Telephone 297 Nelson Jean & Go, -FEE ROSS DEFENDS WATER FILING Testifies at Hearing Before State Board cf Irrigation. CHARGES OF BID FAITH MADE KounUe Brothers Declare Ross Agreed to Do More Than Able Latter's At torney Insists Full Payment Was Not to Be Made. Lincoln, March 28. Charles Ross was on tho stand iu his own behalf In the lM-aring of the protest niado by Kountzc brothers ugainst his water power filing on the Platte and Klkhorn rivets. The whole tendency of his testimony was to show good faith on his part in making the filing, following It up with work to protect 's rights and efforts to finance the pt'ct, and also to show bad faith on the pint of representatives of Kountze bi others iu milking their filing through William (;oad and also in the negotiations to buy the rights of Itoss and his asso ciates. The cros) examination of ltoss by I. N. Congdon, attorney for Kountze brothei'3, was directed to nn attempt to show Unit not enough work hud been done, cn the project to keep it nlive, and also that In the negotiations for the side ol" the rights of himself nnd associates he had contracted to do liver a percentage of the stock of bis company, which he could not deliver when the time came to make good on the option contract. Ross' Efforts as Promoter. On direct examination Hoss detailed how, when he made his filing, he gave Rome stock tn his company to Craig nnd the heirs of Andrew Uosewater to clear any cloud which their previous filings might have cast on his rights und also the details of his plan. He testified that in April, 1911, he went to F. H. Davis of the First National bnnu and gave him figures showing tho plant was capable of earning $4uO,0()0 net per year and on that basis was capitalized at $4,000,000. of which Davis was to receive 40 per cent for floating: the company. The dealings with the Farwell Trust company of Chicago and others were detailed and then the entrance of Kountze brothers through the medium of I.ozler. The details of the negotiations with I.ozler were recited substantially as by Lozler himself, the principal point of difference being that Congdon sought to show bv the witness that he was not able to deliver the 85 per ceut of tho stock In his company as provided In the option contract signed by Ross and Lozler. Ross maintained thnt he could, while the Kountze Interests In sisted he could not and that was the renson the money was not paid on the option. Ross also testified that he had assurances he could finance his proj ect If the title to his water rights wer oluclally cleared. Ross tentlfled he and his associates had expended $3,500 so far on the proj ect, of which $7,500 had been paid In cash and the remainder In stock of the company. Doherty Company Backers? It came out who the real parties In the controversy are and why the deal to sell the Ross company to Kountze brothers failed. J. H. McEathron was testifying and had aaid that he owned 25 per cent of the Robs company. Later he said that he was now in tho employ of H. L. Doherty & Co. of New York, who are behind the Babcock proposition to take water from the Loup, and who own the Lincoln Gas and Electric Light plants. This ex plains why Ross was unable to deliver the stock as proposed to Kountze brothers, as McEathron, In response to a question, said that he had said he would not sell his stock, as he would consider It disloyal to his present em ploye, whom, he said, were the Doh erty company.

WAGE BILL BECOMES LAW British Cabinet Hopes Strikers W.II Return to Work. MINERS TO VOTE ON MEASURE Officers of Federation Put Question Up to Men British Coal Mine Own ers Decide to Accept Minimum Wage Bill Troops in Readiness. Ivondon, March 28. The govern- eient's minimum wage bill, whose ob ject Is to put a stop to the disastrous coal miners strike, became the law of the land today. The end of the strika and of the distress and suffering It is causing to 1,000,000 miners and 2,000,- 000 other workers and their families' and dependents throughout the coun try is now believed to be In sight. The Rritish coal owners after a pro longed meeting resolved to accept the minimum wage bill. This means that all the mines will be opened to the men as soon as they desire to return to work. At a full meeting of the Miners' Fed eration It was decided to take an Im mediate ballot among tho men as to whether they desire to accept the gov ernment's wnge bill and return to. work. The cabinet hopes the miners wilt seize the excuse afforded by tho en actment of the minimum wage bill for returning to work. J3veu if this hopo ohotild be realized, It will be necessary to take measures to relieve the great distress, and it is understood the gov ernment already has decided on nn ef fective method of currying this out The protection of the miners who re name work nlHo must be provided foe nnd Itls thought this would necessitate the calling out of the nrmy reserves. WHI Create Wage Board. It Is also likely the government will establish n national wage board, with an Independent chairman, to consider and determine on proposals for the Introduction of the minimum dally rates of $1.25 for men and 50 cents for boys, on tho understanding that with these two points settled all the miners will return to work while nego tiations are proceeding for fixing min imum rates for other grades of wori men.' Already troops are In a state of pre paredness In Wales and at any mo ment their reserves may be required to protect the miners at the Brynky nalle colliery, who have been working for several days, and an attempt to Interfere with whom was made. The. miners connected with the collleriei of the surrounding districts began t march in a body toward Rryaklnatlet and they were quickly followed by s force of police rcsorves. Trouble also Is feared In Scotland, where, many men already have re turned to the pits and others are na lous to follow their example.
