HOWARD DEFENDS
OFFICERS' RIGHT
Lieutenant Governor Refuses
to Let Senate Say Who
Shall Take Gavel.
LANCASTER HAS A SPLIT
(From a Staff Corrnwrnflam.)
Lincoln, Feb. 2i (Special.) Is
Lieutenant Governor Howard trying
to emulate the example of a once
noted ipeaker of the national con
grest and put himself in the same
class with Joe Cannon, Tom Reed
and other so-called czars of the na
tional house, is a matter which re
ceived some attention this morning
when after Senator Moriarty of
Douglas had sent up a motion that
"the senate resolve itself into a com'
mittee of the whole with Spirk of
Saline in the chair," Lieutenant Gov
. ernor Howard promptly declaVed the
last cart of 4he motion out of order,
unconstitutional, and taking from the
chair an authority given him and that
part relating to the senator from Sa
line must rat stand.
Moriarty promptly appealed from
the decision of the chair, but the ap
peal lacked one vote of going far
enough and the wisdom of the pre
siding officer was acknowledged by
a vote ot 1J to U. Mr. Howard
then promptly called Senator Spirk
to the chair. Among those who voted
against the chair's ruling were the
' aenate leaders, Mattes, Kohl and
Henry.
Lancaster Splits.
The Lancaster county delegation in
the state aenate was split .up fright
fully over a bill calling for a repeal
of the law protecting squirrels, though
' neither of the two senators would
admit that they thought themselves
in danger.
Senator Oberlies wanted the law
repealed, while Senator Sawyer did
not want it repealed. It was a sort
of a Gaston-Alfonse sort of a row and
finally ended by Oberliea saying that
rather than offend hia colleague he
would, vote . against his own bill,
rnougn u was iniroaucea ai mc re
quest of lovers of birds. The bill
was then indehnttely postponed.
Ask New State House.
Th senate j refused to go on rec"
ord favoring 'a new state house, a!
though Senator Spirk, introducer of
the resolution, made a valiant fight
for auch action. However, the matter
was laid over until Tueaday.
Senator Mattes said that "we all
realise the need of a new building,
but he thought it unwis for the sen
ate to go on record before the house
took action. , , .: . -;
A committee of three, consisting
of Chappell, Moriarty and McMullen
were appointed to act with I tike com-
1 mitte from the house to provide for
the celebration of the semi-centennial
of the admission of Nebraska
into the union, March 1,
- A resolution from the Omaha Corn
.mencial club catling upon congress to
make an appropriation for the deep
ening of the Missouri river from Kan
sas City to Yankton, was unanimously
sdonted. - . .
The senate committee of the whole
recommends for passage Friday morn
ing Senate File No., 145, by Henry
of Colfax, designed as an amendment
to- the present warehouse taw to en
large the scope of the law and to
permit recovery on the warehouse
man's bond for failure to daliver grain
ihipments on call.
Amend Elevator Lew.
The original law applying to "ele
vatora and warehouses" is amended
to include any merchant or grain
dealer who accepts grain for atorage
or allows grain to be stored in his
place of business. '
terminal warehouses, exempted
I from the operation of the law under
Henry's bill, were included in an
an amendment offered in committee
of the whole by Senator Beal of Cus
ter. The bill allows the railway com
mission to call on county attorneys
to help prosecute. -
The i bill by Lahners, Senate File
No. 166, to allow guardsmen on duty
. to vote, would have had an easy
passage to third reading, had it not
been held ever to let the author apeei
fy the penaltv for the "felony," which
under the bill would be constituted by
election frauds and failure in carry
ing out thep rovisions of the act.
