JUNKIN BILL IS NOT LIKED
Omaha Business Men Denounce the Anti
Trust Measure Unmeasutedly.
DOUGLAS COUNTY MEMBERS INSTRUCTED

CuRimtrce So Draatlo aa to 12 x.
cite the It moat Opposition
Seventy-seven representatives of Omaha
commerce, together with all but on or two
of Douglas county's representatives at Lin
coln, rr.et this afternoon at the Commercial
club to say how mean and undesirable the
doubla slUft fire provision and the regula
tion of commerce proposed by Mr. Junkin
of Gosper arc. The latter bill was given
the most attenUap and viewed with mixed
amusement and wrath. After II. 11.
BalJrldga had read the bill and commented
on It, V. 3. Broatch 'moved the Douglas
county delegation be requested to do every
thing possible to prevent Its passage.
"You should give your delegation credit
or some common sense," said Senator
Saunders. "I can't sea how any one of us
could support such a measure or how It
could pass either house. It will give a
chance for a little grandstand talk In the
committee of the whole, and then It will go
over the transom. A bill so broad and
loosely worded as that Is not In the inter
est of Omaha or of good government"
II. II. Baldrige furnished foot notes as he
read the document. "It Is a very common
thing,'', he began, "for' a very dangerous
measure to be Introduced and sometimes to
become a1 law under a very Innocent head
ing. If this bllV carried out Its title, I
think It would be a very good thing. Some
of Its provisions, however.' would prac
tically drive out of business every corpora
tion iiqjy in the state. '
Some Speclfle Provisions.
. "I think , no ene would seriously object
to the sections dealing with the prevention
of trusts, but In section 4 the bill goes
on to hold peruonally.responslble for liabili
ties the olheers of every corporation. They
ere not now so. This, .you note, applies,
not to corpuaatlons which are trying to
restrict trade, but to every incorporated
house. Personally I have always felt
public franchised corporations which ask
the publlo to buy stock should make such
statements as are required by the pro
posed law. '
law so that the publlo could know what
It Is buying, but this bill will require the
same statements from private corporations
which do not try to sell their stock. The
Mil also requires tbe tiling of bonds by
every officer, director and manager of a
corporation that he will carry out the
provisions of the lew. It puts the" entire
control of every private business In the
bands of the attorney general. He can
come Into your offices and require a report
of every trsnsaetion and contrsct you have
m&dii. It tries to make a uniform price
on every piece of merchandise sold ' In
the stats. ' I think we all agree to the
provisions regulating the granting of re
bate by railways and published state
ments by public corporations, but the
present bill would so harrano any private
corporations as to drive It out of business.
The bill Is ridiculous and moreover uncon
stitutional." Several prominent men also spoke dis
paragingly of the effort of Mr. Junkla and
the general opinion seemed to be that
they didn't think much of it.
Oppose Doable Shift.
"The double shift Are force bill which has
passed the Senate came up for considera
tion on the plea that it is not understood
by the Omaha business men. Commissioner
McTann said ho 'considered the bill had
passed the senate largely because of a peti
tion signed under a misapprehension by
Omaha' taxpayers. The proposed change
would make a very heavy addition to the
tax burden of the cltlsens. After a discus
sion by various business men the meeting,
went on record as ugaiust the double shift.
House roll 110, introduced by Junkin of
Gosper, provides fines of $5,000 or a year's
imprisonment for any Infringement of Its
provisions. Among these Is any attempt
to monopolize, combine or conspire to limit
or In any way restrain trade and traffic.
No corporation or organization of any
kind shall enter Into any conspiracy to
drive out of business any person or com
pany, nor shall it be allowable under this
bill for any corporation to sell or trans
port anything under the published tariff
for the purpose of driving out of business
any person or firm. Also, no contract can
be entered Into with the person getting
goods that they shall not be resold to any
other person. It shall also be a misde
meanor, punishable with a $5,000 flae, for
any corporation to carry merchandise or
other freight st a special rate or. to give
any rebate or do anything else of the kind.
Also, it shall be a misdemeanor to solicit
such a thins.
Touching; Corporations. '
The bill also contemplates the furnishing
of Information which would not be at all
pleasing to various corporations. They are
by It required to Ale a statement of the
amount of capital stock and of its market
value; also the amount paid in in cash, end
if it is not paid up, what equivalent has
been received. The amount paid in divi
dends must be stated in regular reports,
with the percentage of dividends. Another
statement. Is required of the amount of
stock owned in other corporations and tbe
amount others own In the affiant company.
