CLEMENCEAU IS IN CHARGE
Premier Returns to France and
Take X'p Moroccan
Situation.
PARIS, Aug. 26. Premier Clemenceau,
who returned from Carlsbad and Munich
today, has assumed active direction cf the
Moroccan situation, which developed during
his absence. He conferred with Foreign
Minister Plchon, War Minister Plcquart
and Minister of Marine Thomson, who
met htm st the station, and tomorrow will
see President Fallleres.
The Journal Des Debats. In an editorial
as to the effect of M. Clemenceau's re
turn on the Moroccan situation, says: "He
knows the sentiments of sovereigns and the
dispositions of tha chancellors. He ought
to know that politics today not only are
most uncertain, but also most costly, and
that calm and conservatism are essential."
Advices received today from Casablanca
show no change In the situation. The troops
are anxious for a decisive engagement with
the tribesmen, but France's determination
not to penetrate far Into the country pre
vents pursuits of the fanatics and results
In a waiting game. Meantime the state of
Morocco's Internal affairs Is growing worse.
Veritable chaos reigns and the government
has degenerated Into a mere mock adminis
tration. Mulal Haflg. the newly proclaimed sultan,
who is reported to be marching toward the
coast to flgl.t the French' and Spanish
troops, has appointed a ministry, a member
of which is Muld Sldl Mohammed, another
brother of the actual sultan, who is now
held a prisoner by the sultan at Fes.
Ralsull controls his own region and the
pretender rules northeast Morocco. The
sultan Is not sure of his own followers and
anarchy pervades the empire. The littoral
towns are tranquil because of the presence
of foreign warships, but Rabat Is reported
to be constantly menaced by. tribesmen
who are ready to swoop down upon It at
the first opportunity. . Europeans dars not

TANGIER, Aug. 28. Tha report that the
French cruiser Du Chayla has captured a

ment and will take them to Mogador.
MADRID, Aug. 26. The newspapers
have agreed that there Is a difference of

government's attitude In Morocco. While
certain ministers endorse tha course that Is
being pursued, others. It is alleged, claim
that the role created by the Algeclras con
ference differs from that actually being
played by Spain. According to the liberal
premier, Maura announced to Die members
of the cabinet that Spain would take the
offensive only If Its troops were directly
attacked and that otherwise It would rest
merely as a spectator qf the Internal con
flicts that are rending' Morocco, and of
what France does if the troops of tha

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. 2B.-fflpec!al.)-The State
Railway commission has been listening all
day to testimony and argument In the
case wherein the Marshall Oil company,
the National Refining company and the
National Petroleum company are asking for
an order reducing rates on oil. It Is the
contention of these people that oil rates
In Nebraska are In excess of the rates on
oil in other states, and Inasmuch as the
Standard Oil company has tank lines out
In the state It cannot compete with it and
therefore there Is little competition In oil
In Nebraska. On the other hand the rail
road attorneys assert a comparison of rates
in Nebraska with other states is not proper
because different conditions exist; that the
rates of Kansas and Iowa cannot be taken
as a basis because they were not made
voluntarily by the railroads, but were made
In Kansas by the legislature and in Iowa
by a railroad commission, and the railroads
were forced to put them Into effect. Both
sides admitted It was Impossible to tell
when rates on a single commodity were Just
because the cost of hauling a single com
modity could not be figured, so therefore a
rate on a commodity was a guess and the
representatives of the independent oil com
panlea argued tha guess was usually plenty
high.
The representative of the Marshall Oil
company. Attorney Lockwood, claimed to
reduce the oil rata would reduce the price
of oil to consumers. On Cross-examination
It was. brought out oil would be about
1 to IH cents a gallon cheaper, though it
was not proven tha consumer would get the
benefit. The railroads charged the Mar
shall Oil company merely wanted a low
rate so as to build up a large central dis
tributive station in Lincoln and thus shut
out all of the smaller distributive stations
out In the state. Lockwood admitted he
only wanted the rate In and out of Lincoln.
It was brought out by the railroads that
tha rate to Chadron from Peoria is M
cents for 100 pounds of oil; from Peoria to
Lincoln it is 27 cents; from Lincoln to
Chadron it is 67 cents, making the 'com
bination of rates M cents, or S cents more
than the through rate. To put In the rate
asked for the railroads said would reduce
the rate from Lincoln to Chadron to
cents, making the combination rate 43 cenU
from Peoria. This would give an advan-
tage to tha Marshall Oil company of 26
cents.
Attorney Lockwood represented the Mar
shall OH company; C. P. Chamberlain of
Cleveland, the associated Independent com
panies. The following railroad men were
here: C. C. Wright, attorney, and Bob
McGlnnls, general agent, of the North
western; James Kelby. attorney, and C. El
Spens of the Burlington; Charles Clapp,
attorney, and Charles Lane of the Union
Pacific; W. H. Orr of the Atchison fof the
Missouri Pacific; J. L. Kennedy of Sioux
City for the Great Northern.
C D. Bolts, a witness for the oil com
panics, testified that It waa possible to
tell the cost of shipping one commodity
and further that not only oil rates were
too high In Nebraska, but all other rates,
He had been rate clerk for years and Is
now the traffic manager ef the Independent

