LINCOLN, Aug., 4. (Special.) Former
Senator W. V. Allen In the Independent
today will answer the charge of Ingratitude
glared against him for not following the
lead of Bryan in his support of Parker,
mid he will also state that Mr. Bryan'
theory of state ownership of railroads la
. Indefensible. His letter to ths Independent
follows: .
To the Editor of The Independent: In
troductory to whet I huve to nay respecting
some- of th mistuker. remedies Mr. Bryan
otters the publli, 1 wish to utterly re
pudiate the cha. j-e of Ingratitude made by
some democrats papers of Nebraska. 1
Question tiis largeness of soul of those,
who, having extended what they regard as
a favor, constantly remind the recipient
of the fact and Insist that thereafter he
shall accept any view they may entertain
whether right or wrong.
1 assume that I am in as good a po
sition as any person to know the cir
cumstances of my election to the United
States ser.V.e. and to undetstar.d wh- con
trlbuted to It and who did not. And
whether I ant to be regarded as gratatul
or ungruteful I shall not be driven by
such an uceusation trotn opinions 1 Know
to be correct or from a position I believe
to be impregnable.
In two successive campaigns I gave Mr.
Bryan enthusiast!? and undivided support
for tho presidency; and 1 would rejoice
at an opportunity to do so again, because
I believe that, all things considered, he
Is the best equipped man In public life
for the position, but 1 deny that I am
iustly chargeable with Ingratitude because
fall to folio v him In all thlngi, or to
accept his belief In all things.
I am Mr. Bryan's senior in years and
as a lawyr, ani while I would readily
accept hi opinio? respecting a question
of political economy, and. ordinarily, of
feneral public policy, I would not adopt
ds view, or that of any other man, of a
-question of Jurist rudenc where It ami
In direct conlllc; with my experience and
reading.
I have been asked whether in. derllninfr
co-opcratior. with the democratic party o:i
the state ticket, I wish to give aid and
comfort to the republican party? I un
hesitatingly that I do not. I g V fur
ther. I Twi a klndlle.- feelt.is for thoai
with whom my party has workel In har
mony than I possibly cnuU have for thoue
1 believr to be promoting policies that
are destructive of the republic and Inim
ical to the general warfare.
Nor am I In fav r of giving aid and
comfort to thai part of the democratic
party, now triumphant, whose policies and
measured are similar In kind to those of
the republican party and to me Indis
tlngulsliabls from them, by co-operatir.g
with It. And the fact th.it I decline to do
so is not to be construe! into favoring
the retention of the republican party In
power. 1 wu d defeat both the republi
can ant :democrtio par'les and enthrone
the populist party if tnat were In my
power.
As a:- Incident of my position, the In
terest of ore or the other of these or
ganisations may, In a measure, be pro
moted: bu : 1 car not hesitate to do what
I believe t be correct or. account of
that fact.
Aa to Hi'tsl.ea Remedies.
Since the suprams court hell In Pollock
against Fanners' Loan and Trust company,
16. L'. S., !kl, and Knowleton against
Moore, 178 U. 8., 41, and in numerous
other raws, that the Income tax clause
of the tariff act of 1SSM Is unconstitutional,
Mr. llryun has advocated an amendment
to the federal constitution.
I d: not se the wisdom of an attempt
to amend the constitution In this respect
Befor tht could be accomplished con
gres.i woilil have to submi'. the proposed
amendment to the legislature of forty-five
tatJ and three-fourths of thtm would
hav i to concur to make the amendment
a part of the constitution, a thing I believe
to b Impossible at this time.
Th supremo court has never held that
an. Incon.s tax act that Is apportioned
among the several states within this union
according to their respective numbers Is
unconstitutional, but uniformly that such
laws a const. luttontl. Now, it Is clearly
within the power of congress to pass such
a law; a-nd, the constitution having de
clared this to be the true policy of the
nation. 1 am not prepared to say that the
fratrers of that lumrunent were wrong
and trat Mr. Bryan la r'ght.
Respecting Mi. Bryan's declaration in
for of state ownership of railroads, I
thlivk It Indeferslble oil the ground of
public policy and aa conflicting with the
fedeial constitution and the decisions of
the supreml court. That Instrument would
have to be changed befote state owner
ship could be made to accomplish any
remedy, In the public Interest If even then
effectual. The constitution expressly de-
dare that' "The congress shall have
power tj regulate commerce with foreign
nations and among the several states, and
with the Indian tribe."
Commerce Is trafflo and includes trans
portation. Thers are forty-five states, and

