Contest Proceedings
for Seat in Senate
May Be Discontinued
From a Sac correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb. 7-Contest pro-
ceedings by w. ]. Broatch against
John M. Tanner for a seat in the
Nebraska state senate from Doug
las county will probably be dropped,
Chairman Saunders of the senate
committee on privileges and cleo
tons said this afternoon. In that
event Senator Tanner will retain his
seat as the only democrat from
Douglas county. The other three
members of the delegation are re-
publicans.
Chairman Saunders received a
letter from Mr.. Broatch this after
noon indicating that he did not care
to press the contest further unless
that committee threw out all Of the
soldier vote, which is in dispute.
The committee has not officially
acted, but several of the members
said they would not deem the show
ing sufficient to throw out all of the
soldier votes.
Only IL ballots have been thrown
out by the committee so far and
there is no way to determine for
which of the candidates these bal
lots were cast. They were not
counted in the committee canvass.
Broatch received SO soldier votes
and Tanner e. In the count made
by the election commissioners it is
presumed that the ballots were
counted, although there is no posi-
tive evidence either way.
During the count made by the
committee A. c. Paneoast, repre-
senting Mr.. Broatch, declared the
foreign and continental ballots
should be separated and both should
lose in the proportion to the num-
Der Of ballots received. This has
not been acted upon.
Chairman Saunders said the COM
mittee expected to take formal ac-
ton Monday.

Declare Heating
Changed His Name
to Avoid Creditors
By q Sac correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb. Am interesting
chapter in the life of Henry J..
Heating of Omaha, long well
known in the state as the secretary
of the Nebraska Retail Liquor
Dealers association, was revealed
in supreme court Friday morning,
when his appeal from judgment
of $4,000 rendered against him in
Douglas county was argued.
The judgment holder claims that
Keating's real name is Arthur ].
Heating, that he was formerly in
business in Chicago 20 years ago,
loaning money to city employees,
that he and his partner departed in
1900 and that Heating changed his
name so that his creditors could
not follow him and secure service
on him.
The statute of limitations does
not run against obligations of this
sort when such a state of facts ex-
ist, and it is upon this basis that the
judgment was asked and secured.
KeatingS attorney insisted that
there was no attempt at conceal
ment, that he attended family re-
unions at Chicago every Christmas
and that due diligence on the part
of his creditors would have located
him. The reason given for Keat-
ing's change of name is that he
didn't want his father to know that
he had gone into the saloon busi-
ness. 1t was in evidence that the
day the partners left Chicago he
had borrowed $4,000 from the city
comptroller's deputy, saying he
wanted to protect his bank account
from overdraft and that he would
return the money as soon as he
could cash salary warrants the firm
held. The partners went first to
British Columbia, there separating,
Heating finally landing in Omaha.
Testimony was introduced by
to show that he had not
attempted concealment of his true
name while in Omaha, that he was
known to hundreds as Art Heating
and that by reasonable diligence the
plaintiff could have discovered his
place of residence. Therefore the
statute of limitations bars recov-
cry. The plaintiff, it is alleged, is

may TAX LIBERTY
BONDS WRENPART
OF BANK CAPITAL
House Passes Measure Re.
CARELESS Of Ruling by Gov
eminent; Must Keep
Them in Separate List.
By a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 7.-Notwith-
standing the government of the
United States has declared Liberty
bonds non-assessable and non-tax-
able, the lower house of the Ne
braska legislature has ruled diff
ferently. ~. ..r
Osterman's bill, prohibiting the
deduction of such bonds from as
sessment and taxation when they
are a part of banks capital stock,
was up for passage during the morn
ing session.
Banker Explains.
Gearhart, a banker, voiced the
sentiment Of the banking delegation
in the house when, in explaining his
vote, he remarked: when the
United States government declared
Liberty bonds were non-taxable and
worcestershire, it meant exactly
what it said"
Osterman, whose name came far
down the line, explained his vote
and the purpose of the bill at the
same time. He said it was not the
intention of the bill to tax Liberty
bonds. 1t was meant, he continued,
to insure tax on the capital stocks
of banks and to prevent the sub
terfuge Of converting the same in
to Liberty bonds. If the banks did
not want their Liberty bonds taxed
all that it was necessary for them
to do was to keep them separate
and distinct from the capital stock.
Position of U. S.
The explanation, belated as it
was, had the immediate effect of
changing many negative votes in
its favor and it passed by a vote of
SIS to 81. 49,.
During debate the governments
position was set forth in a request
from the federal attorney general
to United States District ATTORNEY
Allen to act as intervenor in the
Aurora bank case and to file brief
in the state supreme court in sub
sanitation of the banks contention
that it had a right to deduct its
Liberty bonds from the capital
stock of the institution. te
The Aurora bank deducted about
30 per cent of its capital and the
district court decided against it.

BILL AFFECTING
BANKSOF STATE
BADLY MANGLED
Means Opposite as When Orig.
inaIB Drawn; Bitter Fight
Develops Over Meas
ure in Senate.
Boom a SAL Correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb. 7.-H. R. Al, intro.
dueed by Representative Good, and
passed by the house, also went
through the senate this morning,
BUT not until it had been amended
until the bill will do precisely the
opposite Of what the introducer in
tended it should do.
The original bill in the house pro-
sided that after the lapse of a years
time, the contribution which each
iiquidating state bank has made to
the guaranty fund, should be re-
turned. Under the amendment
sponsored by Cronin and passed by
the senate as its bill this morning.
the guaranty fund contribution will
90 to the state to be deposited in a
special reserve fund with the state
treasurer. The fight over this bill
was the most protracted and bitter
est of the session.
Two in Negative.
The vote was rs to 4, with Ainlay,
Barr, Houston and Watson voting
in the negative
Senator Bushee, explaining his
vote in the affirmative, said the
measure was unjust to the bankers.
but in order to have the question
settled and some law covering the
disposition of the guaranty fund
contributions after the bank liqui-
dates, he would support the amend
ed measure. Senator Houston said
i was an unjust law and he would
refuse to vote for it under any
consideration.
The bill now goes to a conference
committee OF the house and senate,
but the lower branch will undoubt-
eddy accept the senate'S changes in
asmuch as some of the members
desired to back down Immediately
after the passage of the measure.
Axtell's Bill Mangled.
Another banking bill, H. R. No. 9,
by Representative Axtell, was badly
mangled before the senate commit
tee Of the whole got through amend
ing it this morning. The bill origi-
aslly permitted state banks to hold
real estate up to and not exceeding
one-half of the capital and surplus
and at no time could the banks hold
real estate in excess of so per cent
Of the paid up capital.
The bill as amended in the senate
permits holding up to rs per cent of
the paid up capital.
