progressive. 1
The committee slate will be pre
sented at a conference of republican
senators next Monday before con
vening of the senate.' The progres
sive! at that time are expected to
'take final action in opposition to
Senators Penrose and Warren, but
it was reported tonight that the fac
tional troubles would be settled in
the conference and probably not
reach the senate floor.

Torn O'Connor and Bob Smith
Exchange a Pew Compliments
Clerk of the District. Court Says County Commissioner
Might Qualify As a Janitor, and That Official In
Turn Makes Some Remarks." "
County - 5 Commissioner "Tom"
O'Connor and Clerk of the District
Court "Bob" Smith exchanged "left
handed compliments" yesterday over
the commitment of Albert Swift to
the insane asylum at Lincoln for one
day.
A bill for $9.85 came in to the
county commissioners for the ex
pense of taking Mr. Swift to Lin
coln. Mr. O'Connor objected to
paying this out to send a man to the
asylum for one day merely as a
matter of form.
When told of this. Mr. Smith
spoke in part as follows: ' .
'"Tom O'Connor gets $2,400 a
year and,I don't think he's worth
$50 a year. He might be all right
as a janitor, provided lie had some
one to supervise his work, but that
would be about the best I would
hand him."
Mr. O'Connor, when told of the
vitrified bouquet which Mr. Smith
had handed him, replied in part as
follows:
"Smith has himself considerably
overestimated. I would revise his
value downward very much if I had
my way. It will cost the county
not only $9.85 to send this man to
Lincoln, but about $20 to convene
that insanity board when it acted
on the ease."
Swift is now in the county jail
serving a 30-day sentence which
will expire soon. He escaped from
the insane' asylum at Lincoln a few
weeks ago. He was in the dipso
mania ward. Coming to Omaha, he
went to work and earned about $300
in two weeks as an advertising sales
man.' .
"Then he got hold of some boot
leg whisky and was arrested for
drunkenness," said Mr. Smith. "His
aged mother came to see me. She
was anxious to get him off. With
the exception of the one slip he had
been doing well since he escaped
from the asylum. Still, we felt the
discipline-of the insane asylum must
be upheld. So we ordered him re
turned with the recommendation
that he be released after one day.
That is what we are using the $9.85
for. You are certainly at liberty
to publish my idea of the value of
Mr. O'Connor's services."

Last Moment Changes.
Under the reported agreement,
Senator Page, instead of Senator
Poindexter, would head the naval
committee by reason of strict ad
herence to the seniority rule. Last
moment changes also placed Sena
tor Smoot at the head of the public
land committee instead of the ap
propriations, for which he had been
mentioned.
Three new members of the foreign
relations committee reported chosen
were Senators New, Indiana; Hard
ing, Ohio, and Moses, New Hamp
shire. The committee on committees de
cided to hold a majority of three re
publicans on the finance, interstate
commerce, foreign relations and
elections committees, but in compli
ance with requests from the demo
cratic conference, agreed to reduce
the republican majority on other
committees to two members.
By ruling today that committees
of the "last senate continued with
authority to act until new commit
tees were organized, Vice President
Marshall was considered by experts
on senate procedure to have has
tened the work of the committee on
committees. The ruling also was
expected to have a bearing on the
controversy between the progressive
and regular groups of republican
senators in that it would tend to
hasten a settlement.
