LINCOLN, Jan. Jp.-(8pecll Telegrsm.)
Balary earnings of the chief officials of
at least one express oompany were made
known to the railroad commission this
morning through Attorney Charles J.
TJreene, representing; the United States Ex
press company. Mr. Oreene made a sup
plementary report to the board. In which
he Included Information demanded that had
been hlthertoo withheld, concerning; the
extent of the company's business. In this
the company Is represented as being will
ing, privately, to lay Information of salaries
''of Its officers before the board, but It dis
likes to make thla a matter of record. Mr.
Greene showed the members of the board
a letter In which the Information was given
that the president of the company draws
1:5.000 a year, the secretary $30,000 and the
treasurer $15,000. But for the tendency of
the newspapers to enlarge on all such de
tails and make mountains out of molehills,
the board was Informed, the whole matter
would have been reported long before.
Commissioner Clarke today asked At
torney Greene, who is representing the ex
press companies, what hia understanding
la of the meaning of the word "merchan
dise" In the act. One member of the'rail
road commission holds It does not cover
all merchandise transported, but only 40
per cent of It. Mr. Greene saya so far as
he knows the companies all consider the
term to apply to everything transported by
them for charge. This la the opinion held
by Commissioners Winnett and Clarke.
Araameat la Sibley Law Caae.
Greene argued a motion before the su
preme court this afternoon to be permitted
to withdraw his answer to the petition of
the attorney general for an Injunction to
compel a compliance with (lie Sibley law
and to permit him to file a demurrer. The
court overruled the' motion, but Informed
the attorney that If he would strike cer
tain parta of his answer the same would be
considered as a plea In abatement. At
torney General Thompson and Hallack
Rose for the state argued against the
Greene motion and asked that a referee
be appointed to take testimony. On this
motion the court handed down no order.
Both sides were ordered to file briefs by
the next sitting of the court and be ready
to submit the case by that time so the
court can settle the matter by the second
fritting In February. The attorney general
made hia application for an Injunction
July 5 last, since which time numerous mo
tions have been passed on by the court,
but no Injunction has been issued yet.
To Coaslder Rate Classification.
The State Railway commission haa taken
ip the matter of making a classification
of freight rates for Nebraska and discussed
It for several hours, with (the result that
when the commercial clubs ' of the state
hold their annual meeting they will be
Invited to express themselves. A . large
number of people want the commission to
put in a strictly distance tariff rate, while
ethers desire the commission to keep the
present system, but to make changes In
the interest of the shippers. It has been
argued to the commission that Nebraska
has been built up under the present system
and to change that system now would be
4.0 disrupt the entire commercial business
of the state. Kvldence will be asked of
the commercial clubs to be used by the
board In determining what plan to follow.
Calls Halt oa Searle.
The bonding company in which Auditor
Bearle Is financially Interested will be un
able to do any more business with the state
aa a party to the contract. This was de
cided y the depository bond board, com
posed of Governor Sheldon, Secretary of
State Junkin and Atorney General Thomp
son. The board decided Inasmuch as the
constitution prohibited any state officer
from having any Interest In any contract
with the state It would be Illegal to accept
guaranty bonds issued by this company.
Another reason for the action of the board
was the fact that the new guaranty bond
laws were passed In 19(6 at a time when
Mr. Searle was ,ln office and by which laws
he as a member of the company would
profit. Tills violates another section of
the constitution. The company has been
writing bonds for a large number of state
depositories.
Representative Marshall Harrison of
Otoe county called at the state house this
afternoon to pay his respects to Governor
Sheldon. Representative Harrison has been
mentioned frequently as a candidate for
congress from this district, but up to this
time he has not decided to permit his
friends to use his name as a candidate.

"We are pestered nearly to death," said
Chief of Detectives Savage, "with fake
holdups. We can generally distinguish a
genuine report from the fake, but often
we have to waste a lot of time on fake
reports. Saturday the driver of a coal
wagon reported that while on his way
home he had been held up and rpbbed of
$J0 of his own money and IS belonging to
his employer. He also reported the story
to his employer, who believed him.
"I took the man Into my office and In
less than twenty minutes made him con
fess that he had not been robbed at all.
but bad spent his employer's money and
concocted the robbery story to account
for It.
"Monday another man reported that while
on his way home he had been slugged and
robbed of his watch. We found the watch
In a pawnshop and the pawnbroker Identi
fied him as the man who pawned it that
afternoon. I suppose his Idea In reporting
the fake holdup to us was to convince his
wife of the truth of his story."
