From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. S.-(Special.) "There
ought to be an ordinance passed by every
city and village prohibiting the pasting
of paper or cloth advertising on the sides
of buildings or fences," said Fire Commis
sioner Randall this morning. The remark
of the fire commissioner was caused by
the recital of an incident which happened
a short time ago when he was Inspecting
some buildings in a Nebraska town. One
building especially attracted his noth
from the large number of posters on the
side, and he called the attention of the
owner to the danger which it placed the
building in from fire. However, the owner
could not see the matter in the way that
Randall did and so the latter took a
match and set fire" to a lile patch of
grass which ran along the side of the
building. In an instant the posers on
the building caught fire and It was with
difficulty that the fire was put out.
"People are too careless along these
lines." said the fire commissioner, "and
this little incident is only one of the
many that exists In the state. It is a
wonder that there are not more fires
the way people take chances."
Old Klevntor Manner.
A complaint has been filed with Fire
Commissioner Randall by the chairman
of the Board of Trustees of the village
of Davenport against the Shannon Grain
company of Kansas on account of an
abandoned grain ' elevator on the St.
Joseph & Grand Island railroad in that
town. The building is very aid and in
poor condition and standing as It does
within about eighty feet of other build
ings has become a menace to the other
property around it. The company will
be notified to tear it down.
Hall Donrd Unity flody.
The railway commission has had a
pretty strenuous month on account of
' the numerous hearings before It and dur
ing the balance of August will endeavor
to keep out of the hearnlg ouslness until
it can catch up In writing opinions on
cases heard. There' are a few cases yet
before the commission, among them the
hearing of Grand Island for . lower rates
southeast . on the St. Joseph road, the
Plainview Union depot matter and com
planits of shippers aganst the South
Omaha Stock yards.
Wantd to See Moose.
Some of the minor offices In the state
house were locked and others practically
deserted this afternoon so that the
"clerks" could see the parade of the
Rlngllng Bros.' circus, which passed on
the north side of the state house grounds.
The cause of the unusual interest was a
9 viiiv,ii. that th.r. wnnM tiA 4n the. niimdl
a full-grown bull moose, and as most of
the employes had only seen the two
legged kind," which abounds In such num
bers in Lincoln at the present time, they
were anxious to observe the real thing
with four legs.

Zone System for Tickets.
The application of the Lincoln Traction
company to the railway commission for
permission to reduce the number of

matters, has been denied by the commis
sion, In part, but the company will adopt
.the zone scheme in the handling of Its
passenger traffic, and passengers outside
of the prescribed zone will be obliged to
pay the regular 5-cent fare. Inside the
limit the slx-for-a-quarter rate will con

GYPSY WOMEN SHORT

GDAND ISLAND, Neb.. Aug. 8. -(Special.)
Though on the bench for nine
years' County Judge Mullin had this
week Vt l.Nt experience of the suspen
sion of a part of the fine by. the fined.
Several gypsies were arrainged before
his bar, charged with larceny from the
person. The evidence proved their guilt
and they were fined in the .sum of X
each. They pleaded for , a reduction of
the fine and upon a promise to leave
tins vicinity the judical heart softened,
but not to the extent urged. They wanted
a further reduction of $5. The court
was adamantine, and the money was paid
over. Some time aiter their departure the
ludge again counted the bills and found
:hat he had 'been 1 short-changed i in "a
decidedly" slippery way. There was a
search for, the short-changers with con
tempt' proceedings in the balance, but
the wanderers had made , good their
promise to leave the surroundings tor

NORTH PLATTE REJECTS :
TELEPHONE FRANCHISE
NORTH PLATTE. Neb., Aug. 8.-(Spe-cial.)
An Interesting special election was
held in this city yesterday in connection
with the telephone franchise. Tears afco
a franchise was granted to the North
Platte Telephone company, to occupy the
streets and alleys with their poles, wires,
etc., for the purpose cf conducting a gen
eral telephone business. The telephone
company was then operated by parties le
sldlng here.
About a year ago the Nebraska Tele
phone company purchased the plant here
and later began to erect a new sysun,
which was put in use the first of June.
The Nebraska Telephone company askd
for a franchise' and it was granted, but
the people were very much dissatisfied
with the terms of the franchise and a
referendum election was had August 2,
at which this franchise was overwhelm
ingly defeated.- The original grant to the
North Platte Telephone company did not'
read to any successors or assigns. A
few weeks ago a resolution was offered
to .the city council by the telephone com
pany, which virtually amounted to an
assignment of the old franchise which
was granted .to the North Platte Tele
phone company. This resolution was
passed by, a bare majority of the council
and immediately a referendum petition
was filed. At the election yesterday the
action of the council was reversed uiid
this resolution turned down by a vote of
'.S3 it 93. ,
Considerable dissatisfaction exists In
this city with reference to the telephone
rates put in force by the Nebraska Tele
phone company. Under the former sys
tem,, residence rate was $1.50 per month
for a one-party line with a ground cir
cuit. The new system is metallic and
the residence rate now charged Is 12 for
one-party, line. There are no rates
charged anywhere else in the state higher
than the rates here, except Omaha and
Lincoln.

HEAVY RAINS HELPING '
PREVENT CAR SHORTAGE
Railroad men report that the coal car
situation is a little easier than a week
ago and that right now coal Is being
brought througli on record time. They all
agree that when once the heavy move
ment of grain starts to market, It's going
to be difficult to get cars for coal, but
In the .meantime, they hope to have the
equipment make one or two round trips,
bringing In sufficient coal to last until
the grain Is well out of the way and a
large number of cars are released.
It Is contended that the frequent rains
are helping out on the impending car
shortage for the movement of grain.
These rains are preventing the farmers
from threshing and consequently are
doing much toward a solution of the car
situation.

Says Harriman Knew
of Times Dynamiting
LOS ANGELES. Aug. S.-The defense
In tho bribery trial of Clarence S. Dar
row, obstructed the rebuttal case of the
prosecution today, first by a lengthy
continuation of the cross-examination
begun yesterday of O. II. F. Mayer, the
"mysterious stranger," and later by
blocking an attempt to Impeach the tes
timony of Job Harriman. one of the Im
portant defense witnesses.
In the latter effort the entire after
noon was consumed by arguments con
cerning the admissibility of testimony
by Edward Adams Can ti ell. a socialist
lecturer, which purported to show that
Harriman had knowledge of the plot to
blow up the Los Angeles Times build
ing. Judge Hutton took the question
under advisement until tomorrow.
The question put to Cantrell was
whether on October l.y 1910, in San Luis
Obispo, Cal., Job Harriman had snld
to him with reference to the blowing
up of tho Times building: "I have
known for some time that preparations
were being made to pull off the Job."
Before an objection could be made,
Cantrell gave an affirmative answer,
but It was Htrlcken out. The witness
testified that at the time mentioned he
was a candidate for secretary of state
on the socialist ticket and that he and
Harriman were engaged In the campaign.
