ROUTINE SENATE PBocEEDINGs
Effort TO Repeal Wolf Bounty Bill
Fails in Senn1e. r.
From a STAFF Correspondence

LINCOLN. Neb.. Jan, -{specialo-The
greater part OF the time of the senate
this morning was taken up IN a discussion
of the wolf bounty and al the close the
bill providing for a repeal of the bounty
was killed. The standing committee on
labor reported favorably on the compulsory
education bill S. F. 60 by Thomas, and
It was placed on the general ile The

OF Senator Thomas, as there were defects
in the bill which were remedied by bill
subsequently introduced.
The senate went into committee Of the

peal the wolf bounty. After It was disposed

of the supreme court to five in the place
of the present commission. Several other
needed changes will also be discussed.
Senator Kings decedent bill, known as s.
+. 70, drawn by a number of Omaha attor-
peys. was recommended for passage in the
senate today. The committee made several
amendments to the bill. none Of which, how
ever, change the general terms Of the meas
ure. One of the principal changes gives to
the surviving husband or wife, where there
are no children or grandchildren living, one
half of the real estate instead of two
thirds. as provided for in the bill originally
drawn. The provision that pre-nuptial
contracts must convey at least freehold
estate in the lands of the survivor was
stricken out leaving no limitations, on the
terms of the contract The. section proyid-
ing the bill shall take effect october 1.
1907 was also eliminated.
A bill aimed at the Hastings Asylum for
the Incurable Insane was introduced in the
senate today by Burns of Lancaster. 1t Is
short and to all outside appearances an
innocent measure, but It will mean great
deal to the Hastings institution. The bill
merely strikes from the name Of the in
stitution the word ''lncurable." This would
place it on the same basis as the Lincoln
asylum ana would result IN lts getting
patients from its district only. At present
1t receives all insane patients who are de-
clared incurable. The institution Is grow
ing rapidly and the present bill is said to
be aimed at stopping that growth in favor
Of the Lincoln institution.

Yukon-Pacihc exposition. to be held at
Seattle in 1909 is in Lincoln in the inter
ests Of the exposition ana VIII ask the
legislature 10 appropriate $4,000 for Me-
braska building. In case It is decided not
to build a building a smaller appropriation
for an exhibit will be asked for, not less
than $4,000. He will have introduced In a
few days a joint resolution asking con-
gress to take part by approprlating S7500C0
for government and $4,000 for an Alaska
exhibit. Mr.. Wilcoxen is also seeking ap-
preparations from Wyoming and Iowa.

This bill, he said, would double their fees,
and he declared il was too much of a
graft" He thought some stated compen-
sation should be allowed them. The med
ical trio. Wilson, Wilcox and Dodscn. de-
Tended the bill and declared its purpose
was to put applicants from all medical in
stitutions on the same basis and to pro
vide for reciprocation In fees with other
states. Ashton and King opposed the bill
and finally, on motion Of Patrick, 1t was
recon1mitted to the committee, which was
directed to find out the facts concerning
the compensation of the members of the
board. The committee recommended for
passage the following measures:

publication In a newspaper Of general cir
culaton, of a, staten mt of the, condition of

SHAW SUGGESTS NEW SCHEME
Secretary of Treasury FavOrs Bonded
Ports for Making Goods for
Export.

CONCORD, n. H., Jan. S0.-Secretary
Shaw spoke before the New Hampshire
Board of Trade here this afternoon on the
subject, "A Foreign Market for American
Labor" He developed an idea of bonded
factories on a large scale, saying In part:
Merchandise can now be produced from
imported material in bonded factories. 1t
seems to be safe and wise to carry the
logic of this provision one step further and
have bonded or free ports.
Without attempting a lengthy elabora-
ton of the idea, l content myself with
throwing out the suggestions. Suppose in
stead of a bonded factory We bond well
defined section of land containing several
thousand acres. Within this bonded ter.
ritory all kinds of factories could be built
and into this zone all kinds of raw ma
terial could be alt red without the payment
OF duty. This port should, OF course, con-
taintno dwellings l would allow free coal
and every other element of manufacture
except labor, to be entered free.
In other words. this free port should pc
a great consumer of American labor. the
product of which under the most encour-
aging conditions. should be for export only
II Il was removed from the port for the
purpose of domestic consumption II should
pay the same duty as II Imported from
abroad.
do not see wherein the American people
could be harmed by such a policy, and II
would result in furnishing employment to
those who choose to live BENEATH our nag
consume our products and work at the
American scale of wages.
All New England would be benehted by
such a port on the north Atlantic coast
A similar port should be established In
the vicinity of Norfolk, and another on
the gulf. 1t will take time to develop the
thought, but tits in absolute harmony with

Wolf Bounty LAW stays.

Wolf BOunty LAW stays.
The only thing to disturb the tranquil
lity Of the senate at the morning session
was a spirited discussion Of Mckesson's
bill repeating the wolf bounty ldw!i Sem
ators from the western and sparsey set
tied districts Of the state fought a win
ming battle for the wolf bounty and the
test vote was Q to Is against the bill.
sibley of Lincoln led the .aght for the
bounty and McKessons headed the oppo-
sition. sibley started the fight in long
speech, In which he referred to the figures
used by McKesson the day before showing
senatorial districts Il and 30 secured over
5000 in bounty during the last year. This
il about half of the total amount paid
Senator sIbley declared this was not out
OF proportion, as the two districts conEtl-
tute almost half OF the state and most Of
the sandhnl territory, which Is especially
infested with coyotes He charged that
Lancaster county got more than its share
OF state appropriations and this was prac-
tically the only one given TO the people of
the west. Lincoln county alone, he said,
paid last year for 500 scalps. He said the
work of determination was done by the
farmers and their sons and by men who
did II for the money there was in It.
In his reply McKesson charged that
when a previous Appropriation OF $4,000
was made to pay for bountes, $4,000 OF II
went TO pay for scalps that had been stored
IN Sioux City outside the state. He in
timated that scalps were shipped across
the border. Wilcox and Epperson and
Wilson OF Pawnee spoke on the bill. Ep-
person favoring the' bounty and Wilson
opposing II, Patrick wanted TO make the
bounty apply to two-lesged wolves and
King Insisted the state ought not
20 have 10 pay the farmers OF the
west TO protect their own interests. Glover,
Gould Gibson. Hanna and Aldrich favored
a bounty and Phillips OF Holt declared II
was q good thing IL for no other reason
than II helped exterminat6 the greatest foe
OF game and irsectlvorons birds. Randall
and Byrnes OF Platte closed the debate In
opposition to the bin.
McKesson's motion to recommend for
passage failed by vote of Is to and II
motion to indefinitely postpone carried.
Fight for Amendments.
Senator Aldrich of Butler has not given
up his fight for constitutional amendments
because his bill proylding for a commits
sion TO recommend amendments was killed
in the senate. He has announced the COM
mittee on constitutional amendments will
take up the matter OF needed amendments
within a few days and will make recon-
rlendations in the form Of joint resolutions
for the submission OF proposed changes to

first things TO be mkehspp win be the pro-
