Special order for This
Afternoon,
From a stan Correspondent


(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, March 12.-(Special)-with
Hall OF Douglas as their spokesman, enc
mics of the Brady elevator bill, made an
attempt to pass over s. f. l02 and post
pone a discussion OF il by the committee of
the whole. Brady finally had the bill made
a special order for tomorrow afternoon.
1t was the evident intention OF the
enemies Of the bill to postpone a discus
sion OF it for the present and allow Il to
be discussed in connection with other bills.
In this way they hoped to insure its de-
feat. Should 1t be postponed two days 1t
would go In the hands of the sitting COM
mittee, and its fate then could not be
foretold.
The bill provides that railroads be COM
PEELED to build sidetracks to elevators along
the right-of-way when the the construction
Of the elevator shall have cost not less
than $4,000, and 20 compel the railroads
to furnish equal facilities for all ship
pers. The committee amended the bill by
repeating the section in the statutes COM
Polling the railroads to conduct an inter-
change business.
When the bill was called Hall Of Douglas
asked that It be passed because there were
some parties who desired to investigate It
further. Day Of Nuckolls desired it passed
because Wall Of Sherman, the father OF the
amendment, was absent. Brady made a
strong appeal for the consideration OF the
bill and among other things informed Sen
ator Hall that the dill had been discussed
in, open meeting by its friends and by its
eneflies,, That for Ave weeks 1t was in the
hands of The committee. S. F. 146, which
Mr.. Hall said was Of a similar nature had
been passed; that S. f. 102 could be dis
cussed: that the Ramsey bill in the house
was laid by awaiting the %senate's action on
the bill.
O'Neill OF Lancaster came to Brady's as
sistance and said 1t was not precedent to
ask the postponement Of a bill because the
chairman Of a committee that had re-
ported Il was not present. Brady finally
moved to make the discussion of the bin
a special order for tomorrow afternoon and
this carried.
The finance, ways and means committee
will meet each morning commencing to-
morrow morning in room 9 at $50 a. m.
sharp.
