lost by a vote of 78 against and 18
for.
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.

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.
This larger question, affecting the
general administration of the colo'
nies, was considered by the council
today, as weil as the particular in
terests involved and the discussions
will be continued tomorrow morn
ing.
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."

tion of immigration for four years

measure by the house, i
Mf the bill is not passed by the
present congress, its juruose will be
partially defeated," Mr. Burnett
said. " It is intended to prevent a
great flood of immigrants cominfc
here as soon as peace is signed and
driving our own people out of work,
and also to keep out the bolsheviki.

gram.) If the senate judiciary com
mittee is sustained, H. R. No. 1,
ratifying the national prohibition
amendment, will be killed in the sen
ate. For a time the upper branch
considered passing the house bill to
remove any question of the legality
of the ratification measure passed
earlier in the session.
Neal, Sears and Chappell opposed
the committee's action, claiming
that .the senate would be burning all
of its bridges, should an efffort be
made to attack the legality of the or
iginal ratification measure which was
introduced in the senate, and which
passed both branches of the legis
lature. The committee majority took the
view that the ratification bill as or
iginally passed was legal.

COUNCIL VOTES
TO ESTABLISH
CITY MARKET
(Continued From Page One.)
Omaha will patronize a municipal
market.
"It involves car fare and even then
said. ...
He cited various cities where great
sums have been spent on public mar
kets which have bscen abandoned
later.
J. VV. Kare!, a gardener at Sixty-
second and Center streets, told of
the labor and expense involved in
producing vegetables and said the
gardener is too busy to spend any
time retailing his vegetables. He
must sell the whole load and get
back to work.
James Walsh, who has lived in
Seattle, declared that the public mar
kets there are great successes and
the best advertisement Seattle has.
H. W. Evans also spoke glowingly
of the success of the markets on the
Pacific coast. '
Harry Fischer presented the oppo
site view and pointed out that the
Pacific coast markets can be open
the year round while in Omaha there
are only hve months during which
produce is raised.
Middleman is Necessary.
Charles Seseman, 6202 North Six
teenth street, a gardener, declared
that the middle man is as necessary
as the producer or consumer and
that the goods "won't sell them
selves."
The gardeners also pointed out
that if they are compelled to go to
the municipal market to sell their
goods and if they fail to sell out
there it will be too late in the day to
sell in the wholesale market which
has usually cleaned up its day's busi
ness by 8 o'clock in the morning.
Under the resolution, as passed;
the city planning board will im
mediately draw plans for a building
with open sides and the old buildings
now on the site, northwest corjier
of Fifteenth and Davenport streets,
will be removed.'
It is expected, to have the market
place ready for operation by spring.

Meet to Spread Ideas,
Thinks London Mail
London, Jan., 28. The question
of participation in the Princess

cussed by the Moscow central exe
cutive Soviets according to a Hel
singfors dispatch to The Mail.

that, tinder the soviet constitution
any decision concerning war or
peace can be reached only by a con
gress of all Soviets. He adds:

statement from the bolshevists, the
soviet government will be inclined
to send delegates to the Princes
Islands in the hope of transform
ing the conference into a platform
for the megaphoning of bolshevist
ideas all over the world.
