SOME RELIEF
FOR SHIPPERS
ISPROMISED
TAYLOR RETURNS FROM WASH
INGTON AFTER SESSION WITH
INTERSTATE COMMISSION
Railway Commissione r H. G. Tay
lor who went to Washington for in
formation tnl concessions from the
interstate commerce commission re
t n r ned with half of what he went
after. He returned with a modified
order from the federal body which
will make effective all orders issued
by the Nebraska railway commis
sion between July 2! and .March 10
correcting slate rates.
This is important to many shippers
because without this modification
from the federal body the 3-r per cent
increase ordered enforced in Nebras
ka would apply to the state .rates as
they were before corrected by the
state commission and the raiinrads
now have no authority to change in
trastate rates, and the interstate com
merce commission has shown no dis
position to make corrections.
Fu,!ly fifty corrective orders issued
l.y the state commission, cut of a
total of seventy-five such orders, are
now validated by the interstate com
merce commission. Many of the rail
road tariffs, particularly rates of the'
Union Pacific road, were full of math
ematics and clerical or typographical
errors. When the interstate com
merce commission issued a discrim-
inatory order against the Nebraska t
commission to apply an increase of i
:'.o per cent the order required the
increase to be applied upon rates as
they existed July 29. 1920. After
that date the Nebraska commission
issued orders correcting errors in
state rates. Much injustice would
result from applying the 35 per cent
increase to rates as they existed be
fore the state commission made cor
rections. Commissioner Taylor went to
Washington and conferred with
Chairman Eduar Clark and Commis
sioner W. M. Daniels cf the inter
state commerce commission. It de
veloped that the federal order ap
plying to Nebraska did not contain
the usual clause declaring the 35
per cent increase to become effective
"as of this date." The federal com
missioners therefore modified the or
der on the Nebraska commission so
that corrective orders issued by the
Nebraska commission are validated
and made effective.
It was found that the- application
of the 35 per cent increase cn rates
as they existed July 29 made some
state rates in some states higher than
interstate rates. Teh interstate
commerce commission has issued an
order applying to all states giving
railroads permission to reduce rates
to a level with interstate rates. This
was supposed to have been issued by
the interstate commerce commission
for the purpose of thawing out what
are termed ' frozen" state rates which
state commissions are prohibited from
changing.
Commissioner Taylor reports that a
peculiar device has been adopted ty
the interstate commerce commission
to overcome the inelasticity of its or
dtr prohibiting railroads or state
conynissions linn changing state;
rates. If a shipper desired a redue- j
tion in the rate on sand from Cen-'
tral City to Aurora, he would find'
there is no interstate rate no sand be-
tween those points and it has no
power to establish one if it was will- ,
ing to uo so. ine road must tile an
interstate rate on sand between Cen
tral City and Aurora. It must file
this rate with the interstate com
merce commission: there is no inter
state rate on sand between those
points and the road has no power to
grant the reduction if it desired to,
do so. The road will be permitted
to reduce the state rate to the level'
of the interstate rate. It must first
file an interstate rate with the inter- ,
state commerce commission. Al-'
though there is no such a thing as
an interstate rate between Central!
City and Aurora, which are intra
Mate points, as Commissioner Taylor
views it, an interstate rate mut be
established in such cases before a
reduction could be granted by the.
railroad. In case the road is not'
wiuing to grant a decrease in a rate
the shipper has only one remedy, that
of filing a complaint with the inter
state commerce commission.
Sand producers of Nehraska have a
complaint pending before the inter
state body, and this may be among
the first cases passed upon. Brick
and sand rates are admittedly dis
criminatory in Nehraska. If the
shippers and the roads cannot agree,
the shippers must file a complaint
with the federal commission.
Commissioner Taylor called on Ne
braska representatives in congress at
Washington and visited Senator
Capper, one of the supporters of the
Kenyon bill pending before congress,
a bill to restore the power of states
over state rates.

