FEE SPLITTING HAS
SHAVE IN SENATE
Effort to Make Law Affecting
Doctors More Stringent
Endangers Act.
ALBERT EXPRESSES VIEWS
(From staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 9. (Special.) For
not being satisfied with the present
law imposing penaltica on doctors
who split fees with those whom they
call into consultation, Representative
Stuhr came near losing not only his
amendment but the entire statute gov
erning this situation, in. the senate
todav.
At it was, the original statute was
saved by a olose vote against an
amendment by Senator (Dr.) Joty of
Seward, changing House Roll No. 69
into a law repealing the old statute.
The house roll so changed tne
statute that it put the fine on the
doctor who paid the fee, relieving the
one who received it Under this ar
rangement tt was argued that it would
be impossible to secure evidence, now
out of the question to get, when both
doctors are made guilty parties.
Speaking for Senator Doty's amend
ment, Senator Albert of Platte de
clared that he saw no harm in doc
tors splitting fees if they so desired.
He declared that lawyers did it, and
. it was not dishonorable.
To the merriment of the upper
chamber, Robertson of Holt forth
with tent up a substitute amendment
replacing the word "doctors" in the
bill with the word "lawyers."
Senator Chappell of Minden, chair
man of the committee of the whole,
ruled the substitute out of order.
Doty's amendment lost by a nar
row margin, and the vote to indefi
nitely postpone carried, with the ex
pression of fear that the present law
would tufler if any more tampering
was attempted.

You Cannot Expect
To Have a Clear
Complexion
By Constantly Massaging It With
So-called Skin Foods or Creams,
: Often Rancid or Germy,
Substitute Cuticura
. For One Week
And make Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment your every-day toilet preparations.
They cannot possibly injure the pores.
Contrast the purity, fragrance, comfort
and convenience of these tuner-creamy
emollients with "beauty fads" so com
mon, tiresome and expensive. A bath
with Cuticura Soap and hot water on
rising and retiring thoroughly cleanses
ana stimulates sluggish pores, giving
the complexion a fresh healthy glow.
If signs of pimples, redness or rough
ness be present smear them with the
Ointment and let it remain five minutes
before bathing. Nothing purer, sweeter
or more effective for your skin and hair
than Cuticura no matter how much you
pay for it.

Senate Kills Bill
To Raise Pay of
Commissioners
Lincoln, March 9. (Special Tele
gram.) By a vote of 21 to 11 the
senate refused to raise the salaries
of county commissioners in Douglas
county. The bill first called for a
raise to $3,600, but was amended to
$3,000, which also failed.
In the discussion which took place
Howell was charged by Tanner with
getting the salaries of all of his pets
raised, but now was opposed to rais
ing salaries of anybody else. He was
charged with "being against the ma
jority ot the Douglas delegation."
"I may not be with a majority of
the delegation," said Howell, "but I
represent the '20 per cent pure' part
of it." This is the appclation which
has been tacked upon Senator Howell
because of certain remarks made at
the beginning of the session and "20
per cent pure" has stuck to him
since. Howell was backed by Streh
low. Omaha Charter

KOENIGSTEIN CASE
BEFORE HIGH COURT
Former Madison County Attor
ney Is Fighting for New
Trial.
ATTACKING JURY PANEL
Lincoln, Neb., March 9. Followers
of legal history displayed unusual in
terest here today in the hearing of
Arthur J. Koenigstein, former county
attorney of Madison county, who was
convicted on bribery charges and is
making an appeal for a new trial.
Koenigstein, who is now on bond,
was found guilty by a jury in Norfolk
October 3, 1915, of having, for four
successive months, beginning Septem
ber 30, 1914, while county attorney,
accepted $75 from Nannie Myers, an
alleged resort keeper. The total was
alleged in this case to be $300.
In addition to the penitentiary sen
tence, the court found that he should
pay the costs of the criminal suit,
which amounted to $396.65.
The defense in the appeal is vigor
ously attacking a special jury panel
which was drawn expressly for the
trial of Koenigstein on the charge of
which he was convicted.
A regular panel had acquitted the
former county attorney on a similar
charge, involving Fern McDonald, an
other alleger resort keeper. The same
witnesses and the same evidence had
been used in the Myers' prosecution,
following immediately afterward,
which resulted in a conviction.
The defense is seeking to establish
error for the reason that the judge
sitting in the case, .vhich admitted
the same evidence as in the trial on
the McDonald charge, refused to ad
mit as evidence the jury acquittal.
Assistant Attorney General C. S. Roe
is handling the appeal for the state.
