After Killing Car Shortage
Appropriation, Backs Up
and Passes It.
TO CLOSE BARBER SHOPS
(From a Staff Correapondent.)
Lincoln, Feb. 9. (Special.) If any-j
body wants to kill a bill in the lower j
liousc all that is necessary is to tack
an appropriation of a few dollars to
it and goodby bill. The graveyard
for it.
Calling loud and long for investiga
tion of the car shortage, when it came
to paying for the investigation put
on by the railway commission, cost
ing about $1,500, the house sat down
on the bill. After discovering that
such action was inconsistent they
brought the mater up again and passed
it through with the emergency clause!

Detectives Look Into '
" Attempt to Wreck'
Grand Island Train
Hastings, Neb.. Fel. 9. (Special
Telegram.) Detectives arrived here
tbday to investigate what is believed
to have been a deliberate attempt
Wednesday night to wreck the south
bound St. Joseph & Grand Island
railroad passenger train a mile and a
half south of Edgar.
A railroad tie was wedged tightly
between the rails in such a manner
as to make derailment practically a
certainty. The pilot of the engine,
however, split the tie-and the locomo
tive remained on the track. The
work was carefully done, the tie
being so placed as not to attract the
attention of the engineer whose first
knowledge of the attempt came when
he heard the engine strike the tie.
The train was stopped and a careful
search made which revealed no trace
of would-be wreckers.

Recruiting Officers . Are In

Force Immediately.
MANY SEEKING SERVICE
Washington, Feb. 9. Navy recruit
ing agents have been instructed to
immediately enlist 25,000 additional
men.
While the current naval bill author
ized a peace strength of 74,000 men,
it carried appropriations for consid
erably less than that number since the
department had estimated that in the
normal course of events not more
than 10,000 recruits above the num
ber necessary to replace men dis
charged could be found.
Officials have been encouraged by
recruiting returns during the winter
months, however, which have brought
the actual strength up to nearly 58,000
men already.
In the event of war probably the
first act of the president will be to
authorize the enlistment of the maxi
mum war strength of 87,000. Prob-

ably this could be qujckly accom
plished by a provision in the depart
ment's regulations permitting volun
teers to enlist for the duration of the
war and not binding them to a full
enlistment in times of peace.
In the War department steps arc
under consideration tor hurrying or
ganization, of the officers' reserve
corps, Less than 1,000 men have been
commissioned so far, although ap
proximately 50,000 would be required
for a volunteer army of 500,000 men.
An official statement issued today
calls attention to the classes of men
eligible for commissions and urges
that' "There is no reason why eligible
men should hesitate to apply for
commissions on account of being
rusty or even deficient in technical
military matters." It says personality
and probable efficiency of the indi
viduals are given greatest weight by
examining . officers. The establish
ment of examining boards in every
city or town where a fair number of
applicants come forward is now be
ing considered.

Work of Mustering Out Fifth
Nebraska Regiment Begins
Today at Fort Crook.
FREMONT BOYS FIRST TO GO
The actual work of mustering out
the Fifth regiment started this morn
ing with the examination of the Signal
Corps of Fremont, ommanded by Cap
tain .Ices. Army officers estimate that
it will be at least fifteen davs, and
possibly longer, before all the work
necessary for the changing back of
tne soldiers to guardsmen is complete.
Although the Fifth did a great deal
of its "paper work" while still on the
border, army officers detailed to do
the mustering out at Fort Crook said
that it would all have to be done over
again and under their supervision.
One Suit to the Man.
Predicting that the government and
state would take away their clothing,
officers of the recently returned regi
ment have quietly passed the ward
along to their men that they should
not have on hand any more than the
actual clothing they are now wearing,
when state and armv officers are ready
for inspection. Apparently the sol
diers are taking advantage of the hint.
as most of them have only the mini
mum of clothing now on hand.
"It's not right that the men should
lose the clothes they paid for," said
Colonel 1'aul, commanding officer. "If
the government owes the state, its up
lo the government to settle, but I
can't sec why the men should be
made to Slider in the deal."
Only four cases of sickness are re
ported at l-oi't Crook, all of which
are of a minor nature. One of the
sick men has indigestion, another
rheumatism and the other two colds.
To Curtail on Passes.
An order issued to all captains Is
that they should not issue any more
passes to their men than possible, so
that mustering out may not be inter
fered with.
When the regiment returned from
the border it brought thirty-two
horses. The horses were used by the
signal corps and are to be turned over
to that organization when mustered
out.
Sharp, secretary-treasurer of the
Townsend Gun company, has recently
been appointed captain in the quarter
master's department of the Fifth resi
dent and is now at Fort Crook, aid
ing in tne checking up work.
