INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM Letter to Democratic Members Ask- ing Their Views in Reference to the Proposed Extra Session. Hon. W. J. Bryan has mailed a let- ter to all democratic members of the last legislature asking them if they will support an initiative and refer- endum resolution for the submission of a constitutional amendment to that effect at the general election this fall. He has also asked J. H. Msckett, Jr.. president of the Nebraska Direct Legislation league to get a poll of the republican members. The letter fdr most part follows: My Dear Sir: The failure of the legislature to rbmlt the initiative and referendum at its regular session has brought county option which is direct legislation into the present campaign, and this question Is draw- ing attention from national issues. It is unfortunate that this should be the case at this time when six congress- men are to be elected, and when a senator is to be chosen by the next legislature. Unless the mistake made by the legislature can be remedied, our par- ty will be confronted by a very seri- ous situation. It might promise in Its platform to submit the initiative and referendum at the next session, but it could hardly expect to be trusted to submit the measure next ime if with a democratic governor, senate and house it is unable to do so. now, un- less it declares its Independence of special interests. In my opinion the best way to meet the situation is by the submission of ths initiative and referendum by a called session of the legislature and I have no doubt that Governor Shal-lenberg- er will call such a special ses- sion if assured that a majority of both houses will support the initia tive and referendum resolution, which will give to the people the legislative machinery through which they could legislate upon any ques- tion In which they are Interested. A called session would also doubtless ratify the income tax amendment If it is not possible to submit the Initiative and referendum for ratifica- tion as a constitutional amendment at the election this fall, nothing is left for our party to do but to de- clare for the initiative and referen dum and county option in its state platform this summer. In order to ascertain whether an initiative and referendum resolution would pass In case of a special session being called, I take the liberty of submitting the question to you and to the other dem- ocratic members of the senate and house. Please wire me at once, at my expense, whether you would be willing to support such a resolution at a special session. In a written statement regarding his letter to democratic members, Mr. Bryan says: "I hope that the dem- ocratic and republican papers that fa- vor the initiative and referendum will take the matter up and urge the passage of the initiative and referen- dum resolution. It might be well for the committeemen and all others, both democrats and republicans, who are Interested in the present cam- paign, to see these senators and mem- bers who didn't support the meas- ure at the last session and point out to them the importance of the special secsion. o Hughes Is Appreciative. In reply to its telegram of congrat- ulations over his appointment as a member of the United States su- preme court, the State Railway com- mission has received the following message from Governor Hughes: Albany. N. Y.. April 27. Nebraska State Railway Commission. Lincoln, Neb.: "I cordially appreciate your telegram. "CHARLES E. HUGHES." Ruling on Bleached Flour. State Food Commissioner S. I.

