A. J. Gimtln of Kii.xr.ey was registered
at the Paxton Monday" to confer with his
ffn, Frank J. Gutt!n, a romlne.nt attor
ney of Salt Lake City. The elder Gustin
Wt late In the evening for the east, while
his son returned to Utah.
Mr. Gustln, nr., wua niw of the most
prominent factors ii the sugar rate war
which whs settled pt P.in Francisco a few
weeks aA ilM he is now working to stir
up agitation In favor of a postal freight
rate to be adopted by all the railroad, llnej
of this country.
The sugar rate case. In which Kearney
merchants were nrlayed agnln?t the South
ern Pacific. Is a remarkable history of
railroad Htlgr.tlon and was really begun In
Lincoln elevrn years ago. At that time
Mr. Gustln, was a wholesale dealer, but he
found he was placed at a disadvantage with
Omaha jobbers owing to the unequal sugar
rates. He took the matter up with John
L'tt, a representative of the Rock Island
In this city, who at that time waa located
In Mneoln at the head of the freight de
partment of another road. Concessions
were mado which were not altogether sat
isfactory. Subsequently Mr. Gustln found
an overcharge of IS cents on a bill of foods
from Chicago. These overcharges were
made with such frequency and, to Mr.
Gustln's mind, with such Injustice, that he
decided to fight, and a suit was brought
against the Burlington for the I cents.
That case la now a matter of record. It
was appealed from one court to another by
the litigants and cost hundreds of dollars,
but In the end Mr. Gustln won the suit.
Beglanlag of the Case.
In iftS9 he sold out and engaged In busi
ness In Kearney. Ha had made a close
study of tariffs and Is considered one of the
best Informed men on freight tariffs In the
country. Kearney at that time was pay
ing a rate of T5 cents on sugar from San
Francisco which waa delivered In Omaha for
60 cents. The case was brought before
the Interstate Commerce commission and
was afterward taken Into court, where it
was defended by William R. Kelly, general
solicitor for the Union Pacific
"Mr. Kelly made an able defense, ad
mitted Mr. Gustln, "and the California
courts a few weeks ago, you will remember,
decided that while the Interstate Commerce
commission had no right to fix rates for
the railroad company, it did have the right
to apply them."
This case Is partly responsible for the
unique fight that Is now being made by
Mr. Gustln. This Is the hope that legis
lative or other action which will bring
about a system of freight rates built upon
the American system of postal rates.
"I find," said Mr. Gustln, "that the rail
roads last year carried In round numbers
1,600,000,000 tons of freight. The value of
this freight varies, according; to the class,
tonnage and distance hauled. Statistics
compiled by the railroads themselves, show
that the earnings on this amount of freight.
If dlstanoe and classification were elimin
ated, would be 11. 03 per ten, or 8 cents per
hundred pounds, which Is the same as
ununr iiiw present system or ciassinea
rates, baaed on tonnage and distance.
"In other words, If a uniform rate were
established that would be the same,
whether the haul, regardless of' tonnage or
class, "were for five miles or 1,000 miles, the
earnings of the railroad companies would
be the same as now. In fact, they would
be nearly doubled by the Increased busi
ness done.
Same with Passenger Rates.
"This looks remarkable, doesn't It, on
first glance, but It would work the same
with passenger rates. Tour street car doea
this. It charges a flat rate of 6 cents
and the passenger can ride a block or go
to the end of the line. The aggregate,
however, equalises the difference of dls
tance. I find that 60 cents would be the
pasesnger rate for any distance, according
to the gross earnings of the passenger
traffic. In other words, a 80-cent rate, re
gardleM of distance, would give the rail
road company all the earnings they now get
on a rate based on the distance.
"The law works the same In the express
department. In fact, the railroad com
panies carry moro express matter than
mall, yet the government pays $5,000,000 or
$3,000,000 more for carrying Its mall than
the express companies pay the railroads
for carrying their goods.
"See what a postal system of freight
rates would mean! The thousands of
bushels of apples now rotting annually on
the ground In the Sacramento valley could
be carried to markets where they do not
raise apples. The acres of stumps of
Wisconsin could be sold profitably for
fuel In states where they have no wood.
Nebraska has miles and miles of streets
which could be profitably macadamised If
It could have the stones hauled here
cheaply enough from the mountains. Straw
that Is now going to waste on our prairies
- could, be taken to the mills and converted
Into pulp. We are a wasteful country and
we are wasteful because we can not reach
markets profitably."
Field Club Wants Slora Ground.
