The Omaha push corn market Friday
closed higher than it has been far almost
two months, pr sinca Ltecemtter 1. The

port from Omaha to New York 18 cents,
from Omaha to Philadelphia 17 cents and
to Baltimore 17 cents. The southern roads
then made their tariffs open at 12 cents.
Tha people who will benefit by the fight are
those who had on hand grain bought with
the old rate in view and are in a position
to ship it out before peace Comes in.
Omaha elevator companies have consider
able stocks.
Dlreet Effect oa Shlpplaar.
Since the cutting of rates began some
cars of grain which were already loaded
have been held on the track until the rate
should go Into shippers. To hold these cars
a demurrage charge is made by the road
of $2 a day for each car. As the gulf rate
has been reduced It Is supposed 6 cents,
a saving over the old figures of about 30
a car can be made, so that the shippers
can afford to hold cars for Ave or six days.
The new rate is diverting some of the corn
to the eastward, but the greater part of It
continues to go south to New Orleans,
Galveston and Port Arthur.
The first Information most of the brokers
and grain men In Omaha had of the rate
outbteak was January 17, when the papers
announced It. ' Chicago started an outcry
and the Interstate Commerce commission
Investigated the matter. It was then
stated a midnight tariff bad been put in
for certain Kansas City houses to move
1.400 cars of corn, the reduction being from
18 to 14 cents. Tha eastern rate from Chi
cago at that time was 15 cents, so that
nothing could be carried to the Atlantic
seaboard. The former rata to European
points via Baltimore and New Orleans wera
from t to cents In favor of the southern
port. When the reduction was made tha
advantage of the gulf amounted to I or 10
cents.
January 23 It was announced the eastern
roads and the Chicago-Omaha carriers had
decided at a conference to meet the cut.

NEW JUVENILE COURT LAW
CommiUsei Ooifer on Its Provisions and
Determine oi Changes.
GOES AFTER PARENTAL DELINQUENTS
Home Influence to Be Made Respon
sible for Chlldrea anal Probation
Officers for Omaha to Be
Given Salaries.
The joint committee representing the Real
Estate Exchange, the Woman's club, the
Woman's Christian Temperance union and
the Douglas county bar association met
yesterday afternoon In the city hall and
agreed on certain additional provisions for
the juvenile criminal court bill which they
hope will become a law during this sesalon
of the legislature. II. W. Pencock will go
down to Lincoln Monday morning to confer
with Senator Mockett for the Incorporation
of the ideas of Judge Llndsey of the Denver
child's court in the N&braaka bill. The
Lincoln and the Omaha people are united
In wishing to obtain a aw along the lines
of Mr. Llndsey's suggestion, and senate
file No. 6 which was Introduced by Mr.
Mockett Is now found not to contain at
least two of these ideas.
The principal thing to be Insisted on In
the new bill will be the responsibility of
parents and other persons who may have
been found to have contributed In any way
to the dellnquence of children. The bill
will provide for such upon conviction a
fine of not more than $1,000 or Imprison
ment for not more than a year or both.
These penalties may be conditioned and
finally waived upon the promise of proper
conduct on the part of the parent or other
person. The first bill did not provide for
any dellnquence on the part of parents.
Pay for Probation Officers.
'The second most Important addition will
be a salary for the probation officer. The
first bill provided for services without com
pensation but the new one following the
suggestions of Judga Llndsey provides for
a salary of )1,200 with un allowance of
expenses up to tuOO annually. This is for
counties having a population of 100.000.
There te to be a probation officer and an
asslntant (one a woman) and the pay of
the asaiHtant will be left to tha dlacretlon
of the authorities.
The amendments Include a broader defi
nition of n delinquent or neglected child.
Under this head will come any child undtr

for support, lii homeless, destitute and
