Powell made a happy speech. eulogizlng
Mr., Roosevelt and wishing him a good
voyage, and his remarks were received
with applause. Mr.. Roosevelt answered in
a brief and characteristic address.
Later the party repaired to the main sa-
loon, where ices were served by the ships
stewards, dressed up as neptunes and
other fantastic characters. All the lights
had been turned low and the effect was
weird. This entertainment was followed by
a dance, at which Mr.. Roosevelt danced
with Miss Ruth Draper. Before withdraw
ing for the night Mr.. Roosevelt appeared in
the smoking room and chatted with the
passengers for twenty minutes.
Denies Report of Assault
In the party that went out to the Ham
burg to welcome Mr. Roosevelt were
Thomas R. Geary, the, American vice con-
sui at Malaga, Spain, and a British naval
officer who represented Admiral Goodrich,
the British naval commander.
Al the residence OF Mr.. Sprague Mr..
Roosevelt was greeted by a gathering OF
the Americans in Gibraltar. on being con-
graduated on his escape from assault at
the hands of an Italian passenger on board
the Hamburg. Mr.. Roosevelt gave immedi-
ate and emphatic denial to this report. He
added that when this false report came to
his ears he at once visited all the steerage
passengers and shook hands with them.
Accompanied by Mr.. Sprague, Mr.. Roose-
welt then called upon General Forester
Walker
This was at 1880. Cordial greetings were
exchanged between the governor OF Glib
raltar and the former president.

house by a standing committee. This re-
suited in some of the best members hav-
ing no craftsmanship and thus their serv-
ices were lost to the state. The speaker
was unable to even control the house and
keep order during the session, though he
did try.
The bank guaranty bill is said by leading
democrats to be Of no account
The reciprocal demurrsge bill amounts TO
nothing.
The pledge for economical appropria-
tons has fizzled out, dependent upon what
the governor does.
The platform pledge OF the populists for
county option was turned down cold.
The platform provision with respect to
good roads, which was promibed as one of
the things greatly to be desired. failed
completely, and while there were bills
drafted which provide for a Comprehensive
system of road Improvement under a def
mite head the only measure to pass the Leg
~islature bearing on this question was one
little one-section measure permitting the
county commissioner to fix the boundaries
of road districts as they desire and limiting
their size. Everything else was killed.
The platform pledged the democratic
party to remedial revenue legislation, but
when the members began to consider the
merits of the case about which they made
such a commotion during the campaign
they found the present law with respect to
the State Board OF Equalization was abso-
lutely good and they passed an amendatory
act that is intended to throw dust in the
eyes OF the people and which gives to the
state board the powers they exercise al
present, but pretends to do otherwise. The
bills providing for the election of precinct
assessors every two years went through,
but 1t is generally regarded that this is a
distinct movement backward and a means
to open the way to the corporations to re-
turn to the old tax-shirking methods from
which the republican party extricated the
state.

Kaw City to
Gulf Route

KANSAS CITY, April Am order for
$500 tons of steel rails was given yesterday
by the Mexican & Orient Railroad com.
pany. The rails are to be used in the
construction OF a track to connect San
Angelo and Sweetwater. Tex, a distance
OF s~eventy-seven miles. Work will be begun
on the track construction the first Of next
week.
This new line will bring San Angelo in
direct connection with Kansas City, elm
mating the necessity OF going around by
way of Fort Worth. Tex. and shortening
the distance approximately 200 miles. 1t
also makes a continuous line from Wichita,
Kan.

