The house spent the greater portion of the
morning in wrangling over the Omaha con
test cases. The question came up on a
motion to authorize the committee on priv
ieges and elections to send for persons and
papers. This was debated freely and a vote
was taken at 11.i0. The vote resulted in 81
to 3S against, and the speaker declared 1t
carried. During the debate Edison Rich
stated that attorneys in the case were
willing to submit the question on the tes-
timony already submitted. 1t is plainly
evident that large amount of costs are
to be incurred in this matter for which
the state will be responsible The only
other business transacted by the house wac
the killing OF Dobson's bill, house roll No.
/, to repeal the High school law.
