Bv a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb. Feb 12.-Observing
Lincolns birthday, a legal holiday,
the house today took an afternoon off
from its duties as a whole deliberative
body. number Of committee meetings
were held, the most important Of which
considered the various road laws during
the afternoon.
Representative Porter OF Douglas
county heldSpublic obsequies over his pro-
portional representation bill in the house
this morning and he seemed to be the
sole mourner.
Jerry Howard made one more attempt
to get the house to go on record on his
resolution Incorporating an editorial
from the Omaha Bee counseling against
the establishment OF a state constabulary.
Jerry's resolution gave the Bees edi-
torial an extra sting, as his interpreta-
tion was that 1t referred to the packers
whom Jerry characterized as "bueca-
neers." Most of the members refrained
from voting and the 16 who stood against
his resolution he referred to as the Cor
poration representatives" This drew a
hearty laugh.
A petition was read in the senate from
the Omaha Woman's club asking the SEN
ate to safeguard the states water power
rights and also 10 encourage their de-
velopment. Another petition, signed by
over 1900 people, protesting against the
siman bill, abolishing the use OF foreign
language In parochial schools, was read
and referred to the committee on eduea-
tion.
