' LINCOLN, Feb. .-(Speclal.)-The house today refused to say that the game of foot ball shall never again be played in Ne braska by voting for ' Indefinite postpone ment of the Cunningham bill, after a per sistent fight lasting a couple of hours. The vqte, however, by which the house In com mittee of the whole disposed of the bill, was so close as to cause uncomfortable feelings to 'the advocates of the game. The vote was 7 to 42. .' Lobblea'.and galleries were; thronrfed 'durlng the course of this de bats. University, .students ; r.ial and mole, were anxious spectators, and when tha Victory was won they set up a roar of applause. ,'... A little blase of oratory, arose In ths house soon after it convened this morning when the railroad committee reported Bow man's railroad demurrage bill for Indefinite postponement. Bowman sought to have ths bill lifted from the committee's report.

Thla Is ths bill to prohibit foot ball playing, Imposing ultimately a penitentiary sentence a a penalty. ' Cunningham, stoutly defended his bill as being a means to protect life and limb. In" Nebraska. He aaid foot ball was brutal and - dangerous and often served tt divert students' attention from their school' 4ort.' Ha read, an article from President Eliot of Harvard, condemning ths gam and another protest from a Chi cago man whose son was killed by foot ball. V - ' Windham of Cass also defended the bill. m cy.tlyg yromo 0olzu3 OsmACoMfaOMDtry.CsVlaa tty a oa4rwy Urn. 2 He declared foot ball to be a brutal com bat, exciting ths Sams brUttnb'-paslons and Instincts as did , the old coWbats of the Roman gladiators. ' He asserted? that col lege students and high school Tnlplls who dovote themselves to footbalt are poorer students than thoss who' do. net engage habitually In this Sport. .' Warner of Lancaster offered an amend ment to Include basket ball, croklnole, croquet and other such games. ' The house then was treated, to a discussion. Illus trated by objact lessons on tb subject of broad shouldeVs and good lungs fend how they might bs obtained. ' The amendment was lost. ". An amendment by Kyd of Gkge to apply the bill only to children over 1' was lost McAllister begged the house to treat the bill seriously, for It pertained to human life, which wu too precious to be trifled wUh. He said be believed Chancellor An drews made a "great mistake" In encourag ing toot ball. He said the student who went to tho Nebraska university to play foot ball had better go Somewhere else. He thought this was a poor means of adver tising the university.. Douglas was for thA bill. He said: "We send our boys . to universities to become scholars and not gladiators." Junkln of Gosper drew a vivid picture of a foot ball gams, with the players forti fied by various mechanical devices to save their several organs from destruction. Wilson of Pawnee regarded the bill as an attempt to infringe on personal liberty and pleaded for the Indefinite postponement of the bill. . ' . fc Horton of Keys Paha spoke for the bill, lie urged ths game of foot Call waa a brutal pastime and could be mads nothing else. ... After a couple of hCur.r debate the com mittee of the whola voted down tha motion to recommend the bill for passage by $7 to 43. The bill then was recommended, for In definite postponement, and cheers arose from a bevy of university students In ths lobbies. At 4:15 the house adjourned. These bills were Introduced: H.

