(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March 28. (Special 1-Today
Attorney General Thompson took an un
expected step in the suit of the state to
enjoin the express companies from violating
the reduced rates provided for In the Sibley
law. He obtained the consent of the su
preme court for a special session to be
held April 1, at which time his request for
a temporary Injunction will be taken up.
The date of the special session Is six days
prior to the regular meeting of the court.
The attorney general has notified the
agents and attorneys of the companies that
he will ask for action on hla request for a
temporary Injunction. It Is believed the
court will be In a position to act, aa It will
have before It the showing made two weeka
ago why the request of the atate should
not be granted and the reply and anawer
of the attorney general to this ahowlng.
The application of the atate for the appoint
ment of a referee may also be acted upon
at the special session of the court. The
express companies have a counter Injunc
tion suit In the federal court to restrain
the enforcement of the Sibley act and testi
mony Is now being taken by the companies
In New York City. The two suits are con
sidered to be a race to see whether the
state or federal courts first render final
Judgment.

The Burlington asks permission of the
commission to place a 2-cent rate on stone
In effect on Its lines from Louisville, Cedar
Crerk, Cullom, Johnson, Auburn, Table
Rock, Wymore, Blue Springs, and Putnam
to Lincoln. The desired permission will
be granted by the commission as soon aa
tho matter can be taken up. Thla will
not only give Lincoln a lower rate from
many quarries, but all towns between Lin
coln and the quarries will get a reduction.
The towns of Denton, Crete and Dewltt

1 cent a hundred below the rates they now
have to pay. Wilber will get a reduction
of 2 cents, Havelock -cent and all the
towns between Tecumseh and Lincoln a
H-ccnt reduction.
The new rate la asked to meet that In ef
fect on the Missouri Pacific.
Lincoln Lawyer Is Convicted.
A Jury In the district court today declared
