CORN RATE IT STANDSTILL
BnrliDfUm Beady to Go Fartbtr if Olh
Lines Insist.
MILLERS NOW WANT A SHOW AT CUT
Krbrasks Maanfnrlarrrs Asks for a
Canruiloi oa Mr a I, Br fin and
the I.Ike to Domestic
Destination.
W'hlle the Burlington Is ready to mske
another cut at the grain rates If It be
comes necesmry, the opportunity has not
rome for further action. Lines Interested
In the controveray aoem to have been
dased" by the 11-cent rate to the gulf porta
and the proportional rates to the Atlantic
seaboard which followed aa a reault of the
action of the Burlington. It waa ex
pected that the Milwaukee and the Chi
cago Great Western would give the grain
rates another Jolt toward the bottom, but
theso roads have remained allent.
"They aeem to have fired their wad,"
aid a, Milwaukee mnn, 'and retired. I
presume they are waiting to aee what the
outcome of the 11-cent rate la going to be.
Everything- dependa now on the meeting
at Chicago. The representatives may be
satisfied to cry quits or they may decide
to taka a few more blows. The Burling
ton, has taken the right actlrih to bring
the matter to a focus. They followed our
IS-oent rate to the seaboard the other day
with a rate that fairly staggered the other
lines, and the Burlington is today Ir. the
position of a boy standing over a pros
trate opponent. It Is willing to withdraw
from the fight if the other lines cry
enough, or It stands ready to cut still
deeper. It is going to force the fight to
an end."
Shippers Holding; Corn.
A 'Ttock Island man said: "No corn is
moving to apeak of. Shippers are holding
from fifty to seventy cars each in the
yards at Council Bluffs, waiting for this
thing to i," sct.lnd. They are paying de
murrcge rather than ship before the rates
are settled, and they can afford to do this.
We have no word rom headquarters other
than that the 11-cent rates of the Missouri
Pacific and Burlington would bo met to
the : gulf and that proportionate rates
would be made to the Atlantic- ports. We
havo no advices regarding tLn rates to
Little Rock or Memphis. This would indl
cato that tho Rock Island Is not In the
tight so far as it affects the shipments of
grain for domestio use."
Millers la the Fight.
A unique factor has entered Into the
fight since, the announcement of tho rale
to Little .Rock and Memphis, which practi
cally let down the bars for grain ship
ments Intended for domestic consumption.
The new factor, ts the manufacturers of
corn products In this state, who make a
demand to have the grain rates apply on
corn meul. bran and other results of the
mills. Appeals to the Burlington have bean
mado by the mills at Beatrice, Mllford,
Crete and other towns about the state,
but tho road contends that the rates apply
only to grain Intended for export and
that the products of corn are intended for
domestic consumption and would not come
urfcler the tariff. Tho company asserts
further, that the rate could not apply to
manufactured products of corn. There Is
a largo and continuous movement of the
corn products out of Omaha and the
Burlington, while willing to show a lenient
policy in the movement of corn, will take
a contrary position to prevent tho tight ex
tending to a manufactured product origi
nating in Its own territory.
COLD WEATHER PERSISTENT

A pratty good article of cold weather con

A WONG THE RAILWAYS
Rarllagtoa's New Masting Plan. '
An Innovation Is to be introduced on Bur
lington sleepers between Chicago and
Omaha. The cars are to be lighted by
electricity supplied by the wheels of the
coaches. In other wor.ls, the company
proposes to utiliie ttie waste energy of the
car wheels to illuminate the coaches. The
cars are now lighted by acteylene, but
there are objections to this gas as an
llluminant for long distance railroad
coaches.
The Idea of using the enrrgy of the car
wheels for lighting purposes is not a new
one, but it Is the first time that it has
been attempted on the Burlington. Storage
batteries are provided, and after a coach
attains a velocity of over ten miles an
hour tho device on the axles begins to
take up the energy In the shape of elec
tricity and transfers It to the storage bat
teries. In thin way enough latent power
Is taken up by the batteries to furnish
light for seven hours after a car comes to
a standstill. The cars to be supplied for
the present are the sleepers and observa
tions curs of No. 12 and No. 6. The first
named train leaves Omaha at 8:05 o'clock.
The train going west leaves Chicago at (
o'clock in the evening. The coach and
chair cars of these trains will continue to
be supplied with acetylene gas. The first
train with the electricity manufacturing
device will leave Nebraska cn Monday
evening.
Promotions Follow Park.
Several more changes have occurred as
the result of the vacancies which, have fol

CHINESE CASE BEFORE MUNGER
Appeal from Commissioner Ander
son ' la . Argued and Taken
Under Advisement.
The hearing in the appeal case of Lew
,Quan, a Chinese ordered1 deported by
United States Commissioner Anderson, was
had before Judge Munger In the United
States district court. The special conten
tion in this case is that Lew. Quart came
to this country on a merchant's certificate
and subsequently became a common laun
dry laborer, and thus having abandoned
his original vocation is now within the
inhibition Imposed on tho laboring class
and la subject to deportation. This, is the
position taken by the government and was
the basis upon which his deportation was
ordered by Commissioner Anderson. The
attorney for Quan holds that It is not
within the jurisdiction of the United States
commissioner to order the deportation of
the accused, but that his duties are simply'
magisterial, and all he can do is to bind
the accused over for probable cause. ' The
further contention is that the accused has
proven his legitimate right to be in the
country and has the right to remain, re
gardless of having changed his vocation.
Judge Mungor has taken the matter under
advisement.
There is another of these Chinese cases
to be heard, being that of Leo Hop, a stu
dent, who was also ordered deported by
Commissioner Anderson, because, although
admitted as a student; he had not under
taken to do much in the student line, hav
ing devoted his studies to trying to learn
the United 8tates alphabet from the Bible
and hadn't got far enough alang yet, after
more thau a year's study, to know the
alphabet. He had become an expert In
the laundry business, which Is not recog
nised in the educational curriculum of
Uncle Sara's dominions. This case will be
taken up during some lull In the regular
court proceedings next week. It is on
these two cases that the entire six ap
peals of Chinamen already ordered de
ported will be based.

LOCAL POOR WELL CARED FOR
Associated Cbaritiss and Other Agencies
Rollers Distress Promptly.
SUFFERING REDUCED TO A MINIMUM
Several Pathetic Cases Developed
by the Present fold Snap, but
All t.lven Assistance as
Soon as Discovered.
There never was a winter when Omaha
was better able to care for Its poor and
Indigent th.in the present one, if the re
ports cf thorfl interested in this class of
work may bo taken as crlterlons. The
charitable work of the city has reached
Its high water mark for the season with
the present cold snap, but it can be said
that those who, without the necessities
of life, through misfortune, sickness or
other causes, urc being cared for as fast
as the eases are reported to the proper
authorities. Not a small amount of good
work is being done by the smaller so
cieties organized for charitable purposes
and connected with the churches, lodges,
and lit many instances neighbors have
helped tho poor of their vicinity.
Naturally, the extreme cold for the last
few days has had the effect of creating
unusual demands for fuel from the poor.
In some Instances the weather has caused
to be thrown out of employment the heads
of families who were living on tholr lust
dollar.
Slcknes Causes Much Distress.
Superintendent Morris of the Bureau of
Associated Charities notes that a number
of cases under his notice the last few days
were instances where sickness caused the
poverty. It Is further worthy of note
that nearly all of tho recent cases reported
to the Associated Charities Involved people
not over middle age. But few old persons
appear to be suffering for the necessities.
Moet of this class who are without friends
or relatives go or are sent to the county
poor farm.
A sad case was reported to Chief of Po
lice Donahue Friday. The chief sent Officer
Wooidridge to investigate. The officer
found the father, mother and five children
In dire need. In one corner of the room,
on a little cot with a winding sheet over
them, were the dead bodies of twins born
only twelve hours before. Immediate relief
was sent from the county store house.
One of the cases investigated Friday by
Superintendent Morris was of a family of
six mother, father and four children. The
mother has been sent to the Insane asylum.
The oldest boy was found seriously ill as
the result of a frozen foot, sustained while
out ulcklng up fagots. His shoes were
poor and the foot was neglected. He caught
cold In the sore foot, which may have to
be amputated, it Is said.
Lodgers at Station.
At the police station this week fifty
nightly lodgers was the regular number,
which was twice the number for the same
period of last year and the year before.
The Salvation Army workingmen's lodging
house on South Thirteenth street and the
county storehouse on St. Mary's avenue, as
well aa the other places of a charitable
nature, report many applicants for help.
HEWS OF MILITARY POSTS
MAY BE SAVED FROM SHAME
Lillian Davis to Have Second Chance
nt Reformation in Home of
Good Shepherd.
Police Matron Anderson's remembrance
of faces may save Lillian Davis a life of
shame. At least, if it is possible to recall
the girl from the downward path she seems
to be going the matron is going to do it.
Friday evening Misa bavls was arrested
with Emma Slegert . at 724 South Thir
teenth, street and charged with being in
mates ' of a disorderly house. The girls
were each fined $5 and costs In the or
dinary manner when arraigned in police
court. But when the matron sent for Miss
Davis to come to her department a touch
ing little scene followed.
"Why, this is Lillian," exclaimed the
matron in kindly tones.
The girl's face, a composite picture of
youth, attractiveness and dissipation, was
immediately blirle4 in her hands. She
then placed her arms around the matron's
neck and cried as a child for its mother.
The matron kissed the girl and dried her
tears.
A year ago Miss Davis was arrested while
drinking beer In a barn with a crowd of
young men. She then was 17 years of age.
The matron sent her to the Home of the
Good Shepherd, where she stayed seven
months and was said to have been one of
the best girls at the Institution. Recently
she left the home and was soon back to
her old haunts. Miss Dsvls la now 18 and
the police matron is making efforts to have
her returned to the Home of the Good
Shepherd.
