HUMBOLDT. Neb., Nov. 1 iSiwUi.
Tba railroad yards In I his city were tlj
Fcpt:e of unusual excitement, last evening
snd for a time it was feared that bloodshed
would result from a strained condition of
affairs. It seems the railroad company had
Issued orders to move several cars and a
(ran: of Italian laborer to 'Dakota City to
continue work on the tracks of the road.
The laborers have been, ensured In misl'ig
thfl traces here for several weeks and have
lind some trouble about ovnrtlme; a number
of 1hm having; been itliieharged last wee!:
for refunlng- to work after certain overtime
alloSvnnce hod been withheld. Since Sunday
the g-.-ina liat bxu In: 'mtllcn mood and

the cold weather, and anklnir for thcr tine
I'heck. These the con'ip-jny niudc no liaMe
to Issue and wrnt ahettd with preparations
to move the cars which were occupied by
the laborers for Jiving- purposes.
The climax' came last evening when the
crew nnd spcc'iU engine sent down from
Wymore found , the switch spiked and a
sullen ran of thirty Italians Dtandln?
guard ;wlth revolvc-s and knives In pro
fusion. The maddened workmen gave It out
In broken English that they would sht.

spikes or remove their cars until a satisfac

hega.n their work last spring. Superintend
ent Roger of Wvuiore, who evidently did
not undeitHAnd the danger of tho situation,
gave orders that the cars be taken, leaving
the gang here, but this they refused to
permit, and when it was urged that the
local authorities be called upon to aid the
section gang and agent in the tak f;w
were found who cared to assumo the re
sponsibility of meeting a crowd of that
kind in -the dark.' Finally, upon advice of
the foreman. J. I Harris, who speaks the
Italian kngun;e and ha been with crews
of this kind tor yeuru, the men were per
mitted to remain in their cars over nleht
and the crew Fent back empty handed. This
morning the trouble was renewed and vnri

SENATOR AI.I.KVS TIKW OS PASSES
Kasloa Leader Doea Wot Tblak Jadaea
Arc- Influenced.
NORFOLK, Neb., Nov. 1,-t8pecial.)-A
railroad pau3 tendered to and accepted by
a judge is not a bribe unless it ts given
and accepted with the explicit understand
ing that it Is a bribe, according to former
United Rtates Senator William V. Allen of
Nebraska, one of tile foremost fusion
statesmen of Ms time, who was declared
by Mr. Bryan, In ills cpeech here. I to have
been the greatest friend of the people ever
went to the s -imte from Nebraska.
"I am In hearty accord with my party
and le!!evp in the election of the fusion
ticket from top to bottom," said Senator J
Alien. "There la no doubt that the pass
system Is an evil Incident to the private
ownership of railroads, and probably It
will only disappear entirely with govern
ment ownership. I do not believe that a
pass In a bribe unless it Is given and ac
cepted as a bribe, and I do not believe
that there Is a Judge in the state of Ne
braska whose decisions or official conduct
have been Influenced by a pass. Many of
the Judges hsve fallen into the habit of
accepting passes when tendered them, bu
I have too high appreciation of their per
sonal worth and Integrity to believe that
any of them have been swerved from the
path of duty by a paus. Tet I think the
pass, like tho rebate, should speedily dis
appear, but in my Judgment this can only
be accomplished by nationalising the roads.
I have no doubt that Judges of our court
will observe the public wish on the subject
of passes. If a pass Is now to be con
sidered a bribe, every president, including
the present incumbent, from Lincoln down,
has been bribed, for the railroads have
furnished them free transportation by the
trainload until about a year ago. when
President Roosevelt declined to accept ac
commodations from the, roads." ;

