PROBABLE CLEMENCY FOR MURDERER RHEA lotted Moderns Rented rrlvllrae of Caadaetlaa; rratf rail laaaranre by the state laaaraace Commissioner. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 21. (Special.) James Riley of Plsttsmouth has protested to the secretary ot the State Board of Irrigation acatnit the allowance of the application of Andrew Rotewater of Omaha for per mission to use the water of the Plattamouth river abort Ashland for power purposes. Mr. Riley Is the promoter ot an enterprise somewhat similar In nature, which, were it carried Into operation, would use the water near Plattamouth, or below the point of Mr. Roaewater's claim. SeversI days aco the secretary of the board acted fa vorably on Mr. Roaewater's application, and Bow Mr. Riley demands a hearing, to the end that a full and free . discussion of the situation may be bad. The power plant contemplated In the plans sJbmltted by Mr. Rosewater Is by far the largest and most extensive ever formally proposed in this state. It would bare a capacity of 60.000 horse power, would utilize 5,000 cubic feet of water per second, and would cost $3,000,000 to build. The sys tem would Include a reservoir of 38,000 acres, extending from a point four miles below Valley, to within four miles of Ash land. At the lower end of this reservoir would be a dam six miles across. The water would be stored In this Immense basin and taken as needed through a canal to another reservoir about midway between Ashland and Richfield, where the power machinery would be located. The water would be returned to tho river, undimin ished In quantity, except as by evaporation and natural waste, at a point nearly below Richfield. Daata of ftlley Irateat. Mr. Riley has filed a protest, In which be says: "I beg leave to call your attention to the fact that the appropriation of water at that point Involves tbe construction of a dam to Impound It, the height of which will probably be about forty feet, and the length of It about six miles. I would In form you further that It- would Involve the construction of a tunnel leading Into Buf falo creek, the length of which will bo two miles. ' "I call your attention further to the fact of tbe practical impossibility ot the con struction of such a dam as contemplated. The undertaking la chimerical and Impos sible. , . . "I beg leave to call your attention to tbe fact that we are undertaking tbe con struction of a power canal, known as the Plaltsmoutb canal, commencing at the east end of Ashland bridge and Intersecting It or running across said Buffalo creek. Tbe allowance of tbe said Water right to the said Rosewater might seriously Interfere with our financial negotiations, leading up to the procurement of. a sufficient amount ot money with which to carry to a success ful conclusion our undertaking. I, there fore, protest against tbe allowance to the said Andrew Rosewater of his water right or appropriation, to the end that a full and free discussion of the x'tuatlon of both sides be held with s view to determining whether or not his request be granted." Secretary Dobson of the State Board ot Irrigation said today he would give Mr. , Riley en 'opportunity to be beard on his - protest, and that It he then declines to revoke (tie permit already Issued to Mr. Rosewater, the only or next recourse will be to appeal to the board. Ktn Wrinkle In laiaraaee, A new Idea In Insurance waa brought to the attention of the state Insurance de partment today and a decision was given to the effect that It could not be put into operation In this state, as requested, under the fraternal Insurance law.' E. M. John son of Denver, supreme chancellor of the United Moderns, asked permission for his 1 company to enter the Nebraska field. The company issues policies on the old-line basis, but rs organized as a fraternal or der. In other words. It Is of the stlpu eted premium class of companies with the fraternal feature attached. Mr. Babcock. deputy Insurance auditor, ssya the company may be licensed in the stipulated class, but cannot be termed a fraternal order. In writing to the Insurance department Mr. Johnson ssys tbe Idea Is used merely to attract persons who favor the fraternal . orders because they furnish social sniuse ment and association. Hope for Rhea. Governor Ssvsge has thus far given no Intimation to what his decision will be In the application for executive clemency In wehalf of William Rhea. He has said that i he will give his decision to tbe public sometime before April 25, but further than this he declines to be Interviewed. It Is 'becoming generally believed that the gov 'ernor Intends to commute the sentence. Several weeks ago. when tha matter was first being agitated. Private Secretary Clancey prepared a statement for the gov ernor to sign denying the plea for clem ency. The statement was never signed, but wss returned to Mr. Clancey, so It Is statet). and has now been forgotten.

