ESCH-POMERENE
BILL OPPOSED
BY M'MASTERS
Assistant Attorney General
Says Broader Power for
Commerce Commission
Not Beneficial.
By a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, July 23, The passage of
the Esch-Pomerene bill now before
congress, which would broaden the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
commission, in the opinion of As
sistant Attorney General McMasters
would not be beneficial to handling
rates and other like matters by state
commissions, but would take from
the state commissions the power of
regulation of intrastate trains and
would be a contradiction of rulings
of courts of the United States.
The opinion of the assistant attor
ney general is given to Thorne A.
Browne,, secretary of the State Rail
way commission, and covers the
proposition very thoroughly. Mr.
McMasters closes by saying:
"If it is really the desire of the
people to transfer the control of
intrastate carriers to the. federal
government, a constitutional amend
ment for that purpose should be
mbmitted to the states. There
ihould be no attempt to secure such
t result by indirection, as it seems to
me is attempted in the Esch-Pomerene
bill. If enacted into law it
would result in years of litigation
and uncertainty, to the inuiry of
A DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS MANKIND
Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1835 Newton originated the
vacuum process for condensing milk
with cane Sugar to a temi-iiquid form.
'In 1883 Horlick at Racine, Wis.,
discovered how to reduce milk to
a dry powder form with extract of
malted grains, without cane sugar.
This product HORLICK named
Malted Milk. (Name since copied
by others.) Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and
the fact that it keeps in any climate
has proved of much value to man
kind aa an ideal food-drink from
infancy to old age.

not only the carriers but of the gen
eral business of the country. It is
interesting to note that at the very
time it is proposed to take away
the power of the state commissions
it is also proposed to establish re
gional commissions. No one sup
poses that the Interstate Com
merce commission could take care
of the added work and responsibil
ity that would be created by this
bill. Some kind of local commis
sions would have to be provided. It
seems strange that with the ma
chinery the states already have at
hand, the power should be removed
from them and new bodies created.
Whatever is done should be done
by constitutional methods."
Burlington Road
Appeals Judgment
Given Cattlemen
Lincoln, July 23. (Special.) The
Burlington railroad has appealed
from a judgment for $1,507.52 given
by the district court of Custer
county to John F. Tierney and John
Conway.
Tierney and Conway September
16, 1916, drove a bunch of 795 fat
steers to the yards of the company
at Thedford for shipment to the
market. While the cattle were in
the yards a train frightened the cat
tle and they broke through the fence
and became scattered over the coun
try. The owners of the cattle alleged
that the fence was out of repair and
the posts decayed; that the cattle
were not used to seeing trains go
by and surging against the fence,
broke it down. Before they could
be rounded up again and. reach the
market they shrank 31,800 pounds,
which at the market price of $7.17
per 100, made a total loss of $1,
990.38, the defendants alleged. The
court gave them $1,507.52.

NEBRASKAN BACK
FROM VISIT TO
CITY OFJEXICO
Rode On Train Guarded by
Carranza Soldiers; Return
Trip Made On Ambassa
dor's Special.
Grand Island, Neb., July 23.
(Special.) Guarded by federal sol
diers of Mexico on his trip to Mex
ico City and on his return journey,
Prof. S. B. Wolbach of Harvard uni
versity, son of S. N. Wolbach of tiii3
city, made both trips in safety aiid
reached Grand Island yesterday after
a somewhat adventurous outing. He
spent a short time with relatives
here and left later for Boston.
A plea from the leading mcdlcil
men of Mexico to Harvard for as
sistance in combatting typhus,
caused Professor Wolbach, bac
teriologist, to make the trip to the
capital of the troubled southern na
tion. He began the Mexican ride at
Laredo, east of El Paso. The train
on which he rode, was preceded by
a pilot train carrying a score of sol
diers, who were on the lookout for
bandits. When he was ready to re
turn, Ambassador Bonillas, Mexico'3
representative to this countrj, in
vited Professor Wolbach to accoir
pany him on his special train. The
governor of Coahuila also was or.
this train. Two hundred soldiers and
two machine guns protected this
train.
The El Paso trains to central
Mexico have been taken off since
the Villa trouble. Professor Wol
bach says Villa's activities are con
fined to the state of Chihuahua.
At Mexico City the professor did
his research work at the national
institute and at a hospital, laid out
by PorTfiro Diaz. Both are splendid
places. Professor Wolbach plans to
return to Mexico City in February.
He found the medical men and civil
authorities anxious to co-operate.
Speaking of the recent attack on
sailors from the U. S. S. Cheyenne
by bandits, Professor Wolbach said
the Carranza government is doing
its best to police the territory under
control. However, so many of the
soldiers have become free lance
desperadoes that the government
cannot furnish positive protection
along the coast outside of a few
ports. He said he did not believe
the central government could in any
way be blamed for the Cheyenne af
fair as it was doing its best with the
men available.

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and g-reaseless) , and
is better than anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's
very cheap, and a few ounces will
supply every member of the family
for months. Adv.

burn, belching, pour stomach, bloat and gas
are other signa of acid-stomach. EATON IC,

Non-Resident of City,
Reason for Dismissal
of Divorce Action
District Judge Troup yesterday
dismissed the divorce suit of Mrs.
Anna Sedlacek against Stephen
Sedlacek on the ground that she had
not lived in Nebraska a year before
the suit was filed.
Mrs. Sedlacek admitted that she
left Omaha June 28, 1918, and lived
in Kansas City until January, 1919.
She never intended' to make that
her home, she said, but went there
to escape the alleged brutality of
her husband.
Judge Troup held that a person
must have had an actual residence
of one year in Nebraska betore
having the right to sue for a di
vorce here. Mrs. Sedlacek gave no
tice that she will file an amended
petition asking separate mainte
nance of herself and three children
in place of the divorce.
