t hnrges Aaralnst Defendants.
In his petition and allldavlt on which the

the fo'fowlng principal allegations:
That tho said defendants, by the owner
ship of the elevators above located and
described and by leason of their operation
by them at the markets and places named,
are doing and have dono an unnuul business
In dealing with the grains of N braska ag
gregating the purchase and sale of about
Iuu,io0,u00 bushels.
'that said defendants are now and for
the lartt three years have been Intention
ally, willfully and unlawfully combining,
conspiring and conniving together and wrtn
each other and with other sundry and
divers persons unknown to plaintiff for the
purpose of the pooling of prices to be paid
for all kinds of grain In Nebraska by each
and all of them, and for the purpose of
dividing between themselves and the other
deali-rs In gritin the aggregate or net pro
ceeds of the earnings of themselves, and
for the purpose of fixing the prices to be
Paid for all grains grown and dealt with
by purchase and sale In the said state of
Nebraska, and for the purpose of prevent
ing competition among dealers In gruln, and
for the purpose of restricting trade and
commerce In grain In said state, and for
the further purpose of destroying comiietl
tlon In their line of buslnena, towlt: dealing
In grain, so as to give them and each of
them a monopoly and control of all trade

them might enjoy unreasonable and un
conscionable profits arising from their said
grain business. That, In pursuance of tho
combination, pool and conspiracy above al

able to control and fix the prices of grain
generally throughout the state of Ne
braska and to restrict trade and commerce
In grains and to prevent and eliminate com

Unconscionable.
That aaid defendants, each and all of

bers It was agreed and understood that
no person or corporation was eligible to
membership thereof unless he or It was en
gaged In the buying, aelllng and shipping
of grains, and who owned one or more
elevators situated upon the right-of-way
of some railroad, and no person or corpora
tion was eligible who owned, controlled or
operated an elevator or "scoop shovel
bouse' off the right-of-way of some rail
road. Dealers In grain residing In the mar
ket centers of the country in other states
were by the rules of Said association ell-
flhle to membership. That all of the de
endants are members of the said Nebraska
Grain Dealers association and are known
to each other and designated as 'regular
grain dealers," and all other dealers In
grain not members of said association or
not under their control and dictation are
known to the members of said association
us "Irregular grain dealers."
Trnst lias Entire Control.
That there are and were for the last three
years in the state of Nebraska more than
l.aw grain elevators engaged In the han
ding, shipping, purchase and sale of grain
In me maiKcts of Bald state; that saiu ele
vators were and are controlled, by said Ne
braska Grain Dealers' association and sub
ject to its rules, bylaws, regulations and
penalties In the grain business, accepting,
adopting and agreeing to the prices fixed
for grain bought and sold by the ofllcers of
said association and doing business only
with such persons and with such elevators
as the officers of the said association should
name. That in the entire state of Ne
braska there are less than fifty Independent
elevators and grain- dealers operating In
the purchase and sale and shipment of
grain which are free and independent of
the rules and regulations, provisions and
penalties declared by the said Nebraska
Grain Dealers' association. That the said
defendants control at least 90 per cent of
