Washington, Feb. 25.--(Special
Telegram 1.-The adjourned confer
ence of the Nebraska delegation i'll
the house with the members of the
federal reserve board in relation to
the controversy existing between
the Federal Reserve bank at Kansas
City, the Omaha branch and the
state bankers of Nebraska was re-
sumed Wednesday morning. Gov
ernor Miller of the Kansas City
hank, o. T. Eastman. manager OF
the Omaha branch; NJ. l. Bishop,
field agent, and Chief Clerk Lower
Of the Omaha branch were present.
Governor Harding on behalf of
the federal reserve board assumed
the entire responsibility for the CAM
paign waged in Nebraska for par
collections on checks issued OH nom
member banks in Nebraska. Gov
ernor Miller of the Kansas City
bank and 0. r. Eastman. manager
of the Omaha branch. testified that
everything had been done in the
most courteous manner in their ef-
forts to persuade the nonmember
state banks to cash their checks at
par.
The field agents Of the Omaha
branch testified that all OF their ac.
tons had been strictly within the
rules prescribed by their superior
officers. They also testified that
they did rot display revolvers at any
of the banks or even on the streets
IN Pierce, Neb.. when they went
there to collect cash on checks
cleared through the Omaha branch.
The field agents denied that they
had ever uttered threats against any
of the bankers in the state of Ne
braska and that all their work had
been conducted along strict lines of
business courtesy. The members of
the Nebraska delegation held in
their hands at the time numerous af-
fidavits challenging the correctness
of that testimony. N.
None Of the state bankers OF Ne
braska were present and their affi-
davits were used in an informal way
during the hearings. AT the close of
four hours of conferences an ad-
journment was taken to a future
date to be named by the governor
of the board at the convenience OF

GAME and FISH
COMMISSION TO

Constitutional Convention 0p-
poses Plan to Provide
Land for Small
Farmers in State.

Lincoln. Feb. 2S.--(Spccial.) l.)-lf
the proposal passed by the constitu-
tionai convention today is ratified BY
the people the state game ard fish
conn <'ion will receive the fees
from all licenses collected by the
state and will be used By that de-
partment exclusively. Failur4 To he
able to use the fees belonging to the
department has been heayv fandi-
cap in the past and it Is planned
that this will enable the fish and
game commissioner TO make their
department more effective bureau
Proposal No. 81, creating a board
OF pardons consisting of the COVER
nor attorney general and secretary
OF state was passed by the cotyen-
tiou this morning. The proposal
gives the board the autrc rity h rass
upon all matters relating to elem
encv and requires that the judges
and prosecuting attorneys of the
counties from which the convict was
sent shall be notified and public
hearings be held.
The convention received a com.
fron the Omaha Cehtra'
Labor union calling attention to ac-
ton of the union at its convention
on February p which favored ~
lectivv bargaining and the r'gi'. te
trial by jury ir cases where the Oh
Tense charged is also crime under
the state or federal statute and also
the right of labor to cease work to
force economic justice.
A Joint committee composed OF
the agricultural, industrial and pub
lie indebtedness standing commit
tees. which were authorized to take
I'D the matter OF the state provid-
ing lands for small farmers, was sus-
tanned in its recommendation ior IN
definite postponement of proposals
submitted by Bigelow of Douglas
and Cornell OF Cherry.
The report showed that at this
time of inflated values more harm
might be done than good and that
the state could do better service
by legislation tending to help the
tenant farmers by advanced meth
DDS OF teaching farming. The COM
mittee intimated that perhps the
state might sell the l,63l,790 acres
of school lands to small owners and
get better results.

Falls City Democrat Who Ser
we'd Two Terms Files for
Third Race.

Petitions to place the name Of
John ii. Morehead on the demo-
cratic primary ballot as a candi-
date for the party nomination for
governor were filed at Lincoln yes
terday by Gene Walrath OF Osceola.
They contained approximately $500
signatures.
The filing is the first made for
the democratic nomination. Mr..
Morehead served two terms as gov
ernor, lol3-1ol7, and was the demo-
cratic nominee for United States
senator in 1913. lie lives at Falls
City.
The Morehead candidacy is
something of puzzle to democrats
who do not have the honor to be
i'll the "inner circle" Privately, Mr..
Morehead is protesting friendship
for the Bryan wing of the party.
but the Hitchcock wing, notably
Arthur Mullen, is giving every evi-
dence OF complete satisfaction with
his candidacy. 1t is beyond the
of local democrats to
imagine union of the two factions
and the Bryan group is fearful that
they may be duped if they don't
watch out.
