thnt tho froight rato conhl not lo llgnrcd
by a person without reference to distnnoo
Kdiodnles nnd other forum kept on fllo
Mr Meservo Mnto treasurer naked n
number of questions which hml tho ap
pearance of nil endeavor to Initio up
tlio witness or induco questions fnvor
nblo to tho dofondnnt Attorney Free
interrupted him with a lllppunt roninrk
nnti Meservo stnted that he nuked tho
quoMions purely ns n nintter ollnforinn
tion nnd wnntcd no slurs oust upon tho
board lie stated thnt he kept n public
ofllco nnd that tlio records over which
lie presided wero open to public inspec
tion His comparison wns to the ellect
that if tho schedules or tho rnilrond
company were accessible to tho com
pany that should bo snlltciont us It wns
in regard to his olllce
Tho Ixmrd expressed n desire that
tho homing should he hurried ulong us
much time wns being consunted in re
marks on this point They wero as
sured that other points would ho brought
out in duo time hut it was considered
necessary that they should know all re
luting to each complaint
Other roads keep posted a tnrilT from
which rates to nnd from any point can
lie readily figured and havo it in a enn
vns book which is open to inspection at
all times and for any length of time
An elTort was made to show that
other depots wero more ronioto and that
tho schedules would not bo destroyed
owing to this fact
Difforont porsons had gono to tho
union depot to got rates and wero uiiublo
to do so promptly and conveniently
Mr Meservo thought that tho quick
est nnd oasiost way to gut rntcs would bo
to ask tho ngeut
It wns admitted that this was tho
usual method employed but that this
was not in compliance with tho lettor
nnd spirit of tho law
Tho other rompluiuts weio pnssed
over quickly until soctlon 8 wns reached
when some interesting testimony and
remarks woro brought out Mr John
sons testimony wont to substantiate
tho complaint mndo in this section On
iuquiry from tho board ho stated thnt
tho lino eudod at tho depot but that the
tariff sheet considered llopo tho last
station on tho road This is a switch in
tho conutry noar tho asylum about two
and one half miles northeast of the
city Tho train docs not stop thero or
unload freight usually but runs on into
Norfolk to which there is no published
rato The road has trackage rights to
tho Junction Tho road will not carry
freight from Omaha to Norfolk and Mr
Johnson snronstieully romarkod that
Hope was considered as a city but tho
company didnt appear to kuow Norfolk
Tho Uh nrticlo in the complaint was
then taken up and Mr Johnson intro
duced two lottors one written by Mr C
G Sowers in which ho statod that his
houso had booked an order for a dozen
chairs to bo shipped to Norfolk by tho
defendant Tho Omaha ugont refused
to recoivo them for shipment and they
wero sent by tho Elkhorn
Mr White wnntcd to know if it was
tho desire to pay freight via tho M it O
a distance of 112 miles whon it could bo
shipped in lilt miles
Mr Johnson replied that thev refused
to ship at any rato
Another letter was in reply to an
order sent by S Fuosler to Pnxtou
Gallagher The ordor was to ship over
tho M O or cancel tho ordor Tho
letter stated that tho shipment had been
refused by tho defendant and the order
was cancelled
Mr Whito said ho had recoived infor
mation that tho company wns now re
ceiving freight in Omaha for shipmeur
Mr Johnson thought tho ordor must
havo been vory recent
Mr Johnson thou introduced as ovi
deuce some freight bills received from
shipments on the Oth instant In intro
ducing this testimony ho said that four
shipments of 1H pounds ench had been
hauled to South Sioux City These
were of liko class and were shipped
uuder tho samo rate Tho shipments
were mndo by the Lindholm company
nud consisted of woveu wiro bed mat
tresses One shipment was made to
Florence auother to Hartington ono to
Lincoln and the other to Norfolk The
haul of 71 miles to Norfolk was made
for -Hi cents thnt to 1 Turlington miles
was 58 cents and to Florenco 1 15 miles
wns 42 cents There wero no compet
ing lines to these towns and in propor
tion the rate to Norfolk should be about
HO cents
Mr Whito endeavored toquestionMr
Johnson when Mr Free interrupted him
in a rather boyish manner whispering
to tho witnoss etc and Mr Whito re
turned to Iub seat
This called Attorney General Smyth
to his feet with tho statement that the
board wnuted this investigation con
ducted in an ordeily and giiitlemnnly
manner and ho for ono was ready to ad
journ the meeting if a pioper degree of
