The reason nlven for cutting the differ
entlal Instead of the through rate, which
resulta In the same thing, la that the rate
to tho Mississippi river from Omaha will
rot be made lower than the local ratea
Into Omaha from Nebraska points. Had
a new tariff been Issued by the Northwest
em quoting rates 2 cents lower from Ne
braska points to Chicago, there would
have been a number uf station In the
state where the rate would have been
lesi to the Mississippi river than
to thla city. The Interstate com
merce law doea not permit a hlrher
rate to be charged for the short
than the long haul and such a tariff
woud have necessitated the cutting of the
local rates, which Is exactly what the
Chicago Oreat Western desires. By outttng
the differential east of the Mississippi the
rates to the river are maintained and thla
contingency Is- avoided. Another cut by
the Chlrngo Great Western will wipe out
thla differential entirely.
Pniiled Over Thla Cut.
The action of the Oreat Western In out-
ting the steel and sugar ratea from Chicago
to the Missouri river caused a gra.t deal of
comment among local railroad men. Therre
ft seems to be a division of opinion aa to
whether the cut va mode by Mr. Btlckney
aa a continuation of the grain rate fight, or
hether he haa started another distinct
war. It seams to be the general belief,
however, that the move Is closely associated
with the grain rate war and that still other
commodities will oe hauled cheaper than
tho present tariff quotations before the fight
Is over, one ral'.road man explained the ac
tion of the Great Western by saying it la
the desire of the local Jobbers to be placed
on a parity an far aa rates are concerned
with the central Iowa Jobbing polnta and
that Mr. Btlckney is willing to ao place
them on account of the prestige it will give
him with Omaha merchants. It aeema that
on account of the difference In ratea be
tween Omaha and interior Iowa Jobbing
polnta the merchants of thla city have been
unable to extend their business very far
into Iowa. If they could get the aame rates
west, however, that apply to Dos Molnea,
for Instance, they could, it Is pointed out.

day for the purpose of deciding on the ratea
to bo in effect from association territory,
which extends from Chicago and Bt. Louie
on tho wist to Denver, Colorado1 Springs,
Choyenno and Pueblo on the west, the fol
lowing ratea Were ugreed upon:
Beason tickets will t sold dally from

The association will hold another meeting
next Thursday for the purpose of equalis
ing rates from the west between Chicago
anl St. Louis. It was explained by a
passenger man that In case the low ratea to
Bt. Louis are not equalised by reductlona to
Chicago daring the exposition all of the
western travel will take advantage of the
concussions to Bt. Loula and thus leave the
lines entering Chlcugo from the west with
out passenger traffic. The turning of all
the business via St. Loula would alao cause
a congestion there which It would tax the
capacity of the roods to care for.

WITHNELL GETS INJUNCTION
CASE UN, QUE IN NEBRASKA
Batcher Sara for Over llaadred Thou
sand Dollars from Defendant
of Slur Samea.
A suit that like somebody's spring med
icine. Is peculiar to Itself." and that more
over Is entirely original In the Judicial
history of thla state, has Just been brought
at Nebraska City.
The plaintiff la a butcher named John B.
Sutton and the defendant's name la legion,
to wit, the Morton-Oregson Packing com
pany. Rutrhers' Loral union. No. 122, Ama
gamated lieef Cutters and Butcher Work
men's fnlon of North America, the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, and 170 indi
viduals composing the membership of these
various concerns and unions, all of whom
are named.
The atory of the case Is nearly as compli
cated as the title of it. Sutton allegea
the following to be the facta In the case,
so far aa ha ia concerned: At the time of
a strike In the packing house concern of
the Morton-Oregson company a year or
more ago, Button volunteered to go to
work in spite of the strike, and was
promptly let out by the local union and
labeled as a "scab." He then found that
the Morton-Oregson company would not
accept of his proffered services for fear
that by so doing an adjustment of the
strike with the union would be rendered
impossible. Then Sutton tried to get a
Job on the railroad, but they would not
have him unless he was a union man, so
he went back to the union and asked for
reinstatement, allowing that he was ready
once more to conform to all the rules and
regulations, but the union refused to take
him back under any circumstances and, as
he states In his declaration, he was thereby
put to great privation, suffering and want.
The total of damages asked for by Sutton
from the various defendants amounts to
the tidy little sum of $123,000. The case will
be tried at Nebraska City next week before
Judge Oesten, Lyle I. Abbott of this city
appearing for the defendants.

