4 TITS BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, -1913. Nebraska JENKINS SAVES PET BILL FR0L1 POSTPONEMENT Asks for Appropriation of $15,000, to Establish Fish andjjame Preserve; Use Birds to Fight Hoppers. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 31. Springmg the -theory that a game preserve for the propagation of Chinese and Hungarian pheasants, quails, prairie chickens and Rrouse would go far to ward the abatement of a loss to the farm crops of Nebraska by the dep- ledations of grasshoppers, amount ing to an average sum of $2,500,000 per annnin, Representative Jenkins rescued his pet bill from indefinite postponement today. Jenkins is ask'ng for an appropria tion of $15,000 for the establishment of a fish hatchery and game preserve in Dundy county. The committee of finances, ways and means recommended that his bill be indefinitely postponed, and speaking in favor of the measure and asking that the house override the committee he made the plea that' as game and insectivorous birds de crease the loss of wealth by grass hopper depreciations increase. Tracewell, speaking on the meas ure, said the game preserve on the Fort Niobrara reservation, near Val entine, had been a failure and that the experiment of trying to propa gate Chinese and. Hungarian pheas ants was not a success. Reynolds of Douglas, favored the bill, taying that $15,000 was amall mount to gamble as an insurance premium that would save crop dep redations by grasshoppers amount ing to over $4,000,000 per year as shown by recent stat:stics. The bill was recommended for passage by an almost unanimous vote of the house. Kills Self When Discharge from Service Is Delayed Sheridan, Wyo., Jan. 31. (Spe cial.)

BOWEN, President Motion to Indefinitely Post pone Measure Is Lost; Re ferred to Committee for Further Consideration. By a Staff Correspondent Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 31. Jerry Howard's anti-nepotism bill, House Roll No. 17, is finding pretty hard sledding and its author is having the time of his life in getting it be fore the house for engrossment and third reading. In the morning session, Foster of Douglas moved that the bill be re committed to the committee oi privileges and elections for further consideration. Howard was im mediately on his feet and made a substitute motion that the biil be engrossed for third reading. Mears of Wayne moved a substi tute to the substitute that the bill be indefinitely postponed. This pre cipitated debate in which those op posed to the Howard bill stated that their principal objections were that Si tae bill had several unfair provisions. Jeary of Lancaster said that the bill would prohibit, the employment of a sheriff's wife as matron of a jail and would interfere with the employment of wives of executives of some of the state instiutions in the capacity of matrons, where such employment would be in the inter est of counties and the state and would not violate the spirit of a fair anti-nepotism bill. - It was called to the attention of the house that Foster of Douglas had introduced a bill that was a strong measure and yet was fair in all respects. The motion to postpone the bill indefinitely was lost, but the motion to recommit it to the committee for further consideration carried by a practically unanimous vote. Members all declared they were against nepotism where abuses could be created but they favor a bill that will make exceptions' that will not debar wives of sheriffs or superintendents of state institutions from having their wives act as matrons.

BANKING BILL Given BIG DOSE OF CHLOROFORM In Favor of Restraining Banks to Legitimate Activities Would Stop Robbing of Estates on Side. By a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Jan. 31. A huge dose of chloroform was administered to the bill, introduced by A. O. Smith of Rbck county and knqwn as House Roll No. 222, despite its cabalistic combination of numbers, in the aft ernoon session of the house. In the killing of the 'bill the per sons opposed to it put themselves on , record as favoring a policy to restrain banks' to their legitimate activities and not i permit them to wander into other ventures far afield from banking. ' ' The bill was. fo.r the purpose of clothing; state bank corporations with the power of acting as adminis trator, executor, guardian, curator or conservator of the estates of de ceased persons, insane persons or habitual drunkards when so ap pointed by a court of record. Jeary of Lancaster scented a dan gerous power in the bill and moved that it be indefinitely postponed. Good of Nemaha stated that bankers already exercise these func tions and he could see no evil in ex tending the power to the corpora tion as well as to a natural person, especially as a bank was so strongly capitalized and financially responsi ble. Byrum of Franklin said the banks were becoming oppressive in his section of the country by their en croachments into other lines of bus iness. "It is their plan in this, as in many other instances," said he, "to get hold of other people's money and use it without paying interest." Good said if banks became admin istrators they would have, to employ attorneys. "If we are going to let the banker get a grab at estates, and he is going to let the lawyer get a grab, too. what will be left?" inquired Hardin of Harlan. " Wildman, of York, interjected: "We are centralizing power in the hands of the banks. Trust compa nies are already acting as administra tors. Why not let the corporations do our business ,for us altogether? It is time to call a halt," . "Banks are into everything up our way, from dog fights to real es tate," said Staats, of Dodge. Willing to Be Liberal "I am willing to be liberal in this matter." said Rodman of Kimball. "I am willing to permit all corpora tions to have the powers of. admin istrators and executors. For in stance the non-partisan league is in corporated. Let us clothe it with this power." Fults of Furnas cited the case of where a banker in Gage county, a short time ago, had become an exe cutor of an estate in which there was an item of a large sum of cash on time deposit, drawing 4 per cent. The banker checked out the money and placed it on open account, thus stopping the interest accumulations. "Let us stop them from the op portunity ofrobbing estates on the side," said he. The motion to postpone the bill indefinitely won by 41 for and 16 against. Will Invite Major General Wood to Make Address at Lincoln From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln.
