LINCOLN', Feb. ST. (Special.) Auditor
Cornell docs not anticipate any serious trou
ble In collecting from the Insurance com
panies tho amount of the shortaRC caused by
tbo defalcation of ex-Auditor Kugene Moore.
One or two companies have disputed tho
amount claimed by Cornell to be duo the
stale, but tip to date not a sinRlo company
has refused to scttlo because the fees were
onto paid to Moore. The shortacn amounts
to f 23.208, and claims covering this amount
bavo been drawn against 103 companies.
This amount Includes all but J9.000 of tho
fees paid to Moore by Insurance companies
during tho years 1895 and 18KS.
The records of tho auditor's office show
that during the two years a total of $32.20$
was paid as fees by Insurance companies
and that of this amount only 19.000 was
turned Into tho treasury by Moore. A record
was kept of each payment as It was made,
but thero Is no way of ascertaining what
companies paid tho J0.000. Auditor Cornell
has credited this amount to the companies
making the. first payments. Thero has beeu
somo objection to this plan, It being sug
gested that tho $9,000 should bo divided
among all tho companies In proportion to
tho total amount paid.
Several of the companies assessed by the
auditor bavo asked for an Itemized state
ment showing the amount of each payment
and when It was made. This will necessitate
much additional labor In tho auditor's office
nnd will greatly delay the final settlement
of the claims.

A brief In support of tho petition of
Deputy Food Commissioner lllbbard for a
writ of mandamus to compel Auditor Cornell
to approve his salary claim was filed In tho
$ supromo court today. This suit Is entitled
tho Stato of Nebraska ex rcl. Frank A.
lllbbard aga'lnst Auditor Cornell, and A. M.
Post and B. J. Halncr of Aurora nro named
as tho attorneys for the state. An unsuccess
ful attempt was mado to Induco Attorney
General Smyth to appear as ono of tho at
torneys on tho caso. William H. Prlco ap
pears for Auditor Cornell. Auditor Cornell
contends that tho appropriation for tho ex
penses of tho I'uro Kood commission Is il
legal, for tho reason that 'the constitution
provides that bills making appro
priations for tho payment of officers
of tho government ahall contain no
other provision or subject than tho appro
priation Itself. Tho attorneys for lllbbard
place a different construction upon tho law
nnd quote supremo court decisions to show
that In many cases appropriations such as
tho ono mado In the puro food law have
been held to bo perfectly valid In every
respect.
Tho retlnuo In tho governor's ofilco pro
fesses to bo highly Indignant at tho Intima
tion In Tho Bco that they were, riding on

"You can nay for us," said ono of them
as spokesman, "that wc have had no an
nuals slnco Governor Poynter camo Into
office. Not that we would not like to have
thorn, or have any conscientious objections
to them, but as tho governor said ho did
not want us to have them, they wore sent
back. I, myself, had to return throe that
hato boen sent to me, although I rode on an
annual pass until I took this position."
"I haven't any nnnual, either," chimed In
another, "but I want you to understand that
1 am going to rldo on pasarn whenever I
havo a chanco to do so. What I don't llko
Is to havo tho name of riding freo without

