NEW PLAN FOR MILEAGE

After January 1.
COUPONS TO REPBESENT CENTS
Hffllii to Be livid la Ckleaa-o la
Jlext Tea Dare to Perfect Details
of the rropoul Weve
Form of Book.
lYeaent forma of mileage booka In uae
on ratlroada of the country are to be aban
doned by all road operating weat of Chi
cago on January 1. when the 1909 tlcketa
expire. In place of the .varlegatad array of
booka adopted according to the fanclea of
the various railway, uniform ticket booka
will be Bold. They will be Issued, how
ever, by the Individual roads over which
they are good for tranaportatlon.
Varying rate of fares In the different
states have caused the railroads to get to
gether on the ticket propoaltlon. The
uniform style of, folding tape tickets lias
been agreed upon, but the price of tickets
and other details remains yet to be settled.
Within the next ten days a meeting of
representatives of the passenger depart
ments will be held In Chicago, when the
final form of ticket will be adopted. A dele
gate from general offices of the Union
Paclflo Railroad company will be present
at the meeting.
One marked difference In the style of
. tickets Is certain for the form of mileage.
Instead of representing miles, each coupon
will represent cants the 2- cent coupon
will probably be agreed upon so that the
mileage may be used In states where vary
ing rates of fare exist. A book contain
ing t.000 coupons of thM class to be sold
for $10, has been recommended by the
Southwestern Passenger Mileage bureau.
Tickets will be valid on all lines running
west of Chicago as far north as St. Paul
and Minneapolis, south to St. Louis and
Kansas City and west to Omaha, Denver,
Pueblo and Cheyenne.

Judge Wakeley
in Creighton Case
Venerable Lawyer Makes Vigorous
Plea Against Eight to Intervene
in Appellate Court.
Argument on the right to Intervene In
the Crelghton will suits ended Saturday
noon before Judges Eatelle and Redlck
In district court, the last address being
delivered by former Judge K Wakeley.
Judge Wakeley, who Is 87 years of age
and the Nestor of the Nebraska bar spoke
as clearly and with as much spirit as
any of the younger men, who preceded
him.
"They have no right to Intervene, even
In the court of original Jurisdiction." said
Judge Wakeley, "and much less now."
"It Is purely a question of practloe. Tbe
right to lntervenene Is distinct from the
right to be heard and the state of Ne
braska has passed laws expressly forbid
ding tntervenors to an appellate court."
Attorneys for the heirs and executors
seem confllent that the decision will be
their way. The other side Is far from be
ing despondent, however.

AsnlTeraary Will
Winter at Lot Angeles.
James Stephenson, the veteran stage line
man of Nebraska and one of Omaha's
pioneer cltlsens, has returned from a visit
of several months on the Paclflo coast.
"There is a stage line running through
Yellowstone park, a few lines In California
and a few In Arlsona, but these will In
time go out of existence." says the old
coacher. "I have been out of the business
several years now, Railroads Are running
where forty years ago we couldn't find a
track for a stage coach and we used to
drive over some pretty rough country.
"My visit to the Paclflo coast was with
my daughter, Mrs. A. B. Kimball of Salt
Lake, and my granddaughter. They re
malned over at Salt Lake. I shall remain
here but a few weeks and will return to
Los Angeles for the winter. By the way,
I arrived on my seventy-third blrthrday on
my return from California. It la over fifty
years ago since I first struck Omaha.
FEW FIRES KEEP RATES DOWN
Small Loh for Year Has a a Added
Benefit to Those Wkt Pay
Insurance.
Omaha's fire loss so far this year Is
slightly less than $160,000 and It Is figured
that with tut six weeks of the year re
maining the total for 1908 will be some
what lower than for the preceding year,
when It totaled more than 1190,000.
As a result of Omaha's exoellent record
In the matter of fires and the light losses,
as compared with other cities of similar
slse, or others In oomparlson, fire Insur
ance rates here are not likely to be raised
tor some time to come, while Increased
rates will be put In effect In many other
towns and ottles In Nebraska and sur
rounding states.
