says the lnterpietation of the law "must be
such that the issuance of free transporta

well as the issuance of interstate trans

free transportation from the railroads had
hoped that when the new law went into

Trial Exaose More er
Methooe Eaialoyea by
Cattlessea.
Repudistjon by old soldiers of affidavits
beaxing their names and tbe disclosure of
tell-tale letters bearing tbe signatures of
big cattlemen numbered among tbe defend
ants, were tbe striking features In tbe
seventeenth day of the land trial before
Judge Munge.r of the United States court
yerterday. Indications are the trial will
be prolonged up to Christmas.
Tbe significant feature of tbe day was
tbe repudiation of certain documents by
two or three of the old soldier witnesses
and the repudiation In each instance of the
concurrence in the appointment of R. C
Noleman as sgent tor the soldiers in mak
ing their declaratory statements at Quiccy,
ILL In one instance a witness, Charles 1L
Wjman, said:
"I did not go before S. M. Mann to make
auy declaratory statement, but Mann
came before me, I afterward went to
Mann's house at Quincy and we talked rel
ative to land matters, but I have no recol
lection of signing any papers or declaratory
statement. I did not sign tbe paper re
puted to have been signed by me and In
troduced here in evidence, nor did I au
thorize anyone to sign my name for roe. I
know nothing about tbe paper. Neither do
1 know R. C. Noleman. I did not write my
elgnatuie to any paper authorizing him to
act as an agent for me."
Objee-tlea bets la a Petmt.
The defense promptly objected to tUe in
troduction of this document in evidence
and ail papers purporting to have been
signed by Wyman. Tbe objection was sus
tained by the court.
Pashaway Fields of Quincy, a colored old
aoUler, testinid that be had signed a
declaratory statement at tbe instance of
& M. Mann at Quincy, but that he had
not authorised tbe substitution of the name
of R. C Noleman as agent for him in
place of F. M. WalcotU The defense of
fered tbe usual objections, and In tbe cross
examination of the witness drew out the
tact that the witness had been visited by
United States secret service officers, whom
the defense characterised as '"detectives."
Mr. Rush We object to the attorney for
the defense referring to government offi
cers in this contemptuous way. The at
torney general has tbe right to designate
officers to make investlgationa
The objection waa overruled.
In his further cross-examination Fields
said: "This affidavit is not in the same
condition as when I signed It. It has been
doctored in one place to suit the occa
sion. Tbe typewritten parts were-there
when I signed it, but it has been changed
by words written in it. It has been altered
since I signed it."
Paaer Vti Aa AOIdaTlt.
The paper In question was an affidavit
procured from this witness to show that
he had entered Into no agreement with
anyone as to disposal of the land, should
he ever acquire title to It, and that the
delaratory statement made by him was
for his own benefit. Under tbe rigid
cross-examination tbe witness finally ad
mitted that he knew the general con
tents of tbe affidavit as it was originally
presented to bird fpr signature. , Mr. JJall,
principal counael, then waving the affida
vit over his head and shaking It at the
witness, approached him;
"Then, sir, you do swear that you signed
this paper?"
Mr. Rush I object to the dramatic style
of the counsel for tbe defense.
Tlie witness nodded in assent in answer
to Mr. Hail s dramatic question and then
i the several counsel for tbe defense con
Mr. Hush Has this instrument been
changed since you signed it?
Witness Yes sir, it has been changed
since I signed it.
In response to a question by Mr. Rush
tbe Vitncas said: "I did not intend to
follow up this declaratory statement by
filing on the land or making a home on
it."
Michael Walker, another old soldier from
the Quincy, (111.), Home, testified to mak
ing out a declarator)- statement before
B. M. Mann and sigrHng the same. Con
tinuing he said:
"I did not know R. C. Noleman por have
I ever bad any correspondence with Llm.
I don't know of such a xeraon."
Did Sot File for Eatry.
The witxMss did not follow up his declara
tory statement by any filing for entry.
The last witness of tbe forenoon was a
colored old soldier wl.o answered to tbe
name of George Washington Murray. There
being some question as to the clear Identity
f his name, his examination was carried
over inte the afternoon.
The whole purpose of Monday morning's
bearing was to sbow that a number of
; declaratory statements had been procured