Nance County Tarn Trick.
Information has been received by the
members of the Stat Board of Equalisa
tion that Nance county haa worked a clever
scheme and Is shy on its assessment just
1400,000. It was reported to the board that
the County Board of Equalization of that
county did not adjourn It meeting until
Just about the tim it was learned what
the state board Intended to do. When the
state board failed to change the assess
ment of Nance county, so the report goes,
the county board scaled down Its assess
ment something like $400,000. It Is not too
late yet, however, for the state board
to run lip the Nance county assessment
sufficient to meet the 14 per cent decrease,
as the stat board has not yet adourned,
but merely took a recess until It found
that everything had been done correctly
and there was no chance for errors.
The 'returns to the state board made by
the county assessor of that county shows
an assessment of 13,785,003.16, while the re
turns mads by the county clerk show a
decrease of $400,000. It was this difference
that led to the belief that the scaling down
had been made at the last minute. The
returns have been sent back to the as
sessor for full information. The amount
of taxes to be paid by .Nance county has
been certified out to the clerk bastd on ths
figures filed by the clerk. Nothing will be
done by the board until further Investiga
tion Is made.
Increased Interest In Assembly.
The Epworth leugue assembly today at
tracted considerably more people than was
present at the opening yesterday and an In
teresting program was carried out, winding

Democrats are looking up. Lat night at
the Fourth ward caucus held for the pur
pose of selecting delegates to the county
convention to be held Friday the announce
ment was made that they were going to
make a try to get in a democrat in the
house and In the senate from Lancaster
county. To do thl they expect to nomi
nate only one candidate for each place and
concentrate their fight on these twe men
and by the, single shot way they Imagine
they have' c fighting chance to win.
They are relying on the populist helping
out with a few vote and they think pos
sibly, that some of the republican voter
will be willing to scratch at least one man
on the ticket and thus help along the plan.
Lancaster county I so overwhelmingly re
publican that It wa not thought the fusion
forces would even raise a disturbance
here, and their latest announcement has
caused some amusement
The delegate were strongly in favor of
fusion, but none of them brought it out
Just how fusion could be brought about,
unlesa -the populists agreed to do all the
fusing. ,
Mrs. E. R. Matthews, who succeeded her
husband as bond clerk In the office of

The State Banking board has received
reports from fifty-one building and loan

day.
That threatened strike of the motormen
and conductors employed by the Lincoln
Traction company 1 still threatened, with
little chance of being pulled off. The
company manager Issued an order that the
motorican and conductor on each car should
check up the other and both be responsible
for the take In. Neither wanted to stand
for It and according to the men the order
has not been obeyed. For the Information
cf die outside world it I well to explain
that the conductors on these Lincoln cars
just ride out a part of the way on a line
and then catch the next car back. Should
anvone happen to gst on the car after the
conductor leaves it, the passenger pays
the motorman. Each passenger pulls ths
bell rope when he wants the car to stop.

LIQUOR WORST DRAWBACK
Bootlegging Industry flourishes Unchecked
on Eeserration.
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS IMPROVING
Chan In Method Ha Pnt an End
to the Moat Flagrant Evil of
Thl Kind on Both Resero
rations.
PENDER. Neb., Aug. 4. (Speclal.)-Con-dttlona
on the Omaha and Winnebago
reservations are in many respects the best
they have been in.years. The worst draw
back at present to the prosperity and peace
of the Indians, and the white men, too,
for that matter, is the liquor business,
which flourishes in spite of every effort that
ha been mad up to date to eradicate It,
In fact, there never was a time when it
appeared so easy for the Indians to obtain
liquor as now. Arrest for furnishing
liquor to the Indian are frequent, fully a
much so a at any time in the past, but
in spit of this the Industry flourishes and
the day 1 rare when drunken Indians are
not to be seen on or about the reservation.
Homer appear to be the principal seat of
the bootlegging Industry, thought it 1 by
no mean impossible for the Indians to
secure liquor in other town surrounding
the reservation. During the race held at
Homer last week ther was more than
th usual amount of ' drinking and ths
attendant fight among the Indian. Th
present agency officials are doing what
they can to prevent It, but have accom
plished Ule.
The demorallxlng effect of thl trafflo is
incalculable and until It 1 stopped or at
least materially checked all efforts to im
prove the social and financial status of
the Indian are likely to prove abortive. At
all time th prey of designing white men
who live by fleecing the Indians' they are
doubly helpless when under the Influence
of liquor. In conjunction with the Depart
ment of Justice a determined effort is to
be made to break up the trafflo and when
it 1 done better result are hoped for
from the other plana for bettering the con
dition of these Indian.
Improvement Financially.
Under the present regulations of th de
partment and the methods of administer
ing them adopted by the present agency
official a better state of affair financially
I prevailing. The large lease holding are
being broken up and the new leases are
being made direct from the Indian to the
tenant and In time It I hoped to Induct
the Indian to farm their own lands in
a greater measure Instead of leasing them
at all. One thing 1 apparent, and that
Is that the back of the old leasing syndi
cate, which grew rich off the business,
Is thoroughly broken and two of its most
conspicuous members are preparing to
abandon the field and move away, hav
ing already formed business alliances else
where. Necessarily the change has made
It difficult to arrange tenants for all of
the land, that is men of responsible class,
but this is being remedied; in fact, it lias
not been so much of a task aa had been
anticipated. In this work Father Schell has
been of great service. He ha also been
largely Instrumental In. bringing in buyers
for the heirship lands which have been
Sold and the Indlanj have thereby realised
a better price for their lands than would
otherwise have been the case. It Is the
confident belief that within a few years
the entire reservation .will be settled with
a class of renters' who will be indus
trious, willing to pay a fair return for the
use of the lands and who will tay year
In and year out.
There haa also been'a great improvement
In the matter of th sale of heirship lands,
which are now bringing a fair price. In
many Instance the same bidders have
taken lands where the old bids were re
jected by the department, at a conslder-
abel advance over the original bids. Here
again Is apparent the benefit of the
changed conditions brought about by the
action of the department aa the result of
the exposure of the methods formerly
prevailing on the reservation.
It would be Idle to say that all the
wrongs have been righted. The task which
confronted the patent officials when they
took charge wa too large to be accom
plished In a day or a few months. In
fact, the time will never coma when the
Indians on these or any other reservation
will not be the victims of sharp practice,
but these things can and are being mini
mized. Populists a Little Shy.
CLAY CENTER, Neb., Aug. 4. (Special
Telegram.) The populist and democratic
county conventions of Clay county met here
today, occupying two separate halls, but

