The wanton murder of Anton Kaspar,
supposedly by a colored cocaine (lend and
the multiplicity of minor crimes traceable
to the drug habit, have Inspired City Prose
cutor Daniel to an effort at checking- the
. distressing increase of this dangerous traffic'
in which certain drug stores la the vhaObwy
section Of Omaha, engage upon such large
lines. .
' AN case in polio court Wednesday
prompted Immediate action. Ed Bextel,
proprietor of the drug store at Twelfth and
Dodge streets, Was arretted on -a complaint
sworn to by Daniel Wednesday morning.
Police court was continued until long after
the? usual hour hi order that the druggist
might be taken Into court and arraigned
Immediately. Bextel asked for time and the
case was set for hearing at o'clock Thurs
day morning, with bonds at $100.

The case which drove Prosecutor- Daniel
to take the action and Judge Crawford to
prolong the' court session was that of
George Williams, who was arrested at t
o'clock BUtti morning by Patrolman Lahey
as a suspicious character. Williams told
Judge Crawford1., his desire for the "coke"
Was so great he waa obliged to leave his
' horn at JefJEerson street, South Omaha,
and. a no cars -were running, walk to
Omaha In order to buy 6 cents', worth of the

t After the closer of court Williams was
given Ms .empty ;Jcoke" box and sent to
Baxter ft store with, two witnesses, who saw
him hand the box over the counter with 10
cents' and 'have it-returned to him filled
without a word belug said. The same per
formance was gone through with at Frank
Yi Fogg's drug store at Twelfth street and
Capitol avenue and he will be included in
the crusade against the evil In Omaha. Sev

(From a Btsff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June U Special. r The . su
preme court this afternoon ei!rmed the or
der of Judge Holmes of the district court
for a Jury trial, to determine the sanity of
Frank Barker and staying the execution of
the death sentence which would have been
carried out next Saturday. Attomoy Gen
eral Thompson contended that the district
court had no authority to Issue a stay of
execution until a Jury had returned a ver
dict finding Barker Insane? and that no
court had authority to set a new date for
the hanging If a stay of execution Is issued,
Ths district court will begin the jury trial
June 3. The order of the supreme court
Is In this form:
The hecord shows that upon evidence be
fore the Judge nf the district court he found
that the d-fenlant appeared to be Insane
and thereupon ordered thst the question
of his sanity be submitted to a Jury pur
suant to sections 4M and 5.VI and succeeding
sections of the criminal code. Under the
statutes the Inquiry as to the sanity nf the
convict Is committed largely to the discre
tion of the Judge of t lie district court of
the county In which the prison Is located
and to whom the application is made. In
his discretion he has power to stsy the
execution of sentence when the proper m-i
vent Ian Hon as to the sanity of the convict
makes such stsy absolutely necessary, and
must be proper St the hearing If the oon
vlct Is found to be sane, to tlx the precise
limits of such stay of execution. The order
of the district court Is therefore affirmed.
State Funds to Get lllaher Interest
State Treasurer L. O. 'Brian has notltled
state depository banks-that he will require
the payment of S per cent interest Instead
of S per cent. He explains that he makes
this Increase because be believes money
Is worth 9 per cent, and that he has on
file many applications from good banks
that are willing to pay the Increased rate.
During the last blennlum the state col
lected $18,700 Interest on its cash deposits in
banks. Under the new rate the same
amount of money would net the state $$,S.0
more. All state funds not Invested In se
curities are 'kept in doposltory banks and
the Interest goes to the state. There Is now 4
$K1,000 in seventy-six state depositories. Of
that amount (325,000 Is in banks outside
of Omaha and Lincoln and none of this
money haa been drawn on during the last
six months. The state deposits amount to
a time deposit, under the method employed
by the state terasurer In drawing on them,
and as banks pay from i to 4 per cent
Interest on deposits. Treasurer Brian be
lieves the state should demand per cent.
The country banks hove had the limit al
lowed under their bonds, but th treasury
has received such large collections during
the last six- months that It has been neces
sary to plaqe from $10,000 to $2,000 more
than the limit In each of the depositories in
Omaha and Lincoln. The treasurer has a
chocking accountwlth the Omaha and
Lincoln banks.

Chang In Report Forms Wanted.
Officials from the operating and account
ing departments appeared this afternoon to
dlMuss with the railway commission the
form of weekly and monthly report to be
made by their lines on cars, freight ton
nage handled at stations and charges upon
the same, together with receipts from pas
senger ticket sales at each station.
When General Solicitor John N. Baldwin
of the Union Pacific a week ago vocifer
ously asserted that his road couldn't pos
sibly furnish the Information wanted even
If it should fill up Its whole office with
clerks and work them overtime, the spokes
men of several roads who appeared at to
day's hearing said It would be very little
trouble to make the reports. All they had
to urge was that the blank, forms be
slightly changed so that the accounting
departments could supply accurate data,
on which the commission would be. able to
base a Judgment of the conditions affecting
transportation at any given time.
O. L. Dickson, assistant superintendent
of transportation for the Burlington, made
the first talk, stating that the proposed
form of weekly car report would necessi
tate some changes In the system of ac
counting used by his road, though it would
not call for any radical departures from
the prosent methods. He stated, further
more, that the Union Pacific system was
very much like the Burlington's. He
thought the roads would be willing to make
the reports, but suggested a few altera
tions. It was proposed by Dlckerson and other
railroad representatives to drop out ' the
item of "box cars loading at stations."
C. H. Reynolds of. the Northwestern was
of the opinion that this was an Important
feature, as showing up the ability of the
roads to handle their' traffic 'An agreement
was finally reached to Include such cars
as "empties."
One of ths most Important question dis
cussed waa whether grain1 hilled front a
Nebraska station to Omaha and then to
Chicago should be called a state or an In
terstate shipment. On th interstate ship
ment the Nebraska lines receive a smaller
proportion of the total cost of transporting
the grain to Chicago and consequently ,th
question has bearing, on earnings and
rates to b charged.
Another discussion took pla.es over the
Item of "cars expected from other lines
east and west." Ther were several among
the transportation embassy who declared
that th best of Information possible to be
had on this subject would b very Inde
finite. They explained that cars In the
possession of another road might be ordered
and expected, but not delivered. On sug
gestion was made that the words "east and
west" b stricken out, as it would make no
difference wher .h cars might com
from, so long as thsy should be available.
Rat Expert Powell announced that the
Rock Island and the Minneapolis d Omaha
roads had filed their first weekly car re
ports for data of June K), according to the
form provided by th commission. H said
th statements as received were full and
satisfactory in every way. None of the
other roads hav reported ou cats.

Gold Dust cigar store st Wymore, was ar
rested yesterdsy on the cherse of maintain
ing card (ahles and permitting card play
ing In his place of business. It has King
been the custom of some of the most pr om
inent cltlsens of the town to spend a part
of their leisure hours In a sochil wsy In
this place, where cards wer played, not
for money, but for cigars. The present
odmliiiiit ration ordered this stopped, snd
since tliat time whatever playing was done
was for pastime only. A new ordinance was
recently passed making it a mtsdemeanor
to ellow card playing at all. and It was
under this ordlnsnoe that the arrest waa
made. The proliabllltie ar that th orvii
nanoe will be tested in the courts.
