JUDGE GRANTS INJUNCTION
Eight Railroads Are Forbidden
to
Discriminate Against Small
Shippers.
f0 "ITY. April 27. Judge John F.
Phillli.
.. i mien staiea circuit court
here tods j.' a temporary Injunction
restraining v." dk eight named rail
roads from o.'. :'ng against small
shippers: Chlcag. Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul, , "i, Topeka &
Santa Fe. Burlington a. ,ney, Missouri
Pacific, Chlcsgo, Rock U.and ft Pacific,
Wabash and Chicago Oreat Western.
The case preaented the same question In
volved In similar canes passed upon by
Judge Orosscup at Chicago on Friday last.
As the demurrers In these casea were heard
by Judge Grosscup snd Judge Phillips. Bit
ting together, the brief opinion given by
Judge Oiosscup last Friday was the result
of their conference and agreement.
The decision delivered by Judge Phillips
today, which was oral, maintains that the
discriminations and rebataa made and al
lowed by the railroad companies were
violative of the Interstate commerce act
and that they tended to create a monopoly
In the shipment of grain and products in
favor of the Individual shipper, to the
practical exclusion of all other dealers and
like shippers, and that the question pre
sented was whetner or not a bill In equity,
at the Instance of the attorney general of
the United States, on request of the Inter
state Commerce commission, mould lie to
enjoin the defendants from further rebates
and discriminations.
The inclination of the mind of the court
was that the acta done were not only vio
lative of the Interstate commerce statute,
but also the anti-trust statute; snd that
the government. In the capacity of a parent,
representing all the people conoerned In
the shipment of such products, and for tho
public welfare, was entitled to appeal to
Its own courts to enjoin such violations
of the law; that the bill known aa tho
Elklna bill, uuder the decision of the au
preme court of the United Statea in MIs
slourl Pacific Railway company against
United States, recently rendered, expressly
confers jurisdiction upon the federal courts
In equity both aa to pending and future
casea; that there can be no question of
the right of the court to grant a tem
porary Injunction in the casea pending,
which will be done aa on motions now en
tered, with leave to the defendants, If they
desire, to take Issue by answer aa to the
truth of the allegations of the bill.

thoroughly tanned face, stepped out on the

the president Theodore Roosevelt. The

It waa just 5:18 when ten mounted police,
officered by Sergeant Hayea, awung out
upon the viaduct and headed north between
avenuea of people that extended In angled
lines clear to the Omaha club, and num
bered 100,000 at leaat calculation.
Twenty-four membera of tbe South
Omaha cavalry troop In full uniform daahed
from the sides of tbe viaduct and took posi

O. O. Osborne's battalion, Including tbe
Thurston Rifles, fifty men; the Omaha

aecret service men and about his carriage,
on foot, four othera. The carriage, a superb
affair, was drawn by a apan of the hand

In dark livery.
But all these were acarcely observed by
tbe crowds. It was Theodore Roosevelt

It waa Theodore Roosevelt who stood nearly

the old and the young, the fortunate and
the unfortunate, the sturdy and the fair.

Enthusiasm at Every Tars.
It was a well-deported crowd and a

Men grown gray with weighty business af
faire bared their heads aa the natlon'a chief

In shouting his name. Women, Indifferent
to the wind that waa playing havoc with

kerchiefs, clapped dainty handa and smiled
auch smiles aa commoner men can never

When the carriage turned off Tenth street
onto Howard a aecond-hand dealer raced
madly and hatless to the edge of the curb
and focused a ten-mile field glass on the
passing figure. The president of the United
Statea saw him and grinned. Aa the car
riage waa about to turn off Howard onto
Twelfth hundreds of working girls in tbe
wlndowa of the Byrne-Hammer establish
ment waved tiny flags and swelled the
chorus of cheering. The president of the
United States saw them and waved bla silk
hat ao gayly that all the crowd noticed
It and laughed tn sympathy. On Twelfth,
juat before Harney street was reached,
there waa a bait and the president and
hia companions changed to tha aecond car
riage, one better adapted to observation.
The driver of the first carriage hesitated
a moment In confusion and the president
of the United Statea noticed him and said:
"Drive up!" in a manner most democratic.

