Tha five express companies doing business
In Nebraska Adams, American, Pacific,
fWells-Fsrgo and United States through
their attorneys, Greens tc Breckenrldge,
tiava made another application for a tem
porary Injunction In the United States cir
cuit court to restrain the State Railway
commission and attorney general from the
enforcement of provisions of the Sibley act
reducing the rates 28 per cent,
- The petition Is baaed upon a recent ordor
Issued by the State Railway commission
requiring the several express companies to
ubmlt to the commission monthly reports
of the amount of business done by their
several concerns since the Blbley law be
came effective and notifying the express
companies that sufficient blanks will be
furnished them for one year by tha state
tipon which to make such monthly reports.
This became effective April L The at
torneys for the express companies hold that
the order Is In direct violation of tile agree
ment between the express companies and
the officials at the time an injunction was
applied for In the United States circuit
court at Omaha, when It was agreed that
ho further action would be taken regarding
' the enforcement of the Sibley act until Its
ronstltutlonallty was determined by the su
preme court of the state. It Is further held
by the express companies that it was under
this understanding that the case was re
manded from the federal to the state court
and the Injunction denied for want of Juris
diction. Thompson and Rasa.
The state was represented In the hearing
by Attorney General W. T. Thompson and
Assistant Attorney General Rose. The
state officials deny that the order is a
violation of the agreement under which the
Injunction was asked for and denied In
July, 1907, by Judge W. H. Munger, and
on such understanding was remanded to
the state courts pending the determination
of the constitutionality of the Blbley law.
Attorney General Thompson said:
"Order No. i has nothing whatever to
do with the Sibley law, but is Issued under
a provision of the act creating the railway
commission, which authorises the commis
sion to Issue orders under the railway com
mission law. By this order no action has
been com'menced against the express com
panies, nor has there been any Inclination
on the part of the commission or state
officials to violate the conditions of the in
junction asked for last July.
. "Bult was Instituted on behalf of the rail
way commission In the supreme court by
the attorney general on July S, 1907, to test
the constitutionality of the Sibley act,
which directed that no express company do
ing business In "the state of Nebraska
should charge for the carriage or trans
portation of merchandise, money or other
other article within the limits of the state
a rate In excess of 75 per cent of the rate
In force on and before January 1, 1907, or
from putting Into effect any rate other
than those fixed by the Sibley law.
Injunction Is Granted.
v "On July 8, 1907, an application was made
by the attorney general on behalf of the
. state railway commission and the ; slate to
the supreme court for a temporary Injunc
tion against the express companies to re
strain them from charging any other rates
than those provided by the provisions of
the Sibley law and to restrain the express
.companies from Instituting any litigation
looking to a contest of the Sibley law until
lis constitutionality was determined by the
supreme court. This injunction was
granted. On July 10 the express companies
filed their unswer In both cases, and on the
same date applied for a temporary injunc
tion In the federal court at Omaha to re
strsln the railway commission and the at
torney general from enforcing the provi
sions of the Sibley law. This Injunction was
resisted successfully by the attorney gen
eral on itio ground that a like case was
pending. In the supreme court, and that
tn federal court was without Jurisdiction n
the matter, and, further, that It was at no
" time the lntentlon-f the state to proceed
against the express companies criminally
or civilly until the validity of the law was
determined by the ouprcuia court. It was
on this hypothesis that the Injunction was
denied1 in tlie federal court at Omaha and
tho case remanded."

FIRE FIGHTERS IN SCHOOLS
Rlllatilnkrn Wilt Be Placed In All
Grade Renoel Batldlna-e Resnlt
f Fire at Kelloaa. '
I Fire at K
At the reftult of two incipient fires In the
Kellom school within the last month, the
committee on buildings and property of
tha Board of Education will recommend
to the board when It meets Mondsy evening
that fire extinguishers be placed In all
new buildings to be erected, stand pipes be
built and reels and hose be placed on all
floors. '
The first fire In the Kellom school wai
nearly a month ago and nothing was done by
the board, but another fire In the same
building Thursday afternoon caused the
board to proceed without further delay
in providing adequate fire protection In all
the buildings. It being seen that fires can
result from causes other than from the
furnace rooms.
