' Special to TheyBee. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 16. Senate File No. 4, memoralizing the con gress of the United States to pass a woman suffrage bill and instructing Senator Hitchcock to support such a measure, was passed on second reading and ordered placed on the r general file by the lower house of ; the legislature today. The vote was unanimous, every democrat and '.: nonpartisan supporting the measure. ; It is expected that the measure will past on third reading tomorrow. 1 In the afternoon session it seem- ed as though every member of the ' house wanted his name on the reso- ' lution memoralizing congress to submit a bill for national woman's suffrage andMnstnlcting Senator 1 Hitchcock to vote for the same. Foster Objects. ; Foster of Dougla9"objected to the ; house amendment placing the names of Hostetler, Barton Green, Miller, . Mears, Jacobs, Jacobson, Axtel, Carstensen, Tracewell, Hunt, Lam pert and Fries to the bill as it en- : cumbered the measure. 1 Purcell thought it was iiuthe na- ture of free advertising. , McLellan said if there was any man on th.e list who was ashamed to have his name on 'the measure he I could erase it and substitute McLel ; lan's name and he would be proud I, of the honor. Hostetler said he did not know ; there was any discrimination in I asking for the names of those sponsoring the bill; that the woman who had worked for the measure ' on the floor of the house had named r a man fr m each congressional dis I trict in the state, and tried to give 1 the honor to the old members who had worked for woman's suffrage in the past. Davis asked: "Who was the worn- an who worked for the measure on . the floor of the house? There is no ) lobbyist of record in the office of the secretary of state as provided bj , law. Who is she? What is her ' name?" Mrs. Barkley Interested. The lady engineer of the bill, Mrs. i Barley of Lincoln, was on the floor of the house, -very much interested I in the fate of the bill, but the mem ' bers who knew of her identity very 1 gallantly kept her secret. ! Foster then moved that the names 1 of all of the members of the house j be appended to the measure as in- troduccrs. ! , Good objected, saying: "You are ; making the thing' ridiculous." I "Just what I wanted to do," said 1 Foster. "I want to discourage this '; practice of so many members ap ; pending their names to bills just to i get the credit and a little free ad ; vertising." , .- ; When the motion for the adop t tion of the house amendment, ad- ding the names of the house mem ; bers to the resolution as introdu j cers was put to a vote it was lost. ; Recommended for Passage. ; The committee of the whole then i recommended it for passage and it .will be put on third reading and passage, with concurrent action in the senate Friday. ; There was a decided slump in then introduction of bills m both house '. and senate, the new house bills in troduced numbering 10 Thursday, i One of the most important , of these bills is that of Jenkins, which ; appropriates $15,000 for the creation of a sub fish hatchery and a game preserve for the breeding of insec tivorous game birds in Dundy ', county. , ; Porter of Douglas introduced a Jbill permitting the use of school 'houses as community centers and ;for public meetings. v Senate Committee to Take Up Contest of W.
