TIIE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1907. 8 CAUSE OF THE COAL FAMINE Cmmini(raer Lana Eaya it Wu Dna t Baada FtTorin Mora Profitable Traffic WORK ON RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE LAW Commission Will Draft Btatnte In tended to Item Eqaltnble Division of Can Among Solppers. WASHINGTON, Jan. t The mum, but not the cure, for the car shortage In the northwest, and the consequent coal famine In North Dakota, have been determined by the members of the Interstate Commerce commission participating In the recent hearings at Chicago and Minneapolis. Franklin K. Lane, who served as chair man of the Investigating commission, to day filed his report with the full commis sion and sent It to President Roosevelt, who ordered the Inquiry. He finds: It Is a fair Inference from all the testi mony that the real cause of the coal ecsrcltv in North Dnkot was such an abundance of westbound traffic at the heHd of the lakes that cars were not available In the congested state of the terminal for the rarrvtng of coal to North Dakota, a comparatively short haul for a low class commodity. In his letter of transmission to the presi dent Mr. Lane says the report will be fol lowed In due course by the special recom mendations of the commission as a whole as to whatever legislation, If any, may be deemed advisable. Combine Not Responsible. , Referring to the report that the con! ' shortage was due to the presence of a trust or combination between dealers In coal who fixed prices In the northwest, and refused to sell to "outsiders" and "Ir regulars," the report says: The commission has gained Indisputable firoof of an agreement between coal dealers o maintain prices and to boycott all who do not so agree, hut there Is no evidence at all Justifying the contention that this combination Is chargeable with the coal shnrtnge prevailing nor that the railroads were a party In such a way to such a conspiracy. The report of the commissioner first deals with the coal famine In North Dakota, and presents the conditions of distress found . to have existed In that state. The remedies which the commission proposes to work out Include a plan for a car clearing house or car pool and reciprocal demurrage. Financial loss to a large percentage of the people of the northwest la shown to have been caused by the failure of railroad to prepare for a large movement of grain. Mr. Lane shows that the railroads tapping the great grain belt of the northwest seem to have been overwhelmed by this year's crop, although In fact the crop scarcely exceeded that of 1906, nor did It equal that of at least one other preceding year. Reciprocal Demurrage Proposed. In considering the evidence taken, Com missioner Lane says that a plan for a pro posed car clearing house or a car pool between connecting lines is regarded with much favor. The details of such a plan have not been worked out. Car approprla tion between carriers Is treated at some length and the adoption of a rule Is sug gested fixing a minimum of SO cents a day during those months of the year when t raffle is light and Increasing this possibly four-fold during the latter halt of the year when cars are most needed. The most generally advocated remedy for the failure of carriers to furnish cars when demanded Is known aa the reciprocal car demurrage. This phrase means In a word that carriers hull be penalized on failure to furnish cars demanded, and It arises out of the universal railroad practice of Imposing a per diem penalty when a car Is held by a consignee for unloading beyond a certain fixed number of days. The commissioner cays this plan would not overcome th transportation difficulties If the measure merely provided for punishing the railroad for nonplaclng . of cars or nonmovement thereof. Real Canse May Lie Deep. Mr. Lane In his report sums up the con clusion of the commissioners In the fol lowing: I The problem Is one that Is much deeper .and much broader than a mere lack of cars and engines. It is one In which Is Involved every factor In railroading, the construction, operation, maintenance and financing of the railroad. The Inability of a shipper to secure a car may only be a symptom of a deep-seated and organic trouble. The real cause of the car short age may He In the too conservative char acter of the management of the npad, or in the unfitness or Incompetency of It operating officials. It may flow from an Incomprehension on the part of the di rectors of the full duty imposed by law on a common carrier. It may arise out of a policy In railroad operation which gives primary consideration to specula tive stock operations. It may coma from an Inability to secure funds so to fit it self that It can discharge its duty. It may follow In a time of prosperity from an Increase of traffic which could not have reasonably been anticipated. It may hav- arisen from Inability to secure labor or materials necessary to the proper enlarg ing of facilities. This enumeration of cai ses Is not exhaustive. It obuld not well be complete without giving consid eration to many economic factors which at first glance would appear remote and unrelated. Clearly the problem of trans portation la so closely Interwoven with the fabric of our commercial system and so closely related and so Interdependent are the various activities of our Industrial life that one may not lightly say what are the multitudinous considerations which necessarily enter Into so simple a question as the reason why a railroad car is not at once forthcoming when ordered.

