EXPRESS RATES WILL BE CUT
Supreme Court Renders Decision En
forcing Sibley Act.
REDUCTION EFFECTIVE APRIL 15!
Attorney General Wln In (outfit
. Reasonableness of Rates to1 Be
Tried Before Referee
J. J. Snlllvan.
IronY a Staff Correspondent.)
UNCOU. April la (Special.) By pre
liminary injunction effective April 15, each
of the express companies operating in Ne
braska is forbidden by the supreme court
to chars or receive for services In Ne
braska any sum In excess of 75 per cent of
Ins rates charged January 1, lfi7. The ef
fect of the Injunction Is to require the en
forcement of the 25 per cent reduction de
manded by the Sibley act. John J. Sulli
van was appointed referee to take testl-B-ony
in the case pending its final settle
ment. In resisting the application of Attorney
SeneraJ .Thompson lor a preliminary irw
(unction tlio express companies made a
shoving to the effect they would be re;
quired to do business at a loss If the 25
per cent reduction provided for In tlm
Blhley bill should be enforced. The show
ing of tho express companies to prevent
an enforcement of the reduced rates con
sisted of statements disclosing the earnings
and expenses. These were given without
staling the salaries. or the details of other
expenses. The value of the property em
ployed In the express business was not
given.
The granting o fthe Injunction In the face
of sueti a showing Is considered by attor
neys to be holding that the statute fixing
rates cannot be set aside on the mere
statements of express company officers
showing earnings and cxpcm.es and a loss.
The granting of the restraining order Is
understood to mean 'thut a statute fixing
rates can only be set aside upon ft full ills,
closure of .the. conditions, earnings and
business of tho express companies. The
property Interest employed,- the ownership,
the earnings, the amount and character
of all expenses. Including salaries, must
be fully disclosed to the court, so that It
can Judge for Itself whether the expendi
tures are legitimate and necessary. Other
wise the express - companies cannot . shoy
they operate at a loss, so 'as to invalidate
the statute fixing rates. This is the rule
of Hie supreme court of the United States
and the granting of the temporary in
junction is taken to be aa adoption of
that rule by the supreme court of this
state.
At the hearing on the application for In
junction It was argued hy the attorney
general that the reduction in rates would
transfer a portion of the freight traflic to
the express companies and tlmt a lrj?
amount of matter now sent by mull would
be carried by express, and the earnings of
the express companies would he corres
pondingly increased with little additional
expense.
The court instructed Itoferee Suliivan to
begin the taking of -testimony as soon as
possible and report to the court his find nns
of fact and law.
The action of the court is held to he a
vindication of the course, adopted hy At
torney General Thompson and Commission
ers Wlnnett and Clark. These men argued
that to attempt to collect penalties previous
to a test of the law would haave resulted
In the commission being tied up by in
junctions. .
Kill iiets Reversal.
Owing to the summory manner in which
the grand Jury was called In Madison
county, Forrest Kills, an attendant In the
Norfolk asylum convicted of simple as
sault, has obtained nreversal. KJlis was In
dicted at the Instance of Governor Mickey.
Governor Mickey had ordered Superintend
ent Alden removed from his position on ac
count of dissension among ti e officers und
their families. Alden refused for a time
to vacate the office. In the meantime
Governor Mickey was instrumental in pre
ferring sharges against several att'iidunts
for cruelty toward patients. No Brand jury
had previously been ordered and during tile
session of t lie April term, V.HM5, the distitet
court ordered the sheriff to Immediately
summon the grand Jurymen. This Jury In
dicted Kills for assault with intent 'to d.i

sault from which conviction he prosecuted
error to the supreme court.
Following decisions in two former cases
the court holds that "no grand Jury can be
lawfully organized unless its election has
been previously ordered by a Judge of the
district court. Such order must be In writ
ing and filed with the clerk of the district
court on or before the day fixed by law
for the drawing of Jurors for the term of
court for which the grnnd Jury Is to ap

The exceptions of the state to the Judg
ment of the district court of Nemaha
county, liberating William W. Ickina. held
on a charge of forgery, from' custody, are
sustained by the supreme court. The court
holds "forging and fraudulently uttering
and publishing the same instrument, if done
by the same person, constitutes but one
crime, which may be charged In a single
count of un information.
Maynarrt Verdict Holds.
Roy Maynard, for1the killing of I.eroy W.

Alliance, must serve a life sentence In the
penitentiary, the supreme court having
affirmed the decision of the district court
of liox Kulle county In a decision handed

In iu report to the State Hoard of Assess
ment unde'r tho provisions of the terminal
tax law, the Northwestern failed to file a
dctallod statement, of the value of lis per
Honal prois-rty aa required by tho law and
by t lie schedules sent out by the board.
Under the heading, calling for a state
ment of the personal property, this iroad
gives merely a financial statement. The
Hurlington filed the same kind of report,
while the Union Pacific filed a duplicate
of each of the reports filed with the city
taxing authorities.
Kach of the three roads filed a detailed
statement of real estate owned in the vari
ous towns of I lie state, but in the case of
the Northwestern Hnd Murllngton tha value
of personal property such as shops and
other buildings is not set out. It Is pre
sumed by members of the board that this
properly has been detailed to the local tax
ing officers, an. I as this Item will be set
out in tile general returns mado by the
roads to the board for valuing the railroads,
it may he the board will require no further
information under the terminal tax law.

HrMflOI.DT, Neb., April I". (Special.)
J. A. Williams of Lincoln was here yes
terday on behalf of the State Railway com
mission, of which he is a member, listening
to arguments pro and con with reference
to the application of the I'lty Mutual Tele
phone company of Humboldt for permis
sion to Increase the rates charged for resi
dence 'phones from 75c to, $1.50. The prin
cipal objectors to the Increase In rates are
members of the old Huinboldt Telephone
company, who were forced to sell by the
present concern on a plea for lower rates
and whose books Introduced In evidence
show that the old company while in op
eration with about half tlio 'present num
ber of 'phones made dividends amounting
annually to 50 per cent of tlm actual cash
invested. Tho contention of the objectors
Is that under conservative management the
company could make plenty of profit with
the present rales. The City Mutual, on the
other hand, contends that its - expenses
have Increased In greater ratio than its in
come with the growth of the business, and
it must have relief In the matter of rates.
The public sentiment is quite divided on
the iiuestion.
