BOSTON, April 1.-THE telephone
strike assumed a new phase today with
the entry into the fight of thousands of
men, members of unions affiliated with
the telephone operators. Claim was
made by operators that the greater
number of the 10000 cable splicers,
test room men and other male associ-
ates had Joined them and that further
support would be forthcoming.
Cooks and walters of union local 81
of Boston notified hotel men that none
Iof its $500 members would serve strike
breakers received at hotels. Funds to
the extent of S2s, 900 were pledged to
help the operators.
Another appeal was made to Presi-
dent Wilson this afternoon. Frances j.

GOVERNOR RIGGS TELLS
 OF IMPROVEMENTS AT s NEW TOWN OF HYDER

The construction of a government dock at Hyder under the forestry bu- reau is under consideration and is being urged by Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr. While at Ketchikan re- gently, Governor Riggs went into the matter with the forestry officials there and it is thought that money can be secured for that purpose.
 "The Canadian government is put ting up a dock between Stewart, B. G. a mile or 2 mile and a half from Fly der and Hyder, and MT. Neil of the Premier mine has a dock site To- cated at Hyder and is willing to CO., operate with the government" Gov ernor Riggs told the Juneau Empire. "He has already spent $80000 on roads in Hyder.
 "A townsite has been laid out by a MT. Lindeborg, who is selling lots in the tOwnsite. The forestry service has divided the land outside of the townsite into lots which it is leasing to those who will improve the land at $5 a year a lot.
 "Hyder is about 140 miles from Ketchikan, one and one-half miles from Stewart, B. C., and about 100 miles from Prince Rupert.
 There are now about 200 people iii Hyder and about 200 more in the hills around the town, in the mines or prospecting, as we'll as many more who are continually dropping in. l think undoubtedly there will be a rush into Hyder next spring.
 "A number of mining engineers are there looking over properties. A number of properties have been bond ed to Eastern capitalists and pro- motors.
 The greatest needs at Hyder at present are a United States commits sioner, a deputy United States mar sha1 and a customs official.
 The Canadian government has spent $5O,O0O on a wagon road from Stewart to the boundary line and also $25,O0O on a road up the Cana dian side of the line up the Salmon river.
 "A cooperative agreement has been entered into by the territorial bureau of public roads and the Alaska road commission to build road from Hyder to the boundary line to sup pIement the work done by MT. Neil y

BANKING BILL
GIVEN BIG DOSE
OF CHLOROFORM
In Favor Of Restraining Banks
to Legitimate Activities
Would Stop Robbing Of
Estates on Side.
BY a Staff Correspondent

Lincoln, Jan. 3l.-A huge dose of
chloroform was administered to the
bill introduced by A. 0. Smith of
Rock county and known as House
Roll No. 222, despite its cabalistic
combination of numbers, in the aft
erfloon session of the house.
In the killing of the bill the per-
sons opposed to it put themselves
on record as favoring a policy to
restrain banks to their legitimate
activities and not permit them to
wander into other ventures far
aheld from banking.
The bill was for the purpose of
clothing state bank corporations
with the power of acting as admins
traitor, executor, guardian, curator
or conservator of the estates of de-
ceased persons, insane persons or
habitual drunkards when so ap-
pointed by a court of record.
Jeary of Lancaster scented dan
gerous power in the bill and moved
that it be indefinitely postponed.
Good of Nemaha stated that
bankers already exercise these func-
tons and he could see no evil in ex-
tending the power to the corpora
ton as we'll as to natural person,
especially as bank was so strongly
capitalized and financially response
Bile.
Byrum Of Franklin said the banks
were becoming oppressive in his
section of the country by their en-
croachments into other lines of bus
mess. 1T is their plan in this, as
in many other instances" said he,
ito get hold of other peoples money
and use it without paying interest"
Good said if banks became admin
istrators they would have to employ
attorneys.
"If we are going to let the banker
get grab at estates, and he is going
to let the lawyer get a grab, too,

what will be lefti" inquired Hardin
of Harlan.
Wildman, Of York, interjected:
1--WE are centralizing power in the
hands of the banks. Trust compa-
nies are already acting as administra-
tors. Why not let the corporations
do our business for US altogether
It is time to cali halt"
Banks are into everything up
our way, from dog fights to real es-
tate" said Stats, Of Dodge.
Willing to Be Liberal
II am willing to be liberal in this
matter" said Rodman of Kimball.
Il am willing to permit all corpora
tons to have the powers Of admin
istrators and executors. For in
stance the non-partisan league is in
corporated. Let us clothe it with
this power" -..-
Fults of Furnas cited the case of
where a banker in Gage county, a
short time ago, had become an exc
cutor of an estate in which there was
an item of large sum of cash on
time deposit, drawing 4 per cent.
The banker checked out the money
and placed it on open account, thus
stopping the interest accumulations.

Towards anti-nepotism bill, House
Roll No. IL, is finding pretty hard
Shedding and its author is having
the time of his life in getting it be-
fore the house for engrossment and
third reading.
In the morning session, Foster of
Douglas moved that the bill be re-
committed to the committee of
privileges and elections for further
consideration. Howard was inn
mediately on his feet and made a
substitute motion that the bill be
engrossed for third reading.
Mears of Wayne moved substi-
tute to the substitute that the bill be
indefinitely postponed. This pre-

JENKINS SAVES
pet BILL FROM
POSTPONEMENT
Asks for Appropriation Of
$4,000 to Establish Fish
and Game Preserve; Use
Birds to Fight HOppers.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 3l.-Springing
the theory that game preserve for
the propagation of Chinese and
Hungarian pheasants, quails, prairie
chickens and grouse would go far to-
ward the abatement of loss to the
farm crops of Nebraska by the dep
relations of grasshoppers, amount
ing to an average sum of S2,500000
per annum, Representative Jenkins
rescued his pet bill from indefinite
postponement today.
jenkins is asking for an appropria-
ton Of $4,000 for the establishment
of fish hatchery and game preserve
in Dundy county.
The committee of finances, ways
and means recommended that his
bill be indefinitely postponed, and
speaking in favor Of the measure and
asking that the house override the
committee he made the plea that as
game and insectivorous birds de-
crease the loss Of wealth by grass
hopper depredations increase.
Tracewell, speaking on the meas
ure, said the game preserve on the
Fort Niobrara reservation, near Val
entine, had been failure and that

Towards Anti-Nepotism
Bill Having Hard Shedding

the bill had several unfair provisions.
Jeary of Lancaster said that the
bill would prohibit the employment
of q sheriff's wife as matron of a
Jail and would interfere with the
employment of wives of executives
of some of the state institutions in
the capacity of matrons, where such
employment would be in the inter-
est OF counties and the state and
would not violate the spirit of a
fair anti-nepotism bill.
1t was called to the attention of
the house that Foster of Douglas
had introduced a bill that was a
strong measure and yet was fair in
all respects.
The motion to postpone the bill
indefinitely was lost, but the motion
to recommit it to the committee for
further consideration carried by a
practically unanimous vote.
Members all declared they were
against nepotism where abuses
could be created. but they favor
bill that will make exceptions that
will not debar' wives of sheriffs or
superintendent Of state institutions
from having their wives act as ma
irons.
