HUMBOLDT, Neb.,' April 3 (Special.) Considerable attention is being paid, in this' part of tfca district ' to tho reyort tUt 4u certain quarters a sj;tcmatic effoyt la be ing made to stir up opposition to Congress man' Pollard "and prevent his securing- a 're nomination at the hands of the republicans this fall. O. A. Cooper of this city, who is congressional committeeman from this county and a politician of long standing, has been studying the situation carefully and expreases the belief that Mr. Tollard will win out in .spite of all opposition, which he considers is not widespread t all. When asked what ho -thought about the conditions In Lancaster county, where the most stir Is bqlng made, Mr. Cooper said: "Incaster County should be set off in a dlatrlct by heriwlf, then she could always have a representative In congress from Lincoln, one who would have nothing to do but look after their Individual Interests, appropriations, etc. They are making the fight of their Uvea against Pollard be cause he is representing the whole district and not putting in his whole time work ing for the Interests of Lincoln and cater ing to the dictation of a few railroad poli ticians at Lincoln. "The coming congressional convention will determine whether Lancaster county shall continue dictating to ull cne rest of the district In the future the same as she has .n the post. But this time they will have a harder fight than" they ever' went up against before, for the farmers realize that they have a truo friend In ou congress man. Mr. Pollard,' who in looking after their interests as thry have never been looked after before. It is a fact that we have never had a congressman who is bet ter posted: on farming and fruit raising, and I doubt if we have a . man in the First district who Is better fitted to look after th Interest!" of the farmer In con gress thun Mv. Pollnrd. He' has proven this by the work he has already done In get ting appropriations for experimental tests of spraying at least one ..r chard in each county in tho district, providing for a test seeding of at least live acres of alfalfa, wheat, oats and corn, all of which experi ments are to be under the supervision of experts In the employ of the government. I know of nothing our representative in con grtf could do that will eventually work mora good to the district and eaiK-clully to the farmers and fruit raisers. And as far as old Richanlaon Is concerned I know tlutt her fanners re up iu arms for Pol lard like they never were for a congress man "before, and they are going to see that ilc l K ites an sent to the congressional convention who lll fight for Ills nomina tion.

Several of these senators met today In the committee room of Senator Aldrich and after a conference Senafor Knox was requested to plve his attention to an examination of the decision with a view to informing them Just what biaring it will have on the pending rate bill. Senator Knox 'promised to give the de cision his closest attehtion. From a hasty examination lie declared that It seemed to be In accord with the opinion he has held since the house bill was passed by the senate committee without adoption. Justice Brewer in the Michigan cases said: ' "In tho nation no one of the three graat departments assume to be given the func tions of another, for the constitution dis tinctly grants to the president, congress and the Judiciary, separately, the execu tive, legislative and Judicial powers of the nation. It.muy, therefore, be conceded that at tempted legislation by congress to the presldent. or any ministerial officer or bourdK" of power to fix a rnte oi taxation or axerciHC other legislative functions would be Judged unconstitutional." Opponents of the railroad rate Ull In Its present form believe that the decision is applicable to an attempt by congress to delegate rate making power to a com mission unless the courts are given full power of review of such power. They await with more than ordinary ifTTerest the opin ion of the leading lawyers of the senate. Supporters of the house bill arc not dis turbed by the Michigan cases, contending that the opinion of Justice Brewer is dic tum so far aa It concerns pending- legisla tion. Senators Doltlver and Nelson declare unhesitatingly that the opinion is not ap plicable to the present case. Senator Long who addressed the senate today In support of the bill, tiuoted from the opinion of Justice Brewer in the maximum rate case, as to whether congress in fact conferred the rate making power upon the Interstate Commerce commission, the following: "There were three obvious and dissim ilar courses open for consideration. Con gress might 1 tself prescribe the rates, or it might commit to some subordinate trib unal this duty, or It might leave with the lompanlea the right to maks rates, aub Ject to regulations and restrictions as well as to that rule which Is as old as the ex istence of common carriers, to wit, that rales must be reasonable."

