CONSTRUCTIVE REPORT

TINE annual report of Commits
sioner Hassler, outlining the
needs of the city water depart
ment, should receive the early atten-
ton of Council. His recommends
tions for additional filter beds,
increased pumping capacity and
double mains in North street are
matters with which it will not do to
trifle. They must not be postponed.
The city is growing and the water
plant is not. DIR. Hassler has out
lined a series of improvements that
must be made if the department is
to meet the needs of the city. He
has made careful study of condi-
tions and it is for Council as a whole
to take up his findings xas soon as
possible, to the end that the CITY
may not suddenly find itself with a
water famine on its hands.

Pretty strenuous efforts to pre-

mary election bill and its companion
legislation are being made by legis-

agreement to have the bills go back
to the elections committee for
study" The ruction which made
some of the members of the COM

throughout the State and the dis
position of rural members who be-
long to the Legislative League to

effect in political matters this ses-
sion.

Decision Deferred
as to Continuance Of
Minimum Hog Price

Washington, Feb. 26-Decision
as to the continuance of the food
Administrations minimum hog price
policy after midnight Friday, ex-
pected today by Frank S. Snyder
chief Of the meat division, will not
be made until President Wilson has
determined the question of embar-
goes affecting neutrals and other
countries.
This became known tonight after
food administration officials had
conferred with the war trade board
and later with President Wilson at
the White House during the meeting
Of the war cabinet.
Mr.. Snyder had announced that a
statement concerning the govern
ment's policy as to hog prices would
be made during the day, but after
the White House conference food
administration officials explained
there would be no further need of
maintaining a minimum price if the
world markets could be opened up
to free trading in pork.
This question was discussed at
the meeting of the war cabinet"
and it was said the president had
taken it under advisement and
would consider it, together with
other phases of the entire embargo
question.

as Result of Presidents

Washington, Feb. 26.-Although
marked progress in disposing of
legislation was made today by con-
gress after announcement that
President Wilson would not call an
extra session until after his return
from Europe, administration leaders
were doubtful that all the necessary
appropriation bills could be enacted
before adjournment next Tuesday.
There was considerable tension
over the legislative situation at the
capitol after it became known that
the president was insistent that all
necessary legislation be disposed of
at this session. On the senate floor
and in private conversations demo-
Gratis and republicans charged each
other with responsibility for delay
in action on important measures.
Urges Greater Speed.
President Wilson had planned to
go to the capitol this afternoon to
confer with democratic leaders in
an effort to accelerate the work of
congress, but prolonged meeting
of his war cabinet" prevented. He
probably will carry out this program
tomorrow before marching at the
head of the parade in honor of Dis
trict of Columbia troops.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 20
Representative-elect A. w. Jefferis
of Omaha arrived in Washington to-
day to participate in the house re-
publican caucus tomorrow evening
when candidates for speaker, clerk,
doorkeeper, sergeant-at-arms and
chaplain will be selected to present
to the house when it is convened in
extra session. Mr.. Jefferis wasnon-
committal as to his choice for speak
er. although he was told that he had
been figured in the Gillett column
He said he was here to listen and
have few things cleared up before
he would decide as to where his
vote should go for speaker.
" New Members Confer.
During the morning session OF
the house the four new members
from Nebraska, Jefferis, Evans, Nc
Laughlin and Andrews, held a pro-
tracted pow WOW" in the rear OF
the hall and not only the speaker
ship but the subject of committee
assignments was referred to, bur
only in an offhand way. 1t is well
known that Immediately after lis
election Mr.. Andrews expressed a
desire to succeed to the place on
the ways and means committee
now occupied by Mr.. Sloan. He
insists that Nebraska should retain
the place and urges his fitness on
the ground of having handled tariff
matters for years while auditor for
the Treasury.
Both Cannot Win.
Both Mclaughlin and Evans
would like agriculture, but they
realize that both cannot be given
places on that important committee,
and so they hope to land on commit
tees that will be satisfactory. JEFF
ferris will probably try for military
affairs in view of having two inn
portant military posts in his district,
Forts Omaha and Crook, besides a
large quartermaster depot Then
again Nebraska would only be hold
ing its own on this committee, as
Shallenbarger of the Fifth district
retires on March 4.
OF course the new members are
looking after advantageous commit
tee places and the speakership fight
may help them to realize their ambi-
tions. That is one reason why one or
two newly elected representatives
from Nebraska are noncommittal.
Senator Hitchcock today received

gress giving a pension to Mrs.

Ida Grove, Ia, Feb. 26-George

two hours before the grand jury
here today, in connection with the
Ernest Rathbun pardon case. No in
formation as to the results OF the

it is rumored here that Clark NAV be

Believed Boy Innocent"
Governor Harding was quoted as
saying: THE transcript of the evil
dence contained so many conflicting
statements, that with my knowledge
of state agents methods, l believed
the boy innocent. Havner himself
told me the boys confession was
secured by third degree methods
and promise of immunity"
The attorney general declared this
statement absolutely untrue. This
is positively false" he asserted
with the warmest emphasis he could
command. q did not tell Governor
Harding anything of the kind. l
said nothing to the governor even
which could be construed to have
anything like a resemblance of such
a thought being in my mind. / said
nothing that could be mistaken to
mean that third degree methods,
or undue influence Of any kind, were
used in procuring Ernest Rathbun's
confession to the crime he and Ray
O'Meara committed against Elsie

Governor Harding understood me to
make the admissions with which he
credits me-"