Assistant Chief Simpson was unable to
ascribe any cause for Omaha's light fire
loss excepting "pure luck." While It Is true
Omaha has a very efficient body of fire
fighters the element of luck must also be
taken Into consideration.

KIDDLE HEARING TUESDAY
Grain Man Will Have His Prelim
inary on Updike Charge.
VON DORN STILL HIS FRIEND
Tkoaaa He "nes film to Replevin
Knraltnre as Satisfaction of
Debt, He Makes Defense
of Him.
The preliminary examination of Elmer J.
Kiddle, presldenr of the Kiddle Grain com
pany, arrested on the charge of grand lar
ceny from the Updike Grain company, and
released under ball of $1,000, will take
place In police court Tuesday morning.
The specific charge against Kiddle is that
he stole certain bills of lading covering
931 bushels of rye, consigned to Updike
Grain company, to the value of $.177.80. The
complaint was sworn out by Harley Mc
Cordel, manager of the Updike concern.
Another little deal of Kiddle's bobbed
Into light when J. E. Von Dorn swore out
In county court a writ of replevin for Kid
dle's office furniture. The furniture had
already been attached by the sheriff and
the replevin was given to Coroner Heafey
for service on Sheriff Bralley.
This bill of sale was recorded
In the office of the county clerk
Monday, It deeds the furniture In return
for a consideration of $175, which Von
Dorn says was due him on a contract for
services as an attorney. This was three
days before Kiddle deeded to Mrs. Kiddie
through Miss Nellie Rubin, a stenographer.
Miss Rubin appears as a witness to the
bill of sale.
The replevin suit of Von Dorn will be
fought out In county court and on trial
the relations of Kiddie and Von Dorn may
have soms illumination. Von Dorn was
formerly In the grain business, after which
he became a lawyer.
Von Dorn Makes m Statement.
Mr. Von Dorn made this statement, ex
plaining his relations to Kiddle:
"In the first place, I was employed by
Mr. Kiddle as his attorney, and in view
of his financial condition toon the furni
ture referred to as payment In advance
for legal services, which It was apparent
would be necessary. Mr. Kiddle and I
have never before or since had any busi
ness arrangement or any agreement of
any character whatsoever since 190G, when
Mr. Kiddle was employed by me as an
assistant In the gTaln business. Whatever
has been done by Mr. Kiddle with my
knowledge or advice has been done In an
open and above board manner. There has
not been any attempt at any time to
evade In any manner any o his liabili
ties. .
'Mr. Kiddle Is only one out of thou
sands of good men who have been unfor
tunate In business. He expects to obey
the law in every particular, at the same
time securing to himself that reasonable
protection which the law gives him for
the benefit of his family.
"Mr. Kiddle was a member of the Oraln
exchange In high standing and highly re
spected, but he met with misfortune, and
now It Is not right to kick nlm when he
is down, and I for one am not going to
do It. , - " ,
"Tho statement that I was Mr. Kiddle's
attorney at the time the suit for, separate
maintenance was brought last June by
MrB. Kiddle Is untrue, as, according to
my best recollection, I knew nothing about
the matter until it was settled.
1 "The statement that I attempted to in
jure Justice Cockrell on the eve of an
election is unjust and untrue. The peti
tion filed by Charles M. Burdge against
Judge Cockrell, In which matter. I was
the attorney for Mr. Burdge, speaks for
itself. And the case is still pending.
GRIST OF THE POLICE COURT
Jadae Feels Good and as a Result
Several Prisoners Get Off
Easily.
Charles Porter, arrested on complaint of
his wife, who claimed he had abused her
and caused a disturbance In their home,
was discharged In police court after Judge
Crawford had cautioned Porter against
drinking. The Judge sort of piaced Porter
on his honor and advised him to make a
man of himself.