The attorney general may call at any tint
for a statement covering any transactions
during the twelve months which were un.
der contract at less than the regular rste,
also the reasons for such contract. The
officers 4re made liable for any Infringe
ment of the law. No company which is
controlled by sn out-of-state corporation,
which does not do business according to
the requirement of the bill, will be allowed
to continue in the state. Any corporation
which has been sdjudged to have been
guilty of an Infringement of the luw twice
will not be aJloVed to continue business.
In case this would cause an Inconvenience
to the public, arrangements can be made
for the gradual or partial enforcemeut of
this clause.

ON A HURRY TRIP TO JAPAN
Eleanor Franklin, Well Known Kerns,
paper Correspondent, Spends Be
twees Trains in Omaha.
Miss Eleanor Franklin, the clever news
paper woman who has been connected with
Leslie's Weekly for a number of years, and
has mora .recently made quite a hit with
her letters from Japan, spent part of yes
terday here. She has come back to the
United States to secure some desired cre
dentials to enable her to get Inside Infor
mation In connection with several subjects
she Is Investigating, and is hurrying to
catch the steamer that la to take her back
to Japan. She went over to Council Bluffs
for a UU'e while to look up some personal
friends residing there. Soma of her letters
rosy appear later in The Bee.
Among the many' Innovations being
urged upon tho public schools today prob
ably none Is meeting with the approval
of teachers more generally thau the un
graded school; certainly none has been
prolific of mors evident beneficial results.
While this system la by no means new,
having been In operation In many of the
larger cities for several years, it Is only
within the last eighteen months that It
has been Instituted in Omaha and its good
effects have already proven so evident that
tbe wonder is that it was not established
long ago. It is a system whereby the
child whom nature or environment has
rendered defective is separated from tbe
others and tho most made of his ability,
regardless of the' time entailed, without
working an injustice to other pupils.
- In every school one of tho most vexing
problems is the child who, through some
one of many causes, has fallen below
grade and back into the classes with chil
dren much younger and smaller than him
self, where, through discouragement and
humiliation, he becomes Indifferent and so
a menace to the discipline and the work
of the room. Theaa children ore the can
didates for tho attention of the truant
officer, the Juvenile court and all the evil
conditions thut result from a child's being
removed from tbe Influences and discipline
of the school while he Is still under age.
As such pupils are found in all grades,
though chiefly in the first four, It has been
impoxslble to eliminate them from the
school room proper, because there has been
no substitution provided and, being the
children of taxpayers, they are privileged
to remain in whatever class they are able
to work, regardless of their ill offocts upon
the other pupils. The ungraded school has
furnished the remedy for this condition
by concentrating tho troublesome element
whore they can be worked with according
to Individual need, regardless of the time
entailed.
access at Cass School.
A year ago last fall Miss Mary Simonds,
principal of Cass school, prevailed upon
the school authorities to allow her to Set
aside one room where such pupils might
receive the attention of a special teacher.
About twcn(y pupils were entered and the
plan worked so admirably that before
long most of the ociglnal members had
been strengthened so that they might work
with the grades where tltcy belonged, and
the older ones given a foundation 'ltj the
essentials before they were old enough to
quit school and go to work. No stigma
was, attached to tbe room it was called
the "work" room and Its most significant
feature to the pupils was that it enabled
theia to "skip" a clusa or even a grsde.
The results were surprising and so satlsi
factory that this fall Pacific school wns
granted a like privilege.' While the average
school of the city has from six to a dozen
"deficiencies," the necessity of an un
graded room varies with tho district from
which it draws. Its pupils. In districts
where thero . Is a large foreign or poor
population, conditions are seriously com
plicated, for In addition to the number of
mental or physical defectives that come in
largest numbers among the poor emi
grants, thero aro the many normal chil
dren who have to bo taught to speak tho
English languagd In addition to being kept
up to the grade where they beloug. .
Polyglot Pacific. , .
