The Government to Keep Faith.

Washington, Feb. 24-The bill pro-
viding for the payment Of overtime
claims of letter carriers excluded from
judgment or barred by limitation was
favorably reported by the senate COM
mittee on claims February 81. A sim.
liar bill will probably be considered
by the house committee on claims at
it's meeting next Monday. The car
riers had been informed officially by
the post department that the depart
ment would settle with them for over
time work, but it did not do so, and
when carriers brought suit in the court
of claims they were met with the plea
of the statute of limitations wherever
the pay had accrued more than six
years before they sued the govern
ment. The committee takes position
that as the postOffice department told
the carriers that it would pay, it is not
equitable for the government to plead
the statute of limitations to suit.

eERGE TO ENTER RACE.
Nebraska Democrat, Tired Of Running
for Governor, Will Try New Plan.

Lincoln, Feb. 24-George W. Berge,
three times a candidate for governor,
has about decided to switch, and is
getting ready to come out as sena-
torial candidate. Berge was nominal
ed in 1904, and made strong race
against Mickey. He was elbowed aside
in the two succeeding conventions for
Shallenberger, and has made up his
mind that if he gets into the race
again he would simply divide the coun-
ty option and temperance vote and per-
nit Mayor Jim Dahlman to walk off
with the gubernatorial nomination.
w. II. Thompson of Grand Island is
the only man who has so far announc-
ed himself as a candidate for the dem
ocratic nomination for senator, The
latest gossip is that Congressman
Hitchcock prefers his present certain
ty in the lower house to the chances
of losing out altogether
The one man that most of the can.
didates fear is former Senator w. "
Allen of Madison. Mr.. Allen insists
that he has given no one permission
to use his name as candidate, but
great deal of pressure is being brought
to bear to get him to announce him
self. Although populist, Allen has
very many warm supporters among
the democrats, and county leaders like
Ed. Falcon of Richardson county, de.
clare he would easily win.
Allen has been plugging steadily
away at the law ever since his retire
ment, and insists that he is happy and
prosperous and not particularly anx'
ious to get into the senate again by
way of terrific primary fight followed
by a partisan contest.

Special Bill for Nebraska Children.

Washington, Feb. "a. - Special to
The News: The house committee of
public lands agreed to make favor
able report on Representative Kin
kaid's bill to allow Fred K. and Lulu
Smith to remain upon the homestead
entered upon by their father some ten
years ago in Loup county, to live upon
the property and make certain i'm
provements and prove up within three
years. 1t appears the father of the
children, aged now 16 and II years
respectively, died about ten years ago.
The body of the homesteader, Smith
was buried upon his homestead and
the homestead and the children were
cared for by neighbors. The statute
of limitation ran against them as
heirs and 1t was found special act OF
congress would be necessary to pre-
vent the general land Office under the
law from ordering the cancellation OF
the entry.

4 new YORK SENSATION
LittIeton, for Aids, Promises Startling
Testimony.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 24.-The first
day of Senator lothian p. Aids reply
to the Conger bribery charges was less
a defense than at any time. Outline
of Aids case, laid before the senate
by his attorney, Martin w. Littleton,
was burst of denunciation. invictive
and accusation that, if proved, would
lay the bridge companies, one of the
most important industries in the state,
open to prosecution for both conspir
acy to defraud and legislative corrup-
ton.
In striking the bridge companies Lit
Teton hit also Senator Benn Conger,
who with his brothers stood high in
the counsel of the bridge building com
bine and still, it is said, retains an
interest in the business.
If Littleton carries out his promises
he will prove, first, that the Conger
charges and their support by Hiram G,
Moe are untruth; second, that Aids
activity in suppressing legislation hos
tile to the bridge companies in 1903
was due to the orders of United States
Senator Plat, the republican state
leader; third, that Conger's statements
are unworthy of belief and that testi,
mony of many of his witnesses, quite
as untrustworthy because they repre-
sented corrupt corporations which in
Littleton's own picturesque language
have laid trail of slime over five
states"
The afternoon was devoted to the
examination of the clerk of the assem-
bly,, internal affairs committee of 1901
in an effort to prove that Conger il
that year deliberately juggled certain
highway legislation until 1t came ou
OF the committee in a form that suiteC
the bridge interests.

OF INSURGENTS
HE WILL DICTATE DAKOTA CON.

OTHERWISE, HE'D PUNISH THEM
II the South Dakota Proeressives Fail
to Allow r. o. Richards to Run
Their Convention, He Announces
He'll Start independent Move.

Huron, S. d., Feb. 24.-To keep the
ranks of the insurgents united for the
battle against the stalwarts at the
coming state primary, the insurgents
of the state will be forced at their
conference today to accept the plat
form of X. o. Richards. That they
will accept is the belief of the pro-
gressive leaders already gathered
here.
Richards has announced that If the
progressives do not willingly take
over his platform he will be forced to
head a movement looking to carrying
out the advanced progressive policies.
Richards, through the leaders, will
submit resolutions asking that the
office holders of the state be placed
on a civil service basis. Taft will be
endorsed but in no rousing fashion.
Cannonism and Aldrichism will be de-
nounced.
No party ticket will be named on
the conference floor but the record of
Governor Wesley will come in for
commentator, and by agreement
candidates will be brought out to rep.
resent the prog. eseives for eleven Of
fees at the primaries.
John Shrader of Rapid City will
have the progressive support for con
gress and Thomas Thorson is spoken
of as possible congressional candi-
date. AS yet the rest of the plate is
undetermined In all probability a
state committee will be named on the
conference floor in the afternoon to
lead the progressive fight.

MOUHIEO POLICE ARRIVE
200 Picked Regular Army Veterans
Help Maintain Order in Strike.

Philadelphia, Feb. 24.-Mounted and
amply equipped for any kind of SER
vice, the four companies of the Penn
sylvania state police, numbering 200
men, arrived here today ready to as
sist the local authorities in maintain.
ing order while the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company attempts to operate
it's cars. The troopers are all picked
men, veterans of the regular army,
who have seen riot duty in all parts of
the state. Their presence Is expected
to have a salutary effect upon the law
less element that has been wrecking
street cars in different sections of the
city.
The first attempt to operate cars at
night since last Saturday will prob
ably be made by the company this
evening.
The movement started yesterday by
prominent churchmen to bring about
arbitration is regarded as an encour-
aging sign by the strikers who all
along have claimed that all they de-
sire is fair arbitration of their griev-
ances.
The rapid transit officials maintain
there is nothing to arbitrate. They
say they would not take back any of
the strikers if they were willing to re-
turn, and say further they have enough
men to operate all their cars if they
are given the proper protection. The
heavy sentences inflicted upon some
of the rioters in the courts yesterday