That the republicans of Lincoln are not
In sympathy with the candidacy of Rene
gade Williams, who betrayed the repub
licans of Pierce county In order to secure
the nomination for railroad commissioner
at the hands of the republican rtate con
vention, was demonstrsted at the meeting;
at the Auditorium last night. Ned Brown,
who was considered most excellent timber
by both the Wlnnett and Ludden factions
of the Lancaster republicans, mad ths,
first speech of the evening. He t dwelt
upon the fitness for raiixoad commissioners
of Robert Cowell and . Dr. H. J. Wlnnett
of this city. These two men, he said,
were Ideal men for the place, but about
Williams he was sllcnL Of course it was
embarrassing at a meeting such as that
last night not to endorse all the candidates
for railroad commissioner, but Ned Brown
had the honesty not to stultify himself
by endorsing the candidacy of Renegade
Willi" n.n. The position he took last night
is significant of the opinion the repub
licans of Lancaster county have of the man
who sold his houor. betrayed his con
stituents and stultified himself for the saks
of a political nomination.
Democrats Are laslaeere.
Though the democrats of the First con
gressional district are making much ado
about Congressman Pollard drawing $1,909
from the national treasury, from the time
ths term of his predecesor expired, they
are saying nothing of the fact that Con
gressman Neville, democrat, did the same
thing under practically the same circum
stances, only he got more thsn twice as
much money. Mr. Neville was elected to
fill the unexpired term of Congressman
Green of the Sixth district, who died in
Omaha March 11, 1889. Inasmuch as Rich
ard L. Metcalfe, then editor of the World
Herald, knew of this fact and still gave
Neville his support for 'a second term,
proves to the satisfaction of Chairman
Teegurden of the congressional committee
that Metcalfe and his democratic friends
are as usual Insincere and are Jumping on
Pollard merely because he Is a republican
and not a member of the democratic party.
Mr. Teegtrden has Issued the following
statement regarding the matter:
Ths facts about Mr. Neville's acceptance
of salary for a period during which he wan
not a congressman were made public In
ltfciO, when he was a candidate for re
election, and at that time Mr. Neville had

no firmer supporter than Mr. Metcalfe, then
csHtor of the World-Herald.
W. L. Green, then congreBsman from the
Sixth Nebraska district, died In Omaha on
the 11th of March, 1HSH. The records of
the set(5eant-at-arms of the house of rep
resentatives show that the Green heirs
drew pay from March 4 to June 3, lttf,
receiving $1,150. Later congress when in
session, following the usual custom, voted
to the Green family the remainder of tho
5.0f) for the year.
The same records show that In December
Mr. Neville drew from the disbursing
officer of the house the sum of t.3.640-40,
covering the salary from March 11, the
date of Mr. Green's death, to December
3. 1K, although Mr. Neville was not
elected until November. WW.
In accepting that money Mr.' Neville fol
lowed the custom and the law, even though
he was known as a reformer. His case Is
not exactly on all fours with -that of Mr.
Pollard because he took the money at the
same time that congress paid a similar
sum to the widow of the dead member,
tho government thus paying a second time.
Otherwise it is the same.
Little In Lumber Case So Far.
Nothing of importance was brought out In
the alleged Lumber trust hearing today, the
entire time being taken up with the read
ing of letters found in the correspondence
of Secretary Critchfleld and the numbers
of the Lumber Dealers' association. These
were introduced by JudgeSinclair for the
state, who sorted them out frmn LW9 or
more which have been brought into court.
The letters Introduced showed a number
of complaints were made by members of
the association, because acme wholesale
houses hnd sold direct to a consumer In
stead of through the retail dealer. Other
letters referred to the rating of firms and
others regarding the grade of lumber sept
out by the wholesale dealers. In one-Instance
letters showed the secretary had
tent out an agent to see about the grad-5
of lumber. None of the letters referred to
the fixing of prices to be paid or charged
for lumber.
Judge Sinclair la now merely laying the
foundation. of his case and expects. later to
have witnesses here from out in tbe state
to testify. On the other hand the. lawyers
for the lumber dealers say the n!y e-i.
deuce the state will be able to produce Is
that the statu association has tried to
prevent the wholesale houses from sellinK
direct to the consumer, but to sell to th!
retail dealer. This they claim is not con
trary to law.
Haller Heads Library Commission.
At the regular quarterly meeting of the
Nebraska State Library commission Chan
cellor Andrews resigned as president and
F. L' Haller of Omaha was elected to fill
the vacancy.
The commission accepted the resignation
of the chancellcr with reluctance, but he
declared he wanted to devote mist of his

to the interests of the State university.
Mr. Haller was president of the commis
