STEBBINS DECLARES WIRE
COMPANIES WCULD PROFIT
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 16. (Spcclal.)-nepre-sentatlve
Stebbins of Dawes county,
author of the Stebbins' uniform tele
graph bill was at the state house tlits
morning. Mr. Stebbins thinks that there
Is little doubt If the Western Union
would comply with the law and' put Into
effect the rate which gives a ten-word
message a 25-cent charge to any portion
of Nebraska, that they would gain by It.
"Since the telegraph compant&t have
put In effect their night-letter tystem,
tbeir business has Increased wonder
fully," said Mr. StebblnB, "and I believe
that If they would put , In effect this
rate that their business would increase
In the same proportion."
The Dawsan county statesman is one
of those behind movement to call a
referendum for the purpose of tryjng to
knock out an appropriation mado by the
legislature for a memorial armory at
Nebraska City. He thinks it a waiste
of money and that of the people could
vote on it Jhey would kill the law.
Smalt grain In Dawson county and that
seotion of the state, according td" Mr.
Stebbins, Is looking tho best it has for
many seasons. If nothing turns up in
the way of hail or other storms,' he
thinks that the yield will be enormous.

WILD RAGE WITH DEATH
Utica Man Outruns Tornado at Top
Speed in Auto.
FOLLOWS HIM FOR A MILE
ThnnderinjK Before Terrible Funnel
D. T. Virgin nml Drlmnr Contnrv
Thank Sinker dt Antoa for
Their Liven.
UTICA, Neb., May l,-(Speclal.)-Wltl.
death dogging him, the air filled with
flying debris and the roar of a tornado
in his cars, D. T. Virgin of Utica sat at
the wheel of an automobile and, prodding
the machine to Its last notch of speed
won the race and saved his own and
the life of Delniar Coatney.
Virgin was at Coatney's place when
the skies blackened and the funnel shot
across the valley straight for Coatney's
home. Huge tree bent before it. were
lifted out of the earth and torn to splin
ters. Houses crumpled up and wreck
age was thrown wildly out from the re
volvlng cone.
The two men sprang Into Virgin's cai
and started. At the same time the fun
nel veered and came careening toward
them at a frightful pue.
Coatney yelled for moro speed, but
Virgin, holding the wheel, had pushed
the throttle gauge to the last notch.
Tho cloud crept nearer, until it seemed
to hang over them. Coatney clung tc
the auto and Virgin, guiding its course
rould only sense Indirectly tho nearnest
of the twister.
Fifty rods behind the tornadc followed
the men. The machine was jhowered
with light missile;, and heavier chunkt
of debris hurtled past them with a forct
that would have meant Instant death
hnd they struck. The men could feel
the peculiar atmosphere which accom
panied the storm.
"Fatter," Coatney shouted. But Vir
gin was wringing every atom of power
from the sturdy, burning engine.
All Up to the Anto.
It was all up to the auto. A moment's
slackening of the pace and all was over.
A missing cylinder, a punctured tire, a
broken steering gear, a shattered piston?
meant Instant death.
But the automobile kept Its pace. It
seemed to pulsate with life and Its
screaming exhaust hurled defiance to
tho wind.
Then as If by foitic strange whim of the
god of the storm, the tornado vocto!
again, loft tho h'ghway and roatvd
across the fields.
Virgin held to his wheel and did not
Blacken his speed until a mile had been
put between them and the storm.
Commercial Club
Decides Subway is
Needed at Once
Decision has been reached by the ex
ecutive committee of the Commercial
club that a subway connecting the "Bur
lington and Union depots Is an Immediate
necessity, whether the railroads are plan
ning a new Union station or not. The
question of a subway has been discussed
by minor committees of the club and by
other" ' organisations of the city for sev
eral years, but the executive committee
of the Commercial club has never taken
up the matter. It was through the re
commendation of the passenger trans
portation committee that a subway was
needed and should be built that the ex
ecutive committee decided in favor of
It and will support -the efforts of the
transportation committee In securing the
subway.
A committee of four has been appointed
to confer with George W. Holdrege, gen
eral manager of the Burlington, and with
A. t. Mohler, president of the Union Pa
cific, to see what can be done to get
the subway. The committeemen are T.
P. Redmond, Irving F. Baxter, Roy
Byrne and T. I Combs. They will ar
range for a conference within the next
few days and make a report of the re
sults to the executive committee probably
at the Tuesday meeting.