The Omaha Field club, which has long
had the r.se of about eighty acres of the
county poor farm for a nominal rental, has
asked the Board cf County Commissioners
for an additional forty seres, leaving only
about that amount of ground for the use

IMPLEMENT HOUSE DIVIDES
Aoltaaaa A Tajlor Machine Company
Mill Open la I laroln ana
Des Moines.
The Aultman & Taylor Machine company
will remove from Omaha. An offlVe and
warehouse will be established In Lincoln
and the business of the local house will be
divided hetween the IJncoln branch and the
new house at DfS Molne.
The company has been doing business In
the city for a number of years and occuple
quartets at Ninth and Jackson streets. It
handles, principally, threshing machines,
traction engines snd similar agricultural
machinery. F. L. Ioomls, who has been
manager of the company, has been trans
ferred to Minneapolis and H. A. Donovan
has been made mar.-igrr In Lincoln and has
temporary charge here.
"We ere msklng this move." nold a mem-
l ber of the firm, "because we want to get
j nearer our competitors. Some of them are
in L.ncoin ana we reel we can nanma our
business better from there. We are ar
ranging for a building to be put up there
and as soon as it Is ready Mr. Donovan wfll
go there to take charge. The Omaha house
will not be closed at once. We will have
our old business to handle In the summer
season and will not dbwontlnue before that
Is over."
Lincoln papers speak of another Imple
ment house leaving Omaha to go to Lin
coln, the Longman Implement company, but
no such house is to be found in the Omaha
directory.
The death of Martin Klngmnn, reported
In the press dispatches, will make no differ
ence In the business of the Kingman com
pany In Omaha. This Is the :atemcnt
made In the local offices. The Kingman
Implement company and the Kingman Plow
company are nearly Identical so far as the
Interests concerned. Mr. Kingman Is tho
founder of both. It la believed the succes
sor for the dead president will bo chosen
at the coming annual meeting. L. S. King
man, a son cf tho head of the house. Is
vice president cf the Implement company
and W. B. Kingman la treasurer. V. R.
Taylor Is vice president of the plow com
pany. G. H. Schlmpff has also been closely
connected with Mr. Kingman. Local offi
cers of tho company are wondering which
one of these will become the head of the
bustnosa
INJURIES ANDBAD DREAMS
Ailments Sustained by Falling; In

Whether or not the causing of bad dreams
Is good for the foundation cf a damage suit
Is to be determined In the district court.
Amanda Johnson, the domestic, who fell
through the Poor of the kitchen of tho
house occupied by Joseph Polcar, managing
editor of the News, at 1130 Georgia avenue,
November 6, and was precipitated Into a
cistern underneath, has filed a suit for dam
ages In the sum of 16,000 from Charles R.
Lee, the owner of the property. She alleges
that the floor was left In an unsafe and
dangerous condition and was not properly
constructed. Mrs. Johnson represents that
she Is the mother of two small children de
pendent upon her for support and that the
accident has permanently and seriously Im
paired her health. She says she lost two
teeth and had her spine and Jaw hurt, be
sides sustaining internal Injuries by reason
of being submerged In five and one-half feet
of "cold and slimy" water for. about forty
five minutes. As waa related In The Bee
at the time she kept her mouth and nose
above water only by standing on her toes.
Among other things her sleep Is disturbed,
she says, by repeated visions of herself fall
ing Into the cistern. ..

regarding the Elmer K. Thomas case,
which has Just been made public, rov
ers the work done by the police and detec
tive departments snd Includes reports of
Captain cf Police Mostyn, Chief of Detec
tives Dunn, Detectives Drummy, Maloney,
Paitullo and McDonald. In toe main the
various features of Chief Donahue's report
have been published from time to time In
The Bee.
The report shows that every clue re
ceived has been run down; that the places
where explosles are sold have been Investi
gated; that the livery stables have been
called on for reports of rigs let on the
night of the explosion; that the movements
of persons known or suspected to have any
personal emnlty toward Mr. Thomas or
liable to have any motive which might
prompt them to be In any manner con
nected with the Tlwrmaa affair, have been
traced.
The chief's report begins with a report
from Captain Mostyu, who was In charge
at the police station at the time of the
explosion. It opens as follows:
OMAHA. Dee. X. 1904.
To the Honorable the Hourd of Fire and
Police Commissioners of the city of Omaha:
uentlemen t or your information 1 re
spectfully submit report regaruing the ex
plosion which occurred at Hie residence of
Mr. timer Thomas, 43l! Douglas street,
eany on the morning of Novemoer ti, 1M4,
setting forth in detail the work done by
this ai'parltueul in the case up to the pres
ent time.
