. During the session yesterday morning
Chairman Brandes railed "attention to .the
fact that the dally sessions of the Joint

City Clerk Sapp had a novel experience
yesterday when W. H. Lynch of lltfl
Eighth avenue applied for a building rer
mlt to erect a high board fence between
his lot and that of hie neighbor. Mr.
Lynch waa Informed that he had a perfect
right to erect any kind of an old fence on
hla property without a permit from the
municipality. In explanation Mr. Lynch In
formed City Clerk Sapp that his neigh
bora children and chlckena did not re
spect the property line and the nuisance
had become ao great that he had decided
to erect a tight six-foot board fence be
tween hla lot and that of bis neighbor. In
order that no lgal question might arise
Lynch stated he Intended building the fence
aell within Tils own property line.

(From a Staff Correspondent. V
DBS MOINES, June 12.-1 Special. )-The
supreme court today decided that Sherman
Bettla of Wayne county should have liitti
damagea for being put off a Rock Island
train In Wayne county some year ago.
He waa riding on an excursion and the en
tire case turned on whether or not he had
Pld his fare. Bet t is testified that he paid
the braVeman and the conductor and an
other brakeman testified that he had not
paid them, but the brakeman whom he
did pay was not a witness. On the failure
of the railroad to produce the other brake
man a a witness to contradict Bettla the
Judgment wa for Betlls and the supreme
court uphold this decision.
Judge Deemer and Judge ladd dissent
from the opinion of the majority of the
court In the case of personal Injuries aris
ing from a steam shovel having been left
at a poaltlon where It frightened horses
along the highway. In Bremer county
Winston brother did some contract work
for the Great Western In making a deep
cut where there waa an overhead bridge.
A horse driven by Mis. Anna Helnmlller
was frightened and she waa given a Judg
ment for 12.000 by the district court. The
majority decision of the supreme court
today waa for a Judgment for Sl.ftW or the
reversal of the case, leaving It with the
plaintiff to elect. The disaentlng opinion
merely dissents from tlie rule of practice
of allowing damages under' the fact In
the case.
The supreme court today handed down
a large number of cases' and adjourned
for the period. There will be a short ses
sion of the court in July, at which time
opinions will be handed down, but no case
heard, and adjournment will then be taken
to the September term. -

At the opening session of the convention

of graduate nurses. Such a bill wa up
before the general assembly laat winter

lated In the house, and was then with
drawn by the friend of the measure. The

REDUCED RATES TO BRITAIN
Poatofflre Department Makes State,
meat of Itesult of Work of
Postal ( (inirni.
WASHINGTON, June 11-In. connection
with the work of the recent universal pos
tal congress the Postoffiee department has
given out the following statement as to the
effect of one of the provisions of that con
vention as affecting this country:
The I'nlversal Postal congress, recently
In convention at Home. ltHly, ordered a
substantial reduction In letter postHire by
lncreelng the unit of weight, effective on
and after October I, 1W, from li to JO I
grams, snd providing that while postage on I
me nrat iwenty grams snsn remain Bt f
centimes (14 cents) every additional M 1
grams snail ne ai me raie or m centimes
(3 cents).
! Ureal Britain and the 1'nited States I
strongly urged that the unit of weight for
them should be fixed at one ounce, as It
would be extremely difficult for them to ex
press an equivalent weight for W grams,
not having adopted the metric system. This
request was granted. This will give the two
great rountriea exceptionally low rates for
th exchange, of letters. I'nder Ihe reduced
rates a letter to Great Britain will cost 6
centa for the first ounce and 3 cents for the
second ounce, or S cents for two ounces.
In other words, when the new rates he-
come effective a letter packet weighing six
ounces can be sent to Oreat Iiritain at the
rate now charged for a two-ounce packet.