plished after considerable opposition on the

BISCUIT COMPANY
STRIKERS MUST SHOW CAUSE
Compelled Under Manger's Ruling to Ex
plain Violation of Injunction.
MOTION TO QUASH AFFIDAVIT DENIED
Federal Judge Hold Restraining;
Order Wa Violated, lint Say Of
fender Mast Re Specified
la Petition.
In tho United States circuit court yes
terday Judge Munger overruled the mo
tion of the attorneys for the South Omulia
packing house strikers to quash the affi
davit citing the strikers to show cause why
they should not be committed or punished
for contempt of tho order of Injunction
previously Issued by the court. He, how
ever, practically sustained the second mo
tion which called for a more specific men
tion of the Individuals cited and the acts
they were charged with committing In the
bill of complaint
The attorneys for the packers were per
mitted to file 'an amended affidavit by Sat
urday noon to cover the specific objections
made In the motion to quash by the attor
neys for the strikers. C. J. Smyth objected
to the ruling for permission to amend.
If the attorneys for the packers deter
mine to file an nmendel affidavit the hear
ing la set for Tuesday, August 9, but If
they elect to ablda by the original petition
citing to show cause the hearing Is set for
Thursday, August 11, nnd the nttorneys for
thj strikers are given until Tuesday, Au
gust 16, to answer.
This time was given Mr. Smyth, the prin
cipal attorney for the strikers, In order trat
he may discharge his duties as a member
of tho democratic national committee ap
pointed to notify Judge Parker of his nomi
nation for president.
Gist of Court's Decision.
In giving his decision Judge Munger said
in part:
'The rule to show cause is proper In a
federal court. The supreme court of the
United States five years ago Issued an ordor
to show cause for constructive contempt.
This gives the courts tho authority to pro
tect its own order. It may Issue an order
to show cause, but the parties must be
Informed.
"I do not think an affidavit for a petition
is essential. The court may issue en order
to show cause on Its own motion. Before

their
their
a lionrlng a party must bo notified of
what ho is charged with having done
practically the matter of which he I
charged must be stated and he given an
opportunity to defend himself. Upon th
question of the sufficiency of the affidavit,
the fact that there ha been no notifica
tion Is Immaterial. If the defendant had
any notice whntaver, through service, or
general Information through the press.
It Is sufficient and the order of injunction,
is effective from the time of It Issue. The
particular manner and method of notice
need not be set forth In the affidavit. We
are to determine whether the word de
fendants refers to the 170 cited in thl
particular cause or the whole body. I
hold that it refers to the entire body of
2,000 strikers.
"There Is no question but that there ha
lieen a violation of the order of injunc
tion. Tho word 'defendants' In this sens
means the 170. The conviction Is reached
that under the affidavit only the officer
and leaders or advisers of the 170 are
amenable, as the remainder of the 170
may have gone to their homes after th
injunction order was issued.
"Tho motion Is therefore overruled and
we shall limit the Investigation and In
quiry to such changes aa may show that
the officers of the strikers did or did not
direct that these things complained of
were done." .'
HELD TO THE DISTRICT COl'RT
Striker Waive 1'rellmlnary Hearing;
nnd Await Their Trial.
When the case against the South Omaha
strikers was caled in county court Lawyer
H. B. Fleharty, representing the defend
ants, sprung a surprise by waiving pre
liminary examination and having hi client
held to the district court,
Goneral Cowln and Thomas Creigh, at
torneys for the Cudahy Packing company,
were in court prepared to present the evl-
dence upon which they hoped to have th
men held on the charge of disturbing th
peace and violently interfering with In
tending strike breakers. A large number
of witnesses were In the court room and
the reporters had sharpened their pencils
In anticipation of noting some very Inter
esting testimony. v
"Are you ready to proceed?" asked Judg
Vlnsonhaler, and In response there was a
nod of assent from all the attorneys.
Then came the. surprise from Attorney
kFleharty who, without leaving his chair,
quietly said:
"We waive preliminary examination and
ask to have the defendants held to the
district court."
