NATIONAL LAWS THE ONES OonmMioaftl Arts, Olirk Think t, Btoe ary to Ratnedvfiailroad Evils. 80UBTS EXPEDIENCY OF STATE LAWS Fight Betweea roniniiHUi for Shade at Adrnm la tS Hatter of Rallroaa Facilities. "In tbesa Anym of great commercial aotlv Hy, when one community striving to ob tain lomi advantage over another other than la given It by Its geographical posi tion, there ars sure to ba complaints be fore the Interstate Commerce commission, and when thane complaints are being filed as fast as old complaints can be hoaro, there Is not much prospect of ever clearing up the docket," said E. E. Clark of the Interstate Commerce commission Monday at the Paxton hotel. Mr. Clark was In Omaha to hear the complaint of the Grain exchange against the Union Pacific Rail road company for raining the charge for transporting grain from Council Bluffs to Omaha. "Each community strives to gain an advantage, and when that is gained the other cities have a complaint, and that must be heard." "In speaking of the car shortage which Is prevalent all over the country and espe cially In the northwest, Mr. Clark says: "Everybody blames the railroads for not naving enough cars and they have not, but who was far-sighted enough to see the great wave of prosperity which continues to sweep over this country. What other line of business Is prepared to handle all the business which is offered? All those lines which Increase are finally dependent noon the railroads for transportation. Where are the large commercial Interests which were prepared for all the business which Is being thrust at them?" When asked if he thought the reciprocal demurrage bill which Is now before the Nebraska legislature would help out on the car situation, Mr. Clark said: "I don't want to b considered as Inter fering with local conditions or laws, but It seems to me these minor laws enacted by the states will not have the desired effect. The remedy Is, rather In national laws, for most of the roads are Interstate, and when a state enacts such a law It, In all probability, will not conform to th laws of Its neighbor state." . Mr. Clark said he had a few days be tween the Omaha hearing and one which Is scheduled In Chicago for later In the week, and he would .try to spend the time at his home in Cedar Rapids. FIVE WEEKS ARE TOO MUCH Mora Than Enoagh of Married Life far Mrs. Joseph F. Wlrth, She Says. Fire weeks of married life was more than enough for Emma Wlrth, who was married to Joseph F. Wlrth in South Omaha Jan uary t, 1907, and she applied to the district court Monday for a divorce. She alleges that on January 18 her husband took her to hie farm In Knox county, and although It was cold he refused to build a fire or to supply anything to eat. The following day be was sick and he laughed at her and aid aha was just pretending. On January 23 she says he killed a chicken and brought it Into the house and asked her to cook It, saying it was so old he was afraid It might die, and It would be better to eat It than to have It die on his hands. When she was eating an apple one day, he alleges, he reproached her, declaring that apples were worth money and that potatoes were good enough to eat In win ter. One morning, she alleges, he ordered her to get up early and "bake some of her leather biscuits." lie repeatedly reminded her he was sorry he had married her and aid if he had it to do again he would re main single. Under this treatment, she says, she could not live, and returned to South Omaha on January 30, her husband seeming, she says, rather pleased to see her go. She says he Is worth $12,500 free of en cumbrance and she asks alimony. JIM PERRY TRIAL AT END elf-Defense ta the Plea Ma a Aeeased of Mirier, of fho The trial of Jim Perry on the charge of murder waa completed In the district court before Judge Troup Monday morning and the rest of the day waa taken up in argu ment. Samuel Robinson and Lincoln Brad ley, colored employes of the packing rouse where the murder took place, testified Mon day morning. The testimony of both was to the effect that Perry had struck the blow Which' resulted In the death of Seldlek In aelf-defense. . The 'defense made vigorous, objections to questions asked by County Attorney Eng lish watch tended to impeach the state ments' made by the defendant. Perry on the stand was asked whether he had not stated to the chief of police and other offi cers that he had picked up the gambrel tick while Seldlek was stooping down and had struck the white man on the back of the head while he was In that position. Judge Troup overruled the objection of the defense and allowed Perry to answer. He denied that he had made such statements. No previous malice has been shown to 'have existed between Perry and his victim. The entire day was spent In argument to the jury, and at B o'clock the jury was dismissed to report again Tuesday, when the argument will be completed. DR.
