Tt was turther shown by the evidence that the defendant, the National Starch company, s in competition with other starch manufacturing concerns under ac entirely different, separate and independ- ent control, and does not produce 50 per cent of the starch output of the United States. On {nvestigation of my own I find | this last fact to be true. Such being the fact, It occurs to me that the Argo plant and the United Starch company and the Natlonal Starch company afe none of them trusts as defined by the law. I reach this conclusion because they are powerless to create or carry out restrictions In trade or to limit the produot, petition or fix prices regardless of the law of supply and demand. Not having control of the output of manufactured starch and therefore belng unable to fix prices ar- | bitrarily, and being operated entirely in- dependent of other companies In competi- tion with them, they are without the pro- visions of the law directed agalnst trusts | and are not subject to the penalties theinin provide: Mr. Prout says he recently examined the books and records of the defendant in New York, and became convinced that there bad been no violation of law In the con- solidation of the various starch companies The evidence obtained has been filed in the court and is subject for review along the motion to dismiss. School Superintendent's Convention, Stato Superintendent Fowler 1s urging city school boards throughout the state to send their superintendents to the annual convention of city superintendents in Chi- cago, February 25, 26 and 27, and to pro- vide for the payment of thelr expenses ““The echool boards in many of the cities in the eastern and central states, and in some of the western ones, pay all or a part of thelr superintendent's expenses to these meetings,” says Mr. Fowler. “This is cus- tomary in other lines of business and the practice cannot be criticised fn public school work. The school boards of several Ne- braska clties do this and quite a number this year will vote from $25 to $50 for the purpose. It pays. The benefit to the sup- erintendent is a direct galn to the schools and the community. The rallroad rate for this meeting is one and one-third fare for the round trip, on the certificate plan. “'An uxcellent program has been arranged, tnoluding lectures, papers and dlscussions by the leading school men and women of the country on the most important and vital educational topics of the day. Among the subjects discussed will be the county institute from the practical etandpoint, the real valuo of examination as determining the teacher's fitness for work; the tenure of office of teachers and superintendents; the soclological aspect of the school; the high school people’s college versus fit- ting schools; the educational needs of a | democracy, and the teaching of American history in the schools. Every city superin- tendent in the state should attend the con- vention," Case Agninst Bartley Hondwmen, The case of the state against the bonds- men of former Treasurer Bartley will be argued before the supreme court next week. The action as originally begun has been di- vided into two branches, but it is likely both will be argued the same day. From | the last dectslon in the district court of Douglas county the state appealed as to Bondemen W. A. Paxton, Thomas Swobe and Cadet Taylor, who were released from liability on the bond, while Bondsmen C. C. McNish, E. E. Brown and J. H. Ames, against whom a judgment was glven, ap- pealed a8 to the state. Paxton, Swobe and Taylor are seeking to be, released on the | &round that as they signed the bond afser it once had been approved they cannot be held liable with the others. Judge Fyank Irvine, now a member of the faculty of Cornell Law college, will return to braska ' to participate in the argument in behalf of the bondsmen. Valldity of Peddiers’ License Law. The valldity of the peddlers’ license law, which was paseed by the last legislature, is agaln questioned In legal proceeds this time brought to the supreme court by Max Rosenbloom, who was convicted ana fined $50 by Judge Grimson in Platte county for peddling without a license. He contends through his attorney that the act is purely a revenue measure, as evidenced by ity ti- tle, and that the sections under considera- tion are unconstitutional and vold for four reasons, which he cites as follows: “It Is A revenue measure for the purpose of ralsing taxes, and non-payment of taxes cannot be punished criminally. “The title of the act is not broad enough to embrace a criminal provision, “The law Is too Indefinite and uncertain in its provisiond to be valld as a criminal measure. “The law exempts certain persons from the payment of taxes and Is therefore net uniform in its operations and {s unconsti. tutional.” Central Irrigation Company.