The report of Captain Mostyn, who was
In charge at the time of the explosion, gives
in detail the action of the department Im
mediately following the explosion, copy of
wnicn louows.
' Captain Mostyn'a Report,
Captain Moatyn's report Is, In part, as
follows:
At 1:48 this morning (Tuesday, November
22) Officer Cullen called up the station from
Sixteenth and Cuming streets and said that
he heard an explosion but was unable to
locate It. A few minutes later Mr. Wade
called up from 602 South Fortieth street
and reported having heard an explosion.
but could not locate it- Soon after the
World-Herald called up and asked for their
reporter, who took a message over the tele
phone, and left the station on a run with
out Buying a word. 1 called up the World
Herald office und asked If they had any
information about an explosion, ana iney
Informed me that the home of hilmer hi.
Thomas had been blown up by a bomb.
I took Sergeant Cook and Detectives llelt-
feld and Donohoe with me In the emergency
rig to the Thomas house. Mr. Thomas
luted thnt hla attention wns first railed
to it by Mrs. Thomas, who said she heard
a noise ana tnen saw a iigni on ine uorcn.
1 Ha rot nn and ottened the front door and
I saw something burning on the floor of the
: porch near the door. He said it looked to
I be the slxe of a small llsh can, and the
ahoiA mn of it whs on tire. He stepped
buck Into a small hall and was about to
I take his overcoat to throw on it, when he
i changed his mind and walked Into the front
room to get a rug. He was in the act of
' picking up tho rug when the explosion oc
i curred. There was nothing that would In-
dlcate what kind of explosive waa used.
We Interviewed several parties who live
I In the vicinity who heard the explosion and
who were on the street soon after, but
! none of them had seen any one or heard
any noise other than the explosion.
I We lost some time In getting out to Mr.
! Thomas' house, owing to the fact thnt the
1 matter was not reported to the station for
some time after the explosion occurred. 1 ho
first wo knew of it was when 1 called up
, the World-Herald, which waa some time
' after the explosion was heard by Officer
Cullen. Sergeant Marshall Informs me that
Mr Benson noiinea m ku
time we were leaving the patrol barn.
Chief Relates Ills Visit.
The chief then relates his visit, with
Chief of Detectives Dunn, to the Thomas
home at :30 on the morning of the explo
sion. The chief states:
When we arrived at the house of Mr.
Thomas we looked the place over carefully.
We could tind no t.ace of the bum.i. or
whatever It was that exploded, or uny'hlug
that would aid us in tiaclng tho ir-me to
any particular person, in an liuervlew
wl'h Nora MeQulre. who was In tho em
ploy of Mr. Thomas and who slept In the
houne on the nighi of the explosluu, suo
stated that Immediately after the exp o
ston she heard a noise whiyji sou .deJ
as though someone whs running through
the cornfields or weeds near tuo h)Ue,
but he did not look out of the
window, thinking it was one of the
neighbors who had h. aru the explosion
and was running over to the h use.
A thorough nearchvWas made aroui d the
..i in ..rv (Itr.'ptimi in an endeavor to
1 find s mcthlng w hich might aid ui in ascer-
tHliiing what tne noise sne in-aiu wus, uui
wl.hout results. Sutisfyl- g ourselves that
no Ling material could be liarnrd at tha
residence cf Mr. Thomas, we came ba k to
the otlloe and Detectives Drummy, Moloney,
Paitullo and McDonald were detail d to
give this cane their exclu Ive i t ent on.
Tuendny, November 22. Cuptnin Dunn de
tailed PetectUes 1'attullo and McD uald to
visit all pbiceti wheie ertplo. Ives are sold
to Inquire If anyone had recently purchased
gen explosive vt any kind.
The detectives' report states they were
unable to find any place where there had
been sold anything In the shape of a bomb,
or had sold any dynamite sticks or any
thing -of that nature.
The chief next refers to eome parties
made known to him as poslb'e enemies of
Mr. Thomas cn account of a civil suit Mr.
Thomas had been successful In handling for
his clients. This feature, which was ex
ploited to tome extent In a local paper, also
was run down by Detectives Pattullo) and
McDonald, with ths result that the parties
Involved were found innocent cf any impli
cation in the Thomas affair.
That Livery Stabin Incident.
The detectives reports on trie investiga
tion of the livery stables are next given
In detail. This is followed by the case
reported of a man seen going to his work
near Twenty-ninth and Farnam streets at
an early hour after the explosion. The
man was at the time followed by two of
Mr. Thomas' friends to a suloon at 713
North Sixteenth street. This case was
fully published In the papers at the time.
