The house then adjourned until II O'Clock

After adjournment Griffen Of Burt county
jumped on Taylor for being the first man
to always insist upon the rules and the
first man to break one. This led to quito
a little argument. during which Taylor
expressed himself along these lines:
'This bill is i-nconsequential. Yesterday

busy with a lawyer whose time is valu-
able. The sergeant-at-arms rushed into

into a sergeant-at-arms and was again
hailed into the house. While there is a

never been enforced and never will be.

Of the Douglas county delegation will the

mission OF Omaha appolntive instead of
elective remained in the city today to labor
with the delegation about the proposed
chnage in the charter. The senators fore
stalled a fight in the senate by reporting
the bill before the Dahlmanites came down
to push their claims, so now the work must
be done with the house members particu-
larly, though of course the entire delegation
still has the say.
The plan is to get the South Omaha
members to agree to anything the nine
Omaha members agree to with regard to
the Omaha charter on the agreement the
Oaha ebers will vote for any kind Of a
charter the South oaha member want.
South Omaha has no particular fight for an
appointive board and the members there
are solidly tied up in favor of an elective
board. The Omaha members stand four for
an appointiye board and four against,
with Representative Butt on the fence, but
inclined to support the elective plan, though

pointive plan II he sees that the remainder
OF the delegation will stand by majority

ton. >..sE (. -n5f5 81,
In fact the Dahlmanites want the Doug

members decide on the Omaha charter, the
five being a majority OF the members from
oaha. No definite sgreeent was reached
today. There 10 no doubt q ajority OF the
entire delegation would Influence the entire
number. but the proposition of q majority
Of the Omaha ruling the delegation on the
Omaha charter is more difficult to nesoti-

not lost hope and even indicate that things
are progressing favorably, They profess
that there will be no trouble securing an

history OF the state under a call OF the
house following a recess from yesterday.
the house ate out OF the hand Of w. j.
Taylor and the passed the Sink bill to
regulate hotels.
MIR. Taylor refused TO vote on the bill,
defied the house to make him vote. and
then was excused from voting by the
house.
When the house convened at 10 O'Clock,
following the recess OF yesterday, Brown Of
Lancaster moved to raise the call of the
house. The motion was carried and the roll
call interrupted yesterday was again
started.
When the name Of Raines of Webster
was called Mr.. Ralnes announced that he
had been excused all day Tuesday and
therefore he was still absent and would
pass. Griffen Of Burt said the same thing
and he passed. Taylor OF Custer said moth
ing. but passed when his name was called.

put by the speaker and then said;
II want TO inquire after the house re-

That seemed to stump the house and
great silence fell upon the members. broker
at last by Taylor again:

Howell's bill to repeal the sackett law,
one similar to which was recently killed
In the house, was discussed for a time in
the senate today and final action was de-
ferred. The bill was first on general file
and Senate Howell moved 1t be recon-
mended for passage, when Senator King
called the attention of the senate to the
character of the bill, after which Senator
Howell explained 1t more in detail. He
said he was representing his constituents
when he asked for the repeal Of the law.
He said it made it difficult to get officers
to have IN act on the books that n~ecessi-
tated them enforcing all blue laws or to be
subject to removal from office on COM

disposition to enter into a serious discus

passed over until a later date.