Of all the schools of .the city. Pacific
school works under tho greatest disadvan
tage in this respect, there frequently l?elng
as many as ten different nationalities In
one room at one time, while the number
has been as high as fourteen and sixteen
at a time. In tho Interest of these chil
dren two separate rooms are . maintained
under two teachers, who are especially
qualified by nature and experience to deal
with them. There are at present fifty
nine children in this ungraded school doing
the work of the first, . second, third and
fourth grades, and they range in age from
S to 15 years.
The plau of determining what pupils
shall be put into these rooms is simple
and entirely Just. A record is kept' of the
strong and the weak points of every child
in every room and a conscientious effort
Is made by teachers and principal to ascer
tain why a child is deficient in any branch
and the cause, of the deficiency is regis
tered, with the record. When it becomes
impossible for a child to work longer with
his class, he is put Into these rooms, where
ho makes up the work In which he is be
hind, ' returning to his former room to
recite with the classes In the subjects In
which he Is up to grade. By this plary
he is kept back In nothing and his best
efforts kept at his weak subjects, and so
many a temporarily troublesome child is
saved from discouragement and before long
returned to work where he belongs, while
the older ones who are only being kept In
school by the compulsory educational law
are drilled In reading, writing, spelling
and arithmetic, and given -a fair founda.
tlon in these essentials before they cun
drop out for good.
Problems for the Teachers.
Asidttfrom the young . foreigners who
have to be taught to speak our language
and tho children who are but temporary
members of this department, there are pu
pils who represent a variety of conditions
snd cuuees that call for the exercise of all
the tact. Judgment and flnnneaj, patience,
determination and brood human sympathy
of the few who ure qualified to fill tho posi
tion of their teachers. 'School ma'uins can
be hired by the month, but real teachers
the school room door nor at the close of
tho school hours. These are the sort of
teachers who alone can make a success of
the ungruded school. It is estimated that
the normal child should be ready to
tnter the first grado at CH years at the
latest, this allowing a year and a half for
the kindergarten work, but lit this school
even with strong. glasses she is. unable to
keep up. There are several such cases and
among them la one most pitiful. A boy of
9 years, working In first A, was found to be
nearly blind. Glosses were provided for
him through tho teachers, but it Is neces
sary to keep tho glasses at the school, be
cause when allowed to take them home his
parents sent him out to beg with their other
children and kept him out of school. This
family ia large and until the compulsory
educational law enabled the truant officer
to bring its children Into arhool, none of
them attended, the older children, three of
whom are nearly grown, being unable to
read or write, and those In school below
grade. There are nearly a dozPB families,
all of thero large, whereMrregular attend
ance has kept all the children below grade,,
and the shlftlessncss and Improvidence of
the parents makes the children notlceablo
among the othor for their neglected appear
ance. Among these children Is a girl of 12 work
ing ln.jthe first grade because she has been
kept out of school, and for no better reason,
so for as can be ascertained, than imaglnod
spite on the part of her mother because she
has beeaao often reproved by principal and
truant officer for keeping her children out
of school unnecessarily. .
Manual Training; for These.
It is notlcably the case among those who
have not the mentality to advance above
the first few gTades that they usually do
well in the work with the hands, such as
writing and drawing. For these children
the manual training school promises the
only salvation. Even tbe ungraded school
can do but little for them, and when they
have put In the time required by law they
must drift helplessly and unequipped Into
whatever they run And to do. But this year
has seen the installation of Omaha's first
manual training school In the gruded, and
Pacific ochool will doubtless bo the next to
be supplied with tb's much needed depart,

NINE HUNDRED CARS AWAIT THE HAULING

peeled to Be Steady
for Some Time.
Nine hundred cars of grain In tho Omaha
railroad yards tend to show that corn is
still moving through tho Omaha gateway
In large quantities That is approximately
tho amount of export grain thut Is now
walling to be hauled to the Uulf of Mexico.
It has been announced thut the grain rates
will remain undisturbed until February 20,
and this fact has encouraged grain dealers
to ship, On the date named tho old rates
are to be restored. It Is understood that
rates wlii bo put back Just whore they
were before the . fight began.
' It the foregoing arrangements are carried
out as planned It will mean a victory for
the gulf lines. The entire fight has been
on the question of the differentials which,
the southern lines have had, and which,
It was believed, gave them an advantage
over the eastern roads. It was to cut
down this differential that tbe eastern lines
cut down their rates, a movement which In
turn was followed by a corresponding cut
on the part of the gulf carrying lines.