the whole trade and commerce in grains In
ihn main of Nebraska. That the said de
fendants, each and all of them. In order
to restrain competition among themselves
as to the purchase of grains, have engaged
in said combination and conspiracy oper
ated by and through the said Nebraska
Uratn Dealers association and intenu to
continue said combination, and will compel
their respective members, agents and serv
ants at their several elevators to refrain
from bidding against each other, except
perfunctorily and without good faith, and
by this means compel the owners of grains
to sell at prices less than they would re
ceive if the bidding was really and In truth
competitive.
That said defendants, and each of them.
for the unlawful purposes aforesaid and to
monopolize the commerce In grains pro
tected by law and to restrict trade therein
and to destroy competition In the purchase
and sale thereof, are and have combined
voluntarily as the Nebraska Grain Dealers'
association and have, by and through the
officers thereof, arbitrarily, from time to
time raised, lowered and fixed the prices of
grains, nnd have undertaken and do un
dertake now to maintain uniform prices at
which they will buy the grains throughout
the state from those having grains to sell.
This unlawful purpose is and has been ac
complished by the said defendants by
means of secret meetings held bv the offi
cers of said Nebraska Grain Dealers' asso
ciation, where the prices of grains are
fixed, to be in force until changed at some
subsequent meeting. That the prices are
nereny maintained directly rv the de
fendants and by colluslvely restricting the
volume of trade therein, whenever con
ducive to such result, by Imposing and col
lecting penalties for the violation of the
rules fixed by the association and Its offi
cers, and by notifying one another of the
delinquencies of any of Its members, and by
keeping a blacklist of such delinquents, and
by refusing to deal with' them, the nrlce
of grain Is established and competition In
he trade and commerce thereof la entirely
destroyed.
Receiving- Rebates.
That said defendants, each and all
of them. Intending to monopolise said trade
and commerce in grains ana to prevent
competition therein, and to fix .the price
thereof and to divide the aggregate net
earnings or profits arising from the busi
ness, have each and all engaged In and
will continue agreements and arrangements
witn the several railroad companies doing
business In the said state of Nebraska
whereby the defendants receive, secretly
and contrary to law, by means of rebates
and Other devices, freight rates less than
those charged the. public, and thereby dis
criminate against' any Independent eleva
tor, person or corporation engaged In the'
grain business, which tends to destroy com
petition In the tfade and commerce of grain
and thereby n competitor la able to en
gage or continue In such commerce, which
fact results In giving the defendants a
monopoly of the trade and commerce In
grains In the state of Nebraska,
That said defendants. knowing said
Nebraska Grain Dealers association to bs
unlawful, 'ca'h and all of them intend to
continue and maintain their membership
therein and to sustain and carry on the
unlawful purposes thereof and enjoy the
unlawful proiits and advantages arising
therefrom, all In violation of law and to
the irreparable Injury of the public, and
thereby said defendants and each of them
intend to continue to arbitrarily nx the
prices of grain by the devices and in the
manner aforesaid, to restrict and restrain
trade aud cemmerce In grains, to stifle.
prevent and destroy competition in the
purchase and sale or grain, and to divide

