The Supreme court of New York has decided that keeping snakes as house. hold pets does not constitute ground for 8 separation of man and wife. The suit was that of Mrs. Cornelia Carey Hull Burnett against her husband, Harold Burnett. ''IIe kept the house full of snakes she said; "boa constructors, fer-de-lances, copperheads and all kinds of snakes. I would find them everywhere. One of them got away and we did not know where it had gone. When went to get a book out of the bookcase took hold of the terrible lining. serpents crawled out of shoes, wrisgled from bureau drawers and curlsd up on beds" It did not appear that Mrs. Burnett objected to the ophi-
 dian element of the housekeeping at first, but by and by it wore on her until 1t was distinct shock to her to have a

BASIS OF FRANCHISE VALUE
Representative Douglas Says All Menu
bers Are Not Satished with
Gross Receipts.

Representative Douglas OF Rock county. a
member of the Joint revenue committee.
spent Sunday IN Omaha. Speaking Of the
bill which this committee has completed
and probably will introduce today IN the
house, he said there was some division
among the members as to certain provi-
sions. For instance, the amendment tackled
on within the past few days specifying the
new method Of assessing franchises of GER
tain corporations-to assess their gross
earnings aside from their tangible prop
erty. This did not meet the unqualified ap-
proval OF Mr.. Douglas or some others of
the committee and there is a disposition
to revise this feature OF the bill.
1t is understood from other sources that
President Frank Murphy and w. V. Morse
of the Omaha Street Railway company and
Paul Clark, representing similar Lincoln
corporations. were instrumental in secur-
ing the adoption by the revenue committee
Of this amendment, assuring the members
that such a change would not decrease
their taxes, but would have a tendency to
increase them. Yet they are said to have
argued that even II It did increase them
this would be more satisfactory to them,
as II would make the assessment definite
and enable them to avoid annoying litiga-
tion likely to arise under the present con-
ditions.
Senator Saunders OF Douglas county, who
by the way, was not present at the meet
ing of the committee at Lincoln when the
matter OF assessing the public service cor
porations was up, is credited with beins
stoutly opposed to any change in the pres
ent system Of valuation.

HOUSE HAS CLEAR DECKS
Practically All sessiOnal Work Dis
posed of Except General
Deficiency Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The house en-
ters the last full week OF the session with
the decks practically cleared OF everything
except appropriation bills. Only one Of
these, the general deficiency, which was re-
ported yesterday, remains to be passed.
Several interesting contests are expected
on a number of bills in conference. Es-
pecially spirited would be the fight over the
proposition to accept a statehood amend
ment IL one should come to the house as
rider on an appropriation bill. It would
command the solid support OF the demo-
cratic side, and It is believed enough re-
publicans to accept IT, although It would
be strongly resisted by the republican lead
ers. The Philippine currency bill has been
set for Tuesdsy
The suspension day which. under the
rules, preeedes the expiration of each con-
gress. begins on Wednesday and by
means OF the parliamentary expedient OF
making motions under suspension OF the
rules parliamentary knots can be cut and
legislation expedited.
The Fowler currency bill will continue IN
be the stop gap whenever matters are not
pressing, but there seems no prospect Of
it's passage. There is an intimation, how
ever that IT might serve a useful purpose
in case the Aldrich deposit bill shonid
come over from the senate It is said that
the latter bill could be substituted for the
former without going to committee, either
by striking out all after the enacting clause
of the Fowler bill OF through the opera
tions OF a special rule. II neither of these
courses was adopted, the bill would be re-
ferred TO the ways and means committee.
which could report it forthwith. as It is well
understood that a reference TO the COM
mittee on banking and currency would be
equivalent tos SIS death The reference to
the ways and means committee can be
made on the ground that Il provides for
interest on government deposit in the ma
tional hanks, and to that extent is a reve-
nue. measure.

LEAvE-TAKING OF Mr.. TREFz
Pastor of KountEe Memorial Lutheran
Church Formally Presents
HIS Resignation.

Rev. Edward Frederick Trefz, pastor OF
Kountze Memorial Lutheran church for
three years and six months, formally an
nounced his resignation to his congrega-
tion yesterday morning. He will terminate
his connection with the church on Sunday,
April IL, to go to Binghamton, N. Y, where
he will be pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church. His farewell words expressed
regret at leaving and satisfaction with the
accomplishment of his work here. He de-
clared that his incumbency OF the pulpit
has been most happy. The members of the
church are requested to assemble Monday
evening, March 2, to declare the pulpit va
cant. according to the constitution. As to
his reason for making the change, MIR.
Trefz said:
Apparently It seems that the question of
finance and prestige has lent influence to
my decision, but this is not true. When
the accounts are balanced my new field
presents no financial advantage, and surely,
could not WELD a greater power in GER
tain directions there than have in Omaha
during at least the last two years. That
part Of my ministry which most enjoy.
and which l feel to be most important,
have had no opportunity to exercise While
among you. The prophet of God must have
time 10 spenu at least an nouI OF lWo nOurs
each day in brooding and meditation and
listening to overtures from the Beyond
He should, likewise come into personal
touch with each of his people, and from
this experience, bring forth his sermtn ms
and the work of his ministry to it's fullest
bloom and blossom"
AS to his work here the clergyman says
I'm these three years and more OF my
ministry, have been privileged to see the
growth and prosperity Of this church
through such marvellous strides as 1t never
enjoyed in its previous history. We have
come from comparative obscurity to take
the foremost place in the front ranks OF
the churches of this city. We have made
1t center Of religious influence, a power
for righteousness, a refuge for the tempted
and distressed, and a source of encourage
ment and hope to all those who are cas-
| down"
