COMMITTEE IN
Senate FAvORS
CIGARET BILL
Warm Discussion Results as
to Who Is Behind Meas
ure for Licensing the
Sale Of Smokes"
From a Staff Correspondent.


Lincoln, Neb,. March l4.-The
senate this afternoon approved the
Mcleod eigaret bill, after five
amendments had been tackled into
the original house measure. The
amended bill was ordered engrossed
for third reading in the second COM
mittee of the whole.
Under the provisions of the
amendments which the senate adopt
ed it will be unlawful for anyone
to smoke cigaret or any other form
oil tobacco in public eating houses.
Advertisement of eigarets in public
places or on bill boards is also
barred. The senate had previously
adopted an amendment prohibiting
newspapers from advertising cigar
cts, but upon amendment by Sem
ator Robbins, it was changed and
newspapers were made the only
medium of advertising in order to
permit them TO compete with other
publications, he said.
Cordial led the fight again this
afternoon against the bill. He sent
up an amendment to bar cigaret
advertising in the newspapers and
il was adopted, but finally killed
when the Robbins amendment was
substituted. The vote on, the bill
stood:
fof-Ainly Bradstreet Brooks. Bushee,
Cronin. Cooper, Hoagland, Houston, Potter
son, Randall, Reed. Robbins. Saunders,
Sears Sturnl. Tanner, Watson and Weaver
ling-1s
Against Barr. chappol, Cordial.
Erickson. Good. Hail. Harris. Johnson
Swanson, Taylor. Warner and Weston-i3
Under an amendment by Bushee
I The license fee for dealers was re-
dueed. Bushee explained that the
intent of the bill~was not to raise
funds by licensing the sales. but to
ban any dealer found selling to
minors. The senate adjourned until
Monday.
Lincoln, March 14-fSpecial. -
The fight on the Mcleod cigaret
bill was precipitated early Friday in
the senate when Secretary Barnard
called ii UP as at the head of 'the
list.
Cordial started the fireworks by
accusing Bushee of calling a con-
ference of the friends of the bill.
You can cram it down OUR threats
II YOU want to" he said.
Bushee denied. that he had called
any conference although he said that
those friendly to the bill had held
meeting. He said that he could not
distinguish any difference between
this meeting and those which Sem
Rtor Cordial called in the 1918 ses-
sion of the legislature when Cordial
was actively interested in a univer-
sity removal bill
Hammond added to the debate
with a warning that the senate was
yielding to the tobacco interests the
same as the 1917 session did to the
liquor interests. you will have it
to pay" he declared.
Bushee Resents Charge.
Chappell, democrat, said he was
not charging anyone with being un-
der the influence of the tobacco in
terests but he insisted that the bill
was being pushed by the same inter-
ests. He was interrupted by Bushee
who demanded to sec letters from
the so-called tobacco interests advo-
eating the passage of the. bill. Chap
pei admitted he had none.
Senator Bushee said he did not
care to be called tool of the tobac-
co interests and no one could do it
on the floor Of the senate and get
away with H.

r,sr since we attended The Woman

vshed to have talk with Samuel

l;,sction he was trying to direct our
sympathies.

Mind adherence to the unwritten law,
,ven il he does rush in and shoot the

hour after the curtain goes up.
But this play is different; at least we
rssnonded differently. We felt from the
srst that Lowell Sherman had been
badly treated, and when we talked with
him later in the evening he quite
sgreed with us.

And the next husband, Paul Ram
sey, was surely to blame for the very
unpleasant complications which arose
later on. In his heart of hearts we
cannot believe that when he put de-
,ective on his wife's trail he did it
merely to protect her. If he had men
toned to her one word of his sus-

occurred at Samga, a village in South
eastern Korea, according to dispatches
received here. It is said that Koreans
numbering 100. 900 gathered at SamEa,
cut telegraph wires and set fire to the
town hall. Armed with scythes, mem-
bers OF the moi are reported to have
attacked the postoffice and police
stations. There wal severe fighting and
many casualties were inflicted in the
clash between the mob and the police
and a small detachment OF troops.
Strong reinforcements have been sent
to Samga. Unrest continues throughout
the country.

"This is not surprising" he said. be
