OPPOSE SCHOOL 'AT AINSW0KTH Boosters Tell War Taer Think State Shoald Plaee tnatltatloa at Alliance, tnaeron or Crawford, Seven of the countlea In northwestern Ne braska are demanding the pasaage of the Chase normal school bill now before the legislature. The bill provides for the es tablishment of a new normal school and tha appropriation of W6.0n0 for thla purpose. It leave the matter of exact location to the State Board of Education or any other properly constituted, body.- In opposition to the Chase bill Is a meas ure by Harrington of Brown county pro viding for an appropriation of EK.Of and the location of the normal at Alnaworth,. the home town of Mr. Harrington. Still an other Is the Henry bill, contemplating two achnola and the purchase of the old college building at Wayne to be used aa one, the appropriation being 1100,000. Frank Currle of Gordon. Charles Naylor of Chadron, P. G. Cooper of Crawford and John Brewer of Crawford have been to Lincoln to urge the paasage of the Chase bill. Their Side of Matter. Currle and Cooper, acting aa spokesmen, submitted this argument for their caae: "We believe the school should be estab lished at a point accessible to the greatest number of pupils. The seven counties for which we speak are the growing, aggres sive counties of northwestern Nebraska. They, with their population, are: "Scotta Bluff, 16.000. "Cherry, 16,000. "Box Butte, 14.000. "Sheridan, 12.000. "Dawea, 12.0H0. "Morrill. 7.000. "Sioux, (.000. "Here la a population of over 80,000. It may be off 2,000 or 1,000 either way, but It Is approximately correct. Now, then, here Is our proposition: This new school should be located at one of three towns Alliance, Chadron or Crawford we don't care which, but located at any one of these towns the school would be within easier reach of the children of these 80,000 than It would be If located at Alnaworth or any other town in the state. "If located at any of these towns the school would be within a radius of seventy five miles of this 80,000. population, or in other words, a radius of seventy-five miles would Include a larger population than a radius of 300 miles would Include If the school were located at Alnaworth. Should Mr. Harrington's bill carry and the school be located at Alnsworth to per cent of the pupils would have to travel a distance of 200 mile to reach It Towns In the Territory. "The largest and most rapidly growing towns of that section are In the district where we want the school located. There Is Alliance, with a population of 6,000, Chad ron 4,000, Crawford 1,000, Gordon 1,000, Rush vllle 1,000, Hay Springs 800, and five or six towns of at least 600. "Alnsworth tiaa a population of less than 1,000. And you travel east sixty miles on the Northwestern line to O'Nell before you strike a town of any size, and about 200 miles east to Brpken Bow on the Burling ton before reaching a town of consequence. And if the school weie located at Alns worth the people of the towns west of there would be little better off than they are now. It Is 160 miles from Alnsworth to the first of our group of town. And th others are all further away. "Northwestern Nebraska, the countlea we represent, has never asked or received anything of this sort fiom the legislature. We have been content to boost for the counties eaat of us and help build up the atate. We have paid into the state treas ury as taxes in the last ten years over $1,600,000, $157,000 last year, and have never been given even an experimental atation. We are steadily inuiuaalng In population; Sloux county polled 600 votes more last fall than It did two years prior to that time and the full vote waa out In 1906. and Dawea county Increased Ita voting popula tion by over 400. Our land values are ris ing. We have land that brings all the way from $1S to $60 an acre. We are not In or a part of the famoua sandhill country. It ahould be distinctly . understood. T)iat country lies to the eaat of us. Our kind Is good and 200.000 acres Is under Irrigation. As to Railroad Facilities. "At Crawford we have two railroads, the Burlington and Northwestern, and have acoess to every part of that gieat empire. We are going to keep on growing, but we shall need the help of the legislature. We muet have schools for our children, "The very fact that we do not specify any one town for the site of this new noivnal ought to commend our proposition aa a fair one. In addition to the argument we have offered. We are willing to submit the matter to Any duly constituted com mittee or board to locate the achool, pro vided It will place It within that vast ter ritory of the seven counties we have men tioned. We don't believe that the fact that Mr. Henry and Mr. Harrington are democrat, and Mr. Chae, the author of the bill we favor, is a republican, should cut any figure with the legislature, whlob Is also democratic. It Is certainly not a question of politics." Committee Visits Wayne. WAYNE. Neb., March 7.-(Speckl Tele gram.)

