More trouble for the Farmers and Mer
chants' fnsureno company earns yasterday
when the Western and Southern Fire Insur
ance company of Oklahoma withdrew Its
offer to felnsura. Th Uncoln company
will continue on Its way to the hands of a
receiver to be appointed by Judgo Stewart
Monday. The reason (riven for the with
drawal by the Southern company Is the In
vestigation by the attorney general of Ne
braska Into tha Southern company's affairs.
The head of tha Oklahoma concern became
offended at this procedur and the offer
wan withdrawn. W. 11. Comstock was men
tioned as a likely man for the position of
receiver.
West Maroln Metropolitan.
West Uncoln had quite a metropolitan
lime with Its criminals Saturday night. Tha
policeman made two arrests, and, aided by

the culprits Into a wheelbarrow and

the Jail.
Leaks in Lid in ,
Merrick County
Several Men Fined and Otheri Bound
Over to Court on Charges of
Bootlegging.
("KNTRAL CITY, Neb., Jan. 29.-Speclal.)
Merrick county has no saloons' within Its
borders, but the bootleggers have been un
usually busy. If the prosecutions that have
been started by County Attorney W. II. C.
nice during the past few days are any
criterion. Among the first was Charles
Clark, who was brought up from Clarks
on a bootlegging charge. He waived pre
liminary examination In the county court,
and the district court being In aesslon he
was taken before Judge Thomas and
pleaded guilty, and this being his first of
fence before tha district court ha was given
a fine of $lx and costs. Being unable to
pay, he Is boarding out the fine In the
county Jail.
Hobert Saddler, a colored gentleman, was
supposed to have been an accessory of
Clark, and he became engaged In an alter
cation with the town marshal down there
and flourished a loaded revolver and other-,
wise resisted the marshal while under the
Influence of liquor. For Ms strenuoslty he
drew a comfortable fine and Is also board
ing It out at the county Jail.
Irvln and Grover Maurer, two liverymen
from Silver Creek, have also been arrested
on a charge of the Illegal sale of liquor.
They were bound over to the district court
last week on one charge and this week
other charges were filed against them and
they have again waived preliminary exam
ination and are under bonds to appear for
trial at the next term of the district court,
which convenes In Central City Monday.
There Is already a case on the docket
against John Marquis for th alleged Illegal
ale of liquor, so that with the addition
which havs been mad during the past few
days six coses of that nature will adorn
y docket.

TALK OF WAR WITH JAPAN
(Continued from First Page-)
would have to be practically annihilated to
permit of such an event."
Vletra of American Officer.
An American naval officer, to whom the
plan was outlined, aald: "I am confident
that that Is Japan's plan."
In answer to the query "What would
you do In such a case?" he answered: "W
would com right over here and meet
them."
x Another authority says: "The probability
of war1 between Japan and the United
States is most remote. Japan doe not
want a war with the I'nlted States. It
will do almost anything within reason to
avoid It. Its attitude in relation to the
immigration question and Its vigorous self
imposed restriction on emigrants from
Japan to the United State are convincing
evidences of this. There is no reaHon ex
isting between the two countries today
over which one would be warranted in the
prediction of even the possibility of a war.
"China, however, In in a state of evolu
tion, bordering at times close on to revolu
tion. Japan' and Russia's Interests are
not China's Interest, and it would not be
a difficult matter to precipitate events
with tragic consequence should It prove
to their mutual advantage to do so. The
burden of an Immense army which Japan
is bearing I explained by tha Japanese
that it is for use tn China.
"Should trouble break out In China,
Japan la going to take the lead, as It
clalma a Its right in the far east, and It
will be on th spot first, properly and
effective.
"Peking Is the diplomatic cockpit of th
nation today, and whtl everyone hopes
to e a sovereign China maintained, very
much depends on America."

