Advocates of f
Forestry Bill
.To Havo Hearing
Measure Introduced at Re
quest of Bee Rcprescnta
live Provides Bureau to
Ot crsce Care of Timber.
(By Staff farrwpondent.)
, Lincoln, March 1. (Special Tele
gram.) The senate committee on
agriculture will give a hearing on
Wednesday afternoon to advocates
of Senate File No. 272, the state
forestry bi!f introduced by Senator
Cooper -of Douglas. It is expected
that tie forester iii charge of the
Imited States' forestry bureau at
Denver, his deputy on duty at the
llalsey, reserve in Nebraska, Dr.
George E. Condra of the University
of Nebraska and others will be pres
ent. r
The bill .was introduced by Sena
tor Cooper at request of T. W. Mc
Cullough of The Omaha Bee, who
has long been actively interested in
the subject of forestry. It provides
for the creation of a bureau of for
estry, to have charge of the general
work of caring for all standing or
growing timber in Nebraska, in
cluding orchards, parks and the like,
but with no power given the for
estej to interefere with private own
ers in the management or disposition
of their orchards.'mpves or planta
tions. . To Enoourage Forestation.
The; principal purpose of the bill
is to encourage the propagation and
nurture of forest timber, having in
view the forestation of the sandhill
tracts or such other land as by na
ture is unlit or ' unsuitable for gen
eral agricultural purposes, but
which will bear timber. Actual ex
periments have proved that the so
called "sandhill region of Ne
braska will grow pine trees; a beau
tiful forest at Halsey having fol
lowed the efforts of the United States
government. Settlers in the section
have met with unvarying success in
the propagation of the pines and ce
dars they have planted, and many
fine stands of timber are now seen
where only the barren stretch of
sand wasmioted a' few years ago.
State Will Profit.
., Colonel. McCullough believes that
the state will profit greatly in an
other generation through the foresta
tion of the barren tracts now ne
glected; that 50 years from now the
state will derive revenue from the
sale of timber from its own re
serves, and that with a little care
this crop may be made perpetual
and land that is now all but worth-'
less will oc made a source of in-!
come to the state. He further con
templates the possibility of Nebras
ka's orcharding being extended in i
the future, when it will derive much j
benefit through the proposed bureau. !

A canvass of the voters of the
town of Milford, O., indicates that
"Aunt Dolly" Spencer, the town's
most popular woman, will be elected
mayor unanimously, there being no
opposition to her. "Aunt Dolly," as
she is known to everyone in Mil
ford, will be the first woman mayor
of any city, town or village in Ohio.
She has been chief of police of Mil
ford for some time and her record
for fairness, kindness and belief in
the Golden Rule has made her be-,
loved by everyone. N Milford has had
less use for its jail during her term
of office than at any other time on

civious carriage," lost 8 to 14 on
a rising vote in the committee of

senate that the present law covers
the ground.
If jewelers want a lien on watches
or)thcr gems left for repairs, they
must do as other institutions do
advertise the goods and sell them at
auction. That's why the senate killed
Senator Warners bill, b. r. No. 34Z,

vately at the expiration of six
months.

laws and that persons sentenced to.
jail or given,, heavy fines for viola
tion of alcoholic revenue laws have
been convicted, illegally.
Mr. Maguey says prisoners may
not be tried again undner the Vol

not legally be put in jeopardy twice.'

Epperson to Submit
Anti-Trust Practice
Amendments in Bill
Lincoln, March 1. (Special.)
Landlords and alleged trust practices
in cutting prices to stamp out com
petition will be handled by the pro
posed industrial commission under
amendments prepared to the bill to
day by Representatives Epperson,
the author.
While Epperson's bill has never
emerged from the judiciary ' committee..-he
still has Jiopes that some ac

ted; the landlord;- and j .anti-trut
amendments to the committee, today.
"The anti-trust aittendment would
make it impossible for' a big con

other, as creamery corporations and
oil companies are wont to do when
independent companies attempt to
compete," Epperson said. "I make
allowance for the difference in freight

Epperson s bill provides for a
commission of three men to handle

much the same as the Kansas in

One of Charges

Is Eliminated
Cashier of Aurora Bank and

State in Charles W.
Wentz Trial.
York, Neb., March 1. (Special
Telegram.) Just bcfre adjourn
ment this evening, Judge Corcoran,
who is presiding in the Charles V.
VVentz case, being tried in York
county on change of venue from
Hamilton county, eliminated count
four of the' information' which
charges Wrentz with publishing false
statements of the condition of the
American State bank of. Aurora, of
which Wentz was vice president be
fore it went into the hands of the
receiver.
The proof of publicatio nof the
statement shows it was signed by
James Schoonove, cashier,, and at
tested by C. W Wentz. This leaves
only two counts in the information.
The prosecuting attorneys announced
tonight that with the reading to the
jury of the exhibits admitted in evi
dence, the stye would rest its case.
A number of witnesses were placed
on the stand by the state, among
them James Schoonove, easier of
the hank.
Mr. Schoonove testified that certi
ficate of deposit No. 366, for $5,000,
the storm center of the whole case,
never had been entered on the books
o fthe bank and that the first he
knew of the certificate was when it
was filed with the receiver by the Na
tional American Insurance company
as a claim against the bank. He said
that the bank never had received any
mony or other consideration for the
(certificate.
Bank Examiner Urown testified
that he did not know of .certificate
No. 366 at thetime he examined the
bank, just before it was closed, as
there was no record of it m the
books.
A. F. Ackernian. receiver ot the
bank, testified there was no record
of the certilcate in the bank books
and that the first he knew of its ex
istence was when it was tiled as a
claim against the bank by the Na
tional American Insurance company
and that he had resisted the payment
of the claim.
The case is attracting consider
able attention and probably will con
tinue for another.Jav at least.
