!

War Withdrawal of Funds from
Banks , the Subject of Discussion.
I
I Washington , D. C. : After laboring
Friday for almost six hours in an at-
mosphere surcharged with the elec-
tricity generated by sharp conflict of
opinion , thhe senate again failed to
reach a vote on the postal savings
, ( bank bill and once more took a recess
until the following day.
When the recess was taken Senator
. = Carter stated seven or eight senators
I had expressions yet to be delivered
I' .and he did not want to guess how
.many other speeches these might pro-
voke.
„ I , Not during the several weeks that
the postal bill has been before the . . , sen-
.ate has there been a day of debate ap-
jjroaching in any degree the proceed
- ings of Friday. Beginning at 11:30
-o'clock the flow of oratory continued
without interruption until after 5
o'clock , when in utter despair of r.each-
I ingthe end Senator Cartel' moved a
" . recess until 11:45 : a. m. Saturday.
During the day there , were speeches
' by Senators Root , Carter , Cummins ,
I Rayner , Clapp , Borah , Clay , Newlands
' .and a number of others , representing
-almost as many views as there were
-speakers.
I - The Cummins amendment to the
Smoot amendment , limiting to times of
)
. war the exigencies in which the postal
funds may be withdrawn from the
, banks in" which they are deposited , was
the technical subject of discussion dur-
- ing the entire sitting , and during that
.
time there were many rather acrid
-exchanges of views.
I Senator Root dwelt especially upon
. . . . . . . the necessity of protecting the credit
< of the country , and he appealed strong-
ly to the patriotism of senators in that
Interest.
Senator Carter strongly seconded
: this appeal and drew even a more viv
id picture of the possibility of an un-
I expected national need for the funds
than was presented by the New Yorij
.senator.

NEW GRAFT WAR IN PITTSBURG.
Civic League Crusade Expected to
Reach Host of Officials.
Pittsburg , Pa. : That this city is on
the eve of another big councilmanic
graft and gambling expose was admit-
Wednesday by members of the Civ-
ic league. It is expected that over fif
ty informations charging graft and
bribery will be instituted within a . few
days.
The Civic league , at its request , has
received from Chicago a copy of the
resolution creating the Merriam com -
mission and the investigation here will
be modeled after that under way in
Chicago.
The expose , it is stated , will be the
greatest that has , ever occurred in this
country and will include council men ,
city officials , and outsiders , known as
"fixers , " who have been , successful , in
opening gambling clubs.
For several weeks : Detective Robert
Wilson and his assistants have been
quietly at work under the direction of-
Secrteary Allen T. Burns , of the Civic
league securing evidence. Secretary
Burns predicts that over a score of pol-
iticians and men higher up will be sent .
to the penitentiary. The general pian
is to clean up the entire city , which
since a wide open ' town was declared
under Mayor William A. Magee , is said
to be about the worst in the country.
One employe was discovered who
admits that he paid $60 to a man high-
er up for a city job , and he also gave
the names of half a dozen others who
*
had been similarly imposed upon.
MINIMUM TARIFF RATES.
Danger of Trouble with Austria-Hun-

Washington , D. C. : A proclamation
granting to Austria-Hungary the mini-
mum rates 'under the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law has been signed by Secretary :
of State Knox and presented to the
.
president for his signature.
Next to France , Austria-Hungary
presented the most formidable obsta-
cles in the way of tariff adjustment ,
but it has accepted the demands of the
United States , and as a consequence
obtained the minimum rates.
The president Wednesday signed
proclamations declaring that thirty-six
countries and colonies were entitled to
the minimum rates. The list com-
prises the Isle of Man , Channel inland i ,
Gibraltar , Sokotra , Seychelles islands ,
St. Helena , Ascension island , Falkland
islands , British New Guinea , British

VICTORY FOR GRAIN MEN.
Win Their Fight with Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Kansas City , -Mo. : In a decision
handed down here Thursday the Unit ;
ed States circuit court , permanently
enjoined the interstate commerce com
mission from enforcing an order pro
hibiting railroads and other carriers
from allowing compensation { o owners
and operators or elevators for eleva-
tion and transfer of grain in transit.
The decision was given by Judge
Swineburn and was concurred in by
Judges Hook and Adams.
The injunction suit was filed in St.
Louis by the Peavey Elevator com-
pany , which was supported in its peti-
tion by the boards of trade of Kansas
City , Omaha and other cities in the
middle west.
The interstate commerce commis-
sion issued the oraer prohibiting the
owners of elevators from receiving
compensation for the elevation and
transfer of grain in transit on the the-
ory that such action amounted to a
rebate.
The order had , it was alleged , been
most detrimental to the business of
the elevators , the total value of which
is millions of dollars.
The decision says that "the order
of the interstate commerce commis-
sion which prohibits the allowance of
payment by carriers of all compensa
tion to owners and operators of eleva-
tors for the elevation and transfer of
grain in transit is beyond the delegat
ed powers of the commission. "

Fifty or Sixty Corpses Huddied To-
, gether in Cherry Mine.
Peoria , 111. : Fifty or sixty bodies
were found huddled together in the
north entrance of the St. Paul mine
at Cherry , 111. , Thursday by Mine In-
spector Richard Newsam , of this city.

workmen who at 6 o'clock Thursday
night started clearing a passage so
the bodies may be removed. He is con-
fident that there are more bodies in
this section of the mine.

the bodies are in a mummified condi-
tion and there is hardly a chance that
anyone can be identified. He believes
that' ' as soon as the debris and wreck-
age can be removed from the north
and east entrances all the 'bodies can
be easily recovered.