. The Judge was In somewhat of a lenient
mood and the result was several prisoners
brought before htm, charged with drunken
ness were discharged.
George Irvln, an old acquaintance of the
court, was brought up on such a) charge.
"Why don't you stay at the poor house
where you belong?" asked the court.
"Judge, if you let me go this time I
promise you I'll start for Wyoming today
and' you'll never see me again," said the
accused.
"Qo ahead," replied the Judge; "do It as
a favor to me."
The care of the rioters arrested at
Eighteenth and Mason streets Friday after
noon was put over until Tuesday.
Jensen Bros., charged with selling milk
not chemically pure, were assessed 5 and
costs.'
W, C. Hurley and his wife, who have
been separated for several years, became
engaged tn an altercation Friday afternoon,
because, Mrs. Hurley said, her husband
had tailed to provide for their little girl.
Hurley was fined $10 and costs and Mrs.
Hurley was released.
The case of George Penn, charged with
aiding and abetting a delinquent child,
was fixed for Thursday morning.
OPTOMETRY JLAW EFFECTIVE
Statate la Knock ins; Silks Hats Off
the Spectacle Fakers, Says
Hnteson.
The State Board of Optometry will hold
the last examination of the year for appli
cants for licenses at the Young Men's
Christian association November 10 and 11.
The board has received the applications of
thirty candidates to appear at this exam
ination. "The law governing the practice of
optometry Is having Its effect" says J. C.
Huteson of Omaha, secretary of the state
board. "There Is a marked difference
throughout the state on account of the
absence of the silk-hat 'professor' and the
cheap spectacle vender."
The examination requires a student to
lke the equivalent of 75 per cent for
the Issue of a certificate of license, but
those reaching 60 per cent will be allowed
to practice until the next test

CUMMINS TALKS
ON THE TARIFF
(Continued from First Page.)
doctrlnea and sustaining Its candidates.
Their struggle will be within the lines, but
they will not hide the truth as they see It,
for they know that If the republican party
is to be permanently successful It must be
faithful to Its platforms and must meet
courageously and JuHtly the new age of
commerce and business with Its new prob
lems and questions. It cannot any longer
be progressive In Its platform and stand
pat In Its. congress.
PIntform Only Arbiter.
"A few moments ago I said that I was
willing to accept an arbiter as to the repub
licanism of those who voted against the
tariff bill, and I hasten to name the Judge.
I appeal to the national republican plat
form of 1906; and, tested by the criterion
of that Instrument, the republican voters
of the United States will determine, Just
as rapidly as they have the opportunity to
do so, whether our votes were in accord
ance with Its declarations and pledges.
"I am astounded to hear so modest a man
as the speaker of the house claim that the
leaders who constructed the tariff bill and
the majority which passed It constitute the
republican party. To say that because a
majority of the republican members of
congress were In favor of attaching certain
duties to certain commodities, and other
members In a minority were In favor of
attaching other duties to the same com
modities, that therefore the minority had
rebelled against the party, is nonsense of
so sublime a degree that It provokes not
debate but derision.
"I understand perfectly that It would
have been helpful to party harmony If we
could have voted t . uher; but that Is not
the question. The to.Xtmm was for pro
tection. All the republicans In congress
were for protection; but the view of these
high priests appears to be that if they
thought thati upon any given article pro
tection required 50 pr cent, and we thought
the article would be amply protected with
25 per cent, 'unless we voted for 50 we were
no longer republicans. - The whole proposi
tion is so absurd that even the most rabid
member of the triumvirate will not repeat
It often. P
No Reason for Chance.
"There need be no concern about the atti
tude of the Insurgents and their friends
They will do their best to nominate candi
dates who believe In a progressive repub
lican party. .When they succeed, they win
rejoice because a step will have been taken
In the path of reform. When they fall,
they will be republicans still, for If there
ever was a time when there was absolutely
no reason for tranfcferrlng any branch of
the government to democratic hands, thle
Is the time, individually. I have high re
gard for tho Integrity land patriotism of
many of the democratic senators and repre
sentatives in congress, but collectively they
are more unfit to manage the affairs of
a great country than ever before In the
history of the organisation. Nevertheless,
we do not Intend to accept as final the
revision of the tariff against which we
voted, and We do Intend to tell the peoplt
of the country from time to time why we
could not and did not give the bill our
approval.
