the committee, asserted the relief for
monopolies furnished through dourt
procedure was slow' and uncertain. I
Up described insistent delays in his
monopoly suits brought against oil
companies iu the Douglas county dis
trict court.
Omaha Testimony Repented.
The attorney general repeated
much of the testimony presented by
him in the injunction suit in Omaha.
He charged that the Standard Oil
company dictated the price of gaso
line all over the country, from its
Indiana headquarters.
"Every time they take a pinch of
snuff in Indiana, every oil dealer In
the country is obliged to sneexe,"
Spillman asserted. Continuing, the at
torney general read a series of su
preme court decisions, which lie in
terpreted to indicate, held tnuny gas
stations to he legal. He also read ex
cerpts from senate investigations, in
dlcating existence of a monopoly In
petroleum products.
in the afternoon the senate ad
vanced a bill to third reading, W'jilch
limits physicians' fees in compensa
tion cases to $200, and cuts payments
for permanent injuries from life to
400 weeks.
Argue, Compensation Bill.
T,augh!in of Beatrice sponsored the
bill, asserting sigh changes con
formed to compensation laws in other
states and would cut compensation
Insurance rates of employes, who, he
asserted, would otherwise he com
pelcd to discontinue compensation In
surance, thus forcing employes to re
ly on law suite and courts for relief.
Senator Charles Hoye announced to
day that Senator T. B. Dysart, chair
man of the senate committee on mis
cellaneous schedules, had agreed- to

Mrs. Georgia Rayfield, shot and
wounded by her husband at Eleventh
and Douglas streets Tuesday night,
was in a precarious condition at St.
Joseph haspital last night.
During the day Mrs. Rayfield
lapsed frequently into unconscious
ness. She would awake from these
periods of semi coma, then fall Into
a sleep which hospital authorities
hoped would prove beneficial, but
would drift off again into uncon
sciousness in a short time.
Early last night authorities were
inclined to give up hope for her re
covery.
The bullet had penetrated Mrs. Ray
field's right eye and had traveled up
ward into the skull.
Mrs. Rayfield was shot as she
knelt on, tfie sidewalk bes**« hlng her
husband, Roy Rayfield, Atchison,
Kan., not to shoot her.

was shot and wounded, Floyd Wal

Rayfield after she had secured a di

Divorced Three Months.
Mrs. Rayfield was still conscious
when she was taken to St. Joseph
hospital Tuesday night, and with
great pain she gasped out the story
of the affair to a reporter for The
Omaha Bee. «
"I divorced Roy three months ngo,

couldn’t live with him.
"After I got my divorce 1 came
to Omaha, and went to work in a cafe
out in Dundee. Then I met Mr. Wal

I didn't meet him until after my di

came out to see me. He said he
wanted me, to come hack to him. I
