' CONSTITUTION
bentiment Favors Bringing
Old Document Up to Date,
Rather Than, New
One. :
Lincoln, Nov. 23. (Special.)
Just what will happen when the con
stitutional convention meets is a
-question which is being discussed
whenever men meet hese days, and
as the time approaches for that
body to get together it is becoming
tvi'dent that there is a pretty strong
jentinient in favor, of not changing
the old constitution very much, sim
ply bringing it up to date. .
There are some things, however,
vhich appear to meet with the ap
proval of many and among them are
the following:
Would Raise Salaries.
That the salaries of state officers
Should be raised to compare more
to the cost of living at the present
tune, l iiey contend that since tne
salaries set by the constitution of
1875. that the cost of living has
gone up 200, or 300 per cent and
that salaries should he made to cor
respond. There is quite a sentiment
in favor of raising the salary of gov
ernor from $2,500 a year to at least
$7,500,-as that is the pay of a con
pressman, and the office of governor
is a more important one. The sala
ries of other state .officers should
correspond.
Another change that appears to
meet with a great deal of favor is
that of making the duties of the
lieutenant governor more of a state
wide character. Thev contend that
besides being president of the sen-

ance of the time, sNfiartof the duties
of the governor, .like the issuing of
notarial and other confmissions, is
suing of requisitions and presiding
&t hearings in. connection with the
janie, transferring to him some of
the work of other offices which
are now duplicated and making him
a part of the state machinery.
May Divide Districts
' Another wlould divide up the sen
atorial and representative districts
in counties which elect more than

one member of the legislature. For
instance, Douglas county has. five
senatprs and 12 representatives
elected as a whole from that coun
ty. The new plan would be to di
vide" that county into five senatorial
and 12 representative districts, al
lowing each district to elect its sen
ator and representative, thus giving
sections of the county which have
had little voice in former elections
of these officers a better chance for
representation. This would also
apply to Lancaster, Dodge, Sanders,
Gage, Hall, Custer, Buffalo repre
sentative districts and Lancaster
senatorial district.
There js also a sentiment favoring
the changing of the . secretaries
under the code bKl and placing the
departments under the state offi
cers, but continuing the general sys
tem of the code bill, but doing away
with the secretaries' making the
chief clerk in each office the effic
iency man and making the state
officers a cabinet to the governor
which should handle all matters of
state-wide importance.
The sentiment which first ap
peared to prevail along the lines of
the short ballot, electing the gov
ernor and lieutenant governor and
then having 'the governor appoint
the rest of the state officers, does
not appear to have gained much
ground, although there are some
advocates of the plan among the
delegates. .
One-House Legislature.
The sentiment for a one-house
legislature has some advocates, but'
it docs not appear tp be very popu
lar, neither does the sentiment for
cutting down the membership of
each house appear to be very strong.
There is a strong sentiment among
attorneys that' something ought to
be done to take the load off the su
preme court,,which comes to it from
lower courts involving minor mat
ters,. Much of the time of the court
is taken up with cases in which less
than $100 is' involved. There ap
pears to be some sentiment to have
the supreme court handle only large
cases. Just how'this could be" done
Uas not yet been shown.
There is some advocacy of a plan
to elect members of the legislature
in different years, one-half selected
or.f year and the other half the fol
lowing two years. This, of course,
would mean a four-year term unless
the state went back to yearly elec
tions. In connection with this plan
it has also been suggested that the
state officers should be selected for
four years also.
New Legislature Plan.
Another plan is for the legislature
not to meet until a year after the
election. As the matter is now, state
officers, and a legislature all come in
at the same time.' In many instances
it maybe an entirely new set of state
officers, unfamiliar with their duties
and unfamiliar with state affairs. A
majority of the legislature may also
be unfamiliar with the needs of the
state. The suggestion is that if the
legislature would meet a year later
the state officers would Have become
familiar with the business needs of
the statev and could better present
their claims to the legislature.
In connection with this plan it is
suggested that the legislature elected
in 1920, for instance, should not
convene until December 1 of the fol
lowing year. It could then organize,
appoint its committees, introduce its
hills and at the end of the 20-day
limit for the introduction of bills,
adjourn for 30 days. During the re
cess the members would have time
to go carefully over the bills, con
sult with their constituents over
matters important fo them, prepare
their amendments and send to the
chairman of each committee and
then a week before the reconvening
of the session the committees could
meet and work out theills ready for
the legislature when it convened.
This would give the members of the
committee more time and prevent
congestion of work at a time when

