profeas to fear that peace would strengthen
the government and give a setback to re

Likens Attitude of Railroads Before

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. June ll.-(Speclal.)
Friends of the administration declare that.
In spite of the apparent apathy of the sen
ate committee toward railroad legislation,
a bill embodying the president's policy will
be introduced at the opening of the next
session and that the president Is assured
of legislation In the line of his suggestion.
The question of the reasonableness of
the rates on cattle from the . western
ranches to the stock yards has occupied
the attention of the Interstate Commerce
commission for some weeka past and
thousands of pages of testimony have been
recorded. There la no more important ques
tion pending before the commission or be
fore congress than thia one of the rate on
live cattle.
The cattle growers who are the com
plainants against the railroads have been
represented here for the past month or
more by Mr. 8. H. Cowan of Fort Worth,
Tex., general counsel for the American
Stock Growers' association. Before leav
ing for the west today Mr. Cowan said on
the aubject of cattle rates:
"It is not only the fact of advances here
tofore made In western rates which com
mands our attention, but the fact that
traffic managers persist In the claim under
oath that every rate challenged Is too low,
coupled with the declared Intention of rais
ing them when circumstances will permit.
Previous advances are but a manifestation
of the system adopted to do what they
claim Is their right. If rates are too low
they ought to be raised, but we say it
must be subject to Impartial governmental
supervision. The people have the right to
go further and absolutely fix all rates and
control the operation of the railroads; they
are not demanding that right, but If they
are defeated In obtaining a fair measure
at the next congress, and there cornea a
national campaign In which the Issue is
put before the people a much stronger and
far more comprehensive law will be passed
as a result than Is now demanded."
Seek to Find War Oat.
Speaking of the senate committee's In
vestigation recently concluded, Mr. Cowan
said: i
"No one can read the reports of it with
out being impressed with the facts that
the principal effort of a very respectable
part of the committee was to ascertain
some plauilble way out of responding to
the demands of the administration and
public opinion by doing nothing; probably
to dish out a milk and water pArrldge" to
a hungry public. Others seemed quite In
earnest. In this puzzle picture the reader
will please pick out the supporters of the
administration and name them. The rail
roads were plainly making herculean ' ef
forts to furnish grounds for nonaction, or
at least to so modify what might result
as to leave It harmless. To this end they
had very numerous councils presidents
and vice presidents, traffic managers and
other representatives of railways, foreign
railway representatives, college professors
and many shippers, the recipients of favors
and preferences, ever present in the com
mittee room to advise the senate com.
mlttee what to do; indeed, the questions
to ak. The strangest part of it is that
the senate committee, on making most
diligent inquiry of them about It, were not
able to discover from these gentlemen that
there was any popular demand for such
legislation as to Justify the president's po
sition. Furthermore, they all, with marked
unanimity, concurred in advising the sen
ate committee that there was very little
which needed correction, and assured the
committee that they would attend to It
themselves, and that It was impassible
that the railroads could maintain rates
that are too high because only the rail
roads could Judge properly of that. It
must, they said, be left to traffic men, who
had already passed Judgment upon it, and
that Judgment was that no rates were
too high. In plnylng the game on this
theory of 'heads I win tails you lose,' they
have overplayed it by demonstrating that

Assessment Board TanKled.
Tomorrow the State Board of Assess
ment will come to a showdown In the mat
ter of the assessment of the Union Pacific.
Unless all signs fail, Just at this time the
board Itself does not know what will be
the result. It hoa been freely predicted
that the three new members, Searlo,
Galusha and Eaton, will stand together
against an increase In the assessment,
while the old members of the board. Gov
ernor Mickey and . Treasurer Mortensen,
will vote for'an Increase.' This '"supposed
line-up of the, board, however, la by no
means' assured, and the Union Pacific may
get a small Boost, inasmuch as the Burling
ton will be decreased.
. The old members of the board seem to
be of the opinion that the Burlington last
year was assessed higher in proportion to
Its value than was the Union Pacific, and
for that reason they desire a material in
crease in the Union Pacific or a small in
crease in that line and a decrease In the
Burlington. The board will reach a final
vote tomorrow in all probability.
Reports from a number of counties re
ceived by the board members Indicate that
the assessment is being materially In
creased over last year.