Senator Cummins said he did not want
it to ba understood that the majority of
the republicans In congress were unfaith
ful lo tho pledges of their party. He did
think, however, that congress had not th
Information that was necessary to enable
those who believed In protection to ap
ply the doctrine as it wus defined In tha
platform. "There nev-r cn be a gen
uine republican revision of the tariff,"
h said, "until a body of intelligent men
shall Inquire Into and collect the faots
which relate to the cost of production at
home and abroad "
Not for General Revision.
Srnator Cummins said he had never ad
vocated a seneral revision of the tariff
and nner wmld. "The crusade," said
he, "whl.'h I Intend to strengthen with ail
my powtr Is a crusade for a tariff com
mission a permanent, dignified and in
dep:r.dnt tariff commission, tariff com
misFlon that will gather together the facts
as to cost of production and lay them
before congress and the country.
'There are millions of republicans who
btliwo that tariff duties should not sub
stantially exceeJ the difference between
the cost of producing things here and
tUewhere with a fair profit added. I
believe they constitute a large majority
of the party, but If they do not, they will

the fight until they win the victory, and
I warn the men who are so vociferous in
their decrees of expulsion that they had
better conserve their strength for self
defense. They will need all they have and
more.
"Let us silence at once and forever the
discordant cry that these republicans must
be driven from the party ranks. There
Is no power on earth that can drive them
out, and no power on earth that can pre
vent them eventually from faithfully ap
plying tho doctrine which won the confi
dence and secured t the support of the
voters of the United States In the last na
tional campaign. The puny efforts of the
few men who are now amusing themselves
revising the republican roster remind
me of that famous convention held by
three tailors of London, In which resolu
tions of grave Import were preceded with
a preamble which began, 'We, , the people
of England.' The convention adjourned
and the people laughed. Trie triumvirate
will dlssolvo and the people will smile.
"Hitherto, although there have been
some irreclaimable and hopeless obstruc
tionists who have been and are repub
licans, the party as a whole has been
progressive. There are some signs now
that a number of our distinguished leaders
think that we have gone far enough, and
that we should settle down, for a period
at least, Into the quiet and poaco of In
action. I hazard the prediction that If
we do, the ramp we pitch will be our
burial ground."
Discusses Currency Question.
Senator Cummins then took up the cur
rency question, lie alluded to the fact
that Senator Aldrlch was in the city dis
cussing this subject. He said he was un
familiar with the views or plans of Sena
tor Aldrlch regarding the matter, but
earnestly hoped to be able to give Senator
Aldrich's plan the support of his vote In
the senate.
"I fear, however," continued Mr. Cum
mins, "that It will involve one of two
things, both of which I look upon as hos
tile to the welfare of the American people.
Any plan which subjects the volume of
our currency to the power and Judgment
of a few men who may become selfishly
Interested In either expanding It or re
ducing It, Is bad, and If carried Into exe
cution would enslave the financial world
as completely as some parts of the Indus
trial field are now held In bondage. Such
a scheme, whether called a central bank
or any other name, Is intolerable. Like
wine, we must avoid a financial Institu
tion with the power to control the money
of the country, the possession or man
agement of which would be an Issue be
tween political parties. Any system which
takes away from a commercial community
the power to easurably take care of Itself
during periods of stress and storm will be
reactionary rather than progressive.
"There are some very good men who
think that we have completed all that
ought to be dons In the way of regulation
A railways and other common carriers.
