Advocates of Repeal In the House Not
Strong Enough to Accomplish It,
LINCOLN, March 7.-(Special.) THE house
passed the entire forenoon in con-
sideraton of reports of standing COM
mittees. Eight bills were recommended for
passage, twenty for the general file and
seventeen for indefinite postponement. Senate

the depository law, was ordered to the gen
,eral file after hard fight and only then
by the consideration Of certain members who
desired to show the courtesy Of the senate.

sidered in this connection and ordered to the
general file This bill provides for the ap-
pointment by county boards of repositories
for certain public funds in any bank in
the state which may apply to the county

,forethe appointment a depository for the
period beginning with the appointment and
ending with the 1st day Of March in the
ensuing year.
It was evident from the vote this morning
that the bill for direct repeal Of the depos-
tory law cannot pass the house.
The vote on the bill to establish a SOL
diers' home at Milford was preceded by a
lively debate, and although it went to the
general file it will be bitterly opposed by the
Hall county delegation and others. 1t was
