LINCOLN, Set. 22. (Special.) The State
Railway commission considered the appli
cation of the Nebraska Traction and Power
company for permission to chmge a 10
rrnt rate between Omaha and Ralston thla
afternoon. The commissioners pointed out
to the applicants that this rate would be
In excess of the 2-cent-n-mlle law, the dis
tance being about four miles. It was
agreed that the company might file an
S-rent rate, on which, the commission would
withhold approval until It Is deonstrated
how this rate will work. The chief ob
jection urged to the making of this rate
is that another company Is now granting
a B-cent rate.
Less Express Reports.
The commission todny announced that It
would no longer require express companies
In the state to make monthly station re
ports. When reports are In for August no
further demands for monthly station state
ments will be made on these companies,
the order directing that all Information
heretofore contained In these be embodied
In the annual station report to be made
at the end of the year. The commission
has made compilations from reports here
tofore filed and .,has a sufficient amount
of such detail Information for the present.
Normal Board Case Heard.
The supreme court this afternoon heard
arguments in the test case which Is to
settle the controversy between the State
Board of Education and the State Normal
board. Tho case was submitted.
Road ChalleuRes Jurisdiction.
J. E. Kelby, for the Burlington railroad,
In an answer filed to the complaint made
by the George W. Voss Lumber company
of Dorchester, relating to lumber rates
from the south, declares that the state
railway commission has no Jurisdiction In
this mauer. The Voss company complained
that Dorchester Is discriminated against
In favor of Crete, In that yellow pine
lumber Drought from the south Is deliv
ered by the Burlington railroad at Crete
for 26 cents while the rate to Dorchester,
eight miles farther west, Is 31 cents. Mr.
Kelby says this Is an Interstate matter
In which the state commission cannot as
sume Jurisdiction.
Some time ago the railroads handling
pine lumber from the south found them
selves unable to agree on a division of
rates In cases where through rates were
made from the mills to local stations In
Kansas and Nebraska. All throug rates to
Nebraska local stations were withdrawn, ex
cepting those applying to Omaha and Lin
coln and intermediate points. Crete being re
garded an an intermediate point gets the
Lincoln rate, while the local for eight miles
Is added to the 2(i cents to make the Dor
chester rate. Crete Is a competitive rail
road point, while Dorchester is purely
local to the Burlington.
Affidavits In Home Case.
Affidavits In the Commandant Barnes
matter at Grand Island, which was recently
supject for a hearing by the slate board,
continue to reach the office of Secretary
of State Junkin. Mr. Junkln said yester
day that some of these contain ludicrous
matters stated In a severely formal, earn
est and most dignified way.
The board has made no finding In the
Barnes case, since the hearing at Grand
Island, and it is not made plain when such
a finding will be made, in fact The board
has little to do with the matter, the whole
quarrel being regarded as one for the gov
ernor to settle. Commandant Barnes Is the
governor's appointee, and any finding made
by the board would not of necessity influ
ence his action, and the governor is free to
act without suggestion on the part of the
board.
Some state officials who have familiar
ized themselves with conditions at the
Grand Island home maintain that no mat
ter who might have been appointed from
a list of Grand Island residents some
trouble would have occurred during the
administration of the Soldiers' Home. It
is held that factional differences and pol
itics at Grand Island a-e largely responsi
ble for the situation in which Mr. Barnes
finds himself, while another contributing
factor Is the lack of policy that the com
mandant has shown In deillng with the old
veterans.
The resignation of Joe McGraw, It Is held,
has not removed the only disturbing factor.
Reduced Rates Asked.
The State Rullway commission considered
the application of Fred Enfield, manager
of the telephone company at Lyons that
was formerly a part of the Bell system,
fur permission to reduce Ills rates to meet
competition, and also the protest of II. S.
Johnson, manager of the Independent com
pany, which has lowered the telephone
rates at Lyons and which Is competing
with Enfield's company. Enfield was al
lowed to put In lower rates. Mr. Johnson
declares that Mr. Enfield Is merely operat
ing the exchange at Lyons for the Bell
company and that the sale Is a subterfuge,
while Mr. Enfield declares that he Is the
owner of the plant and that It is necessary
for him to reduce his rates to hold his
own against the rival company.

CENTRAL CITY. Neb.. Sept. .-(Special.)
It seems that the mystery surround
ing the disappearance of several, fine horses
in this and adjoining counties during the
last few months has been cleared up with
the arrest of Charles Miller, possessed of
several aliases. The first theft was that
of some fine horses belonging to 8. A. Ny

county. These horses were 'traced and
found In possession of horse buyers at
Harvard and Sutton. Later some horses
belonging to Mrs. John Reeves, a widow,
living west of town, were stolen, and these
were secured by Sheriff Her at Fremont.
The latter part of last week a man sold
some horses at Belgrade, and as he acted
suspiciously the parly who bought them
became alarmed after he departed and noti
fied Sheriff Babb at Fullerlon. The mail
was traced to Central City, where Sheriff
Her, who had been notified to be on the
lookout for him, took him Into custody.
The horse buyers at Harvard and Sutton
were summoned here and Mem I fed the
man. who gave his njme as Miller, as the
one of whom they had bought the Nyberg
horses.
When Miller was confronted by these wit
nesses he broke down and confessed that
ha and a partner of his, both of whom had
ones worked on the Reeves place west
of town, where some of the horses were
stolen, had made sway with the horses
which have been stolen In the neighbor
hood during the last month. Miller has
