The first amendment to the bill, providing that no member of the legislature should be eligible to membership of the capitol commis sion was adopted without a dissent ing vote. Amendment Debated. Schmidt's amendment that the members of the commission should be paid a reasonable salary and be placed under bond was .debated. It was contended by those opposed to his amendment that there was noth ing to bond the members for as they did not have any fund in charge or were not expending any money. They were allowed expenses by the provisions of the bill arid the honor of serving on the committee should be sufficient compensation. Fults, speaking , in opposition to Schmidt's amendment said: "We are giving no more consideration to this important measure than we would to the building of a $100 hog barn. It would be hard to determine af ter the creation of a commission what would be a reasonable salary and the passage of the law to make it a felony for two or more per sons to conspire to defraud the state would be sufficient guaranty bond under the circumstances. 1 . Tracewell appealed to the house not to kill the bill by a lot of cheap amendments and said that all mem bers who would be selected to serve on the commission would be of a character that would serve the state in the "matter with the utmost hon esty. The amendment lost. Rodman Amendment Carried. Rodman moved, to amend the bill to read that a sum not to exceed $5,000,000 be expended in the con struction of the proposed capitol building and this was adopted. Representative Fries, Howard county, tried to have the bill amend ed so' as to have referendum vote of the people at a special election authorize the expenditure of funds for the proposed new building, but was voted down. 1 . ' The bill as amended so as to provide that the commission enter into no contract for the erection of the capitol until a year after the passage of the law has elapsed, and the levying of a special tax of 1 mills per annum for a period of 5 years, passed the committee of the whole and will be engrossed for third reading. Fries was the only representative who voted against the later amend ments to the bill. Affidavit Discloses Soldier Vote Ignored From a Staff Correspondent Lincoln. Jan. 28. A vote by mail cast by C. C. Frazier, former chief yeoman in the navy stationed at Chi cago, for a straight republican ticket is presumed never to have been counted by election commissioners in an affidavit now in the hands of Governor McKelvie. who made pub lic a copy of the affidavit Tuesday. The reason Frazier believes his vote was not counted was that he wrote in the name of Frank Edger ton, republican candidate for county attorney of Hamilton county, and on the official records of the soldier vote from that county not a scratch was credited to Edgerton. The affidavit, although not touch ing directly on the state senatorial vote in Omaha, is presumed to have a bearing on the Broatch-Tanner election contest before the senate committee on privileges and . elec tions, growing out of the election of John M. Tanner, democrat, by six soldier votes over J. W. croatch, republican. . ; The committee, of which Senator C L. Saunders of Omaha is chair man, met Tuesday afternoon to ar range details of the' hearing to begin Wednesday morning. North Bend . Sedition .Case Now in the Hands of the Jury Fremont. Xeb., Jan. 28.

JAPAN CLAIMS ISLANDS 111 THE PACIFIC OCEAN (Continued From Fait One.) posed by President Wilson, to a league of nations which would exer cise international control, while giv. ing a mandate to such powers as ad minister the particular colonies.

Has 7,000,000 Inhabitants. German East Africa is the most important territorial possession in volved as it has upward of 7,(100,000 inhabitants. Besides being adjacent to the British South Africa common wealth, it is a necessary link con necting the British in the south and the north, thus completing the Brit ish territorial chain between Cairo and Cape Colony. German Southwest Africa is re garded as less important, though the harbor in Walfish Bay has some ad vantages. Belgian interests are believed to be related to southwest Africa, while the French interests are toward the Kameruns and Togoland, which adjoin French Dahomey and the French Congo. China's interests in the colonies is in getting back Kiau-Chow after it passes from Germany to Japan, and also in the termination of German concessions at Tien-Tsin, Shanghai and other points. Japan's interests are both in Kiau-Chow and the Pa cific islands. The islands are being considered in two main groups, first New Guinea, Bismarck and the Samoa group, in which Australia and New Zeland are presenting their interests; and second the Marshall, Caroline and Marianne groups, lying east of the Philippines and south of Japan. The first group of islands is fer tile and productive; the second con sists of coral islets chiefly valuable as strategic bases. It is this whole range of colonies, once constituting Germany's hopes of world control, that are now under consideration in the sessions of the supreme council of the great pow ers. America Interested. The Pacific islands phase of the colonial claims now before the coun cil is particularly interesting to the American representatives because of the American interests in' the Pacific, notably through American possession of Hawaii and the Philip pines. There has been no official announcement of what Japan pro poses the powers should give her for her part in the war, but there have been reports here that Japan was willing to turn Kiao Chow back to China, but wished to retain the German rights to the development of the Hinterland. There has been no indication of how far she would press her claims to the Pacific islands. British Treaty Involved. London, Jan. 28. In referring to Japan's claims for islands in the Pacific the Paris correspondent of the Mail writes: "Such possession would be very distasteful to the United States and American political opinion is that if President Wilson agrees to this move his power will be seriously impaired. It is suggested that from this comes his earnest demand for the internationalization of all Pa cific colonies. It is quite cle. r, how ever, that the whole voice of the British empire at the peace congress supports the claims of Australia, New Zealand and the Union of South Africa and also agrees to the retention by Japan of the Marshalls , arid Carolines, with equatorial de limitation of influence."
