12. C , Ferguson of Chicago presented the
rcpoit of the committee on Judiciary , uo-
eompankd by some suggestions on the "Ne
cessity of Uniform Legislation ' The eo-
operatlon of the lavvjor and the layman
was ntcctsary to bring about a uniformity
of the laws relating to commercial matters
The principal causes of complaint had been
gathered nnd the result was seven distinct
questions which seemed to demand attcn

been condueted by the committee , and much
Information had been obtained The present

This was follow ed by a eonclsc statement
of the Impel fectlons In the commercial laws
of the various states
ns Indicated by cor
respondence. These differed widely , accord
ing to the circumstances nnd the differing
situations In the \arlous ( .tales but all
agreed that a more prompl Irlal of causes
was advisable. nnd many of fhe corre
spondents declared thai ihe exemption laws
operated to demoralize business and to breed
dcadbeats. Thcie was a general demand
for the abolition of preferences In cases of
Insolvency , and the Massachusetts law was
cited as a model The paper concluded with
n recapitulation of the laws recommended

was ordered published In full , and the com
mittee was tendered aote of thauKs for

At this point in the
proceedings n. M
HartlcK cnme on the stage , accompanied by
lon. W J Uryan , whose appearance was
the signal for prolonged applause. Three
cheers were given for the \IMtor. who was
Introduced by Mr Hartlell. Mr. IJrynn
btntcd that he had piactlccd law for seven
years and still retained a warm
regatd
for the profession One of the things that
had most Impressed him In regard to the
law was the tact that lawyers could
con
tend bitterly In court without losing In
any
degree their personal esteem for each other.
If this principle was carried Into politics
our government would be conducted
on
loftier plane. a
Mr. llryan added that during the seven
jears of his active practice he had en
deavored to find out what the law was.
After that ho had tried to dclcrmlne what
the law ought to be and moie lecently ho
lind considered the Idea of e\ecutlng the
law as II was

TO THE LAW.
Judge G. \ \ . Ambrope of this city then
delivered a very Interesting address on
"
"Obedience to the Law "
The speaker stated that ho would endeavor
to Illustrate ihe fact that through obedience
the law became the poetry of character
lather than the prose of belllshness It
was a frequent Impression that It did not
require a high degree of legal talent to force
the payment of a Just debt from a reluctant
debtor. Hut this view was crioncous Com
mercial lawjers stood among the first In
their profetslon. Thcie was really nothing
new In the law. H was the same today as
> cstcrday The principles of light and
wrong had never changed , although their
application had been enlarged The common
law was simple reason , the art of dealing
with affairs by the light of experience A
writer had said that law was framed In the
bosom of God , but he could not have had
In mind some of the laws of Nebraska nor
Rome of the modern decisions of the supreme
courts. There were several distinct Ulmis
of law , bul each was allied to ihe other
for a common purpose The lawjcr who saw
no principle nl Make In his suits , bul only
the chaneo to win or lose , did not compre
hend his whole dut ) Obedience to the law
was the vlttuo that created the public con
science.
In conclusion Judge Ambrose showed how
the sentiment of obedience to Iho law thai
had been Inculcated In the hearts of the
Ameilenll people had three times tavcd the
nation from dlsabtcr. Ills address was ie-
cclved with exceptional appreciation , and nt
its close. Attornc ) General A F Churchill
was Introduced and briefly paid his lespeets
to iho convention ,
The closing ptipri of the morning session
was by A. A. Illrschl of Chicago , who read a
very strong paper on "Heform In Judicial
Procedure , "
GUOWTH OP THI3 LEAGUH.
An address by lion Hcnjamln nultcrworth
of Cincinnati on "Control of Trusts and
Monopolies' ' was an anticipated feature of