organised and existing under and by virtue

President Roosevelt received several nota
ble men at Sagamore Hill today, among
them being Blr Mortimer Durand, the Brit
ish minister to Venesuela. Ambassador
Durand made this engagement with the
president to discuss with him a question
pending between the United States and
Great Britain.
Sir Mortimer, at the conclusion of his in
terview with the president, said that being
in New York from Ienox to meet his eon
who Is to arrive from England next Satur-
) day, he embraced the opportunity to see
the president about some pending matters
of not very great importance, but which
had to be looked after.
I wish you would make It clear," he
said, "that I did not come here to partici
pate In the peace negotiations. That Is no
affair of mine. There really was no news
In the matters the president and I dis
cussed." Ambassador Durand returned to New
York on the 4:20 p. m. Long Island rail
road train.
Accompanied by Minister Russell, Judge
Calhoun called to consider, his mission to

sell at tho conclusion of their visit, cared
to discuss the object of their mission to
the president.
Reception for All Peace Fnvoys
NEW YORK, Aug. 3. Acting for the
president. Third Assistant Secretary Pelrce
today communicated to Baron Rosen, the
Russian ambassador, and Mr. Takahlra,
the Japanese minister, the official program
for the formal presentation to the presi
dent of the Russian and Japanese plenipo
tentiaries to the Washington conference.
This program has for weeks been a sub
ject of much study on the part of the pres
ident and Mr. Pelrce.
As the president's representative, Mr.
Pelrce will accompany Baron Komura and
Mr. Takahlra and their suite to the pier
of the New York Yacht club, at East Twenty-Third
street, at 9 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, where the delegation will board the
protected cruiser Tacoma, Commander
Reginald F. Nicholson commanding, and
the vessel will start for Oyster Bay.
Half an hour later Mr. Pelrce will per
form a similar ceremony for Mr. Witte and
' Baron Rosen, the Russian plenipotentiaries
and their suite, will go aboard the protected
cruiser Chattanooga, Commander Alexan
der Sharp commanding.
Mr. Pelrce will then board the converted
yacht Sylph, which, steaming rapidly ahead.
will take position at the front of the col
utnn.
Arriving at Oyster Bay about noon, the
"peace squadron" will anchor, Its arrival
being loudly heralded by the firing of an
ambassador's salute of nineteen guns.
The Japanese plenipotentiaries will come
on board the Mayflower from the Tacoma
and be presented by Assistant Secretary
Pelrce.
Half an hour later the Russian envoys
will come aboard and be presented. Imme
diately the president will formally present
the Russian and Jupanese plenipotentiaries
to each other.
Luncheon on the Mayflower.
A buffet luncheon in the cabin of the
Mayflower will follow. At its conclusion
the Japanese mission will take leave of
the president and board the Dolphin. Mr.
Pelrce will go aboard the cruiser Galveston
and the president will then take leavo of
the Russian mission and go ashore, again
receiving a salute of twenty-one guns.
Under convoy of the cruiser Galveston,
Commander Cutler oommandlng, with Mr.
Pelrce aboard, the Russians on the May
flower and the Japanese on the Dolphin
will sail for Portsmouth. The squadron will
steam slowly, so as not to arrive there
before 10 o'clock Monday morning.
Desirous of being strictly neutral In all
the arrangements for the presentation, It
was decided at the outset by the Washing
ton government that the president would
recognize no precedence based on successes
In the present war. Because Baron Komura
was presented at Sagamore Hill almost a
week before M. Witte arrived In this
country. It was decided that for this rea
son Baron Komura must take precedence
over M. Witte. This, however, will be rec
ognised only in the half hour's difference
In the time of the presentation of the two
missions.
Witte Has an Active pay.
Mr. Witte had an active day today. He
has already seen more of New York than
most visitors see In a week. Accompanied
by Mr. Wllkenllne, Russia's financial agent
at Washington, Mr. Witte left his hotel
at 9 o'clock in an automobile on a ride
through Central park. Then he visited
Grant's tomb and the Stock exchange.
From there he went to the top of one of
the towering downtown buildings to get a
blrdseye view of the city. This quite en
chanted him.
Mr. Witte then went Into the subway and
took an express train uptown. Back down
into Houston street he went in the auto
mobile, through the Chinese, Jewish. Rus
sian and Italian quarters.
It was about 1 o'clock when Mr. Witte and
Mr. Wllkenllne went to an uptown cafe for
luncheon.
Russian Press on Pence.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 3.-8:45 p. m.
The press generally continues to avoid
trenching of the ground to be covered In
the peace negotiations, though the Bvlet,
which neither hopes nor wishes for peace,
predicts that the pourparlers will result
in nothing but empty and Idle talk.
The Moscow Oasette, an apostle of un
compromising reaction, declares that the
dispatch of M. Witte to the United States
Is a disgrace and holds that the only con
cession Russia can make Is to demand no
Indemnity from Japan and "no peace until
defeat and retribution have overtaken the
enemy."
The Boulevard sheet, the Geiatta. pre
dicts a general Europe n alliance, headed
by Russia, Germany and rTance, to pre
serve the peace of the world, to restrain
Japanese preponderance In the far east
and to prevent Great Britain meddling In
the affairs of the continent.