parently 100 Rears Old
The furniture store of Ghrist
Ghrist in this city has on hand a
very unique timepiece in one oT the
old fashioned clocks that apparently
is at least 100 years old and one of
the most antique that has been seen
in this city in many years.
The clock was secured at the home
of A. M. Arries. and has for a long
time been stored in the attic and
was thought to have been practically
useless so far as being of any real
good as a timepiece. Mr. Ghrist se
cured the assistance of Mr. J. V. D.
Patch. of the Nebraska Masonic
Home, who is an expert clockmaker.
and he overhauled the clock and in
so doing discovered the fact that the
works indicated that the timepiece
was of a type that was at least 100
years old. .the weights being of the
kind used about that long ago.
By careful work the clock was
placed in running order and is now
ticking away as lively as the most
youthful "Big Ben" and keeping ex
cellent time. Mr. Patch states that
in his opinion the clock has been in
use for almost a century, although
it is evidently that old or better, but
has not been kept running continu
ously. YOUTHFUL SPEEDERS ARE
FINED TEN SPOT AND COSTS
From Monday's Dally.
This morning Judge Archer was
called to take up one of the first
speeding cases of the season when
two of t"he young people of the com
munity were charged by Chief of
Police Manspeaker with, having driv
en their cars at a rate of speed great
er than the law recognizes.
The speeding occurred yesterday
when Floyd Becker and Miss Mariel
Streight were engaged in trying to
pass each other in their cars and
which developed considerable speed
from each machine. The court after j
hearing the evidence and the plea of
guilty assessed a fine of $10 and
costs on each of the two parties,
Which totaled $13 apiece. "
HAVE SAD EXPERIENCE
Two residents of our neighboring
city of Louisville, are now good na
turedly standing the chaffing of their
friends over an incident that befell
them yesterday in the metropolis of
the state. The two young men had
decided to go to Omaha arid attend
the'base ball game in that city be
tween the All Nations and the Mur-phy-Did-Its.
and to make train con
nections the two base ball fans walk
ed to Meadow, where they caught
the Rock Island passenger on into
Omaha. Their surprise can be im
agined when they were taken off the
train at Albright by the South Side
police and taken to the station house,
on the charge of being the men who
had robbed the Orpheum theater at
Lincoln on Saturday night. The
boys enjoyed the day as the enforced
guests of Chief Briggs and it was not
until last evening when Sheriff Quin
ton of this county happened to call
at the station in company with the
state officers to look over the sup
posed robbers that it was found out
that they were merely two well mean
ing and harmless gentlemen from
Lcuisville and who had never even
broken into a sardine can. let alone
a safe. As it is they feel mighty
fortunate that Sheriff Quinton hap
pened along when he did and re
vealed them from their embarrassing
situation.

M0LC0LM HALL POLLARD FOR
MANY YEARS WAS NOTABLE
FIGURE IN NEHAWKA
One of the most prominent and
well loved residents of Nehawka. M
II. Pollard, edparted this life on Sun
day, April 17th. as the result of a
serious fall which he sustained on
February 7th, and which had caused
the dislocation o:' his hip and frim
which he had never recovered, gradu-
allv growing weaker until death
?sme to his relief. Mr. Pollard in
addition to this accident had recent
ly undergone an operation that was
quite serious in its nature and which
assisted in producing the clauses that
led to his death.
Malcolm Hall Pollard was born in
Plymouth. Vermont, December 7,
1S45. and amid the scenes of his
birthplace he' received his education
in the common schools of that lo
cality, and made his home there dur
:ng his young manhood. In August
1S64. he enlisted in the Third Ver
mont light artillery, and served for
the remainder of the civil war in
that organization with the army of
the Potomac.
At the close of the war he return
ed to his father's home at Winsor.

perintendent of the Vermont state
prison and also a state senator from
the county in which he resided.
In the year 1SC7, Mr. Pollard came
west to visit relatives in Nebraska,
who had sent back to the old home
slowing stories of the opportunities
that were offered in the great grow
ing west and visited with the rela
tives near where the present thriving
Mty of Nehawka is located and the
impression that this community made
m the young man was such that
while returning to the edd home in
'.he east he held the vision of the
western country close to his heart
and later came there to make his
heme for the future years.
On October 18. 1880, Mr. Pollard
was united in marriage to Miss Ruth
Bates, also a former resident of Ver
mont, and to this union six children
were born. Mrs. Alton St. John of
Nebraska City. Oren M. Pollard. Mor
ris, who died in infancy. Rowena.
Hall A. and Merritt Pollard, all of
Nehawka. Besides the widow, sons
ind daughters, he leaves to mourn
his loss five .grandsons, four brothers
ind three sisters.
The funeral services were held
this afternoon at 1 o'clock from the
familv home in Nehawka.

PREPARING FOR TEN
NIS THIS SUMMER
Local Followers of Game Arranging
to Open Courts on Grounds on
Washington Avenue.
The local tennis sharks are pre
paring to fix up some real courts for
the summer season and have in pros
pect a very fine location, that of the
property of the city on Washington
avenue and which was formerly the
grounds of the brick and terra cotta
company.
This location is within easy walk
ing distaance of the city and is well
suited for the purposes. of making
a number of tennis courts as the
grounds are ample for this purpose.
It will require a little work to get
the grounds in shape for the courts,
but the tennis followers are enthu
siastic over the prospect and expect
to have very little trouble in getting
the grounds fixed up if the city gives
its consent to the use for this pur
pose. -
At the time th grounds was se
cured by the city it was announced
that it was the intention to have it
made into a park and recreation and
playground and its use as a tennis
court is a part of this program that
can be easily carried dut and the
plan put to some very excellent use
by the lovers' of this invegorating
sport.
L.at season the tennis enthusiasm
was not as strong as it bad been in
the past but the prospects this year
are for a renewal of the interest in
the game that will make it one of the
best seasons in the history of the
game in this city. The task of find
ing the location of a suitable court
has been looked after by Ray Larson
and Rev. H. G. McClusky and they
have apparently hit on a real spot for
the new courts.