Fight la Hanging; Fire.
The fight between the secretary of state
and the university regents is Just hanging
fire and it will be up to the regents to
either appeal to the supreme court or for
them to file their vouchers with the state
auditor before the employes get any
money. Incidentally, the refussl of the
regents to file their vouchers In the office
of the stato auditor is of comparatively
recont date, the State Journal, official
apologist for the regents, to the contrary
notwithstanding. Secretary of State Junkln
today inspected a number of vouchers filed
by the regents prior to 1897. These con
talned not only the certificate as filed now,'
but in .addition the claim filed by the
claimant, and Indorsed by the secretary of
atate and the state audltur. These claims
were not sworn to, but were signed by
tha claimants. When Tom Benton waa
auditor the regents objected to filing vouch
ers and he compelled the claimants to sign
the claims tn his presence in his office be
fore he Issued the warrants. The vouchers
then used by the regents were the same as
those filed by the heads of other state
Institutions and were audited Just the
same. In 1897 the legislature changed the
law relating to vouchers and setting out
a form providing claims shall be sworn,
to. This did not Include the university
vouchers. The supreme court prior to this
hsd practically knocked out the law per
mitting the regents to draw money on
certificates when it refused to mandamus
the auditor to compel him to draw a war
rant to pay a claim made by a resident ot
Germsny which had not been properly
vouchered. In 1897 the present statute was
enacted, providing the auditor shall Issue
his warrants upon certificates filed by the
regents. An agent of the regents has in
formed the auditor that certificates " are
Issued prior to the signing of vouchers.
Auditor Bearle, who Is out In the state,
has telephoned to Deputy Cook to stsnd
pat and not Issue any warrants nor touch
the flies.
The publication of this controversy be
tween the auditor and regents may result
In correcting some evils around the
auditor's office In which the regents are
not concerned. State officers have drawn
their pay frcm the auditor In advance.
Incidents of this kind are few and far
between, but recently one officer secured
his monthly salary a few days after he
went to work, swearfng he had earned the
money.
Batter eta Tto Advice.
Dan Butler, city clerk of Omaha, was
here today to aee Attorney General Thomp
son. Mr. Butler wanted an opinion regard
ing the right of the voters of Omaha to
nominate candidates for the Board of Edu
cation at a primary and whether he could
go ahead and print the ballots, as there Is
a seeming discrepancy In the primary law.
The attorney general said Inasmuch as the
question was purely a local one ha would
not give out en opinion. The same oues-
Itlon applies to Lincoln, but as the force in
the city clerk's office is out campaigning
It was impossible to find anyone around

Tha new order of the Union Pacific rail
road prohibiting holders of l-cent-a-mlla
tickets from riding on their fast trains in
Nebraska except for Interstate distances
has caused, a strong protest to coma from

lodged with tha Nebraska Railway com
mission about the order, the leading com
plainant being L. P. Sine of Lincoln, rep
resenting the Carpenter Paper company of
Omaha. He, with ten others of tha com
mercial travelers, are determined to test
the order on tha theory that a common