ROBF.L SEEKS' NEW LOCATION
International Christian Institute Will
Leave the Dellone Ho
tel. i t
The International 'Christian Institute,
which has been conducting the Dellone
hotel for the last year and a half, has ad
vertised the property for sale and will seek
another location in Omaha. Just what
piece of property the Institute expects to
buy Manager Robel, who Is In charge of the
Dellone, would not say, but he did say
positively that the Institute would continue
to conduct a hotel In Omaha.
Upon taking charge of the Dellone Man-,
ager Robel closed up the bar, discarded the
slot machines and began to conduct the
business along lines proposed by the Chris
tian institute. Improvements were made In
the hotel to the extent of about $10,000 and
only recently the kitchen was raised to the
first floor, upon which the dining room Is
located. .
Asked why he desired to sell the Dellone,
Manager Robel said:
"We desire to sell the Dellone In order to
further plans which we have in mind. From
a financial standpoint the Dellone has been
a paying Institution, since we began to
run It. but the trustees have decided, in
order to carry out their plans, to dispose
of the properly. Of course, we may have
lost some patronage by reason of closing
the bar, but we have gained much, and
we have had the support of good people
who agree with us In our manner of con
ducting the business. We are having a
splendid trade now and It will get better,
but we desire to sell the property merely
to carry out our plans.
"We shall remain In Omaha In the hotel
business and just as soon as we dispose of
the Dellone we will secure possession of
other property, but of course at thla time
I could not say Just what property we ex
pect to get. However, we are not offering
the Delluno for sale because It Is not a
financial success. Our patronage Is all we
could expect."

CHASE FLOATING GAMBLERS
Chicago Polios Attempt to Freyent Betting
on Races Ont in Lake.
ATTEMPT TO MAKE ARRESTS IS EVADED
Men Leave on Another Steamer and
Spectacular F.fTort to Capture
Them on Their Itrtnrn
Falls.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3 Gamblers Intent upon
playing the races, and policemen determined
to prevent all race track betting bn the
high sess. furnished today on Lake Michi
gan a unique and' spectacular gambling
raid. The police and gamblers raced around
the lake, first Into Michigan waters, then
close to the shores of Illinois, and then Into
the Jurisdiction of Indiana, the on seeking
escape and the police determined to cap
ture them at all hazards. The net results
of the day for the police were the capture
of fourteen weary marine gamblers who
floated ashore at South Chicago In a launch.
All of the others after a hot chase by the
police in a lumbering fire tug escaped to
Indiana Harbcr, Ind., and made their way
ashore outside of the jurisdiction of the
Chicago police.
Chief of Police Collins announced two
days ago that he would no longer permit
the operation of the floating pool room
City of Traverse. He asserted that he
would arrest all the gnmblers when they
attempted to board It, claiming that they
were about to commit an Illegal act which
brought them within police Jurisdiction.
Gamblers Win First Move.
The gamblers circumvented the chief of
police at the outset by causing the steamer
City of Traverse to be run out Into the
lake Into the wnters of the state of Indi
ana, where it lay all through the morning.
Large details of police were placed on the
shore guarding the approaches to all of the
docks from which the gamblers might mane
their way to the lake. It was the expecta
tion of the authorities that the betting fra
ternity would leave Chicago on the City
of Traverse, but Instead of this a small
excursion steamer nnmed the Eagle had
been chartered and the gamblers, walking
past the police, embark1 and started for
the City of Traverse, which was rolling
around In mi-lake. The police were power
less to Intercept any of the "excursion
ists," as they called themselves, and with
deep chagrin watched them sail away to
place their money on the races.
The announced program of the managers
of the floating pool room was thnt all pas
sengers would be landed at the foot of
Ninety-Second street In South Chicago,
where the Calumet river empties Into Lake
Michigan. Chief Collins, balked In his at
tempt to prevent the sailing of the gamb
lers on the Eagle, transferred his forces to
Ninety-Second street and posted them
along the shore in such a manner that it
would have been practically Impossible
for any titan from the. City of Traverse or
the Eagle to set foot on shore and escape
arrest.
Speculators Caught In Trap.
Late In the day the Eagle steamed Into
the harbor at South Chicago, loaded with
200 men who were anxious to reach the
shore. As soon as the boat was well in
side of the first bridge it was swung be
hind It. With escape to the lake cut off
by the bridge and no possible chance of a
safe landing on shore, the case of the
gamblers for a time looked desperate. The
Eagle circled around and around In the
harbor, tooting its whistle In frantic fash
ion for the bridge tender to turn the bridge
and allow it to steam back Into the lake.
The police stood on the shore and laughed,
feeling confident that It was only a ques
tion 'of time before the passengers of the
Eagle would be In their power. A small.
Insignificant mud scow happened along at
this critical moment, however, and blew Its
whistle as a signal for the bridge to open.
The bridge tender was compelled to swing
the bridge and the Eagle, planting its bow
squarely In the stern of the mud scow,
crowded It closely as It passed through
the bridge and then made a run for the
open lake and freedom.
As soon as the police discovered the ap
proach of the mud scow and realized that
the bridge must open, they made a rush for
the fire tug Yosemlte, and by the time the
Eagle was entering the waters of the lake
the tug was tearing after It, loaded down
with policemen.
The Eagle, however, steadily drew away
from the tug, and after a run of ten miles
the police gave up tha chase. The Eagle
landed at Indiana Harbor, its passengers
returning tQ Chicago by train.
Gamblers Did Xot Gamble.
Before the arrival of the Eagle at South
Chicago a small launch named the Panther
came In, bearing a number of gamblers
from the City of Traverse and several
fishermen. All the passengers of the Pan
ther were lined up on the pier and com
pelled to-stand In a heavy rain while the
police weeded out the fishermen from the
"excursionists."
Fourteen men who could not prove that
they had been fishing were loaded Into the
patrol wagon and carried, to the police sta
tion. The gamblers who returned to Chicago
this evening declared that, even though the
police had arrested all the passengers of the
Eagle, they would have found It Impossible
to prove a case against them, as the wire
less apparatus refused to work throughout
the day, and not a message was received
and not a bet was made.

