(Speclal.)-Tom Allen, chairman of the democratic state commit tee, has figured out a scheme whereby he thinks he can prevent the populists of Ne braska from having an electoral ticket In the field this fall. He has eight favorites whose names he expects to file shortly with the secretary of state with petitions asking that they be placed both on the democratic and the populist ballots. Should these eight favorites win out both In the populist and the democratic primaries, then the deml- cratlc boss figures on a fusion ticket this fall, with no Watson electors In the field. Inasmuch as the Nebraska delegation to the national populist convention withdrew from the deliberations of that body when It nominated Thomas Watson for president, some question has been raised as to the legality of the use of the name peoples lndependnt party on the primary ballot this fall unless the eleotors are for Watson. Secretary it State Junkln, however, Is hold ing that under the supreme court decision last year, if proper petitions are filed with him, he will place the same names on both the populist and the democratic, tickets. Mr. Allen, however, probably will run against a snag at the offshoot, as Mr. Junkln Is also holding that candidates for elector must file from a congressional dis trict or at large. The law says electors shall be selected one from each congres sional district an dtwo at large. It was the Idea of Mr. Allen that he could file the same petition for all eight of his candi dates, but Mr. Junkln holds the petition filed for district electors must be signed hv residents of the district from which the person is a candidate. Several candl dates have filed for elector who have failed to specify whether they are candidates at large or from a congressional district. These will be returned for this Informa tion. ' Michael Harrington Is another stumbling block over which Mr. Allen may fall down, They pleaded guilty and were each f nel IS and costs. Huton paid, but the other two eie r'mandel to Jail.

Nebraska City Correspondent! Agreement to Advance Charg-es Would Be Punishable Under Anti-Pool-ins Clause of the Sher man Law. NEW YORK, July 18. A special dispatch to the New York Tribune from Washington and which the Tribune will print tomorrow morning, says: In the opinion of Judson C. Clements, a member of the Interstate Commerce commission, the proposed In crease of freight rates discussed in New York yesterday by the presidents of many of the eastern railroads In ths Trunk Line association, would constitute a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and would ren der all the railroads concerned liable to se vere penalties. Mr. Clements explained that the Interstate Commerce commission as a commission Is not at all Interested In the Sherman anti-trust law, the execu tion of which Is entrusted to the Depart ment of Justice, but he expressed his opin ion as a lawyer and cited a recent Instance where the supreme court had so decided. "As a lawyer," he said, "I am willing to hazard the opinion that such an In crease In rates as was contemplated oy the eastern railroads at their meeting yes terday In New York would be in direct violation of the anti-trust law. "When practically all the eastern rail roads, and for that matter, all the roads of the country, by a mutual agreement ra!se rates, it is, to my mind, a procedure which brings them under that clause ot the anti-trust law which prevents pooling anj Illegal combinations. '.'Whether or not there Is sny necessity now for an Increase of rates, I am not prepared to say. If the Increase should come the commission will have ample time to decide that point. 1 am convinced, how ever, that the railroads will give the anti trust law careful consideration before they attempt a general Increase of rates. "A similar case came up in Oeorgla some time ago during some lumber dealings. Federal Judge Epeer decided that the rail roads had formed an Illegal combination In increasing the rates and the supreme court affirmed the decision." more HUI in the evening.
