CHICAGO. Oct. 26. Today' eslon of the National Civic Federation were given over to flve-mlnute talki by business men, who discussed the various topics Intro duced by the various speakers during ths last thre day, i The committee on resolutions presented its report as follows: "After twenty years of federal legisla tion, as Interpreted by the courts, directed against the evils of trusts and combination and against railroad rebates, beginning with tha Interstate commerce act of 187 and the anti-trust act of ISflO, a general and Just conviction exlsta that tho experi ence gained In enforcing these acta ai.J others succeeding them, demonstrstes tha necessity of legislation which shall render more sure the benefits already gained and better meet the changed conditions which have arisen during a long epoch of active progress, both In the enforcement of stat ute law and tn the removal of grave abuses In the management of railroads and cor porations. These changes now demanded are: "First Immediate legislation is required, following the recommendation of President Roosevelt and the Interstate Commerce commission, permitting agreements between railroad corporations on reasonable freight and passenger ratea, subject In all respects to the approval, supervision and action of the Interstate Commerce commission. . "Second The enforcement of the Sherman act and the proceedings under It during tho administrations of Presidents Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley and Roosevelt have accomplished great results In awakening ti.e moral senae Of the American people and in asserting th- supremacy and majesty of the law, thus effectually refuting tho Impression that great .-alth and large cor. poratlons were too powerful tor the impar tial execution of law. This great advance lias rendered more secure all property rights, resting, as they must, tinder a pop ular government, on universal respect for and obedience to, .the law. But now that this work Is accomplished. It has revealed the necessity for legislation whloh, shall alntain all that the Sherman act was In- ided' to secure and safeguard Interests was never expected to affocl. v Nonpartisan Commlostloau "As the next step in executing the deter mlnation of the American people to secure tn all Industrial and commercial relations Justice and equality1 of opportunity for all, with; full sympathy 'and loyal support for every effort to enforce the laws in the past, we urge upon congress without delay to pass legislation providing for a nonpartisan commission In which the Interests of cap Hal, of labor and of the general public shall be repreeented. This commission, like a similar commia ion. - which proved most successful m Germany in J0, shall consider the entire subject of business and Industrial combln tlons, and report such proposals as to ths ) formation, capitalisation, management and regulation of corporations (so far as the same may be subject to federal Jurisdic tion) as shall preserve Individual Initiative, competition, and the free exercise of a free contraot In all burlness and Industrial re latlons.. Any proposed legislation should also Include modification of the prohibition now existing upon these subjects: "First Local rganisntlona of labor and tUelr trade agreements with employers relating to wages, hours of labor and con dition of employment.. "Second Associations made up of farmers to secure an equitable market for the prod ucts of the aoU. ,1 "Third Business and industrial agree ments or commissioners whose objects are In the public Interests as distinguished from objects determined to be contrary to the publlo Interests." "Such commission ahould make Inquisi tion Into th advisability of Inaugurating system of federal' license, or Incorpora tion as a condition for the entrance of certain classes of corporations upon Inter state commerce, and also Into the relation to the public Interest of the purchase by one corporation of the franchises or cor porate stock of another. "On no one of these subjects must what has been gained be sacrificed until some thing better appear for enactment. On each question this conference recognises differences between good men. On all It asks a national, non-partisan commission to be appointed next winter to consider the question and report at the second session of the approaching congress fur such action as the national legislature. In the light of this full Investigation, may enact. Supervision of Corporations. ' "Thlrd-The examination. Inspection and supervision of great producing and manu facturing corporations, already begun by the department of commerce and labor and accepted by these corporations, ahould be enlarged by legislation requiring, through the appropriate bureaus of the department 'tiTof commerce and labor, complete publicity V jn ths capitalisation, accounts, operations, transportation charge paid, and selling prtoes of all such producing and manu facturing corporatlona, whose operations lire large enough to have a monopolistic Influence. This should be determined and decided by some rule and classification to be devised by the commission already proposed. "Fourth The conflicts between the state and federal authorities raised In many states over railroad ratea, being now tinder adjudication and under way to final and ' v'tirrata decision by the federal supreme court, this conference deems the express on of any opinion on these Issues untitling, and confidently leaves this great Issue to a tribunal which for 111 years has uc I cessfully preserved the balance between an Indissoluble union and Indestructible s'.ates, denning the supreme and national powers of the one, and protecting the soveiigu and Individual powers of the other."

Thla ordor held the first petition bad be cause in it Mrs. Pratt applied for a d'vrrje and asked that certain transfers of prop erty made after the ante-nuptial agree ment was signed be set aside. The court held that theee two causes must be set forth in separate petitions. The attorneys for the defendant, failing to present a written order to this effect for the court to lgn. Attorney Vlnonhaler and Brome, for Mr. Pratt, presented the order yej terday afternoon and had it signed. The defendant la ordered to answer the new petition by November 16.

In her petition relating to th property he say Colonel Pratt after the signing of th ante-nuptlal agreement and before their marriage transferrsd practically all of hi property In order to defraud her of her right under the agreement. The mar riage took plac June IS, ltot, when Colonol Pratt wo 71 year old and she was 24. The ' ante-nuptlal agreement was signed June IS and provided she should have a house worth 115,000 within two years after the marriage and S50.GO0 after the death 1 of Colonel Pratt. She says Colonel Pratt had about S500.000 worth of property, but i the day before the wedding she says he ; transferred his Douglas county property to his children, retaining a life Interest, and hi Wyoming property, estimated to , b worth I1K.000, to Marshal Field, the Chicago merchant. In trust. After the death of Field the trusteeship, she says, i was transferred to the children.

In addition to this the Im- portent question of the merger of omsna and South Omaha is before the voters.

City Clerk Butler will require election officers to have their books ready at the various booth promptly at 8 o'clock In th morning, so registration may bigln at ones with no delay. "This being the last of reg istration," says Mr. Butler, "it will be necessary for us to employ every hour In orden to accommodate ell the voters who have left to the last minute the important matter of registering. And so we don't want registration officers there at 8:15 or 8:S0, but 8 o'clock, promptly on the dot, with their books ready for business. We shall insist on punctuality." Mayor Dahlman delivered two speeches Thursday night, one at National hall and one at Thirteenth and Dominion streets. At both places he talked so long that ho missed the last car for home. The mayor's chief plea for votes for the democratic ticket Is 'that the last repub lican legislature (the best ever held, ac cording to the World-Herald) enacted a law which makes It obligatory upon of ficials of the city and county to enforce the laws of the state or answer, before the supreme court for their failure. Taking this for a text he talked for a long time to Impress his hearers with the Idea that officials should be elected to enforce the laws or let them go without enforcement as they may desire. Incidentally he paid his respects to the Board of Fire and Police commissioners, saying that while the law compelled the appointment of two republicans and two democrats the demo crat had not been consulted as to the rr .akeup of th board.

The recent sclaure by a representative of the government or a number of head of i rattle, which had been purchased by a "tenderfoot" homesteader In the ceded por tion of the Rosebud reservation.
