HOUSE-Replying to the action of
the house demanding information
from Congressman Burkett as to
whether he would support President
Roosevelt in his railroad reform legis-
lation, the clerk on the 18th, read
the following: Am advised of action
of Nebraska house of representatives
today, asking my views. Please say
to the house for me that | stand
squarely with the president and in.
dorse his message for proper control
of railroad rates" The telegram was
received by Speaker Rouse. The house
adjourned at ESQ p. m. out of re-
spect to the late Governor CARRIER,
whose death was announced in tele-
gram received by Governor Mickey
When the telegram was read kaley
of Webster moved for the appoint
ment of a committee to draw suitable
resolutions. The following were pass
ed: Whereas, BY the death OF Hon.
Silas CARRIER the state has suffered the
citizen, who has served many times
in public office and by reason of his
exemplary life and honorable service
has endeared himself to the people OF
our commonwealth: therefore be 1t
Resolved, That we honor the memory
of the Hon. Silas CARRIER by adjourn
ing for the remainder of the day. and
that these resolutions be spread upon
tn journal of the house and that a
copy Of the same be forwarded to his
immediate family, to whom we offer
our sincere sympathy in this their
hour of grief" McAllister of Deuel.,
introduced his reapportionment bill.
1t is house roll No. 81, and with one
slight change is identical with house
roll No 371, which he introduced two
years ago and which failed of pas
sage The only point of difference be-
tween the two measures is that the
present bill adds one more county,
Banner, to district No. so, represent
ed by McAllister, which now includes
Deuel., Keith, Cheyenne and Kimball.
The new bill reapportions the senator
ial as well as the representative dis
tricts. 1t takes Douglas county out Of
the Tenth representative district and
places it in the Ninth, giving it four
more representatives, and instead of
leaving Douglas in the Sixth senator
ial district, as at present, with three
senators, the new bill creates the
Fifth district of Douglas alone with
four senators, and the Sixth, with
Douglas and Saunders, with one SEN
ator. So under the new bill Douglas
county has seventeen and half mem
bers in senate and house together.
whereas at present it has twelve.
Among bills introduced the following
occur: To provide for the erection and
maintenance of a hard fiber binding
twine plant at the Nebraska state
penitentiary and to make appropria-
tions therefor. Appropriates $4,000
for establishment and s150,000 for OF

sonally whether or not he will support
President Roosevelt's anti-railroad
policy. The resolution was introduced

which some explanation is made. A
motion by Wilson that the printing
committee be authorized to ascertain
the cost of mimeograph copies of the
daily minutes for the members was
passed. At the first of the session
motion was passed doing away with
this custom on the grounds that S. q
day, the cost last session, was too
much. The committee on rules return
ed report which was adopted and
does away with two clerks employed
heretofore. Among resolutions intro