Railroads to Make
the Eleventh Street
Viaduct Some Larger
Burlington and Union Pacific Each
Flan Some Additions to
Switching Yards.
The beginning of construction work on
the new Eleventh street viaduct is held up
pending certain data from the Burlington
railway officials, according to City En
gineer Craig.
Recently an ordinance was passed by the
city council directing that the city en
gineer draw pluns and specifications for
the new viaduct.. The railroad companies
were also instructed to get busy. Since
nothing has been heard of the ordinance
and ar.y part of the viaduct has failed to
materialize. But the plana wilt he ready
in about two weeks, says the city engineer.
"I requested data from the I'nlon Pa
cific and Burlington, the two reads Inter
ested directly," said Mr. Craig. "The Vnlon
Pacific has furnished such data, but the
Burlington ha not responded. However. I
expect this Information within a day or
two. Then the office will be enabled to
go right along with the plans.
It Is rumored that both railways plan ex
tensive additions to th switching yards
and for this reason have been slow In
starting anything on th viaduct. If pres- j
ent plans materialise, the viaduct will
be extended south and possibly north,
which means the construction of an en
tirely new viaduct.

IOWA SOLONS MAKE GOOD TIME
Sensational Deadlock Keeps Members
at the Capital.
COMMITTEE WORK IN HAND
I aaal for Tale Perlo4 of the ee-
Inn W III ntaraaa tireaon
Plan.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Jan. Z9 -(Special. )-Th
close of the third week of th Iowa legl- '
lature finds the members apparently no i
nearer to, a solution of the senatorial I
matter than when they commenced. No J
person will make any pretense of predicting
when the end will come.
But In other respect the legislature Is
making an excellent record and the fact
that members are required to remain here
and attend a roll call ' In Joint assembly
every day has made It certain that much
work will be done. In fact a great deal
more of committee work ha now been
done than usual at this time of the session
and members report that they have their
work In hand better now than usual. The
committees are organized on a business
bssls and are doing excellent work. The
committees In charge of buncombe election
bill have shown a disposition to sidetrack
them for- mor Important work and the
larger committees have not hesitated to
start In brlsky to kill off all th fool meas
ures that come along.
Will Discos Oregon Plan.
The coming week will witness some dis
cussion upon the so-called Oregon plan
of electing senators, further discussion as
to the advisability of abolishing the tax
ferrets, consideration of some of the school
and roads measures and probably passage
of amendments to the collateral tax law.
A movement started last week to have a
special service for th anniversary of
President McKlnley's birthday came to
naught because it seems that th legis
lature got Itself mixed up with a quarrel
as between different faction of the ladles
of the Grand Army of th Republic. A
resolution was Introduced to grant the use
of the house for thla purpose, but it has
been held up.
The bill to grant an appropriation of 11.000
a county for agricultural extension and
short course work Is likely to com out for
passage In the house and It will cause
much discussion. The bill has been strongly
urged in the Interest of th college work
which ha become so popular in recent
year.
Will Adopt the Iowa Plan.
Secretary J. C. Simpson of the Iowa
Board of Agriculture whll he wa In
Minnesota last week learned that the Min
nesota state board has already taken steps
looking to the adoption of the Iowa law in
regard to the state management and reg
ulation of the affairs ot th department.
The Iowa plan has been Investigated and
It Is found to be the best in us. The
state regulates tha Iowa board very care
fully, fixes th method of election of the
board and requires a strict accounting of
all funds. This has not been done in
Minnesota and other states. While in Iowa
there has been criticism of the plan In use
here and an effort made to change the
method and to put the board Into politics
other states are Imitating Iowa in order
to get better results.

Cancer hospitals, cancer sanitariums and
all other places maintained for the purpose
of treating cancer patients are prohibited

residence and within 200 feet of any church,
university or school building, in a bill In
troduced In tjie house today by Representa
tive Shankland of Polk county. The bill
does not in any way effect regularly estab
lished general hospitals, but Is destined to
abolish the establishment of cancer hos
pitals In close proximity to public buildings
and residences.

