The decision of the house Saturday
in the Two Douglas county contest
eases was arrived at without discussion.
As soon as the reports of the commit
tee were read, the final vote followed
unanimously, The matter was held
off by Chairman Whitmore because he
said he had been charged with being
arbitrary In his actions and he desired
the psrsons who thought differently
from him to have the fullest opportu-
dity to present their cases. In the
contest Of the seat Of Mr.. Johnson by
Carston Rohwor, two members OF the
committee on privileges and elections,
Mcssrs. Mullen and Hilbert, refused
to sign. They made no minority re-
port. however. and the proceedings
were purely formal.
When the house was ready for work,
the report of the standing committee
on university and normal schools was
received with bills bearing on this sub
jcct. Mockett's bin providing for the
purchase Of the school at Hawthorne,
near Lincoln, was recommended for
passage, as was Gawne's bill for a
school at Central City. Broderick's
bill for two schools 10 be located by a
board for that purpose was placed on
general file without any recommended.
ton. ltis more than likely that some
agreement on three normal schools
will he arrived at, one at Lincoln and
I'VE in the western part OF the state.
In this way all districts would be sat
isfed. 1t has been found In the past
that only in this way will any legis-
lation along this line he accomplished.
The bill providing for s75,5OO in i'm
provements at the Peru normal was
also favorably recommended.
The anti-cigarette bill passed the
house with but three votes against il.
IL provides stringent measures against
selling cigarettes without u license,
the price of which is put at $500 per
year.
In committee Of the whole the house
agreed to a bin by LOOMS providing
that the death penalty in the state
shall be inflicted only at the state pen
itentiary. The warden is made the
executioner and regulations are pro-
vided for the details of the act. This
is the plan in vogue in New York,
where all executions take place at Sing
Sing.
