WASHINGTON, May 2l,-So much of
the time of the house was occupied today
IN the consideration of the president s
veto of bill to pension Francis Hoover,
private in the 9th o. Y. l., and in
listening to a personal explanation from
Grosvenor, relative to newspaper misrep-
re3entation of his position on the subject
of reciprocity, that the time for debate
on the Phillips commission bill was ex-
tended until tomorrow at 4 o'clock. The
bill provides for the appointment by the
president of non partisan commission
of 81, seven representatives each from
labor, agriculture and business, to col
late information and consider and recon-
mend legislation to meet the problems
presented by labor, agriculture and CAPT
tai. Phillips, chairman OF tho labor
committee and author Of the bill, made
the principal argument today.

LlNcoLN, Neb, May 2l,-Attorneys ap-
peared before the supreme court this
morning and appealed for suspension
of the sentence of - years in the peni-
tentiary of Henry Bolln, convicted of
embezzlement as city treasurer of
Omaha. A petition in error, in which
the supreme court is asked to review the
case, was also filed. The probable error
on account of which suspension Of sen
tence, pending review of the case, was
asked, was that the trial judge in his in
structions said that, If the treasurer
"failed to turn over the money in his
possession on demand" that act consti-
tuted embezzlement. The attorneys for
Bolln contend that the instructions
should read ION reasonable demand"
This afternoon an order was made sus-
pending sentence pending review OF
the case. Bail was fixed in the sum of
100000

BLOCK THE GAME
Senator Hill Onca More Goes to the
Rescue of the GOldbug Adj
ministratiOn.
FIL|BUSTERING The METHOD
Rutler's Bill to Prohibit the Further
Issue Of Bonds Was the
Cause.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The senate
had an hour of much excitement, with a
resort to obstructive tactics and several
heated personal controversies, at late
hour today. The early portion of the
session had been given to the routine of
agreeing on conference reports on ap-
preparation bills. At . O'Clock Butler
moved to take up his bill prohibiting the
further issue of interest bearing bonds.
Hill Immediately moved an adjourn
ment, securing a yea and nay vote in
order to secure time. Motion to adjourn
was defeated, wbereupon Chandler fol
lowed with a motion for an executive
session.
Pettigrew asked leave to offer sup
Elementary conference report on the In
dian bill. Consent being given, Hill
Immediately demanded the full reading
Of the report This was an unexpected
move for delay, as the report was very
voluminous. The presiding officer, Faux
ner of West Virginia in the chair, ruled
that Hills demand was regular, and di-
rected the clerk to proceed with the
reading of the report. After some warm
remarks back and forth, and after nu'
merous roll calls to which senators did
not respond, the senate at late hour
adjourned, Butler announcing he would
resume the fight tomorrow.

Many MethOdists Think That Theater-

Are Not Sinful.

CLEVELAND, May 2l.--Thc Methodist
conference devoted the entire day to the
election of secretaries, and to the fixing
OF episcopal residences. A lively in
terest is taken in the proceedings by del
egates, and there is but a slight falling
off in attendance There is promise Of

prescribed amusements. The action Of
the committee today in deciding to sub
NIT majority report declaring that the
part of the discipline which prohibits at
tendance at theaters, card playing and
other amusements Of that nature to be
unconstitutional, will provoke Il spirited
debate, for the conference at yesterdays IS
session refused to strike out that part of
the discipline. There is feeling among
many delegates that the rule is a dead
letter. for the reason that it is Tot obey
ed, while others are opposed to it be-
cause it does not include many amuse-

SCHOOL ELECTION TOMORROW
Shall This District Issue Nineteen
Thousand Dollars in Building
Bonds?
Figures Show That That Sum Is Ah-
solutely Necessary-Some
Opposition.

At the old frame school house, at the
corner of Third avenue south and Fifth
street, from a. IN. to 6 p. N. tomorrow,
the qualified electors OF school district
NO will have an opportunity to vote
upon the question of whether or not the
district shall issue additional building
bonds, to the amount of $4,000, for the
purpose Of completing and furnishing
the Central high school building.
Every man or woman who is of the age
of Il years, citizen of the United States,
who has resided in the state for one year
and IN the district for 80 days. may vote
tomorrow. There Is no other quaitica-
ton, wbatsoever, despite any statement
that an elector must be taxpayer.
Within the past few days il has devel-
oped that there will be considerable op-
position to the bonds. and if there is not
heavy vote, the issue will probably be
defeated, for those who are opposed will
certainly vote. No ground for the oppo-
sltlon Is advanced, except that the build
ing ls not necessary. Even if this were
true, the defeat of the bonds would re-
suit in $4,000 of the districts money
being tied up for over year in useless
building; for it may be semi authorita-
lively stated that, il the electors of the
district, by failing to vote, permit the
bond issue to be defeated no further
step toward completing the building will
be taken within the next year 1t would
be useless to do anything.
But the building will be greatly needed
by Sept /. lu fact, it has been needed
during the past year. On the South
side, even as early as last fall, pupils
were excluded from the schools, there
being no accommodations. In many of
the rooms, only half day sessions have
been held for the past seven months;
and since April l, no pupil has been ad-
mitted to the schools. Every fall there
is large number of new pupils to enter
school. 1t is conservative estimate
that, If the building is not completed by
Sept. l, l15 pupils will be denied the
privileges of the schools.
The board has asked for only $4,000
less than is really desirabIe-but will, by
close inspection and economy, allowing
not one single extra" to contractors,
make that sum suffice. 1t is apparent
that that sum is absolutely necessary.
The exact amounts yet to be paid to
the subcontractors, when they shall have
completed their contracts. are as fol-
lows:
