(Special.) Tho railway commission this afternoon Issued the following emergency order requiring railroads to furnish shippers of grain with box cars properly equipped with Inside doorsC Cnmnlalnta having been made that cer tain of the railroads doing business be tween stations in the state of Nebraska have failed to furnish box cars properly equipped with inside doors for the ship ment ot grain, tne commission upon in vestigation finds that It has been the uni versal and long-continued practice of the carriers doing business In this state to furnish with box cars ordered for grain shipments Inside doors known as grain doors; that such Inside or grain doors are necessary for the prevention of loss of grain by leakage In the course of trans portation and are a facility which may rea sonably be required of all carriers engaged In the transportation of grain between sta tions In thisVstate. In the opinion of the commission the above findings are indis putable and a formal hearing unnecessary. The failure of the carriers to furnish such grain doors to each shipper places an un due burden upon and unjustly discrimi nates against the grain shipper not fur nished with cars so equipped. Without ctlon by this commission tho only re course left the shipper is to furnish the earn doors at his own expense and await the pleasure of the carriers In adjusting his claim and reimbursing him therefor. By reason of the foregoing the commis sion deems that an emergency exists. It is inereiore ordered mat tne common car riers engaged In the transportation of grain between stations in, Nebraska be and the same are hereby notified and directed In filling orders for cars for grain shippers within Nebraska to fuimlsh box cars prop erly equipped with Inside or grain doors. This order shall become effective March 30, 1908. Briefs In Saloon Case. In briefs filed In the supreme court brought by the Anti-saloon league of Wayne to compel the council to refuse a license to Peter Thomsen to fun a saloon, Elmer Thomas, attorney for the Anti saloon league complains of the various methods of the courts in treating such questions, and Charles' L. Frltscher, at torney for Thomsen whacks at Thomas for being "Big I." Mr. Thomas complains in his brief, because the courts have no de finite rule by which liquor license cases are to be tried. Prohibition Fight Grows Warm. The prohibition fight, already red hot. got new life today by the, circulation of cards by the saloon advocates. The cards have printed across the top In large letters, "Have you registered last fall?" Then fol lows the information that March 28 is regis tration day and a cross after the word "for" means against saloons and after the word "against" means saloon the question submitted being prohibition. It is probable the prohibition element will adopt the slogan of the saloons "Have you registered laat fall?" Teat of Occnpatlon Tax. The validity of the ordinance providing an occupation tax to be levied against the two telephone companies doing busi ness here is up to the supreme court. The Nebraska Telephone company In the dis trict court attempted to restrain the coun cil from levying the tax on the ground that to do so would be to compel the com pany to pay double taxes. The lower court found for the city and the telephone com pany appealed. Governor to Help Stockmen. Governor Brreldon, who will go to Wash Ington with memebers of the South Omaha Live Stock excange, to interview the sec retary' of the interior regarding the quar antine against Nebraska, will urge the de partment to accept the quarantine procla mation Issued In this state. This proclama tion quarantined only those counties in which cattle affected with scabies were found. The government, however, quaran tlned against the entire state. If this quar. antlne la strictly enforced It means an lm mense loss to cattle men for the reason that all cattlo' shipped to 8outh Omaha for eastern shipment are placed in the quaran tine division. This prevents speculators bidding on the cattle and leaves the ship pers at the mercy of the packing houses South Omaha Is hard hit by the quaran tine because shippers can get their cattle nspected by the government and shipped to Kansas City and Sioux City. Governor Bheldon believes the way to wipe out the scabies la to protect the uninfected coun ties, but he sees no reason for a quarantine against the entire state because a few coun tlea are infected. The governor, through Dr. McKIm, state veterinarian, has complete statistics on the matter, showing just where the Infected herds are located. Some of the cattle raisers are willing to contribute money foe the payment of government In spectors, operating under the Sheldon quar antine. Bar on Insurance Company.