W , T. Stevens of Lincoln , Neb. discussed
"Some Measures of Safety" fts applied to
fraudulent failures. He began with Ihe
prctnlso lhat any man who could control a
small sum of money for a time could go Into
business and Intentionally nnd successfully
oxccute a fraud upon the wholesalers And
others with whom he did business. The
only safety from such swindlers lay In the
acumen of iho agencies , credit men nnd
commercial lawyers. This did not give
business men nn even chance against the
dishonest debtor He Miggcsted the cstnb
llshmeiit of n credit bureau at Washington
to whom nil Jobbers nnd other creditors
hhould report all credits extended , the
bureau then for n nominal fee to report to
the Jobber the aggregate Indebtedness stand
ing against one of his customers
C A Dudley of DCS Molncs spoke on "The
Vicious 8stem of Preferences In Insolv

nnd vigorous denunciation of the present
system. To the prncllcc of preferring crcd-
, Itors wns creditable much of the dlshoncstj

The visiting delegate * , to the convention
of the Commercial Law League of America
and their friends v ho had accompanied
them to Omaha were royally entertained
lubt cvenlm ; by Hon. George W. Linlngcr
at his mansion , Eighteenth and Davenport
streets. Assailed only by the darts of law
and beauty , the garrison of the mansion
stiuck Its colors earl ) in the evening , and
it was but a shoit while until Ihe mag-
nincenl residence and spacious grounds were
completely within the possession of the
vlsllois So thorough was the capture by
the Invading hosts that they remained in
command until the early morning hours
approached. During tVelr regime the bar-
rlstcia found In Omaha's representative cit
izens most willing biibjects. who were con
tent lo do whatever mlghl contribute lethe
the happiness of the conquerors.
Many great receptions have been held nt
the Llnlnger mansion and often it has been
gaily decorated and thrown open to the
guests of Omaha , but It wns the opinion of
all those conversant witli the matter that
never before had the house and grounds been
HO beautifully ornamented and nil Ihe ap-
polntmonts of a leceptlon so perfect as was
thu case last evening Not only were cx-
picsslons of delight hi aid from Omalmns ,
but there was not one of the visitors who
did not express his admiration foi the art
gallery , his pleasure In the festively iittlrcd
gardens nnd his enjoincnt of every detail
of the ic-ceptlon From none were stronger
words of praise heard than from the eastcin
visitors , who manifested no little surpilsu
nt finding such magnificence in even the
queen city of the west
1IIULLIANT ELECTRIC DECORATIONS.
Thu entire mansion was thiovvn open to
the vlsltois , rooms on thu upper lloois
being used fur smoking and uniting rooms
The paijuis and Imlluaju wcrn brllilantl )
lighted and throughout them were to be
seen beautiful cut flowers , bunches of roses
predominating. The various cuilos and
relics of the liost were on exhibition nnd
attracted no little attention The art gnl-
Icry wns well lighted and to each of the
guests wns furnished a galleiy catnioguu
of recent Issue Probably the strangers
spent inoio time in thin section of the man
sion than in any other. Within the palm
houses was stationed the le'Rlnicntul band
of the Twentj second infantiy from Fort
Ciook. The leceptlon was Itio first soeial
function at which the band had made Its
appearance and its music was hcaul by
ciltlcal cms That the decision of the audi
tors was favorable was evidenced by the
applause tlmt followed the various cclec-
ttoiiH nnd the reluctance of the dnnceis tn
allow the musicians to cento pla > lng nt all
If the house within appealed beautiful it
w auld bu ilitllcult to fairly dcsci Ibo the fair ) -

the palms nnd the lote buhc btrenmed
forth the dimmed light of various celored

kerne. In the nilcltt of the lawn there hnd

callerAu Illuminated toner on the south
sldo of the lawn also proved an Inviting re

