Bill Favored to
"Cut Out" Crime
Among Children
"Clinical Psychologist" Can
Be Employed to Recommend
Treatment for Defective
Boys and Girls.
' Lincoln. April 2. (Special.)
After voting to censor moving pic
tures to keep the child mind of Ne
braska clean by creating a salaried
commission, the lower house voted
today to give brain surgeons, "clin
ical psychologists" and others, $20,
000 to literally cut the nasty thoughts
out. of the child mind, if it can't be
accomplished in any other way.
The bill w.hich authorizes the em
ployment of a "clinical psycholo
gist" and others is House Roll 84,
one of the child welfare measures.
Originally the bill called for a bu
reau of juvenile research which was
to work on a salary under the board
of control.
Amendments Passed.
Representatives Byrum and Epper
son succeeded in getting amendments
adopted which cut the salary and
also the bureau out of the bill and
left the "clinical psychologist" at the
mercy of the board of control. The
board of control has power to ar
point the "clinical psychologist" and
fix his, or her, salary.
The mission of the newly-created
officer will be to examine defective
children with criminal tendencies and
recommend operations or whatever
treatment believed necessary to cor
rect the child's downward path. It
takes the consent of the parents, or
guardians, before an operation can
be performed.
The "clinical psychologist" will
deal mainly with children in state
institutions, but county boards are
authorized to seid bad boys and bad
girls to the "psychologist" for ex
amination and treatment.
Goetfto Third Reading.
The bill was advanced to third
reading by a vote of 37 to 19.
Representative J. Reid Green,
sponsor for the bill, declared that
the bill, even with the amendments
adopted, would, if passed, cost the
state $20,000.
During debate "Alfalfa John" read
the recent press dispatch from
Houston, Tex., telling about a youth
who underwent an operation for
criminal tendencies and returned to
health and moral stamina, excepting
that the first day after he was able
to get out he began stealing again.

Halt High Rent War
Two Couples Found Living
On Island Near Fremont
Arrested Sheriff Is
Ideal Landlord.
Fremont, Neb, April 2. (Special
Telegram.) Where rent was free
and there was no cantangerous land
lords to demand fees, the police
found Mabel Nelson. 15; Beatrice
Snavely, 18; L. D. McLaughlin. 20,
and Lee Stewart. 21, living together
in a small cabin on an island in the
Platte river, southwest of Fremont,
going and coming as they saw fit, with
no one in the vicinity to make com
ment or to disturb their existence.
The "camping party" was arrested
and the men sentenced to 30 days in
jail. The young Nelson girl was
sent to the Geneva reform school,
this being- her third appearance in
pclice circles. The Snavely girl "was
charged with disorderly conduct to
which she pleaded guilty without
hesitation. She stated that she had
been married twice during her young
life and both ventures had proved
unsuccessful! Her first husband
died shortly after their marriage and
when her second husband tried to
shact her. they separated, the woman
asserted. She did not know whether
her husband had been divorced. She
was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but
the sentence was suspended on con
dition the girl's mother in York
would send her enough money to get
out of town.
The girl explained that she lived
with men on the island because she
had no other home and was unable to
find work. The Nelson girl sobbed
she "never had a chance," and her
parents failed to treat her right, when
asked why she took up her abode on
the inland.

Presence of Lobby
Reason for Delay in .
Reed-Mears Measure
Lincoln, April 2. (Special. )--The
presence of a corporation lobby in the
lower house aroused suspicion in the
mind of Representative George Snow
and caused delay in action on H. R.
369, which provides for an alleged
equitable occupation tax on foreign
and domestic corporations. The bill
ws placed on general file this morn
ing. "I move. we delay action on this
bill until w'e have hd more time to
study it," Snow said. "I haven't paid
much attention to it and from the
personnel and interest displayed in
debate on the bill by a number of
persons in the lobby, who 1 know
are interested in corporation affairs,
I think we had better wait a day, or '
two. and look it over.1'
The Snow motion carried.
The bill, known as the Reed-Mears
tax measure- imposes a straight tax
of $10 on corporation capital in
vested in Nebraska, not in excess o:
$20,000. and a tax of 50 cents on
everv $1,000 in capital in excess of