decorum was not preserved Ho didnt
ivaut boy play and ho called on Mi
Free as an attorney to know if he
thought it propor to whisrer to a wit
ness on the htnud He said ho was cer
tain that the exhibition did not repre
reseut the wishes of tho business men of
Norfolk nud the statemeut was liber
ally applauded Mr Free begged the
pardon of tho board statlug that ho did
not menu to give offence ami refrained
from further iuterruptious
Mr Whito then questioned the witness
very miDutely aud wanted information
us to whether or not the rates were not
Just when considered from short haul
distances and to meet competition both
out of tho state and in Ho endeavored
to show that tho rate to Florence was
affected by tho shorter haul on tho oast
of tho river and the rato to Hartington
by the Short Lino haul Ho also sought
to show Hint the other rntcs quoted were
Justifiable
Ho succeeded in bothering Mr John
son sonio hut in tho main that gentle
nmn held his ground well In reference
to the Hartington rate ho said that the
present rate was In voguo before tho
Short Mno was built
Mr Johnson stated that tho Norfolk
business men would bo sntislled with
tho treatment accorded other towns nnd
cities siinilnrhy situated Norfolk is
within 7r miles of tho river nud if it
could havo the rates accorded Lincoln
Fremont ami even Columbus It would
ho satisfactory The desire wastomako
this a distributing point aud it could not
be done under the present rato
The witness was intoruptod by Mr
Smyth and Troasuror Meservo and ac
knowledged in reply to some rather
confusing questions that tho rato should
perhaps be fixed at what would bo a
reasonable charge for the service and not
those fixed by competing lines in other
portions of tho slnto
Tho action of membors of tho board
brought N A Hulnbolt to his foot nud
ho in language both eloquent and force
ful told them what ho considered their
duty They wero olected as public
servants and paid as such and their duty
was not to come bore and ask for a com
plaint nor for testimony Nor is it their
duty to come hero for tho purposo of
confusing boys by asking confusing
questions Their ellort should ho to
discover if theso nre wrongs and to
rectify them Ho thought that the
bonrd should seo to It that tho snmo
charges should bo mndo by tho samo
rnilroadsoufroutod by tho same con
ditions Ho didnt want this investiga
tion to end in a tarce as the previous one
conducted by tho secretaries had done
and which was very disgusting to him
Ho wanted justice for Norfolk and
only that
Mr Meservo attomptod to intorrupt
him but Mr Raiubolt held the floor to
tho end of his lecture and when ho sat
down was roundly applauded
In referring to Section 12 Mr Johnson
said that papers and mail from Omaha
woro roeeived over tho M ei O lino two
hours earlier tlinn over any othor routo
and concluded that freight thus delivored
would bo a great couvienco to mer
chants He claimed thoy aro often put
at u disadvnntago because such delivery
is not mndo Freight wns hauled through
Hope and Norfolk transferred to
tho Oroighton branch nud hauled north
but could not deliver here Was often
dumped out on tho platform at tho
Creighton depot
Mr Matrau iutcrupted to stato that
tho freight was not dumpod out on tho
platform but wns received in tho Omaha
ear aim sine iracKeu noro uu cross
question ho adniittod that much of it
was dumped on the platform
In discussing section it in regard to
an unlawful pooling combine 11 B
Woller manager of the Chicago Lumber
Co was called to tho stand Ho stnted
thnt in conversation with Mr Junemau
some time ago that gentloinau stated
that in former times pools hnd existed
whoreby tho road enrrying tho freight
recoived 00 nud tho compotiug lino 10
per cout of tho proccods Ho nlso stated
thnt in couveisution with Lyuiuu J
Sholes division froight aud passenger
ngeut of tho M O thnt gentlomnu
had hoped that tho ttmo would come aud
arraugoinents made whereby his road
might haul freight from Omaha to
Norfolk
At this point tho board adjourned for
supper and mot again at 7 10 when the
tlrenious hnll was crowded with busi
ness men aud others interested
Mr Weller was again called to the
stand to provo that the M Ss O Hue
runs into Norfolk He statod thnt tho
property on which his ynrd stood was
rented of that company aud as thnt is
located southeast of tho dopot tho con
clusion was that tho lino ends in Nor
folk and not at Hope siding
Agent Junemau was on the stand and
testified as to tho time of tho freight
train between Omaha Finersou aud
