SAY NEBRASKA RATE IS LOW
Railroad Freight Men Testify Order
No. 19 Was Confiscatory.
Omaha, Feb. IS. The hearing of
the Nebraska railroad rate case by
Examiner Dowe of the interstate com
merce commission continues to attract
a large number of railroad attorneys
end freight traffic men to the federal
tuilding.
The testimony of S. E. Stohr, gen
eral freight agent of the St. Joseph
and Grand Island, generally was on
the effect that order No. 19 of the Ne
braska state railway committee, ef
fective Sept. G. 1914, would have had
upon the earnings of the Nebraska
roads in the event it had not been
suspended by the commission.
Order No. 19 made a horizontal
cut of about 20 per cent on the rates
on practically all classes of merchan
dise handled by the railroads in Ne
braska. I ne contention or Mr. Stohr was
that the reduction in rates as applied
by the Nebraska commission would
nut fbfi road in a r,ndi in u-JiPro dcv
would have had to do business at less
than cost, almost entirely cutting off
the revenue on freight hauled within
the state.
C. F. IJalch, the Northwestern man
from the Chicago offices of the com
pany, the chief of the rate making de
partment. asserted that the rates were
almost confiscatory- and if allowed tr
stand as promulgated by the commis
sion meant ruin for the roads.

Resignation of Belgian Envoy to Vat
ican Due to Germanic Headway.
Koine, Feb. 18. The resignation of
IJaron d hrp, Ueigian envoy to the

atican, was not given because of the
advanced age of the baron, although!
-his action has been explained in that

reason is known to he that he did not

that he viewed with alarm the growing
hostility to the cause of the allies in
influential circles of the holy see.
