Present Information to
Attorney general by
August 14.
Lincoln, Aug. 5. Taking up the
matter of the powers of the Depart
ment of Agriculture under the new
code law to punish profiteering,
Governor McKelvie has addressed
communications to Attorney Gen
eral Davis and to Secretary Sthur
of the agricultural department cov
ering the matter of co-operation of
both departments with the execu
tive branch of the state government.
The governor calls attention to
the section of the law covering in
vestigations and ends with instruc
tions regarding the matter. The
communication in part follows:
"Each department created by this
act shall have power through its
secretary, any deputy or assistant or
employe, when authorized by the
secretary, to make a thorough in
vestigation into all the books, pa
pers and affairs of any person, firm
or corporation when, in the iude-
ment of such department such ex
amination is necessary to the proper
performance of its duties and the
efficient enforcement of the laws,
within the purview of its power and
authority fixed by this act, in so
doing to administer oaths and af
firmations and to examine on oath
or affirmation any person, officer,
agent or clerk of any firm or cor
poration touching the matters
which, in the judgment of such de- I
partment, ought to be inquired into
and, to examine and summon and by
attachment compel the attendance
of any person or persons in this
state to testify under oath before
such department or its secretary or
any deputy or any assistant or em
ployes thereof in relation thereto.
Powers of Department.
"The Department of Agriculture
shall have power:
"1. To encourage and promote, in
every practicable manner, the inter
ests of agriculture, including horti
culture, the live stock industry,
dairying, cheese-making, poultry,
bee-keeping, . forestry, fishing, the
production of wool and all other al
lied industries.
"2. To promote methods of con
ducting these several industries
with a view to increasing the pro
ductior and facilitate the distribu
tion thereof at the least cost.
'''These provisions give your de
partment authority to investigate
the costs, processes and means of
distributing food products, and I
recommend that you at once proceed
to obtain all possible information
bearing upon this subject.
feopie Urged to Co-operate.
"In this connection it is of oar-
ticular importance that the people
of the state provide you with any
definite information which they may
have confirming, or leading to con
firmation of, the belief that distribu
tors in food products are exacting
unreasonable charges for their services.
"It is my desire that vou shall
obtain by Thursday, August 14,
sufficient information to justify a
meeting with the attorney general,
in which definite plans may be laid
for further procedure.
Also I recommend that your de
partment co-operate with the fed
eral government in every possible
way that will aid in the applica
tion of uniform rules, the carrying
on of investigations and the execu
tion of laws having to do with the
distribution of all articles of food.
"It is not our desire to harass or
embarrass those who are engaged
in the rendering of legitimate serv
ice in connection with the distribu
tion of food products, but we are
ambitious to ascertain the facts
bearing upon this subject, and bring
forth a vigorous prosecution of
those who are committing offenses
against the rights of the consuming
puDiic.
Omaha Company Protests -
Action of Hooper Rival
Lincoln, Aug. 5. The Continen
tal Gas and Electric corporation,
which has an office in Omaha, has
filed a protest with the State Rail
way commission against the Hooper
Electric Light Co., in which it
charges that the latter company has
violated an agreement and order of
the commission in that in the build
ing of a transmission line by both
companies from Fremont to Hooper
it was stipulated that one mile of
the line should be built jointly and
the same poles used.
The Continental company now
claims that the Hooper company
built the line first and that now the
complaining company cannot put
up its wires without placing them
10 feet above the wires of the
Hooper company, which, it charges,
is a dangerous thing to do.
Land Bank Managers Want
State Banks to Join System
Lincoln, Aug. 5. (Special.) A.
E. Ramsey, agent for the federal
land bank in Kansas City, with O.
T. Eastman, manager of the Omaha
federal bank, were in Lincoln Tues
day and visited the state house.
The object of the visit is for the
purpose of interesting the depart
ment of banking in having state
banks line up with the federal re
serve banks. It is said that 13 state
banks in Nebraska are already op
erating under the system and it is
hoped to make it unanimous, thus
putting the state banks under the
same conditions as national banks.

Lincoln. Aug. 5. The state en
gineer let the contract for the con
crete road between Fremont and
Ames, a distance of about six miles,
to Hugh Murphy of Omaha, the
cost to be approximately $200,000.
The road wifl be 18 feet wide and

Nebraska Engineer Unable to
Secure Vehicles Awarded
to State by War
Department.
By E. C, SNYDER,
(Staff Correspondent of The Omaha Bee.)
Washington, Aug. 5. (Special
Telegram.) State Engineer John
son on leaving for Lincoln today
reluctantly admitted that his mis
sion to Washington to obtain a
promise from the War department
to immediately move the tractors
allotted to Nebraska was a flat fail
ure. Mr. Johnson ran up against
a decision of the judge advocate
general of the army to the effect
that the rider to the postoffice ap
propriation bill made the allocation
of tractors and other horseless ve
hicles, the War department had de
cided to allot to the states in the
interest of good roads, impossible,
and superseded the section in sun
dry civil bill giving authority to
the department, although the solici
tor for the department of agricul
ture has decided differently, accord
ing to Nebraska's chief engineer.
There are 94 good road projects
underway covering more than
1,000 miles and unless tractors and
trucks are forthcoming the season
will be too far advanced to do any
road work this year, which is a
great disappointment to Mr. John
son, who saw large opportunity
for splendid work this season when
it was announced that in the allo
cation of tractors and trucks owned
by the War department and now
not needed Nebraska was allotted
443 trucks, 50 tractors, 21 Fords and
11 other makes of passenger auto
mobiles. Judge Kinkaid said today after
a conference with Mr. Johnson that
he would endeavor to get the Ne
braska delegation to start a cam
paign to secure these tractors and
trucks for Nebraska, as the good
roads movement has taken firm hold
on the state and it would seriously
retard the work if the War depart
ment material could not be made
available.

cial Telegram.) Ray Welton,

noon skidded into a ditch near Sioux
Falls, causing the death of two per

negligent driving and at a speed of
more than 40 miles an hour, are al
leged in the complaint.
Engines Idle in Fremont
Due to Strike of Shopmen
Fremont, Neb., Aug. S. (Spe
cial.) Local Northwestern officials
said today they would be able to
keep all passenger and time freight
trains going for a few days longer
in spite of the strike of shopmen.
Today the locomotives were idle in
the local roundhouse, where 40 em
ployes are on strike.
Held on Larceny Charge.
Fremont, Neb., Aug. 5. (Spe
cial.) Luther Baehr, a farm hand
