(From a Staff Conospondent. 1 LINCOLN, March 21. (Special Tele gram.) The house this afternoon In com mittee of the wliolo went on record for and against homo rule. It favored homo mlo when It recommended the bill to place tin wnter works of Omaha under the Jurisdiction of the city commissioners, thus abolishing the Water board, amended to take effect when a majority of the voteis at u special or general election vote for the same. It opposed homo rule when It recom mended fur passage the Dodgc-Sugar-man election bill amended to provtdo the governor shdll appoint an election com missioner for Douglas county. As the latter bill came from the senato It provided tho election commissioner should bs appointed by the district clerk, county clerk and treasurer. The Judiciary committee of the house gave the ap pointing power to the governor and the house sustained the committee over tho protest of several members of the Doug las county delegation. In discussing the bill to abolish the Water board, Mike Lee, In defence of his former employers, tho Water board, started a show that for a few moments was Intensely exciting and highly amus ing. Lee asked those who signed the bill as Introducers why they wanted to turn tho water works over to the "Third ward gang" und to explain wiy they did not provide for a vote In all the towns which the Water board Is trying to unlto Into a Water district. Leo then said a co.t spliacy. existed between the "Third ward gang," Tom Dcnnlson and -the stock yards to wreck the Omaha water plant. Will Let People Vote. Notwithstanding Leo's charges and the fact that miniature copies 'of tho World Ileruld containing' a cartoon td the effect that the charter commission wnB elected by tho Inhabitants of the red light dis trict and an editorial to the same effect, wcro passed U all the members, and despite the Mr. Howell's desperate work and despite Senator Dodge's presence on tho floor, tho houso Insisted on giving to the people ot Omaha tho right to say at an election whether they wnntcd to sup port a dual city government or place all the government In the hands of a com mission elected by the people. The roll was not called, but the aye vote was ucrwheimlng. liolleti wanted to get even with those members of the house who recently killed one of hlH proposed constitutional amend ments providing amendments shall be adopted when a majority of the members voting on a subject favor It. He pro posed an amendment which was adopted that before the Water boardd Is abolished a majority of those voting at the election shall favor It. A majority of ths Douglas delegation favoring the bill, gladly ac cepted the amendment. Then Uollen pro posed that the special election be cut out and tho question aubmitted at a general election. This amendment was killed. Simon said the object of tho bill was was to turn over to the city commission the light to manage the water works. He explained that when Omaha adopted the commission form of government, It abolished dthc park board and the police board and each commissioner headed some department of the city govern ment. Under the present arrangement the city now had to pay the city com missioners JI.KK) each annually and pay the Water board $3,600 annually. A city attorney and attorneys for the Water board; the city engineer and engineers for the Water board. Ho resented vigorously the statement of Mike Lee and urged the members' not to bo confused by Mike's efforts to throw dirty water on tho question. "He Is only doing It to poison your minds," said Simon. He expressed regret that a man from Omaha should say that the 140,0X1 people were under the domination of the Third ward. "I resent the Idea of a dirty state ment like this." He explained the bill did not abolish the Water board, but left it to a vote of the people. Anderson called attention to the fact that the people of Omaha had repudi ated the Water board members as a candidate for a placo on the charter commission. The fireworks became so conspicuous that Sugarman urged the chairman to stop further washing of (Continued on Page Five.) The Weather remyerntnre OnmliH Yeaterilnr. Hour.

License to Friedmann PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. March 21 -No temporary medical license will bo granted by the Pennsylvania States Hoard of Medical Examiners to Dr. Frledarlch Franx Friedman of Merlin, who assertn he has discovered a cure for tubercu losis. Thlg statement was- made yester day by Dr. J. M. Baldy. president of the I board. Dr. Friedmann told four local I llflVntrlnMa flint tin wmilff nnt innin tn this city to perform experimental work unless he shoutd receive a temporary licnisc giving lilm permission to practice here. "Wo will never grant Dr. Friedmann a temporary license," declared Dr. Baldy last night. "In the first place, tho laws of the state do not permit such action, and, secondly, tho members of the State Bo5nt" of Medical Examiners do not In tend to make themselves responsible for Dr. Friedmann and his 'cure.' , IC Dr. Friedmann wishes to come here and treat patients and collect fees for treatment, he will be compelled to take the state board examinations similar to those taken by anv other physician wishing to practice In the state. We do not object, however, to his coming here as a consult- I Ing physician and demonstrating bis vac I cine, and I think every physician lit tho city will welcome him If he should como under these conditions. We feel, how ever, that some hospital should take the responsibility, whether lie Is successful or not." Applicant for Coal Claim Knew Little Ahout It CHICAGO, March 21. Evidence against Albert C. Frost and four others on trial beforo Federal Judge Landls for alleged Alaskan land frauds was offered today by Miss Florence Capron, formerly of Wlnnetka, 111.

Mr. Frost at this time was head of the electric railway. "I don't recall any of the conversation I had with Mr. Mlrrelles," said the wit ness, "because It made so llttlo Impres sion on my mind. I knew In a general way that Mr. Frost was interested In an Alaskan railroad and that Mr. Mlrrallcs also was interested in the same project. He asked me to sign and as a favor I signed." "Did you have any personal Interest In the matter?" asked Attorney D. B. Town send, special assistant attorney general, "Oh, none at all," replied Miss Capron. "When did you first really 1now what the papers you signed were about?'1 "WheH I was called before tho grand Jury several weeks ago.',, Hair Found Stored in a Secret Cellar on Musica Premises NEW YORK.
