RAILROAD PLAN
fhlnk Carriers Should be
Turned Back to Private
Owners as Soon as
Possible.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Jan. 12. (Special.) All
three member of the Nebraska
State Railway commission have an
nounced thrir opposition to the plan
of former "Director General McAdoo
for continuing operation-f the rail
roads under government guarantee
as to earnings, with a view of their
ultimate retention and purchase by
the government. The commission
ers' views are set forth in a tele
gram which they sent to President
Elmquist of the National Associa
tion of Railway Commissioners yes
terday. The members of the Nebraska
Railway commission think the roads
should be turned back to their pri-'
vate owners as soon as possible.
Chairman Tom Hall of the commis
sion is inclined tq favor public own
ership, but r.ot of the brand pro
posed by Mr. McAdoo. Commis
simier Taylor is dead against pub
lic ownership, while Commissioner
Vic Wilson eays he is still open to
conviction.
Reserve Right to Make Changes.
In its telegi im, the Nebraska
board indicates that it is willing to
put the McAdoo rates into effect on
traffic within the reserve, as an
emergency measure, but will retain
the right to change them and order
new rates alter an investigation.
This is on the understanding that
the railroads' will be allowed nothing
r.bove the fixed charge and the reg
ular dividends while the -McAdoo
scale is in efi'ect. "
Here is the telegram which it
sent:
, "Replying letter January 6, are
opposed. ..to McAdoo's five-year plan.
We favor turning back railroads to
private control as soon as congress
ran relieve them of provisions of
Shctuuiii anti-trust act. If reads
are returned, we will, by emergency
order, validate all existing intra
state freight rates, pending-our in
vestigation and determination of
their reasonableness, subject to the
condition that only fixed charges
and regular dividends may be paid
from revenues as a return during
existence of emergency rates. Com
mission is divided on government
ownership. '

ka from the 1918 levy as reported

aaturaay nignt, atter announcing
that the family would visit Sunday
Hoskms' father, Wallace Hoskins
president of the Nevinville bank.
"We were all seated at the break
fast table Sunday morning," the
little girl told Sheriff Simpson
First papa mentioned we should
hurry and get ready to go to grand'
pas house. Atather objected. She
said she had decided that she would
not, go. Then paoa Kotawful mad.
He began to scold and mamma got
up trom the table and went out on
the back porch, Then Gladys and
Roy began to fuss, too. They talked
Dack to papa, l'apa scolded. He
talked so loud and mean I thought
mamma, who had started to a neigh
oors, would hear him and come
back. I was afraid. I got up and
was going to run. I Jell down and
papa stepped over me and opened
the back door. He did .not go out,
but picked up something just out
side. . lie walked across the Boor
with an ax handle in his hand.
Something struck me on the head
and I don t remember any more.
Irene ran to a neighbor's house
about 75 yards distant and told that
her father was killing everybody in
the house. When neighbors arrived
on the scene Hoskins was standing
a short distance from -the back
porch, on which was lying the pros
trate and breeding form of the man s
wife. Her head literally had been
crushed to a pulp. In the combina
tion kitchen and dining room lay the
two children, their heads also
crushed like egg shells.
Hoskins must have rained blows
against the heads of the children af
ter life was extinct. Mrs. Hoskins'
face and head were mangled and
crushed until they looked like they
had been mashed under tons of
weight. The room in which the
children were murdered was a total
wreck. The chairs and table were
splintered. Even the pictures on
the wall had been torn from their
places, smashed and scattered over
the floor.' A stream of blood was
running out of the, kitchen door,
mingling with that of the woman,
flowing down a half dozen steps
and trickling along the ground a
distace of 25 feet.

