; .Organization.
John, Welch, Interstate Commerce
commission inspector in the Qmaha
district, was chosen yesterday by
that body to head a terminal com
mittee of four members, which will
represent the commission in this re
gion in its effort to prevent traffic
jams and relieve the existing car
shortage.
A terminal committee representing
railroads touching Omaha, which
will function with the Interstate
Commerce commission's body, was
also organized yesterday at meetings
held in Union Pacific headquarters.
A general meeting was held during
the morning in the office of -E. E.
Calvin, vice president of the road, at
which the personnel of the commit
tee was decided. Members gathered
'during the afternoon in the office of
W. M. Jeffers, general manager of
' the road, to pertect their organiza
tion.
Mr. Jeffers was chosen chairman
of the railroads' committee. Other
members are: C. T. Dike, assistant
general manager of the Chicago &
Northwestern; E. C. Blundell, super
intendent of the Minneapolis &
Omaha; H. F. Kahoe, trainmaster ot

With the organization of similar
' terminal committees representing
. the railroads at all rail centers, and
of committees for the Interstate
.Commerce commission at a number
of larger terminals, the freight tie
tin will be b:-oken. traffic men be
lievc. Future jams will be prevented
to a considerable extent, they say,
by the operation of the terminals
committees in expediting transfers
and distributing cars where they
give the most service.
Direct Turnover of Cars.-
Effects of the .Intestate Com
merce commission's effort to better
freight conditions are seen by rail
road men in telegraphic instructions
received by the State Railway com
mission, which, directed that the
Union Pacific, Burlington and
Northwestern roads turn over SO
open-top coal cars to the Illinois
Central at Omaha each day until
otherwise directed. Similar orders
promulgated at different cities all
over the country indicate a cam?
paign to move coal and grain.

Interstate Commerce commission's
committee will be named shortly, Mr.
Welch said. One will be a rail
road man, another a shipper and
the third probably a representative
of the traffic bureau of the Omaha

While Commoner Is Expected

Lincoln, May 24. (Special.) Pol
iticians around the state capital of
Nebraska are watching with a great
deal of interest the drift of things as
the time for the two national conven
tions to meet and take action on
nominees approaches.
The opinion of some that, there
will be a third party in case, William
Jennings Bryan fails to have things
his way in Sau Francisco and Hiram
Johnson fails to land the republican
nomination in Chicago apparently
does not get very far with most peo
ple who know both Mr. Bryan and
Mr. Johnson. They say that Bryan
never has been what might be con
sidered a bolter. He can. raise a big
fuss in that soft and gentle way he
has, if his motto of "letting the peo
ple rule, does not happen to coin
cide with his view of the matter, but
they do not believe he will carry his
disapproval so far as to support a
third ticket.
As far as Johnson is concerned,
while' he has participated in one bolt
trom the republican party, it is be
lieved that he is wise enough to un
derstand that any preconvention
propaganda which will give the im
pression that it must be Hiram John
son or he will go out and defeat the
republican nominee, will only tend
to hurt his chances in the Chicago
convention and will bring him no
support after the first ballot.