Secretary Antles
Thinks Omaha Police
Promised Immunity
Lincoln, Nov, 23. -(Special.)
"We must be square with the crim
inals if we expect the criminals to
be square with us," is the way H. A..
Antles, secretary and head of the De
partment of Public Welfare, looks
upon the recent paroling of L. C
Jones and William McKeftna, auto
andits, ..who were sent up from
Douglas county in connection with
the stealing of a number of cars in
Omaha. '
Secretary Antles is of-the opinion
that the Omaha police promised
them immunity if they would testify
against Neal and Katelman, the men
who were supposed to be the guiding
hand in a gang of auto thieves op
erating., in andut of Omaha. The
men gave the testimony necessary to
convict Neal and Katelman. but
Chief Eberstein of the police force.
or Uinaha denies that anything in
the way of clemency was promised
the men.
"I simply carried out in paroling
these men what I believe the Omaha
police promised them and as far as
I am concerned I have carried o,ut
what I believe was the right thing
to do under the circumstances," says
Mr. Ajitles.
the presence of the members was
needed . on the floor of the house.
Meeting of the committees could
still be had whenever necessary dur
ing the balance of the session. It is
urged that such a plan would give
the members a better chance to be
come acquainted with the contem
plated legislation.

IT PLEASES
Beatrice, Neb., Nov. 23. (Special
Telegram.) Fire starting in the
basement of the Drake block, a
three-story brick building at Sixth
and Court streets, early Sunday
morning gutted the structure and
caused a property loss estimated at
?!30,000. The -fire was discovered
about 2:30 o'clock and slowly
worked its way up through the
center of the Drake block, making
it a difficult one to fight. All the fire
fighting facilities of Beatrice were
used on the burning structure, and
after a hard fight of about four hours
the firemen succeeded in confining
the fire in . the building where it
started. The stock of the Drew
Clothing company, valued at $50,000;
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany office, George Smith's cigar
store on the first floor and the
Beatrice club on the second floor
were destroyed. The third floor was
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Ziegenhain, Mr. and Mrs. John Sam
sel and Mrs. Clark. They escaped
from the burning building in safety
but lost everything thejr possessed.
Two Barns Burn.
- Soon after the fire was discovered
in the Drake block the barns of
W. W. Scott and E S. Stevens took
fire and were destroyed, Mr. Scott's
residence was damaged to the ex
tent of $1,000. It is thought the fire
was of incendiary origin, starting
as it did at the same time Jhe Drake
block was burning. The Drake,
block is situated just across the
street east of the Paddock hotel,
which was destroyed by fire last
Atigust and nothing remains but the
walls of the building. For a time
the Y. M. C. A. building fo the east
and the Allen block on the north
were threatened with destruction.
Both were damaged. The total loss
is estimated at about $130,000 divid
ed as follows:

' The Well Known French Journalist.
Paris, Nov. 23. In a boulevard
theater last night at the most pa
thetic part a woman late for the per
formance stalked along to the stalls.
My interest in the play vanished in
a flash, my eyes turned away from
the stage and remained fascinated,
glued upon her. She was a sight in
deed. . There she stood, draped in a
heavy fur cape, neck, arms, bare
back to the waist in guise of loin
cloth; gold circlets. dangled from
ears to shoulders, heavy gold anklets
dangled on her feet. All this is
nothing unusual is it? We have
seen it often enough. ,
But her blonde hair dress, erect,
like a sugar loaf, strangely pinked
out with, ribbons and feathers,
framed the weirdest contrast of a
dusky face wavering between nigger
brown and red Indian. Overcome, I
turned toward my friend.