C. Vanness, a member of the Soldiers' home at Grand Island, who, for complaining of the meat betas; served to the old veterans, was charged by the democrats with trying to stir up trouble for poUtlcal rea- sons, has denied the charge In a let- ter to Secretary of State Junkln. Vanness said he would show to any person who visited the home that the soldiers were not fed good meat and that those who could not come there could be convinced by calling upon the governor and asking for reports. STATE FIRE WARDEN 'Seeks to Have Instruction in tht Schools. A. V. Johnson, state fire warden, has written a letter to State Superin- tendent Bishop suggesting that a day or an hour of some day each month be set aside for the teachers to instruct their pupils about how to prevent fires and what to do In some emergencies. It is Mr. Johnson's idea that if the children are taught the dangerous use of gasoline and kerosene and what to do In case of explosion, as well as how to prevent fires by keeping refuse burned and the danger of permitting old papers to be stac-ne- d in an attic or closet that the lessons now learned will remain with them always. Mr. Johnson gave out the following statement: The Nebraska Fire commission, whose business it Is to do everything possible for the prevention of fire waste desires to direct public atten- tion to the necessity of a general cleanup during the spring time. De- bris that has accumulated during the winter months should be thoroughly cleared away. The reasons for this are obvious, one which might be men- tioned is that this debris is often re- sponsible for spontaneous combustion, which, more prevalent during the hot summer months than during the cold- er period. Is generally regarded by ex- perienced fire fighters as one of the chief causes of what are called "un- known fires." Too often houses are built without giving proper consideration to attic ventilation; the hot summer sun beats on the roof, the heat in the attic be- comes intense and with the attic filled with rubbish, dust, oily rags, highly varnished pieces of furniture or other accumulations spontaneous combus- tion is a natural result Closets are often used for storing away greasy overalls, old clothes and oily rags, such closets should be thor- oughly cleaned and this is particularly true of the closet under the stairway. which is too often permitted to be- come a fire trap immediately under the only way of escape from the upper stories of the building. This Is the season for varnishing and painting, hence old rags used for wiping greasy wood and varnished sur- faces should be burned; If they must be saved for future use they should be kept in an Iron receptacle substan- tially covered and set away from the wood buildings. Paint and oily rags, varnish and waste, used to wipe machinery are particularly liable to spontaneous com- bustion. We desire to suggest that when peo- ple are removing thair stoves for the summer months. If they would be care- ful to see that the hole in the chim- ney was stopped with a metal thimble and not with paper or rags it would prevent a great many fires. New Fraternal Organization. The Clansmen of America, of Omaha, a new fraternal organization, has been licensed to do business in this state. The rates of the new com- pany are not up to the fraternal con- gress standard and consequently did not meet with the approval of the au- ditor. Nevertheless, under the insur- ance law a license must be issued when 250 applications have been signed, no matter what the rates may be. Money for Soldiers' Homes. Governor Sha'.lenberger received from the government warrants for $9,-17- 5 for the use of the two soldiers' homes. The money is apportioned at the rate of $100 for each member of the home. At Grand Island there are 255 members and at Milford 112. Missouri Pacific Loses. Maggie Wollenburg. who won a damage suit against the Missouri Pa- cific in the district court of Douglas county, after having been tossed some sixty-fiv- e feet by an engine, won out also in the supreme court Cost of Life Insurance. Figured on the basis of the vote cast in 1908. every man in Nebraska who has attained his majority spent $13.70 for life insurance last year. This rep- resents an Increase over the preceding year. New Lieutenant The adjutant general's office has au- thorized the election of a second lieu- tenant in the Gatling gun section at Beatrice, that section having recently increased its strength to thirty men. Go to Fort Riley. There will be no state camp for the Nebraska national guard this year, ex- cepting the rifle teams. All the rest of the guard will be taken to Fort Riley. Adjutant General Hartlgan has refigured the expense of taking the guard, amounting In all to about 1.100 men, and believes that he can send all of the boys to Fort Riley on the $30.-00- 0 that Is available for the purpose. Some of the companies may, however, be left behind unless they are able to show a strength of at least forty-thre- e men. Net Like Sample. Superintendent Percival of the Nor- folk asylam has notified the state board of public lands and buildings that the coffee delivered to his institu- tion by-th- e H.P. Law company' does not conform to the sample which was submitted to the board when the con- tract waa let Dr. Percival sent a sample of the coffee to the board and according to Secretary of State Junkin it la not like the coffee that was bought The superintendent will be notified to reject the shipment as soon aa the board can get together. Model Submitted in Fall. Daniel C. French, who has a con- tract to construct the Lincoln monu- ment, to be located on the grounds of the state house, has written to F. M. Hall that he will not submit the model mtil next fall. Mr. French said in :1s letter that the model bad been completed, but that he is shortly leav-n- g for Europe and therefore he de--vir- es to look over it again before send-n- g It to Nebraska. He believes after u absence of a few months he will e more able to &y whether the mod-- 1 Is up to the standard desired. READY FOR A VOTE ON THE TRAFFIC AGREEMENT OF RAILROAD MEASURE.

It was par- ticipated in by Messrs. Cummins, Root. Aldrich. Borah, Bailey, Hey-bur- n and others. Senator Clay deliv- ered a set speech in opposition to the bill, and Senator Bristow closed his address in condemnation cf the pres- ent rate-makin- g system. When Mr. E!kins called attention to the connection of the Canadian gov. ernment with the Canadian roads, Mr. Bristow declared the American gov- ernment had built the Union Pacific railroad and presented it to its own- ers. Mr. Smoot came to the assistance of Mr. Bristow in contending for the adoption of the long and short haul amendment, whereupon Mr. Elkins charged that the effect would be to raise rather than decrease local non- competitive rates. The Utah ani Kansas senators said their states were willing to take their chance on that LEAVITT WANTS HIS CHILDREN. Will Invoke the Courts to Get Them, if Necessary. Columbus, O.

