Deficiencies
; Felony Killed
Three Votet Taken to Decide
Issue Board of Control
- Members Salary vFed
At $4,000.
Lincoln, April 22. (Special) It
took three votes in the senate to kill
H.- R. 465. a bill originally drawn to
make it a felony for a state official
to create a deficiency in his appro
priation when that bill came up in
the committee of the whole.
Xhe. bill was first amended to in
clude all county, city and local offi
cials as well. Aftcr.it had been ad
vanced by a vote of 14 to 13, the
vote was reconsidered and a new
vote taken and the bill was post
poned, 15 to 12. Then a motion not
to concur in the committee report
for indefinite postponement was lost
by a vote of 11 to 18. ,
While the senate was accepting a
conference committee report recom
mending a committee substitute for
S. F. 89, a child welfare bill to pun
ish pandering, the house was re
jecting the report. A new commit
ter from each house will have to be
appointed.
The substitute bill is a state white
slave act, making it a felony, to
transport a woman across county
lines for immoral purposes.
The senate adopted a conference
committee report compromising the
salary of state board of control
members at $4,000 a year. The house
passed the bill, H. R. 403, at $3,500
and the senate boosted it to $4,500.
By a vote of 16 to 13, the senate
killed H. R. 463, a bill to prevent any
city or county official from employ
ing relatives in public offices at sal
aries above $800 a year. The bill,
which the senate once killed and then
revived, was drawn to prevent county
boards from appointing relatives as
state road overseers,
The senate adopted an .adverse
committee report to kill H. R. 610,
originally drawn to permit correction
of errors in estimates for paving in
cities of the second class, but amende
ed by the house to require "open bids
on all public work in all cities of
the state. The committee ruled
against the legality of such a sub
stitution. Recall of Censorship
Committee Is Urged
By Senator Hastings
Lincoln, April 22. (Special.)
Senator Hastings threw a bomb
shell in the state senate late this
afternoon when he introduced a
motion demanding that the senate
conference committee on House Roll
113, formerly the movie' censor
ship bill, but now the Beebe high
license substitute, be discharged and
a iew committee appointed.
Hastings was sponsor for the mo
tion picture censorship bill in the
senate and at the time he made the
motion today he named three other
senators to go on the new commit
tee. Hastings declared that the sen
ate and house committee was in a
deadlock and unless the ' personnel
was changed there would be neither
censorship nor regulation."
It was charged that senators on
the proposed new committee were
pro-censorship solons and that such
a committee would not represent the
attitude of the senate. The Hastings
motion was lost. - - -
Another motion carried, however,
which called for a report from the
senate committee at 10 tomorrow and
if a deadlock is .reported 'it may be
possible, another committee will be
appointed.

I
Homer, Neb., April 22. (Special.)
Teachers in the Homer schools
have not received pay for their serv
ice since February 1. W, H. Ryan,

gram.) The senate held its first
night session tonight in the hope that
odds and ends of unfinished busi
ness might be cleaned up to give a
right of way to consideration of the
big appropriation and revenue and
taxation bills due out of conference
committees tomorrow.
The conference committee on the
appropriation bill was reported to
be voting for a majority of the ad
ditions inserted in the bill when it
went through the senate, including
the $125,000 Fort Crook road ap
priation, which, because it was not
in the original budget, will require
a three-fifths vote to approve it in
the house tomorrow.
Reports on the work of the con
ference committee on S. F. 65, thi
big revenue and taxation bill, were
meager tonight. Both of these bills
must be considered by both houses
tomorrow and there was 'much doubt
expressed as to whether the work
could be finished by Saturday night.

lature learned last night that the
Omaha fellows weren't such "bad
guys, after all."
The discovery was made when the
members attended a big banquet at
the capital city's leading hotel given
by members of the Douglas county
delegation.
Music, stunts and "good . fellow
ship" predominated. '";':
V. L. Anderson, speaker" of the
house of representatives, said:
When Omaha wants things done,
wants favors from Nebraska and
wants to set a precedent for gentle
men of influence, let it send the
same representatives to Lincoln two
years' hence that it did this year."
Representative Douglas of Polk, in
poetry, read a like appreciation of
the. friendship of the rest of the
state for the Omaha delegation.
He called the 12 members of the
lower house from Omaha, "The, 12
apostles."
Girls Sing and Dance.
After the speeches of Anderson
and Douglas girls from the Lincoln
theaters entertained with dances and
songs which met loud approval from
all members.
As the evening progressed, Gus
Hyers, state sheriff, made a closer
search of the members than the
newspaper .men did. Suddenly his
vpice sounded like a clarion in the
banquet room: . ' ,
, "Lookee, lookee," he shouted.
": Hyers held . aloft a bottle, square
in shape and green in color, which
bore the label, "Johnnie --Walker.-.'
Hyers was standing directly be
hind Representative George Williams
of Fillmore,, a Seventh day adventist.
; Williams 'immediately was sum
moned before the court.

