ney English IL that official is willing and
II he Is not. the attorney general. Il Is
held. as the chief law officer Of the state,
has the right TO go into any county in
the state and take such matters before
the grand jury or the court.
The principal complaints which II Is
expected to bring TO the attention OF the

liquor is sold in questionable resorts With
out payment of license, that the Sum
day and 5 O'Clock closing laws are ig-
nored, that money was corruptly paid In
connection with the procuring OF saloon
licenses, and that the social evil flour
ishes without let or hindrance.
Complaints OF Prize Fights.
There have also been some complaints
that prize fights have been pulled off In
Omaha and South Omaha. The sheriff

the principals IL they go over the line
into the realm Of fights. u
The governor had originally been urged
to appoint a special prosecutor to take
charge of these matters, but he was con-
WINGED he had no such authority and his
right to appoint anyone to assist the
county attorney was questioned unless
possibly IL was in response to the request
OF the county attorney. The matter In
this respect is similar to that OF EunIce

urged TO appoint an attorney to prosecute

NOT JUSTIFIED BY HEARINGS

WASHINGTON, Ian. 25.-The demo.
cratic iron and steel tariff revision bill
was fsvorably reported TO the mouse
today by Chairman Underwood Of the
ways and means committee. The repub'
liean members OF the committee vert
given the right 10 file an adverse re-
port. The committee had adopted the bill
by strict party vote.
"a survey Of the iron and steel indus,
try says the majority report filed with
the bill, shows convincingly that il has
reached position Of such strength and
Independence that the industry does moi
need the helping hand of the govern.
Inent in order to stand in competition with
foreign countries.
"The committee feels warranted in
recommending that the duties be placed
upon distinctly revenue basis
The report declares that the rates should
be made low enough to permit potential
competition from imports for the sake Of
natural and proper regulation of domestic
prices. and concludes:
st is believed that the rates provided
for In this bill are competitive and II
enacted would effect substantial econ
omy 10 the people greatly dlsproportion-
ate III its advantages to the apparent loss
OF revenue"
Minority Report Filed.
Later in ;he day the seven republican
members Of tbs committee filed their re-
port II declared that the steel schedule
should not be revised without report
from the tariff board and that the bill
was framed without hearings and was In
no way Justified by the full hearing
three years ago before the committee"
The minority sssailed the idea that the
schedule relates almost exclusively TO
goods manufactured by the United states
Steel corporation.
1T Is well known says the report,
that this corporation can produce iron
ard steel articles more chsspiy than any
other OF the numerous independent COM
panies, but IL does not lprodnee even 70
per cent of the iron and steel products Of
the country"
