Discussion Continues in Senate
g Today-senator Daniels OBJ
iects to Certain Words in
Teller Amendment.
SENATOR RAINER's
CRITICISM OF PRESIDENT
Says Caustic Things and Accuses
Him Of Changing Views
Laments Interference.

Washington, May 1S.-When the
railroad rate bill was taken up today
the senate resumed the consideration
of the Teller amendment striking out
the provision giving to the interstate
commerce commission the power to
prescribes rates, the words "in its
judgment"
Senator Daniel made the first speech
on the Teller provision, taking the
position that the presence of the words
I'm Its Judgment" would not have the
effect OF yitiating the bill as had been
contended. He declared, indeed, that
neither the presence nor the absence
of the words could affect the measure.
Senator Raynor in the senate today
said that he expected the president
would change his opinion again before
the bill was finally, enacted and get
back to the Long amendment. There
was no telling but that In few DAYS
some new Chandler of fortune might
get possession Of the president and
get him back to the original termi-
nus. The president resembled a
kaleidoscope. He is tearing through
space, oblivious Of where he came
from and with no conception of where
he was going. He deplored the presi-
dents interference. s ,@

LUCAS CASE Is POSTPONED.
Arguments on Point Contended For
Will Be Heard.

Lincoln, Jan. 26.-Challenging the
jurisdiction of Judge Letton of the
supreme court, the state succeeded In
having the hearing of the John r.
Lucas habeas corpus case postponed
for a day. Attorney General Brown
wanted a ruling on whether or not a
single judge could authorize a writ Of
habeas corpus, and the matter will be
discussed.
Lucas was sentenced to life Impris-
onment for the murder OF Clyde Les
ter, in Phelps county, Dec. 6, 1904.
Before he was brought to Lincoln to
prison the case was appealed to the
supreme court, which reversed and re-
manded the case for a new trial. The
district Judge of Phelps county has
since then refused to liberate Lucas
on bail pending the new trial. Judge
Letton granted the counsel for Lucas
the requested writ of habeas corpus
to compel the district Judge to allow
the prisoner to be freed on bail.
Lucas claims that he shot Lester in
~solf'dcfense, but the prosecution
proved that the man was unarmed
and that he had been in an attitude of
supplication, with his hands up, when
the shot was fired. The two men had
a dispute over back wages which Les.
ter claimed were due him.

FIGHT ON HOME co-oPERATlves,
Nebraska Officials Watch With Inter
est Prosecution Of Chicago Concerns.

Lincoln, Jan. 29.-Nebraska officials
have been watching with interest the
prosecution OF the promoters OF the
Continental Financing company OF
Chicago. 1t is the old cooperative
fight over again and Secretary Royse
of the state banking board is deter
mined to prevent all wild cats" from
operating in the state.
AS he fight against home cooper
alive associations" as they are called,
originated in Nebraska, where public
sentiment was first directed against
them, the Nebraska officials watch
with interest any movement against
the concerns in other states. The con.
Germs pretend to operate on a plan
similar in a way to that of building
and loan associations, but in reality
are far different. Each victim is sold
a contract for a home or other prop
erty, for which a certain monthly pay
ment per $1,000 Is required. OF this
assessment a certain portion is sup
posed to go toward maturing con-
tracts, another portion into a sinking
fund and a third portion to the eA-
pense fund of the company. The com
pany promises to mature contracts as
fast as the maturing fund and the
sinking fund permit. Each investor
is induced to believe that his chances
of maturing a large contract before he
has paid in more than q few assess
ments are very good.

BREWERS TAKE ACTION
TO PURIFY SALOONS
Claim Their Product to Be a Pro-
motor of Genuine
Temperance.

The United States Brewers Associa-
ton. which has just closed its annual
convention at Indianapolis, has reiter-
ated its determination to put the brew
ing industry upon a high plane and make
the products Of the industry more of a
national drink than at present. Many
favorable newspaper comments have
been created by the resolutions adopted
by the convention congratulating the
many brewing associations IN States and
cities that have taken the lead In eradi-
eating low and vile resorts and in re-
fUsing to supply beer to saloons that
were not approved by the public senti-
ment Of their respective communities.
1t was claimed that the immense In
crease in the consumption Of American
beer has done more to establish sobriety
than all the prohibitory laws IL. exist
ence, and viii, the resolutions set forth,
be the means of a true solution of the
drink problem and the establishment of
ideal temperance, besides showin,- the
confidence the American public has in
the purity and value of the national
drink.
During the convention the Interesting
fact was rought out that the Texas
brewers have for two years spent $4,000
each month In closing vile saloons and
low dives. The association has the best
legal talent TO be found, a corps of
trained detectives, and secures it's own
evidence against salOonkeepers who do
not run orderly places.
The intention of the brewers OF the
country is, IL is announced, to make beer
a drink that can be taken in a soda
water fountain or anywhere else without
Suh1ecting anyone 10 criticism
