WANT LINCOLN
GRAND ISLAND
ROAD CHANGED
Hampton and Bradshaw Ask
to Be on Route Will
Try to Please
Both.
(Fromva Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Aug. 13. Frank A.
Edgeeton, Hamilton county attor
ney, was at the state house Wednes
day conferring with State Engineer
Johnson regarding the changing of
the road running from Lincoln to
Grand Island known as the Seward-Aurora-York
automobile road.
It appears that the road, which
runs on a direct line from York to
' Aurora, goes one mile south of
Hampton and efforts have been
mad- by the Hampton people to
have it changed so as to pas
through the town and back to the
main road a mil east of where it
left it. Now the people of Brad
shaw, about seven miles directly
east of Hampton, want the road to
continue east through Bradshaw
and then go a mile south and strike
the main road after passing through
that town instead of going south
from Hampton.
The state engineer will take the
matter up with the authorities at
Washington and seejf the road can
be changed, as it appears to meet
the approval of the county boards
of both Hamilton county, in which
the town of Hampton is located,
and York county, in, which Brad
shaw is situated.
Cyclone Causes Heavy
Damage In Vicinity
Of Grand Island, Neb.
Grand Island, Neb., Aug. 13.
(Special Telegram.) Striking in
a pasture about 12 miles northwest
of this city, a cyclone last night
swept through an area of about
four or five miles of sparely settled
land and raised all building which
were in its way. Only the farm
house of hn Mohr, seven miles
north of this city, while directly in
the path of the twister, remained
untouched. No lives were reported
lost.
Several buildings on the William
Franssen farm, north of here, were
razed by the cyclone. Charles
Rober.t reports that several head of
his cattle fell prey to the twister.
The large barn of the John Mohr
farm was completely torn from the
groud and swept direptly over the
heads of 14 cows. Several head of
cattle, which were in the barn at
the time the twister hit it, were not
:ven touched. Barbed wire fencing
on this farm was completely torn
from the posts and more than 200
chickens were killed.
Just one mile east of the Mohr
farm, the cyclone lifted as it struck
a grove and disappeared.
Report Hunters Killing
Young Ducks Near Aurora
Lincoln, Aug. 13. Reports were
brought to Lincoln Wednesday by
John Budler and K. H. Cramer, liv
ing at Aurora, that parties have
been killing young ducks in Bur
gess lake, about five miles south of

great place for breeding wild fowl,
and it is probable that an effort will
be made to protect the young ducks
now there and bring the hunters to
justice.

Governor Returns From
Outing in Black Hills
Lincoln, Aug. 13. Governor Mc
Kelvie returned Wednesday after
noon from a week's camping and
outing with his wife and family in
the Black Hills. The governor tells
some good fish stories, or perhaps it
might be more proper to say that
he tells some good stories about the
fish he caught. He also caught a
touch of poison ivy. But no real
outing, and especially a fishing trip,
would be complete without a few
mosquito wounds and a few poison
ivy sores, and even a governor has
to take those things with the com
mon fishermen.

DEPRECIATION
OF DOLLAR CAUSE
OF HIGH PRICES
Yale Economist Declares
"Money Is Real Culprit"
Remedy Is to Fix Pur
chasing Power.
Washington, Aug. 13. Prof. Irv
ing Fisher of Yale university, ap
pearing today before the federal
electric railway commission, which
is considering recommendations
for solving the electric railway
problem, declared the real "culprit"
in the situation is the dollar and the
real remedy is to fix its purchasing
power.
"The gold dollar," said Prof.
Fisher, "is now fixed in weight and,
therefore, variable in purchasing
power. What we need is a gold dol
lar fixed in purchasing power, and
i therefore variable in weight. If we
add new grains of gold to the dollar
'just fast enough to compensate for
the loss in the purchasing power of
j each grain, or take away gold to
I compensate for a gain, we shall
have a fully 'compensated dollar, a
stationary instead of a fluctuating
dollar, when judged by its purchas
ing power."
According to Prof. Fisher this
"plan has been approved by a large
number of economists and business
organizations, including President
Hadley of Yale and a committee of
economists of which Frank A. Van
derlip, George Foster Peabody, John
Hays Hammond and Senator Owen
of Oklahoma are members.
Regarding the financial situation
of the street railway companies,
1'r.of. Fisher told the commission
(lie whole question is one of adjust
ment to the lowering purchasing
power of the dollar."
"No adjustment should be repres
sed," he said. "Adjustment of fares
can and should compensate so far
as compensation is necessary and
just.
"The failure of trolley fares to cor
respond with other prices is one of
the most conspicuous examples of
havoc which has been played by the
depression of the dollar."
Widow Sues Owners
of Soft Drink Parlor
for Death of Husband
Fremont, Neb., Aug. 13. (Spe
cial Telegram. ) Two damage suits
for a total of $110,800 have been
started in district court by Mrs. Bar
bara Janesovsky and her son,
lames, of Crowell, against Oscar
Rleyhl and Henry Rathman, prop
rietors of a soft drink parlor, at
Scribner and the village of Scribner.
Mrs. Janesovsky asks $100,800 for
the death of her husband and the
son is suing for $10,000.
The husband and father, Benja
nin Janesovsky, Northwestern sec
tion foreman at Crowell, was killed
:n an automobile accident near
Scribner three weeks ago. His son
was painfully bruised and cut.
Janesovsky and his son had been at
the parlor of Bleyhl and Rathman
drinking cider and left in their auto
mobile for home. The petitions set
forth that the cider was intoxicat
ing and that Janesovsky and the son
were drunk. Scribner officials are
alleged to have been informed that
the two defendants were selling in
toxicating liquor.
Bleyhl and Rathman were in
licted in Fremont two weeks ago,
for violation of the prohibitory law.
Cider obtained at their place and
sent to Lincoln for an analysis was.
found to contain over 5 per cent
alcohol.

