Lincoln, Aug. 14.-The State
Boart of Educational Funds has
awarded leases to several parties
asking for mineral and potash rights
in Nebraska. One was granted in
Cheyenne county, four in Garden
three in Sheridan and II in Sioux.
The state treasurer was instructed
to invest 100000 in different
kinds of bonds at 5 per cent. Here
tofore the rule of the board has made
the minimum rate 5H per cent, but
thc present financial conditions led
tie board to reduce the limit.

at its next session. provide by law
for the calling of convention.
The convention shall consist of as
many members as the house of rep
resentatives, and shall be chosen in
the same manner.
Mr.. Baker alleges that the fact
that no primary election will be
held, and that nominations to the
convention are made by petitions,
which require the signatures of 5
per cent of the voters of a county,
is contrary to the provisions for
nomina ton and election of candi-
dates as provided for in section 2,
article IS, as we'll as section 22,
article /.
The second act provides that no
hindrance or impediment to the
right of voters to exercise their
franchise can be made, and that all
elections shall be free.
Mr.. Baker contends that the
method of nominating candidates to
the constitutional convention under
the 1919 Legislative act does create
and impediment to'free franchise.
The number of signatures on can
didate's petitions required by the
new act is far in excess of the num-
Der required to place the name of a
candidate to the house of represen-
tatives on the ballot, Mr.. Baker
says. For this reason alone the
act is invalid, he says, because Sec
ton 2, Article IS, expressly pro-
vides that candidates to the conven-
ton shall be nominated and elected
in tht same manner as candidates to
the house of representatives.

Call on Governor Regarding
Disturbance at Beatrice
Last Week-N0

(From a Staff Correspondent

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Aug. l4.-(Special Tele-
ram.)-Irresponsible parties at
tempting to break up public meet
ings and officers who refuse to ar
rest the disturbers will be dealt
with according to their just deserts,
according to Governor McKelvie,
who was visited Thursday morning
by Jesse R. Johnson, manager of
the non-partisan league in Nebras-
ka.
Mr.. Johnson's visit was prompted
by the disturbance at Beatrice last
week when meeting of leaguers
was broken up and some of the
members roughly handled, accord
ing to reports emanating from that
city.
The purpose of Mr.. Johnson's S
visit was to arrange for a confer
ence of leaders of the league at
some future time, but he was told
by the governor that unless a meet
ing could be held Friday it would
be impossible for him to see them
for some time, as he expected to be
away for most of the time during
the next two weeks.
In speaking of the matter, Gov
ernor McKelvie said: Il know that
the whole unpleasant matter does
not reflect the sentiment of the very
great majority of the people of Gage
county, and they are just as anxious
as anyone to see that it is cleared
up in such way as to remove the
stigma that attaches to their COM
munity as a result of what hap
pened. In fact, | shall not be sur
prised if the sentiment in that COM
munity is so preponderant that the
whole matter will be disposed of
without bringing it to the further
a attention of the sra re- authorities
