THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
The Interstate Commerce commission has
reached a decision In the esse of the other
railroads against the Union Pacific in the
matter of an elevation allowance at the
Omaha terminal. The commissioners re
fuse to divulge the decision and no one In
Omaha claims to know what the decision
Is. The arguments were completed some
time ago and a ruling was expected before
this time. The Union Pacific maintains the
right to grant an allowance of H4 cents on
all grain which It hauls to the Omaha ele
vators and other roads have ceased to
grant this concession.
To hear the complaints Of the merchants
of Denver on freight rates on cotton goods
the Interstate Commerce commission will
meet In Denver next Monday. The com
planta are the rates to Denver from the
Atlantic seaboard are too high In compari
son with the rates from the seaboard to
California. George J. KIndel and the Mer
chants' TtafBo association are the com
plainants.
Freight Traffic Manager Monroe of the
Union Paclflo and Freight Traffic Manager
Crosby and General Freight Agent Spens
of the Burlington will attend tho meeting.
Great Western Tariff.
An Inspection of the Great Western's new
switching tariff, which goea Into effect
Thursday, shows one change In the plan
as originally announced by that road. The
tariff Is made to apply to all grain orlgl
natlng on the Great Western's own tines,
as well as other lines, though the road first
told the grain men It was on grain from
the other lines only. Beginning Thursday
the Oreat Western will switch free of
charge to Its own elevators In Omaha all
grain turned over to It at Council Bluffs
and will charge $2 a car for switching
grain to elevators not on Its own tracks
A peculiar Incident In connection with the
new tariff was that the local offices of all
other railroads received the sheets before
the Great Western local office got Its copies,
Rlarnell on Divisions.
Superintendent Blgnell of the Burlington
was In Omaha Wednssday consulting with
General Passenger Agent Wakeley In. ref
erence to some time changes on the north
west line.
"The change of divisions has not been
made as yet," said Mr. Blgnell, "all are
still being operated as part of the Lincoln
division.
"No complaints have been made at any
stations on the Lincoln division of the
Burlington in regard to a coal shortage.
Considerable coal has been moving lately
and most dealers who were short have
stocked up. The company keeps track of
all coal along the line, and if there Is
chance of a shortage the dealer Is sup
plied from the company's coal. The falling
off of business has given tha roads time
to catch up a little on cars and we are
now able to move promptly everything
which Is offered. We are not experiencing
any difficulty at present either from car
or power shortage."

BILL ALLOWS TOO MUCH POWER
Immigration Measure Objectionable
' to Jews Because of Physical
Disability Clause.
C. S. Elgutter, who, on bebalf of the In
dependent Order of B'nsl B'rith, wired
Congressman Kennedy regarding the Im
migration bill pending In congress, Wednes
day morning explained his purpose by say
ing that an attempt was being made to
pass Immigration laws which would work
an unjust hardship on many of the Russian
Jews wishing to settle In this country.
Mr. Elgutter believes the expression
"physical disability," In the bill allows the
Immigration officers too much latitude in
this respect ard some liberal Interpretation
should be allowed for some cases.
"IV Is proposed to rultve trie minimum
funds an Immigrant shall have to a figure
that would work a hardship on many Rus
sian Jew immigrants who have to dispose
of their chattels under , .pressing circum
stances." Mr. Elgutter said. ,
Mr. Elgutter has been .assured by Con

be made to have the bill modified so as to

One of the saddest cases of misfortune
and want brought to the attention of the
Associated Charities this season Involves
Mrs. Jane Jones of 113 North Nineteenth
street, the woman having been deserted by
her husband and left alone with a son said
to have neglected his mother, who recently
sustained a broken arm vand dislocated
shoulder.
Miss Riddle of the Associated Charities
Investigated the cae and promptly rec
ommended that assistance be given tho
woman. Miss Riddle's report is In sub
stance: About a year ago Jones deserted his wife,
leaving at home one son, 21 years of age.
The husband went from bad to worse down
the toboggan slide of strong drink. The
son fallowed suit and on various occasions
came home with his father, both Intoxi
cated. Mrs. Jones appealed to the police and
Jones was ordered to stay away from hi?
wife unless he could behave himself. Af
the son's contributions to the home becanv.
nioie scant each Saturday evening, Mrs
Jones' resources for gaining a livelihood
increased. Last summer thi raised garden

A month ago she broke her left arm. With
that arm still in a sling she dislocated
her shoulder. Being without funds she
called In a neighbor and managed to put the
dislocated joint back In place.
her Tniinht Hint to Drink.
"I have two sons in Minneapolis and a
married daughter in Omshs," Mis. Jones
told Miss Riddle, "but I did think the boy
I had left would not drink. His father
taught him to drink and that is all there
is to It," she added.
"You don't mean to ray the father taught
his own sou to drink?" Miss Riddle askd.
"Yes," responded the little mother, with
one arm In a sling and the other paining
her Intensely.
And the mother turned aside that tha
caller might not see the tears, but M'ss
Riddle afterward explained that' she had
seen so much of that side of Ufa that she
qulcklry appreciated what m.nner of grief
was breaking the henrt cf the mother.
Miss Riddle had a doctor call on Mrs.
Jones within a few hours. Before leaving,
the Associated Charities womun wanted
to brush the floors, but found them
scrupulously clean. In a moment of ab
stractirn Mies Riddle glanced at a photo
graph of a boy. Mrs. Jones noticed The
movement cf Miss Riddle's eyes.
With something of a smile between the
tears Mrs. Jones remarked. "He's my baby
boy, the others are all married und gone
away. He was a real good little boy once."
Miss Riddle changed the subject and
tried to cheer the mother's heart.
"The baby boy told his mother on sev
eral Saturday evenings that he was robbed
In saloons and had nothing to help support
the' little home with." Miss Riddle said.
' Mrs. Jones Is to have the kindliest at
tention from those who believe she Is
worthy of such service.

Conntry.
K. H. Haynes of Fort Collins, Colo., an
Irrigation expert and connected with the
bulldlng,f the big government ditch in
Scott's Bluff county, was a guest at the
Murray hotel Tuesday.
"I think the future of Irrigation In the
North Platte country Is not adequately
comprehended by you Nebraska people,"
said Mr. Haynes. "The government Irri
gation work up there is going to result In
the development of one of the richest ter
ritories In the whole west. I speak from
practical experience In Irrigation work
that has already been done In the vicinity
of Fort Collins and Greeley. Colo. Irri
gated lands are now selling there for 1200
per acre and far better lands exist In
Scott's Bluff, county, and that are more
easily Irrigated than a vast amount of
lands now under ditch In the vicinity of
Fort Collins and Greeley. The Pathfinder
dam now building west of Casper and the
network of government irrigation ditches
to be built down the North PUtte valley
Into western Nebraska will make the
North Platte country the garden spot of
the state and a very formidable competi
tor with the muph vaunted garden sections
of Colorado."