Nonpartisan leaguer, who wore a
necktie and a smile on his face for
the first time during the session,

senate membership. Each was or
dered to taste the contents of he
"Johnnie" Walker bottle. Everyone,
excepting Bob Druesedow of Om
aha, declared it was tea. Druesedow
yelled: "Whisky!"
Hollister immediately announced
he would have Druesedow tried be
fore an insanity commissioner. , '
Representatives I. A. Medlar and
M. M. Robertson of Omaha were in
charge of the dinner and entertain
ment. y

Chicks' Judgment In
Selecting Mother
Upheld by Judiciary
Sacramento, April 22. Chickens
haven't much sense, but they ought
to know their own mothers except
when the mother is an incubator,
and then they ought to know their
foster mother.
This was the deefsion of Judge L.
M. Shelley in the police court here
yesterday when warring neighbors
came before him, each seeking pos
session of 10 little yellow balls of
fluff.
The evidence showed that . one
neighbor, missing, her chicks, saw a
group ot chicks in a neighbor's
yard, so she took the bereft foster
mother over and set her down.
"Cluck, cluck," said the hen.
"Peep, peep," replied 10 chicks,
and ran to the shelter of, the big
hovering wings. The hen refused to
have anything to do with the. other
rliirlfs in tht varrl anil tViov in t,,m
declined to seek the shelter o her
wings. So the complainant got her
10 chicks back, the incubator chicks
have their foster mother again and
the judge dismissed the defendant.

France to Send 100,000
More Troops Into Germany
Paris, April 22. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) One hundred thou
sand French .troops, in addition to
those now on the Rhine, are pro
vided for in the plan elaborated by
the. mixed military and civil com
mission, according to La Liberte.
There are now 80,000 French
troops in the occupied territory, the
average cost for the maintenance
of which is 44,000,000 francs monthly.
La Liberte adds that the plan
calls for the occupation of two
thirds of the Ruhr industrial valley
and also Elberfeld and Barmen in
Westphalia. ... '
The essential principle of the
economic measures consists, ac
cording to the paper, of continuation
of the working of the mines and
mills and other plants by German
companies under , control of the
allies. The allied ' plan provides
that a certain percentage of coal
mined shall be exported to Germany.

Chlcitro Trlbun-OmIi lk' Leaned Wire.
Washington, April 22. The admin
istration's program for consolidating
and improving the various govern
mental agencies dealing with soldiers
relief was laid before the senate com
mittee on education and labor by
Brig. Gen, Charles E. Sawyer, Presi
dent Harding's personal physician
and reputed spokesman.
The program provides for the crea
tion of an, entirely new executive de
partment, headed by a member of
the cabinet, to be known as the sec
retary of public welfare. Under this
department there are to be four main
divisions, each headed by an assistant
secretary, to be known as .the divis
ions of education, public health, so
cial service and veteran administra
tion. Under the new plan, practically all
agencies dealing with the soldiers
would be consolidated. According
to General Sawyer, this would in
clude the war risk bureaus, pensions,
allotments, and similar matters. An
exception would be the work of pro
viding , adequate hospital facilities
which would be placed under the di
vision of public health.
The administration plan as set
forth by General bawyer is intended
to carry out the recommendations of
the Dawes committee. It varies from
these., recommendations n that the
Dawes report favored the creation
of an entirely separate agency, deal
ing exclusively with soldier relief, and
headed by a director responsible di
rectly to the president. Under the.
administration plan, the veterans' ad
ministration, would be directed by an
assistant secretary, but it is believed
that the secretary would give his
attention largely to this subject.
General Sawyer impressed upon the
committee President Harding's desire
for prompt action.
