Governor Issues UItimatum on
Resolution Adopted Asking
for Legislative Call to Pass
Laws on Profiteering.
INSINCERITY CHARGED
IN MESSAGE TO HOUSE
Says Measures introduced at
Last Meeting to Curb High
Prices Were Opposed by
Members Demanding Call.

Lincoln, Aug. 1.-(SpeciaD-
There will be no second special
session of the Nebraska legislature,
although the insurgents in the
house succeeded yesterday in getting
through resolution asking Gov
ernor McKelvie to call special
gathering Immediately at the close
of the present session.
f. When the house met this morn
ing Governor McKelvie visited that
body, and delivered the following
ultimatrm:
1T has been brought to my at
tention through newspaper reports
and current gossip that by resolu-
ton you have expressed desire
that an extra-special session of the
legislature be called to convene
Immediately following the adjourn
ment ct the present special session,
to enact legislation bearing upon the
subject of profteering.
Will Not Call Session.
81 shall not. act favorably upon
that request and the reasons for my
decision are as follows:
First There was introduced in
the regular session two bills bearing
upon this subject, either of which
would meet the requirements of the
situation quite fully. OF these, Sen
ate File No. 245, known as the State
Trade Commission bill, ,a:sed the
senate and was defeated in the
house. The other, Senate File No.
2, known as the Code bill, passed
both houses and is now being de-
layed pending the decision of the
court upon the sufficiency of refer
endum petition which was attempted
no be invoked against it.
The records show .that with a
single exception every democrat
present and voting, voted against
Senate File No. 245. Another demo-
crat who was present q am in
formed) failed to vote at all, and
80 republicans voted against the
measure. these votes were SUI
ficient to defeat it.
Opposed By Democrats.
"On Senate File No. 2, the rec
ords show that every democrat
(but one) and 20 republicans voted
against it.
1T is interesting to note that of
the 50 for your resolution, % voted
against S. F. No. 245. Had these
members voted then as they talk, S.
F. No. 245 would have passed .by a
wide margin.
also, l desire to point out that
I called both of these bills to the
attention of your honorable body
during the regular session. and
urged their passage. A definite rec
ord upon this is contained in the
printed list of house rolls and sem
ate files, which was placed in the
hapds of each member, in which was
designated party platform pledges,
subjects that were included in my
message and Legislation that was
introduced by special message

indicated to me a desire that this

CURTAIN RUNG
DOWN ONCAREER
OF HAMMERSTEIN
Made Great Reputation as Pro.
ducer of Grand Opera in
New York.

New York, Aug. Oscar Ham
merstein, died in a hospital here to-
night of complication of diseases,
after an illness of several days.
Mr.. Hammerstein had been in a
state of coma since late Monday aft
ernoon and died without regaining
consciousness.
As a builder of playhouses and a
purveyor Of entertainment on an
elaborate scale Mr.. Hammerstein
has had few if any equals in this
country. His activities in his chosen
field embraced the entire scope of
the theatrical business, from vaude-
vile to grand opera. 1t was as a
producer of grand opera that he
made his greatest reputation. Dur
ing practically the whole of his
career Mr.. Hammerstein confined
his field of operations to New York
City, with the exception of short and
unsuccessful ventures in grand opera
in London and Philadelphia.
Made and Lost Fortunes.
Few men, even in a business char
acterized by its financial ups and
downs" have made and lost so many
fortunes as did Oscar Hammerstein.
A native of Germany, Mr.. Ham
merstein came to America in search
of his fortune when a young man
in 1868. 1t was as a cigarmaker
that he began life in the new world
Before he had been long at the trade
he invented machine for working
up raw tobacco. This was followed
by the invention of other labor-sav-
ing devices along the same line.
From each invention he reaped large
financial rewards. Then he made
more money out of tobacco trade
paper.
He invested his surplus in real
estate in Harlem, then considered
by most investors an unpromising
field. Soon after the boom in that
part of Manhattan island arrived,
and Mr.. Hammerstein found him
self worth close to 100000.
Then it was that he started on his
career of theatrical speculation.
Set New Records.
Oscar Hammerstein's chief claim
to fame as an impresario and the
atrical manager, 1T has been said,
will rest in the fact that he set new
records for presenting grand operas
of composers never before heard in
America. and that he introduced to
the western musical world singers
who afterwards won great names
for themselves.
For many years the Metropolitan
Opera company had clear field and
on December 3, 1906, when Mr..
Hammerstein began as a competitor
with the Manhattan Opera COM
pany, he was met with many pro-
phecies of failure.
The premier was Bellini's II Puri-
tani'' Carmen" sung later, scored
a distinctive artistic triumph and
before the end of the season it had
been presented twenty times. Then
followed aida" and other grand
operas, new and old to American
audiences.
In 1910, Mr.. Hammerstein sold
out his Philadelphia house and
scenery and costumes Of the Man
haitian. together with all contracts
with his singers, for a sum said to
have been $2,0O0,000, to the Metro
po.ftan Opera company, and as a
result of the agreement entered into
at that time, and which later was
the subject of litigation, the famous
impresario was enioined from pro-
ducing opera in New York until
April 70, 1920.

the White House today, had the
subject of economic conditions be-
fore him in a variety of phases.
In making his request to the
house, he said that he expected
important recommendations with
in fortnight" from his advisers.
Shortly before the president sent
this request to the house, it was
learned that the conference of cab
met members and other officials
assembled yesterday by Attorney
General Palmer to initiate meas
ures for relieving the average man
from high prices would reassemble
Tuesday and would have a new
member in the person of julius
Barnes, director of the United
States grain corporation.
Plan Free Wheat Market.
An invitation to Mr.. Barnes to
attend was interpreted today as
meaning that serious consideration
would be given to the proposal to
sell wheat at the market price, al
lowing the government to absorb
the difference between that and
the $2.26 guaranteed the farmer.
Several officials have expressed
the opinion that free market for
wheat would result in declines in
the price of flour, which would
bring down other staples materi-
ally.
Director General Hines, Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury Lef-
fingwell and Chairman Colver of
the federal trad commission, ap-
pointed special committee by the
conference. will report at the next
meeting on the various sugges-
tions which have been advanced,
especially those to curb profiteer-
ing. The Department of Justice is
understood to be prepared to put
the entire law-enforcing machinery
of the government, back of any
campaign that may be decided
upon to stop extortion in the
prices OF necessaries.