Shippers at Winside teapped by Discontinuance of Western Frelght Service. WINSIDE, Neb., Feb. 1.—(Specfal.)—Con- siderable hustlins was manifest among the grain men here yesterday, caused by the the running of Union Pacific trains through here to Sioux City. All graiu for Denver and points west had to be last night. Thie arrangement is consid- were only.given twenty-four hours’ notice. They have been buying on Denver bids, which are from 8§ to 10 those from eastorn point: notice of the change, they paid on Thurs day 50 cents for corn which they could not realize over 40 cents upon if they shipped it to Minneapolis. Yesterday they paid 45 cents, although they could not get out on it it shipped, but they were compelled to compete with the feeders. The claim made by a Sloux City paper Thursday night that the change was caused by a lack of business, is considered ridicu- run special trains often to clear up the has a car been taken out it was loaded, some even lying here for ten days or longer, while nearly every train with a single engine had to set out cars here, and double-headers were of al- most dally occurrence. The western market, opened up“by the running of the Union Pacific tralns over the tracks of the Chicago, St. Paul, Min- neapolls & Omaha, from Norfolk to Sioux City, has put thousands of dollars into the pockets of the farmers, who market their graln at Hoskins, Winside, Wayne and Wakefleld, as the prices paid by the western buyers have been about 10 cents higher than the Minneapolls market would warrant local grain men paying, and for the last year and a half not one car of oats or corn has been shipped east out of this place. It is owing to this that the change is being made. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha officials have been here often to try to arrange to get a share of the coarse grains, and about a year ago dld succeed in getting the east- ern bid raised, but it was never equal to the western. One cause for this is the grades in Minneapolis. Not a car of corn from Nebraska of the crop of 1901-2 has been sent tq that point which will grade better than No. 4, and it mostly grades N. G., while the western feeders only ask for corn. Ot course, the loss falls as usual upon the tarmer. One elevator here was caught with 8,000 bushels upon which the owners lose about 8 cents per bushel. The other three had not so much on hand, MUST AGCOUNT FOR FEES the case against ex-County Maurer prior to ad- this report in Treacurer George W. journment Thursday | That after an Investigation authorities submitted. of various arrived at the opinfon ¢ Geory oX= county treasurer of Gag 3 rivska, should return the funds of the county and account for the sum retalned by him dur- s out of the funds of ing his terms of the county, for salary of himself, clerks or assistants employed "in_sold office during his terms s vr, in cxcess o the fees of sald office. s’ shown by an examination of the books of the office of snfd county treasurer and hie reporis oa flle In_the office of the county clerk of age county, Nebras Ohe SAMUEL BIV GowW JE.

WFORD, Neb., Feb. 1.—(Special Tele- | gram.)—Sheriff W. E. Tubbs of Casper, Wyo., transferred his prisoner, Charlle Weodward from the Burlington to the Elk- | horn railway here this morning. Woodward says he is 28 years old and was born at Dixon, T1l. He says he never heard of the death and shooting of Sheriff Ricker until about three days before he was arrested ncar Billings; that Ricker was good to him | while in prison and he was simply slipping about under cover to avold re-arres When asked ‘‘Were you not present when Sherifi Ricker was shot?" he sald, with a | sickly smile: “I refuse to talleon that sub- Jeet,” and would say no more: Woodward presents the appearance of hav- ing just emerged from a free fight, both | eyes are blackened and his face is cut in several places. Sheriff Tubbs says that Woodward told the complete story about the way it has been reported in the press, to Wilson apd Henry Owens, brothers, who discovered him and gained his confidence, but {n the attempt to arrest him he fought until he was bruised up as he now appears. Sheriff Tubbs has with him only one deputy, and will take Woodward directly through to Casper, where he Is satisfled that there will be no violence attempted. If there is an attempt to lynch | he eays he is pregared for and can cer- tainly resist it, but Woodward thinks there is no danger. . CASPER, Wyo., Feb. 1.—(Special Tele- gram,)—Woodward s to arrive in Casper tonight. The outcome no one can tell. Everybody that is not a deputy wants to hang him, and the deputles, about one-halt the male population, say give him a show. It he had Rickers' belt and gun on when captured, he may be hung. If he did not, the crowd may let him alone. All kinds of people are in town.