CR1SC0M LAUCnS AT TI1E1DEA Head of International Navigation Company Suggested for President of Oombine. ENGLISH PRESS CRITICAL T0WAR0 POOL Thinks Great Britain's Steamship Men Are t nvvlse to Be nominated la Bnalneas by Their Yaakee Coaslas. NEW YORK, April 21. Clement At Orls com, head of the International Navigation company, which Is to enter the steamship combination, organized by J. P. Morgan, was In this city today and conferred for a long time, with some of Mr. Morgan's part ners. Mr. Grlscom's attention wss called to a ststement ot Charles H. Cramp, the Philadelphia ship builder, who is reported to have declared that the consolidation of English. German and American steamship companies on the lines planned by Mr. Mor gan would work harm to American ship builders. "Then let the Amertcsn ship builder swake up and do Something," said Mr. Grlscora. "There la plenty for him to do." Mr. Griacom characterized as "imagi nary," the reporta coupling his name with the presidency of the Morgan steamship combination. Later In the day It was snnounced st the office of J. P. Morgan Co., that the syndlcste In control bad closed the sub scription books here and abroad. No de tails aa to allotments of stock were given. Allotments of Stock. LONDON. April 21. The allotments of stock In the new shipping corporation were all taken up by British members of tbe syndicate at noon today. What proportion was given to Europe the Morgans decline to announce, but evidently It was not near y so large as desired by the British Interests. J. P. Morgan is now In Paris, but from other members of the firm the Associated Press learns that the corporation will be run almost exactly on the same linrs ss tbe United States Steel corporation, each bran h retaining Ita Individuality, but being sub ject to the control of the directing body. The statements Intended tor the stockhold ers of the new corporation regarding earn ings, management, etc., will be Issued by a method similar to the one now employed by the steel corporation. Regarding the defection of the Cunard, Allan. Anchor and French steamship lines the Morgsn views are as follows: It remains to be seen whether they will come In. We think It Is rather a good thing. In some respects, not to get every body In at the beginning, the idea being thst the present combine Is quite big enough to start with, snd It la better to get It down to a practical, working basis before being too anxious to make a clean sweep. Anent the possible refusal of the British and continental shareholders to ratify tbe directors' action tbe Associated Press is authoritatively Informed that no such con tingency Is possible, as the corporation al rkeady owns a controlling financial Interest in each line, and so far no indicatlona of discontent on the part of shareholders over the prospective conversion of their present securities have been noted. Rnsrlanai Is Agitated. What Is called the "Morganlzlng" of the greater section of the Atlantic ferry Is causing considerable perturbation In Great Britain. The Westminster Gazette sug gests that It may be entitled to' the grave attention of the government, as In some quarters' it Is insisted that the "vital In terests of the empire In time of war may be jeopardized by the new arrangement," and almost In tbe same breath the' paper reiterates the argument used when the combination was first mooted, that It would be a powerful peace factor between Great Britain aud America, for the great Amer ican financiers would find It to their own Interests to use their Influence against war between the two countries. The Pall Msll Gazette thinks the arrange ment gives tbe United Statea an enormous pull on the Atlantic and that it is not cred itable to Great Britain that English steam ship lines should be domlnsted by Amer icana. General Terms of t'nloa. BERLIN, April 21. The general terms under which the German steamship com panies have Joined the International ship combination are understood to be as fol lows: First The Germsn lines are to have such representation on the board of control as to prevent their being outvoted by the Anglo-American Interests. Tbe German companlea will thus preserve their Inde pendence and will no more be controlled by tbetr associates than they will control them. Second A pro rata distribution of profits according to tonnage will be made. Third The German companies , are to share in the advantages derived from what ever agreements the combination makes with Amerlcsn railroads. Besides these principles, which broadly outline the bails of the contract on tha union ot the German lines, la brought about, reports of other Ideas less easily under stood are In circulation. Tbess are based upon seemingly suthoritative Information. Division of Management. One of these reports is thst It Is the pur pose of the allied lines that the manage ment of the combination shall consist ot ttrse groups, of which the Hamburg-American Steam Packet company and the North German Lie yd line shall count for two and the Anglo-American lines for one. The future working of the combination appears to be provided for by a system which Is largely automatic, thus avoiding ths possibility of a conflict In management. Tbe newspapers, for tbe meet part, dis cuss ths steamship agreement adversely. The Berliner Tageblatt expresses the be lief that although the profits of the Ger man lines may temporarily increase. It will be at the loss of free development In the future and the exposure of German business to destruction, which American toolhardlness and American conceit of their greatness are sure to bring about. Tbe real American peril, continues tbe Tage blatt does not He In American competition, but of the possibility of bold financiers en tangling German business In unsound schemes.

My trouble be gan with pain In my stomach and back, so severe that It seemed ss If knlvis were cutting me. I wss treated by two of the best physicians In the country, and con sulted soother. None of them suspected that the cause of my trouble was kidney disease. They all told me that I bad cmcer of the stomach, and would die. 1 grew so week that I could not walk any more than a child a month old. and I only wcUb'-J sixty pounds. One dsy my brother saw In a paper your advertisement of Swamp-Root, the greet kidney remedy. He bought me a bottle at our drug store and I took It. My family could see a change In me, for the better, so tbey cbtslned more snd I contin ued the use of Swamp-Root regularly. I was so wesk and run down that It took considerable time to build me up again. I am now well, thanks to Swamp-Root, and weigh 141 pounds, and am keeping house for my husband and brother, en a fa. m.