"The majority of the aenate committee
and the railroads want the matter so far

because they know that the oourts cannot
satisfactorily to the public fix any rates.
The supreme court says a commission can
do this better than a court, and there la no

set the dog on the colt and was therefore
responsible for the animal's death. A

THEOSOPHISTS STILL QUARREL
This Week the Western Branch Pays
Its Respect to the East
Indian.
LONDON, June 11. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) London theosophlsts are watt fl
ing with keen Interest the attacks which
are being made upon their leader, Mrs.
Annie Besant, by a party of Hindu think
ers, led by "Tiger 'Mahatma" Agamya Guru
Paramahanza, who "Visited England last
year. . v
Mrs. Besant has established herself In
Benares, the religious center of the Hindus,
and has announced that the religion re
vealed to her by her predecessor, Mme.
Blavatsky, preceded the Veddas, or sacred
writings of the Hindus.
Mrs. B. Ward, the manager of the Theo
sophlcal Publishing society In London, In
speaking of the matter this week said that
the actions of Mrs. Besant were oompletely
misunderstood in thla country.
"Thla Swaml Agamya," said Mrs. Ward,
"gave himself out to be the 'pop of the
Mahatmas' when he visited England and
made a great stir with his trick of tem
porarily stopping the beating of th heart.
I may say that hundreds of Indian faklra
can do the same thing.
"Apart from tale trick Agamya has no
position or Influence. I have Inquired Into
the matter and from Benares have obtained
the Information that he la at the head of a
very small body of people.
"He came in the winter to the opposite
side of the river and rowed that he would
not enter the city until the Central Hindu
college of the Theosophlcal society and Mrs.
Besant were swept out, of It.
"About a dozen meetings were arranged
by his dUclples. The first was attended by
a sprinkling of educated people, hut the
others, which grew rowdier and rowdier,
until the police Interfered, were packed
with illiterate people. Finally the swaml
was denounced by one of his own people as
a fraud.
"Mrs. Besant never boasted of the pos
session of occult powers. Theosophlsts
whose brains are so developed that they
possess the gift of clairvoyance never boast
of it. That Mrs. Besant has this gift I
have no doubt, and there are several other
Theosophlsts equally gifted, but we never
speak of it."

