MORE ABOUT NURSE BILL
Measure Barring ImpostOrs Projected
by State and Not Local
Association.

The bill to be introduced In the Nebraska
legislature to give a legal status to the
profession of nursing was not, as an i'm
preston has gone abroad, projected by the
Visiting Nurse association. but rather by
the Nebraska State Association of Gradu-
ate Nurses. 1t was enormously stated that
the Visiting Nurse association was the
author of the bill.
The passage OF this bill will not affect or
apply to the gratuitious nursing Of the sick
by friends or members of the family, or to
any person nursing the sick for hire who
does not assume to be a trained or regis
tered nurse.
1t is intended to give a legal status so
that the professional nurse will be the reg
istered nurse 1t will prevent a probationer
who was not accepted because OF unfitness,
or a pupil who was dismissed for just cause
| from posing as a graduate nurse. 1t is
drawn TO prevent the unqualified and the
INSCRIPTIONS from palming themselves upon
the public as duly qualified nurses.
Here is statement offered in support of
| the bill:
| In order that the graduates of any school
may meet the requirement OF a state law
they must be prepared to do so and ade-
quate instruction and opportunities must
be furnished. Physicians and patients de-
mand certain qualifications in a nurse, A
state law says IL nurse undertakes to dc
certain work under a certain title, that OF
Registered Nurse" she must come up to
the standard. This condition reflects back
to her school and compels 1t to make IL
possible for her to do so.
Modern medicine and surgery require that
| the nurse be something more than a ma
chine TO follow the orders of the physician
| and surgeon. She continues to follow or
ders, but she also knows the reasons for
them and must know when to anticipate
| them.

FOUR MURDERERS EXECUTED
GuilIotine Again Active I'm France
Under Recent Resolution of
Parliament.

TETHUNE, Pas de Calais. France. Jan
1.-THE first inflictions OF capital punish
ment in France for a number of years past
were witnessed In this town today, when
four murderers were decapitated by the
guillotine The execution took place in the
presence OF a large crowd. The four men
had formed band which had terroriSed
northern France and southern Belgium for
several years. robbing, assaultlng and MUIR
Caring at will.
As they were led out OF prison cries Of
yer geance arose from the crowd, and when
the knife fell four times in rapid success
sion the people present did mot hesitate to
eviI ce their satisfaction.
The French Parliament recently passed
a resolution In favor of the retention of
the death penalty in France and the cabi-
net a fortnight ago decided 10 carry out
Parliament's ruling. The law permitting
the infliction OF capital punishment has
been practically a dead letter, for II has
been the custom OF the president of the
republic to commute all death sentences to
rfe Imprisonment. There remain today
eighteen persons in France under sentence
OF death.
The condemned were ignorant up to a
short time before their execution that they

publican 10 occupy the office since 1871.
Wind and snow made the day uncomfort-
able. but despite wintry conditions the
program of a parade and review of the
state troops was carried out as planned.
The Inauguration took place 10 the hall OF
the house of representatives. the oath of
office being administered by Judge Henry
Lamm, the only republican member of the
supreme court of the state.
Governor Hadley reviewed briefly the ad-
mnistration of his predecessor, called at
tention to the changes in the system of
government in the state due to the adop-
tion of the initiative and referendum amend
ment at the November election and then
took up the questions Of home rule and law
enforcement.
"It has been asserted that home rule
means the abrogation or notification OF the
laws of the state, he said. "and particu-
larly the laws regulating dramshops in the
large cities Home rule means no such
thing AS said during the last campaign
''the laws providing for the regulation Of
dram shops will still remain the laws Of

are made in the laws so that the police

to the municipalities there should be some
reserved power" by which the state can
resume control should necessity arise.
The new governor gave his auditors to
understand that the laws regarding Sun
day closing OF saloons would be enforced
during his administration and he followed
the recommendation of Governor Folk that
laws should be passed prohibiting breweries
from holding interests, direct or indirect.
in saloons. He also recommended that the
abuses of the lid club" system be cor
rected by requiring "all clubs, of any char
acter. which dispense intoxicating liquors
to their members to pay license to the
state"
Statewide prohibition was condemned
and the residential rather than ward option
system recommended.