IKHMO.I PREACHED TO 1XDIAMS
Interesting; ' Service Held at Their
Convocation.
VALENTINE, Neb.. Aug. . (Special.)
Sunday wss a great day at the Chris
tian Indian convocation of tha Episcopal
church of the diocese of South Dakot
and one long to be remembered by the
Indians as well as the whites. The
weather was superb op to about o'clock,
when a thunderstorm cams up, making
all seek shelter. The two bishops, the
priests, native and white, the laymen
and catechlsts, vested in the chapel, and
then, with the Indians, each tribe with
Its own banner, formed In a long pro
cession, abont J, BOO in all, and marched
to the pavllllon, where at f:S0 o'clock a
service with the celebration of the holy
communion was held. Bishop Coadjutor
Frederick Foots Johnson, D. P., delivered
the sermon at this service. He took Ms
text from the gospel according to St.
John, xv:14, "Ye are my friends. If ye'
do whatsoever I command you." It was a
masterful address,' given eloquently, but
plainly, so that all the Indians might
understand. He cautioned them to be
honest and upright In all their dealings;
to be true to their fellowmen and to
their God, and, even though the whlta
man may resort to tricks and schemes
to cheat the red man, not to hold a bit
ter feeling against the white man, but
rather one of pity, for the- white man
in reality is the loser, not the Indian.
He spoke of baptism 'as the essential
thing towards salvation. It was an Im
pressive sight to see the hundreds of
Indians advance and receive holy bread
and wine. '
At 2 o'clock this afternoon a mass meet
ing of the babies' branch was held in the
pavilion. At 2:30 a general assembly
was held and at 3 o'clock a confirmation
service was held by Bishops Hare and
Johnson, assisted by some of tho priests.
At 3:30 the woman's .meeting was con
tinued. A service In English was to have
been held at 6 o'clock, but Just at that
time a terrific thunder and windstorm
came up, which grew in proportions, so
that communication was cut oft and It
Is feared considerable damage was done.
The service this morning was aald
partly in Dakota and partly In English.
This evening at T o'clock a baptism was
held In the stone chapel.

BULLETIN
NEBRASKA
TELEPHONE
COMPANY
"When you are given a connection from
a telephone station of the Nebraska Tele
phone Company you are given an exclusive
use to the talk-track between yourself and
your correspondent. Even though the track
over which you send your voice is merely
a fine copper wire, the amount of property
which is devoted to your sole use during
your talk is considerable. In a paper read
before the Insurance Society of New York,
Mr. C. J. II. Woodbury said, "When a per
son uses a long distance telephone a large
amount of property is at his exclusive
service. For instance, in speaking from
Boston to Omaha, as one business firm
does every morning, the value of the frac
tion of line and apparatus at their sole dis
posal is, at the present price of copper,
over $283,000, while it requires the sevice
of nine operators at the switchboards at
various points along the line. The weight
of this copper is one million, one hundred

sixty-five and one-half tons.
In its field the Nebraska Telephone

SUCCESS

FAILURE
A chronological review of a typical in
dependent telephone enterprise is given by
the Rochester Times from which the fol
lowing significant items are taken:
1905, October 9 United States Independ- '
ent Telephone Company officially launch
ed, authorized capita $50,000,000.
; 1905, December 11 U. S. I. "securities",
listed on stock exchange, start selling
at 80 for bonds and 50V2 for stock.
1906, Summer U. S. I. T. Company failed
to sell sufficient bonds and got into
financial difficulties in spite of unusu
ally heavy contracts.
1906, October Company borrowed $2,500,-
000 at about 16 per cent. Negotiations
originated by George Eastman to sell .
U. S. L'T. Company to the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
1907, January 28 Bell offer formally ad
vertised without names of purchasers,
who were denied being Bell men or in-:
terests. U. S. I. bonds and stocks turned
into Security Trust Company on the
Bell offer.
' 1907, February 27 Attorney-General

took evidence in Albany on alleged ille
gal combination in restraint of "trade;

agents and U. S. I. men. 4
1907, March 18 Attorney-General Jack
son concluded hearing in New York be
fore Referee Joseph1 A. Law son.
1907, April 1 U. S. I. Company defaulted
on bond interest.
The Times might continue ' its ; history
and tell that the deal was declared off and
that a otrenuous effort was made in. the
early summer to sell the bonds to other
' parties at 40 cents on the dollar.
The unfortunate circumstances which
contributed ; to this notable fiasco, might
cause the failure of many a legitimate en-;
terprise, but it was over-capitalization
which caused an irreparable loss to many
small investors. There is a moral in thia
. history for the promoters , of the new
Omaha Company which promises to make
6,000 telephones earn fixed - charges on
; $3,000,000 "capitalization; f
east tn, nest for roid purposes. Twenty-
