area.
House roll No. K providing for J16.W)
to cover deficiency claims of the ortho
pedic hospital came over from the hotiso
during the morning session nnd was at
once ordered advanced to third" rending.
In taking up the board of control bills,
Conical of Red Willow, chairman of tho
fhcIh1 committee nppolntcd to fix up thg
two bills covering the maltcr of the
board of control, announced that the
committee had taken No. 3, tho Ollis bill,
and had built up the bill on that founda
tion and would recommend tho Indefin
ite postponement of No. "S. tho codo bill.
The recommendation was adopted and
the senate at onco went Into committee
of the wholo with Klechel of Nemaha
In the chair to consider the board of
control measure.
Nothing short of an earthquake could
prevent Hongland. tho North Platto
stateman, from Introducing amendments
and the work began. Each amendment
was accompanied with a speech cover
ing a long or short period as the spirit
happened to move and with ono or two
amendments offered by others, were con
sidered. Nono of them materially changed
the bill with one or two exceptions.
Ollis amended the bill so that the
governor shall send in his appointments
on the board of, control before the first
twenty days of the session. Hongland
had his little amendment ready to change
the Ollis amendment to read ten days,
but tho senate thought tho Ollis amend
ment good enough and the senator from
Uncoln county dovo down Into his desk
Yor tho next one. Ollis again amen. led
the bill so that some member of the
board of control will have to visit each
Institution once every sixty days Instead
of once every three months.
Ollis offered an amendmen
governor power whenever be fought
necessary to tcnu out. .
vestlgate the board or any other nrtltu
tlon under its control. The "mndemen :
was to take the place of section 23. re
latlnff to tho appointment of a regular
board of visitors.
Senator Dodge opposed tho amendment
because lie thought that section S) was
good enough ahd ho believed that he
amendment was Just a scheme for tho
governor to appoint some detectives jo
so snooping around looking for somo-
tho"lU did not bellcvo that a regular
board was necessary. . u woma m..

LINCOLN, March 7. - (Special Tel

debated of tho session, the house In tho
ccmmlltetj of the wholo tnls morning
voted to Indefinite! postpone the Druwe
dow bill to permit the clerk of tho pollci
cctirt of Omaha to accept cash bonds.
This action was taken oven though every
member of the Douglas delegation pres
ent except Davis, who did not vote, fa-
ored tho b(ll. Foster, Brain and l)rucs-
aow wero iucnt. When the roll wab
culled Davis passed. Later Simon asked

formed, him.
Mr. Chairman," said Blmon, "Is there
ny away to have the records show that
Davis Is out in. the barber' shop and did
not vote on this bill?" The enly answer
was a, laugh from the house.
In tho nbsenco of Druesedow, HImon
led tho fight for the bill, but tho country
members Insisted that Its object was to
petmlt violation of tho Albert law, anil
udgc Palmer Insisted that .t would optn
the way to corrupt practices on tho part

best- bid he could- get on country butter
from a commission man this week was
19V4 cents per pound. - This same butter,
however, ho shipped to Omaha retailers,
who were anxious to pay IS cents per
pound. Ho buys It In at 21 cents, paying

