(Prom a SUM Correspondent)
Lincoln, April 7. (Special.) Con
victs of the state penitentiary would
"pass muster in any social center," ac
cording to Representative Auten of
Boone county, who went out to the
penitentiary and mixed a while with
the men doing service there, recently.
This statement was made in con
nection with the discussion of the
Oberliea bill, which would permit the
employment of convicts in public road
work and other lines.
Representative Shannon made a
fight to have the bill killed, saying
it would enable contractors on
bridges and other public works to
employ-the men cheaply and honest
labor would lose uot. He said right
now in Douglas county inmates of the
work house were hired out to eon
tractors at from 5 to 10 cents an hour
and the regular wage was collected
from the county.
After a spirited debate the bill was
sent to third reading.
Boost of Salary.
The salary of. State Veterinarian
Anderson. wa3 boosted from $2,400 to
$3,000 a year. The statement was
made that Anderson had an offer from
Kansas of $3,500 a year and that if
his salary was not raised he would
leave the state.
The Henry senate bill raising the
limit of school tax from 35 to 50 mills
was amended to make the maximum
45 mills, and sent to third reading in
that form. Other bills advanced were:
Governor Neville's bill amendlnr Insur
ance code. -
Counties made responsible for collection
of atate taxes, and special county tax levy
provided for If necessary to pay back taxes
delinquent.
One of 'the bills reported out for the
general file, but not yet lifted to the sift
Ins; file. Is Senator flplrk's proposed amend
ment to the constitution providing lor a

bers and eighteen senators, each to draw

stitution amendment).

City Hall Help is
Put On the Anxious
Seat by Lawmakers
City hall employes are on the anx
ious seat regarding a civil aervice
lill which was reported out of the
aiftinw committee of the legislature
on nSky. Those who have oeert
backktjf the measure confidently
expect it will be enacted into law
next week.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment of a civil service commission of
three members to be appointed by the
mayor. Present city employes will
b required to take examinations to
be prescribed by the civil service
board and' they will be placed on a
proposed permanent list if they pass
the examinations. Before taking ex
aminations they must be recom
mended by their respective superin
tendents. ' Another feature of the bill provides
that in case of dismissal from the per
manent list charges must be filed and
hearing held by the civil service com
mission. Exempted from the requirements
and privileges of the bill are the police
and fire departments, city legal de
partment, secretaries of the city com
missioners and the day laborers.
Some opposition to the bill has
been observed in the house.
Socialists at St. Louis
, ; Protest Against War
St. Louis, April 7. A special Ses
sion of the national convention of
the socialist party met here today to
present the attitude of the convention
on the war with Germany. Two hun
dred delegates were present.
Morris Hillquit of New York, tem
porary chairman, in calling the con
vention to order, said:
"Now that the nation is in the war
with Germany 4t remains for us to. see
to it that the predatory classes do
not make a cent off it. Let those who
can afford to pay finance the war
nof the working classes. .. ..
"It was the social revolution that
overthrew the Russian autocracy. And
, soon there will be a revolution in Ger
many and in Austria-Hungary. A re
bellious working class will end the
war by social revolution."
Mr. Hillquit said that at the out
break of the European war interna
tionalism had collapsed before "vul
gar patriotism."
"Our country has been violently,
needlessly, drawn into war," he con
tinued. "We are the only force in
America now with clear vision and it
remains for us to protest against the
butchery."'.

PHONE COMPLAINTS HEARD
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, April 7. (Specal.) Fol
lowing the opinon by Attorney Gen
eral Willis E. Reed, that the Nebraska,
Railway commission has no jursdic-
tion to approve $383,000,000 securi
ties under a reorganization of the
Missouri Pacific railroad, the officers
of the reorganzation have withdrawn
all riles and exhibits submitted two
week ago.
It was intimated that the new or
ganization had not definitely decided
on the steps necessary for the bonds
to be approved, and that the matter
presented wa purely informal pre
paratory for a hearing later in the
question of approval.
Telephone Complaints,
.The commission has considered a
half don minor telephone com
plaints from over the state. Two
mutual companies own a toll line be
tween Red Cloud and Bladen. One
would charge its subscribers 10 cents
and the other nothing. The companies
agreed to tax non-stockholders 10
cents and stockholders S cents. The
commission said the 10-cent basis
would have to apply to all. .
The Farmers' Independent Tele
phone company owns two telephone
lines switching at North Platte. It
wants to 'divide the lines and make
two companies. On a showing with
good reasons, the commission said
this could be done, on a bonafide sale
of the property to the divided corpor
ations. The commission has told a pro
posed farmers' competing telephone
company at Odell, Neb., it must file
plans and specifications before it wilt
be allowed to issue $25,000 in stock
for an exchange.
Exchange Rules Govern.
A farmers' company, which allows
visitors and employes free toll, is
switched by the Edison, Neb. ex
change, which has strict rules against
outsiders. The exchange rules gov
ern, the commission says.
The East Deer Creek Telephone
company refused to build a line for
F. R. Cross, a mile out of Ingram,
after he had-offered to pay half. The
commission holds the company must
give the service.
Instead of raising rates, the Ante
lope County Mutual Telephone com
pany proposed to let each subscriber
pay for his connecting line. The com
mission said no, for past subscribers
had not been required to do so.
The commission set Friday next
for the hearing of the application of
the Cuming County Indepdent Tele
phone company to issue $16700 in
stock to build an exchange at Wisner.
College Building at
Shenandoah Burns
Shenandoah, la., April 7. (Special
Telegram.) .Western Normal college
building, home of a normal school
founded thirty-five years' ago and
jointly used with Shenandoah High
school, 'burned at 6:45 this morning,
with a total loss of $75,000. Fire
started in the boiler room, although
there had been no fire since yesterday
at noon. The building, which was
owned by independent school dis
trict, was insured for $25,000. A bill
recently introduced in the Iowa leg
islature sought to make it a state
normal. Following a destructive fire
December 2, 1892., the building was
rebuilt It numbers among graduates
many prominent alumni, having been
one of the state's oldest educational
institutions. On the enrollment for
the winter term has been 175 students.
The building was also used by 125
high 'school students. Bonds were
recently voted to erect $160,000 grade
building and high school. The burn
ing of the college probably 'means
the passing of the normal and erec
tion of a high school on the campus.

Yankton Congressman
Given Jolt by Home Folks
Yankton, S. D., April 7. (Special.)
As soon as Yankton people heard
that Congressman C. H. Dillon had
voted with the minority in the great
administration war issues, indignation
broke all bounds here in Mr. Dillon's
home town, for four decades. A
meeting of the Commercial club was
called and a telegram was sent Mr.
Dillon, repudiating his action, inform
ing him that he was not representing
his constituents and hinting broadly
he resign. At the same time a tele
gram was sent to President Wilson
backing him and the majority in con
gress in the patriotic stand taken.
Yankton is more wrought up over the
situation than it has been in many a
day and Mr. Dillon has a serious sit
uation at home to contend with. He
has always been very pronounced
against any form of preparedness, and
his action is not a surprise to those
who have discussed the same subject
with hint.