WASHINGTON, April S.-iSpeclat Tele gramsSenator Burkett today Introduced a grating bill whirl) is' drawn along the lines suggested by President Itoosevelt In his last- message (j Congress and may therefore be 'designated as an administra tion measure. It gives the president of the t'nlted States, with the consent of the gov ernor of the state or territory affected, au thority to establish grsslng districts upon public lands.- The secretary of agriculture Is to have rhsrgc of the grating districts and Is required to appoint all local officers from residents of the state Or territory In which the grazing districts are located. The public lands In l-Si-h district Will be classi fied as agricultural or ' grating, and the grasing value of land In each locality will b appraised. In order "to reimburse the states or territories lor any loss In rev enue whk-h might be' caused by the estab lishment of grating districts. It Is pro vided that S per cent of the gross receipts from each dlatrlct shall be paid to the re spective states or territories for the use of the county or counties In which this district is situated. The residue of the receipts will be used ' to pay administrative ex penses, and at the 'eiid of each year 75 per cent of arty money remaining of tho fees collected will become'a part of the reclama tion .fund 'and the remainder will continue to be available for the payment of adminis trative expenses. Effect of Bnrkett Bill. The first assistant postmaster general has written a letter to Senator Burkett rel ative to the effect oiv the poftal service of his bill, recently Introduced, to extend first class city free delivery to all cities of the country having a , population of 4n,ou) or more. Mr. Hitchcock, in his letter, says that the hill would, not cause an increase In the number of .carriers employed. It would, however, . add thirty-seven offices to the present number of first class free de livery offices, making a total of nlnety-Qve instead of fifty-eight. -.It would raise the salaries of 1,132 letter carriers by $150 per annum each, anJ for the time being reduce the pay f, a few other carriers by about to0 per annum each,. The passage of the Burkett bill ' would . Increase by approxi mately $l"6.0no the cost of city delivery dur ing the coming fiscal year.

KASSAS. 44F.S IIRf When Result la Announced Mayor Rose nestsns. KANSAS CITT, Kan.. April 4.-Four of the six wards In Kansas City. Kan., hav ing declared in today's election against Mayor W. W. Rose's policy of licencing liquor Joints, the mayor sent In his resig nation to the city council tonight. The resignation wns unanimously ac cepted. Mayor Rose ever since his elec tion on the democratic ticket a year ago has been at war with the Kansas stnle administration and temperance people of his city over enforce'ment of the prohibi tion law. He has favored licensing the Joints and the state administration has been unable to convict a Joint keeper ar rested for selling liquor. Mayor Rose made his policy an Issue In today's elec tion for aldermen . and was defeated. An unusually large number of women voted. E. E. Venard, president of the council and a republican, who has bitterly op posed Mayor Roses policy, will be the acting mayor for ten days, at the expira tion of which a special election will be held to elect a successor to Rose. Mayor Rose announced tonight that he would en ter the race for re-election, and his re publican opponent will probably be Police Judge John T. Sims. Vernon J. Rose, chief. of police, an ardent supporter of Mayor Rose, also tendered his resignation .tonight, which . was accepted. A suit of ouster for non-enforcement of the prohibition law was pending against Mayor- Rose In the supreme court of Kan sas and it would linve been called for trial nejtt Friday.

April 3-The republican city ticket, headed by Henry M. Beards ley for mayor, was elected today, Mr. Bearduley's majority over Robert L. Gregory, democrat, being estimated at 1,200. The Issue of the csmpalgn was re stricting of public service franchises, both platforms endorsing the principle of mu nicipal ownership. The gas company and the street railway company are both seek ing axtensims of franchises, and the In coming administration is pledged to insist upon adequate return for extension and to establish a municipal gas plant unless a reduction of the price of gas is made. The new administration has a large ma jority ln each house of the city council. A feature of the election was the scrutiny of the voting by Governor Folk, who ln an automobile visited nearly every poll ing place In the city. In previous elec tions there have been many complaints of police interference with voters, and Gov ernor Folk, beside instructing the police Commissioners to see that fraud was pre vented, derided to n.ake a personal in spection. The governor expressed himself as pleased .with the . good order main tained. . DEMOCRATS Wl l ST. J OK A". E. Sprat Elected Maor b Plurality of Five Handred. ST. JOSEPH. Apsil 3 -Wllllam K.

(Special.) The mystery surrounding the disappear ance of Chris Sven. a farmer, has been at least partially solved. Reliable Informa tion has been received here to the effect that recently. Immediately prior to the de parture of Mrs. Sven for Larch wood, Is., to take up her permanent home with rela tives at that place, she received a let'er from her missing husband, who is alive and well. Sven wrote and mailed tha let ter at Bergen, Norway, and its receipt confirms the belief of many that he hnd not been murdered, as waa supposed, but would eventually turn out al his old home In Nora-ay. There Is now little doubt that because of domestic difficulties Sven quietly left Sioux Palls and Minnehaha county for his old home In Europe. It was In connection with his disappearance that twenty-four persons were recently arrested In this city on suspicion of having been implicated In or knowing something con cerning his disappearance. .