The last fire In the Kellom school was
discovered by a kindergarten boy about t
year of age. The child was parsing through
the hell when Miss Boutelle, one of the
teachers, saw him looking into the closk
room of the First grade children, spellbound
in astonishment Phe asked him 'what he
was looking at with such Interest ana the
youngster replied:
"Oh, I'se Just teeing a little boy's coat
burned up."
The teacher rushed Into the cloak room
and hanging among the wraps of the chil
dren was a coat entirely enveloped In fire.
She was washing at the sink when the
child called her attention to the fire and
she still had a wet towel In her hand, which
she wrapped around the biasing coat and
carried to the sink. In a minute nothing
was left of the gsrment but ashes. None of
the other garments caught fire, -but the
wainscoting was badly scorched.
Children In Blleafal Ignorance.
No alarm was sounded and the children
not 'being apprised of the fire remained
composed In their seats.
The other fire was discovered by Ml.s
Carey, another teacher, as the children.
were marching out to play during the aft
ernoon recess period. The teacher saw
smoke In the Third grade cloak room, and
dismissing her charges, hurried Into the
room, where the fire was found In the coit
belonging to a small, boy. She carried the
garment out of the building, where the f ra
was soon pounded out. In this Instance the
fire started In the pocket of the coat where
the youngster carried matches and marbles
mixed together.
The Kellom school, on Paul street, ' bS
tween Twenty-second and Twenty-third
streets, is the largest school In the city,
having an enrollment of 1,000 children. Ii.
Is a two-story brick building wjth eighteen
rooms. '
"You cannot Impress too strongly upon
parents the necessity of watching their chil
dren very closely and seeing that they carry
no matches In their clothing,": says Miss
Effle Reed, principal of the Kellom school.
"Both of these fires in this one school
started from matches being carried into the
building by children. In this season of
the year when bon-flres. the delight of
the small boy, are so prevalent. It Is hard
to deny the children when they ask for
matches, but they -simply must not be al
lowed to carry them to school."
, Superintendent Davidson echoes Miss
Reed's sentiments and asks that parents
see to It that . their children are not al
lowed to carry matches in their clothing.

ORANGE GROWING IS NO JOKE
Indnatry la California Maintained by
the Watchfulness of the
Growers.
Orange growing In California Is no Joke,
according to Cralgi L. Wright of the law
firm of Wright & Call of Sioux City, who
Is In Omaha.
A. F. Call, the Junior member of the law
firm, who has been prominent In Iowa pol
Itlcs for years, has retired to an orange
and lemon ranch in California, which con
sist of 260 acres, every foot of which is
In fruit. Mr. Wright has spent some time
on the orange. farm and says:
"Oranges would be an extinct fruit In
California If It was not for the watchful
ness of the growers. Those who think
that oranges simply grow without assist
ance are mistaken. I have gone over the
great farm of Mr. Call and have seen the
little sheetlron stoves which are 'placed
near every fourth tree. When there (S
danger of frost the alarm Is given from a
central station and these little stoves on a
hundred ranohes are lighted. They drive
away frost with their fires of oil and shav
ings. .....
"Propping up the trees Is another Job
which the orange growers must do in time.
I believe the orchard which I visited had
10.0C0 props under the heavy limbs.
"Fumigation Is another problem. On Mr.
Call s rsnch they stretch tents over thirty
six, trees at a time and fumigate the trees,
using a mixture of sulphuric . acid and
cyanide, which would kill a man If he
filled his lungs with the fumes. All this
takes time and shows that the growing of
oranges is a constant fight."
Two years ago Mr. Call was known In
Iowa as one of the most aggressive eije
mies of Governor Cummins and a sup
porter of George I). Perkins, the standpat
railroad candidate for governor. Mr. Call's
retirement from politics and law marked
a new era In Iowa politics. .

STORING WOOL LIFTS PRICE
Warehouses in Omaha Will Baise
Market for the Producer.
BA2IXS WILL niBIfSH .MONEY
President Millard of the Omaha Na
tional Says Bankers Are Ready
Handle All the Ware,
hoase Certiorates.'