Believes Congress Should Grant Re quest for National Ch.ter Would Change Only One Small Detail. Ithaca, N. T. In an address before the Council congress on Friday night President Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell commended the scheme for the Rockefeller foundation for which congress has been asked for a national charter. President Schurman devoted his entire speech of several thousand words to this sub- ject and In summing up he said: "I recognize that section No. 2 of the bill, which defines the object of the Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and empowers that foundation to do any- thing and everything which may pro- mote and advance human civilization, that is to say, morals and religion, art and science, manners snd social Inter- course, and aU that concerns the po- litical, economic, and material well being of Individuals snd communities. This is a vast field for the exercise of philanthropy. "But Mr. Rockefeller has conceived a vast scheme of philanthropy, for the benefit of his fellow citizens and man- kind. His character, ability and or, ganlzing skill are adequate guarantees that he will carry out his scheme wisely and successfully, with incal- culable benefit and blessing to man-Lin- d. It is in the interest of the na- tion that he be given a free band in the exTcise of his colossal benefi- cence. So long as he is active or his Influence remains It would be wise and safe to give the foundation the sort of organization he desires. Neith- er now nor hereafter does it seem nec- essary to limit the scope of his benefi- cence, which Is coextensive with the efforts of mankind to attain a higher civilization. "The only change I would desire to see In the proposed bill is the total or partial elimination of the method cf selecting trustees by The organization might well be left a close corporation, if Mr. Rockefeller so de- sires, for a generation. But after that time I am confident that it would inure both to the efficiency of the foundation and to the public welfare to say noth- ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment of a democracy If the majority of the trustees were appointed by the presi- dent of the United States, with the advice and consent of the senate, or selected by some other high abiding, governmental agencies that may fairly be regar-Ie- d as representing the peo- ple of the United States, whose wel- fare is the primary object of the im- mense and glorious benefaction."

Ford, for five years aa em- ploye of the National Roofing Co., tells a tale of suffering that would move the hardest heart He writes the following letter telUng how he was quickly cured by the United Doc- tors, those master medical specialists, who have their Omaha Institute at 232 Neville block, corner Sixteenth and Harney streets. Omaha. Neb.. March 9. 1910. "For ten weeks I lay flat on my back with Sciatic rheumatism and kidney trouble and could not move myself in the bed and when I was moved, could scarcely bear tho excruciating pain. I had three physicians and tried threo or four different kinds of patent med icine in the hope of finding something that would relieve the terrible agony for I could not move hand or foot without suffering more than It seemed possible for one to suffer and live, but nothing seemed to help me. One day a friend whose wife was under treatment by the United Doc- tors, came to see me. He told me how quickly she had been helped from the first by these wonderful specialists and how well she had been ever since, and urged me to make a great effort to get to their offices oa the second floor of the Neville block, corner Sixteenth and Harney streets. I hired a man to help me and he had to almost carry me Into their office. That was four weeks' ago and today I walked Into their effice without even the use of a cane. In two days after beginning the treatment I could notice-a- n improvement and it has been a steady and gradual Improvement ever since. "I feel that I cannot speak too highly of your wonderful new system of treatment and would like to urge all who are sick and suffering to go- to the United Doctors." W. J. FORD. Saving His Life.

II SPECIAL SESSION

MR. BRYAN SEES WORK FOR NE-BRASKA LEGISLATORS.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM

Letter to Democratic Members Ask-ing Their Views in Reference

to the Proposed Extra Session.

Hon. W. J. Bryan has mailed a let-

ter to all democratic members of thelast legislature asking them if theywill support an initiative and refer-endum resolution for the submissionof a constitutional amendment tothat effect at the general electionthis fall.

He has also asked J. H. Msckett,Jr.. president of the Nebraska DirectLegislation league to get a poll of therepublican members. The letter fdrmost part follows:

My Dear Sir: The failure of thelegislature to rbmlt the initiativeand referendum at its regular sessionhas brought county option which isdirect legislation into the presentcampaign, and this question Is draw-ing attention from national issues. Itis unfortunate that this should be thecase at this time when six congress-men are to be elected, and when asenator is to be chosen by the nextlegislature.

Unless the mistake made by thelegislature can be remedied, our par-

ty will be confronted by a very seri-ous situation. It might promise in Itsplatform to submit the initiative andreferendum at the next session, but itcould hardly expect to be trusted tosubmit the measure next ime if witha democratic governor, senate andhouse it is unable to do so. now, un-

less it declares its Independence ofspecial interests.

In my opinion the best way to meetthe situation is by the submission ofths initiative and referendum by acalled session of the legislature andI have no doubt that Governor Shal-lenberg- er

will call such a special ses-

sion if assured that a majority ofboth houses will support the initiative and referendum resolution,which will give to the people thelegislative machinery through whichthey could legislate upon any ques-

tion In which they are Interested. Acalled session would also doubtlessratify the income tax amendment

If it is not possible to submit theInitiative and referendum for ratifica-tion as a constitutional amendmentat the election this fall, nothing isleft for our party to do but to de-

clare for the initiative and referendum and county option in its stateplatform this summer. In order toascertain whether an initiative andreferendum resolution would pass Incase of a special session being called,I take the liberty of submitting thequestion to you and to the other dem-

ocratic members of the senate andhouse. Please wire me at once, atmy expense, whether you would bewilling to support such a resolutionat a special session.

