Advanced; Muny Milk
Amendment Left Out

Lincoln, April 11-(SpeciaD-The
c. aha charter bill was advanced to
third reading today in the lower
house with the amendments included
which were inadvertently. left out
when the bill was advanced 20 third
reading Thursday.
An effort of Representative Ed
Smith of Omaha to put all amend
ment in the bill permitting the city
council to establish municipal milk
stations, or other municipal enter
prises not included in the bill, was
voted down.
The entire Omaha delegation was
on the job bright and early this
morning. A big representation of
Omaha men was present when the
bill was advanced, fearing it would
be the subject of long and disas-
trous debate. John A. Rine, official
pilot of the bill. sat beside Represen-
tative Robert Druesedow while the
charter was under discussion.
ut is probable the charter will
so through on third reading tomor-

Senators Switch Votes

Lincoln. April 1l--(Special Iele-
gram. 1.-The senate killed the motion
picture censorship bill this afternoon
by advancing the Beebe high Ii
cense" substitute by vote of IL
to 1ss. The defeat of censorship was
brought about by change in the
votes of Senator Louis Berka OF
Omaha and Senator Pickett of Wa
hoo, who voted against the Beehe
amendment and for censorship
Thursday when the vote was tie.
Senator Sturm, who was absent
Thursday. voted for censorship.
If the Beebe substitute passes the
senate on third reading, the house,
which gave censorship a comfortable
majority several weeks ago, will be
asked to concur in the Beebe sub
stitute.
That's where the rub will come in.
Fight to Last Ditch.
The procensorship crowd indicated
tonight the fight would be carried
to the last ditch. If the house re-
fuses to concur, it means the probable
appointment Of a conference COM
mittee, two in favor of censorship
and one against it in the house, two
against censorship and one for III
the senate.
If the conference committee tails
to agree that means long deadlock.
Few new arguments were advanced
TODAY. Senator Berka explained his
change on the proposition to be the
result of a thorough canvass OF the
feelings of his constituents in the last
few days, resulting in the discovery
that censorship was unpopular among
the masses in Omaha, although
popular among many well-meaning
club and society women.
And we must thank these women
for starting agitation which is certain
to end in cleaner pictures" Senator
Berka said.
People Up in Arms.
Senator Pickett declared his week
end visit to Wahoo revealed his con-
stituents "in arms" against creation
of more salaried commissions.
"They believed adoption of the
code bill spelled the end to appoint
ment of commissions and bills" Sen
ator Pickett said.
The senate lobby was filled with
women who sat in the aisles. How
ever, they neglected to applaud, as
was their custom at past sessions,
after a vote was taken on censor
ship.
The Beebe substitute provides for
a $1,000 deposit by film companies
carrying on business in Nebraska.
The governor shall grant these
companies licenses under provisions
of the amendment. In the event
the film companies show pictures of
an "off color" variety, depicting a
long list of penalized and social
crimes and a court finds the COM
pany guilty, the license will be for
feited and the film company fined
and forbidden to continue its busi-
ness in Nebraska.
Vote on Bill.
The vote follows:
For censorship: Anderson. Brown,
Cannon, Good, Hastings, Johnson,
MCGOWAN. Randall, Robbins, Sturm,
Ulrich, Warner, Watson, Wiltse,
Norval.
Against, Beebe, Berka, Bliss,
Bushee, Cooper, Cronin, Davis, Dut-
ton, Halderman. Harriss, Hoagland,
Humphrey, lillian, Miller. Pickett,
Reed, Rickard, Saunders.
