COAL DEALERS WAKE UPJ
Tork Commercial Clubs Tells Them
of the Weighing Law.
RAILROADS MUST STAND LOSS
Dealers Can Compel Them to Welch
Cara on Arrival and Make Good
the Shortage! "aid to
Be Heavy.
Coal dealers of Nebraska have been re
ceiving carloads of coal short from one to
five tons fer a year since the Nebraska
law went into effect requiring the trans
portation companies to weigh the cars
whenever asked to do so. Dealers
would probably have continued to accept
short cars had not the York Commercial
club filed a complaint before the State
Railroad commlssslon, and the fact re
garding the law brought out in the testi
mony, j
To assist the dealers In saving the loss,
which cuts down profits and keeps the
price of coal higher, the York club has
called the attention of dealers throughout
the state to the law.
But all this time the railroads have kept
quiet and never hinted that the law re
quired them to weigh the cars on demand
and the payment by the dealer of a
nominal fee.
Attorney Sedgwick of the York club
asked a railroad official during the hearing
of a recent complaint If ha had received
an order to weigh the cars, and if, when
he had received hundreds of complaints of
shortage, why he did not tell the receiver
that he could have the coal weighed at
the nearest division point.
Railroad Officer Says N'cver.
The railroad traffic official replied that
up to the time the complaint was filed he
had never told anyone that the dealers
could have the cars weighed and hold the
railroad company for the shortage Just
the same as the receiver could on any class
of merchandise.
That tho coal dealers did not know that
the law was on the books until the York
Commercial club brought it to their atten
tion is shown by the fact that at a recent
meeting of coal and lumber dealers .in.
Omaha, a resolution was offered asking the
legislative committee to begin work on
bill providing for the weighing of coal at
destination. At the annual nTeetlng of the
Iowa-Nebraska coal dealers, held in Sioux
City three years ago, the bill was framed
end was passed In Nebraska, but few
dealers knew of its existence, and so far
as known none took advantage of It. Five
dealers from York testified that they
never knew that the coal could be weighed
and had filed many complaints because of
si snon weigni wun ine ranruwu uuiiiitjiieB.
xno loss inrougn snortages nas open so
heavy that dealers are of the belief that
the price of coal has been kept higher be
cause of their inability to hold the railroad
companies for the loss In shipment. Many
times from 1,000 to 10,000 pounds less would
be found in tho car en arrival than the
weight marked on the bill of lading at
the mines.

Ransom in the David Rourke habeas cor

said he, "and if I can say anything to

hear me to emulato tho examples of these
renowned characters In perseverance, self
reliance, courage, optimism, fortitude, In
tegrity, lnd'ustry and Christian philan
thropy, I shall not have talked in vain."
Ho also paid high tribute to tho eminence
and learning of President Downing and
others of Crelghton university faculty and
the sacrifices they were making to build
this Institution to an even higher plane of
usefulness.
The meeting was presided over" by C. J.
Smyth, an alumnus of the university. Tho
spacious auditorium was crowded with
many of the leading men and women of
Omaha. The room was appropriately
draped with mourning emblems and on
the stage was a large bronze bust of Ed
ward Crelghton and a large portrait of
Count John A. Crelghton, around which
were grouped the national colors and the
blue and white colors of the university.
The first speaker of the evening was
Judge Lee 8. Estelle, who delivered an
eloquent eulogy upon tho lives and achieve
ments of Edward .and Count John A.
Crelghton. The other speakers were: I"r.
Foote of Crelghton Medical college. Rev.
P. A. McGovern, both of whom spoke In
most eloquent terms of Edward and Count
Crelghton and the enduring monuments
they had foundod In Crelghton university,
Creighton School of riiarmacy, Crelghton

The Knights of Columbus quartet sang
during an Interval of the speaking program
and John Davidson sang a s.i'.o. The pro

Kqaal la Capacity to State.
We have twelve church and private
schools recognised on the baa h of tuc
University of Nebraska and the state
normal schools with authority to g ant
certificates. In these twelve schools there
are now in attendance over student s.
U is" evident, therefore, that through the
missionary spirit of the church schools and
the business enterprise of the private
schools as much is being Uono for higher
education as the stule ia doing, in the
f .hi,. v...-nrrl would any friend of
the public school system be so blind as to
wish to do away with the church and pri
vate school In tho field of higher educa
tion? While religion, morals and character
are not forgottun in the public schools,
must of the time of these schools Is de
voted to the building of scholarship, and
It must be admitted that rellplon. morality
and character are too often neglected. On
the other hand. In the church schools while
high scholarship Is always one of the
pilnclpal aims, more intention can be paid
to religion, morality and character than Is
possible to give in the public or state
schools. There la great work for each of
these classes of schools lo do In our
commonwealth. Let them work harmoni

Whether It Is his attenuated ungalnll
ness or his unique drollery that con
tributes most to his ability to make fun,
Richard Ca'le can make It, and from thu
crowd that welcomed him t the Boyd
last night. Omaha folks evidently like hla
brand. Mr. Carle's new play gives him
ample opportunity to occupy the center of
the stage a good share of the time, and
when he is there It Is needless to say the
audience Is Ir. a rear of laughter.
The play Itself starts out with a prom
Iso of a plot, but it hardly gets beyond
the promissory stage. It Is merely a suc
cession of songs and tlanc.'E with Richard
Carle sandwiched In between at frequent
Intervals. The scene Is laid In Paris and
Its' suburbs and there is a French flnvor
to the play which Is not entirely lost In
the process of Its Americanization. It Is
a siu'pi'Mlon of a
serious love scene that sometimes breaks
tho monotony of a purely American
musical comedy.
The lines nre bright and the music Is
tuneful, and further than this therft I
an aggregation of pretty dancers as Is
rarely seen In a single company. The
comedy work is left almost entirely with
Mr. Carle as Ambrose Girdle, the old mini
who becomes boyish again through an in
fusion of lamb's Mend, and Miss Alh-e
Hageman, who takes the rait of his wife.
Mr. Carlo Is equal to anything that ho
might bo asked to do In the comedy line
and he needs little help.
More than ordinary credit should lm
given Miss Inez Bauer, whose graceful
dancing; and agile clogging was encored
time after tlnio by the audience. Mr.
Morley's voice makes It necessary for blot
to retire In favor of an understudy in his
principal song, "Wailing for a Certain
Girl," one of the calehiest cf the musical
numbers. Mr. Langlols sings a song or
two wllh good success and Miss Bageard
In a Spanish song and dance was well re
ceived. Mr. Curie's principal contribution
to the musical program Is his song, "A
Lemon In the Garden of Love," and a
duet with Miss Bauer. In the first act he
sings "All the Girls Love Me," with a
baker's dozen of pretty girls dancing thg
characteristic dances of as many differ
ent nations, and won a number of in.
cores. Miss Hageman was very funny lo
a topical song that took well.
