Cane Sugar Per 100 POUND SACK MULLEN & SONS Attorney Gen era! Opposes the Grain Exc. Rules Declares Rule About. Weighing Grain Not Only Against Specific Law, But Restrains Trade. A perpetual injunction restraining the Omaha Elevator company and the Trans-Mississippi Grain company and other member companies from enforcing the rules of the Omaha Grain Exchange with- respect to re weighing and a judgment that they cease from entering into any combi nation or conspiracy to restrain trade are asked by Attorney General Spill man, in an answer filed in the Lan caster district court Tuesday in the case brought by those companies, along with the Grain Exchange, to enjoin him from enforcing the Oster- rnan act passed at the last session cf the legislature. In addition the attorney general asks that the two grain companies named be cited for contempt of court. He cites a supreme court decision in which they were adjudged guilty of combining in restraint of trade, and wants them to show cause why they should not be punished for disre garding the order contained therein. Attached to the answer is a copy of the supreme court decree, which the state says, results in the two com panies not having clean hands in court today. The decree was written by Judge Letton in 1906, and was an action which the state brought to dissolve the Nebraska Grain Dealers associa tion, and enjoining all members, the two named being included, in car rying out any rules or orders that would limit or restrain competition in grain, control prices, divide busi ness or profits, pool prices, or fix any standard or figure by which grain prices could be controlled. The attorney general has several defenses. He insists that the plain tiffs have an adequate remedy at law and need not try to restrain him from enforcing the statute; that not only are the rules requiring all grain to be sold on Omaha official weights, with a non member being charged twice as much as for re-wegihing and inspection as a member, and sub jecting to discipline all members whe buy grain on any other weights are in violation of the Osterman law re quiring shippers' weights at points of inspection to be accepted, but that they also contravene the statutes against combinations in restraint of trade, defining trusts and combina tions and prohibiting combination as to prices, as well as the federal grain standards act. The state also contends that the grain exchange is a public market, and as such subject to reasonable regulation; that the law In question is a valid enactment and its enforce ment, a part of his duty, is a matter of public interest and benefit. He says the rules limit the amount of errain shinned to Omaha because it excludes buyers who want to take shipper or destination weights, en ables competing markets to solocit business belonging to it and dis courages shipments by handlers of grain who do not wish to be gov erned by the rules complained of. It is further charged that they re tard and delay shipments, depress nrices. discriminate against the pub lic and certain outside buyers; that ehy result in hardships to shippers of high grade grai nand commission merchants that they tend to develop a monopoly for the benevt of elevator owners at Omaha, and that the plain tiffs have conspired to establish a monopoly with the wicked intent tc injure and put competition out of business. Attention is also called tc the claim that there are members. who wish to obey the law ann are prevented from doing so by the threat of punishment for breaking rules. Tha ctntt. rnntpnils that the en forcement of the rules cost the farm-i ers and shippers many thousanus. oi dollars loss daily, that they are not in effect at any other grain exchange and that Kansas City is now solicit ing business in this state promising to accent shiDDers weights. The at torney eeneral says that he invoke?: the equity powers of the court inde pendently of quo warranto to secure the orders asked. Poincare and his cabinet after a most successful career of a year with out a break, had to undergo the trials of a function in honor of the event. At first the treasury was cripty, the franc near valuless, but now there Is a billion in the treasury with the franc almost restored to par.

Lindbergh, New York-to-Paris aviator, v.-ill fly over Bird City, Kans., at noon today. This was arranged by Holmes A. "Banty" Rogers, a wheat rancher of Bird City, for whom the flier worked between July and October in 1922 as a parachute jumper. According to Rogers, when he purchased the Lincoln Standard air plane at Lincoln in July, 1922, Lind bergh, pleaded that he be taken along as parachute jumper. "I liked the ways of that young fellow," said Rogers, "so I hired him. He was certainly a quiet, bashful kid, and lie kept to himself all the time. "He didn't care much for money, but worked for his room and board and a small salary. He told me his folks wanted him to come home and be a farmer, but he didn't care much for that kind of life. He wanted to be an aviator, but in those days he never mentioned flying over the ocean and becoming famous like he is now. Mentioned in Book "We." "He worked for me until I sold the 'ship' in October." Lindbergh, in hi3 book, "We," mentions Rogers and bis barnstorm ing days as a parachute jumper." Jhe flier recognized his former employer the moment he saw him, and even held up the banquet recep tion committee while the two dis cussed for a few minutes their form er "circus" days. "Say, 'Slim,' I want you to fly over our town when you go west," J requested Rogers. "Let me look at my map first," replied the flier. j After perusing the map, Lindbergh said, "I'll be there and I would like ; to stop, but I can't do it. I know the place, and you can watch for me about noon. I might come down and let the wheels of the airplane touch the ground and go up again." "Will vou. 'Slim'?" j "I sure will." I He Bought the Plane. Rogers, all finiles. thanked the flier and left, making room for the ' banquet reception committee. ! The ship from which Lindbergh j jumped in his parachute, the flier told Rogers, he purchased later, and sold it for $1,300. "I sold that ship to a fellow for one thousand dollars, and I don't know how 'Slim got it later," said Rogers. World-Herald. GAS TAX YIELDS MORE THAN SEVEN MILLION A total of $7,365,909.65 has been colected by the state from the gaso- I line tax since the law went into effect two years and four months ago, according to a check up made J last Saturday by T. W. Bass, head of the gas tax bureau. This figure ' includes all money received up to and including August27. The collections during the month of August amounted to $648,411.31. This amount, however, includes the proceeds for the months of July and j August, because of the change made in the method of collecting the tax which was recently put into effect in accordance with a law passed by the last legislature. The tax is now col lected on importantion of gasoline rather than on sales. MINDEN CLUB TO PRESENT MIKADO Minden, Neb., Aug. 30.