about the hotel. In the halls and even at
Mr. Bchulze's door, and every candidate
was urged not to accept employment. Their
efforts, however, were entirely peaceable.
Tonight Mr. Schulze said that he had se
cured twenty-eight operators. This the
union men deny, saying that they have dis
suaded from their purpose a large propor
tion of this number. The men engaged were
told to report in New York on Sunday pre

Some Rrtarn to Work.
MINOT, N. D., Aug. . During the last
eighteen hours there has been a big Im
provement In the telegraphers' strike situ
ation on the Mlnot division of the Great
Northern railroad. Twelve operators have
returned to work. About 48 per cent of the
stations between Wllllston and Grand
Forks are in working order. All branch
lines on this division are running as usual.
Train No. 6 from the west was one hour
late and No. 3 from the west was forty-five
minutes late. Assisstant Superintendent
Davis Is much elated over results and says
more operators will return to work today.
There are about seventy strikers on the
Mlnot division. They are orderly and have
done no damage to railway property.
Smelter Men Intimidate Operators.
BUTTE. Mont.. Aug. 3 Ralph E. Spur
rier, a telegrapher and formerly a member
of the Mill and Bmeltermen's union of
Butte, refused to join the striking opeiators
on the Northern Pacific road and tonight
several hundred smeltermen held a meet
ing, marched In a body to the depot and
compelled Spurrier to quit work under pain
of being "escorted from town," an expres
sion significant In Butte circles. Other
operators were looked for, but none were
found.
dispatch from Cleocj tonight, a point
on the Great Northern about fifty miles I
north of Butte, says that the miners there
drove the operator from the only boarding
house In the town because he refused to
stay with his comrades on strike. The man
had to be fed by the division superintendent
on the tatter's car.
At Basin, forty miles north of Butte, on
the Qrest Northern, the Helnse miners and !
mill men requested a "scabbing" operator
to cease work. The telegrapher armed him-
self with a rifle and defied the miners, to !
the number of about sixty, who gathered ;
with a long rope with a noose In the end, !
when the man weakened and several hours
later left the camp. i
Strike Impairs Service. J
Despite reports emanating from the gen
ernl headquarters offices In Bt. Paul of the !
Northern Pacific nnd Great Northern rail- j
roads that the operators' strike, on those
lines Is not seriously affecting the trai.s- '
mission of telegrams, orders have been sent I
out from the general offices of the Western I
Union to the offices all over the country to !
accept messages to points on these roads
subject to delay, except where the Western I
Union has Its own exclusive offices.