VKRM1MON. S. T., June i:.-(Speclal
Telegram.) John I Webster of Omaha de
livered the address to the graduate of the
I'nlverxlty of South' flakota tonight, apeak
Inji on the subject. "The lawyer: HI Place
In American- History.'" Mr. Webster pro
tested against "that danger from, the .ac
cumulation' and concentration of -billions of
capital in gigAntlc corporation that monop
olize the business in ..which, thev are en
gaged." He suit! that, much depends upon
the lawyers In solving the problems con
fronting the nation. . In conclusion the ora
tor said:
At this time, our country Is confronted
with a danger that threatens to disregard
the rights of the people and Is a menace to
the freedom of Individual endeavor. That
danger comes from the accumulation and
concentration of billions of capital In glaan-
,. corporations that monopolize the busi
ness in which they ere eng-aged. Their, teti-
dency is to suppress competition by unjust
and unconscionable oppreaslons and to cor
rupt the lnidy politic by methods which
have lately wrecked the lives of some men
I and ruined the reputation of other who
nnd ueen tno idols or me people.
Control of the Raltroade.
Sir Walter Raleigh once said that what
ever nation controlled the es would con-'
trol the foreign commerce of the world, it
ia equally true that whoever controls the
railroads of the country can control Ita
rommerce. . The twenty-ta'o billion of In
ternal commerce of the I'nltcd Stales which
represents every species of proditot, of (kill
snd Industry' of elKnty-millions of people,
and which Is the measure of, our nation'a
material strength and power, -is dependent
upon the transportstlon of the railways of
our country. Today, six men control ion.- .
OtO miles of -our railways and are the mas
ters in fixing rates of transportation, by
which they can, in a degree, Inflate or de
press the value of the wealiti of -the couti
try. These six men are In command of si
million -of employer; an - army of men'
greater' than Napbteon comnlatuled when .
overturning the empire of Furope; an
ffmiy nf men greater than General Orant
commanded when he received the surren
der of Lee at Appomattox; an army of men
greater than Marshall Oyama commanded
when he fought the vkttnrttme battlea With
the nussinris nn the plains of Manchuria.
With tills vast corporate power, the peo-
rle of the United States, have been tight- .
ng a battle In lie national congress. The
greiit principle at stake la whether the pro.
visions which confer upon congress the
power to regulate commerce among the
several suites and to legislate for the gen
eral welfare- of the t.'nlted State shall
have force and -vitality and mean what
they say or whether the moneyed power
of the country is greater than the consti
tution. The great lawyer In the house of
representatives snd In the senate of the
1'nited States are the only membera who
have risen 'to the demanda of -the occasion,
in tiiat great debate and upon them must
the nation depend for the protejotlon of
the conat it utlonal .rights of tlie people.
What the. Lawyer Did.'
The lawyera of our country, drafted the .
declaration of Independence. The lawyers '
of our country framed the constitution of.
thn I'nlted ' States. The lawyers of our ..
country maintained the integrity of that
sacrcU Instrument during the civil war and
reconatructed Into a happy uuloa the se- ; .
ceding states.- The lawyers of our coun
try determined the constitutional right of
the nation to acquire new, territory In tlie'
Louisiana purchase and to keep on ex- '
pandlng In area until it no lea abreast
lao mighty oceana nd rules over Islanda
In the seas. Th 'lawyer of eur country'
have by adaptation to condition and a
process of logical construction given to
ihe words and sentencea of the constitu
tion a meaning broad enough. In purpose- '
and hie enough In scope and comprehen
sion to fit the giant nation of tt.OOO.OOO peo-
j p)e The )HWyera of the country have uc
i eessfully aolved all questions of constltu
! tlonal government and constructive states-
manslrip that have confronted me Aineri-"
can people In the course of Its past history.
The lawvera of the cognlry will solve the
pending questions and keep the, constitu
tion supreme over the moneyed and cor
porate owers wllli in American borders.
Bollngbroke, In describing the profeeslon
of lew as. In its nature, the noblest and
most beneficial to , mankind, exclaimed;.
"There have been lawyera that were ora
tors, phlloaophers, historians; there have
been Bacona and Clarendons, my lord;
there shall be none such any more, till In
some better age men learu to prefer fame
to pelf and climb to the vantage ground
of general science."
I have endeavored hi tbls sketch to ehow
that there have been lawyers Irt America .
who have lived 4n that better age. and
may we of the presetvt day maintain that,
high standard which has given to the pro
fession its place In the tempi of fame In
American hlatory.
