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.'

INTERESTING ARABIC
TABLETS RECEIVED HERE
Henry V. Kleser, of Kleier'a book store,
has just received some mors interesting
tablets from Edgar J. Banks, who has
probably mode more explorations Into
Qabylonian- history than any man ot
the present' time and who' but recently
returned 'from there, bringing with him a
large number of tablets. These were
found by' Arabs, under his direction. They
all bearInktrlptlons 'which are readable
to men who understand the helroglyphlc
languages. These tablets have been
scattered, through the ' United States,
among about forty museums and public
libraries, including the Congressional
'lbrary at Washington. .It is possible
:hat come of them will be retained In
lie city for the Omaha Public library
md museum. They are of a peculiat
construction, representing materials
I mewhat like modern -clay. They art
.oi y llsht and yet the substance seemi
ja be quite hard. The Inscriptions arc
' ore like fine carving. They will be ar-
an-ed so that they can be seen and
r&rd'ed by those Interested, in the
Kier book store, in the Young Men's
christian association building. Many of
ihtiri are 6.000 years old.

'The aim of the .railroad Is to put more

Omaha was the butt of many a Jest from

at the stock yards at 4:15 and hied him
self to Seymour lake club, where the

there but a fow waiters, he soon found
his mistake, but It was then too lata to
get to Carter lake, several miles away,
in time to get any clams.
