SENATORS START
CON GRAFTON
OF PRIMARY BILL
Action Put Over for Day
on Motion Of Peterson,
When Big Controversy
Will Be On.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, March 4.-(Special. y
The Nebraska state senate, recon-
vening today, after a four-day re-
cess wrestled for an hour with
three bills amending the state pri-
mary election law and then deeid-
ed to defer action in the committee
of the whole for a time.
1t was upon motion OF Peterson
that action went over a day until the
members had had an opportunity to
take an inventory. Peterson served
notice that he would submit an
amendment, based upon the Oregon
law, which would limit advertising
Of candidates and which would pro-
vide that all matter should be
handled by the state printer.N He
suggested that any other changes
could we'll be deferred until after
the constitutional convention.
The Peterson motion carried with
it the idea that all senators should
submit whatever amendments they
desired to add to S. F. SCI the Bushee
bill, and that the amendments should
be printed and placed on each men,
ber's desk.
The matter will come up again
in the senate tomorrow.

bers Of the investigating commit
tee are under the impression that
the HowelIs concern received a prof
it of 20 cents per ton on coal fur
nished the state.
There is nothing to this" said
Chairman Gerdes of the board, who
has charge of the coal purchases.
From the time the national and
state fuel administration fixed the
prices OF coal to April /, 1918, the
government ruled that all jobbers
were entitled to IS cents per ton
above the fixed price. This profit
was absorbed by the jobber who
sold it to the state through the pur-
chasing agency.
After April /, 1918, up TO the
present time, the price has been
fixed at the mine, and If the jobber
gets any profit il must be by a price
arrangement made with the miner.
Efficiency Engineer Martz of the
state force has checked up all prices
with the government fixed price
and has found no overcharge in any
instance. In the arrangement made
with the Howell concern the COM
do not know where he
orders his coal. except as the papers
for the same come in. We look to
E. E. Howell & Sons to furnish the
coal. II the board learns Of some
snap it can pick up in the purchase
OF coal IL notifies the Howell con-
Germ and lets them pass on it."

Find Gerdes Guilty.

Beatrice, Neb., March 4.-(Special
Telegram.)-John Gerdes, wealthy
retired German farmer of this city,
was found guilty this evening of the
charge of sedition by jury in the
district court after a trial lasting
two days. Gerdes was charged with
refusing to give his quota in the
third Liberty loan drive, although
he had bought $1,000 of bonds in the
other drives. He gave as his reason
for refusing to buy more bonds that
he was short of ready cash.
He was released on bond for 10
days until his attorney can appeal
to the supreme court. Gerdes is
reputed to be worth $65,000. He is
a native of Holland and came to
Gage county in 1880.

HOUSE VOTES TO
CURB SALARY OF
co. TREASURER
Bill Providing EnderS With
Yearly Increase of $1,000
Fails to Pass in
Legislature.
From a staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb., March Awhile
friendly members in the Douglas
county delegation were asleep at
the switch, House Roll 228, provid-
ing for an increase of the salary of
NJ. L. Enders. treasurer of Douglas
county, to $4,000 per year. was
amended by Clifford of Pawnee
county, to leave the salary at its
present sum of $1,000 per year.
Gifford's motion was seconded
by Fults of Furnas and it was not
until the "kibosh" had been put on
the bill that its friends woke up.
Reynolds of Douglas protested
against the action of the house in
the matter and sought to have the
amendment cured. but without avail.
He then moved that the bill be in
definitely postponed.
Representative Rodrian of Kim
ball protested against this as he
contended the passage of House
Roll 227 had repealed the law gov
erning the salaries of county treas
urers and this action would leave
the matter of salaries of these Of
ficers up in the air, as there would
be nothing on the statute books
covering such salaries.
The house did not take this view
of the matter and when, later in the
afternoon, the question again was
raised. the house again voted for the
indefinite postponement of the bill.
Senate File 90, covering the same
matter of increase in the salaries of
the county treasurers is still to be
considered and the friends of the
Enders measure have hope of still
rescuing him from his dilemma be-
fore the session is over.

PROTESTS POUR
IN AGAINST BILL
FOR CENSORSHIP
Members Of Legislature Re-
Ceive Many Petitions Ask
ing Them to Oppose
Movie Measure.
From a staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb, March 4.-Protests
against the passage of H. R. No.
355, the bill providing for moving
picture censorship, are beginning to
pour in to the members of the lower
house of the legislature from their
constituents at home.
Hundreds of persons have signed
petitions which recite the fact that
the proposed bill will have the effect
of depriving small towns of prac-
ticaliy all the healthy amusements
they are now permitted to enjoy
during the winter time.
They deny that conditions exist
which make censorship a necessity
and they contend that the passage of
a bill of this character would prac-
tically drive the small town exhib-
itors out of existence and this would
have depressing effect on business.
Community clubs in the various
towns are joining with the CONNER
cial clubs and with private groups
OF citizens, in the protests.
The Woman's club of Alliance
sent a communication to the house
that it had signed an endorsement
of the bill under an erroneous i'm
preston and begged that this en-
dorsement be withdrawn. The gov
ernor was also appraised of their &C
ton by telegraph and was asked to
withdraw the names OF the members
of the Alliance Woman's club from
the petition of endorsement.
Representative Smith read a let
ter from 40 of his constituents ask
ing for him to vote against the bill.
Petitions of protest with over 200
names were received from Bruning,
while over 800 residents of Sargent
registered a vigorous kick against
the proposed bill, stating it would
leave their town colorless of amuse-
ment and that it would be blow to
the business of the community. The
Alliance Business Mems club sent
in a numerously signed petition of
protest, as did those of Spaulding.
The only petition in favor of the
bill received during the day was
from the president of the w. c. 7.

A very exhaustive inquiry is being
conducted in regard to the coal sup
