DO NOT LIKE IDEA Of DISTANCE TARIFF Ala Object to Local Agents Making Reports to the Cmmlialn, feat Want Them to Coma Fro a Htaber Officers. (From a Staff Correspondent.) UXl'ULN, Way ". (Special.) Tha State I.allway commission began the session this morning which la to terminate with the adoption of rate schedules for every rail road in Nebraska. Besides the commission and employes there was present the largest array of railroad talent ever assembled in Lincoln, except on special legislative oc casions. Tha discussion at all times was informal and was mora of the nature of an experience meeting or an educational stunt. No definite action was taken by the commission Inasmuch as Member Clarke was absent and nothing; will be done toward making rates until his return to tha city. Among; the railroad men who were here were the following: Burlington L. W. Wakeley, general pas senger agont; J. K. Kelhy and C. E, 8 pens. Union Pacific John N. Baldwin, reneral Solicitor; Ocrrlt Fort, assistant general pas senger agent. J. A. uunroc, freight trantc .manager; j. iowa, A. w. Bcrlbner, R. 4. Clancy and Oeorge Holcomb. Northwestern Hen T.

Guild, aecretary Omaha Commercial club; Secretary Whltten of the Lincoln Commercial club and Speaker Nettleton, who cajme in for a few moments. Disease Report to Commission. The morning session was devoted ex clusively to the railroad men and the aft ernoon session to the express companies' representatives. The entire railroad dis cussion hinged on the report which the Commission has requested the station agents of all the roads to make each week. Tha railroad men seemed to be a unit In objecting to the station agents' reporting j . direct to tha commission. They held that ; tha auditor and the general superintendent should sign all such reports. Discussing the proposition of reporting through agents the line charges In the state In carload I lots and smsller quantities, the railroad men said this would be an Impossibility, because the local agents did not have this Information, but that on through ship ments tne rate man employed by the com mission wouia De aDie lo ngtire out ims j Information for all shipments to any point In the state. Regarding the number of , cars on hand to be reported by the local i agents or the train dispatchers, the rail- j road men wanted this information to come through" the general superintendent. On f general principles they objected to that" ' section of the requested weekly report, j because they did not want a local em- , ploy of the company to sign reports to . be filed with the commission. Chairman ' Wlnnett ' asked about the practicability of making a fiat mlleaga rate on freight and was answered by Mr. Munroe. This Is what the Commerclnl j club of Lincoln haa been discussing for j some time, because It alleges the rail- roads discriminate against Lincoln In i favor of Omaha because of the Missouri river case rate. Mr. Munroe declared that while the "rate Into Lincoln was 3 cents more than the rate into Omaha on a cer " tain class of freight Lincoln and all other jobbing towns was given a rate out based en the in-rate, and thus Lincoln and all other jobbing towns In the state were able trj compete with Omaha In sending out goods. It gives Grand Island, Hastings and other towns, he said, an equrxl chance to sell goods west of those nlaces that Omaha has. In discussing rates in general Mr. Mun roe said it was the object of a railroad company to build up the atatea through which it ran its line and frequently cer tain rates were given which, though build ing up certain sections, did not Injure any other section. A rate made strictly on mileage would in many instances do great harm and would not materially ben- eiit any other section. All of the rall-T roaa men seemed to be of the -lame opin ion. During the discussion only a few of ths railroad, representatives did any talking. First Formnl Complaint.

The coats of Frank Dewey .and Roscoe Wort man, who disappeared from home on the 28th of last December, have been found under a culvert of the Burlington track near the point where 6alt creek empties Into the Platte river. ' These two young men went skating on Pawnee creek on that date and disappeared and, notwith standing tha vigilant search of their par ents, have never been discovered.

At the time many people thought the boys had been drowned In Pawnee creek, aa the day waa warm and the ice soft. The finding of the coats under the culvert again leads to the belief that the boys were drowned rather than that they ran away. 335 customers.

The dedicatory exercises for the Mary Young Men's Christian association being held this week are being; well attended by the pub lic Monday night the entertainment was In charge of the Matinee Music club, and Tuesday night Hon. N. K. Griggs guve a program of music and eong. The program for the week is as follows: Wednesday Evening Reception In the Young Men's Christian association building. Thursday evening Concert by the Bea trice Military band. Friday livening Gymnasium exhibition by the 1-lnei In assorlHtion team. v Saturday Evening Home talent play. Sunday Afternoon Mass meeting, and In the evening dedication exerclaes. The Mary Young Men's Christian associ ation Is located In the Wolfe-Bartllng building, fronting on Court street It was built and equipped for about $50,000 and is one of the finest In the state. The move ment for the association j had Its Inception In a meeting of the Beatrice Ministerial association, held on November 4, 1901, when the need of such an organisation was recog nized and discussed. After a number of conferences at which State Secretary Bailey waa present, a committej comprising Rev. W. H. K earns. C. B. Dempster, J. C. Brink worth, J. H. von Steen and Dr. J. S. Mc Cleary was appointed In April, 1932, to thoroughly canvass the situation. The first steps towards a permanent or ganisation were taken the following March during the annual convention of the state Young Men's Christian association which was held here. A provisional committee was appointed, with members from each of the churches, and to these men is largely due the credit of the firm basis on which the local association rests today. j The first officers elected were: C. R. ' Dempster, president; W. H. Mahannah.t j vice president; J. H. von Steen, treasurer; jr. A.. Miner, secretary, i ne Doara 01 di rectors were: C. 8. Black. W. C. Black, Jr., W. H. Mahsnnah, Charles Neidhart. R. M. Hood. J. S. McQIeery. J. H. von Bteen. H. Fishbach, E. F. Nelson, E. Smith, C. B. Dempster, H. J. Dobbs, J. R. Splcer, A. H. Felch and F. A. Miller. Ths building was constructed under the supervision of the late C. M. Hemler. Much of the work has been donated, and this necessarily made progress slow. Ths entrance to the building leads into ths lobby, In which will be reading tables, game tables, a piano, shuffleboard, etc The women's parlor Is on the first floor and will be used during open' meetings. It was furnished by the Young People's Social union. The physical training de partment Is also on the first floor. On ths tecond floor Is the gymnasium, thoroughly equipped with all modern apparatus. The front rooms are occupied by offices. The third floor has twenty-two apartments for men, and It Is thought there will be a con stant demand for these, as the accommo dations offered are excellent. It Is ex pected that the present association will be self-supporting. Fred Metts, the secretary. Is a graduate of the International Young Men's Chris tian Association Training schools of Spring field, Mass., and he has had much prac tical experience In this work. Beatrice clttzens are proud of this great and grow ing Institution and wV do all In their power to give It the s f -port It so Justly deserves. School Meetlnsj nt Stremshnrar. BTROM8BCRG, Neb..

The gen eral complaint was that the schools did not fit the pupils and the primary cause alleged for this unfortunate result was the teaching of some branches of study wholly abstract, such as the dead language; other branches too much In the abstract Instead of In the concrete and hence natural way, and the omission of Industrial studies manual training and agricultural and domestic science, altogether. The general consensus of opinion was that the much useless matter In text books should be Ig nored; that teaching should be largely from object lesslont; that present high school courses should be made elective, and that Industrial training should be added as rapidly as possible. Upwards of a hun dred teachers and patrons were present. UNIDENTIFIED MAX KILLS HIMSELF Cats His Throat While la Train Hear Falls t'ltys FALL8 CITY, Neb..