In a written statement regardinghis letter to democratic members, Mr.Bryan says: "I hope that the dem-ocratic and republican papers that fa-

vor the initiative and referendumwill take the matter up and urge thepassage of the initiative and referen-dum resolution. It might be well forthe committeemen and all others,both democrats and republicans, whoare Interested in the present cam-paign, to see these senators and mem-bers who didn't support the meas-ure at the last session and point outto them the importance of the specialsecsion. o

Hughes Is Appreciative.In reply to its telegram of congrat-

ulations over his appointment as amember of the United States su-

preme court, the State Railway com-mission has received the followingmessage from Governor Hughes:

Vannees Writes AgainC. C. Vanness, a member of the

Soldiers' home at Grand Island, who,for complaining of the meat betas;served to the old veterans, wascharged by the democrats with tryingto stir up trouble for poUtlcal rea-sons, has denied the charge In a let-

ter to Secretary of State Junkln.Vanness said he would show to anyperson who visited the home that thesoldiers were not fed good meat andthat those who could not come therecould be convinced by calling uponthe governor and asking for reports.

STATE FIRE WARDEN

'Seeks to Have Instruction in thtSchools.

A. V. Johnson, state fire warden,has written a letter to State Superin-tendent Bishop suggesting that a dayor an hour of some day each month beset aside for the teachers to instructtheir pupils about how to prevent firesand what to do In some emergencies.It is Mr. Johnson's idea that if thechildren are taught the dangerous useof gasoline and kerosene and what todo In case of explosion, as well as howto prevent fires by keeping refuseburned and the danger of permittingold papers to be stac-ne- d in an atticor closet that the lessons now learnedwill remain with them always.

Mr. Johnson gave out the followingstatement:

The Nebraska Fire commission,whose business it Is to do everythingpossible for the prevention of firewaste desires to direct public atten-tion to the necessity of a generalcleanup during the spring time. De-

bris that has accumulated during thewinter months should be thoroughlycleared away. The reasons for thisare obvious, one which might be men-

tioned is that this debris is often re-

sponsible for spontaneous combustion,which, more prevalent during the hotsummer months than during the cold-

er period. Is generally regarded by ex-

perienced fire fighters as one of thechief causes of what are called "un-known fires."

Too often houses are built withoutgiving proper consideration to atticventilation; the hot summer sun beatson the roof, the heat in the attic be-

comes intense and with the attic filledwith rubbish, dust, oily rags, highlyvarnished pieces of furniture or otheraccumulations spontaneous combus-tion is a natural result

Closets are often used for storingaway greasy overalls, old clothes andoily rags, such closets should be thor-oughly cleaned and this is particularlytrue of the closet under the stairway.which is too often permitted to be-

come a fire trap immediately underthe only way of escape from the upperstories of the building.

This Is the season for varnishingand painting, hence old rags used forwiping greasy wood and varnished sur-faces should be burned; If they mustbe saved for future use they shouldbe kept in an Iron receptacle substan-tially covered and set away from thewood buildings.

Paint and oily rags, varnish andwaste, used to wipe machinery areparticularly liable to spontaneous com-

bustion.We desire to suggest that when peo-

ple are removing thair stoves for thesummer months. If they would be care-ful to see that the hole in the chim-ney was stopped with a metal thimbleand not with paper or rags it wouldprevent a great many fires.

New Fraternal Organization.The Clansmen of America, of

Omaha, a new fraternal organization,has been licensed to do business inthis state. The rates of the new com-pany are not up to the fraternal con-gress standard and consequently didnot meet with the approval of the au-

ditor. Nevertheless, under the insur-ance law a license must be issuedwhen 250 applications have beensigned, no matter what the rates maybe.

Money for Soldiers' Homes.Governor Sha'.lenberger received

from the government warrants for $9,-17- 5

for the use of the two soldiers'homes. The money is apportioned atthe rate of $100 for each member ofthe home. At Grand Island there are255 members and at Milford 112.