CONGRESSMAN IN
ATTACK ON LIGHT
SAVINGS LAW
Andrews Acknowledges Re
ceipt of Anti-Daylight Sav
ings Law Petitons Tells
of Fight.
Acknowledging the petition from
the mothers' organization for repeal
of daylight saving law, Congress
man Andrews writes:
"I have done everything that I
could to secure the repeal of that
law because I believe it is unjust
and very injurious, especially to the
farmers of the country and to the
children in the sense tersely de
scribed in your telegram. I un
derstand the senate has passed the
house bill for repeal of section 3 of
the so-called daylight saving act.
The objections previously mentioned
by the president in his veto in re
lation to the division of the country
into zones, will not appear in the
bill which has just gone to the
White House. The bill now before
him relates exclusively to the dis
honest 'treatment of the clock by
turning it backward and forward in
the vain expectation that the laws
of nature will be altered. It is
grossly unjust to rob the agricul
tural people of an hour in the morn
ing and another hour in the evening,
thus increasing their cost of food
production by. 25 per cent on the
basis of an eight-hour day. If the
president desires to reduce the high
c t ti
cost ot living ne win surely approve
the bill that is now before him. On
the other hand, if he desires to en
hance the high cost of living, he
will probably veto that bill. If he
should veto it, a trenuous effort
will be made in the house to pass
it over the veto.

people be compelled to endure such

Appeal, Webster. Affirmed. Letton, J.,

1. A city of the second class having
more than 1.000 and less than 5,000 in
habitants, cannot make a valid contract
for extensive street paving without an
estimate as required by Kev. St. 1913, sec.
6011. If th city engineer Is not compe
tent to make such estimate, and a proper
estimate Is made by competent engineers
employed by the city for that purpose,
owners of adjoining property cannot, after
such paving is completed, enjoin an as
sessment of benefits against their prop
erty on the ground that tho estimate was
not made by the city engineer.
2. Such levy of assessment cannot be
enjoined because a street railway was al
lowed to remove Its rails from the street
to be paved Instead of paving the space
formerly occupied thereby, as required by
Rev. St. 1913, sec" 5110: nor, because the
contractor guaranteed tho quality of the
work and agreed to make good any de
fect that appeared within 5 years; nor,
because no formal personal notice of the
formation of the paving district and sub
sequent actions of the council, was given
them.

order a temporary increase of rates. Mor
rissey, O. J., not sitting. Opinion by
Corr.ish. J.
1. The fundamental Inquiry In fix
ing rates of a public service utility al
ways is: What rate Is necessary In order
to yield a reasonable average return on a
fair valuation of the property for rate
making purposes, such a return as will not
discourage but will attract the invest
ment of capital In the utility.
2. Under the constitution and laws
of this state, the state railway commis
sion has a wide (fiscrctlon in these mat
ters. 3. A situation, due to an un. i...-t.-.1
rise In prices and wages, which makes tt
altogether probable that the p;im and
present rate i insufficient to yield a rev
enue which will pay that fair average
return which the law requires, although
not constituting what would technically
be denominated an "emergency," may.
when shown, be sufficient for the allow
ance by the commission of a temporary
rate, limited to the time required for
making an Investigation and finding of
the facts. If It should happen that the
temporary rate so fixed la too high, the
condition may be rectified in the order
fixing the rate after Investigation.
4. In fixing the rates at any particu
lar time, former earnings and probable
prospective earnings should always be con
sidered with a view to so adjust the rates
as to prevent extortion and allow a fair
average return.
6. The law contemplates that the find
ings and orders should be made tn the
first Instance by the commission, which
has powers of Its own that the courts
may not usurp. Its orders will not be
reversed unless clearly wrong.
6. The act, known as the railway com
mission act, Laws 1907, ch. 90, p. 311 (Rev.
St. 1913. beginning at section 6104). gives
exclusive original jurisdiction of cases like
this, Involving the rates of common
carriers to the state railway commission,