man and her children for a long
time. I could not stand it any
longer. The final chapter of the
whole business will be written when
I have done the same thing to my
self."
Hoskins started to enter the
ho'je paying lie would get his razor
awl end :t al . Iorts to stop him
were of no avail, and when Sheriff
Simpson called at the house a short
while afterwards the man was sea
ed in a chair in the room where the
dead bodies of the boy and girl lay-
stretched on the floor, lhe blood
was gushing from a wound which
he had inflicted in his neck from
ear to ear, and from his wrists.. The
razor lay at his feet. The man wis
almost unconscious from the Joss
of blood. .A physician from Pres-
cott wat, called. He caught the
severed arteries and saved him from
bleeding to death.
Weak From Loss of Blood.
: Hoskins was i unable to make a
statement until today. He was so
weak, however, he was not forced
to talk.' Sheriff Simpson declared
he would question him more closely
as scon as his condition would per
mit it.
It is said by residents of Adams
and Montgomery counties that there
are scores of persons living here
who have not retired at nights since
the brains of eight sleeping persons
in Villisca were beaten out with an
ax, without some kind of a weapon
close by. This is known to have
been a peaceful neighborhood and
entiiely void of crime, until the
Villisca ax murders struck terror
into the entire community, and there
are a great number of persons -who

with revolvers under their heads.
Seme are known to have retired,
taking axes to bed with them as safe
jfuards against the intruder respon
sible for the death of the Moore
family and two little Stillinger girls
Mind May Be Unbalanced.
The fact that Hoskins was keeing
in a convenient place an ax handle
as a weapon, coupled with the fact
that he is known to have devoted
a great deal of his time to brooding
over the Villisca tragedy at the time
it happened, is taken to indicate that
his mind had become more or less
unbalanced.
During the trial of the Rev. Lynn
George J. Kelley at Ked Uak two
years ago, it was pointed out that
Hoskins actions were peculiar in
the extreme. He seemed not to be
able to take his mind from the case
He thought and talked about it con
tinually, neighbors say. No import
ance was attached to the man s ac
Hon at the-time, his friends believing
that Hoskins' mind would become
normal again. '
Recalls Villisca Murder.
During'the investigation of J. N.
Wilkerson, the detective, which is
still under way in Montgomery
county, the excitement extended to
Adams county, and every person in
the two counties was either for or
against Wilkerson in his attempt to
fix the responsibility for the crime
on a prominent Montgomery county
citizen. -Wilkerson carried his fight
into Adams county, making a num
ber of speeches and collecting hun
dreds of dollars for the fund to be
used in connection with the investi
gation. Hoskins also became intensely in
terested in Attorney General Hav
ner's effort in Adamscounty to in
dict Wilkerson for some question
able tactics he is alleged to have em
ployed. ,
With his mind completely unbal
anced, following constant brooding
over this subject,' it is thought Hos
kins lost control of himself when
his wife refused to carry out her
agreement to visit his father.
Friends of the man also think that
MrsNHoskins knew the danger of
the situation when she left the room.
It is pointed out that the woman did
not leave the back porch, and she
must have heard her husband beat
ing the children on the inside. Mrs.
Hoskins was on the back oorch
when the infuriated man rushed out
of the kitchen and set upon her with
the club.

county agent in this county. The
county board sat in judgment. Rep

on the Burlington yesterday killed
John A. Rulla, an aged German resi
dent of sterling. Mr. Rulla, who
was somewhat deaf, was walkine
along the track and did not see or
hear, the approaching extra. The
locomotive and several cars ran
over him before the train could be
stopped. Mr. Rulla was a native
of Germany andj was aged 82 years.
He is survived by his widow and
several children. County Attorney

Iowa Farmers Take Big
Risks Smuggling Booze
(Continued From Page One.)
smuggler is concerned, in Iowa. A
number of farmers in the south
western part of the state, who other
wise bear respectable reputations,
and who have considerable social
standing in their communities, trans
port liquor from St Joseph to their
farms in machines that are not sus
pected by officers because of the ap
parect innocence of the drivers or
owners. The liquor is concealed in
hay stacks or straw stacks and is
delivered across the Missouri boun
daries to the men who make a busi
ness of the game. The farmer is
paid from $10 to $20 per case for his
risk.' The bootlegger then brings
the booze to Council Bluffs, where
he sells it to the Omaha distributor
who has to take the risk of trans'
porting it across tne bridge. This
precaution of dealing in the contra
band within the confines of the
Hawkeye state is to defeat the Reed
law, which makes illegal transpor
tation a crime.
i Bootleggers agree that, the most
dangerous man to come across is
the' conscientious local deputy
sheriff, town marshal or constable,
who is determined on enforcing the
law.
Tb' fools ain t got any sense,
said one. "A hick marshal or a rube
constable pulls his gat and shoots
first, then asks questions , after
wards."
Omaha Man Killed.
It was under these circumstances
that Dan Houston, Omaha, was kill
ed in a fight in the outskirts of a
Nebraska county seat town, and Joe
Beister was wounded in a battle in
a small village in Iowa. Several
other bootleggers have been wound
ed by officers in skirmishes that have
occurred in this state and Iowa, the
victims being rushed to thjs city,
where they were secreted in rooms
known only to the fraternity and
treated bv sursreons, whose discre
tion is summed in the Chinese motto,
"See nothing, hear nothing and say
nothing.
For a long time there was a well
defined booze route that ran from
Pine Bluff, just across the border
from Wyoming, their a wet state,
to Omaha. The route was finally
discovered by booze sleuths, who de.
termined to make it a war zone and
f fnr whiskv oirates. 1

