The case was submitted en affidavits which alleged a number of In stances in which personal violence had been used , and these wore considered by Judge Dickinson In an able opinion yesterday. In the course of his remarks Judge Dick inson said that the constltullon of Nebraska guarantees ,1 freedom of speecli which Is broad enough to permit representatives of labor unions to use any manner of persua sion that does not extend to violence. Such organisations cannot bo enjoined from pro ceeding In an orderly way to Induce recogni tion of what they consider their rights , but when they proceed to violence they go be yond the limit that the law allows. The court held that In this cato there was no ovlJenco of any Intention to use violence that would authorize an Injunction. If as saults had been committed , the sufferers had their remedy in the courts without resort to Injunction proceedings. Cleaning lip ( he IlneKet.

OMAHA HELPS THE STRICKEN Rapidly Raising a Fund to Re-Establish Business in Herman. PLENTIFUL SUPPLIES ALREADY RECEIVED Farmers from the Surrounding Coun try llrliiK III I.oiulB of Komi bteim Taken to Oncii tlio StorcH. Secretary Utt of the Omaha Commercial club has Just returned from Herman , the cyclone-wrecked town , where ho on Thurs day placed $1,000 with the local lellef com mittee for distribution among the needy. The money Is still coming In to the Com mercial club relief fund very fruely and probably tonight another remittance will be made. "Tho dcsolatlcn at Herman , " said Mr. Utt , "cannot bo described In words. The business portion of the city simply doesn't exist any more. The store 'buildings are not only blown down , but are split up into kindling wood , A whole board can scarcely i ' bo found. How those people r.ro over K-/IUIJ / to start up In business again is pretty hard to make out. Herman was a lory prosper ous lltllo town , with a rich country nil around It , and some of the mci chants had largo stocks. One man , a harness dealer , had a stock worth $1,000. Today ho Isn't worth a cent. Practically nothing of the goods In the stores has been saved. One Im plement house saved a few pieces of machin ery , and there Is ono grocery that came out In good enough shape to open up again. Otherwise thcro Is no business at all. "Ono of the most striking things about the affiilr Is the way In which the people of the surrounding towns and the farmers In the country near by are taking care of the pee ple. The people of nialr have simply gene up In a body and are nursing and feeding the unfortunalos. They go back and forth between Dlalr and Herman In box cars , to Herman In the morning and back homo late at night. And the farmcis from round about ha\o flocked In by the dozen , bringing sup plies of every kind. Thcro Is a row of wagons all around the town , driven In by the neighbors , who brought In food. There will bo no lack of supplies. Ill-Ail ) Itieil riiiitrlhiitloiin , "Some of tbo contributions , whllo made In a spirit of helpfulness and kindness , were Ill-advUcd. For Instance , a lot of hats anJ shoes weio sent In. but er.v few of them could be used on account of the great num- bev of misfits. For that reason money can be used to better advantar.i than supplies and can bo made to do inorugood than the i same amount invested In articles selected at random , without any special knowledge of the circumstances. "Slnco the Immediate need for fond has been relieved , It Is probable that a largo part of the money will be de\otcd to straighten ing out the business affairs of the town and getting some of the most needed business houses re-established. This will bo a hard enough task , even with all the help that Is given. A few tents have been put up and tome business can be carried on In them for a few da > t > . "There has net been as much progress In the work of clearing things up as those wha have not seen the place probably suppose should haxo been made The first day after the storm the people all Eat around doing nothing and net knowing what they might do. They were utterly dazed. Families sat i by the ruins of their homes and elmply , ' looked vacantlv at them all the time. It was thn suddenness of the catastrophe that i took their Bentea away. Had the storm | . come an hour later It Is certain that the loss of life would have been enormoui , as the j people generally would have been within doors. I understand the alarm was given by a man who saw the storm strike the Hopkins place , which was first In Its path. Otherwise the whole town might have been caught as the Hopkins family was. " The Implement dealers of Omaha have raised a cash fund of $190 for the benefit of L. Wachter & Co. , an Implement firm at Herman , and the "mm will probably soon bo considerably Increased. The Implement Dealers' association of eastern Nebraska and western Iowa will , It Is understood , make an effort to raise $2,000 to start the firm up In business again. The firm's loss amounted to $7,000. The grocery store which has al ready started up has also been helped by an Omaha jobbing houso. The money raised by the Commercial club Is being placed In the hands of a local com mittee of which J. H. Chambers , a. banker , Is chairman. The committee was selected i by Mr. Utt after ho had made Inquiries . among Ihe people and found men In whom j I they had the fullest confidence.

