LINCOLN, June 16 8pclal Telegram.)
LINCOLN, June 15. (Special Telegram.)
Anticipating the action of the railroads of
Nebraska, Attorney General W. T. Thomp
son, shortly before midnight last night, filed
an Injunction suit In the supreme court of
the state asking that the Union Paelflo,
Burlington, 'Missouri Paelflo and Rock
Island railroads be enjoined from violating
the 2-cent fare law, the commodity rate law.
the anil-free pass law, and from dofylng
or Ignoring orders of the State Railroad
commission. It Is believed the suit was In
stituted for the purpose of getting the laws
mentioned before the state courts before tho
railroads seek to test them In the federal
courts. Attorneys say the court that first
gets jurisdiction will. In all probability,
hold jurisdiction. If this holds good. In
stead of the laws of the last legislature be
Ing sot aside by Injunction In the federal
court at the request of the railroads, tho
principal railroads In the state will find
themselves enjoined from Interfering with
the enforcement of railroad legislation ex
cept In the state courts. The filing of tho
suit gives the supreme court of Nebraska
Jurisdiction over the subject matter.
Sheriff Reaa served summons on the local
agents representing the roads that aro mad
defendants.
The 2-cent fare law la now In force. The
maximum rate law goes Into effeot July ft.
The attorney general will be able to go Into
court at any time, under tbe application
made, and ask for either a temporary or
permanent Injunction.
Allegations ot Petition.
The petition alleges that the railroads
threaten to put Into effect a rate higher
than the 8-cent fare law unless restrained,
that the maximum rate law which makes
a reduction to 8ft per cent of the rates
charged January 1 on live stock, pota
toes, grain, grain products, fruit, coal,
lumber and building material will be vio
lated and greater rates put into effect and
Is neglecting to prepare schedules based
on the law; that the defendants have Is
sued passes and will Issue passes contrary
to the terms of the anti-free pass law and
give discriminatory rates; that the defend
ants have defied tho orders of the 'railroad
commission of the state and denied It
authority to regulate Interstate rates, both
passenger and freight, and. have concealed
from the commission and from the publio
the condition of the defendant's business
and refused to disclose tho true condition.
Fro,m doing these things enumerated, the
attorney general asks that the roads bo
enjoined and restrained.

la not the way of tho dandelion. Courage

PALMER? MdCKS OUT FAKE
States Facts of Situation at Santa

' i. -
SOLDIERS NCTf HIJBT IN FEEDING
Aro Supplied ylta Good Food ana
. Have All the Tina They Want
la Which to Eat vhe
Same.
"1 have been" somewhat entertained,
amused and aggravated with tho lurid
story that has been sent out from Santa
Monica, Cal., relative to the alleged puz
sling problems confronting ' the National
Board of Managers,' for the Home for Dis
abled Volunteer Soldiers as a result of
the recent visit of the board to the Santa
Monica home," said Postmaster Henry E.
Palmer, member of the board.
The story, as I learn. Is that on our
recent annual Inspection tour of the
homes, and particularly of the Santa
Monica home, the beard was much per
turbed over- the evil results accruing to
the old veterans from rapld-flre eating In
the forty Institutions under the control
of the board. In which more than 66,000
veterans three times a day swarm around
the bounteously supplied tables and are
required to absorb the meal In thirty
minutes, but the veterans usually dln-
poae of the provender In eight minutes,
and hence emerge from the dining room
wondering why they are losing their ap
petites, and that they are all suffering
more or less from stomach troubles and
all that sort of rot.
Barroa of Trath.
"The story Is deficient of truth In sev
eral material particulars. In the first
place, the board has under its control
but nine soldiers' homes, and only 16,668
veterans are now accredited Inmates of
these homes, while In fact 5,000 or 8,000
of them aro away on leave most of the
time. The rule for the six years In which
I have been a member of the board Is
.that In all Instances the crippled veterans
enter the dining rooms first. With tho
second bell tho others corns In and take
their places at the dining tables, there
being a specific place for each Inmate at
the home. When all aro at tho tables
the signal Is given, all become seated and
the meal progresses. They are permitted
to eat as long as they feel disposed to
and are not hurried in the slightest de
gree. It is possible In a few rare In
stances that some of the old veterans
are afflicted with chronic '' stomach
troubles, but none of these originate from
their dietary In the homes. During the
entire six years of my connection with
the board I havo not heard of any epi
demic of ,stomach-troubles more -than
would occur under the most ordinary cir
cumstances In any community. The story
Is an absolute absurdity and Is ground
less In fact,- and I am at a loss to under
stand why it should ever have been put
In circulation, unless to create a preju
dice against the soldiers' homes in gen
eral. There has been no epidemic of
stomach troubles In the homes nor have
the surgeons or hospital heads been
called upon to care for any such alleged
maladies as a -result of over eating by
the veterans in the various soldiers'
homes."