the members of the legislature made
themselves hoarse, was finally pushed
through in the form the corporations
permitted and only when they said the
word, but so emasculated that it pro-
vides for the expenditure OF $50, 900 of
money in the next biennium for a result
that is extremely p~roblematical. The bill
was amended to include common carriers
and that portion of the stock yards known
as the switching department, together
with the transportation pens for stock
only and the viaducts covering the tracks.
The yards themselves. for which Taylor
of Custer made so many battles, escaped
inclusion, and when the vote was taken
Senator Ransom, with the stock yards
regulation bill safely dead, leaned back
in his seat and smiled a smile of salts
faction as he looked over to Senator Oils,
the only senator registering as a populist
in the Thirty-first session OF the legis-
lature, who has stood firmly by the dean
of the Douglas delegation In his fight
for the corporation for which he boosted
openly on the floor in debate he was the
attorney and which he represented as an
attorney before the senate committee that
was giving a hearing to the stock yards
regulation bin OF blessed memory.
NO Valuable LegIsIation.
No bill of any Importance to the state in
sofar as improving existing laws is con-
cerned was passed. A careful investigation
of the bills now in the hands Of the gov
ernor and those which nave been signed
will show them to be the poorest and
most carelessly drawn of any bills which
have passed a previous legislature.
The Legislature was controlled from the
outside and the few members who had the
ability and the intention to do something
for the good of the state were overwhelmed
long ago.
Ransom was the boss of the senate and
he is the attorney for the stock yards. He
appeared before the legislative committees
in the interest of his clients. Taylor of
Custer OF the house led the fight against
Ransom and he proved himself a better
citizen and a legislator than a politician,
but he was powerless to cope with the
gigantic machine builded up on the other
side.
Rumors of all kinds affecting the stand
ing of the upper house were circulated and
printed but were not called. Oils of Val
ley county insisted upon an investigating
committee TO clear the railroad committee
of the charge OF being dominated by the
railroads. The committee never met. Mr..
Oils failed to get his whitewash.
Not all the member Of the legislature
were bad by any means. Some individual
members did the best they could against
odds. There were a lot of good men on the
payroll, but as a whole the legislature has
been one Of the rankest IL not the very
worst ever held in Nebraska.
The republicans took little part in the
affairs OF the session. They were outnum-
bered and did the best they could, but
none rose to any great height above his
fellows, though most of them were usually
found voting right and in line with the
legislation of two years ago.

briefly to say that the attempt TO saddle

Guiding metropolitan cities, he said there
would be little objection TO it from Doug

Senator King replied it was impossible
to suspend the operation Of a criminal
law from any portion Of the state, and the
roll call was ordered. ~"
Provisions of Bill.
Following is the vital provision of the
bill;
Section 14-Every person who shall sell
or give away any malt, spirituous or vim
Gus liquors or any intoxicating drinks on
the day of any general. special or primary
election, or at any time during the first
day of the, week, commonly called Sun

following day shall forfeit and pay for
every such offense the sum OF 800, and
his license shall be forfeited and can
celled by the board granting the same
forthwith, whether such person convicted
shall appeal therefrom or not.
Comparison of Two Sessions.
Just as the legislature OF 1907 will be re
membered for the good work IL accom-.
plished and the wholesome legislation Il
enacted, so will the legislature of 1909 b.
referred to as the most disappointing in tn,

who expected something wholesome and
good.

riers OF Nebraska until It had been amend
ed to suit the common carriers.
The legislature devoted it's time to the
passage of bills under. which Governor
Shallenberger could build up a political
machine for the benefit of the democratic
party. There is now in the hands Of the
governor at least a score of bills which
provide jobs for jobless democrats.
From the first time the gavel fell in the
legislature of 1909 it has been a scramble
for the pie counter. The scramble was
unseemly and all regard for the welfare
of the state was lost sight of in providing
places for those who voted the democratic
ticket.
Arthur Mullen. an appointee OF Governor
Shailenberger. drawing 5000 a year from
the state. had special charge OF this class
of legislation, and looked after the interest
of the chieftain. -
While the legislature probably will be
referred to often as the Organization for
the relief Of jobless democrats it also
marks Mr.. Bryan's first practical test in
constructive craftsmanship in Nebraska.
Mr.. Bryan had fun sway and ne is to
blame for the action of the legislature.
When 1t came to a test between those
AiAb NhO NoAA az W w RoAAAS
| thing for the betterment Of the state and
the interests of the corporations Mr.. Bryan
was found wanting. He agreed to the bill
to guarantee BAN deposits and endorsed
1t. It was denounced on the floor OF the
house by w. j. Taylor of Custer county,
a democrat. as an instrument having been
I amended in the interests of the national
banks.
Loses on referendum
Mr.. Bryan did not fight the measure,
but when the time came he surrendered.
He did fight for the initiative and refer
endum, but he made this fight long after
the members of the legislature had begun
to lose faith in his ability and his in
fluence had gone.
Mr.. Bryan was responsible for the Sc
lection OF the standing committees of the