(Special Telegram.) The house committee on public lands and buildings has finished ita Junketing trips, complied its data and will submit Its re port, possibly, today. The report in full follows: Tour Committee on Public Lands and Bulldinas hands you herewith a Dartlal re port, covering the Institutions they have visited. This report will be supplemented with a second report covering tho remain ing Institutions as soon as we get a chance to visit them. We beg to state that we have made- our recommendations, having In mind the fact tnat tne state nnanciai condition mnkes it necessary to practice economy in the ap propriations and we havo refrnined from making recommendations that we did not consider necessary for the nroner conduct 01 tne airrerent institutions: Home tor ths Friendless, Lincoln. We recommend the appropriation of $3,000 for Improvements and repairs, provided no change is made in the location ot the In stitute. Your committee found the different parts of this Institute In perfect order, the wants or the Inmates careruliy looked alter and have no criticisms to offer. It was suggested by the superintendent that If there was a little land connected with an Institution of this kind so they could raise some of their own vegetables, It would enable them to c-onsiderably econo mise in the conduct of the institution and add to the comfort of the Inmates. State Penitentiary, Lincoln. Tour committee recommends that the ap propriation asked for by the warden. $10,300 ror aaamon&i equipment, engine, ooners, motors, repairs, etc., be allowed. We would also recommend that the peni tentiary lands outside of Lancaster county be sold and the proceeds ot same be In vested In lands close to the penitentiary, provided that such lands can be purchased at a reasonable Drtce. The warden suRgests that the roof over tha east cell bulldlna. which Is of Inflamma hie material, should be replaced by a fire proof roof, the investment In cells being Jeopardized by the danger of the roof fall ing In, in esse of fire, which would destroy the new celln. We are satisfied that the warden la con ducting the affairs of this Institution In a very economical and satisfactory manner. State Farm. We recommend an appropriation for a water supply, heating apparatus and equip ment in the shape of electrio machinery, etc., for the supplying of light and power. Tour committee were unable to report from the estimates presented the cost of these different items and hence make their rec ommendations In this form. A woman's building, additional land, a sewer system, house for swine, charge ot veterinary science building, cottage for employes, etc., are desired by the director, but we did not consider this required rec ommendation at our hands. We feel that this Institution should be encouraged In every way consistent with our ability, without working an Injustice on other in stltutlons, which it is Incumbent on us to provide for. .. Asylum for Insane at Lincoln, We recommend an appropriation as fol lows: General repalra $ 6,000 Electrrc Irona and sewing machine at tachments 3,000 Repairs for laundry.. 1,000 New boilers r 8,000 Total '. $13,000 Tour committee commends the superin tendent of this Institution, which Is found In excellent shape throughout. Asylnm (or Insane, Norfolk. We recommend an appropriation of $36,000 for repairing old wing and putting the grounds in shape, making tunnels, repairing boilers and making other necessary re pslrs. Your committee feels that the cottage constructed under the supervision of the state architect during the last blennlum, now nearing completion, were .being fur nished In a manner to call for a maximum expense, especially the administration build, ing and that a great economy could have been practiced without any deterioration to the buildings. We would also suggest that the employ ment of a bookkeeper at Norfolk, with the present capacity of the Institution, should be dispensed with, as we consider such an' officer unnecessary, as the steward should perform the duties of that office. Soldiers' Home, Grand Island. We recommend an appropriation of $10,000 for general repairs, Including repairs or additions necessary to cowbarn, painting, standplpe, etc. The management Is desirous of having a new administration cottage and some addi tions to the hospitals. This Institution Is badly crowded, a great many of the Inmates being In a more or less helpless condition, and we felt that tha management waa doing everything pos sible for the comfort of the Inmates, con sidering the crowded condition. Industrial School for Roys, Kearney. Your committee recommends an appro priation of $1,600 for Increase In trade de partment, $S.000 for boilers, dynamos and general repairs; total, $9,000. We were Impressed with the policy of the superintendent of this Institution In trying tn Impress on the Inmates' that the Insltu tlon was an educational rather than a penal establishment. The policy Is to create In the inmstes self-respect and the system adopted gives them every encouragement to mske themselves trusted snd respected by others. Their records show that they are succeeding slong those lines and making frood elttsens out of whst were considered ncorrlglhle youths. Asylans taf Insane, Hastings. Wo recommend appropriations as follows- New dynamos $ I (06 Two new boilers j q, Ono new greenhouse liuQ Improving grounds, curbing, planting trees, etc gnn Two Are escapes 1 Total ...jlVSoO Your committee found this Institution also In excellent condition, everything possible leerned to be done for the comfort of the Inmates snd the system adopted when pos sible of having a dining room In each ward for tie use ol its Inmates seems to have a soothing effect on them, besides making it possible to serve the meals warm, on ac count of the shorter time necessary In set ting tables and distributing food. 1 We feel that the fourth physician asked for Is not necessary, as those now on tha payroll ought to be sble to look after the number of patients the Institution Is capa ble of carina; for. In all tha Institutions ws visited ws found sll the officers of ths institutions liv ing In the administrative departments st the expense of the state. In moat cases It Is necaaaary that the officers live In the in stltutlons. but there are sums offlcera, such as stewards, bookkeepers, farai superin tendents, etc.. Cf various Institutions that could live outside the state bulldlns; snd Perform their duties duruig regular office pours, leavlna additional room and etreei Irg a saving to the state, as your committee feels that the salaries paid such officials are high enough to enable them to pay rouse rent and living expenses.

Consider ing the vefy val uable contents of ths building, (t Is unsafe tor that purpose, and would be valuable, as a Class room when a new 'library building Is constructed. In the bolter house at Peru the shovel pian ot nring tne boilers Is adopted, and your committee feels that It- Is much more economical than the self-stokers used by a great many of the other institutions and would recommend that the shovel plan of firing be adopted at all the institutions as soon ts the change could be conveniently made.
