CROWDS IN AT THE FINISH Judges of the district court Satur. day afternoon heard arguments in what they fervently hope will prove the beginning of the final chapter of the jail elevator feud or so-called courthouse vendetta between Johnny Lynch and Sheriff Clark. The bone of contention in the fight is a job paying less than $100 a month, in which the judges had to be called in to say whether Lynch's man or a Clark employe was entitled to rat tle the levers in a "two-by-four" ele vator. Crowd to Witnesfe. The court room was crowded with judges, commissioners, the sheriff and his deputies, engineers, firemen, jani tors, the county attorney, elevator operators, lawyers galore and other interested courthousers. Adherents of the Lynch crowd glared at the sheriff's deputies and the latter glared back. But there were no hostilities. The presence of the judges seemingly put a "peace dove" angle to the hearing. County Attorney Magney suggested that the issue in the case was whether the commissioners or the sheriff had the right to appoint an elevator oper ator. He said that the law gives the county board this right. One of the sheriff's attorneys made a counter suggestion that maybe the issue was whether the sheriff was to run his own office or let someone else run it for him. Denial of Tampering. General denials were made by the commissioners' subordinates that any one had tampered with the elevator save on one occasion when Commis sioner Lynch ordered the power shut off following a report to him that one of the sheriff's men was "playing in is yard. Commissioner Lynch told the judges that he had given his man strict orders to live up to the rules. sheriff s deputies told of repeatedly signaling for the elevator whose con ductor, they asserted, didn't answer their signals and the prisoners finally had to be "walked" to the court room. The judges took the case under ad visement for a decision this week. Inheritance Tax on Brandeis Estate Is Estimated at $10,000 According to the appraisement filed in the county court, the estate left by the late Arthur D.

Brandeis, and S25.0UU to his two sis ters, Mrs Ruth Brandeis Stcx" and Miss Leola Brandeis.

When the Interstate Commerce commission gave the railroad permis sion to charge the increased rate dur ing the last winter the permission was for a limited period of time. That permission expires May 1, and it is definitely understood that the roads are preparing to ask the commission to extend that permission. The rate of demurrage now in ef fect under this permission is $1 per car for the first day it is held after the expiration of free time, $2 for the second day, ?.1 for the third day, and $S for every day thereafter. This, however, has never affected Omaha manufacturers on business within this state, as it merely applied to interstate business.

Fling Lecture Is Held Up By Orchestra Engagement On account of the performance of the New York Symphony orchestra in Omaha Friday evening the mem bers of the Kqual Franchise society have been obliged to change the date of the last lecture by Prof. Frederick Morrow Fling from Friday evening to the evening of April i. At that time he will deliver his lecture on the fourth floor of the Douglas countv court house, with "The Great Settle ment" as his subjeect. These lectures have been very suc cessful events and have been much enjoyed by all who have heard them. A number of people have had trouble in finding the lecture hall. The eve ning of the last lecture one gentleman found himself on the second floor of the city hall in a meeting of girl base hall enthusiasts whom he had mis taken for the Equal Franchise meet- nig. It did, however, affect them on ship ments into Wyoming, the Dakotas, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Montana and Idaho, all of which are consid ered legitimate trade territory for Omaha manufacturers, and into all of which states a great deal of Omaha made goods is annually shipped. This interstate demurrage increase was allowed by the Interstate Com merce commission as a kind of emergency measure, designed to help relieve the car-shortage situation. It was thought that the holding of cars by the shippers long after they should normally have been expected to be unloaded was one of the causes of the car shortage. It was hoped that the increased demurrage charge would furnish an incentive to ship pers to unload cars quickly and put them at the disposal of the railroads again. How much this may have done toward relieving the pressure no one can say, but the fact remains that the car-shortage condition was not noticeably relieved after the permis sion went into effect.