From Twelfth to Fifteenth streets the
carrlagea moved up Farnam along which
every door and every window and every
balcony was crowded full of waving, cheer

every rank. The president of the United
Statea aw, or seemed to see, every group
and gave them all a bow or smile or
friendly wave. At Fifteenth and Dodge,
men In blue ealuted from the windows of
the army headquarters. Tbe president of
the United States saw them and aaluted in

In the middle ct the aldewalk, hearing what
he could not aee. Tbe president of tbe
United Statea noticed even him and smiled
a amile of auch vast sympathy that his
secretary turned to ascertain what could

President Roosevelt put In a strenuoua
day In hla tour of Nebraska yesterday.
Starting out from Grand Island ha traveled
on four diflerent railroads, stopping at
seven different potnts, speaking to thou
sands upon thousands ot Nebraska's men,
women and children.
So far aa temperature was concerned the
day waa all that could be desired, although
until late In the afternoon Its comfort waa
marred by high winds and heavy dust, fol
lowed by showers In Lincoln, Wahoo ani
Fremont, to be capped with most favorable
weather conditions upon hit arrival In
Omaha.
The president was In the best of spirits
from beginning to end ot the day'a ride,
exhibiting an exuberant Invigoratton, re
sulting from the refreshing recreation be
had had In hU outing In the Yellowstone
park. Hla face shows signs of exposure
to tbe direct rays of tbe aun In tha rarl
fled atmosphere of tbe higher reglona, but
in physique and weight, thoae who know
him aay, he never looked better. In every
look, word and action he exhibited unmeas
ured satisfaction with the magnificent wel
come accorded him by the people of Ne
braska. A welcome which showa that he
occupies a place' closer 'o 'he hearts of
the people tha.i any other president who
has visited the state without exception.
Everywhere from the most lonely water
tank to the most populous city In Ne
braska he waa acclaimed with unbounded
enthusiasm by all classes ot the people.
Speaks of Prosperity.1 x

good citizenship and national prosperity,
which he wished to emphasize to the public,
mind. What he' said waa suggested by
what he aaw aa .the train lore him over tbe
fertile prairies and promlstng Delis of the
richest agricultural section ot the middle
west. The rows of veterans of the civil
war. In which they had enrolled themaelves
under the flag for tbe union, called forth a
tribute to tbe patriotism that bad pre
vented disunion. The array cf Spanish
American volunteers reminded him of tbe
tact that In tbe "little" war which followed
Nebraska was among the first to offer Its
aona to uphold the prestige of the nation
In the far east. The banks of school chil
dren Inspired htm to new sermons on the
superior value of the cltlxen who con
tributes to the expansion of the country'
population. Hla participation In tbe ground
breaking for two new publlu libraries do
nated by Andrew Carnegie at Orand Island
and Hastings respectively called forth rec
ognition of tbe Influence of the library,
achool and church In the upbuilding of the
moral character of Ihe people, which, In the
president's opinion, counts for more than
material prosperity. And, finally, the gen
eral welcome of the people suggested to him
various lines of good cl.lzenahip the neces
sity of tbe Individual co-operation of all
the people to produce the best results from
the operation ot good lawa and honeat
governmental admlnletratlon.
Mains of Nebraska's Greatness.
The conditions of the farm and field
templed him to congratulation of the farm
era of Nebraska on the advantages tha.
have accrued from the diversification of
thelreropa and especially from the culti
vation of alfalfa aa supplementary to corn
and wheat. The transformation of the
aeml-arld region expected to follow from
the consummation ot Irrigation projects now
In band which were pointed out and the
debt owing to Nebraska's senatora and rep
resentatives in the United States senate
and house of representatives In tbe enact
ment of the Irrigation measure acknowl
edged. The frequent groups of treea juat
budding Into leaf and blossom called forth
several tributes to tbe enduring monutnenta
of Arbor day, commemorating the llfework
of the late J. Sterling Morton. Inter
spersed with the speeches was much con
versational repartee between the president
and bla auditors who occasionally corrected
htm or amplified bis statements and fre
quently showed their approval by crlee of
"Right you are," "That's a fact," and
"Wo'U remember it."
Reception Alona; the Hoato.
The moat striking, of course, waa that
accorded to Omaha, but Lincoln wal not
far behind and the president, in quitting
the state capital look occasion to call out
the heads of the committee In charge, and
the officers of the National guard and Uni
versity batalllon to tender them hla per
sonal thanks for the auccessful arrange
ments prepared for his romlng.
In transportation facilities the president
and hla party were particularly fortunate.
They bad the best of the best railroada In
Nebraska and except for additional stops
Inserted Into the train schedule and one or
two excesses of time limits were prompt
at every point. The president made glad
the hearts of each train crew by receiving
the membera for a cordial handuhake when
he finished tbe trip In tbelr charge. It