This is the theory of re ciprocal demurrage. Bvit that of Itself It will enable the railroad's to render ade qunte service Is not demonstrated by ex perience. The need for additional legislation to reach the seat of the trouble Is shown by the conclusion of the report whereiu It Is said: "If the Interstate Commerce com mission is to be vested with rower to make rules under which railroads shall be required on penalty to furnish cars to shippers, this commission should also be empowered to make rules under which free Interchange of cars shall be effected, or to require railroads engaging In Inter state commerce to make such rules for their own protection and provldo for their enforcement." BACK TO STATE FOR INDIAN Gifts Rainbow Is Given Over to the Nebraska Coorts by Jndge Trleber, A decision was received at the United States circuit court Wednesday morning dismissing the habeas corpus proceedings against Charles Green Rainbow, a Winne bago Indian, and remanding hlrh to the custody of the state authorities. The case grows out of an alleged assault and arrest made by Charles Oreen Rain bow on Thomas L. Sloan in forcibly eject ing the latter from the vicinity of the Winnebago agency house, where he had gone to collect a bill of an Indian on one of the lease payment days. A rule of the Interior department prohibits collectors from approaching within 100 yards of the agency during the time payments of lease money are being made to Indiana. Mr. Sloan Is alleged to have violated the rule by coming within the 100-yard limit and was, upon the order of the agent, ejected by being placed In a wagon by Rainbow and two other Indian policemen and taken without the 100-yard limit Mr. Sloan had the policemen arrested for assault on a complaint sworn out before the county Judge. The government thereupon Immediately secured the release of the policemen by writ of habeas corpus on the ground that they were In the legitimate discharge of their duties. The case was heard before Judge Trleber, while he was on the bench In December, Mr. Sloan holding that the Indian police were without authority and that the ruling established by the Interior department was without warrant or law: In deciding the matter Judge Trleber, who has returned to Arkansas, says: "The regulations Invoked by the peti tioners have been approved by the secre tary of the Interior. There must must bo an act of congress granting such author ity, otherwise they are void and can af ford no protection. This order Is made without prejudice to the petitioners to plead the same as a defense in the state court if so advised."' As a result of the decision Rainbow la remanded to the custody of the state au thorities. However, It is the Intention of the government to appeal the case, because of the Importance of the Issues Involved, relative to the right of the Interior de partment to enforce rules not specifically provided for by act of congress. COUNTY HAS GOOD BALANCE Over Hundred Thonaand Dollar la General Fand Despite D li cit Year Ago. There Is a balance of more than $100,000 In the general fund of Douglas county In spite of the fact that the 1906 board started out with a deficit of nearly $46,000. County expense for lue lixat eifcVb& fticnthfl h&V8 averaged $30,800 a month. J. J. Ryder, cleric of the county commissioners, has prepared the following statement of the county's financial condition: ' Unpaid bills carried from 1906 $ 82,821.52 Funds available Jan. 1. 1906. to pay ' same 86,941.6$ Unprovided at Jan. 1, 1906 4S,il!M.44 Transferred from 19l, road and bridge funds 66,000.00 Which liquidated 1906 bills carried over and left for 19ue general fund $ 19.119.66 Exiwnses for general fund Jan. 1. 116. to Dec. 1. 1906 I229.68S.0fi Of which there had been paid Deo. 1, IBM ZW,K3.flO Balance unpaid Dec. 1, 1906 $ Z1,84.B6 Balance In fund Dec. 1. 1S06 143,290.4 On hand to pay unpaid bills Deo. 1, lUt. and pay Dec. bills $171,424.94 And December collections are not shown In balance on hand.

This, too, when the 1906 board started out with a deficit of $46,880.44. Bee Want Ads produce results. Jaeksonlnns' Ananal lianqaet.

