DELEGATES GO ON RECORD AS
TO THEIR DESIRES.
REQUESTS LEGISUTIVE LAWS
Strong Stand and Declaration for Reg
ulation and Control of Public
Service Corporations.
In the Fanners' National congress ,
held In this city , the following rcso-
lutloiiH were adopted , with little op
position , except In the case of the one
favoring the continuation of the pol
icy of restricting undesirable Immi
gration. Mr. Coles of Ohio made a
vigorous protest to the passage of this
resolution , saying that no Immigrant
Hhould bo kept out of this country
unless he had been proved to have
committed some crime In his native
land. The seven resolutions adopted
follow :
Resolved , That In view of federal
legislation next winter we reaffirm
our previous immigration resolutions
and direct our officials , and particu
larly our legislative agent , to further
their object and purpose In every
way. * ,
Resolved , By the Farmers' National
congress In thirtieth annual conven
tion that we urge upon the congress
of the United States of America the
enactment of legislation along the
lines of the Dolllvor bill , now in the
senate calendar , and the more liberal
treatment of agriculture.
Resolved , That the Farmers' Na
tional congress favors the most care
ful conservation of the forest and min
eral resources yet remaining as o
part of the federal domain in such a
way that they become and remain
valuable to their fullest extent as gen
eral public utilities.
Resolved , That the Farmers' Na
tional congress favors the adoption
of an amendment to the constitution
of the United States which will in ef
fect prohibit the Introduction from
one state Into another any article
whoso manufacture or Bale may bo
prohibited In the state wherein the
article may be sought to be carried.
Resolved , That In view of recent
Judicial developments , which may af
fect the regulation and control of pub
lic service corporations , such us rail
roads and express companies , wheth
er by federal or state control and leg
islation , lliiu congress reaffirms and
re-emphasizes Its former stand and
declaration for an effective and strong
control of all such public service cor
porations , Including , in particular , the
railroad and express companies of the
country ; such control and regulation
to bo under federal authority as re
gards Interstate business and to be
under state authority as regards state
business.
Resolved , That wo demand the en
actment at the earliest opportunity
of federal laws which shall provide
for a complete and scientific valua
tion of all railroad property of Inter
state railroads , and also suitable laws
which will regulate , control and re
strict , as the case may be , the further
Issue of all stocks and bonds by such
Interstate railroads.
Resolved , That we reaffirm our po
sition of opposition to a burdensome
tax upon oleomargarine so made that
the consumer can readily distinguish
It from butter. And In favor of such
legislation as will make the line of
demarcation between the two pro
ducts so clear that it will he impossi
ble fraudulently to sell oleomargarine
as butter.
Suit for $25,000'Damages. .
Emma Myers as the next best
friend of ler son , Robert Carl Myers ,
brought suit In his behalf In the dis
trict court to recover $25,000 dam
ages for alleged Injuries sustained
by her son September 24 , 1909 , against
E. C. Smith , former owner of the
Brownell block , and O. S. Ward ,
agent. It Is alleged that through the
negligence of the defendants the boy ,
who Is 17 years of age , fell through
a hole In a platform at the rear door
of the block , resulting In Injuries to
his right knee and right log , which
has caused him to be deformed for
life.
Favors Compulsory Law.
Frank H. Wood , at the head of the
Independent telephone Interest In Ne
braska , stated timt ho believed pub
lic demand for universal connection
of telephones was so great that ho
believed the demand should be met
and that consequently ho was in fav
or of a law prescribing such connec
tion and the manner In which it shall
be made.
Decision Reversed.
When the Eagles held their con
vention in Omaha a year ago the
Union Pacific applied to the state
railway commission for permission to
allow representatives of city baggage
companies to go out on their trains
and come back In order to check up
baggage and facilitate the handling
of It at the city station. The com
mission looked up the law and decid
ed that there was no provision allow
ing such men to be carried free. An
opinion from the office of the attor
ney general reverses this decision.
STATE FAIR EXPENSE.
Some Suggestions for Reduction
Considered.
Tito state fair managers , says the
Lincoln Journal , have commenced to
plan for another state fair to be hold
September 4 to 8 next year. The
Nebraska state fair and the Minneso
ta stJite fair come the sumo week
each year. Nebraska has had the
llrst week In September for twenty
years and Is well satisfied with the
date. Secretary Mellor does not be
lieve the laws of nature manufacture
a certain kind of weather each week
In the year , but experience has shown
that the first week In September
brings settled weather.
Mr. Mellor says a movement Is to
bo started to settle the difference be
tween two fairs in Kansas and create
a chain of fair dates that will satisfy
patrons of western and southern
fairs. The plan Is to hold the state
fair at DCS Molnes , la. , the same as
in the past , on the last Monday In
August , the Nebraska state fair the
first Monday In September , as at
present , the Topeka fair the second
Monday in September , the Hutchln-
son fair the third Monday In Septcnv
her , the Oklahoma City fair the fourth
Monday In September , the Missouri
state fair the llrst Monday In Octo-
her , the Kansas City live stock show
the second Monday In October and
the Dallas , Tex. , state fair the third
Monday In October.