"Haiti" commanded the officers.
The car stooDed. One of the oc-
rnnants called out
genialiy: xou
thfnfc we are bootleggers don't you?"
"Yep, responded an omcer.
"Well, if you are from Missouri,
come and be shown. Look the car
over," called the driver. The of
ficers accepted the invitation and
while their heads were bent in an
insoection of the interior of the
machine they were assaulted by the
crew of the auto who beat the ot
ficers into insensibility with the
butts of their revolvers, leavingJ
the guardians ot the law lying un
conscious on the lonely prairie trail,
Bootleggers themselves have some
exciting experiences. One of them
when he felt he was being pursued
by officers in the southwestern part
of Iowa, hastily ran his machine into
a meadow and unloaded his cargo
and concealed it in a haystack. Just
as he had finished the task he was
startled by a huge dog, which,
without a warning bark or growl
seized him by the leg, embedded
its teeth in the calf of his limb and
held him. After suffering excrutiat
ing pain and mental torture for a
moment the man thought of his pis
tol, pulled it and shot the dog.
Just then the owner appeared and,
looking quietly at the quivering
body of the slain canine said: "You
have killed the best watch dog I
ever had. That booze you have
cached in the haystack, which is on
my premises, will just about pay
the bill."
The bootlegger was in no position
to quibble. He had to let it go at
that. The cargo was worth about
$800, a pretty big price for a dog.

sufficient distance within which even
to check the speed of his train.
When he threw on the emergency
brake,, Engineer Friedley said, the
engine and tender broke away from
the train. Freed from the drag of
the cars, its momentum almost
seemed to make it leap forward and
then came the crash. Neither En
gineer Friedley nor Fireman Brill
was injured.
Engineer Friedley left Buffalo
yesterday afternoon at 5:10 o'clock
and reached Syracuse at 7:30 o'clock.
He laid over there until 1 o'clock
in the morning and then took the
Southwestern Limited westbound.
The train was due at Batavia at 1 :04

Nothing to Obstruct View.
It was a clear, cold night and ob
jects could he seen at a considerable
distance. The track, at the point
wnere tne accident occurred, is
straight away and there is nothing
to obstruct the view of train crews
for miles. The railroad inquiry
is already under way and it is under
stod Coroner Snow plans to begin
one tomorrow.
Only three passengers in the rear
coach escaped instant death. They
were ' Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Lich
terman of New York, and an un
conscious woman, said by the rail
road authorities to be Miss Flora
Doherty of Flint, Mich. Seriously
injured, they were taken to the Ba
tavia hospital.,
Miss Doherty has both legs brok
en and is internally injured. She
is not expected to live through the
night. Mrs. Lichterman is more
seriously injured than her husband.
In addition to body injuries her face
is terribly torn. It was said Mr.
and Mrs. Lichterman were married
only a short time ago and were on
their way to Chicago where Mr.
Lichterman has business interests.
Eleven bodies were removed about
noon and brought to undertaking es
tablishments here. Shortly after 3
o'clock, nine additional bodies were
brought in and it was said that there
were no more in the wreckage.

A reporter ten minutes later step
ped off the elevator on the third

surrounded by a dozen others, who
were giving him eager attention
while he continued to blast the Y.

"It would suit me much better to

When the reporter returned again in
25 minutes, Lieut. Rehling had taken
his departure to the depot.

In the meantime, however several

"It looks perfectly all right to
us," was the general opinion. In
spite of the fact that 300 men had
just come out of the pool, it looked
as clean and as inviting as any pool
anywhere.
'T am at a loss to understand why
such an untriithfud report should be