BOY DROWNS IN POST CREEK
Charles McClelland Loses Hla Llf
While Swimming; Sunday
Afternoon.
While bathing in Post creek, about on
and a half miles southwest of Benson,
Sunday, afternoon at K o'clock, Charles Mc
Clelland, a 16-year-old boy, living with hla
parent at 1232 Evans street. Benson.
stepped Into a hole and before assistance
coum do given film by his companions he
was drowned.
The story as told by the companions of
young McClelland was that the party, con
sisting of three boys, went to the creek
early In the afternoon and had been bath
ing for about two hours. All of the boys in
me party could swim except the McClel
land boy, and in his efforts to s-n Into thA
deep water with his companions he lost his
tooting in a hole in the creek, floated out
into the middle of the water and sank and
was never seen alive aeain. It was nhnnt i
o'clock when the drowning occurred and at
4:46 the body was recovered by Merrltt
Wiseman, wno dived into about ten feet of
water where the body was found.
Charles McClelland has been emnlnveH hv
the M. E. Smith Dry Goods corona nv tnr
some months past, and Is the son of Frank
Mcuienand, a letter carrier employed In
the Omaha postofflce.
The story of the drownlns- rami as a
great shock to tho family of the boy, and
the father, upon being Informed that hla
boy had been drowned, benred that a nhv-
slclan be called to see if there was any pos
sibility of resuscitating him when the body
was found. To satisfy the father Dr.
Loechlner was called, but all efforts to re
Vive him were In vain.
The property on which the wafer i .
uated where the boy was drowned Is owned
Dy h. m. fost, a dairyman living about a
mile southwest of Benson. Mr. .Post has
been trying to dam the creek arfd ihnnn
the course of the stream, and for this rea
son the water has been unusually deep at
this point where the boys were bathing.
The companions of McClelland tr.hr.
Martlck. August Hanson and Will Castle,
all living In Benson. Coroner Bralley took
charge of the body,, but It Is likely that an
Inquest will not be held.
AT THE PLAY HOUSES
Th Ferris Stock Company at th
Boyd.
Laat night tha Ferris Stock company
began lta fifth week at the Hoyd thenter.
offering "In North Carolina," a flue old
society drama, In which all the various
chords of human nature uro skillfully
touched upon. Several character studies
ar well presented, and the ideas of the
author are very nearly carried out by Ihe
actora. Mr. Barton for the first time as
sumes the leading role, that of Pavo
Hardy, a rough but not uncouth man of
the mountains, whose nature Is sweet and
tender and his mind and heart are pure.
He qualifies the ' character with his own
excellent taste, and gives it a convincing
vitality. Harry McKee does better thnn
anything he has had yet the pathetic role
of Father togers, the mild mannered,
lovingly gentle old man, who knows noth
ing of the world and its ways, but does
know that both he and his daughter are
suffering in the atmosphere into which
"mother's" ambition has forced them. Miss
Carmontelle Is, as usual, very good In the
role of Mrs. Rogers, the worldly-ambitious
woman who longs for something better
than a humdrum life on a mountain farm
and who thinks she has found her mis
sion in marrying her daughter to a mar
quis. It Is as Esmeralda that Miss Pavey
findi herself this week, a charming moun
tain maiden, shy and awkward In a calico
gown and sunbonnet. then a fair but un
happy girl In the fashionable life of Paris.
She plays the role In a delightful way.
Miss Rose Curry Is good as Nora Desmond.
The piece Is well staged and was very
well received by a large audience last
night. It will be the bill until after
Wednesday,
Dick Ferris and Miss Florence Stone
came in from San Francisco yesterday
afternoon. Mr. Ferris will be Been in tho
cast of "My Jim" during the latter half
of the week.
The Caldwell Stock Company at the
Km.
Last night at the Krug the Caldwell
Stock company put on the ever reliable
"East Lynne." This never-falling source
of quiet and cosy weeps has lost none of
Its potency through the passage of years,
but is still as certain to touch the inner
most depths of the heart as anything that
was ever written. Miss Ethel Fuller Is
cast as Lady Isabel and Madame Vine,
and brings to the role the same careful,
artistic and satisfying efforts that have
marked all her work since she has been
in Omaha. She is especially effective In
the great scenes of the last act, when the
play reaches Its touching denouement, and
the Identity of the pseudo Madame Vina la
disclosed. Mr. Merrill Is fairly good In
the somewhat exacting role of Archibald
Carlyle, and Mr. Hill plays Sir Francis
Levlson with understanding. Pauline Eck
hart Is a good Barbara Hare, and the rest
of the cast Is capable. The piece was wen
received last night, and will DO me uiu
till after Wednesday night.

LONDON, June 11. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee) Sir Thomas Barclay, formerly

with the Anglo-French agreement is well

international brotherhood, which Is to be

hood. Sir Thomas explains In an Inter-
View, is to establish an association of clti
aens of such strength that when an inter
national conflict is threatened they can
bring enormous pressure to bear on their
several governments.
"It must not be supposed," said Sir
Thomas, "that the F I. O. is to be a
sentimental society. It will be militant
and absolutely nonpolltlcal. We htm
already enrolled 90,000 members in France

affairs of the brotherhood will be man

number of other officials and a committee,
all elected for five years.
"They will appoint local committees In
