TOM HALL BILL
MEETS DEATH IN
STATE SENATE
But Five Votes for Turning
Public Service Corpora
tions Over to State
Railway Commission.
BY a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb, March 19.-Con-
trary to its action yesterday. the Ne
braska senate today made short
work of S. F. 227, by Senator Warn
er, better known as the Tom Hall"
bill. It was indefinitely postponed
by vote of q to 5.
1t gave the State Railway commits
sion added powers by requiring pub
lie service corporations, except those
owned by the city, to secure a per-
NIT from the Railway commission
before making extensive improve
ments or establishing new plants.
The bill has been buffeted around
at several sessions of the legislature
1t is designed to prevent the con-
struction of additional public ser
vice plants where the facilities are
not needed. The ultimate cost of
these come back on the public in the
form Of higher rates, friends of the
bill said.
The Warner bill slid through the
senate committee of the whole yes
terday with hardly so much as a stir.
1t had no such luck today.
Only two votes, Cronin and Har-
riss. were recorded against the Nc
Kee bill providing that only Ameri-
can citizens shall teach school.

Lincoln, March 19.-The senate
constitutional convention bill and
J. Reid Green's bill to carry out the
non-alen voting amendment adopt
ed last year. passed the house by
unanimous vote Wednesday morn
ing.
Nonpartisan delegates to be
elected next fall from the various
counties in Nebraska will meet in
Lincoln December 2, this year, to
draft the new state constitution
which will be submitted to the
voters of the state in 1920 for their
approval or rejection.

measures put through were the two
appropriating 100000 each for new
hospitals at the Milford and Grand
Island soldiers homes. The sup
porters of these two bills combined
forces and got them both through,
but without the emergency clause.
They must still run the gauntlet of
the senate.
R. B. Howell's pet measures were
likewise passed, but a few votes
were cast against the one taking off
the limit to his salary.
S. F. No. 254, Governor Nc
Kelvie's bill, asking General Per-

Revolution in Korea
"Wild Fire Agitation,
Asserts Missionary

Madison, N. J., March lo.-The
revolution in Korea was described
today as wild fire agitation by a
people as yet unfit for self-govern-
ment" by the Rev. DR.. E. D. Soper,
a professor in Drew theological
seminary here, who has just re-
turned from a seven-months' mis-
sionary tour of the far east,
He was Of the opinion that, not
witbstanding mistakes in Japanese
rule and abuses of power by some
of the Japanese in the country, the
Koreans were better off morally,
physically and economically under
Japanese control than when they
were independent. He said the
Koreans we're yet Children" while
the Japanese were "adolescents."
What the Koreans complained of
as misrule he attributed to the in
aptitude of the Japanese in handling
big and delicate problem and not
to any wilful desire to injure or
exploit the Koreans. Many in
fluential Koreans, he said, favor
Japanese control, but they are not
in the ajority.

can possibly tell, as it darkens so
naturally and evenly. You moisten
a sponge or soft brush with it, draw

one small strand at time. BY morn

another application or two, its nat
ural color is restored and it be-

act. the country precincts buried be-

An opposition in the western part
of the county, beginning several
years ago when the merchants of
Grand Island denied the requests
of the fair board to close their
stores on the afternoons of two
days, and the recent county agent
controversy are believed to be the
main grounds for the opposition.
