Railroad Cannot
Force Wires Raised
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Aug. 4 (Special.) The
right of a railroad company to force
a telephone or electric light company
to raise its wires over crossings of
the road when the former had prior
rights, has been declared against the
railway companies by the State Rail
way commission, in a controversy be
tween the Northwestern Railroad
company and the electric light com
pany at Bristow, owned by the city .
It appears that the city council g tve
the railroad company the right to run
a spur through its streets. After the
spur was run the railway company
complained that the wires of the, city
electric plant were not strung, high
enough to meet the law and demanded
that the same be raised.
The city appealed to the commis
sion, which declares that where the
rajls of the company were l:iid after
the wire company had strung its
wires that the expense of raising the
wires must be born by the railway
company. ,

Fraud Order Is
Placed Against
Three Concerns
Washington, Aug. 4. As a result of
an investigation, which is conducted
at the request of the Associated Ad
vertising C lubs of the World in their
campaign for "truth in advertising,"
the Postoffice department today is
sued a fraud order against the Inter
national Automobile league, inc., the
International Automobile Tire com
pany of Buffalo, N. Y., and A. C. Bid
well, president of both concerns.
The request for investigation was
made to the Postoffice department by
Merle Sidener of Indianapolis, chair
man of the national vigilance com
mittee of the advertising clubs. Post
office department records show Bid
well had been indicted by a federal
grand jury in Rochester, N. Y.,
charged with using the mails to
further a scheme to defraud, and that
he and two of his agents have been
indicted by the grand jury at Fayette
county, Pennsylvania, on a charge of
conspiracy to defraud.
Hearings on the complaints cov
ered forty-six days and brought out
testimony that Hidwell and his agents,
soliciting members for the league at
$10 each, represented that the league
had contracts with manufacturers of
standard motor car accessories which
enabled the league to sell them to
members at dealers and manufactur
ers' prices. Manufacturers of such
products testified that the league had
no such contracts and it was said that
inferior accessories were offered in
stead.
The fraud order is based upon
series of other acts held to be illegal
and with intent to defraud. Postof
fice officials say the promoters of the
scheme realized a fortune. .
