HOUSE HAS A STORMY SESSION
In a Mood TO Debate Every Measure
which Comes Up.

NrFom u StatI correspondent
LINCOLN. Feb. 26.-(Special)-The firty-
first day Of the session OF Nebraska's first
democratic insofar as the house wa con-
cerned was the stormiest and the most
riotous OF any to date. The day was spent
In the committee OF the whole, and while
the Lynx Eyed Luddcn. who has proved
himself the most persistent assistant SER
geant-at-arms the world ever saw, slept
quietly In the cleak room, the floor of the
house was used as a stamping ground for
insurance lobbyists. The members stood
In groups and scrambled and argued with
each other; the house ~applauded when
Killen. the chairman, put the motion to
table a bunch OF amendment to the game
law. and It applauded when 1t ruled such
q motion out Of order. Jerry Howard al
NEST threw a shoe in following Kraus Of
Douglas. who was acting for the messenger
for A. J. Barrett. Attorney Sears, Watkins
and a bunch of other South Omaha people
whom Jerry is sure are not here in the in
terest OF his charter bill. These persons
has pre-empted a table in the cloak room
and from there they directed the battle
In behalf OF the Timer charter. Kraus was
sent for repeatedly and as he slowly
wepded his way by a devious route to their
headquarters jeremiah was hot on his
trail.
the final adjournment came with half
OF the house yelling for a roll call, follow

Monday by a standing vote of 10 to 80.
Several Of the members came to work in
a beligerent mood. others in a happy mood
and many in a don't-give-a-rap mood and
the mixture of the three moods was suf-
flcient to make of the day a very disorderly
one. to say the least.
Save the fight on the insurance measure
the bill by Skeen to elect precinct assess
,rs drew the greatest amount Of disor-
derby oratory. Kelley started this when he
moved to strike from the bill the reference
o the election of county assessors, which,
If course, would abolish this very impor-
tant Individual.
The gentleman from Furnas character
'zed the county assessor as the foundation
or a political machine and nothing else.
lie draws his salary for work that is not
necessary and he spends his time working
politics, he said. Several times Kelley re-
peated that he was for county option
in discussing his motion and his friends
interpreted this to mean that he was for
home rule" but got mixed up on his
phrases. This being natural, as the other
members are divided on what Is home
rule. Several amendments were made to
abolish county assessors in the smaller
counties and most of the orators talked on
all the amendments Finally some bright
mind moved to lay all amendments on the
table,
THE motion is carried said Chairman
Killen. as practically all Of the members
voted in the affirmative, with Kelley yell
ing for a roll call. This was II. X. PA and
II was recommended for passage, followed
quickly by the same recommendation for

the revenue law relating to salaries OF
county assessors in the smaller counties.
Then came the wrangie. though short,
over H. r.. 1853, by Taylor OF Custer. This
provides for the appointment by the land
commissions of deputy state surveyors al
the cost Of those making application, to
settle boundary disputes.
Kelley moved to indefinitely postpone the
bill and Shoemaker moved TO let the gov
ernor appoint, and Kraus moved to table
6hoemaker's motion. So the house paid
no attention to any OF them, but recon.

Then came the game law bill by Noye

poned and that the house take up the meas
ure of Mr.. Noyes. The house accommo-
dated the gentleman from Douglas, as 1t
usually does when his measures are to be
killed. The fight on the Noyes measure
was to amend II to make an open season
for quail. But Scheele of Seward and others
came forward with words of praise for the
quail. SO the little bird will for the next
two years at least not go with the cold
bottle-if the bill becomes a law. The
amendments already agreed upon by the
committee, giving a months open season
for squirrels and providing for the use of
two-inch metsh net, were adopted.
Thomas of Douglas got through his bill
aimed to put the loan sharks where they
win do the least harm. 1t is II. r. 1874 and
1t provides that no salary assignment shall
be made except for salary already earned
nd with the permission Of the employer.
In case of a married man the wife must
sign the note. Shoemaker of Douglas Of
fered an amendment, which was> a new
bill. but when Thomas explained that the
Shoemaker measure was no good because
It would not square with the decisions of
the court, Shoemaker stood by with a brave
smile on his face and received not a second
to his motion, and the Thomas bill was
recommended for passage unanimously.
shoemaker might have made a speech on
the question. but Just at the psychological
moment Taylor of York offered a report
from the committee ION enrolled and en-
crossed bills. and when he finished the
house forgot to invite Shoemaker to pro-
coed.

When KiIlen got UP to stand for his II.
r. 81. providing for the gravity test for
kerosene and six deputy oil inspectors. He
had merely to remark that Mr.. Arthur
Mullen had agreed to the bill so no one
offered any objection and it received
favorable action.
Then the committee swung the ak around
and it struck in H. r. 102, by England.
This bill provided for the opening of fish
ways in dams. the work to be done under
the direction of the fish and game COM
mission. As that officer had been men
toned so frequently before in the dis
cussion Of the game bills, Nettleton of Clay
told the house he thought 1t time to, kill a
few of these game bills and in a very
noisy manner the house proceeded to exc
cute the measure.

They were represented by a solid

above the shrill notes of the whistles
