ROUTINE PROCEEDINGS OF SENATE
street Railway Bill IL Discussed and
Postponed for a Week.

Postponed for a Week.
(From a STAFF Correspondent,)
LINCOLN. Jan. "a. - (Special) - The
senate this morning spent considerable
time discussing in committee of the whole
a bill by Epperson of Clay requiring teach
ers Institutes to be held during the
months of June July or August. More
time was spent on this measure than on
a half dozen or more important bills.
The bill espoused by G. w. Wattles of
Omaha giving street railway companies
power to own stock and bonds in and
lease and operate interurban companies
struck a snag when IL came up for hearing
in committee of the whole and it went
over week. These were the only two
measures that brought out much discus
sion. -
The committee on medical societies re-
ported favorably on the following bill
S. +. s6-By Dodson. Providing for a
reciprocal medical fee of $50 for physi-
clans registering from other states.
These bills came up on third reading and
passed the senate without opposition
H. r. 64-Appropriating $4,000 for the
payment of salaries for members and en-
| ployes of the legislature.
| S. F. Shy Epperson of Clay. Making
tents, wagons and boats used for immoral
| purposes nuisances.
| On motion OF Root the senate went into
committee of the whole with Thomas OF
| Douglas In the chair The following bills
were passed on favorably in the commit
tee
s. F. 14-By Root of Cass Repeating the
! Fourth Of July pardon law
/ 8. F. l6-By Thomas. Providing where
two or more defendants are on trial at the
| same time the state shall be allowed the
same number of peremptory challenges as

lating to fees to be charged accident insur-
ance companies by the auditors depart
s. F. 46-By MeKesson. Relating to fees
charged life Insurance companies.
S. r. 6-By Root of Cass. Requiring that
packages transported In this state contain

marked with the words Intoxicating

ing for a coroner's physician In Douglas
s. F. l5l-By Epperson Of Clay. Requiring
that county Institutes be held during the
| months OF June, July or August.
When S. F. Is, relating to the holding o
interurban securities by street railway com
panies, came up for consideration Aldricl
Of Butler objected to the consideration o
II hurriedly. He said the senate shoul'
be very conservative in passing the meas
ure II might, he said, allow such an ex
change OF stock as to permit the combina
ton OF competing interurban roads. Thes
lines. he said, in a few years would be
come very important in remedying abuse
by the steam lines and this measur
might be of far-reaching effect. Ashton

NfTOm a 6NdIL COTTcSpOnuCnlsJ
LINCOLN, Jan. 2-CSpeciai.)-H. r. 40,
by Scudder OF Hall, was recommended for
passage. This is the "anti-hobo" bill, ami
II gives authority to railroad employees
10 arrest persons stealing rides on trains
or Attempting TO steal rides and provid %
a punishment for hoboes The bill was
introduced at the request OF the Union Pa
cifc railroad officials and a petition lib
orally signed asking for it's passage was
read by Clarke Of Douglas county, who
took the lead in defense OF the bill While
the standing committee reported the bill
for general file. Cone, Adams and Henry
introduced a minority report that it be
indefinitely postponed. Cone. who sup
ported the minority report, argued that
IT gave too much authority to trainmen,
as 1t permitted them to make arrests with
cut warrant or process.
A statement read by Mr.. Clarke from
H. w Rowers OF the detective force OF the
Union Pacific showed the number OF
"hoboes" who get into the various towns
Of, the Etate by reason Of the absence OF
such a law. During three months last sum-
mer the statement showed North Platte
city authorities arrested every suspicious
character who came into the city, a total
Of ls2 who were put to work. Hundreds
Of others, the statement said, jumped from
trains and avoided arrest.
Statistics were brought out In the state
ment showing that during 1904 there were

ness. Salaries of over $4,000 year are for
hidden and 1t is provided that any company
paying any officer more than that amount
ehall be prohibited from doing business in
the state. Another of the bills requires
that all expenditures by insurance COM
panies be covered by vouchers and detailed
statements and that any expenditure nav
ing to do with any matter before a legis-
lature or public official shall be covered
by vouchers and by statement showing
what the matter was and how and for
what purpose the expenditure was made
The provisions that must be made part
Of all policies are definitely set out in an
other bill Other bills require an annual
apportionment of dividends and surplus
funds, define the status of solicitors, maxi
Ing them agents of the insurance company
and not of the applicant and prohibit
corporations or stock companies from act
Ing as agents.
Ben T. White, representing the North
western railroad, and several other rail-
road men appeared before the senate judi
ciary committee this afternoon to discuss
the employers liability bill, endorsed by
several organizations of railway employees.
a delegation OF engineers and conductors
was present to support the measure. Mr..
| White declared the bill too drastic and
| asked that It be modified in certain sec
| lions.
The senate committee on constitutional
| amendments and federal relations is en-
gagged In listening to pro and con argu-
ments on the question of a law relating
| to veterinary surgeons. A committee OF
veterinarians from over the state was be-
J fore the committee this afternoon They

STATE TO
GET ESTATE,
SAYS JURY
See No Heirs to Late John
". Russell's PrOperty--Al-
legged Niece Makes Claim.

That the property of John w. Russell,
a wealthy East Orange man whose will
is alleged to have been forged by
Mathew j. Ready, a lawyer. should go
to the State, was finally decided upon
by sheriff's jury today after a hear
ing Friday TO show that he had no
heirs, and also covering the real estate
held by him at the time of his death.
The verdict of the jury, which was
presided over by Sheriff Frank II. Som
mer, is not final. as the jury merely
found that Russell had no hers and
left no will, on the face Of the evidence
presented. In fact, former Judge George
H. Lambert was watching the proceed
ings In the interests of one Ellen Hyde
who lives in Patchogue, L. and is
supposed to be a niece of the deceased
1t is likely that he will take the neces-
sary steps to upset the verdict of this
jury through the courts.
Surrogate George Il. Russell. who Is M
relative of the deceased, produced books
from his office showing that the man lef
no will and added that about two years
ago Russell called at his office and. after
talking over business matters, declared
that he had no relatives at the time. Tho

came interested in each other because they
bore the same name.
After Deputy Register Thomas hat
shown by his books what property wal
owned by Russell, Philemon Woodruff
lawyer, swore that to the hest of hi
knowledge the property in Main street
East Orange, was worth $4,000 and had
rental value of from s65 to s75 a month
while the property In Maple avenue had ,
value OF $4,000 or $4,000, and another piec,
of land owned by him in East Orange wa
worth $50 to so a front foot. The frontag,
is 100 feet
