LINCOLN. Feb. i9-CSpecial) -Repre-
sentatives sat back in their chairs today
and enjoyed the fun while DR.. Hoff-
neister Of Chase county was taking
hard fall out Of Dr. Meredith OF Saunders.
The tilt lasted for about three minutes
and resulted in killing Meredith's bill. II.
r. 323 to require the burial OF corpses
infected with contagious diseases in air
tight and water tight cement vaults or
steel cases.
As soon as the bill had been read DR..
Hoffmeister moved to indefinitely post
pone Il. Looking over at Dr. Meredith he
declared that anybody ought 20 know
that when a corpse IL buried six feet
under ground no germs can escape there
after.
This bill is in the interest of the under
taker trust the biggest trust in the
United States, was Hoffmeister's en-
phatic declaration.
Replying TO this attack, Meredith said
that many cemeteries have wells from
which water Is taken for drinking pur-
poses and that decomposed matter from
corpses il likely to find it's way into these
wells unless precautions are taken
against II. He did not believe the ,ex-
pense of providing vaults or steel cases
would be great.
There was no further discussion. The
vote to kill the bill was almost un-
animous and chairman Nichols, in COM
mittee Of the whole officially pronounced
it's demise.