The fact that the last state fair In
Nebraska took In $81,000 in receipts
and spent $71,000 , including improve
ments has caused some of the fair
officers to propose retrenchment In
expenditures. Some have suggested
a reduction of officers' salaries. .Sec
retary Mellor , who receives $2,1)00 a
year , la ono who has made the sug
gestion. Ho has already received
two offers this fall to take charge ot
fairs in other states at a great In
crease In salary. President Hender-
shot is one who opposes an attempt
to reduce expenses. He and others
believe the expenses are low enough ,
considering the services performed
and that it is difficult to get along
with less employes. President Hen-
dershot Is in favor of bending every
energy to an Increase of the receipts ,
rather than a decrease In expendi
ture. He thinks a curtailment of ex
penses might Indicate a backward
step. He believes In moving forward.
He suggests that when the fair is
equipped with a good grand stand the
receipts will Increase. The Minneso
ta fair received $60,000 alone from
ctnml ronnlntc
One source of constant expense
that Is regretted Is the repairs on the
old buildings on the fair grounds.
This costs nearly $7,000 every year.
Secretary Mellor says the grand
stand receipts in Nebraska are in
creasing and that they now pay all
expenses of the racing program and
track entertainments , not counting
the many admission fees added to
the outside gate receipts by reason
of the fact that there Is a race course
and grand stand within the outer
gates.
"One reason the expenses ' were
larger this year , " said Secretary Mel
lor , "Is the fact that we had a big
fair. I mean a full line of exhibits In
every department Nearly every pre
mium In every department was com
peted for , so wo had no premium
money left on our hands because of a
lack of contests.
Motion Overruled.
The supreme court has overruled a
motion to quash the information for
removal of Chief of Police Donahue
of Omaha and a referee will probably
be appointed to take testimony.
German in Public Schools.
Die Doutcher Famlllen Vereln , a
very strong German Lincoln society ,
has passed resolutions which will betaken
taken up with the local board of edu
cation , asking that German be taught
In the public schools. Some of the
schools have a German attendance
of nearly 90 per cent ,
Bert Taylor Must Hang.
Bert M. Taylor , the Mlnden mur
derer , must hahg at the state peniten
tiary on the afternoon of October 28 ,
unless Governor Shallenborger Inter
poses clemency. The supreme court
overruled his motion for a rehearing.
Nothing except executive clemency
can save the prisoner from * the gal
lows. It Is said Governor Shallen-
berger will refuse to Interfere with
the death sentence unless some good
cause can bo shown.
Two Years Incarceration.
James Porter was sentenced to two
years In the federal penitentiary by
Federal Judge T. C. Munger , after
being convicted of st 'Ing stamps
from the postofflco at College View
No Change at Present.
When State Auditor Barton decid
ed that new insurance companies
might use 15 per cent , of their cap
ital stock for promotion , some
thought bo was too hard upon promot
ers. The recent national meeting of
Insurance commissioners decided that
5 per cent , was enough for promotion
or for the sale of stock.
County Option Banquet.
The County Leagues of Nebraska
will hold a county option conference
and banquet at the Llndcll hotel Fri

Prospect of Other Lines of Industry

Situation In Country Ad
mitted to be Grave.
Paris. The strike of the railroad
men , which threatens to spread over
entire France Is denounced by Pre
mier Brland as an "Insurrection pure
ly , built upon criminal foundations. "
The premier declared that the strike
was called while negotiations were go
ing on through himself and the minis
ter of public works for an adjustment
of grievances , and promised that the
Instigators of the strike would be
criminally prosecuted.
The river Seine , which In January
threatened to destroy Paris , now
looms up in the role of savior. The
government has now made arrange
ments to rush food supplies to Paris
from the sea , requisitioning all boats
to meet the crisis and cacc the. food
market , which is already hard hit.
The employes of the Paris & Eastern
and Lyons & Mediterranean railroads
have not yet to any appreciable ex
tent responded to the leaders' call to
strike and the government's weapon
of mobilization has Induced some oi
those employed on the Northern road
to return to their posts. Neverthe
less the Northern and "Western rail
roads are prostrated.
The call to the colors has been
Ignored by the large majority , and at
a mass meeting the strikers reiterated
their determination to respond to the
call.
call.Much
Much destruction has been wrought
on the western system , where the
strikers and their supporters have
held up and derailed trains , blockaded
tracks , ripped up rails , and cut tele
phone and telegraph wires. The
government has ordered the arrest of
a score of strike leaders , and Instruc
tions have been issued to the troops
to use severe measures whenever o&
caslon requires.
Spain Looks for Trouble.
Madrid. The government expects
that its elaborate military precaution
will check the possible rioting In Cata
lonia on the anniversary of the deatli
of Francisco Ferrer. It Is prepared ,
however , for an emergency. The in
ternational congress of free-thinkers
opens In Barcelona , and the proposed
demonstrations in honor of Ferrer
have attracted many anarchists who
are being closely shadowed by the
police.