prefer.
WIN HOLDUP MEN
ARE WORKING CHICAGO
CHICAGO, March 7.--Twln holdup men
who wore dressed so much alike and look
jo much allko that their Intended vlceltns
were un'able to tell thorn apart, made an
nsuccessful attempt to rob a saloon on
tho west side today.
Tho men appeared to bo about 22 years
old, flvo feet eight inches tall and each
wore a gray overcoat, gray cap and tan
hoes. Ho had a revolver and this was
the only means of telling them apart, ac
cording to the bartender.
WHO MAKES THE BIG PROFITS
(Continued from Pago One.)
Figuring on the basis of turning' tin
money onco each week, tho witness testi
fied thut tho 34 cents put Inli; a poUnd
of butter fat brought to tho creamory a
net profit of 3.12 at tho end of the year,
this, of course, figuring in tho 20 per cent
of salt and water in each pound, which
costs, nothing, but Is sold fifty-two times
each year ut 37 cents per pound, tho samo
price as the butter.
W. J. Hunter, a. North Twenty-fourth
street grocer,' In business about twenty
flvo years, disputed former testimony jf
commission men that tho retullers arc tho
ones who are getting the profits, growing
ncu mm uro responsiDio tor prices doiiik
high.
Mr. Hunter went through the list of
giocern who have Deen in the retail busi
ness since lid has been In Omaha, llu
pointed to scores of them who, whllo they
did business on a most economical basta,
failed. He named four or flvo who have
made soma money, testifying that mot
of them havo been able to barely make
what would be equivalent to fair salurloi,
On the lllnek List.
Mr. Hunter, according to hta testimony
had been up agulnat tho Froduce t
ohango and had been on the black list
once bicause ho owed a member 1.60,
Tho 'result of this was that he was pro
hibited from getting any more goods u.i
less he sent cosh with tho order.
Even the drivers of the commission
men's wagons knew that I was black
listed, and they considered U a Joke.
They 6ld It to my next door neighbor
an'd passed the word from oflo to another
Another time I went on the b'ack list' tor
a purpose. .
"I had been told that it olack-llsted I
would not be generally known. I let tho
account run past the week ai-.d then tela
phoned down for goods. Immediately
came back tho answer;
"We can't sell .you because you are on
tho black list. Tho same afternoon
driver for a commission house, ono with
which I had never dealt, going past my
store called out to me:
" 'You aro on the black list,' and
laughed at me as he drove on."
There Is no money In selling butter at
retail, according to Mr. Hunter, The gro
cer buys It today for 37 cents per pound
for the best, paying cash, or cash within
a week and retails it out at 40 cents, car
rying the customer thirty days as a ruin
and more times two and three months.
Lose Money on Hatter.
"Wo have to extend this long term of
credit, for If we- refuted we would lose
even our best trade. Tho result, of this
Is that there is not one out of fifty retail
grocers who' has sufficient money to carry
on the business.

time chairman of tne Chlcugo vice com
mission, which conducted' an Investigation
of vice conditions in thla city. A portion
of this report was suppressed by the
committee.
"Did not your company within tho .last
few years conduct a private Investigation
o ascertain the minimum wages neces
sary for n girl to support herself without
assistance?" asked O'Hara.
I don't recall there may have been
but I don't remember Just now. Perhaps
Mr. Miller-''
Elnlii Dollnm a Mini mam.
Tho latter promptly entered the borach
and said that such an investigation hod
been hold by a committee composed ot
department' heads.
"Th committee reported tne minimum
requirements of 'girls adrift' (not living
at home) was S.
"Now. I want to ask you." said O Kara,
"as a man of wide phllanthrophy, If you
think that low wages Induce Immorality
In women."
'I will answer that as I havo answered
before-there Is practically no connection
between them. I believe that prostitution
Is as likely to come to a woman who
earns over 910 as to one who earns less.
It depends on the women. A irtrl earn
ing a small wage might use that as a
subterfuge to defend her derelictions."
"Do you consider 5 enougn ior any
woman to live upon?"
Yes; if she lives at home."
'And 13 is enough for one who sup
ports heraelft"
That Is what our investigation
showed."
"How much did your corporation earn
in 19UT"
"Approximately $7,000,000."
"Could you raise wages and still pay
your stockholders a legitimate profit?"
The witness said that the stock of the
corporation pays T per cent on both com
mon and preferred. There was a surplus
of 12,000,000 at the end of 1912. He said he
cpuld have gven $2,000,000 out of profits
and still pay '.'some dividends."
State Senator Niels Juul asked the wit
ness If he thought stockholders were fair
Judges of what compensation the girls
should receive and If ho didn't think the
state would be a fairer Judge.
There was sporadic applause when Mr.
Rostnwald replied that he would be gla1
to meet the- wishes of the state "so far
as competitfon will permit."
Asked If he would object to disclosing
his own Income, he replied in the neg4
atlve.
Never Trlril It Himself.
"Well, then," smiled O'Hara, "could you
live on IS a week?"
Thero was a Utter when the witness
said he had never tried It
O'Hara asked if there were "drivers in
his employ. The witness had never heard
of them.
"Have you an employe called The
scolder'?"
"Not so far as I know."
Benator Juul took the witness and
wanted to know If the corporation took
pains to learn If the wage received by
girl was sufficient in the individual cause.
"No-o," was the slow reply,
"Then you proceed on the theory that
the girls must live on what you pay
them" commented Juul,
Then he asked It the witness thought
any woman should be asked to live on
1esi than ahy-average woman.
"Competition might account for the dif
ferences." Viplled the-wUneas.
"To pay 1.000 girls $5 a week more than
you do would eost' you T$300,000 a year,
stated the ketiatOr. "Would- that make
such a difference to! youK dividends?"
"I would not say IK answer to that,
that the earnings of oneiyear might not
be those ot other yean," Maid Mr. Rosen-watd.
