important Insurance Measures.

Three important insurance measures were
introduced in the house today. Bennett of
Carroll presented one which calls for an
entirely new law regarding mutual com
panies by permitting them to insure against
losses of damages resulting from burglary
and against the loss of money and securities
in the course of transportation. The pro-
vision involved is that business OF this kind
be confined to such organizations as banks,
loan and trust companies, ETC., and to county
treasurers.
Representative Temple introduced two
bills. One was made with a view to the
absorption of the Union Life of Nebraska
by the Royal Life of this state, the sig
nificance of the text being that Iowa COM
panies, having reinsured and absorbed COM
panies in other states, can carry on to its
credit as capital and ss assets the capital
and assets of the company absorbed.
The second was to authorize Iowa as
sociations to loan money to policy holders
upon security of their policies, with the
provision they do not exceed the amount OF
legal reserve to the credit OF the policy on
the books of the association.
Three bills passed the house this morn
ing. The first, the measure introduced by
Overfield of Toward, providing that regis
tered pharmacists who are partners of per-
nit holders, shall have the same privileges
and be subject to the same restrictions as
clerks of the same. II is merely to supply
an omission in the code. The bill was passed
legalizing the Incorporating the town o.
Adhesion, Taylor county, and also the meas
ure providing for the publication of portions
of the code in pamphlet editions for the
benefit of certain lesser officials. The latter
had previously passed the senate and went
through the house with only seven negative
votes.

Proposes to Deprive Governor Of AppOintive

DEADLOCK BETWEEN HOUSES AvsRriD
Three important Insurance Measures
MISUNDERSTANDING nil Goes
Through Both Houses Of
LEGISLATURE.

DIES MONIES, Feb. Especial Telc-
gram)-Today brought forth most impor-
tant legislation as a result of the contro-
versy over the State Board of Control APP
pointment. which eliminated in the senate
turning down Colonel Rood yesterday. The
absorbing topic of discussion about the leg
islature today has been the bill introduced
in the house by Sweet Of Bremen, taking
way the appointive power of the governor
in the selection of Board of Control mem
bers and making the offices elective by Joint
convention OF the legislature. The measure
is acknowledged to be the result of the on
position to Rood and is understood to he
backed by the anti-Rood supporters in the
senate. Its friends say that 1t will pass the
house easily and they mean to push 1t Wig
orously in the senate, where they hope to
gain enough votes, with the twenty-five of
the opposition, to put it through. There
has been no new developments yet relating
and it is suggested that there may not be
until the above measure is passed upon,
for it will become effective at once II ii
passes and the present legislature will elect
the successor to Ex-Governor Larrabee. The
| governor declines to talk of the matter
but it is understood he is still casting about
for a second nomination to send to the
senate.
The house bill to make the offices cleo
tive leaves with the governor the power
to suspend from office, with the confirmation
of the senate. There will unquestionably
be a big fight over the measure before ii
Is settled.

Deadlock is Aycrtcd.

The election of a state printer and binder
is temporarily delayed, as today the senate,
without the fight which was expected, voted
to concur in the house amendments to the
concurrent resolutions providing for the
election of trustees of the educational in
situations, but not state printer and binder,
next Tuesday at 1870 o'clock. This is taken
as an indication that the bill for the aboli-
ton of the offices may go through the
senate after all, though there will undoubt-
eddy be strong opposition, but at least for
the present the election is delayed. Five
members of the senate refused to vote to
postpone the election of printer and binder,
including Penrose, Macarthur, Motfitt,
Blanchard and Lewis.
One of the most important measures yet
/ passed upon by the senate was put through
today in the bill extending the one-tenth of
a mill tax for building purposes at the
State university for the next five years.
The act will realize from $50, 900 to $55, 900
annually, to be used for the erection of an
assembly hall, armory and gymnasium com
bined and a new library and museum. The
bill was unanimously endorsed by the ways
and means committee, before which the
president and regents of the university
presented their claims this week.

The democrats realize that this is a re-

over the nomination for mayor 1t does not
for the other nominations. Brooks Reed
has given it out that he will not seek a
denomination for city treasurer. but his
friends say that If it is offered him he will
hardly refuse. Robert Rain is talked Of
as a candidate for this nomination. Will
liam Higgeston, the present weighmaster, is
said to have aspirations to be auditor and
is out after the nomination against the ad-
vice OF his friends, who say he had better
stick TO the weighmastership. Sam Etnyre
will be given a denomination for engineer, as
will Sam Wadsworth for city attorney.
w. ID. Hardin says he is not looking for
denomination as city assessor, but this is
one OF Hardin's little pleasantries. He never
has asked for the nomination, but he gets
there every time just the same, and being
a popular sort Of fellow has always had the
good luck to be elected, but this year It lie
said he will go down in defeat with his
party.
DIR. Christensen, who is also said to have
aspirations to be chief executive of the
city, will be a candidate for alderman-at-
large again and Aldermen Atkins and Brough
will ask for denominations in the Fourth

uncertainty about Alderman Casper being
