COURT ASKED TO INTER
FERE WITH YOUTH
From Saturday's Jally.
Some boys are meaner than they
ought to be, and such Is the case
with a few in the vicinity of Happy
Hollow. A ten year old boy of Mrs.
Mabey was before Judge Archer on
complaint of the neighbors this morn
ing for throwing stones at Mat Luke
and also for breaking windows out
of Rome of the houses in the vicinity.
Judge Archer views the law govern
ing children under fourteen years of
age In the light he has as giving Jur
isdiction In such eases only to courts
of record. And preferably to the
district court, but in case of the ab
sence of the district judge from the
county, then the county Judge may
act. The law prohibits children of
the age of this boy only to be re
trained at the reformatory, and not
placed in any Jail or prison. The law
is a new one, having been passed two
years ago. And is along the line
of the new method with dealing with
delinquent youth, advocated by Dr.
Wlnshlp at the recent teacher's coun
ty Institute. Judge Archer sent the
complaints to the county attorney to
have the matter brought before the
proper court.

TOTAL RECEIPTS INCREASED,
Excess of National Bank Deposits
Over Reampt on Cause of Increases.
Treasury on Even Keel in General.
Western Bankers Have Situation
Well in Hand for Crop Movement.
Washington, Sept. 3. With an In
crease of $3,273,325 In the public debt
and a total deficit of 17,371,46S.0S, the
United States treasury closed the sec
oud month of the fiscal year, keeping
on an even keel, all circumstances con
sidered, with a working balance o!
$30,820,057.23 on hand and the general
fund down to $83,523,207. 5'J.
The Increuso in the public debt,
which Is a complete turnover of $4,
nilO.ooo In round numbers from the
month of July, Is due largely to an
excess of national bank deposits over
redemptions. The general rule of ex
cess of expenditures over receipts dur
ing July and August Is also a contrib
utor. Total receipts In the month of Au
gust were $:Jt,9fi9.2.'3.54, roughly $3,
000,000 more than for the same month
Inst year. This brings the receipts
for tho year over the $113,000,000
mark and $3,000,000 better than those
of the preceding year.
With a drain of about $2,500,000 a
month for the Panama canal, the or
dlnary disbursements for August to
talled, $58,538,787.74, running a shade
ahead of the same month last year,
$10,000,005 under last month and mak
Ing $126,D50,49tj.90 for the present
year, some $4,000,000 better than the
record tor the same time a year ago
The Panama canal expenditures foi
this year are brought up to $6,973,
365.50. For the month alone the govern
ment was around $4,000,000 behind on
the ordinary receipts. Customs re
ceipts Jumped up $1,000,000 and about
$83,000 came in from the corporation
tax. Internal revenue netted $1,000,
000 less than last month. The govern
ment goes Into the third month of the
year with a grand total of $1,746,676,
814.83 cash in the treasury.
The deposits of bonds and money
which have been made to secure the
Increases are about even. Twelve

organization of a permanent court ol

TOTALS OMITTED FROM TABLE
Railroad Representative Resents In
sinuation That They Were Inten

Scene Occurs Attorney for Live
Stock Shippers Asks Questions.
Chicago, Sept. 3. The tense strain
of the railway rate hearing developed
disorder, in the midst of which Attor
ney E. 13. Pierce of the Rock Island
called Attorney F. B. James, represent
ing Cincinnati shippers, a liar. Mr.
Pierce added that if Mr. James was
not satisfied the matter could be con
tinued "outside."
Comptroller Nay of the Rock Island
was on the witness stand undergoing
cross-examination by Attorney James.
The latter declared that In one of the
tables Introduced by Mr. Nay the total
freight operating expenses had been
left out, while both set. of figures ap
peared in a similar table.
"Why were those figures left out?"
demanded Mr. James.
Witness answered that the omission
was undoubtedly accidental.
Mr. James expressed a contrary
opinion, averring that he suspected
an ulterior motive.
Mr. Pierce at this point Jumped to
his feet and shouted:
"If that Is your opinion you are a
liar."
"That won't do at all, gentlemen,"
Interposed Examiner Brown, with
many raps of his gavel. Above the
din Mr. Pierce continued:
"We will not stand such Insinua
tions. We are here fairly and square
ly, and If the attorney Is not satisfied
I will meet him outside."
At. this there were hisses from the
shippers and handclapplng from the
railroad contingent, during which the
gavel sounded unavailing.

Mr. Thome demanded the formula
by which earnings are arrived at, and
was interrupted by Examiner Crown,
who said:
"The witness ha3 explained that his
statistics were based on a different
method of bookkeeping. Do you think
there Is a 'nigger In the woodpite?'
"I do," was the prompt reply.
"Then go after it," replied the exam
iner. Questions by Live Stock Man.
Attorney Clifford Thome, represent
ing the American National Live Stock
association at the Interstate com
merce commission rate hearing, In
sisted that officers of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railroad com
pany be subpoenaed to testify concern
ing tho capitalization of the company.
The demand came after Comptroller
Nay, under cross-examination, had
said that the stock of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railway com
pany was largely, If not entirely, held
by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific Railroad company.
A heated discussion followed as to
the relevancy of the desired testimony.
Attorney E. D. Pierce of the railway
company Insisted that the capitaliza
tion of the railroad company was not
germane to the hearing. Mr. Pierce
said that the capital stock of the rail
road company was $145,000,000 and
that It was a matter of common knowl
edge that It owned the greater part of
Ihe stock of the railroad company.
Contention of Railroad.
"It does not matter," he said, "what
the railroad company Is capitalized at.
Wo, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific Railway company, are not asking
for Increased rates In connection with
any company except the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railway com
pany, nnd we do not know, nor nre we
concerned with the capitalization of
the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific
Rrllroad company."
The controversy concluded with the
statement that the shippers could sub
poena officers of the railroad company
ind question them concerning the
density of trnr on different sections
of the Rock Island line.

NEBRASKA PIONEER PRIEST
DIES AT BON, KANSAS
The Nebraska City Daily Press of
Friday morning contains the follow
ing account of the death of a well
known Nebraska pioneer priest:
"Word was received In the city yes
terday of the death of Father Em
manuel Hartlg, for fifty years or
more pa3tor of St. Benedict's Catho
lic church in Nebraska City.
"About three years ago, Father
Emmanuel, as he was called, went to
Atchison to enter St. Benedict's mon
astery and his death occurred at that
institution. During the past year or
so cf his pastorate he was quite
feeble and his leaving here wa3 much
against his will.
"He was the first Catholic priest In
Nebraska, according to the records at
hand, and in an early day rode horse
back all over the southern part of
Nebraska attending to his duties. He
had made narrow escapes from se
rious Injury and death by hostile In
dians, but always managed to escape
from them. For forty years he was
pastor of the church on Kearney
hill In this city and officiated at the
births and death9 of hundreds of Ne
braska City people. He was much be
loved by the people who constitu
ted his old parish and they will sin
cerely mourn his death."
Father Hartlg was well known to
many of the old-timers of Platts
mouth, where he has held services
on numerous occasions, and where
he had many friends and was loved
by them all. '
