WANTSJLP. FAGTS
State Board Would. Know
About Road in Order to
Attack Two-Cent Fare
Injunction.
(From a SUff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Nek, Aug. 4. (Special.)
The Nebraska State Railway commis:
sion, in connection with the trial of
the 2-cent fare injunction suit of the
Missouri Pacific railroad in the
Omaha federal court, will ask an in
quiry into the ownership of the road
uetore it went into receivership, the
manner of its reorganization and the
actual consideration paid by those
wno now own the road.
With these facts at hand the com
mission expects to show the follow
wg: 1
- Whether the Missouri Pacific Rail
way company, the parent corporation,
owni any property in Nebraska at
the present tima. Attorney J. A. C.
Kennedy, in a recent affidavit in a suit
involving a transfer switch at Su
perior, said that the road owned none
May Dissolve Injunction.
If the road owns no property th
commission will insist that the iniunc
'jn against 2-cent fares be dissolved
on the grounds that the road cannot
maintain the suit.
If the new owners of the Missouri
Pacific paid but a small amount for
their holdings the state expects to
show that it is not worth as much as
its attorneys claim in fixing a basis
for its earnings.
The commission is also asking what
the separate earnings and expenses of
the Grosser branch and the Virginia
branch are, and whether the remain
der of the Missouri Pacific's system
does not pay a fair return under the
aw. Objection will be made to in
eluding the Virginia branch in the
road's properties, as it is one of the
poorest lines from the standpoint of
earnings.

Chicago, Aug. 4. As Chicago's
answer to the call to colors and Chi
cago's rebuke to slackers and draft
rioters, more than 8,000 whose names
have been called by the draft boards
marched through the streets today to
the music of military bands and the
accompaniment of cheers from thou
sands. As they marched they sang the
brave words of "America Wake Up"
and the refrained "If you don't like
your Uncle Sammy, just go back
home," showed the sentiment of the
marchers and won hearty response
from the onlookers.
Each division of the eighty-six com
panies of registrants, one for each of
the exemption districts, was led by
one student officer from the training
camp at Fort Sheridan.
The parade, the first of its kind in
the country, was reviewed by Major
General Thomas H. Barry, com
mander of the Central department of
the army. With him were the Rus

Pope's Patience With
Teutons About to Break
Rome, Aug. 4. It is stated in Vati
can circles that the pope's impartial
attitude, towards official Germany is
undergoing a change. The pope is
reported to regret greatly the action
of Germany in connection with the
deported Beljians.
The new attitude appears to hai
been adopted after the fall of Dr. von
Bethmann-Hollweg, the imperial
chancellor, who just before his resig
nation wrote what now is apparent,
was a farewell letter to the holy
father thanking him for his forbear
ance and also calling attention to
the fact that' he had always tried his
best to grartf the pope's demands re
garding prisoners.
Although an absolute break with
Germany is not expected at this time,
it is certain that the Belgian deporta
tions are daily making more difficult
the maintenance of relations. The
pope's personaf position is also un
comfortable as the result of the fight
made by Anglo-French and Belgian
Catholics, who long have claimed
that thepope was surrounded by cen
tral empire innuci.ecs.
