ture Makes it Possible to
Stretch Cables Over Inter-
State Highway.
BY a Special Correspondent,

Lincoln, Neb., April l4.-By ac-
ton of the house Monday, in the
passage of Senate File 271, it will
be possible for Gus Hyers and his
"booze hounds" to stretch wire
cables across the entrance to the
Douglas street bridge, Omaha, to
stop suspected booze running cars
in their flights into the bone-dry
territory of Nebraska.
1t will also be possible, under the
operation of the law, to impede
with other distractions the progress
of suspected cars at interstate points
of entry, one form of obstruction
being device that can be placed
across the roads. 1t is heavy iron
pipe, in which is imbedded sharp
iron spikes, about 3 inches long, and
which are guaranteed to puncture

tomb IN which it had been placed
earlier in the legislative season,
there to die for want of attention.
Only on Certain Roads.
At first the bill provided that the
booze hounds. could place their
distractions across any road i'll the
state, but it was amended in the
senate judiciary committee so that
it only applied to roads and bridges
that were interstate points of entry.
Several members of the Douglas
county delegation voted against the
bill, explaining that it would some
time lead to a terrible accident that
might result in the loss of life to
innocent persons. They contended
that it would make a murder trap
of the Douglas street bridge They
also argued that there would be
thugs bright enough to take ad-
vantage of the law at some time
and use the right to obstruct
road that would be enjoyed by
state agents, as a camouflage. and

Members who voted for the bill
explained that it was the duty of
