Convention Accepts Provision
For New Constitution Ad
journs Until Thursday
Of Next Week.
Lincoln. Feb. 27. (Spcciai.) The
constitutional convention took a re
cess Friday until next Thursday in
order that the members might ro
home and look after business which
P. A. Barrowi, Correspondent
it is generally important to be taken
care ot Alarcn i.
Most of the morning before ad
journment was taken in a discussion
of the problems of workmen's com
pensation. The industrial relations
committee imlefnitcly postponed a
proposal of Donohoe of Douglas,
bringing in its place to the floor
the following ameudment:
"Laws may be passed establish
ing a plan of compulsory workmen'!
compensation, administered by the
state, but chargeable to the indus
tries affected." , '
The original proposition intro
duced by Donohoe provided that:
"Liability for negligence as under
i the common law, snail not ue
abridged."
i Donohoe attempted to resurrect
his former proposal, but was un
successful and the proposal of the
committee stands to be taken up
when the convention comes back for
business.
A proposal that is the result of
conditions surrounding the failure of
the Decatur State bank gives the
legislature authority over legislation
as to priority of claims. Creditors
of the Decatur bank claimed priority
right to the assets of the bank. The
committee on insurance recommends
this proposal out for adoption.

Further Indications
Of Democratic Split
Revealed by Thomas
Lincoln, Feb. 27. (Special.) An
other sign of the approaching split
in the ranks of the democratic party
of Nebraska was sceii here in the
announcement of J. J. Thomas of
Seward, a member of the Bryan
slate of delegates-at-large for the
national convention, that he would
support Senator Hitchcock for pres
ident. '"I am for Senator Hitchcock
for-thc democratic presidential nom
ination and I will go to Sail Fran
cisco, if I am elected a dclcgateto
work in his interest."
Continuing. Mr. Thomas said: "I
am opposed to V. H. Thompson for
democratic national committeeman
and shall support Arthur Mullen's
candidacy."
Mr. Thomas has a position on the
the slate of delegates picked by the
Bryan wing of the democratic party
in Nebraska and petitions to place
his name on the primary ballot as
a delegate are being circulated. His
statement today indicates that some
body erred in making up this list.

JEFFERIS SAYS
ANDERSON BILL
TO BE MODIFIED
Receives Dozens of Telegrams
On Packing Measure
Omahans to Be Given
A Hearing.
By E. C. SNYDER.
SpK-ial rormiifliulcot ot The lice.
Washington, Feb. 27. (Special
Telegram.) Congressman Jefferis
received dozens of telegrams Fri
day froii persons and firms inter
ested in legislation looking to the
regulation of the packers and stock
yards industry, generally in opposi
tion to the Anderson hill, hearings
on which are now under way by the
house committee on agriculture.
The Omaha Live Stock Exchange
aiidjothers have asl;d that a hear
ing be granted them before final ac
tion is taken by the committee on
the bill, and these requests Mr. Jef
feris has turned over to Representa
tive John W. Rainey of Illinois, a
member of the committee, who is
apportioning time to Opponents and
those in favor of modifications.
Mr. Rainey informed Mr. Jefferis
that Secretary Stryker of the Omaha
Love Stock Exchange and other
parties would be advised by wire
when they will be heard.
In this connection, the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce wired Con
gressman Jefferis that the organiza
tion was not opposed to reasonable
regulation of the packing and live
stock interests but that it is the be
lief of the chamber that extreme
measures are -unnecessary and in
jurious. It urges opposition to the
Anderson bill in its present form.
Jefferis wired the Chamber of Com
merce and others interested that in
all probability some compromise
measure would he reported with the
c'rastic features of the Anderson bill
eliminated'
School Census Fatal to
Dreams of Wedded Bliss
Of Runaway Children
O'Neill. Neb.. Feb. 27. (Special.)
Little Miss Emma Northrop and
Floyd Greenfield, children of prom
inent families of Stuart, Neb., played
hookey from . high school Wednes
day afternoon and came to O'Neill
to be married. A heartless county
judge and the cold statistics of the
school census, on file in the office of
County Superintendent Donohoe,
spoiled their dreams of wedded bliss
and they returned to Stuart on the
evening trajn, to grow older.
The young couple arrived ?n
O'Neill at 2. They misunderstood
directions given and strolled into
the residence or" Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Stout, where they insisted
that Mrs. Stout issue them a mar
riage license. Being set upon the
right course they at least reached
County Judge Malone and informed
that dignitary of the nature of their
mission. Calling to his clerk to
make out some papers the judgi
strolled across to the office of the
county superintendent where he
took a look at the school census of
Stuart. Little Miss Northrop was
sweet 16 and the would-be head of
the proposed union 18. Kindly but
firmly his honor broke the news,
and sadly they took the evening
train tor home.

Century Farmer, protesting against
