Governor Oescts'i Statement.
The following statement was Issued by
ftnvrnnr n,nMn fonlrht: relative ta fttnta'a
, Attorney Burke's visit:
State's Attorney Burke called on Governor
I Deneen at o'clock this afternoon. Mr.
(- Burke discussed with the governor the
- cases of legislative corruption which are be-
lng investigated by the Sangamon county
' grand Jury. The governor informed him
' that the various commissions and depart
, ' ments connected with the executive branch
, of the state government' would cheerfully
. 1 furnish him any information in their power
! which ccmld be of service to him in the ln
. . vestlgation. f
After the Interview Governor Deneen said:
"It Is manifest from the Information which
j baa been published that legislative corrup
tion has not been confined to the members
' who have bo far confessed their connection
. with It. The very existence of the so-called
'Jack-pot' presupposes an organisation suf-
flcently strong numerically to control the
course of legislation and to collect and dis
tribute a common corruption fund to con
r trol It
"There are 1U members In the house and
. , fifty-one in the senate, and it is apparent
that a very extensive organisation would
' be necessary successfully to carry' out such
a conspiracy against the public interests
! as has been shown to exist by the confes
ions already made. The character of this
organisation and of Its leadership is indi
cated by the fact that those wno confessed
' were not sure as to the speclflo bills for
which they received bribes.- The lnvestlgs
, tloo therefore must go back of these men to
the men who trafficked In legislation and
knew the particular measures for which
the bribes were furnished and the sources
. . from which the bribe money was derived.
Trarln the Gnllty.
"The taint of guilt should be traced from
the members who received the bribes to the
persons or corporations who gave them.
The whole nefarious plot should be exposed
and all connected with it prosecuted and all
who are innocent relieved of the burden of
unjust suspicion. The crime ot bribery
is one of the most insidious and dangerous
of crimes against the state. It makes
farce of party contests and elections. Our
general assembly should not become
Dlace where political highwaymen exact
tribute from defenseless cttisens or a mar
ket place where laws are huckstered to
venal bidders.
"Every cltlsen who has any knowledge of
the commission ot crimes In our general
assembly should furnish It to the authori
ties who are engaged In their Investigation
and prosecution."

All Ken Are Ordered to Unit on

SPRINGFIELD, I1L. June, a-Drastlo
methods have been taken by the Illinois
Mine Workers in an effort to force set
tlement rlth operators. Letters were sent
out from the state offices in Springfield
today, to all unions where operators have
failed to slgo the scale. ,
The letter calls for immediate notification
of the operators that all engineers, fire
men, pumpmen, mule feeders will leave
their work, within twelve hours after the
receipt of the notification unless the wage
scale is signed. This would mean heavy
losses to the operators, who claim mines
would be flooded and mules starved.
The letter contends the operators have
been given eleven days In which to sign
the scale after Joint negotatlons were
broken off at the Peoria meeting. The
eleven days Is considered sufficient time
by the miners for the operators to reach
an agreement, and failure to sign is taken
as an Indication they intend to fight

RAILROAD BILL IN FAVOR
Measure Apparently Meets Approval
of Democrats.
CONFERENCE SCHEDULED TODAY
Amendsaent Covering- Telegraph
Telephone Section Is Passed
Crawford Commodity
- Clanse Defeated.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-But for the
fact that Senator Overman of North Car
olina, , sucoeeded in having the senate in
corporate in the railroad bill a provision
regulating injunction proceedings affecting
state laws, the senate probably would have
voted on the railroad bill yesterday.
The acceptance of that provision had the
effect of inclining some democratic sena
tors more favorably to the bill and of
causing the democratio side of the cham
ber to request an opportunity for consul
tation before reaching the voting stage on
final passage. Accordingly the vote was
postponed to permit a demooratlo confer
ence, which will be held at 11 o'clock
tomorrow.
After this agreement was reached Sen
ator Elklns and Senator Hale made an
effort to get the senate to agree to vote
on the bill before adjournment tomorrow,
but without success. Senators Bacon and
: Bailey made ..objection to a proposition
cutting off debate In advance ot the final
vote, and when It appeared as if they
mtght be conciliated. Senator Clapp en
tered objection to any arrangement what
ever. The Minnesota senator stated that
he preferred to have Consideration ot the
bill proceeding the natural way and the
vote taken when all amendments had been
presented and debate concluded.
Elklns Wants Sabatltnte,
The bill was before the senate the entire
day, but the proceedings were In the line
of action rather than that of discussion.
a targe numoer ot amendments were
presented and disposed of. Just before
adjournment tor the day Senator Elklns
gave notice that at the proper time he
would ask the senate to substitute the
senate bill for the house bill.
lie succeeded in having adopted an
amendment postponing for sixty days after
Its passage the time when the proposed; law
shall go Into effect The only objection ex-
preesed to the amendment was that its op
eration would not be limited to railroads,
but there was a considerable vote against
it the ballot resulting 83 ayes to 28 nays.
The provision heretofore adopted, placing
Interstate telegraph and telephone lines un
der the control of the Interstate Commerce
commission, was enlarged, In compliance
with a suggestion by Senator La Follette,
who presented the original amendment As
It now stands it provides that telegraph and
telephone charges shall be just and reason
able and authorizes the commission to de
termlne when they are not so. Special night
rates and special rates on press dispatches
are authorised. Telegraph passes are pro
hibited to all persons. The penalty for dis
obeying this provision Is fixed at from $100
to 12.000.
Senator Hughes of. Colorado was among
those who had an amendment accepted
This provision gives the shipper the right
to choose a line competing with a part of
the through route by which his shipments
was billed. It exempts the original carrier
from all responsibility for damage sustained
on other than Us own lines.
Mr. Simmons sought, though Ineffectu
ally, to have his physical valuation provis
ion inserted. It was voted down, 30 to 32.
Senator La Follette succeeded with two or
three amendments, but failed In an effort
to obtain for shippers the right to bring
suit in the proposed -court of commerce
when there is a prospect that Irreparable
damage may be done by increased rates,
pending the delay necessary to an lnvestl
gatlon try the Interstate Commerce commls