WASHINGTON. Jan. l-Chargea of fraud were filed late this afternoon with Post master Oeneral Cortelyou against the of ficials and members of the New Tork Cot ton exchange by Representative Livingston of Georgia and Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton association, of At lanta. On the charges they filed they base a request that the Postofflce department Issue a fraud order against the officials and members of the New York Cotton ex change In order to bar them from the use of the United States malls In conducting what the charges term fraudulent practices. The postmaster general referred his call ers to Judge Goodwin, assistant attorney general for the Postofflce department. It I likely that a healing on the charges will be held by Judge Goodwin before a de termination of the question to reached. Representative Livingston and Mr. Jor dan aubmltted to the postmaster general the following letter accompanying: the charges: WASHINGTON. D. C Jan. 1 1907. Hon. O. B. Cortelyou, Postmaster General, Washington. D. C. Dear Blr: We. the Hon. L. F. Livingston, M. C, of Georgia, and Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton association, Atlanta, Go., hereby re spectfully request the issuance of a fraud order by your department against the use of the United States malls by the officers and members of the New Tork Cotton ex change, ' and present our reasons for the same in the following charge, below out lined, and to which we most respectfully invite your careful attention. Yours truly, 1a F. IjIVINOSTON, HARVIB JORDAN. , Charges Allege Frand. Following are part of the charges pre sented to Mr. Cortelyou: We charge that New York City has ceased to be a commercial spot cotton market, and that the New York Cotton exchange, operating under Its present de- Daeea ana fraudulent contracts, has de veloed into a purely speculative or gam bling exchange and that the gradea of cotton shipped to New York and tender able upon the contracts under the rules of the New rorx Cotton exchange cannot be used for commercial spinning purposes and that suoh grades of cotton are used solely to depress the price of splnnable grades In the south; to further the specu lative features of the New York Cotton exchange to the heavy detriment of tho entire legitimate cotton trade of the United States. We further charge that the said New York Cotton exchange, through Its officers and members. Is dally using the United States mails for the purpose of transmit ting and advertising its business to the legitimate cotton trade of the United States, and we charge that such business is fraudulent and that sara officials and members of the New York Cotton exchange should be denied the use of the United States malls. We refer you to copies of letters hereto attached. We further charge that New York City haa ceased to be a spot cotton market for . commercial, splnnable grades of cot ton, due to the present debased contracts of the New York Cotton exchange, and as proof of the charge we cite to you the fact that from September 1, 1908, to De cember 31, 1908, there was only delivered from that market 10,046 bales of spot cot ton to spinners out of a total of prac tically 8,000,000 bales of American cotton placed on the. markets of this country at other points. We charge further that the official dally quotations sent out through the United States malls by the officers and members of the New York uotton exenange 10 tneir customers and others, both as to "futures" and "spot prices, are fraudulent in mat neither . represents the true and actual value of soot cotton, but that the same are rrom fo to n.ou per Date ies imu the market nrlce at which splnnable grades of cotton could be purchased In the south and shipped to New York for tender on aiu IikuuUilmI Cx:.raci3. In addition to the formal charges, many letters and affidavits In support of them were submitted to Postmaster General Cor telyou. Representative Livingston urged prompt and decisive action In the ma'tter, and Mr. Cortelyou said the charges would be given, attention by the department Exchange Asks for Charges. NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Walter C. 'Hub bard, president of the New York Cotton exchange, announced today that he had asked Postmaster General Cortelyou to send him copies of any complaints that might have been made to him against the New York Cotton exchange. This action was taken on the publication of reports that an application will be made to the postmaster general In behalf of cotton growing Interests In the south for the is suance of a fraud order against the New York Cotton exchange, denying it the use of the United States malls. It was said to have been charged that cotton delivered on contracts and sold on the floor of the New York Cotton exchange was not of the grade called for by the contracts. On the publication of this report President Hubbard first' sent a telegram to Mr. Cor telyou and then on December 81 wrote to him asking that Mr. Cortelyou "favor the New York Cotton exchange with copies of any complaint made against it, in order that proper action might be taken to pro tect its interests against such unwarrant able attacks."

"I wonder If Tommy Bums remembers the night he Jumped out of a window to dodge me," Mike Pchreck remarked last night while discussing the presence In the city of Tommy Hums, the Pacific AthletlO club's home-made champion. Mike and Tommy are old ring rivals and Mike is anxious to get another chance at the Loa Angeles star. "Not long ago, while we were both In Los Angeles, Tom McCarey couldn't decide which one of us hs liked the better," Mike continued. "He said If we would make a match and fight he would keep the winner and make a star of htm. Burns wouldn't listen to It and then McCarey took him into a lde room and talked to him. ' "Later McCarey came out of the room alone and said it was all off. I waited for Burns to come out, but he didn't do so. Then I went and looked In the room. It was empty, but a window, the only way a man tmild have got out, was wide open. Now, whst do ydu think of that?" Mike said he would like to have met Bums and talked over that and a few other Incidents of their previous meetings, "I licked him and he never licked me and never could," Mike continued.

POLITICAL AFFAIRS RECEIVE ATTENTION Candidates Bhonld Have Right to Prosecute Contests Withoat Con sent of Attorney General of the State. A LB ANT, N. T., Jan. 2. Governor Charles K. Hughes in his first message to the legislature made the following recom mendations: A' recount of the votes cast for mayor In the New York city election In 1906, when on tha face of the returns Hearst was de feated by Ueorge B. McClelian: that the courts be empowered to order a recount summarily In the future and that the power to Drlng an action to try a title to office De taken from the attorney general and con ferred upon the supreme court. The adoption of a new ballot whereupon tho name of a candidate will appear but once. That the amount of money which a can didate may expend to procure his election w umiiea. That the courts be emtowered to review the acts of political state conventions and state committees in expelling delegates and memners. That any general committee of a party may adopt rules for direct nominations of candidates at primaries. rnat tne state Hoard or FMlroan com missioners and the Commission of Qas and Electricity be abolished and a new board be constituted with power to enforce its orders through the courts- Hearst Incident I'nfortanate. On the Hearst recount matter the gov ernor said: It Is a matter of the gravest concern that the view should be larcclv. even thous-h erroneously, held hat one who has been elected to office has been deprived of his seal mrougn invalid returns. The ratlure to obtain a summary recount through a de fect In the law has aggravated the sense of Injustice. Referring to the lack of any limitation upon the authority of political state con ventions and state committees arbitrarily to exclude honestly elected delegates and members and. the fact that the fraudulent or corrupt action of suoh a convention or committee cannot be reviewed or corrected by any court, the governor declared that "minorities should not be permitted to make themselves majorities by the arbi trary aelsure of political organizations nor through corruption or dishonest methods and the courts should be vested with ample power to review in a summary manner all auch abuses and to restore to defrauded persons the political rights to which they are justly entitled."
