Jurisdiction for Federal Court. Actions were started by the attorney general In the .supreme court to re stmin the railroads from seeking re lief from the federal courts, and simul taneously the railroads sought in fed eral court an Injunction against tha railroad commission to prevent it from enforcing the law. The latter case was argued some time ago and the at torney general filed a motion to have It remanded to the state court. Thin motion was overruled today, the roll ed States court assuming Jurisdiction and defeating the attempt of the at torney general to keep the proceeding? within the state courts. Roads Ignore Order. The state railway commission som* time ago cited the railroads to show cause why the rates on grain within the state should not be reduced 10 per cent. Instead of making a showing the roads made application for a re straining order to prevent the com mis sion carrying out the proposed reduo ! lion. Arguments In the case began be fore Judges Munger yesterday.

The motion to remand a similar case brought by the five larger express com- ! punles war sustained on the ground that the state is the only plaintiff and therefore the cases can. ot he heard In federal court.

He gave notice to this effect and then employed "spotters." The citizens of Platlsmouth took little notice of the order and went on with their treating. All this took place on Saturday, and on Monday the arrests were made. The list of warrants to be sworn out is nearly seventy. People of all classes are included in the list.

I.incoln, Neb., Sept. 19.—By a new ,arlff on cream shipments promulgated yesterday afternoon the state railroad commission abolishes ail of the special and discriminatory rates heretofore In force and puts into effect a distance tariff, which it is expected wlH end all of the warfare between railroads and c reameries. The new tariff will have the effect of benefiting the small creameries while not materially raising rates for the big centralizing concerns. As com pared with the old distance tariff the new rates are uniformally lower, the short hauls getting practicably all of ttie benefit. The outcome will be a serious dis appointment to the railroads. They filed a request to be allowed to raise rates that for long distances would be almost prohibitive. The traffic man sgers explained that they did so pur posely, with the object of fostering th« growth of small creameries and limit ing the monopolizing tendencies of the bigger concerns. The creamery men protested, claiming that the railroads were simply after more revenue, and that as the small creamery was dead beyond resuscitation, the only effect of the proposed schedule would be to reduce the returns to dairymen and raise the price of butter. The new schedule makes It possible for small creameries to exist, by giving low rates for small distance hauls, does not Injure the big fellows since thd additional cost to them will not be great enough to trouble them, while the railroads will get less gross revenue than before. The big creameries have abt^f fought the railroads to a standstill. They secured evidence that fifty-one railroads and express companies had entered into an agreement to raise rates on September 1. and enjoined them from doing anything of the kind. The showing they made convinced the railroad magnates that they might get into trouble with the Sherman anti trust law and they were ready to cry quits, waiting only for the commis sion to act and show them a way out. WILLMAR AND SIOUX FALLS GUILTY, SAYS R. R.

PRESENTED OFFICER WITH BABY MADE OF SAWDUST Omaha, Neb., Sept. 13.—Out of polite ness, Probation Officer Bernstein con cluded that he would not stop the even ing’s performance of "The Heir to the Hoorah.’’ He concluded to wait until the end of the play and then quietly notify the management of the company that It was In violation of the child labor law to allow a baby to appear In a theatrical performance. After the last act the probation offi cer went back on the stage at the Boyd theater and, without making any fuss simply announced that the company would have to dispense with the baby. It did no good for the management to plead with the officer. Mr. Bernstein was obdurate. A number of the company gathered about hint. ’’But, my dear sir," said one, “no ob jection was raised when we played here last season." "At that time the child labor law was not passed,” said Mr. Bernstein. “But do you understand that we can not possibly produce the play without the baby?” "Yes, I understand that, and I regret that I am obliged to deprive you of that requirement In the action of the play." The manager of the company then held council together. Finally the of ficer was escortefl into the property room and the baby gently snuggled into Mr. Bernstein’s arms. “Take him If you must," said the manager, covertly wiping the tears from his eyes; "take the child away, but for goodness sake! don’t spill the sawdust out of him." There was then more levity In "The Heir to the Hoorah” company than has been known for some time on the stage of the Boyd theater. * LUEITANIaTnZXT RIVAL: LA PRJVENCE New York.
