HOWELL ASKS PROBE
OF RAILROAD MERGER
Wants Facts on Nickel Plate Pro

Late."
"Washington, Feb.lS. rSenate in
vestigation of the Nickel Plate rail
road merger being negotiated by the
an Sweringen interests was sought
today in a resolution offered by Sen
ator Howell, republican. Nebraska.
The commission's approval of the
Nickel Plate m?rger as such has not

Sweringen interests, although it has
laid before that agency indirectly
an explanation of its proposal.

"leave no doubt" that it is "unwill

the committee make a thorough in
vestigation "in order that congress
may take whatever action stems nee
essary."
"I want the facts before it is too
late to act," he asserted. "Under
terms of the transportation act of
1920, and in accordance with the pol
icy which has been strongly sup
ported by President Coolidge, as it
was by President Harding, the rail
roads of the country are now em
barking upon a series of huge con
solidations and mergers without pre
cedent in the nation's history.
"We are not only establishing :
new policy, in direct opposition to
the traditional policy proclaimed in
the Sherman anti-trust law, of per
mitting consolidation of competing
lines, but we are authorizing this
policy of government sanctioned con
solidations to be applied to all the
railroad mileage of the country with
out any knowledge of what is in
volved."

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
IS A LONELY FIGURE
OF OUR HISTORY
Greatest of Presidents, He Suffered
Much in Sacrifices for His Na
tion During Lifetime.
From Thursday s Dally
One hundred and sixteen years ago
today in a lonely log cabin near (
Hodgenville, Larue county, Kentucky
was born a. child who was destined
to become one of the world's great-
est figures ana aitnougn given umj
the rudest of educations was to raise
and become one of the great of all
the ages in the world history.
The story of Lincoln seems to point
to a divine guidance mat naa
brought him into being, as he ac
complished the seemingly impossible
in growing from his unrortunaie
childhood surroundings to the seats
of the mighty. The birth of Lincoln
was in the rudest of pioneer Homes,
where was lacking all or tne eora-j
rra t-hut pvpt. tho homes of those
davs afforded, yet despite all of these
handicaps Lincoln was to become
greater than a king the great lead
er of a free republic and to settle the
question of national unity.
The early struggles or Lincoln,
the sorrow that came to him at the
death of his mother, Nancy Hanks,
and the comfort and aid that he re
ceived at the hands of his appreciat
ive and understanding step-mother,
are familiar to the student of his
tory.
From farmer boy to river boatman
and thence to the study of law and
the entrance into the practice of his
profession in Illinois were among the
footstones that were to lead higher
up. His race for senator with Steph
en A. Douglas gave him a national
fame that two years later was to lift
him into the race for presidency and
the success of his pciitical career in
being placed in the highest place in
the nation.
Through all of his steps upward
the great railsplitter never lost the
human touch and was responsive to
the voice cf the humblest as well S
the mighty and his firmness in the
dark days of the great civil war
alone kept the union together, when
leaders of his own party, the radical
element of the north, would have al
lowed the south to set up a separate
nation.
His tragic death, just when a
moment of peace had come to him
was one of the great misfortunes of
the nation and to no section was it
more severe than to the south, as it
removed the sad faced, gentle friend
from the seat of power and allowed
the torch of the reconstruction by
force to be laid at the breast of the
south, ' from which Lincoln had
sprung and for which he had many
tender memories.
Two' great sorrows came into his
private life in his mature years, the
death of his youthful sweetheart,
Ann Rutledge, and later in 1863
in the death of his son. Tad Lincoln,
while the, father was burdened also
with the trials of the great war.
Historians, his associates and con
temporaries had felt the vague some
thing in the life of Lincoln that set
him apart from his fellow man and
in his public life he occupied a lone
ly place, attacked and reviled in his
time by foes and doubting friends,
but carrying on until the end of the
trail and the completion of the task
that had been given him to perform
even though it was bitter as death it
self. Each great struggle of the
civil war left its grief and scars on
the heart of Lincoln, but though the
way was dark and lonely he contin
ued on to the close, delivering from
the darkness of slavery his beloved
nation.
FIRST HAND STORY OF
LINCOLN'S KINDNESS
Phoenix, Nebraska, Man Tells
Another Instance When Abe
Displayed Kindness.
of
Phoenix, Xeb. Feb. 12. While the
nation joined in eulogy of the char-
acterof Abraham Lincoln today .resi
dents of this little town, obscured
in the wastes of Nebraska's sand hills
heard a story of the martyred presi
dent's fortitude and love from Ste
phen Donlin, sixty-four years old,
one of the town's oldest residents.
As the story was passed by Don
lin's mother, Mrs. Donlin came to
1861, ill clad and travel worn, bear
ing in her arms a baby wrapped in
a grimy plaid shawl. Her mission,
which was unnoticed by the con
stant stream of officials near the
executive office, was to secure Lin
coln's clemency for her husband, a
coal miner at Hazelton, Pa., who
with about fifty other miners, was
in jail because he had attended a
forbidden political meeting.
The woman waited days, bo the
story goes, without attracting any
attention. One particular morning,
however, a man stopped at the en
trance of the, executive chamber,
peeked thru 'the shawl at the baby
and inquired its name. The woman
replied and told the "kindly man."
who turned out to be Abraham Lin
coln, how she had walked, carry-
ini. ho Kalit ftrtm T4a7oltnn t n
Washington, a distance of about i
I 00 miles.
I Cancelling all pressing business
for the moment, the story relates,
Lincoln gave the destitute woman
her breakfast, arranged for her
transportation home and ordered the
miners freed.
, "It was that bapy" Donlin said.
The old plaid shawl is the treas
ured possession of Donlin's sister,
Mrs. John McCaffery. of Pittsburgh,
Pa. Both Donlin's- mother and fa
ther are dead.
