NEBRASKA CONTINUES
TO FIGHT ORDERS
Rail Commission Goes Into
Court on Matter of Tele
phone Rates.
r.lncoln, Neb., Oct. A.—The Nebraska
state railway commission carried out
its threat of tenting the light of Post
master General Burle.son to make tele
phone rates by filing in federal court a
petition enjoining the Lincoln Tele
phone Company from putting into ef
fect (he installation or service connec
tion charges recently ordered. The
petition sets up that the act of con
gress which authorized the president to
take over the wire companies of thg
country did not copfer any authority
upon telephone companies or any fed
eral official the right to Initiate rates
The fact that the federal telephone ad
ministration has taken steps to an
nouncing a standard system of ex
change rates also cut some figure In
the commencement of the litigation.
The Lincoln company has placed the
charges Into effoct, aud L now collect
ing them. These range from $5 to $15,
dependent upon the rental' charge for
telephones. The charge the commis
sion had previously fixed for the same
service was $2, which was to be ab
sorbed in the yeurly rental If the phone
was retained for a year.
The petition raises the point that no
such rate as the postmaster general
has put Into efTect can be lawfully col
lected in Nebraska without due author
ization by the commission, and that
after application, hearing and order.
The commission takes the ground that
It has sole charge, under the constitu
tion, of rate making, so far as Nebraska
Is concerned.
At the same time the petition was
filed the director general of railroads
sent a tart letter to the commission,
through C. A. Prouty, his aide in ex
press matters, saying that he proposed
to increuse Intrastate and interstate
rates at once; that in order to retain
a sufficient number of persons in the
express service it is necessury >to add
$10,000,000 more to the revenues, which
means a 10 per cent increase In rates;
that while local conditions may have
some influence he sees no reason why
the same level of rates should aot be
maintained in all of the states ns well
ns in Interstate business, and suggests
that (he commission help rather than
Impede the efforts to prevent a govern
ment deficit In the express department
of railroads.
The commission plans to take the
matter of Its control of express rates
within the state Into the federal courts.
The members say that they are better
fitted to protect the Interests of the pub
lic than officials located at Washing
ton.

ANTI-SUFFRAGE PETITION
IS BADLY CRIPPLED
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 4,—C. W. Rob
inson. a handwriting expert, tore great
holes into the referendum petition thnt
held up the limited suffrage law, now
a subject of attack in court by the
suffragists of the state. It Is being de
fended by the anti-suffrage associa
tion. Robinson took sheet after sheet
of the petition and picked out dozens
of names scattered all through them
which ho declared *to be forgeries. In
some instances he said these names
hrtd been written thereon by the man
who signed as circulator. It Is the
claim of the suffragists' attorney that
all sheets whereon a forged name is
found must be thrown out.
A number of German-Russians who
signed the petition said that they told
the circulator that they were not legal
voters, never having been naturalized,
but he said that made no difference.
Considerable irritation is being shown
by the suffragists, who must pay for
the record that is being made before
the referee taking the testimony, that
the attorney for the anti-suffragists
enters a lengthy objection to every
question asked, no matter what It is,
in order to run up the costs of the
litigation upon them.

BOTTOM FALLS OUT
CASE AGAINST PRIEST
Federal Judge at Norfolk, Neb.,
Rules Out Most of Govern
ment’s Evidence.
Norfolk. Neb.. Sept. 30—The govern
ment rested lute yesterday evening in
its espionage and sedition case against
Rev. Father Windolph, pastor of the
Catholic church at Creighton. Court
adjourned until 9 o’clock Tuesday
morning, when the defense is expected
to put on its first witness.
Werner Hanni, federal secret service
operative, finished his testimony, and
notwithstanding the fact that the gov
ernment was unable to introduce the
alleged disloyal statement made to the
witness by the defendant. Hanni suc
ceeded in slating to the jury that the
defendant told him In English that the
United States government was rotten
and that the German government was
better than ours.
Hanni became the. government's only
witness in the case against the defend
ant when the court sustained a motion
by the defense to strike out all that
part of Hanoi's conversation with the
defendant that was had in the German
language because the indictment did
not state It was held in the German
language, and when the court directed
the elimination of all other counts ex
cept one against Rev. Father Windolph
because the previous evidence was not
substantiated and sufficient to bring
before the jury.
The court also vindicated the moral
character of Sister Hortencia and the
defendant by announcing that Mary
Donahue Green, who admitted she had
written an anonymous letter about the
two, had herself admitted she knew
nothing whatever about the miscon
duct of Sister Hortencia. The defense
claims that they had sufficient evidence
to clear the defendant of all these
charges.
The case has drawn hundreds of peo
ple to the federal building here, partly
because of the sensational charges
which were introduced and partly be
cause of the prominence of the defend
ant. About 96 per cent of the congre
gation of the Catholic church of
Creighton were here and the defense
declared that these persons would tes
tify. The entire seating capacity of
the court room had been taken up by
the witnesses for the defense during the
four days of the trial.
RANK FRAUD SHOWN
tN THE PETITION
Lincoln, Neb,. Sept. 30.—Mrs. H, C.
Sumney and Mrs. James Richardson,
suffragist leaders from Omaha, who
have spent a year investigating the
frauds connected with the gathering
of signatures to the referendum peti
tion that suspended operation of the
limited suffrage law, testified in dis
trict court today to wholesale forgeries
uncovered in connection with the peti
tion.
One circulator, A. O. Barclay, who
cannot now be found, spent most of his
time writing in hie room, according
to his landlady, who supposed he was
a literary gentleman engaged in pro
duction. He certified to having lived
at three different addresses. Apparent
ly he copied names out of a directory,
as many of the signatures appear in
alphabetical order, 18 names beginning
with W appearing on one page of 20
names, and others similarly adorned.
Four thousand names of .the 18,000 on
the petition from Douglas county did
not appear on the registry lists there,
and inspectors sent out from the elec
lion commissioner's office were able to
find but a few hundred of them. Many
had never lived at the address given,
or the address was a vacant lot or a
lumber yard or occupied by railroad
trackage. Hundreds of the names
were written by the same man at one
sitting, ard a number of the circulators
signed their own petitions and then
certified to them. Other irregularities
were also shown. One witness, a cir
culator, said that it was their custom
to gather round a table and witness
each other’s lists, thus certifying that
the names wefc signed in their
presence.
The petition contained 3,837 names
more than are necessary to submit the
petition, under the constitution, and the
suffragists have shown that more than
that number are either forgeries or are
subject to successful legal attack.
