Called to Mnlnrnctlcc. .
Tho Douglas county grand Jury which
yesterday finished Its work and was dis
charged by Presiding Judge English of
th.e district court returned a report
which deals vigorously with evils re
vealcd. in test mony heard in its secret
chamber. Having returned sixty lndlet-
"ments the. grand Jury wound up Its
career with a message to tho public
whloh spared neither rich nor poor, nor
hfgh nor low, although words of praise
ore given In a few cases.
Tho report sets fohth that tho grand
Jurors have been convinced .that perjured
testimony frequently has been sued In
district court and that the locar bar as
sociation If not without blamo for failure
to reform legal practice
Condemns Albert Inw.
Tho Juvenile department of tho district
cpurt is praised, but tho report declares
that since the Albert law went into ef-
feet three times as many young girls
havo gono astray as during any other
equal period and tho grand jury recom
jnends the restoratlong of a segregated
district in Omaha. That there Is no or-
canlzed cbmmcrclallzed social evil in tho
city at the present time Is a finding of
the Jury. The report also seta forth that
the "lid" safel? covers licensed liquor
dealers at the present time, but, calls at
tention to the, fact that boot-leggers and
drug stores still violate the law.
Tho report delivers a solar plexus blow

Recommendation that the authorities'
give special attention to enforcing tho
laws regarding pool haUs is made.
The management of the county hospital
which many times has been the object of
nttaclt Is praised with other county in
stltutions. but the praise is directed to

of class freight rates from eastern and
central freight association territories to

I made by the Interstate Commerce cora-

stood to be fairly satisfactory,
Class rates between Chicago and points

Is Indicated by the report In tho Cedar

against the Rock Island railway and two
similar cases, that the commodity rates
are to be adjusted on a basis similar to

Predicts Fall of
Interest and
Discount Rates
CHICAGO, March 11 Fall of discount
and Interest rates as a result to be ex
pected from the operation of the federal
reserve act were predicted today In ad
dresses before the closing session of th
Western Economic society's currency con
ference. Security values will be more
stable, it was asserted by William Aroasa
Scott of tho University of Wisconsin. The
provision which leaves details of the ad
ministration of the act to the Federal
Reserve board was said to be wise, by
O M. Sprague ot Harvard.
"Ono of the first and most important
duties of the board will be to determine
the character of the paper which the
reserve banks may discount for mem
ber banks," said Prof. Sprague. "Col
lateral loans upon Btocks or bonds as
security aro expllcltlly excluded, while
commercial paper, whatever Its form, is
eligible."
"The effect of the new law on commer
cial paper houses will be at moot only
change In tho form and not tho nctilre of
the business," it was stated by Robert
C. Schaffner of Chicago. Mr. Schaffner
said it was likely that the new law would
open a new neia lor tne commercial
paper houses, namely that of dealing li;.
bank rediscounts.
