of securing a pardon and partly to al
low the governor to use his discretion
in pardoning a criminal under death

having absolutely to pardon them.

the present law. and aeyond asking

Charte Bill Goes On General File.
The Lincoln charter bill was re-
ported Friday morning in the house
from the committee On cities and
towns, and went to the general file
to be reached in order. The file is al.
ready well laden.
AS reported the charter bears an
amendment providing that it be sub
mitted as whole to the people of
the city for ratification. No minority
report was made by the Lancaster
county and other members of the
committee who oppose this action, as
had been talked Of 1t was thought
that this matter could be more ap-
propriately and properly fought out
on the floor of the house when the
bill comes up for consideration in
the committee of the whole. 1t is
argued that no other charter for Lin
coin at any previous session nor any
charter for any othe:: city at this or
any other session has been so sub
mitted. 1t Is also commended that there
is no legal provision for such submis-
sion, and that such an amendment
would be invalid.

all of the deposits of government
funds in National banks subject to
check by the treasury of United

is held in active account and neces-
sary to meet checks Of government
disbursing officers and 100000

$1,000 lots in such Of the 1000 small
er national banks as desire to retain
their designation as national bank de-
positories. The working balance Is
more than $4S.OOO,OOO which will be
increased by the call to approximately