Better prices for wool will be received
by the producers of the west as a result -of
the arrangement made by Omaha capitalists
and prominent wool growers for holding
the wool. In storsge at Omaha Instead of
allowing the growers to be at the mercy
of the eastern buyers as they have been
In the past
When the wool crop Is sold In Msy and
June the growers are compelled to take the
May and June price, which la frequently
from to 10 cents per pound lower than the
fall price of the crop.
Banks of Omaha will be able to furnish
money with which the wool growers may
"tide" themselves over the summer and
be In a position to secure top prices for
the crop. . .
Ex-Senator J. H. Millard, president of the
Omaha National bank, 'said:
"As the proposition has been put up the
bankers of Omaha regard tne wool ware
houses with great favor and will be dis
posed to do everything they can to encour
age the shipment of wool to Omaha and
the holding of the crop In storage here.
"For the first two or three years I am
Inclined to think the banks of Omaha will
be able to loan all the money necessary
on tha warehouse certificates and at the
end of that time, when the wool business
of Omaha will require large amounts of
money, . I believe the banks will arrange
to furnish it. As I understand the business,
It wilt require a vast sum of money to carry
the wool growers. The security is excel
lent, and I am sure the bankers will make
every effort to secure the necessary funds."
Wool, Growers Join In.
From the correspondent of The Bee at
Cheyenne, Wyo., the plan of the dealers
In establishing a warehouse at Omaha is
learned. In a special telegram the cor
respondent savs:
The plan ol the wool growers of the
states of Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Colo
rado, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada
and California to store their wool, refuse
to accept the prices offered by the buyers
tn the field and to hold for better prices,
Is meeting with the approval of growers
generally, and warehouses will be erected
In many places. Warehouses are now lo
cated at Clearmont, Casper, Douglas, New
castle and Cody In Wyoming, and others
are to be built during the present season.
The growers have recently organised a
company to build a warehouse at Omaha
and handle about 25.000,000 pounds of wool.
Wonk has been started and the big storage
will be ready for this season's clip. A hold
ing company nas been organized to carry
the manufacturers, and as the warehouse
company will advance from 8 to 10 cents
per pound on the clip when It Is received
at the warehouse, the growers will be able
to hold as long as they like, and when they
sell they will be assured of getting the
full market value. The warehouse company
will grade and insure the wool for the
grower, and will dispose of it at private
sale, on bids or at auction, as the grower
desires. The railroads have granted per
mits to store tne wool in transit on tne
through billing and at no additional cost.
The same plan will be Inaugurated In
other places, and notably California. Added
to the wool stored In the public warehouses
tne many clips that will tie Held at the
ranches, and It Is estimated that upwards
of 75,000,000 pounds of wool, or more thsn
one-third of the entire clip of the United
mates, win Da. witnneia rrom tn ouyers,
and for the most part will go direct from
the grower to the manufacturer, thus cut
ting out the middle men entirely. The lat
ter will .only .net a clip, here and there, un
less they Conclude te pay better prices. In
which event" the warehouses would not get
so much wool. However, the warehouses
are this yeor going to act as a club In the
hands or the grower to compel the buyers,
whether middle men or manufacturers, to
pay the market price.
GLOVE FACTORIES WILL CQME
Big- Manufacturers Sure to Follow
Wool Market to Omaha.
"Glove factories must inevitably follow
the wool market to Omaha," says T. H.
Fonda of Fonda Bros. & Co. "This !s not
a fancy, but will become a fact. With a
large wcol market here manufacturers will
soon discover that It is to their advantage
to establish plants in Omaha where they
can get the raw material without long hauls
and large freight bills and where they can
also be next door to the big market of the
west, ready to buy their gloves and mit
tens. Pelt buyers, of which The Bee has
spoken, will come when' the. wool market
does and after -them the glove makers.
Why should not the glove mak.-i come here
where they have to secure their pelts
rather than stay away oft yonder tn the
east and have their material hauled to them
at enormous expense?
"And I want to say, Omaha will find In
the glove factories an industry that will
aid materially In Its general upbuilding.
These Institutions will bring large numbers
of persons to our city and good, hard-work
ing persona, too. My old borne was near
Gloversvllle, If. T., and I know what the
glove Industry did for that place, which
today Is the largest glove manufacturing
town In the country."
Omaha now has a small glove factory,
which, doubtless will reap great reward
from the establishment of a wool market
here.' . '