SHAWVAN RANTS AT BRYAN
Presidential Elector Uses Violent
Terms in Casting Electoral Vote.
REFERS TO BRYAN AS PoLECA7
Makes Scene at Meeting of Electors
in Lincoln Discipline of
HInky Dink and bath
House John.
tFrom a Staff correspondent)

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 11.-(Special.)-"I
would not go back on the candidate of the
party even II he is poiecat," declared
Douglas Shawvan, presidential elector, as
he voted for William j. Bryan for presi-
dent of the United States today. The cleo
tors met in Governor Shallenberger's Of
flee this morning and for two hours
Shawvan expressed his opinion of Bryan in
fervid and hectic language Incidentally,
"polecat was not the exact word he used
Scarcely anyone present at the meeting
was deceived as to Shawvans condition at
the time he made his attack on Bryan.
Shawvan's feelings were outraged be-
cause Bryan dictated tn election Of
Douglas Cameron as chairman of the Ne
braska Electoral commission and r. F.
watzke as messenger to carry the eight
votes of Nebraska to Washington.
Bryan goes up and down the land"
said Shawvan, talking equal rights for
all and special privileges for none, and
then he comes here with a compound
press and squeezes every bit of individu-
ality out OF the electors, making them all
bow to his nodding as mechanically as a
Punch and Judy"
Cameron and Watzke were elected as per
order from Fairview. but they did not get
the full vote OF the eight electors, Shaw
van abstained from voting, and It is said
that Sophus Nebe of Omaha also refused
to bow his head to the yoke. He and Shaw
van both voted for Bryan for president,
Shawvan at the time of balloting uttering
his opinion of Bryan as quoted above.
Bryan gave a dinner at noon to the cleo
tors, but Shawvan declined to sit in, say
ing that he preferred to pay for his own
meal. Shawvan's anger is partly due to
the fact that he feels entitled to some
recognition as having helped greatly to
carry Boone county for Bryan. He is an
old-line democrat and not a populist. He
trained under Bath House John and Hinky
Dink in Chicago.
The electors present included NJ. T. Har-
rington, H. r. Gering, r. F. Watzke,
Sophus Nehle, Douglas Shawvan, E. o.
Weber. A. d. Cameron and F. T. Swan
son.

Efforts to establish the cause of the
disaster are being made, but thus far few
of the theorists agree. Experts who had
inspected the mine after the recent fire in
It. declared It safe and full preparations
for a resumption of mining had been made.
The men killed yesterday were cleaning up
the last OF the debris left by the fire
fighters and 1t had been expected that coal
would be hoisted today.
The most widely accepted theory regard
ing the explosion regards It as the result
OF fire damp leaking from the sealed Dor
tion OF the mine and coming into contact
with a spark from an electric trolley. There
was but little damage to the workings and
It is likely that operations will be resumed
as planned at an early date.

OMAHA POLICE BOARD NAMED
Governor Decides Before Going to the
Banquet in Omaha.
KARBACH AND BRANDEIs THE MEN
Former Is Son of Former Member of
Board and Latter Is in the Coal
Business--Ap appointments Have
Raised n Storm.
tFrom a staff corrsspondent.,

LINCOLN, Jan. u.-fSDeclal Telegram)-
Before leaving for Onssha this afternoon
Governor Shallenberger announced the ap-
pointment of Charles Karbach and Carl
Brandeis as police commissioners for the
city of Omaha in place of Robert Cowell
and John l.. Kennedy. resigned This ac-
ton was taken at this time according to
the statement made by the governor, that
he anticipated II he did not act now he
would be besieged on arriving at Omaha
to attend the Jacksonian banquet and that
the warning factions would give him no
peace.
After this was made known someone in
Omaha called up Senator Howell on the
long distance telephone and heated con-
versation ensued. which, from the replies
was concerning the police board appoint.
ments and also the provision Of the charter
bill making the police board elective in
the future. Howell was doing his best to
explain things, but from the portion Of
the conversation heard at this end 1t was
evident that the party at the Omaha end
was not in a mood to accept the explana-
tions Offered.
1t is freely predicted here that instead Of
the governor relieving himself from EN-
barrassment by making the appointments
before leaving for Omaha that he has
simply injected himself into the center Of
miniature political tornado.
Carl Brandeis is a member Of the coal
firm of c. Brandeis & Co., with offices
at 9l2 South Fifteenth street. and Charles
Karbach is the son Of the police commits
sioner by the same name who served on
the old board appointed by Mayor Moores
and looks after the property of the family
There was no meeting of the Board of
Fire aid Police Commissioners last night
for the reason that quorum was not pos
sible.
Mayor Dahlman and Messrs. Kennedy,
Cowell and Page were present and a large
crowd was on hand TO hear the proceedings
in regard to several saloon and druggist
licenses. There was a well-founded rumor
however, to the effect that the overnor had
accepted the designations OF Mr. Kennedy
and Mr.. Cowell and they were in doubt as
to their right to act as members of the
board.
Mayor 'Dahlman finally got into commun-
ication with Governor Shallenberger by tel
ephone and was informed that the resigna-
tions had been accepted without qualiflca.
ton" This settled the matter, as the new
members had not qualified and were not
present and the absence of Mr.. Giller left
but two members. The business of the
evening went over therefore until next
Monday night, unless a special meeting il
called.
