large hop feeding yard instead of

A RETURN TO
2-CENT FARE
IS ADVOCATED
PASSENGER RATES TOO HIGH,
SAYS PRESIDENT OF THE
ERIE SYSTEM.
WOULD GIVE PUBLIC BENEFIT
More Efficient Service Predicted with
Return to Private Ownership
Resume Competition
New York, March 1. A plea for
lower passenger rates and a read
justment of freight rates to provide
"equitable distribution" of revenue
iroiu commodity tariffs was made
today by F. D. Underwood, presi
dent of the Erie railroad, in a state
ment concerning resumption .of pri
vate control of the railroads. He
predicted one of the first benefits to
be noticed by the public will be
more efficient service.
"I am opposed to class freight
rates." Mr. Underwood said, "and to
higher passenger fares. In fact, I
think passenger fares should be re
duced to 2 cents a mile, except per
haps on certain lines serving a lim
ited territory and upon which there
are peculiar conditions. The rail
roads and the public in time will
come to understand that these great
enterprises can best prosper and the
public best be served and protected
by commodity freight rates.
Direct Tax on the People
"The passenger fare is a direct
tax on the people. Commodity freight
rates, to the individual, means al
most nothing. For instance, a man
doesn't worry particularly if he has
paid 6 cents freight on his over
coat, but if he is compelled to pay
five or six dollars more than he
formerly did for a trip back to his
old home, he thinks he is being rob
bed. Commodity freight rates im
pose the least tax on the things in
greatest use and the higher tax on
t commodity of comparatively lim
ited use. 4
"There is a certain brand of says
manufactured in an eastern city. On
a trip to the Pacific coast I priced
the saws in various cities, and I
found them selling for the same
price in San Francisco as in the city
of manufacture. What difference
does the freight make in that case
to the consumer? However, I think
the increased passenger fares to the
i'acihe coast make considerable du
fcrence."
Tl'.e pliblic is going to benefit un
der private control, he continued,
through tiie rt awakening of keen
competition among railroads. The
individual responsibility of railroads,
lie said, will he enlnenel.
Work Cut Out for Commission
Washington, March 1. Transfer
today of the railroads from govern
ment to private control marked the
beginning of great, activity at the
interstate commerce commission and
the closing up of affairs of the rail
road administration. Road officials
were notified by the commission of
its increased jurisdiction under the
new railroad law. Director General
Hines concluded negotiations on
eighteen compensation contracts by
which roads involved were paid the
annual rental due for the twenty
six months of federal operation. Set
tiement of claims was begun.
The question of operation of the
Cape Cod Canal, idle today, has not
been decided tonight. Mr. Hines has
no further authority to manage the
canal and the secretary of war and
owners of the waterway have failed
'o agree as to its value for govern
ment purchase. Department of jus
tice officials who conducted the con
demnation proceedings were with
out authority to proceed further,
having carried the case to a jury
award, which like the canal owners'
proposition, was said not to be ac
ceptable to the war department.
Railroad labor, through its rep
resentatives, attempted to agree on
its next course, as a result of the
president's advice that they await
the handling of their demands for
increased pay by machinery created
in the transportation act. It was
understood leaders would soon make
public their "plans.
ON WAY TO CALIFORNIA

T. S. Holmes of Chicago are in the

ADMINISTRATOR SEEKS
THIRTY-CENT CREDITOR
T. II. Weirich. superintendent of
the board of public welfare, serving
as administrator for the late A. J.
Seaman, is anxious to learn the
identity of an Omaha person to whom
Mr. Seaman was indebted in the sum
of 30 cents.
"Before Mr. Seaman died lie told
me the only debts he had was one
of 30 cents, the details of which he
did not tell me, and the other was
5 cents for a glass of milk," Mr.
Weirich said. "While on his bed
of sickness Mr. Seaman was worry
ing about that debt of 30 cents and
yet he failed to tell me the name cf
his creditor."
Mr. Weirich returned yesterday
from Wahoo, where Mr. Seaman
was buried Monday. .A Wahoo wo
man tcld Mr. Weirich that she un
derstood Seaman was worth $1,000,
000. Mr. Weirich stated that the
Seaman safety desposit box has not
been opened.
"Before Seaman died." Mr. Wei
ricn added, "ne worried lest we
should buy an expensive coffin. We
bought one which cost $100 and
which we believe he would have ap
proved if he could have seen it."

From Wednesday') Dally.
Mrs. F. J I. Dunbar, secretary of
the Cass county branch of the Hed

through the southern portion of the

any way the work of this splendid
organization. Mrs. Dunbar was in
terested in getting in touch With any
cases that might need relief and for
mer service men who had failed to
receive proper settlement with the
government in regard to allotments
or who might need advice on the in
surance quest ion." A number of cases
of disability among tlie former ser

Mrs. Dunbar and will be taken uj

adequate relief for them. The home

From Wednesday's Dally.
Dr. W. T. Spencer, deputy staio

mowing that the co-operative chol
era control work as carried on in
Nebraska by the United States bu
reau of animal industry and the Ne

iry. has resulted in small loss of
swine growers. He has no definite
information a to the number of hos
in the state during the year 19H.
.but estimates the number at 4.500.
144 head. He says the total loss
from cholera during the year did not
exceed 50,000, which shows a very
satisfactory situation as compared
with some previous years when th?
loss, as estimated by the United
States department 1 of argrioulture.
has amounted to as much as 500.000
hogs. The deputy state veterinar
ian reported the following in connec
tion with hog cholera work: Xum
