Mr. Asqulth added that unless there was
a revolutionary change In public opinion
here It would be lmposslblo to carry a
general tariff through the Hrltlsh' house of
commons. A vote of confidence In the
government's financial proposals, following
the premier's speech, was carried unanimously.
LONDON, July 23. Addressing a meeting
of dry men In defense of the budget. Pre
nilir Asqulth declared the only alternative
offend to Chancellor Lloyd-George's pro
pi'Hals for raising the new revenue neces
sary was the introduction of a tariff; but
the liberals, he Bald, would not look at
any suggestions for a' tariff.
"Two great countries, the to greatest
commt-rctal rivals e have in the world,"
Continued the premier, "have been trying
their hands at tariff fabrications for the
last two or three years, Germany, for two
yrars, has bad In operation a full-bloom
scientific tariff, and Germany's deficit Is
much Kieater than our own, and It has
caused the downfall of one of the most
powerful ministers In Europe. And If we
look on the other side of the Atlantic they
have just completed a revision of the Ding

Alleged Murderer's Parent Believes

Him to Fate.
ABERPEKN, S. IX, July 23 (Special.)
August Victor, father of Kmll Victor, re
turned to his home at Kast Aurora, N. Y.,
today after visiting his Bon in tha Brown
county jail. "I am unable to do anything
lor my boy," he said, "and I might as well
ro home again. He has got himself In
jail and will have to get himself out. I
do not think my boy dli this thing, and I
am sorry that he has been accused. Our
family name has had no stain on It, and
we fe-l there will be none. Kmil is only
19 years old. Instead of V., as has been
published. He has always been a peculiar
boy from his birth, and I am Inclined to
think he s a little off."
The meeting between Victor and his
father was an effecting one, though Doth
leslrained themselves from any outburst
of Hef. Victor did not know his father
had arrived until ho was ushered Into the
tell.
State Attorney Van Slyke and Sheriff
Anderson have returned frotn a trip to
Webster, where they interviewed Circuit
Judge Frank McXulty and the Judgi. sgired
to call a special term of court to try
Victor. It will probably convene Jviy $1.
If Victor pleads guilty, as appears prob
able after his confession, no Jury will be
called, and Judge McNulty win Impose
sentence, which may be life Imprisonment
or hanging, at his optic n. If the prisoner
prefers to stand trial the special term will

The railroads are having a merry war
among themselves over merchants fall
meeting rates and the outcome seems to
be that many reduced rates will be made
through the west this fall. Ak-Sar-Ben
has already applied fur reduced rates, and
the railroads are now considering the ques
tion, with the probability that the rate will
be granted.
When the various railroads conceded re
duced rates for the fall merchants' meet
ings It was with the understanding that
they were to be strictly on the certificate
plan, and that the railroads should not
advertise these rates. Some of the roads
have broken over these rules and a war
Is on.
The Burlington first announced that the
rates would be open to the public, and
then the Rock Island took another step In
advance of the agreement by advertising
In the Colorado papers that the rates to
Omaha. Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas
City were open to the public. These viola
tions of the agreement are leading to many
complications and the situation la beset
with (roubles, as nearly all eastbound busi
ness from the west Is now practically open
to reduced rates.
Moat People Going; West.
The larger volume of travel through
Omaha at present Is westbound and the
business to the east Is light In spite of
the special cheap thirty-day rates which
have been made from this section of the
country to eastern resorts. The business
to the Pacifie northwest, to Colorado
points and to Yellowstone park la breaking
all records and the railroads are taxed
to their limit to handle the business. The
travel la really remarkable.
Reports show that 20,000 through tickets
to the Pacifie coast were validated before
June 15 In comparison with 1,000 during the
same period last year. The Burlington's
northwest train over the Northern Pacific
runs In two sections north of Edgmont
every day. The Burlington's Great North
ern train is also surprisingly heavy.
Ihe opportunity to register for the gov
ernment lands In the three reservations
which are now being thrown open for set
tlement Is a magnet which draws thous
ands through the Ppokane gateway.
While the rates to the Nebraska State
fair! are practically assured, Ak-Sar-Ben
and the National Corn exposition are still
waiting on the passenger men's decision.
Ilarrlman to Exploit Mexico.
Hariiman lines In Mexico are preparing
to make a large exhibit of tha resources
of the country through which these lines
travel In Mexico at both the Ak-Kar-Ben
and National Corn exposition. Nelson J.
Khoadea, Jr.. of the City of Mexico, vice
president and getieial manager of tha Pm
aloa Land company, the largtst bolder of
lands for colonisation along the Harrftnan
lines on the west coast of Mexico, was In
Omaha Friday.
The company Mr. Rhoaduai represents has
6,000,000 acres of land suitable for coloniza
tion by Americans and he was In Omaha
to consult with Union Paclflo officials In
reference to colonizing by American farm
ers. Mr. Rhoades says that his company Is
preparing a much larger display fur the
Omaha shows this year than he had last
year.
HurllDKton Officials Going- West.
George B. Harris, president of the Bur

Talking; Over Nebraska Hates.
Representatives oi the Nebraska rail
roads held a meeting in Chicago Thursday
to consider what the effects of the new
rates which have been ordered by the Ne
braska commission will have. These rates
are In the nature of a distance Jobbing

a high basis to apply between other sta

DIRECTORS DECLINE PROFFER
Omaha National Thought to Have
Been the Party Seeking; to Pur
chase at the l'lerore
Rejected.
An offer of !460,000 cash for the Board
of Trade building has been rejected by
the principal stockholders. The offer was
made by Ernest Sweet, who Is supposed to
have been acting for the Omaha National
bank.
The bank has already an option or what
amounts to an option on the New York
Life building, and officers of the bank have
Inspected that building no less than three
times recently.
The Board o( Trade building Is controlled
by a syndicate ot stockholders, prominent
among whom are Captain H. E. Palmer,
Fred J. Adams and K. M. Moruman, Jr.
At what figure they could be Induced to
sell Is nut known, but It Is certain that
the tfcO.OU) offer was turned down cold.
Ten or twelve years ago the Board of
Trade building could have been nought for
$100,000 or at least $150,000, and refusing to
sell at three times that figure Is a telling
illustration of the way real estate values
have Increased In Omaha In a decade.
Meantime the Income from the building
has gone up, rents having been doubled
and trebled. The book and news store
which occupies the basement Is paying the
highest rental per square foot In Omaha.
The building Is 66x132 feet, standing on
the southwest corner of Farnam and Six
teenth and It Is generally held to be the
best corner In Omaha at the present time.

I.as Pipe Without Hitch.
YANKTON, S. D., July 23.-(Speclal.)-E.
W. Crane, a housemover of this city, has
Just Invented, after months of study, a
method of laying gas pipe without the ex
pense of ditch digging and lu attendant
tearing up of streets and destroying lawns.
P large crowd here watched a test of
the Invention and officers of the Yankton
Gas company were greatly impressed. Four
hundred feet of gas main was lain In three
quarters of an hour and the street was In
as good condition as It was before. By
means of a capstan and team of horses
Crane drives a plow throuKh the ground
which also lays the pipe at the same time.
The Invention revolutionises pipe laying of
all kinds. A patent has already been ap
plied for.