had been subsequently changed in subatl-

FREIGHT TRAINS FOR ALL
Prlvilere Heretofore Eajeyea Omly
by TraTellas; Mrs Glvea
to tbe Poblle.
Several ff the railroads entering
Omaha have Informed the Commercial
club that with the beginning of the year
they will extend the passenger privilege
to many freight trains which are not cow
for tbe use of the general public.
This la on account of the fact that the
roads, to comply with the law, have de
cided to sto Issuing special permits to
traveling salesmen to ride on fre'ght
trains, tbe spirit of the law as it bears
on this matter being that tbe general
public has a right to ride on any train
on which tbs traveling wmn is allowed to
ride. Hence, in order to accommodate
the salesmen, the roads must accommo
date everybody.
Recently a local Jobbing firm, after be
ing refuaed permits for its travelers for
107, laid tbe matter before tbe Commer
cial club. Commissioner Guild wrote tbe
Interstate Commerce commission and re
ceived in reply the following letter from
Franklin Lane:
The question raised is a novel and very
interesting one. It appears to have been
tbe custom of railroads, at least of the
Chicajto, Burlington t Quincy, to gn.ru
permits to commercial travelers to travel
in the cabooses of freight trains, and the
railroad has now issued orders withdrawing
such permits.
Tbe position taken by tbe railroad seems
to me entirely sound. Neither the act to
regulate interstate commerce, nor any
other law, recognises sue h a jractice as
traveling on special penults. Tou will at
once perceive that the commission cannot
In any way sanction such practice, for it
would be entirely contrary to all those
firovisions of law touching discrimination,
f the Chicago, Burlington & Quinry may
frant a permit to me to ride upon its
reigbt trains it may deny it to you. and
thus transportation becomes a matter of
special privileges; whereas It la a matter
of right, fixed under the law. There Is,
of course, no tibjection to tbe railroads
carrying persons upon surh trains that
they please, so long ss tbe right to travel
upon such trains upon payment of the
scheduled tariff of fares Is open to all and
denied to none. FRANKLIN K. LAN EL

NAVY DESERTER A CONVERT

FTffesses Rellrloa at Torrey
Meeting.
A. H. Bannerman, a self-confessed de
serter from the United States marine
corps, was converted aJL.tbe Torrey mis
sion Sunday night and announced hia in
tention of giving himself up to the au
tborltlea The convert went to the
mourners' bench near ths close of tbe
meeting at the instance of a member of
the "personal workers' " committee un
der the direction efRev. Newman Hall
Burdick. When Dr. .Torrey was advised
of the case the meeting bad been dis
missed, but the mi'Jjence", was recalled.
Bannerman then aejlo the speaker's
rostrum and said;,, r., . .
"I have been eer'vlaa the 4 evil "tor
twenty-three year, -but iave.got tired of
it and I'm now, goipgj to serve tbe lord."
Tbe statement created a sensation. To
Dr. Burdick. the convert said:
"Prolably my step -will land me In the
penitentiary, but I intend to give myself
up and live a righteous -life hereafter."
Ilannerman is a native of Scotland and
dewrted from the marine corps at Mare
Kland navy yard last August. He has been
traveling over the country under an alias,
but registered under his real name Sunday
night at the Dellone hotel. His mother is
ignorant of his whereabouts and Banner
man wrote her a letter Sjnday nipht, the
first one In months, advising her of his
recent change of iheart.
Although Bannerman intimated be would
give himself up to tbe federal authorities
the officers in charge or the recruiting
oftic-e in the federal building said Monday
afternoon they fcnew nothing of the case
and could not say what action would be
taken if Bannerman presented himself. The
secretary of the navy does not take an
active Interest In any ' deserter, and it ia
seldom that one is prosecuted or even re
turned to the station from which he de

business men of the United States that ths
country has entirely outstripped In growth
its railway fadlitits; second, that we must
develop our waterways in order to afloid
adequate transportation facilities for the
tremendous tonnage now offered for ship
ment; third, that these waterways oCer
the, only possible relief from the tremen
dously high railroad charges now being
exacted, waterway transportation having
been demonstrated to be Ibsf than one-six tn
tbe cost of railway transportation.
'The general sennnient developed at the
convention mas for the construction not
of individual projects, but a complete and
connected system of water transportation.

