ROSS DEFENDS
WATER FILING
Testifies at Hearing Before State
Board cf Irrigation.
CHARGES OF BID FAITH MADE
KounUe Brothers Declare Ross Agreed
to Do More Than Able Latter's At
torney Insists Full Payment Was
Not to Be Made.
Lincoln, March 28. Charles Ross
was on tho stand iu his own behalf In
the lM-aring of the protest niado by
Kountzc brothers ugainst his water
power filing on the Platte and Klkhorn
rivets. The whole tendency of his
testimony was to show good faith on
his part in making the filing, following
It up with work to protect 's rights
and efforts to finance the pt'ct, and
also to show bad faith on the pint of
representatives of Kountze bi others
iu milking their filing through William
(;oad and also in the negotiations to
buy the rights of Itoss and his asso
ciates. The cros) examination of ltoss by I.
N. Congdon, attorney for Kountze
brothei'3, was directed to nn attempt
to show Unit not enough work hud
been done, cn the project to keep it
nlive, and also that In the negotiations
for the side ol" the rights of himself
nnd associates he had contracted to do
liver a percentage of the stock of bis
company, which he could not deliver
when the time came to make good on
the option contract.
Ross' Efforts as Promoter.
On direct examination Hoss detailed
how, when he made his filing, he gave
Rome stock tn his company to Craig
nnd the heirs of Andrew Uosewater to
clear any cloud which their previous
filings might have cast on his rights
und also the details of his plan. He
testified that in April, 1911, he went to
F. H. Davis of the First National bnnu
and gave him figures showing tho
plant was capable of earning $4uO,0()0
net per year and on that basis was
capitalized at $4,000,000. of which
Davis was to receive 40 per cent for
floating: the company.
The dealings with the Farwell Trust
company of Chicago and others were
detailed and then the entrance of
Kountze brothers through the medium
of I.ozler.
The details of the negotiations with
I.ozler were recited substantially as by
Lozler himself, the principal point of
difference being that Congdon sought
to show bv the witness that he was
not able to deliver the 85 per ceut of
tho stock In his company as provided
In the option contract signed by Ross
and Lozler. Ross maintained thnt he
could, while the Kountze Interests In
sisted he could not and that was the
renson the money was not paid on the
option. Ross also testified that he had
assurances he could finance his proj
ect If the title to his water rights wer
oluclally cleared.
Ross tentlfled he and his associates
had expended $3,500 so far on the proj
ect, of which $7,500 had been paid In
cash and the remainder In stock of the
company.
Doherty Company Backers?
It came out who the real parties In
the controversy are and why the deal
to sell the Ross company to Kountze
brothers failed. J. H. McEathron was
testifying and had aaid that he owned
25 per cent of the Robs company.
Later he said that he was now in tho
employ of H. L. Doherty & Co. of New
York, who are behind the Babcock
proposition to take water from the
Loup, and who own the Lincoln Gas
and Electric Light plants. This ex
plains why Ross was unable to deliver
the stock as proposed to Kountze
brothers, as McEathron, In response to
a question, said that he had said he
would not sell his stock, as he would
consider It disloyal to his present em
ploye, whom, he said, were the Doh
erty company.
BRYAN ATTACkThITCHCOCK
Say He Found Latter Was Fighting
Him Fifteen Years Ago.
Norloik, Neb., March 28. W. J. Bry
an addressed a large audience In the
Auditorium. He talked largely on the
present phases of the party In Nebras
ka and paid his respects particularly
to Senator Hitchcock.
Ho atartod In the l:.r lines of dis
course by hoping that tho people
would ultimately know "what corpora
tions were behind some of tho newspa
pers." Referring to Senator Hitch
cork, personally, he said:
"I found fifteen years ago he was
fighting me. I have worked for twen
ty years to make a Democrat out of
the World Herald editor, only to find
him to be a backslider. He Is now ex
pressing hlnifelf for Harmon nnd I
know this Ohio man's career and am
opposed to him."