Norfolk His testimony further went
to show that thero wero no regular
freight shipments receivod from Omaha
He statod however that hound received
a keg of nails billed to John Friday
that day but questioned in regard to
the charges ho didnt kuow what they
wero Mr Friday went nnd secured
the bill which showed I2 cents charges
He thought that was tho lint freight
shipment he had received via the M it O
In regard to the statement of Mr
Weller Mr Junonian said that in a
conversation with Mr Wilier sometime
ago ho had explained that prior to the
going into effect of the intcrtnto com
merce law pools had existed Mr June
man explained that at that time ho was
railroading in Colorado nnd he had no
reference to conditions in Nebriki of
which he knew nothing and only kuow
f the existence of pools through publio
rumors As a railroad ngeut he never
had Mich information olllcially
The witness was asked by Mr John
son as to what tho tariff rato was be
tween South Sioux City nnd Ujlumbus
or Albion He said that ho couldnt
tell without procuring tariff sheets aud
when he wpiit afpr Hifin Mr Ttmsnn
THE XOK FOLK NEWS TIIUKSDAY FEBRUARY 15 lJOO
stated that as ho had received them they
wero f0 cents to Columbus a distnnco
of 135 miles while tho rato to Norfolk
wns la cents giving for tho haul from
Norfolk to Columbus Ml miles 8 cents
This seemed to impress tho bonrd more
than any testimony yet given
W II Dexter wns called nud stnted
that 1 ax ton it Gallagher of Omaha hnd
established a distributing warehouso
here in 18811 nud ho took charge of it in
18HI Thoy did a largo and growing
business until tho fall of 1885 when the
firm withdrew from tho territoiy tho
main reason given was on nocotint of a
discriminating freight rnto They
handled n territory east to West Point
west to tho end of tlio lino tho Oroigh
ton branch and toward Sioux City
The houso hold its own in competing with
Sioux City Fremont nnd other jobbers
The bulk of thoir goods wero shlppod
over the Union lnciflc Sinco then
three different mon hud endeavored to
establish distributing points but wero
unable to do ho Ho recited the experi
ence of James Hamilton in tho hide
business who wns coinpolled to romovo
to Sioux City ns ho could not ship from
hero Ho thought tho rates wero
cheaper now than they wero then nud
if Norfolk wiib put on tho samo basis as
Fremont Lincoln and Columbus could
yet do business
W II Blukoninn general agent of
tho llauo Manufacturing company
stnted his house had no chance to open
u distributing point hero Had reason
to helievo that with renBoimblo ratos his
company would do so In a cross flro
about freight rates Air Blnkemnn was
somewhat disconcerted by A K
Merchant
Mr Woller aud Mr Johnson on ono
sido nud Mr Merchant nnd Mr White
on tho other hnd a lively discussion in
regard to froight rato discrimination in
its various phases whilo tho members
of tho board occasionally interrogated
tho speakers to learn what thoy knew
of tho mutter This conversation iu
clndod mnuy figures which tho reporter
wns iiuablo to cntch but they all tended
to show thnt Norfolk was discriminated
against as a distributing point Tho
stntomonts proved thnt n jobber attempt
ing to handle business from Norfolk
would bo out his freight from Norfolk
to point of destination ns it could bo
inoro cheaply shipped direct from
Omaha
Tho statomeut was elicited from Mr
Johnson that all points ns favorably lo
cnted ns Norfolk should receive liko
treatment and ono of the railroad men
nthed if Norfolk would bo benefited
providing othor towns hnd liko facilities
Mr Johnson thought it would
Tho members of tho board soonied to
havo arrived at a decision aud Treasurer
Meservo mndo tho motion thnt an ordor
bo made establishing tho rato of 85 cents
a hundred between South Sioux City
and Norfolk
In seconding tho motion Attorney
Goneral Smyth wished it understood
thnt this was a tentative order and that
tho railroad representatives would bo
given an opportunity to show cause
why this order should not go into effect
and said that both sides to tho contro
versy would be given an opportunity to
nppcar
Mr Johnson thought that such n rato
would bo satisfactory nnd tho motion
wns put to n vote and carried Another
motion wns mndo that tho M O line
bo ordored to accept Omaha freight des
tined for Norfolk and the motion pre
vailed unanimously
On tho question of ordering a tnriff
published nud posted between South
Sioux City nnd Norfolk thero was a
question of jurisdiction on tho part of

under udvisemout tho attorney geuenil
