WILL FIGHT CUT IN RATES Railroad Traffic Men Now Consider . ing Mode of Procedure. OLD CASE IS NOW REVIVED Cut 'Which Win Ordered Some Time Ago Held Up ATraltliiR the De - cUldn In the Minnesota Rate Cnse. Freight traffic men ot tho Nebraska railroad have discovered that they are; up; against what they consider one of the most serious problems that have ever confronted them, and consequently all of the traffic and legal heads of tho loads have hurried to Chicago, whore they, will meet In conferenco with freight traffic directors- to figure out a .way to combat order No. 19 of the Nebraska State Railroad commission, which, It Is contended, la confiscatory, and which, It enforced, woWd' put the Nebraska lines out of business. I ru September,. 1909, the Nebraska corn mission promulgated order No.-19,- provid ing' for a freight rato reduction of-from' ft) -to GO per cent on all classifications, ex cepting grain, lumber and coal. Tho data for the order to go Into effect was fixed," but In the meantime the Minnesota freight rate case was started and the order was suspended pending a decision of the court. Recently the Minnesota cose was de cided by the courts and adversely to the railroads. Now the -Nebraska commis sion 'has notified the officers ; of the, Ne braska roads to appear at Lincoln during the first week in October and-show cause why! order No. 19 should not be put In forcel That the railroads will fight order No. 10 f before the Nebraska commission and nil 1. ma..-.,- 1- - ' 1 . . I And' thd meeting in Chicago is for th purpose of determining along what lines the legal battle shall be waged. ' Like the Minnesota 'Case. Railroad men hope to win,, but- among' them there Is a feeling that It'. will bt one,- of tho hardest fights ever, .under taking especially when the decision in the Minnesota cose is, squarely against' tnem. j.nere are some Usueu in the Ne braska Case that aro at variance '. with theIssues In the Minnesota case, but in a general way, the two cases are on all tours. v As to the Nebraska grain, lumber and coal, rates, the railroad traffic men say they are now so low that there is no money in hauling the commodities, and this, they believe, is the reason why a still farther reduction is not ordered. The classifications that are to be af fected by the order takes in merchandise of all kinds, . machinery and practically everything ttfat'Ts' hauled. The mora bulky frelght,?Tdwhauled at the lowest rate; is the kfndtthat is to come in on the . 20 per cent cut, while high-class fjolght, like merchandise In .cases, ".takra the ?60 per cent reduction. Members of Social 'Service Board to'; V A .member of the social service board wlll,attend the first performanceof every show in Omaha this winter and' It there Is i objections! lines the secretary of the bqafd will be notified and the' '-manager wilt be instructed to eliminate the of tensive parts. This was agreed upon by themembers of the board at a meotnlg m. nip guy nan unursaay. The members will appeal to Chief ot Police Dunn to order the policemen to respect 'the social iservlce badge. Tho members have had dlffculty impressing upon coppers the fact that their stars are to be respected. It Is said one mem ber of th. board was refused admittance to! a circus last year and that this re sulted in the request to the police chief. Dance hall rules adopted some time ago were reread after having been returned by the International Association of Danc ing'. Masters, which standardized them. These rules will be posted in conspicuous'; places In dance halls. eeOpeningillls Fort School Opens on Monday With Twenty Enrolled Twenty boys will enter the Fort school for boys Monday morning and Principal E. D. Gepson says as many more will be refused admittance 'because they do not need the special Instruction they would receive at this school. MaJJpr Hartman has conceded the use ot the Fort "Omaha gridiron and basa ball diamond for the students In Fort school. Tho boys In this school, wllo do not like books, will be allowed to play and to work at the things which appeal to them. For the benefit ot boys who cannot spell and refuse to learn Superintendent E. V. Graff has Installed a printing press at Fortfs.ch.ool. 'We will not produce printers at this school," fsald the 'superintendent, "but as. far as we go we will teach the boys practical composing and pressroom work. It Is the best way to give them the funda mentals of the education they reject In tho public schoola" Principal Gepson has letters from hun dreds of parents who believe their boys ought to go to this school. As fast as he Can the principal Is Investigating - these cases. Gepson says the case of the boy ot 15 or 16 years ot age who has been compelled to rem,aln in tho fourth or fifth grade appeals especially to him. Several such boys are to bo taught In Fort school. Principal Gepson believes the school will ultimately have an attendance of 360 or 400. Two hundred would enter Monday If the principal cauld take care of them.'

Bald Mr. llohler: 'The aim of the .railroad Is to put more people on the land, that It may haul their products tu market. This may seem telflsh, but we want to get the lands peopled and then see the crops move, and right now we aro figuring out plans to bring more settlers Into the sections along our llnea.