Governor Tells
Teachers About
State's Wealth
Recently, for First Time, Treasures
Had Hundred Thousand and No
Place to Invest It.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 3. (Special.) Governor
Shallenberger addressed the State Teach
ers' Institute this morning, giving his en
dorsement to any movement which tends to
the education of the people and to the up
building of Nebraska schools. The governor
paid many compliments to the great work
of the educators and repeated that when
It comes to cutting down appropriations,
the last Item to receive the knife will be
the school appropriations. The governor
said he had been Informed that Nebraska
spends some 118,000,000 every blennlum on
its schools and it was his opinion that
every dollar of the money spent in this
work is money well spent He believed
also that the state could afford to spend
that sum for he had received from the
treasurer of the state some time ago a
notice that he had on hand 3100,600 and no
place to Invest This was the first time
any state treasurer of Nebraska had ever
served such a notice, which Is required by
law when the general fund reaches that
amount with no place to put the money.
The law requires, that the governor shall
be notified of this condition after which he
and the treasurer and auditor shall Invest
the money in government bonds at 4 per
cent The law is an old one, but there has
never been occasion to use It until re
cently, because of a lack of funds.
Treasurer Brian found a place for the
money, however, so it was not necessary
to bold the meeting.

ROADS FILE HIGHER TARIFFS
Lines in East and Middle West
Undaunted by Injunction.
WESTERN MANAGERS IN SESSION
Traffic Directors In Chicago Consid
ering Problems of Cur lows
Commission Points Oat
Injunction Weakness.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-Undaunted by
the government's proceedings under the
Sherman anti-trust act, by which a part
of the "proposed increase of freight rates
in the territory west of the Mississippi
river was suspended by Injunction, rail
roads in the east and In the middle west
have filed with the Interstate Commerce
commission tariffs embodying Increased
rate.
Attorney General Wlckersham declines to
Indicate what course he will pursue In be
half of the government, and the senate,
just on the verge today of passing the ad
ministration bill, hesitated, and finally
postponed action until tomorrow.
Tonight practically every railroad sys
tem from the Atlantic to the Pacific has
filed with the Interstate Commerce com
mission the legal notification of proposed
Increases In commodity rates. The In
creases range from three to thirty-one per
cent
The day started off by the filing ot
schedules of Increases by the New York
Central, the West Shore and the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western. Then
the official proposal of the roads travers
ing the territory from Chicago and Mil
waukee to Indianapolis and Ohio river
points, twenty-three in all, was brought in
to the commission. During the afternoon
increased tariffs from the Atlantic sea
board to Chicago, St. Paul and Interme
diate points were fixed.
Tariffs Kut Hevlsed.
"The Baltimore and Ohio filed with the
commission a revised tariff on commodi
ties rate from Chicago to the eastern
seaboard. Like the rest, schedules filed
by the roads west of the Mississippi In
creased tariffs from the central freight
association territory were filed in concert.
On the other hand, the eastern railroads
filed their revised tariffs individually.
The Increases proposed by the roads In
the east and middle west range from 6 to
31 per cent. Those from the seaboard to
the west vary from S to 30 per sent. The
Baltimore and Ohio Increase on rates from
Chicago to the seaboard averages about 10
per cent.
The time set for the increase to go Into
effect on the eastern roads was generally
July 6. Of the roads In the middle west.
July 1 was the date fixed. Before the
revised tariffs began to pour into the
offices of the commission. Attorney Gen
eral Wlckersham was receiving telegrams
from western shippers, asking him to
take action to have the Injunction Issued
by the federal court in Missouri extended
to other commodities, especially wood.
Replies were made that It Is now too
late. It was explained that the govern
ment Included in the bill such rates as had
been called to Its attention and that the
failure of other rates to be included must
be laid at the door of the shippers.
Coarse of Action.
As to the course of the government In
regard to the railroads In the east and mid
dle west, the attorney general was not
ready to talk. Immediate action Is not
necessary, Inasmuch as the rates are not
to go Into effect for about a month.
Mr. Wlckersham said that no-eomplalnts
bad as yet been received by him from ship
pers In the east or middle west. Further
more, be pointed out that conditions under
which the roads in the east and middle
west had filed their rates might be entirely
different from those governing the action
of the Western Traffic association. There
was a feeling among officials of the com