"What strange race is that?" I
asked. "Such a skin,Avith fair hair,

FRANCE WARNS
GIRLS AGAINST
YELLOW PERIL
Much-Married Chinese From
British War Force Take
French Wives Mother-
in-Law Bogey Raised.
Paris, Nov. 23. France is facing
the yellow peril. The peril is so
scute that M. Pams, minister of the
interior, has issued an official con
munique warning French girls not to
marry Chinese.
It seems that the partner-seeking
Celestials, are A. W. O. L.s from the
coolie labor battalions that the Brit
ishexpeditionary force imported to
France to build roads and to do most
every other kiird of military wor,k,
except that of the front line trenches.
The wily Mongols have slipped
out of their British uniforms and
into "cits," or castoff French or
American, uniforms, and have been
settling down in various cities, towns
and villages of France.
Some have gone into bootlegging
opium, others have been lucratively
engaged in rounding up silver coins
to melt down as bullion -and some
have become farmers or- tradesmen.
Keen for French Wife. .
All have shown a keen desire to
marry a French girl 6r two, jn order
to have a silent business partner,
and some one to keep the home fires
burning while they are out garner
ing the lucre.
M. Pams receives reports from all
over France on marriages, deaths,
and births, and was staggered at the
item among the weddings which
showed that 250 French girls had
married Chinese. He caused an in
vestigation to be made by the secret
French police, who, as every reader
of detective stories knows, are the
aitutest persons in the world, and
found that most of the Chinese who
hSd espoused fair French maidens,
already had anywhere from a dozen
fo a score of wives back in dear old
China.
Mothers-in-Lawf Warning.
So M. Pams indited his commun
ique warning all French women
that such was the case, and also
dealing liberally and freely with the
Chinese inothers-in-law question. It
appears that Chinese mother-in-law
are the deadliest of tha whole hu
man species, according to M. Pams,
owing to the well known, proclivi
ties of the celestials of worshiping
their ancestors.
4j,
retreat they started again. Que
vo.ulez-vous? Doesn't the old French
proverb say: 'You must suffer to be
beautiful?'"
I gazed at the weird, painted doll,
and whispered doubtfully: "Beau

After all, they say madness is
sometimes sublime.
MEXICAN ANSWER
TO JENKINS' NOTE
EXPECTED TODAY
U. S. Has Requested Immedi
ate Release of American Con
sular Agent at Puebla.
Washington, Nov. 23. The answer
of the Mexican government to the
sharp note demanding the immediate
release of William O. Jenkins, Amer
ican consular agent at Puebla, prob
ably will be delivered to the State
department tomorrow. v
A long dispatch bearing on the
enkins case, it was learned tonight.
has been received at the Mexican
embassy and was being deciphered
today for presentation to the govern
ment. While authoritative informa
tion as to the attitude of the Mexican
government was lacking all indica
tions here pointed to a technical re
fusal to order the release of Jenkins.
Since his arrest, it was learned, ad
ditional charges against tho(Tncr
ican official have pecn formulated,
based upon alleged evidence that he
actively assisted persons in' rebelling
against the Carranza government.
Payment of a large sum of money to
the rebels which was used by them to
purchase munitions and acting in col
lusion with rebel, leaders arc said tp
be specific "counts" in the new in
dictments. Hint of Mexico's Position.
What was regarded as a hint of
Mexico's position in the .Jenkins
case was noted in an article pub
lished by the' Mexican newspaper,
Excelsior, a copy of which reached
Washington today. The paper stat
ed that. Jenkins' second arrest was
based upon charges that he actively
assisted the rebels.
The "certain sum of mqney" of
which Jenkins is accused of deliver
ing to the rebels consisted of the
300,000 pesos he was compelled to
pay as ransom to Frederico Cor
doba, the rebel whose forces kid
naped him. The collusion charge is
bas'ed upon the fact that . Jenkins
agreed to pay the rebel leader the
ransom in order to save his life and
gain his liberty.
Utmost Secrecy Used.
Contrary to cuslo'm in Mexican
courts the proceedings in the Jenk
ins case on the occasion of his sec
ond arrest were marked with the
utmost secrecy. Jenkins was sum
moned to. court where he was placed
under arrest. His plea for bail was
refused by Judge Gonzales France
on account of the "gravity of the
offense." In every particular the
proceedings were secret and court
attaches were warned that they
would be dismissed and otherwise
punished if any facts relating to the
case reached the public.
Officials here regard the nature of
the new charges against Jenkins as
an effort on the part of the Mexican
government to take the case out of
the hands of the Puebla state au