SHAUQEXBERGER REMITS FIXE.
"
Governor , on Appeal from Residents
of Orleans , Helps Harlan Man. :
The $500 fine imposed on John A.
Lather , of Harlan county on a charge
of selling a malt beverage fcas been
remitted by Gov. Shallenberger.
The action of the governor was the
result of an appeal for a pardon sign-
.
ed by eighty residents of Orleans and
the surrounding country , where. Luth-
er operated. _
Luther conducted a restaurant and
sold the _ malt beverage open and above
board and had no th'ought of a viola-
tion of the law. The county attorney
refused to file complaint against him ,
though he agreed to assist the Anti-
Saloon league detective , who secured
the evidenc
The case was taken to the supreme
court and Judge Barnes and Judge
Letton dissented from the decision of
the majority of the court , which af
firmed that conviction. These two
judges said that for 25 years the court
had held that it was necessary for the
plaintiff to prove that the beverage
was intoxicating before a conviction
should be had.
Inasmuch as the man was unable
to pay the fine and under the circum-
stances of his conviction the governor'
decided to remit the fine. The condi-
tion imposed was that the man should
pay the court costs within thirty days.

formance Thursday night when

and modern convenience.
The evening's performance was pre-
luded with brief addresses by Mayor
Dahlman and Arthur Brandeis. The
audience was ? n full dress and the il-
luminations and decorations were

RECORD SEASOX OF BUILDIXG.
Xcvr Hotel at Hastings to Cost $100-
000 Other .
- Buildings.
Building operations in Hastings will
be conducted on an extensive scale
during the present year. A large
amount of structural work is already
planned or under way and there is
prospect of much more being started
in the spring. Probably the amount ,
of money expended there for building
this year will exceed that of any like
period for the last decade.
The new hotel , which will cost be-
tween $100,000 and $125,000 , is prac-
tically a certainty. Over $50,000 has
been raised by/ popular subscription
and it is believed the remainder will
soon be forthcoming. The Blackman
& Fuller wholesale grocery firm has
arranged for the construction of a
large warehouse. Stephen Schultz
will erect a building for the farm im
plement and automobile business and
the Hastings Foundry and Iron Works
'is ' building an establishment which
when equipped , will represent an in-
vestment of . approximately $100,000.
The Masons of Hastings will spend
about $20,000 for reconstructing-
refurnishing the local temple.
The Dominican sisters of the Cath-
olic church will spend about $15,000
to complete the repair and improve-
ment of their academy building. This
structure , built many years ago at a
cost of about $80,000 , was purchased
last year by the citizens of Hastings
for $8,000 and transferred to the sis
ters. The sisters spent $10,000 to
make a little less than half of the
building serviceable , and they are now
planning to reclaim the entire struc-
ture.
ture.The
The Christian church is planning a
new building to cost about $25,000. I
The city is. adding new machinery to
its lighting plant that will cost , in-
stalled , about $25,000 , and an election
will be held next Monday to authorize
intersection pa'ingbonds in the sum
of $50,000. A district has been creat-
ed in which the intersection paving
will cost , approximately , $9,000 , and
others are in process of formation.
THREE CHILDREN DEAD.
Many Schools Are Closed by Scarlet
Fever Epidemic at Iiaerne : ' .
The scarlet fever epidemic in Buffa-
lo county still continues to spread ,
.
and there seems to be no limit as to
where the disease may stop. The
Kearney Military academy has been
under quarantine for some time past.
One case has been reported at the dor-
mitory of the Nebraska state normal
school ; schools all over Buffalo coun-
ty are closed and still the fever
spreads. One family in Elm Creek
lost three children and three more
are near death's door. The father of
this unfortunate family , Joseph Grea-
briel , lies in the Kearney public hos-
pital , with his life hanging by a
thread , suffering from an attack of
pneumonia contracted while attending
the funeral of one of his babies in a
bleak cemetery near Elm Creek. The
disease seems to have flourished more
in the rural districts than in Kearney ,
there being only two or three cases
within the city limits. The case at the
dormitory of the normal is well
guarded and there is little chance of
it spreading among the students.
Footless : \ [ llrd'rcrfa : ' Recover.
Arthur Anderson , the negro who
killed Arthur Xewell , a white orphan
boy two weeks ago at Hastings , is win-
ning out in his game fight against odds
'for recovery from the amputation of
both feet. He was exposed seventy
hours in temperature close to zero and
when captured his feet were frozen
hard. For several days following the
operation his recovery seemed impos-
sible.
Charged with Stealing Comb.
The case in the district court at
Kearney of the state of Nebraska

evidence submitted was too circum-
stantial to secure conviction.

flected by increasing bank' deposits
and a lower record of trading defaults ,
the latter indicating an improved po-
sition of credits over recent reports.
"Prospects of better weather bring

more varied , although the

ance as to contracts for future execu-

tion.
"Price tendencies for factory sup-
plies to some extent are seen to be
easier , and this encourages more at-
tention to plans for construction and
railroad needs. There is , however ,
some conservatism where large finan-
cial commitments are Involved and a
more pronounced disposition to econo-
mize costs of production. Outputs of
factories in the Chicago district stead-
ily rise and this causes' notable for-
warding and an ample movement of
raw and finished products.

Trade reports are rather more irreg-
alar. Stormy , cold weather over wide
areas of country apparently has re
tarded the expansion of the spring
jobbing trade , but nevertheless the dis
tribution has kept up well ; in advance
of last year in fact , and distinct gains
in the volume of house trade are re
ported at many points. Retail trade
has been restricted and this in turfc
operates against re-order trade in ' . . . .
spring : ; goods with jobbers. Industries 1--
continue active , but there is rather
more evidence of friction in some
lines , particularly in railroad labor.
