Slayers Of Herman Zahn Have
Their Preliminary Trial.
OFFICERS SEEK TO KEEP CROWD OUT.


A Fremont, Neb.. January g., dis
patch says: William Rhea, Edward
Gardner and William Darrell were
taken before Judge Wintersteen at
1910 o'clock for . preliminary hearing
and were charged with being the mur-
derers of Herman Zahn at Snyder, Fri
day night, january. The three men
entered plea of not guilty, waived ex-
animation and were bound over to the
district court for trial. Bail was de-
MED.
The authorities had taken great care
that the time for the preliminary hear
ing should not be known. Only two
or three persons, besides the lawyers,
were in the court room when the pris-
oners were brought over from the
county Jail. Rhca was carried in a
chair, as he is unable to walk ON ac-
count of his wounds. The next term
of the district court will convene on
February 4, and the prisoners will, be
brought in at that time. 1t is aproba-
BILE. however, that Rhea and Gardner,
at least, will ask for continuance, as
the lawyer they have employed is a
member of the legislature and will.no
be able to attend that session of court.
The matter which is uppermost in
the mind of Sheriff Kreader and some
of the other county officials at this
time is the whereabouts Of q certain
ten dollar note which it was hoped
would be very valuable evidence in
connecting Mrs W. d. Williams with
the robbery. This was given to Emil
zahn, q brother of the dead man, Il
couple of days ago to take to Snyder
that it might be identified by the bar
keeper in Zahn's saloon. 1t was bad
~ worn and had been pasted together
by means Of q piece Of bright red
paper. For this reason it could be
identified easily. The bill was found
concealed on the person Of Mrs. vii
liams, together with about $75, when
she was brought to Jail. On the way
bone zahn lost this, and no trace Of It
has since been found. A reward was
offered and every effort will be made
TO have 1t brought in by the finder.

}sideration the much mooted canteen
question in connection with the army

Tuesday, January ..
A notable speech was delivered in
the senate yesterday by Mr.. Lodge OF
Massachusetts. Addressing the SEN
ate ON the amendment of the military
committee striking out the provision
Of the reorganization bill for veterin-.
ary corps. he discussed briefly and
principally in the form of colloquy
with Mr.. Bacon the Philippine ques-
ton and the necessity for an army Of
100. 600 men. In conclusion he drew a
brilliant word picture of the CONNER
cial future OF the United States. de-
eiaring that the. trade conflict with
Earope. already begun, could result
only in the commercial aud economic
supremacy of the entire world. In
this Industrial conflics he apprehended
no danger from q material contest with
any nation, Of the world, but he urged
the necessity for strong and scien-
tifcally organized army and q power
fnl navy in order. that the Uuited,
States might, be prepared to defend
its rights against any posi- Bile foe.
During the afternoon the senate rati-
:hed the committees proposition to.
eliminate the house provision for the
establishment of veterinary corps in
the army.
Senator, Teller of Colorado gave no.
tise OF substitute he will offer for the
entire pending measure, continuing; in

wednesday, January Q.

by a'vOtc OF los to 1O2 the house yes
terday accepted the reapportionment
plan proposed by the Burleigh bill, in,
creasing the membership of the house
during the next decade from 457, the
present membership and the member
snip proposed by the committee on the
Hopkins bill, TO $3.50. The result was
largely brought about by the influence
of certain senators from several larger
northern states, who threw the weight
of their influence in the scale in favor
of the larger membership.
When it became apparent that these
factors were at work against his bill,
Mr.. Hopkins attempted to compromise
by giving an additional representative
each to North Dakota, Colorado and
Florida, but his adversaries refused to
compromise after complete victory was
assured. The Crumpacker proposition
to recommitt the bill for the purpose
ascertaining what states abridged the
right to vote to an extent which would
entail reduced representation, was de-
feated. There was no roll call on this
vote, but number of republicans vot-
ed with the democrats. Under the
bill as passed no state loses q repre-
sentative and the following make
gains:
Illinois, New York and Texas, three
each; Minnesota, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, two each, and Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Connecticut. Flor
ida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Washington, West Virginia
and Wisconsin, one each.
The bill provides that whenever a.
new state is, admitted the representa-
tive assigned to it shall be in addition
to the number provided in the bill. ! 1t
also adds provision, never hereto
fore incorporatedin a reapportloD1nent
bill. to the effect that congressional
districts; in addition to being .contig-
uous," shall also be compact" States
which are allowed additional repre-
sentatives shall, by its terms, elect
them at large until the legislature shall
redistrict the state. Il
