MNCOLN, Ort. 17. (Hpirlal.) After a
rearing toda ytha State Railway commis
sion decided to extend the date when the
Increased switching ratrs to be charged by
tha Bouth Omaha stork yards shall no Into
fffect. Tha order will tnka effect Novem
ber 1 Instead of October 24. I'nder the term
of tha original order the stock yards Is
authorised to Increase Its switching rates.
That portion of the order requiring the
railroad companies to pay or "absorb" this
additional switching rate is being strenu
ously resisted by the railroads. The com
mission was to have heard attorneys for
the railroads today, but the majority of
the roads asked lnave to present further
testimony on the question of absorption of
tho charge. The roads also allocs that
they have never been made defendants In
the case of the proposed Increase In switch
ing charges. Other technical objections
were raised. The power of the commission
to require the railroads to absorb the ad
ditional charges Is questioned.
Rather than permit the Increased rates to
ICO Into effect prior to a settlement of the
question as to who Is to pay the Increase
and to require shippers to pay the added
charge and depend upon railroads to re
imburse shippers. If It Is finally determined
that the railroads must pay the charge,
the commission set aside the entire order
temporarily and will hold a hearing Oc
tober 27 on the question of absorption.

Attorney Ransom for the stock yards ob
jected to extending the date of the enforce
ment of the Increased rates on week. At
torney Ed P. Smith for the Updike Elevator
company made a brief argument In sup
port of the original order, lie said the
grain market of Omaha was started only
after the railroads had oppoxed It by every
means in their power. He said he rail
roads preferred to haul grain through to
Chicago rather than stop It at Omaha. He
contended that the railroads absorbed an
In-switching rate of $2 a car on all grain
shipments originating east of the Missis
sippi river and a charge of to a car on all
grain shipments originating on their lines
west of the Mississippi river. If the roads
could absorb a charge of $2 at Chicago
they could do the same at Omaha. He
aald. some of the roads have built their
own switches to elevators In Omaha and
witch grain for nothing. Wb.'e the roads
cannot build a switch and'th stock yards
does so for them the roads .-tight to be
made to pay the switching charge. Any
other plan would be a discrimination
against certain elevators, and If the switch
ing charge Is not absorbed by railroads
tho grain market of Omaha must go out
of business. He contended also that the S2
a car switching charge, being 100 per cent
more than the charge on live stock, was
a discrimination against grain and could
Cot be upheld In any court in the land.

Aldslch Explains Story.
State Senator C. II. Aldrlch, who Is can
didate for governor on the republican
ticket, gives out today the following expla
nation of a sensational story that has been
publlnhcd In Lincoln and Omaha:
"This sensational Hearst newspaper story
published nine years ao and now repro
duced here, Insofar as it charges ma with
Unprofessional conduct, Is absolutely false.
"1 was not the attorney of record In that
dlvuice cane. I never was admitted to the
practice of law In the state of New York
I went there at the time of the trial as
a witness for Mrs. Campbell to refute the
charge that there had been collusion. But
the case was continued and never tried.
Its merits were never passed upon by the
trial judge nor by the Jury.
"1 was Informed afterwards that the
parties settled the case" among themselves
I had nothing to do with the beginning of
th- case nor the settlement of It. I did
assist In taking some depositions In David
City. I had acted for a good many years
as financial adviser for Mrs. Campbell, who
had large property Interests In Butler
county. Lr. Campbell also had property In
Butler county and was a frequent visitor
there.

railed upon now to refute a chsrae thet Is
contrsrtlcted by Its own admlstons and
coi.tia.llcllons. In divorce cases where there
Is bad feeling and Urge properties to fight
over there are generally charges of manip
ulations of witnesses and these charges,
made by attorneys for effect, are played
up In sensational fashion by a sensational
press.
"I neved paid this woman witness any
money either directly or indirectly for
her testimony, but did pay her something.
I have forgotten the amount now, for Mrs.
Campbell for her time and expense while
she was Wk..ti( to give hor testimony.
'Everybody knows that charges of col
lusion and manipulation of witnesses and
evidence are frequently made in the heat
of contention of a sensational trial. Every
practicing attorney Is an officer of the
court. Had there been anything In these
charges an Investigation would have been
ordered and action taken In the district
court In Hutler county.
"I have practiced law In Nebraska for
nineteen years. My ruputatlon as an at
torney Is well known among lawyers and
courts. Years of right conduct and pro
fessional Integrity ought to protect a man
at least against self-confessed perjured
sttements.
"I have been making my way In Ufa as
a lawyer, business man and as a cltixen.
Whatever there Is In my record that the
public ought to know, let It come out. It's
a time when every man asking public
favor must stand out In the open for what
he Is and for what he has been. I have
nothing o conceal."

"Omaha's Efforts for Its Delinquent
Elements" was the subject of Punday
night's meeting at the Castellar Presby
terian church. Miss Ida Jonts of the Asso
ciated Charities spoke of the work that
branch was doing to aid those down In the
world to help themselves and to support
themselves. Judge Lee Estelle spoke of
the division of the work that came under
the Juvenile court. Probation Officer
Bernstein, who was to have spoken, found
It impossible to attend.
Miss Jonts spoke of the difference in
charity work when she first came to
Omaha and the manner In which lt Is now
conducted, and all the differences between
organised charities and the dangerous
foims of disorganised charities.
"At present there are fifty-two charities
listed together in Omaha," said Miss Jonts.
"Our object la to make employment the
basis of relief, although, of course, emerg
ency relief Is always given even before
an investigation of the conditions of the
persons is made.
"We hope soon to be able to branch out,
especially in two lines. The first is to find
work for the handicapped and crippled and
the second Is to have a means of teaching
one class of Omaha women who do not
know how to keep house the proper man
agement of one. I know of an Instance of
one woman who to give her family a treat
bought a dollar's worth of pork chops and
a pie.
No Wonder Hoebaada Desert.
"There's too much pork chops and pie In
Omaha ai.d it's no wonder that iota of
husbands desert their families when one
knows of the filthy conditions of many
homes,"
"In juvenile oourt work Omaha has found
after some experience that lt Is easier to
form character than to reform It later,"
said Judge Estelle in his tarn. "In dealing
with the bringing up of the children of
this city or of any city my plea to the
parents and especially the mothers is to
keep your children off the streets. Rear
them at home and be sure that you know
whore they are every night of their lives
and you will be saved and the child will
be saved much misery.
Motbers to Save Coantry.
"It Is the mothers of this country who
are the ones to save it, and I am glad that
the salvation of Omaha la In the bands of
the moUiers. Warn your daughters before
It Is too late, and protect them. I have a
daughter of my own and you may be sure
that she is going to be at home every night
until she Is of maturity."
Speaking further the Judge placed much
of the credit of the work of the court on
the heads of the Omaha ministers and
people of the city who had aided in the
work. Before he ended his Ulk be ex
pressed himself as strongly against capital
punishment.

your purpose of getting the fun with the maximum of strength, safety, ease and

Winchester is the only one that has successfully stood every conceivable test
that sportsmcji could put it to, and also the rigid technical trials of the U S
Ordnance Board, embracing strength, accuracy, penetration, endurance, excessive
loads, defective shells, rust and dust. Its popularity with sportsmen and its official
endorsement by Government Experts are convincing proof of its reliability and
wearing and shooting qualities. Winchester repeating shotguns are made
in four grades, listing at from $27.00 to $100.00, and are sold everywhere.
