mended for Passage.

Lincoln Feb. 1.-THE senate has
passed Millers bill requiring one
years residence before action for di.
vorCe can be started. 1t also requires
personal service of notice. The bill
has not had much opposition and ap.
parently will pass the house and be-
come law.
Representative Groves anti.treat
bill did not come up in the house, al.
though the judiciary committee has
recommended 1t tor passage. lndiCa.
tions are that the prohibition forces
will center their efforts on this bill
and not attempt more drastic legisla.
tion at this session. Several other
bills are now before both houses, but
they are apparently buried for the
session.
The senate in committee of the
whole agreed to the bill by Banning
permitting county commissioners in
small counties to draw 81 day and
mileage, instead of 49, and also agreed
to Senator Donohoe's bill providing
that supreme, district and county
judges, regents of the state university,
the state superintendent of public in.
structiOn and county uperintendents
shall be nominated and elected by pc.
tition and shall not be on party tickets.
Senator Volpp introduced a bill for
the taxation of real estate mortgages.

on third reading and will go to the

the two houses of the legislature

ness and the guaranty OF Dank deposits
| The bill will be introduced in the
house today and an effort will be
made to advance it as rapidly as pos
sible. 1t bears the emergency clause,
SO that it can be made operative i'm,

SHORTAGE IN CITY FUNDS
Baltimore Clerk Accused Of Embez-

Baltimore, April 2.-William F..
Downs, a clerk in the Office of the city
register, was held in $4,000 bail for
q hearing on a charge of embezzle-
ment of funds belonging to the city.
Further: probing into the matter ap-
pears to reveal an even worse state
of affairs in the city hall than had
been expected. States Attorney
Owens stated in asking that Downs
be held that the amount taken from
the city probably would amount to
100000. City Solicitor Poe stated
that in all 100 charges Of larceny will
be preferred against Downs.
Investigation of various accounts al
ready shows apparent shortages
amounting to $e7,l26, and it is said
that there are more. Mayor Mahool
has engaged an audit company to
make thorough examination of the
books of the city register.

House Fixes Date for Acting on
/, Payne Tariff Bill
COMMITTEES RULE ADOPTED
Opportunity Given to Alter Hide
/ and Lumber Schedules.

Washington, April 6.-Three o'clock
p. M, April 8, was the time set by the
house for a vote on the Payne tariff
bill. The long expected resolution
from the committee on rules closing
general debate, providing for certain
committee amendments and full and
free opportunity to alter the lumber
and hides schedules, was reported
and adopted with sixteen votes to
spare, Notwithstanding the desertion
Of twenty Republicans. Four of the
sixteen votes came from the Louisiana
delegation, which likewise broke away
from their party. Previous to the
adoption of the resolutions there was
scme severe criticism of it from the
Democratic side.
Aside from the interest which at
tached to this proceeding was the
speech of Mr.. Clark of Florida, who
denounced Bryan and Organism, Popu-
Lists and Populism, and who declared
that he would support the Payne bill
If it contained what his constituents
wanteG-a duty on sea island cotton
and protection for citrus fruits, pine
apples, etc. His remarks led him in
to an exciting colloquy with Mr. RAN
dell of Texas and other Democrats,
but he declared that having been in
etructed by the legislature Of his
state and his constituents as to the
stand he should take on the articles
mentioned, he would not violate his
solemn obligation to them. His whole
attitude was one of defiance to the
Democrats of the house. Before the
rule was reported there were numer-
Gus speeches on the bill, those occupy
ing the floor being Messrs. Bartlett
(Ga.), Calderhead (Kan.), Burgess
(Tex), Stanley (Ky.), Hobson <Ala.),
Gillespie (TeX.), Thistlewood Qn),