Freight men nre bu y these days talking
of the movement of grain that Is expected
to follow the reduction of grain rntcs.
At the Chicago conference Inst week n
reduction of 7 cents on corn nnd emts from
Missouri river points to Chicago wns made ,
with n minimum of ir cents ; the ndvntitngc
of these rates was nlso extended to Nebraska
territory ns fnr westward as Lincoln nnd
Premoiit. There doubtless would have been
a sudden movement of grain thnt would
have taxed the equipment of thu vntlous
loads hereabouts hnd It not been for the
slump in the market thnt followed the re
duction In rules , nn is usually tliu case.
The market held firm for nwhllo nnd rnll-
load men were wondering whether moro cnrs
would have to be built , but the expected
drop In the market came along nnd nidely
awakened them from such dreams.
While there hns been no movement ns
yet thnt would wnrrnnt the belief thnt a car
famine Is near nt h.ind , the freight men
do expect thnt Inrge quantities of coin
nnd oats will soon bu moved out of Ne
braska. Division Freight Agent Lane of the
Union Pacific , tlmii whom there Is probably
no one better posted concerning Nebraska
grain matters , says that t'.cro Is about 35
per cent of the last crop still In Nebraska
Not nil that hns disappeared has been
shipped out of the state , for large iimntttlcs |
hnvo been fed The remaining third of last
season's crop will undoubtedly be moved
within n short period , now that a reduction
of tales hns been made It In the general
opinion tlmt holders of securities to whom
thu proceeds of the crops belong will not
nllovv the farmers to hold back their grain
waiting for u premised Increase In market
lutes.
CAR FAMINE IN KANSAS
Down In Kansas there Is n more marked
movement of such freight than thcic Is here
In fact , a lallroad man fiom that state
said that owing to a sudden ac
tivity in the corn trade n car famine ; was
not nn Improb-iblo happening He said
"All the railroads nre rtiblilng empties Into
the Kansas grain belt from the divisions
of their roads where tlie demand Is not BO
urgent. The movement of the Immense
npple nnd peach clops and cnoi mous quan
tities of vegetables to northern and western
points lb also n tax on the carrying ability
of the roads cnteilng Kansas. Some Scd -
vvlck county farmers will clear from their
fruit crops this year amounts equal to the
value of their farms. "
Superintendent of Cat Scnlrc Bucklng-
ham of the Union Pacific has returned from
a tilp through the west and over the Nc-
biaskn and Kansas linen. Ho Is sine there
Is going to be an enormous crop this season ,
and in view of incitement general cut in
grain rates Is watching his supply of cars
pretty closely. He said yesterday morning
thnt while there was a gi eater
demand for cars in Kansas than
thcio wns here at present one
couldn't tell Just how long It would
be before the local roads would be pressed
for cars He said for the present the Union
Pacific had a supply ample to meet the de
mand. The Milwaukee road reports that
Nebraska crops have not yet advanced to
u point where the equipment of tlie road Is
taxed. A considerable movement of old
grain Is reported , ho-wever , nnd the road Is
doing a big busincsa < ofrom < the local elevator
to Chicago.
There has been a question raised as to
whether pfraln moved Into the Omaha ele
vator several months ago would be trans
ported to Chicago on a proportionate rate
then in existence or on n Hat rate Just
made. Inquiry develops the fact that a new
proportionate1 rate Is being lire-pared and
will cover Ihls case No flal rate between
hcio and Chicago has been made that will
apply.
To moot the geneial reduction the Bm-
Hngton railway has announced a Hat rate
on corn Into Kansas City fiom points In
Mlssouil and Iowa north of St. Joseph on
the main binnch line to SI. Joseph nnd
Council Bluffs. The new rales vary fiom C
lo S ccnls per 100 pounds , mm are big re-
ducllons from the old rates , which ran from
10 to 14 cents The reduced rates will go
Into effect July 25.

At present writing just 1,022 pairs of the Odd Suit
Pants have been so'd. ' There are 742 pairs on hand ,
and with the exception of the dollar pants the as-
sortmcnt is practically complete. The $2.25 table has
the largest quantity , the best variety , and , of course ,
the finest pants. Many pants on this table can't be
duplicated for a five-dollar bill. The $1.50 table also
holds some very fine pants. Not a pair in the lot
