The State Capital
Matters of General Interest
---=== FROM ==
Nebraska's Seat of Government
County Attorneys May Meet.

A movement Is being agitated to in.
vite all of the county attorneys in the
state to meet in Lincoln to hold con-
ference in regard to the enforcement
of the new state laws. No call will be
issued until Governor Sheldon has
sanctioned the proposition. Thus far
about the only new law which IL is
proposed to enlighten the county at
torneys upon is the pure food drug
and dairy law. AT the proposed con.
ference IL may be explained why four
months have elapsed after the food,
drug and dairy law became effective
and no drug inspector has been ap-
pointed During the session of the leg
islature some sensational scenes were
witnessed In the senate. Prominent
members denounced tho drug lobby
as being the most disgraceful that
over attended the session, though the
men composing 1t were fine looking
and had spent most of their lives in
Nebraska In the retail and wholesale
drug business. Efforts were made to
forcibly eject tho drug lobby. The
delegations composing it resorte1 to
the galleries where they quietly lis
tened to denunciation Of themselves.
One senator declared in debate that the
chief lobbyist was a drug man from
another state who had lobbied through
congress the sections of the national
pure food law relating to drugs and
that he had come to Nebraska on n
similar mission, and that medicine he
manufactured had come near being
the death of former member of the
senate. A letter from the former men,
Der was read in support of this dam
aging claim. The national law re-
ferred to which is now said to be very
effective was also denounced as being
very inadequate. The arraignmcnt of
the chief of the drug lobby was SO
severe that he published an open let
ter in which he said he would prose-
cute the senator for libel but for the
immunity given him by law for state
ments made in debate. Before the
state law was enacted the drug men
got some concessions and since the
low went into force no drug inspector
has been appointed to enforce its pro
| visions.

Death Warrant Prepared.

A death warrant, prepared by Dep.
uty Clerk Victor Seymour Of the SUI
preme court. was sent to Warden A.
ID. Beemer OF the penitentiary. 1t di-
reefs him to hang Harrison Clarke
December 10, between the hours of
II n. IN. and p. m, and was pre-
pared in accordance with the decision
Of the courts. The document recites
the record of the case from the trial
and sentence by the district court of
Omaha, atfirmance by the supreme
court and denial of a motion for re
hearing, and other facts that appear
in the record. Unless Governor Shell
don interposes, the death sentence
will be carried out. Last August IN
application was made to the supreme
court for n stay Of execution and re-
hearing. An affidavit filed by two of
Clarke's companions accompanied the
application, the affidavit of Gathright
stating that he fired the shot that
was street car conductor Suisse
quently Gathright repuGiated this aAi
davit, saying that he had signed it ct
the request of Clarke's attorneys, who
represented that as he had been sen
fenced to a term in the penitentiary,
it would not hurt him and might save
Clarke's life. Gathright, IN reDLdat-
ing his affidavit, said Clarke fired the
shot,

Food Commissioner Wants Ruling.

Food commissioner Johnson has
been deluded with protests from
wholesalers objecting to his interpre-
tation of the pure food law which
places baking powder under it's pro-
visions. When he was first appointed
Mr.. Johnson ruled that baking pow
der did not come under the law, but
after an Investigation he recalled that
decision and ruled otherwise. 1t was
his second ruling which caused the
large number of objections and in
order to settle the matter once for all,
he has applied to the legal department
for ruling on that section Of the
law.

johnson Going After Stock Food.

Just as soon as he can get around
to It Deputy Food Commissioner
Johnson is going after the stool; foods
sold in Nebraska with an idea in
mind 10 prevent cheat and also the
sale of injurious foods. Reports to
him so far received show that one
method Of cheating Is as Follows: The
retail dealer buys a sack OF chopped
corn and oats Weighing 100 pounds.
The retailer then puts the food in
smaller sacks and sells ninety pounds
for 100 pounds, selling back to the
wholesaler the large sack for cents.
The wholesaler does not KICK on this,
so the information received by tho
commissioners indicates, because he
himself is working a graft. The whole
salcr Is charged with cutting up corn
and corn cobs and sprinKilng over the
mixture lot of oats chaff or hulls.
The purchaser picks up handful Of
the mixture and seeing tho oats chaff,
naturally concludes oats have been
ground up with the corn, when as a
matter of fact nothing has been
chopped up except corn cobs and n
little corn. The food commissioner
has evidence along these lines which
he believes is reliable and just as
soon as he can investigate his reports
and get them verified he intends to
swoop down on the concerns with all
the force at his command. The mum.
Der of diseases caused in cattle and
horses by the use OF such mixtures
as described is said to be large.

JEROME FIGHTS FINDING
 THAT THAW IS NOW SANE
VIGOROUSLY PROTESTS AGAINST ITS CONFIRMATION BY
 THE COURT.

Report of the Lunacy Commission
 Unanimous but District Attorney
 Threatens to Carry the Matter to the
 AppeIIate DivisiOn-Justice Fitz-
 gerald Gives Him Until Monday to
 Prepare His ApplicatiOn-Is Refused
 Access to the Minutes of the Exami-
 nation of Thaw-Accused Satisfied
 But Not Surprised at Report.
 New York, April 4--Harry K. Thaw to-day was declared sane by the unan- imous report of the commission in lu- macy appointed some two weeks ago to inquire into his present mental condi- ton. The moment the decision was handed down from Justice Fitzgerald's desk District Attorney Jerome was on his feet vigorously protesting against it's confirmation by the court. He charged that he had been excluded from the last session of the commission and demanded to be allowed to have access to the minutes and stenographic notes of what transpired at the final mental and physical examination of the de- fendant. When Justice Fitzgerald de- clined to turn the minutes over to the district attorney MT. Jerome declared he would carry the case to the appellate division of the supreme court, asking that writ of prohibition or mandamus be granted to prevent a continuance of the Thaw trial until the higher court had ruled upon the legality of the com missions course.
 Justice Fitzgerald reminded MT, Jer- ome that he had waived the statutory right of attending the last session of the commission by suggesting ilimself that all the attorneys be excluded from the sitting in question. He then grant ed the district attorney an adjournment until Monday morning next in order that he might have time to prepare his application to the appellate division. Mir. Jerome protested that the time was too short but Justice Fitzgerald cut him short with the announcement that the trial must be concluded forthwith.
 Unless Mir. Jerome should secure a writ or prohibition Tn the meantime, Justice Fitzgerald is expected to an nounce on Monday morning that he has confirmed the report of the commission and order that the trial proceed without further delay. The district attorney and the counsel for the defense will be heard in argument as to the eonhrma- tion of the report at Mondays session of the court, if they so desire.
 After the adjournment to-day Mr. Jerome issued a statement In which he said he could not tell until after thor ough examination of authorities wheth- CT or not he ought to take further ac- tion in the way of an application to the