RIVAL | OF SUGAR TRUST ON THE STAND Free Culinn SiiKiir AVoiilil AVlne Out the American Cnne nml licet .SiiKiir IiiiIiiNtrlcH In Vltc Yenrn. WASHINGTON , June 16. The Industrial commission began Its session today t > y the examination of James H Post of Brooklyn , a representative of the Mollenhauor Sugar company , and the National Su < ? ar company of NcYork. . Mr. Post , referring to n list of sugar prices covering the last nine years , showed that the margin between raw and refined sugar had fluctuate ! with the ro- vlblon of the tariff and thn entrance of 'competing companies In the field. The standard - dard pilco of refined sugar , ho said , was fixed dally by the American Sugar Refining 'company , and as a rule these price ? wern followed by the Independent refineries. iMr. Post paid that as a general proposition , ho thought the , American Sugar Refining com pany had Influenced conditions for the good of the country. "Do you think , " asked Mr. Hatchforl , "that It would bo a good thing for the American company to bo in entire control of the field' " "No , " said Mr. Post , "I think the entire control of an article of universal consump tion In tlio ham's of any one sot of men would he a very dangerous power. " "Tliat Is what the trust almo at , " said Mr. Uatchford , "according to Mr. Ilavemeyer's own statement. " "The business might got Into the hands of men not n broad-minded as Mr. Have- meyer , " replied Iho w line's. "Mr " Post denies that either the national or the Miillcnhauer companies were connected In any way with the American Refining company. At the present price of raw sugar the margin between raw and refined was C3 cents per 100 pounds before the refiner began to roall/n a profit. Mr. Prst said that In pnst years his reflnerlrs have used Cuban cane sugar almost altogether , hut slnco the great i eduction In the Cuban output they had been forced to rely largely on Buropean beet sugar , principally German find Austrian The European refined sugar was cheaper to produce than the American , but not of go good a quality. Of Imported MW sugar the American refiners had gotten largo quanti ties from the Philippines. "Regarding " the ef fect of the Sugar trust on the price of raw sugar wltncfs Bald he thought the presence of ono great buyer In the field had tended to Keep down the prices , but he did not think the trrst could keep down the prl"e more than 1-16 of a cent a pound , and that f < /r only a portion of each season. On Inquiry as to the affidavit plan of sell ing to wholrsalo grocers wltnma mid that It had recently been abandoned The result wno , In many places , grocers were cutting the prlco of sugar and selling at a loss Mr Post said he was sorry for the grocers , hut It was a matter of little Interest to the refiner. The refiners allowed Iho grocers a profit of 3-10 of n cent n pound , which wan ns llttla as they could afford to handle It for. Free sugar from Cuba , witness said , would wipe out American raw sugar , both beet and cane. In the next five > eara. Short Cabinet ScKxIiin. WASHINGTON , June 1C.

REORGANIZING STANDARD OIL Iteport that nil Authoritative Slnte- nidtt In to He Inxneil In n Short Time. NRW YORK , Juno 1C. Gossip of the past two years In regard to the affairs of the Standard Oil company Is to be disposed of by an official statemenl to be Issued soon by Samuel C. T. Dodd , attorney for the com pany , says the Times. Wall street has nfways had several stories alKiut the adjustment of the nffalrh of the Standard OH company. This week there have been a dozen rumors on tbo subject. One was that the company was to bo dissolved , another that a reorganisation which vould consolidate all Interests wlth'a capitalization of $500,000,000 had been decided on and that new stock on the basis of live shares for one would bo Issued. A story that was not regarded as without foundation by many who are usually well Informed about Standard Oil affairs was that the company would liquidate and that a new company would bo formed with a cap ital of from $100,000,000 to $125,000,000 , The scheme outlined comprehended the exchange of the outstanding certificates dollar for dollar - lar , the holding of $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 of treasury stock and a cash distribution among the holders of certificates. The new company under this plan -nrould be a New Jersey corporation. It was assumed that the cancelatlon of Iho original certificates of the trust , which originally amounted to. $97,250,000 , had progressed to a point where I a reorganisation of the company would present - I sent little difficulty , and that the decision In this regard was i cached at Dayonne , N.
