Tor a temporary Injunction against the
TXpress companies joins buslnras in Ne
'brahka for violating the Sibley law, an!
lila request for ' the appointment of a
.referee to take testimony In the can,
pending It final settlement wan urged In
,ithe supreme court this afternoon. The
Plbley law provides for a reduction of
2S per cent In express rates from the rates
In effect January 1, inril.' The law was
enacted bjj the recent legislature and be
came effective July 5. On that dnjr the
attorney? general flld a suit to enjoin
the expreascompanles f (f m .violating It
while the express companies tried to en
Join the railway commission from enforcing
It In th? - federal court. Both cases are
till pending, but upon securing a. decision
from the state court that It had the au
thority to maintain such a an it the state
then asked for a temporary order to com
pel the express companies to put In effect,
the reduced rates, pending the hearing on
the Justness of the rates and to faclllate
this hearing the attorney general asked
rf t or the appointment of a referee.
O At the hearing today Churlea J. Greene
and T. S.Maters. attorneys fo rthe ex
press companies, filed additional affidavits
to the effect the reduced rates would not
be compensatory and Ihey gave figures
to show lhat even under the rate In effect
the compensation was not sufficient to
pay Interest on the Investmelnt.
Attorney tiencral Thompson and Deputy
Attorney General ftoaec ontended these
figures Were - of no value for the reaaon
the express companies failed to give to
Nebraska any earnings on their state bus
iness. They argued the showing made
by the companies was , not sufficient for
the further reason that the express com-
Tanlea had not ' furnished the detailed
facts of their earnings or expenses, main
taining to any so much money for salaries
was not sufficient,', but It must be shown
who gets the money and how much each
official received.
During his remarks Mr. Greene, after rs
viewing the history of the case In this and
the federal court and talking of the ten
dency of the times, said:
"This proceeding has not been marked
by that liberal courtesy usual with gen
tleman of the profession."
"I believe you Bhould not make that
tatement," Interposed Chief Justice
Barnes. "This case has been In the courts
jiow almost a year and the express com
panies have been treated with fairness."
Attorney-General Thompson then took a
hand In answer to. the above and other
statements of Mr. Greene told of the ac
tion of the express companies in going Into
the federal courts when the state consti
tution protected their property Jut the
same aa does the 'national constitution, and
he denied the Imputation of the attorney

TESTS OF ELECTRICTSHOCKS
Effect af Coatact with Wires af Vary
ing; Veltace, with Caatlea
arr Hint.
The fact that one has received a shock
from a 600 volt circuit that did not prove
painful Is not a sign that the next one will
be equally harmless. The following .ex
periments ' have been made. Involuntarily,
by a great number of people.
Touch one side of the circuit lightly with
the finger while making contact with the
other aide either through a ground or by
actually touching It; the sensation Is similar
to receiving a violent blow In the chest;
a small burn that Is deep, but not painful,
will be found on the finger where contact
was made.
Make a better contact, as by touching
the circuit with a piece of metal held firmly
In the hand, and the blow will be strong
enough to knock the experimenter down.
It I probable that no burn will result, aa
the current ha a large surface through
which to enter the hand; in rare case the
person may become unconscious for a
short time.
Grasp the wire firmly In the hand, and
for a time at least It will be Impossible to
release It. Serious burns are made where
the wire touches the hand, and unless the
victim succeeds In wrenching himself free
or help I quickly rendered, the result Is
likely to prove fatal.
The last case Is of a very rare occur
rence; It Is pretty sure to obtain consider
able space In the dally paper when It
actually does occur, while In many of the
reports seen the victim may exclaim, with
Mark Twain, "Account of my death greatly
exaggerated." On the other hand, people
re knocked down by the current every
day. It Is rather peculiar that the 600 volt
shack will, In the majority of cases, kill
horse.
The trolley current 1 a 600 volt circuit.
with the exception of perhaps half a doxen
line recently Installed which go to 1,000 or
over. It Is well to remember In case of a
falling trolley wire that standing upon a
dry board will give full protection, that
while sitting In a car there la no danger
of shock from a broken wire or other cause
If one doe not touch metal or wet wood;
raising the feet from the floor that may be
wet or dirty will do aa an additional pre
caution.
If one wishes to remove a wire to avoid
shock or for other reasons, It may be done
with safety while standing upon a dry,
clean board, with a piece of dry board not
large enough to stand oh, or with several
thicknesses of dry paper (a newspaper), or,
in case of emergency, a bundle of dry
clothing. As it Is difficult to get the latter
perfectly dry. a, shock may be received
when thl Is attempted, but the resistance
will be ao high that the shock will not be
very severe.
The deadly third rait alio operate at 600
volt and 1 no more deadly than haa been
already shown, except for the probability
of a person who Is thrown down by the
hock of falling across the rail and becom
lng unconscious. Thl of course Is as seri
ous a case even as that of the man who I

give a fatal current, and the pressure is so
great that the precaution prevloualy de
scribed are not to be depended upon. One
would be reasonably safe, however tf
standing upon a chair or stool with per
fectly dry wooden leg.
A wire of 1.000 volt or more are quite
common In the streets, there are many
chance for other wires to come In contact
with them and so receive a dangerous cur
rent. It I therefore unwise for an Inex
perienced, person to touch any outdoor wire,
however harmless it may appear.