Missouri Pacific Loses.Maggie Wollenburg. who won a

damage suit against the Missouri Pa-cific in the district court of Douglascounty, after having been tossed somesixty-fiv- e feet by an engine, won outalso in the supreme court

Cost of Life Insurance.Figured on the basis of the vote cast

in 1908. every man in Nebraska whohas attained his majority spent $13.70for life insurance last year. This rep-

resents an Increase over the precedingyear.

New LieutenantThe adjutant general's office has au-

thorized the election of a second lieu-

tenant in the Gatling gun section atBeatrice, that section having recentlyincreased its strength to thirty men.

Go to Fort Riley.There will be no state camp for the

Nebraska national guard this year, ex-

cepting the rifle teams. All the restof the guard will be taken to FortRiley. Adjutant General Hartlgan hasrefigured the expense of taking theguard, amounting In all to about 1.100men, and believes that he can send allof the boys to Fort Riley on the $30.-00-0

that Is available for the purpose.Some of the companies may, however,be left behind unless they are ableto show a strength of at least forty-thre- e

men.

Net Like Sample.Superintendent Percival of the Nor-

folk asylam has notified the stateboard of public lands and buildingsthat the coffee delivered to his institu-tion by-th- e H.P. Law company' doesnot conform to the sample which wassubmitted to the board when the con-

tract waa let Dr. Percival sent asample of the coffee to the board andaccording to Secretary of State Junkinit la not like the coffee that wasbought The superintendent will benotified to reject the shipment as soonaa the board can get together.

Model Submitted in Fall.Daniel C. French, who has a con-

tract to construct the Lincoln monu-ment, to be located on the groundsof the state house, has written to F. M.Hall that he will not submit the modelmtil next fall. Mr. French said in:1s letter that the model bad beencompleted, but that he is shortly leav-n- g

for Europe and therefore he de--vir- es

to look over it again before send-n- g

It to Nebraska. He believes afteru absence of a few months he wille more able to &y whether the mod--1

Is up to the standard desired.

The debate Friday continued to beof an animated character. It was par-ticipated in by Messrs. Cummins,Root. Aldrich. Borah, Bailey, Hey-bur- n

When Mr. E!kins called attention tothe connection of the Canadian gov.ernment with the Canadian roads, Mr.Bristow declared the American gov-ernment had built the Union Pacificrailroad and presented it to its own-ers.

Mr. Smoot came to the assistanceof Mr. Bristow in contending for theadoption of the long and short haulamendment, whereupon Mr. Elkinscharged that the effect would be toraise rather than decrease local non-competitive rates.

PLEASES SCHURNUN

Cornell President Sees Good inBig Philanthropy Scheme.

Believes Congress Should Grant Request for National Ch.ter

Would Change Only OneSmall Detail.

Ithaca, N. T. In an addressbefore the Council congress onFriday night President Jacob GouldSchurman of Cornell commended thescheme for the Rockefeller foundationfor which congress has been askedfor a national charter. PresidentSchurman devoted his entire speechof several thousand words to this sub-ject and In summing up he said:

"I recognize that section No. 2 of thebill, which defines the object of theRockefeller foundation, authorizes andempowers that foundation to do any-thing and everything which may pro-mote and advance human civilization,that is to say, morals and religion, artand science, manners snd social Inter-course, and aU that concerns the po-

litical, economic, and material wellbeing of Individuals snd communities.This is a vast field for the exercise ofphilanthropy.

"But Mr. Rockefeller has conceiveda vast scheme of philanthropy, for thebenefit of his fellow citizens and man-kind. His character, ability and or,ganlzing skill are adequate guaranteesthat he will carry out his schemewisely and successfully, with incal-culable benefit and blessing to man-Lin- d.

It is in the interest of the na-

tion that he be given a free band inthe exTcise of his colossal benefi-cence. So long as he is active or hisInfluence remains It would be wiseand safe to give the foundation thesort of organization he desires. Neith-er now nor hereafter does it seem nec-essary to limit the scope of his benefi-cence, which Is coextensive with theefforts of mankind to attain a highercivilization.

"The only change I would desire tosee In the proposed bill is the total orpartial elimination of the method cfselecting trustees by Theorganization might well be left a closecorporation, if Mr. Rockefeller so de-

sires, for a generation. But after thattime I am confident that it would inureboth to the efficiency of the foundationand to the public welfare to say noth-ing of the satisfaction of the sentimentof a democracy If the majority of thetrustees were appointed by the presi-

dent of the United States, with theadvice and consent of the senate, orselected by some other high abiding,governmental agencies that may fairlybe regar-Ie- d as representing the peo-ple of the United States, whose wel-

fare is the primary object of the im-

mense and glorious benefaction."