ADVISES MAYOR TO RESIGN
Governor Aldr'rh Writes Letter to
City Executive of Alliance.
Lincoln, March 28. Ten of the six
teen of the recent grand Jury which
met at Alliance have petitioned the
governor to bring action to oust from
effleo Mayor Fred W. Harris of Alli
ance. The petition Bets out that the mar
shal, John It. Hunsacker, and the night
watchman, Floyd 13. Donovan, have
been Indicted for accepting money
from gamblers and houses of ill repute
and have permitted them to operate
without molestat'.on and that this has
been done with the knowledge of the
mayor, who has failed to remove the
indicted officials. They also allege that
he has ample knowledge of many un
lawful acts in Allianco and takes no
steps to prevent them and Is alto
gether nn unfit man for mayor.
The complaint Is accompanied by
some decidedly racy testimony taken
by the grand jury, which la submitted
In support of the complaint. The gov
ernor has written Mayor Harris con
cerning the matter and advised him to
resign Instead of waiting to have these
charges pi eased.

PACKERS DENY RUMOR
Reported to B6 Considering Plan to
Dissolve Trust.
Chicago, March 28. Whether the
National Packing company, the $15,
000,000 corporation which the govern
ment charged was the basis of the llle
gal conspiracy alleged against the ten
leading Chicago packers, will be now
voluntarily dissolved was a much dis
cussed question. .
According to one report, the packers
and their attorneys, as soon as they
have rested from the stress of the
trial, will take up the terms of disso
lution. Ownership In the corporation
Is vested In the Interests of Swift.

WAGE BILL
BECOMES LAW
British Cabinet Hopes Strikers
W.II Return to Work.
MINERS TO VOTE ON MEASURE
Officers of Federation Put Question
Up to Men British Coal Mine Own
ers Decide to Accept Minimum Wage
Bill Troops in Readiness.
Ivondon, March 28. The govern-
eient's minimum wage bill, whose ob
ject Is to put a stop to the disastrous
coal miners strike, became the law of
the land today. The end of the strika
and of the distress and suffering It is
causing to 1,000,000 miners and 2,000,-
000 other workers and their families'
and dependents throughout the coun
try is now believed to be In sight.
The Rritish coal owners after a pro
longed meeting resolved to accept the
minimum wage bill. This means that
all the mines will be opened to the
men as soon as they desire to return
to work.
At a full meeting of the Miners' Fed
eration It was decided to take an Im
mediate ballot among tho men as to
whether they desire to accept the gov
ernment's wnge bill and return to.
work.
The cabinet hopes the miners wilt
seize the excuse afforded by tho en
actment of the minimum wage bill for
returning to work. J3veu if this hopo
ohotild be realized, It will be necessary
to take measures to relieve the great
distress, and it is understood the gov
ernment already has decided on nn ef
fective method of currying this out
The protection of the miners who re
name work nlHo must be provided foe
nnd Itls thought this would necessitate
the calling out of the nrmy reserves.
WHI Create Wage Board.
It Is also likely the government will
establish n national wage board, with
an Independent chairman, to consider
and determine on proposals for the
Introduction of the minimum dally
rates of $1.25 for men and 50 cents
for boys, on tho understanding that
with these two points settled all the
miners will return to work while nego
tiations are proceeding for fixing min
imum rates for other grades of wori
men.'
Already troops are In a state of pre
paredness In Wales and at any mo
ment their reserves may be required
to protect the miners at the Brynky
nalle colliery, who have been working
for several days, and an attempt to
Interfere with whom was made. The.
miners connected with the collleriei
of the surrounding districts began t
march in a body toward Rryaklnatlet
and they were quickly followed by s
force of police rcsorves.
Trouble also Is feared In Scotland,
where, many men already have re
turned to the pits and others are na
lous to follow their example.
TWO VICTIMS RECOVERING
Word Reaches Peking That Hoffman
and Sheldon Not Fatally Injured.
Peking, March 28. Further new
has reached here of the attack made
upon three Americans by Chinese pi
rates near Wushan, province of Sa
chuen, on March 23. Bert Hicks ot
Oehkohh, Wis., was killed and Philip
Hoffman of Ohio and A. N. Sheldon ol
California were wounded.
The American legation received a
dispatch that Hoffman and Sheldoa
re recovering.
A Hankow dispatch says the three
Americans, who were In an exploring
expedition on the Yangtse river, were?
asleep in their boat when seven pi
rates, armed with swords, attacked
them at 91 o'clock in the morning. After
the Americans were cut down the pi
rates sprinkled kerosene about and
