Final Tributes
Paid Slain Jud*e
Young ami Old Pass by Bier
of William Morning, Shot
to Death in Court.
By Associated Frege.
Lincoln, Feb. 10.—After the body of
William M. Morning, district judge
who was shot and killed Monday, had
tain In state for three hours this af
ternoon in a large church here, Im
pressive funeral ceremonies were car
ried out and the body was taken to
Wyuka cemetery.
Just at 12, an aged flower seller
took his place'outside the door of the
church. For half an hour before that,
flowpr store delivery men had formed
an almost constant line in and out of
the church. Great and small boxes of
flowers—tributes to Judge Morning—
were brought In and the blossoms
plnoed in a great bank about the cas
ket.
The flower seller’s carnations lent
practically the only color to the scene
around the church, as hundreds of
citizens of Lincoln and of the state
passed quietly into the large audi
torium, rmst the bier and out into the
street again.
It was a varied line. Here was an
urchin, who Judge Morning had
helped through his juvenile court
work, lagging at the heals of a grate
ful parent or guardian.
Voung married couples—and a few
older ones—whose matrimonial ships
had been salvaged from the rocks by
1 h“ domestic relations judge, stopped
i moment before the casket,
e line Increased in length until 3.
when the church was given over to
the burial services for the slain
judge.
Tn a. small Lincoln undertaking es
tablishment the body of Wallace Wal
lick laid. Walllck shot himself after
killing Judge Morning.
‘‘No one has made arrangements for
his burial," the undertaker said.

“I’ll Take

THE thought that goes with the
cup of coffee at the evening meal
is a disturbing one. “It may keep me
awake tonight!”
✓
The something [caffeine] in coffee
that keeps so many folks awake nights,
is entirely absent in Postum—the de
licious, pure cereal beverage. The dif
ference means a full night’s rest and

The Transportation Act Does Not Guarantee the Railroads Any Return
''p HE INTERSTATE Commerce
Commission in 1921 (64 I. C. C.
Rep., 95) and again in 1922 (68 I. C.
C. Rep., 681) said:
"Determination of the percentage
implies or carries with it no guar
anty. Head in connection with
the provision for recapture of one
half of the excess above six per
cent it is instead, a limitation."
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, in his
message to Congress on December
6th,said:
“It has been erroneously assumed
that the Act undertakes to guar
antee railway earnings."
THE railroads admit that failure
to earn a fair return is their loss
and that the United States is in no
sense liable to reimburse them
therefor.
''PHE Interstate Commerce Com
A mission shows that the net return
of Class 1 railroads on the value of
their property used in transporta
tion service was as follows:
For the 12 months ended
August 31, 1921_2.88%
August 31, 1922_4.19%
August 31, 1923_4.90%
rP HE Commission has decided that
A a fair return is 5% %.
''PHE difference between the fore
A going returns and a fair return is
the loss of the railroads.