SECOND DAY OF INTERSTATE HEARING
IIIiIttpII of (lie IllUhorn Itond Hires
HI VIctti of the Mnttrt Sorry
.NorfolL People Feci
Hurt.
A. Alexander, manager of the cold storage
plant, naa the first witness called. He testi
fied as to rates on butter nnd eggs In and
out of Norfolk. Cross-examined by Attorney
White, he said his firm bought In Fremont
trrrltory and that Fremont bought hero and
westward.
Johnson was recalled. When questioned
as to his claim for reparation for over
charges, ho said he expected to recover tho
j excess over the Lincoln or Fremont rate
botn being tho same. When nsked as to
how his business was affected by the rates
ug shown bv tho mans and exhibits filed
yesterday, he said' tho rates put goods Into
Omaha nt 80 cents and Lincoln at 85 cents,
whllo the local rate from Omaha to Lincoln
was 30 cents, thus giving Lincoln merchants
an advantage of 25 cents over Omaha In all
southern Nebraska. Fremont and all south
ern towns have this advantage. Norfolk
has no advantage nnd If It wantu to do busi
ness In smaller towns must loso freight In
every caso In competition with Omaha and
Lincoln. It could do doublo tho present
business were It not for the discriminating
rnte. No town in Nebraska seventy-four
miles from tho Missouri river and no town
In Nebraska or South Dakota 5S4 miles from
Chicago has as high a rato as Norfolk.
Many nrtlclcs of merchandise can be shipped
cheaper by express than freight. Ho could
not see how It would hurt tho railroads en
tering Norfolk to reduce tho rates so that
industries and enterprises could be estab
lished nnd n business In competition with
the favored towns from Illalr to Hcatrlcc.
Ouestloned by Attorney White as to tho
effect of reduced rates to Norfolk, ho said
It would benefit every town In north No
brasku. All Norfolk wanted was a fair show
and would tako its chances In getting busi
ness. Aicrlrnlt urnl Implement lluslnes.
H. A. Pascwalk was next called and testl.
fled as to rates on agricultural implements
and repairs, showing that It was Imposslblo
to mako this a distributing point, neeaut'f
rates fuvorcd Missouri river points. He had
been distributing agent for Warder, Hush
noil nnd Glcssner for rcpnlrs, but had to
give It up on account of rates. He could
sell two binders In Battle Creek and de
liver there by wagon for half the cost of
freight.
General Manager Illdwell of tho Elkhorn
stated tbut 51 per cent of tho stock of tho
Omaha road was owned by Northwestern
stockholders. He said the effect of giving
Norfolk a Lincoln rate would be to decrease
every rato from Norfolk east to Fremont
and west probably to tho west line of tho
stato nnd would also affect almost all tho
other lines In the state, forcing the Union
Pacific to begin building up rates nt Co
lumbus, and by reason of competition nt
common points reduco rates on thnt line
and all linen south of the Union Pacific. In
answer to questions as to territory, Mr.
Illdwell said It was not a thickly settled,
profitable railroad country. The line was
not r. through lino nnd the earnings per
mllo had never oxcecded $3,000. Continu
ing, ho said tho wisest heads in railway
management had teen for a long time en
deavoring to overcome tho apphVent dis
crepancies and discriminations in tariffs.
but had not succeeded. It was a matter of
great grief to the Elkhorn management that
tho peoplo of Norfolk felt that their roid
had Imposed burdenn upon them. They had
dono moro for Norfolk than any town on
the road. They had their division terminals
there, had been instrumental in getting the
sugar factory thero and ho thought at least
1,000 of the population of Norfolk was sup
ported by railroad employment. Ho claimed
that theso apparent discriminations remitted
from situations incident to the rapid devel
opment of tho country and no reason could
bo given for them except theso conditions.
Commissioner Prouty nsked: "What
amount of consideration has been given In
fixing the Norfolk rate to the desire of Nor
folk people to do a Jobbing business In com
petition with Fremont?"
Ulvrn Due Connlilern t Ion.
Mr. Illdwell said all tbo consideration
poswtblo had been given consistent with
producing the revenue required to pay op
erating expenses and glvo a legitimate
profit. Wltncts admitted that no city in
Nebraska seventy-four miles from the Mis
souri river had as high a rate as Norfolk,
but ho did not believe it posslblo for Nor
folk to ever become n manufacturing town,
and tho growth of tho place Bbowcd, In his
mind, that it had every advantage' of rates
needed. It was Impolitic to establish too
many distributing centers.
"Your Idea then Is that It pays better to
distribute from Omaha on tho local rato
than to bring to Norfolk nnd distribute on
shorter hauls?" asked Commissioner
Prouty.
Witness did not think Fremont had grown
ns rapidly as Norfolk, notwithstanding Its
advantage In rates.
Commissioner Prouty asked tho witnens
If ho thought It right to chaigo tho same
rates for shipments brought through Fre
mont, with change to Norfolk, ns for local
shipments, with attendant expenses, from
Fremont to Norfolk.
Mr. nidwell said he thought It was all
right. It was the common practice of nil
railroads.
In answer to a question by Attorney Smith
If tho Klkhorn would meet tbo Lincoln rato
If put In by the Omaha road nt Norfolk, Mr.
IHdwcll said he would havo to wait until
tho rate clerks had figured It out beforo ho
rould tell.
