spite the spirit that has swept the

the Fifth regiment to war strength
and the intimation that North Platte's
boys would soon be called for field
duty has at last roused the spirit of
the citizens and Old Glory is floating
from practically every public building
and private residence in the city.
At a meeting of Company E, called
here, First Sergeant S. S. Spillman
was elected first lieutenant and First
Duty Sergeant Percy- Schott, second
lieutenant, to succeed Mac Abbott of

STATE HAS NO RIGHT
TO CEHS0RM.P. PAPER
Attorney General Seed Holds
Nebraska Commission Lacks
Authority.
NOT DOMESTIC COMPANY
(FYora a fluff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 31. (Special.)
The Nebraska state railway commis
sion has no authority to issue or no
jurisdiction over the issuance of se
curities by the Missouri Pacific Rail
way company, according to an opin
ion of Attorney General Reed given
out today in response to a request
from the commission for authority.
The new organization of the Mis
souri Pacific had held a conference
with the state railway commission to
ascertain the steps necessary for au
thority to issue securities in the sum
Of $383,000,000.
The attorney general holds further
that such securities, if in conformity
to the law of the state of Missouri,
would be valid without any approval
whatever from the Nebraska com
mission, and should the Missouri Pa
cific in the future become domesti
cated, the validity of the bonds issued
by such corporation would not in any
manner be affected by the ommission,
failure or refusal of the Nebraska
commission to approve the same, it
being beyond the power and author
ity of the commission of this state to
act and likewise of the legislature to
authorize the commission so to act
Attorney General Reed cites sev
eral opinions of the United States
courts and also the constitution of
the state regarding the matter to
justify the opinion.

North Platte, Neb., March 31.
(Special.) Completely buried be
neath two feet of hot cinders, John
Sullivan, a track laborer employed
near the Union Pacific roundhouse
here, narrowly escaped being literally
roasted alive. Only the quick action
of fellow laborers in pulling him from
his precarious position saved his life.
Sullivan had crawled under a cinder
dump car to do some work and the
man in charge of the car, not know
ing of his presence, pulled the lever
that emptied the hot embers. Cov
ered by the cinders, Sullivan managed
to uncover his head and scream for
help. Several laborers, hearing his
cries, rushed to his aid and pulled
him from the cinder bed.1 Because
some of the cinders had cooled, Sulli
van escaped any burn about the head
and face, but both hands and feet and

For Bond Issue Votes
(From a Staff CorrMpondent.)
Lincoln, March 31. (Special.)
The majorities that it shall take to
carry a bond issue in units of the
state of Nebraska have variegated
careers in the 1917 legislature.
For instance, H. R. 406, relative to
country school bonds, now requires
a two-thirds vote. Under the original
bill this was not changed.
A house standing committee re
duced the proprotion to carry such
a bond to 50 per cent.
The house committee of the whole
advanced it a. notch and made it 55
per cent
The senate committee of the whole
today grafted another 5 per cent on,
making a three-fifths vote necessary.