TENSION STRONG IN BERLIN Situation Between Servla aad Anatrla More Clearly Defined, bat Still Dlsqaletlng. BERLIN. March 7. The situation be tween Austris-Hungary and Servla. arising from the effort of the latter country to secure compensation for the annexation by the dual monarchy of Bosnia and Hersego vlna was today acknowledged to be dla quletlng; there to, however, thle advantage: The Issues are more clearly defined than before. It can be said with authority that every thing now dependa upon the position Rus sia takes in the matter. The situation stands as follow: Servla has undoubtedly renounced all Ita direct demands, both territorial and eco nomical, but at the same time U charged Russia to place these demands before aa international conference. Austria-Hungary declined to accept such a conference before the points at Issue with Servla are settled. Austria-Hungary is prepared to grant favorable commercial and economical com pensations to Servla If Servla consents to negotiate direct; but should a conference power In any way to Intervene In question Austria-Hungary, with the support of Ger many, would oppose any concessions. Austria-Hungary and Germany consider that a conference should be called only to satisfy agreements already made and they do not recognize the right of the power In any way to Intervene In questions concerning two Independent nations. It Is affirmed also that Turkey I In clined to hold to a ' similar view. Th pnrte feara that If such a conference awarded damages, Servla would demand territorial compensation from Turkey. The provisional commercial agreement between Austria-Hungary and Servla ex pires March 31, and Austria-Hungary la willing to make the new agreement mor advantageous If Servla will abatain from seeking foreign Intervention and settle the question alone. Up to the present time Russia haa not Intimated whether or not It will accept the Servian mandate to ap proach the power. Although there la no aertoua anxiety re garding the eventual peaceful outcome of thla controversy, a certain disquieting ten sion was evidenced today In official cir cles. VIENNA. March 6 Count Forgach, the Austria-Hungarian minister at Belgrade, has been Instructed to Inform the Servian government that owing to the attitude maintained by Servla for the last few months the government of the dual mon archy, to tts regret, has not been In a position to submit a renewal of the com mercial treaty with Servla, which expires March 31, for parliamentary sanction.

Portland to Push Figh ton Spokane Rate Decision Railroads Are Planning to Bring Injunction Suits and Merchants Will Ask Concessions. PORTLAND, Ore., March 7.-The Ore gonlan tomorrow will aay: It la consid ered practically certain that every poa alble legal obstruction will be placed In the way of the enforcing of the Spokane rate caae decision by the railroads of thla territory. While It cannot be learned defi nitely at present if this atep will be taken, nor what prooeases will be resorted to, It Is believed the railroads will fight the rate order just made and at least delay Ita en forcement to the utmost, even If It cannot be defeated. The Spokane rate decision waa ordered to become effective May 1. This Is said by all to be practically Impossible. The readjustment and publication of tariffs made necessary by the decision, causing the checking over of all the rates to the territory effected, will take month. That this mass of detail can be arranged by May 1 la said to be out of the question. It 1 expected the commission will con sent to the postponement of the effect of the decision until a reasonable time can elapse, but It Is thought this will not Sat isfy the railroads. It Is believed they will apply for Injunction or take aome other atep to overturn the recenf decision. Meanwhile the Portland Chamber of Com merce will begin suit before the Interstate Commerce commission for lower distribu tive rate out of Portland. Suit will be filed probably within the next two week. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE GENERAL EMILIO NUNEZ Cakaa Merchant with Personal Grudge Fires Two Shots at Former Governor of Havana.

He shot from the shore at some decoys In the water and the old gun. whlrh he was using for tha first time, exploded and narrowly missed killing him. Meyers and two companions, ori of whom was Joe Tamaste, had been firing a hotgun at the decoye, when a fourth man Joined the party and offered his old rnusxle loader to Meters to try. The bursting of the gun Imbedded two small pieces of eteet In Meyers' left arm. temporarily benumbed It and Inflicted similar rtgly gashes In Ma Hp and a finger of his right hand. It Is regarded as highly remarksble that the young man was not killed when the explosion occurred, aa one piece of steel rrom the burslng barrel waa hurled quite a distance and went through the Inch-boaid wall of a bungalow.