Railroad Brotherhoods
Meet in Cleveland to
Talk Wages Today
Cleveland, hio, Nov. 23. Ap
proximately S00 general chairmen
Lof the four brotherhoods, engineers,;
firemen, trainmen and conductors
will meet here Monday in response
to a call from four chief executives
of the organizations to consider the
offer of Walker D. Hines, director
general of the railroads, granting
time and a half for overtime in slow
freight service and a standard rule
for crews held away from home
terminals beyond a given period.
No strike vote will be taken and
the question of affiliation with a po
litical labor party or approving the
Plumb plan for handling the rail
roads is not to be presented to the
convention, according to W. G.
Lee, president of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen.
Whatever action the convention
takes on the director general's offer
will have no bearing on the brother
hood's request for a general wage
increase, Mr. Lee said. .

Twenty-five million boxes of Cas
carets were sold last year to folks
who wanted relief from Constipa
tion, Biliousness, Indigestion,
Gases, Colds and Sick Headache
without being shaken up and sick
ened all the net day. Cascarets
work while you sleep, removing the
toxins, poisons and sour, indigesti
ble waste without griping or incon
venience.. Cascarets regulate by
stimulating the liver and strength
ening the bowel muscles. They
never weaken or upset you like
Salts, Calomel or violent Pills. Cas
carets cost so little, too.

'MY RELATIVES
GAME UNEASY
SAYS MRS. ORR
Couldn't Walk a Block With
out Resting Now Well
and Strong. ,
"Five years of nervous indigestion
pulled me down so I could not walk
a block without resting, but since
taking Tanlac I can walk twenty
blocks without ahy trouble," said
Mrs; H. E. Orr, of 911 Harrison,
street, Kansas City, Mo., to a Tan
lac representative the other day.
"I haven'-t a trace of the old
trouble left," continued Mrs. Orr. .
"I don't believe anybody suffered
more than I did for five years be
fore I began taking Tanlac. I be
came so weak I could not do my
housework and suffered from per
fectly terrible headaches nearly all
the time. I had no appetite what
ever, and even the sight of any
thing to efct would often make me
sick. I was subject to dizzy spells
so bad that sometimes I couldn't
keep on my feet. I was constipated
chronically and had to take a laxa
tive nearly every day. Everything
I ate would sour on my stomach
and the gas would make my heart
flutter, so I thought I had heart
trouble. I tried every medicine sug
gested and spent hundreds of dollars
trying to get well, but nothing gave
me any relief until I took Tanlac.
"I had not taken more than half
a bottle of Tanlac before I could
tell it was doing me a lot of good.
My appetite picked up and I began
to eat without having that terrible
indigestion. Now, after taking four
bottles, mv health is splendid and I
haven't felt so well in twenty years.,
ine neaciaches, dizziness and con
stipation are entirely gone. I ant
eating anything I want and I never
have the fluttering of the heart any
more. I am so strong that I do ail
the housework for my nine-room
house, even to washing and iron
ing. My relatives, who did not think
I would live long, are amazed at
the change in my condition. I have
also gained ten pounds in weight.
"I think Tanlac is unequalled as a
system builder and 1 am more than
glad to recommend it."
Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all
