A SPECIAL SESSION
MI. BRYAN SEES WoRK FOR NE.
DRAsKA LEGISLATORS.
INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM
Letter TO Democratic Members Ask.
ing Their Views In Reference
to the Proposed Extra Session.

Hon. w. J. Bryan has mailed let.
ter to all democratic members of the
last Legislature asking them If they
will support an initiative and refer
endum resolution for the submission
of a constitutional amendment to
that effect at the general election
this fall.
He has also asked J. II. Mockett.
Jr., president of the Nebraska Direct
Legislation league to get poll of the
republican members. The letter f0T
most part follows:
My Dear Sir: The failure of the
legislature to submit the initiative
and referendum ut its regular session
has brought county option-which is
direct legislation--into the present
campaign. and this question Is draw.
ing attention from national issues. 1t
Is unfortunate that this should be the
case at this time when six congress.
men are to be elected, and when a
senator Is to be chosen by the next
legislature.
Unless the mistake made by the
legislature can be remedied, our par
ty will be confronted by very seri
Gus situation. II might promise In its
platform to submit the initiative and
referendum at the next session. but 1t
could hardly expect to be trusted to
submit the measure next ime II with
a democratic governor, senate and
house IL Is unable to do so now, un-
less 1t declares It's independence of
special interests.
In my opinion the best way to meet
the situation is by the submission Of
the initiative and referendum by n
called session OF the legislature and
| have no doubt that Governor Shall
lenberger will call such special ses.
sion II assured that majority of
both houses will support the initia-
tive and referendum resolution,
which will give to the people the
legislative machinery through which
they could legislate upon any ques.
ton in which they are interested. A
called session would also doubtless
ratify the income tax amendment.
II 1t Is not possible to submit the
initiative and referendum for ratifica-
tion as constitutional amendment
at the election this fall, nothing Is
left for our party to do but to de.
clare for the initiative and referen.
dun and county option In its state
platform this summer. In order to
ascertain whether an initiative and
referendum resolution would pass in
case of special session being called,
take the liberty of submitting the
question to you and to the other dem.
ocratic members of the senate and
house Please wire me at once. at
my expense, whether you would be
willing to support such resolution
at a special session.
In a written statement regarding
his letter to democratic members, Mr.
Bryan says: 81 hope that the dem
ocratic and republican papers that IA
vor the initiative and referendum
will take the matter up and urge the
passage of the initiative and referen-
dun resolution. 1t might be well for
the committeeman and all others,
both democrats and republicans, who
are interested in the present cam
paign, to see these senators and men,
bers who didn't support the meas
ure at the last session and point out
to them the Importance of the special
session.

FEAR REVIVED THAT GATUN DAM

Mary Small Towns Are Damaged and Crockery Is Shattered in
 Colon Homes.

Colon, Dec. 29.-EaTthquakes of con- siderable severity have caused alarm in the provinces of Chisqui, Veraguas and Los Santos, 150 to 200 miles from Panama City. A series of severe shocks was felt throughout December 20 and 21 Each shock was sharp and heavy. The city of David was dam aged most. It is built of stone, while smaller towns near by are of wood construction.
 Earthquakes are frequent, even in Colon, but they are not so severe and long continued as these. At the most they break a little crockery and tip over chairs. But recent upheayals have brought to the surface the ever latent dread that the canal may be damaged by some cataclysm of the sort.
 The greatest danger to the canal would be at the locks of Gatun. Paraiso and NIiraaores. Construction men, employed at Gatun, have stated openly that the massive concrete locks being built at that point continually are settling. causing large cracks to appear,

 The Perry centennial commission is composed of 60 members representing ten states President Taft is 2 mem Der of the Ohio contingent C which Governor Harmon is the heal. The plan of the commission is t. erect a building overlooking Lake Erie which will serve several purposes It is planned to make it monument to Perry, a lighthouse, a United States meteorological station and a wireless telegraph base. The commission points out the fact that the lakes are without adequate protection, so far as life-saving equipment is concerned, and that a wireless base at Sandusky would be of great benefit to naviga. tors.
 It is also planned to hold an exposi- ton at the time of the centennial at Putin-Bay.