These are the conservatives of whom 1
have spoken. As I view the subject, we
have scarcely made a fair beginning. There
B one fundamental phase of the subject
which has not been touched, and one of
the most flagrant wrongs which ,1s yet to
1 e righted. The fundamental commission
.clutes to tlin capitalization of railway
corporations, and the other concerns fair
ness in railway rates as between com
munities and localities.
Question of Itullroad Rates.
"To me it seems absurd to attempt to
regulate the rates of common carriers
until It Is determined upon what capital
tho railway companies can lawfully de
mand a reward. It Is at this point that
congress has been unjuat to the rail
ways. It is plain that one of the first
things we ought to do as a government
is to fix a basis upon which carriers may
earn Interest and dividends. There are
some tiling" which having been done can
not be undone, and, therefore, we may
be compelled to accept the present capital
ization; but we ought to Immediately pro
vide that hereafter there shall be no cap
italization that do-s nut represent Inde
pendent investment; and by that I mean
that neither surplus earnings nor Increase
In the value of property should be cap
italized. When these provisions arj made
and rutes arc under consideration there
can be an Intelligent opinion with re
spect to their adequacy.
"Althogether, the most Important phase
of the regulation of railway rates Is In
hopeless confusion. It is everywhere ad
mitted that the railways In order to serve
what they believe to be their ojfn In
terests have through a false and unjust
relation of rates built up Some commu
nities and destroyed othsra. This prac
tice has continued so long and effectually

rates over which congress has Jurisdiction
and that can be committed to the Inter
state Commerce commission for supervi
sion should be reviewed as parts of one
great system.
"There ought first to be devised a uni
form plan of making up railway tariffs
and upon the commission this duty should
be Imposed. Then, within a period that
would enable tha work to be done, the
carriers should be required, pursuing a
uniform method, to file with the commis
sion all their lnter-state rates. Then, within
a further period, the commission should
consider these rates, not only absolutely,
but comparatively. If changes were thought
advisable hearings would taka place, so
that the commission might be fully In
formed. When that work Is done the rates
should be promulgated with the approval
of the commission and . thereafter there
should be no change in them without the
consent of the commission. Until we are
willing to do something of this kind the
railways will be harrassed by never ending
complaints, and tho people will continue
to suffer the Injustice which now prevails.
"But the railway problem Is not the only
one which is Insisting upon a solution. We
must make up our minds quickly whether
It is worth while to use the power of the
govfrnment and save competition as the
controlling force In commerce."
Mr. Cummins said that the so-called anti
trust taw, which Is the only federal prohi
bition against monopolies and combinations.
Is a miserable failure. "In my Judgment,"
he continued, "when competition goes our
form of government will go with It. The
protection which rivalry In business gives
to the people Is the one barrier that social
ism cannot cross. The men who In their
lust for power and love of wealth are
trampling down this fundamental principle
of Independent life are the real socialists
of the age. I am in favor of strengthening
the anti-trust law so that any concentra
tion of capital, whether it be In corporate
form or otherwise that will have the effect
of destroying or Impairing substantially
competition, shall be nnlawful; and I am
In favor of a graduated tax that will make
It unprofitable to so enlarge a business
that It will occupy the entire field to
which It belongs."

Protest Against
Rates on Hats
Chicago Milliners Say; They Should
be Based on Weight Instead of
Six e of Boxes.
CHICAGO, Nov. 7. Women's hata havn
grown so large that the wholesale milli
ners of Chicago protested against the rates
charged for carrying them by the express
companies at a hearing before the Illinois ,
Railroad and Warehouse commission here k
today. The milliners contended that tho
express companies did not have the right
to charge for the slse of the boxes con
taining the fashionable hats, but only for
the weight.
One milliner testified that the hats were
constantly Increasing In else, but not In
price, and that he did not understand why
Iron should be carried cheaper than wom
en's hats.
H. C. Barlow of tbe Chicago Association
of Commerce testified that the express
companies are grossly overcapitalized and
that their recent advances in rates were
exorbitant.
: The hearing was continued until Decem
ber , when the express company will sub
mit their evidence.