Then the case of two men reported to
have been seen by Dr. S. B. Hall on a
late Farnam street car going west. Part
of Detectives McDonald and Pattullo's re
port on this "clue" reads as follows:
We beg respectfully to report today we '
hsd an interview with Dr. flail regarding 1
the story he hud told the Dally News re
porter. Dr. Hull states the story was
mostly a fabrication. We then went and
looked up all the conductors that ran
evening cars. All of them emphatically
denied ever having had any conversation
with any passengers on their car thut
evening regarding suspicious characters on
the car.
"While Mr. Thomas was deputy county
attorney," states tho chief In his report,
"he prosecuted one Edward Nightingale
for highway robbery. Conviction , was had
and Nightingale was sentenced to ten
years In the penitentiary at Lincoln. Night
ingale has since been paroled and now re
sides with his parents In this city. At ths
suggestion of Mr. Thomas, Detectives
Drummy and Maloney were detailed to as
certain his whereabouts on ths night of
the explosion. Copy of their report fol
lows." The report states that Nightingale ate
his supper on the evening In question, then
read a book until I o'clock and went to
bed.
Rl Driven at lllarh Speed.
The next clue reviewed by the chief Is
one received from Albert Our man of
Forty-seventh and ' Leavenworth streets.
Five or ten minutes before the explosion
Mr. Carman saw a rig driven at a high
rate of speed in a southeasterly direction
over a cut-off road running past his place.
Detectives Drummy and Maloney wsrt de
tailed on this clue, and they reported learn
ing that a rig was hired at the Club sta
bles. Thirty-first and Leavenworth streets,
t 12 o'clock and returned at 1 o'clock.
They succeeded In locating the man who
hired the rig In question. The detectives
state In their report they brought the man
who hired the rig to the station and ques
tioned him. It was learned by the de
tectives thst the man In question was out
riding with a womsn. The couple gave
the route they traversed. Their names are
withheld from publication, at least for the
present. Detectives Pattullo and McDonald
also were detailed on this due, but not
the slightest connection was established be
tween the rig hired from the Club stables
and the Thomas case, the reports read.
A report that one of Tom Dennlson's
horses and buggies were seen at Forty
Eighth and Maybrrry avenue on the morn
ing of the explosion was Investigated by
Detectives McDonald snd rattullo, whe" re
ported that Tom Dennlson's horses were
all asleep on the night In question, so far
as they were able to learn.
Movements of Tom Dennlaon.
In regard to the movements of Tom Den
nlaon on the night In question. Chief of De.
tectlves Dunn says In his report of the
movements of persons who might have any
enmity toward Mr. Thomas or a motive for
committing the crime:
In looking tip the whereabouts of Tom
Dennlson on the night of November 21. 1
find that he was In the Di"1r.-tler saloon
until 1 o'clock, when he left there and
caught a Sherman avenue car which crosses
Douglas street going north st that time.
The conductor, I Oeltxen, and the motor
man, A. Venable, both distinctly remember
his riding with them and getting off on
Yates street. Mrs. Dennlson sava It was
1:10 when Tom got home, as she" looked at
her watch, which was on the dresser at
the time, and she says she always wakes
and looks at her watch when Tom comes
home at night. The hired girl was also
awake and says It was 1:10 when Tom came
home. Mrs. Dennlson says Tom did not
leave the house again until between 8 and
t the following morning.
In conclusion Chief Donahue states In his
report to the commissioners:
I wish to state further that I have told
Mr. Thomas at different times that 1 should
be glnd to have him make any sutrrestlons
he. mlpht desire and should he glnd to In
vestigate any clues or theories he might
have. In conclusion, I desire to sav that
this department has worked hard nn'd dili
gently on this case snd will continue to do
so. Every possible cine has been or Is being
Investigated regardless of reports to the
contrary. The attitude assumed bv the
World-Herald and Omnha Dully News has
been very detrimental to the case. Thev
hnve caused to be published absurd anil
ridiculous theories and riven this depart
ment credit for them. They have misrep
resented the attitude and misquoted mem
bers of this department. Thev hnve heaped
abuse and Insult upon the officers working
on the case. They have endeavored to Im
press the public with the Idea that the de-
rartment has been doing nothing to bring
he person guilty of this outrage to justice,
and from the start they hnve expressed nn
anxiety to have some person arrested for
this crime whether or not there was nnv
evidence to In nny way connect him with
It or upon which a conviction could be ob
tained. This we have failed to do and shall
continue to fnll to do until such time as
we are able to produce sufficient evidence
to warrant us In making an arrest.