"It is a long time since there were so few

Police Judgo Berka as he scanned the
police court record, which showed only
Ave lawbreakers brought to the oity Jail
in one day and night. "A few weeks ago
there were six arrests In the same length
of time, but yesterday's record . goes

Of the five arrested two were "plain
drunks," one for Incorrigibility, another for
being a suspicious character, and the last
rodo in the ' official conveyance for ex

Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Walls of Ashiand.
Neb., parents of Mrs. Alice Shamblln, who
committed suicide nt the Klondike hotel
Wednesday evening by swallowing carbolic
acid, arrived in Omaha to bury their daugh
ter yesterday. After services at Brailey &
Dorrance's undertaking chapel, Rev. C. W.
Savldge officiating,, the remains of the
daughter were taken to Laurel, Hill ceme
tery for Interment.
Mr. and Mrs. Wells were much affected
when they beheld the body of their daugh
ter at the morgue and to think of her tragic
death. Mr. Wells said:
"The newspaper reports that we had writ
ten our daughter telling her to come home
within three daya or not at all were Incor
rect. That girl at the Klondike hotel mis
represented the facts to the reporters, or
someono was mistaken. We wrote to Alice
and asked her to come home to stay or to
visit us with a friend who lives here."
Meholsoa Say a livldence Thna Far
Paints Systematic Effort of
Contractor Marphr to
Hold I p Paring.
The Inquiry of the council committee Into
paving specifications and their makers was
Interrupted by an order signed by Judge
Day of the district court prohibiting the
committee from taking moans to compel
Building Inspector Wlthnell to testify In
secret. The alternative was given of
holding open sessions, but the writ abso
lutely forbade Imprisonment of Wlthnell, as
had been discussed Thursday.
After service of the order the committee
held a brief executive session and decided
to adjourn until Saturday morning at 10
o'clock. Hearing on the Injunction will
come up at 9:30, agd the committeemen say
they will carry out the ruling of the court
aa soon as it is made, though it Is likely
another adjournment will have to be taken
until Monday.
Each of the three members received the
writ with a frown.
As a result of this injunction no wit
nesses were heard yesterday and no
progress whatever was made on the In
vestigation. Committeemen said the ob
Ject of an executive session had been ac
compllshed practically and what they con
sldered the bulk of Important testimony ac
quired. Therefore they did not particu
larly object to the doors being thrown
open, but they commented unfavorably on
the attitude of the building Inspector.
Wright Mill Argue It.
City Attorney Wright said: "Before the
writ was served the committee had decided
that It could not compel him to testify
not having the Judicial powers necessary
to cite for contempt of court and Imprison
by way of penalty. Thla we admit, but
we .do maintain the right to an executive
session. Arguments on the writ likely will
cover this latter question as the, former
contention does not appear to be one upon
which we can take' a firm stand. If the
committee has the right to pursue the
work of Investigation at all, however, it
has the right to do It In secret fully as
much as In public."
The committee had locked the doors and
was waiting for the building Inspector to
show up when Deputy Sheriff Neve and
Attorneys F. A. Brogan and W. H. De
France appeared, not long after 10 o'clock.
They rapped on the committee room door
which was opened an Inch or two by City
Clerk Elbourn.
"Let me In," demanded Neve.
"Walt a minute and I'll see," responded
Elbourn, at the same time making an at
tempt to close the door.
"No, you don't," waa the deputy sheriff's
reply, and without waiting a second he
threw his shoulder against the door, forced
It open and walked In, followed by the law
yers. De France Proposes to Know.
"We propose to see Just how much of a
court this committee Is," said Attorney
DcFrance. '
ThV writ lies against the three members
of the committee, Councllmen Nlcho'son,
Hoye and Schroeder, and commands them
To appear and show cause at 9:30 a. m.

"You can either cause Mr. Withnell to

In court," said the city attorney, and the
committee did not take long In giving him
orders to fight It,
Chairman Nicholson of the committee
talked freely of the progress made thus far.
He said:
Points to Collusion
The evidence at hand seems to show there
has been an organised and systematic ef
fort on tha part of Contractor Hugh Mur
phy and other subordinate and allied con
tractors, to have the paving specifications
fashioned so as to bar competition from
them Just as far as possible; not only
this, but i plot that in effect would be to
deprive Omaha of any paving whatsoever
In 1904, foroe competing contractors out of
busln.Ms and leave the way open In 1905
forMr. Murphy and hia companions. Thla
much has been shown to ray satisfaction.
It seems Certain, also, that the majority
momber of. the Board of Publlo Works,
Loberk and Wlthnell, have wittingly or
unwltttlngly, shown a desire to comply
with the wishes of the Murphy clique.
It has been demonstrated to us that Mr,
Murphy controls all the Colorado sandstone
brought Into Omaha, and this, with the ex
ceptlon of the Sioux Falls quartzite. Is the
only paving stone that can be obtained
here choap enough to be available; that by
knocking out specifications admitting vari
ous kinds of stone he has debarred the
Bloux Falls product and left a monopoly
for himself.
"Mr Murphy also Is interested in some
of the cheaper grades of brick paving. In
order to cut out paving block from active
compotitlon, he has Induced the board to
lump all kinds of brick, giving the cheaper
grades an undeniable advantage and mak
Ing It next to impossible for property own
ers to get brick block, no matter how
much they want. In asphalt, too, skillful
provisions concerning stone curbing and
guttering seem to make competitors de
pendent upon Murphy for the stone, thus
ruining competition from this source.
