BERGE KICKS UP USUAL ROW
(From a Staff Correspondents }


LINCOLN, Jan 9-(Special. 1.-THE two
committees on standing committees which
are endeavoring to make assignments in
both branches Of the legislature are still
busily engaged at the work.
1t is understood that the democratlc
majority is willing to act very nicely to-
ward the republican minority and that
the latter will find themselves well taken
care of.
The only fault finding so far has been
by George w. Berge. the self-appointed
guardian angel Of the democratic party.
He failed to hear all of the governor S
message and rushed into print this morn
ing with a criticism Of the governor be
cause he failed to make Mr.. Berge listen.
Just Family Row.
Mr. Berge accuses the governor of skip
ping part of the message. This related
to public service corporations and was
added after the advance copies of the
message had been furnished the news
papers. However, the manuscript used by
the governor contained that recommenda-
ton and the same appeared in the pamph-
4 let placed on the desk of the governor
and distributed to the public.
The part of the message which Mr..
Berge accuses the governor of leaving out
is as follows, taken from the manuscript
used by the governor;

Woman's Health

Women are so constituted as to be peculiarly susceptible to consti- patton, and their general health depends in large measure on care full regulation and correction of this tendency. Their delicate orr ganisms rebel at the violence Of cathartic and. purgative remedies, which. while they may afford tenn porary relief, shock the system and seriously disturb the function al organs. A mild laxative Is far preferable and, if properly com pounded, much more effective.

It never pays to tell a lie, but on the contrary it usually brings pun ishinent in some form. This was demonstrated this morning in the Berlin court when John Lynch charged with vagrancy, was given fif- tech days in jail for untruthfulness |fhy Judge George Griswold. John Beaty and Charles Higgins. two of his Companions arrested on the same charge. were given fiften days In lail. but sentence was suspended pro yided they left town at once.

Ritchie made a raid last evening kbetween the hours of 9 and 10 and ythe trio were rounded up as a re- sult.s> At the time of their arrest they were peacefully slumbering in e freight car nearby. They objected Considerably when so rudely awak- *ened. John Lynch was particular by incensed over being awakened and Inc tipbraided the officers of the law with language that was by no means nilds~
 When given chance this morning o defend himself Lynch had evident- y had his little say last night as he told the court that he wished to to kay nothing at all. However under Examination by Prosecutor William F. Gibney he told a story that did Everything but hitch together. He laid that he was 46 years Of age nd that he lived in Waterbury. When uesMoned by Prosecutor Gibney why e told him last night that he re- Eideds in East Hartford he said that Ae could not remember saying any ash thing When asked what trcct he lived on in Waterbury the nswer was Forrest street When hc prosecutor commenced to write 3n name down Lynch decided that l1c ad movod md gave his new resi- cnco az Bank street.

and his forehead was scared in sev- eral places. He said that he had been hoboing for twelve years. since he had met with an accident which had resulted in his pitiful condition.
 He related a heartbreaking story of how he fell into fire and was ter- ribly burned. His health has been so poor since his unfortunate accident, which cost him one of his arms, that he could not work and naturally took to hoboing. He said that he had sister in Lynn, Mass.
 Charles Higgins the third mem-' Der, was purely a victim of circum- stances. He went on drunk Sat- urday night and fell in with Lynch and Beaty and when invited to bunk over with them until Monday, when he would return to his home in Plantsvile, where he works, he ac- cepted the generous invitation. He is a painter by trade. He was very profuse in thanking the court when allowed his freedom and he at once left the town by, the way of the shoe leather express.
 Molumphy's crossing, where the trio were arrested, is one of the most up-to-date hobo camps in the state. It is fitted up with all the modern camp utensils.
