listribntion. Speaking of the matter
Mr. .Williams said: " - '
J "This movement is in the interest
sL all the" people and not for any
?tif! class. The question of the dis
tribution of foodstuffs is at the pres
ent time a vital one. The enormous
jiprcad between the price received
oy the producer and that paid by the
Consumer is a continual source of
lifritf.tion and irritation. Organized
Hotts made by producers to secure

have alike failed of satisfactory re-
I According to Chief Williams it
?s , the' purpose of he bureau of
narked and marketing to bring
here two classes together and es
tablish if possible a bond of mutual

afed by the legislature in its last
-egular session make such a work
possible and places in the hands of

tion of the problem. That food
Huffs can be secured at reasonable
Sgures by' the consuming public is
ivideni'cd by the fact that already
jhere have ben offered to the bu

nany ton of beans, prunes and
?ioney at prices that are attractive.
The. services of the bureau of
narkets and marketing is offered to

May Change Ruling for New
National Guard Companies
Lincoln, Nov. 28. (Special.)
There is an indication, according to
a letter received by Governor Mc
Kelvie from Benedict Crowell, that
the War department, while not will
ing to recede from its stand that
companies of national guard shall
be composed of 100 men at least,
row authorizes the formation of
companies in two platoons of from
40 to 60 men each where two towns
are sufficiently close to each other
so they can work together.
Mr. Crowell admits that a large
number of states have tried to pre
vail upon the War department to cut
the minimum number of a company
to 65 men, but he says that in case
of war companies would be com
posed of 250 men and this would
mean too many new recruits in a
company.

AMEND RATES ON
SHIPMENTS BY
MOTOR TRUCKS
Operators Object to Old
Rule as Being Too
Complicated to Be
Practical.
Lincoln, Nov. 28. (Special.)
The state railway commission has
issue'd a revised order covering
transportation of, freight by auto
truck and expects to have -printed
sufficient orders so that they may
be in the hands of all those inter
ested. There has been a number of com
plaints since the former order went
into effect, because of provisions
for handling goods for short dis
tances and because of its complex
ity. It followed about the same
classification as the railroads and
this was found to be too compli
cated, especially in regard to con
dition of shipments as to packing.
The new order applies to all per
sons or corporations operating
trucks east of a line running from
the western btorder of Harlan coun
ty from the Kansas line to the Da
kota line. Suburbs of Lincoln are
not included in the order, being
considered a part of the city.
The schedule of rates is amended
to read as follows: First class, 20
cents per cwt. plus IjS cents per
mile for distances of from one mile
to 150 miles: second class, 85 per
cent of first class rates; third class,
70 oer cent of first class rates:
fourth class, 60 per cent of first class
rates: all according to the distance
shipments are carried from one to
150 miles, minimum charge 5U cents
per shipment.

secretary of the Pan Motor com
pany, told some of the internal
functioning of the company when
he testified in the trial of 13 Pan
officials charged with misuse of the
mails. Mr. Barritt is a defendant.

which Pandolfo was to have pur
chased 100,000 shares of Pan stock
for the par value of $5 a share in
stead of the selling value of $10, Mr.
Barritt explained that this was done
to protect the stockholders and the
company itself.
"Mr. Pandolfo was afraid that the
enemies of the company would suc-
in havincr the license to sell
stock canceled in one or more
states, he said, "and wanted it in nis
own narm; so that he could continue
e1l it if thi hnnncneA He told
me that he would continue to fulfill
his part of the contract in disposing

a good one and it was not fol

At Present Government ' Does

Loan.
Constantinople, Nov. 28. (By
The Associated Press.) Appeals
that early arrangements be made
for negotiating a peace treaty, sent
by the Sublinje Porte to the peace
conference in Paris, are said to have
been inspired by the fear that Tur
key may -be plunged into anarchy
with no - responsible government
left to treat with the . allies. At
the same time the grand vizier is
urging country districts to hurrv
arrangements for elections so that
a Parliament may meet here and
be ready to discuss the terms of
peace.
At present the interior of the
country is not controlled by the
government, which cannot collect
taxes, and lias n funds. This finan
cial situation, it is pointed out, is
liable to throw th country into the
hands of any other which may
make it a loan. The Turks are
preparing to make an effort to ex
cite interest in America for a man
date over this country and plan to
send publicists to America for that
purpose, ,
