called. The first case was against jim
Green, a negro, charged with the killing
of another negro on the huntsville road,
near the Branuey place Christmas eve
night. By a compromise with the solic-
itor Green took verdict of five years
in the penitentiary. There were some nit

killing and the punishment agreed upon
was considered adequate for the pun
ishment of the crime. The second case
was that of Robert Whatley, young
white man, charged with the murder of
Lewis Bolton. A jury was secured be-
fore court adjourned for dinner and the
case entered into this afternoon. 1t Is
expected that not over a day will be
consumed in settling the case.

that the resolution should take the course

LINCOLN, Jan. 15.-(Special.)-A bill will
be introduced within a day or two provid-
ing for the creation of a constitutional
revision commission to prepare a compre-
hensive set Of amendments that will bring
the constitution of Nebraska up TO date.
The suggestion OF constitutional revision
commission comes from Victor Rosewater,
editor of The Bee, who freely admits that
the idea was one of his fathers and had
been outlined by the latter prior to his
death. Mr.. Rosewater has had confer
ences on the subject with Governor Shell
don, Supreme Judges Lection and Barnes,
ex-senator william V. Allen, Senator
Aldrich and Representative Tucker, chair
men, respectively. of the committees on
constitutional amendments in the senate
and house, and Representative Cone, who
is the minority leader.
1.-THE bill when drafted" said Mr.. Rose
water, will provide for a commission of
five members. not more than three from
any one political party, to be appointed
by the governor. 1t will be the duty Of the
commissioners TO convene at the capital
within week after their appointment
and proceed TO examine the constitution
for the purpose OF ascertaining In what
respects il is defective or Inadequate for
present needs. and to formulate series
OF amendments that will cure such de-
fects and make the constitution conform
TO the changed demands Of existing condi-
tions. The commission will have power
TO organize, employ necessary clerical as