"The Interest blng taken in this subject
by Kansas City snd St. Louis, makes It
necessary that Omaha should get in touch
with the mevement snd take ap prominent
a part as possible. The Missouri river must
necessarily be a part of the waterway sys
tem that is crested, and whether tbe part
it shall play is to be limited to that por
tion of the river between St- Louis snd
Kansas City is a question for those cities
north of Kansas City to determine. Omaha
should take the lead In that determination
and should, Invite the co-operation of our
neighbors in making this portion of tbe
river a part of be system."
Heavy T. Clarke.
Henry T. Clarke, who waa made vice
president of the convention for Nebraska
returned Sunday. Mr. Clarke character
ised the congress as ths most magnificent
nonpolitlcal public gathering of represents
Uve men that has ever met in the country.
That hundreds of men should leave their
business and pay their own expenses to be
present at the meeting, was taken by Mr.
Clarke as s sign of s popular demand for
river Improvement and cannot be over
looked by the present congress. If the
present congress does not take suo-ie ac
tion toward granting what the public de
mands, said Mr. Clarke, another meeting
will be held within thirty days after the
sdjoumment of congress and it win be at
tended by three times as many delegsfes
i as were present at the convention last
aeek.

CCKE EARLY AND AVOID THE RUSH
Gawds Seat la Advaare May Bo
Labelled "Do Hot Oar a Till tbrlst
Baaa" srad Delivery V. Ill
Be facilitated.
The truth of the .proposition that tha
early bird gets the worm is universally ae
cepted. No less true Is it that the early
Christmas shopper gets the goods and the
early Christmas shipper ' gets fne service
from the transportation ccmipanlea
In previous years It has bees a -source of
much wonder to many people that mother
or Uncle Will or Cousnn Phyllis didn't get
the presents which were sent to them with
such an apparent plenitude uf 'time in
which to make the delivery. If the peoj-le
who remember relatives and friends out
sUa of the city could get s glimpse of the
inside of an express office during the week
preceding the big day they would be en
lightened upon the mystery of the non
delivery of tbe presents which they sent.
The trouble, according to local express
ofticlala is "that tLe" people" forget others
besides themselves are sending presents
and want them delivered at Just the same
time. It is simply an impossibility to han
dle this business which Is unloaded -upon
tbe postoffioe and the eapreas companies.
"There s Just one way to do ft." said a
local express maa. "Tbe people must send
their goods in adVanoe, There, is every ad
vantage in doing so and no disadvantage.
We lurnlsh labels reading, 'Please do not
open this package until Christmas. Then
It makes no difference If the package Is de
livered a week in advance. It will be laid
away by tbe recipient until Cliristmas
morning."
Delay Is Daaserwas.
It Is pointed out that by sending pack
ages ahead in this way delay is avoided
and damage to goods is less likely. The
transportation facilities are literally
Jammed for the few days before Christmas.
If an address tag is torn from a package
then there is no time to hunt up the Ident
ity. Tbe package is cast aside to wait until
the rush is past- If the packxge ia started
in advance of the ruNh there is time lo
right mistakes if they occur.
Packages to be shipped to foreign coun
tries must go long In advance to al'ow for
the long time required for transiort and
the possibility of delay in the custom housa
As a rule Christmas packages are ruxhed
through the custom bouse with all speed,
thouth the officials have the right to stop
them if they desire.
This year shows an increase In the num
ber of aise people who are "coming early
and avoiding the rush" both In the stores
and in the transportation departments.
The business is already -e!l started and
I in consequenoe the express companies and
j postoffioe look for somewhat Ions of a Jaia
on the last few daoa.
