Nebraska Kinney Says He Slew Myers Because of Stories About Him GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July 16. (Spe cial Telegram.) Ed Kinney, who yester day afternoon shot and killed Charles Myers, today made a written confession to County Attorney Cunning-ham, in which he related the details of his early life and his recent quarrels, in which some one hurled a vile epithet at him. He related how he had held this against the men he regarded as responsible for the circulation of stories against him, , and how he had come to Grand Island to find out who had started things, pur chased the weapon, tested it and then proceeded to do the shooting. Kinney slept little last night, but today still stated to the sheriff and attorney that he felt Justified In the shooting. He indicated that he was seeking a man named Cook more than Myers. While there were cries on the street as the man was captured and being taken to Jail of "hang him," there waa no dis order whatever and none is feared. Doctors probed for the bullet, found it entering the back near the heart, pene trating both lungs, and being uncondi tionally a mortal wound. A coroner's inquest will be had tonight. Myers was GO years 'of age and had never married. His mother lives at Logan, la., and the father, separated from the family. Is said to be In California, Wayne County Statesman Bring Democratic Political Pot to Boiling Point. BRYAN FIGHT STILL TO FORE (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. July 16. (Special. The ad Tent of Senator Fhlllp Kohl of Wayne Into the political field as a possible can didate for the democratic nomination for governor, depending upon whether Gov ernor Morehead will be a candidate for a third term, created a democratic to- lltlcal stir. It appears to be an open secret thut Mayor Charles Bryan of IJnooln la going to attempt to land that nomination him self. There are also rumors that In case Brother Charlie enters the fight for the gubernatorial nomination there will be a concerted attack on the part of oppo nents of the peace prophet on the Bryan trenches and the the Bryans will find hard sledding In their efforts to take thj governorship. M Judge Thomas of Seward has been ma neuvering around Lincoln hobnobbing with democratic politicians for several days. The Judge is quiet when It comes to discussing his activity at the present time, but some venture the opinion that Seward county may have a candidate for that democratic nomination when the real battle 'begins. If the political mlxup (n the demo cratic ranks can only be fixed up the valiant but very much worried follower of Thomas Jefferson are of the opinion that they can land, but Just how to -fix things up between Mr. Bryan and Sen ator Hitchcock has not been divulged by anyone. The probable appointment of Brother-ln-Law Tommy Allen to tho district atotrneyship and the landing of Judge Tlbbets as postmaster of Lincoln, In the minds of a large number Indicates that the president Is going to givei Bryan what he desires in an effort to keep him loyal to the democratic administration. Senator Hltchoock's followers say that the appointment of Allen Is not fixed and that the, turning over of the postof flce Job to Tlbbeta is only a temporary affair, which will be knocked galley west when Hitchcock goes to Washington and gets the ear sof the powers.

Rehearing in the Southern Lumber Case is Ordered There is gloo mln the ranks of lumber tealers who handle southern yellow pine In Omaha. This la because the old yellow pine rate case, which the Interstate Com merce commission settled "once for all," March 2, 1915, Is again to be reopened for a hearing before the commission. It Is the old fight aa to whether 25 cents Is an adequate freight rate on yellow pine from Helena, Ark., and other yellow pine sections to Omaha and Des Moines, or whether the 26. cents decided upon five years ago by the railroads shall be per mitted. Once the railroads charged 264 cents for a year or two and then the commis sion declared 25 cents an adequate rate. At the same time Jhe commission ordered the railway companies to pay back to the shippers the 14 cents per 100 they had been charging. Then the railway ' companies sought again to establish the 264-cent rate. Re peatedly suspension orders were obtained from the commission by the representa tives of the lumber companies of Omaha, Des Moinea and the southern producers. At last the commission, March 2. 1915, en tenerd the order for th. 25-cent rata, and the lumbermen thought all was aettled. The railroads asked for a reopening of case. This was denied, but on some other technicality the railroads asked for a re opening of the case and got It. The order to have th. case reopened haa Just reached Omaha. The 26-cent order ie to remain In effect, however, pending the rehearing, UTILITY CORPORATIONS PAY THEIR ROYALTIES Royalties have been paid the city for April, May and June aa follows: .