TAFrS STORY OF JAPAN
Secretary Telle af Dellarat'al Gipe.
rleaee la the I.aad af the
Mikado.
Secretary Taft's story of his tour around
the world In the National Magazine con
tains these details of Ms visit to Japan:
The most hospitable and delightful cour
tesy was shown the American visitors
throughout their stay In Japan. The em
peror placed the palace of Shlba, in Toklo,
with its beautiful gardens and lake, at the
disposal of his Amerlcsn guests, and the
stay was memorable for novelty and In
tereat. Although neither the emneror nor
the empress apeak English, their sym
pathetic attention proved that there Is a
universal language which all mankind un
derstands. If the men and women of the
United States who have aeen suggestions
of differences between the two nation
analyzed at length, might have experi
enced the genuineness of the Japanese wel
come and the warmth of their hospitality.
there would have been Inatant agreement
that the subjects on which we are In ac
cord 'far outnumber and outweigh those
on which we may have slightly different
opinion.
At a dinner tendered by the city of Toklo
to the American guet. 900 leaders of
Japanese thought. Including many high of
ficial, were present. Large nuumhers
seemed to fully understand the English
language, and the responses to sentiment
of good feeling between the two nation
were Instantaneous and enthusiastic.
The lake near which the palace Is situ
ated is a famous fishing; water, contain
ing large numbers of the fine little Jap
anese perch. Here, in thl beautiful gar
den, the empress Is accustomed to spend
much of her time, and occasionally she
enjoys fishing for the little Inhabitants of
the rocky pool. No American small boy
could withstand the opportunity which this
nearby pond afforded for a bit of sport.
It was remarked that Charlie seemed to
be catching a surprising number of the
fishes, and on Investigation it developed
that there had been a Judicious tip quietly
furnished the employe charged with the
duty of feeding the fishes by which he waa
encouraged to forget to feed them. The
sport thereupon greatly Improved.
There Is a fascination about Japan which
Is felt by every traveler within its borders.
Here may be seen strange oriental cus
toms adapted to the modern life of this
busy age. Its prompt adoption of the best
in the civilisation of the younger west Is
a brilliant Indication of versatility which
the Yank cannot fall to respect and ad
mire. While over and about all I a mellow
unshlne of atmosphere, artistic, stimulat
ing and soothing, which la potent to every
sympathetic vieltor. It Is not hard to un
derstand the loyalty of the Japanese for
their own wonderful land, their pride in
it historic past and their hope for its
large future.

Anna Marie Schwart. the 6-year-old
daughter of J. C. 8chwart of Wheaton.

making even after the death of the child,
fifty member of the Young Men' odallty
of St. Michael German Catholic church
of Wheaton find themselves practical out
casts from Wheaton society.
The Rev. William Dclaporte, pastor of the
church, ha formally disbanded the so
ciety, composed of the younger members
of the congregation, and In a scathing
sermon from the pulpit, held them up 4o
their elder as hearties and deserving of
condemnation.
. The stern words of Father Delaporte and
his order for i the dlsbandment of the
sodality and against the young men and
women joining any other society until his
ban be raised, aa a penance for their ac
tion, have aroused Catholic circles In Whea
ton. Almost without exception the older
members of the congregation have atood
with the pastor.
The thoughtlessness of the young people
and their disregard for the suffering of
the dying child, and of the feeling of the
parents, were the cause of the priest's
order. ,
On the night of March 6. the little clifd
lay dying In her father' home. Through
the thin partition of the adjoining room
came the laughter and gayety of a crowd
of young people gathered about the card
table. There were snatches of music, and
the banter of the winner a the ringing
of a bell signified the end of a game at
the head table and the partners changed.

doctor, the father, and the mother, as they
battled for the life of the little girl. The
child ha a severe attack of croup, and
they were resorting to all the remedies

to be sinking, the mother said:
"Can't you go and tell those people to
go home? I believe the excitement makes
her worse."
The father went outside and called some
of the member of the party aside to tell
them of his trouble. They refused to com
ply with his request, ss the party was a
paid affair, and they declared that they
could not put those who were attending to
so much Inconvenience after receiving the
sum of 60 cents apiece from them for an
evening pleasure.
About 9 o'clock the little child died. The
party was still In full swing. Beneath the
same roof, separated only by a few laths
and plaster, were revelry and death. With
the laughter of the young Christiana went
up the sorrowing cry of the mother as the
soul of her child paased awsy.
Father Delaporte demanded that the
young men In the sodality apologize to
the parents of the dead child.
This they refused to do, as they declared'
that they did no wrong, and just at present
the matter Is at an lsaue between the
priest and certain of his parishioners.