Young Man from New York Suffers
Accident that Will Cripple
Him for Life.
Andrew lloyt. a young man about W
years old, fell between box cars near th
Broadway crossing of the Northwestern
railroad yesterday afternoon and sustained
injuries that required the amputation of
his right leg at the knee.
The accident n not the rrsult of any
carelessness or negligence. When lloyt ap
proached the crossing It wa blocked by
string of car. He started north to walk
around the train, but finding It much
longer than he supposed, was In the act of
climbing over the couplings when the car
started. The sudden lurch caused him to I
fall and an Instant later one ot the wheels j
passed over his leg. The train only moved j
a few feet before It again stopped, and I
men who saw the accident hurried to his
assistance and dragged him from beneath
the wheels before he was further Injured
by the car, which were agatn Immediately
started.
Hoyt's home Is In New Tork and he waa
an entire stranger here. He came to town
everal days ago seeking employment,
and took the flist thing that was offered,
which was a Job of cutting cord wood on
the Beno farm, south of Crescent. He had
to come to town yesterday morning, and
after transacting bis business found that
he had half a day to spare. Rather than
be idle he applied for temporary employ
ment at the Stein wood yard, a block from
the railroad. He got a chance to saw anm
wood and wa hurrying back from his lunch
when he found his way blocked by th
train.
The city ambulance conveyed Hoyt to
Mercy hospital, where It was found neces
sary to amputate his mangled leg. The dis
tress of the unfortunate man when he
realized the fearful nature of his Injuries
aroused the keenest sympathy of all who
knew of the accident. It was subsequently
learned that Hoyt had been drinking and
was endeavoring to separata himself from
two companions who had accompanied him
from the woodchoppers' camp.
I
BOY IN BAD FAMILY MIXUP
Parent Are Both Remarried and Karh
Make Claim for the Poasr
alon of the Thlld.
No drama of the stage ever offered uch
marital complication as did th cass of
6-year-old. flaxen haired, Walter Henry
Hodder, whose large, Innocent eyes looked
confidingly Into those of Judge Kennedy In
Juvenile court Saturdav. In thla case ad
herents of the necessity of divorce might
have been answered with irrefutable logic.
On one side was a weeping mother, draw
ing the child close to her even now, fight
ing to retain her boy. She had divorced
the father of the child In November. 1909,
and had married the man behind her two
months later. On the other hand, was the
father of the tittle lad and the boy's grand
parents on his side. It was he who brought
tha case Into court, charging that the child
wa neglected by Its mother, whom, he as
serted, gave htm whisky and beer and al
lowed him to frequent the saloon where
his stepfather tended bar. The father ad
mitted, after questioning, that he, too, had
remarried before the time allowed by the
court. He said he had found the boy In
rags and had clothed him, and that every
thing he wore at thla time had been
bought by him.
The father produced a letter from his
former wife in which eh aaserted the
child could see him occasionally, but could
never visit his grandparent. She defended
herself on this ground . by saying that
every time th lad went to hi grand
parents he cam home sassy and spoke
disrespectfully to his stepfather.
Judge Kennedy said the boy should not
be deprived of the pleasure of visits to his
grandparents. It wa a' Joy that boys
never forgot. "It Is bad enough to de
prlve th boy of one of his parents. It
would be worse to deprive him of both.'
After discussing the matter thoroughly it
was decided to postpone further hearing in
th case for two weeks until things Could
b fully Investigated.
Tha Key to th Situation Be Want Ads
WATER TERMINALS NEEDED
(Continued from First Pag.)
these circumstance would be serious and
unreasonable.'
"The decision Is a magnificent victory for
the business men of Cincinnati who fought
the proposed viaduct acios th landing
and recognises and confirms their argument
that to put th viaduct across the landing
would defeat the benefits to be gained from
the nine-foot stag of .water In th Ohio
river.
"Opinions of this character which ar
along the line ot public policy will go far
toward bringing about what is so greatly
desired, municipal ownership or control of
terminals, which shall be open to the rich
and th poor, the powerful corporation or
Its weaker competitor."
