( Special Telegram. ) Tbe frolcht rate case on the Tibbies com plaint came up for hearing before the secre taries of the Board of Transportation this forenoon. George W. Berge of this city represented * resented the complainant The roads were represented as follows : C. F. Manderson for the Burlington , M , A. Low for the Rock Island. Ben Whlto for the Elkhoru , W. R. Kelly for the Union Pacific , and J. W. Orr tor the Missouri Pacific. Supplemental answers were filed by the companies , setting W > tbo fact that the recent decision of the United States supreme court perpetually en- joints the board or the defendant companies from reducing rates below what they were In November , 1891 , and also setting forth that the buslncFo ot the roads would not justify the lowering of rates. The amende * ! answers Alcd by the attor neys for the companies , besides setting forth the fact that the roads could not remain on a paying baals and make a reduction In rates , also quoted , the provisions In the. decision of the United States supreme courf , whereby the Beard of Transportation , this defendant and others were perpetually enjoined and restrained from reducing rates for the trans portation of freight within the state of Ne braska below the rates then ( November , 1S9I ) charged by Iho companies defendant In said null , and this defendant suys that It Is pow erless to obey any order which may bo en tered by your honorable board In this pro ceeding. MANORRSON MOVES DISMISSAL. At the afternoon session General Mander- on filed the following motion : Now como the defendants , Ihe Chicago Burlington & Qulncy Hnllroad companj find , the H. & M. Railroad company In Ne tir . < ka. and move. the State Umnl of Trans portutlon to illsmlfH tills complaint am causi' , for the1 reasons follciAliiK : " 1. That the State Hoard of Transportation It without jurlnllc Ion or power to entcrtnlt this complaint. 2. That the complaint nnd cause shouli be dismissed because of facts aippearlni upon the recor'i. 3. That the- State Board of Transportntloi nml the defendants herein have been am nru enjoined bv the mandate and decre of the United States circuit court In nni ifor the district of Nebraska , which orde of Injunction has l > H-n affirmed by the su prcmo court of the United State * , nnd o which Injunction the State Board of Trans portatlon hast full cognizance and know ! edge , and which paid Injunction la now I : lull foioo and effect. 4. That the only jurisdiction and trlbunn for hearing the complaint herein , or an Plmllar complaint , Is In th United State court according to the- effect and In th manner prescribed by the supreme coui ot the United Static In the case of Con rt'nntlno J Smyth , attorney general , el n constituting1 the Hoard cf Transportation c Nebraska ct al. appellants , against Olive Ames et al , decided ( it the October tern 1S97 , by the supreme court of the Unite State" . The entire afternoon was consumed In th discussion of this mollon. The principal ai gument WOB made by General Mandcrsoi who said that under the mandate of the su lirenio court It would be a farce to go o with this hearing. The board had no authoi Ity or power to act and any finding It mlgh make would bo worthless. It would merel consume the time of the secretaries of th board , "and what was much more valuibh the itlmo of the attorneys. " Ho said ths there was no reason at this tlmo for an u.ch complaint as hod been fllcd. At n "tlmo In the history of the stale had th relations between the companies and the pec pie been more aa.lsfactory , and a worlhles complaint , whether for pDllllcal purposes c In good falt'.i , should not bo taken up whc It could amount to nothing In the end. I < bls opinion the "disturbances brought abou by political malcontents wcro In the ercalcs degree censurable , and should be elampe under foot by the officers of the atate. " Th mandate of the court pointed out the enl manner In which a reduction of rates coul be effected , and It was folly to go on wit the present hearing. He said that none ( the companies would object > to an Inqulr Into their affaire , and would offer every fa clllty to the board , or to experts employe Iby It. but that "thla Tibbies absurdity" wt not the proper proceeding. OFFER BOOKS FOR INSPECTION. The other attorneys for the corporation endorsed .General Mandcrson's remarks an offered to open the books ot their companli to the full examination ot the board , bi they protested against the waste ot time c the present fruitless proceeding. Attorney G. W. Bcrgo for the complalnai ergucd that the proper way would .be to s ahead and ascertain whether or not the ratt were too high , and then decide If the boat ought to or bad power to act. He said the ] was no disposition other than to bo fa' with the companies' . This seemed to be In accord with the pr < gram mapped out , as Chairman Edgcrton i the board of secretaries announced ttat tl motion would bo overruled and the boar . would proceed with the testimony. He , hov ever , observed that It would be better to ni journ over until tomorrow. This brougl out a protest , from the attorneys , who pa ! that It was 'preposterous to go ahead \vl ; the farce. If the officers of the ro.id wei brought before the court to testify they coul give very little Information , as they con not bo expected to carry an accurate table < figures In their he-ads. The only sensible wa would be for the board to put Its queRtlai ITCHING SKIN DISEASES Chronlo Eczema spread all over my head. I had two doctors and tried lotions , but re ceived llttlo benefit.