BILLS ON THE OLD RATE
That Is the Way the Water Company
Is Making; Out Its Ac
counts. The Omaha Water company has an
nounced its policy regarding the order
Issued by the Water board May 1, propos
ing to reduce meter rates to small con
sumers. Although Its request for a tem
porary Injunction against the operation of
the order has been refused by the federal
court, the company considers the question
still In litigation and until final adjudica
tion, declines to act under the order. Its
bills are made out at the old rates and pay
ments under the new ra-.rs are received
under protest and In such a manner as to
permit future collections of the amount
withheld in casa' the company eventually
wins. The company expects, however, to
collect bills at the old rates, with the under
standing that should It lose the case the
excesses will be refunded. Following are
the new rates ordered by the Water board,
amounting to about 10 cents per 1,000 gaU

COLLECTION OF ESTAIE TAX
Process Will Eo Slow and IdtoIts Many
Suits, Bays County Attorney.
EFFLCT OF THE LAW EXPLAINED
Several Estates Added to the List
Subject to the Inheritance Tax
Vlnaonhnler's Ontce
Force Busy,
"The collection of the Inheritance tag
on estates passing In this county will re
quire a great many suits, but we are get
ting at it as fast as we can," says County
Attorney Slabaugh. "The Nebsaska Inher
itance tax law Is almost an exact duplicate
of the Illinois law, which has been tested
and taken up to the supreme court and
upheld In every rsepeet. I do not believe
people unileisiand what, the effect of tho
law Is. The tax Is Imposed on every es
tate In excess of 110,000,. '.varying hi
amounts according to the closeness or re
moteness of the heirship, but the tax Is a
lien on all the property and every piece
of such property that has been sold or
transferred since July, HKil. Is subject, to
the lien of any unpaid Inheritance tux.
This applies not only to estates that have
gone through probate, but also to others,
like the Noyes estate, for which no ad
ministrator was appointed. If people hud
known that the Inheritance tax was a Hen
upon Uie property, I believe it, would have
been paid on all these estates long ugo."
t.olng Over the Papers,
Clyde Sumiblad ut the - county judge s
office is putting Irl a 'good deal of time
In going over the puprrs In estates that
have passed through probate since liwl or
are still In course of settlement which
would be liable for assessment under tn
state Inheritance tax law. I'p to date he
has found fourteen In addition to the list
of eighteen estates for, which the county
attorney has already - asked for (he ap
pointment of appraisers. ' '
The estates not yet fully settled which
will be added to the list are those of James
Crelghton, Roxena Kendall, Anna C. Mil
lard, Ellen M. White, Jans Morion and
David M. Owen. The estates which have
been settled which would come wUlitn tha
provisions ot- the law are those of Edward
W. Eartlett, Benjamin Bates, Levi Carter,
John J. Dickey, Dell H. Goodrich, Alfred
D. Jones, E. B. Chandler, Anna M. Good
rich. Mr. Sunblad says there are soms
others which he has not- yet had a chance
to investigate, but he believes the list
when completed will be quite large. The
attorneys or heirs of these estates will be
called into the conference which Is to bo
held at an early date by the county judge
and county attorney. .
