CFrom a stan Correspondent


LINCOLN, oct. a.-Cspecial.)- report
OF the condition of the treasury at the
close OF business this evening indicates
that the school apportionment this Decem-
Der will be far short OF what II was year
ago. At this time there is only $4,000 In
the temporary school fund. That the money
available for apportionment is small this
year is due largely TO the action Of the Bur
llngton and Union Pacific railroads in re-
fusng to pay their taxes. While in some
of the counties a small per cent of the
taxes was rendered and accepted, in the
bulk OF the counties not a cent was taken,
and thus the receipts of the state treasurer
are cut down and the schools will be made

MARTINS REPORT APPROVED
oonmsrcial Club Men with Parry Endorsed
by Executive committee
SAY THEY OBJECTED TO BAcoEs RULE
Euclid Martin Asserts They Were
in sympathy with Roosevelt
He Takes Occasion to
Defend Parry.

Euclid Martin, chairman of the commit
tee sent to the convention of the Interstate
Law league at Chicago last week. made
his report. He said the Omaha delegation
had gone into the rump convention be-
cause its members refused to sign the
pledge put out by Bacon, and were thereby
excluded from the regular convection. The
pledge bound the signers to act according
to the views of Bacon. He said the details
Of the convention already had been made
known through the newspapers. His re-
port was approved by the executive COM
mittee.
Great interest was expressed in the meet
ing on the part Of the members of the
club because of the squabble at Chicago.
They had heard various stories of the
organization of the rump convention and
they were anxious to hear report from
their chosen committee, every member Of
which was aligned with the Parryites.
Euclid Martin was chairman and the other
members were William Glass, Charles II.
Pickens, G. L. Hammer, Frank Colpetzer.
Denies the RumOrs.
Denial Of the current reports that the ex-
ecutive committee had an anti-Roosevelt
object in view when the appointments were
made was made by members of that body.
It was stated also by Chairman Judson that
the committee went to Chicago entirely
without instructions; that It went to ac-
quire information rather than to act.
I'VE went to Chicago feeling something
ought to be done in the matter of railroad
rate legislation" said Euclid Martin Il,
for one, was in sympathy with the Roose-
welt movement Our boiling the convention
was not an anti-Roosevelt demonstration,
| but a protest against the high-handed tao
| tics of Bacon in stationing policemen at the
| doors to exclude those who would not sign
an agreement to act in accordance with his
| views. The men of our committee were
men enough TO refuse to submit to any such
! indignity. BY this time President Roosevelt
| is perfectly assured that the rump conven-
tion as a body was in sympathy with his
| movement"
Parry had no hand in the organization
| of the second convention. That is a story
made to order for political effect Neither

OMAHA, Oct. 81.-To the Editor Of The

writer became his chief clerk. Mr.. Flem-
ing was not then q politician, but he in
sisted on having the written resignation
OF his chief clerk in his possession. and
during all of his first term he so held said
resignation. 1t was only after his re-elec-
tion when he felt that he could be indie
pendent of the men who had elevated him
to public ONCE, that he saw fit to make
change in his chief clerA.
Contemplating this move all the time he

II was not an Insignificant matter to me
with five people depending upon my earn
ings, and the conscientious Mr.. Fleming
knew this very we'll. / was loyal but
found that principle was not what con-
cerned Mr.. Fleming. 1t was simply the
gaining of ONCE.
Mr.. Fleming won as a supposed Bryan
man, and he lets It be understood that he
/ is so still. Those who know him best are
aware that he is an anti-Bryan man and
one of the crowd at whose doors rests the
responsibility for the loss of Richard L.
Metcalfe to the cause in Omaha. From
