DETERMINED TO ENFORCE THE LAW One of Main Objects in Hearing is to - Compel Ra to Pub- lish Their Freight Tarifls, CHICAGO, April 1.—It is the purpose of the Interstate Commerce commission to em- Ploy cvery means within its power to secure &n absolute observance of the provisions of the interstate commerce act. The com- mittee is not going to cemse operations be- cause’ [hjunctions suits have been brought to this end. “Thig announcement was made by Commis- sloner. Charles Prouty, relative to the in- vestigation to begin here tomorrow. Asked what the commiesion expected to discover and what would likely be the outcome, provided ‘evidencé of late infections of the law devaloped, Mr. Prouty, sald: Wo must first ascertain what has been done and then determine what action is adyisable under the —circumstances, as they may develope. The fact that the De- partment of Justice ‘s proceeding by an- other means ‘woula not prevent our tak- ing the initlative in Instituting criminal proceedings ehould the facts disclosed by he evidence warrant such acti Packing Hoase Discriminations, Upon former Investigations raflrbad offi- clals have told us that secret practices have been abandoned and the law observed. Despite this fact, one railroad hud on file with the c sion for some time, a arift of 42 cents on packing house prodicts from the Missourl river to the seaboard and it was not met openly by any other Toad. Now we would Hke to fearn how It ‘was the other Jines managed to get busi- ness upon & tarft of 48 cents when the road in questign was carrying it for 42 cents, Commissioner Prouty said another pur- pose of thie hearing was to take steps to compel the railroads to publish their ex- port rates. This is a radical departure, although some of the roads in times past have flled export rates on graln and grain products. In general, however, rallroad pficlals and attorneys claim that the law annot compel them to publish export tar- ffs and a4 battde is to be made on this point. Keep Domestic Rates Up. The reason for the fight is that the rall- roads have been making higher domestic rates upon packing house products and grain and then cutting the rate by taking care of everything as export shipments. fAsked it the commission purposed trying to probe any of the alleged pools, the commissioner sald that so far as he knew there were no pools. Concurrent with the commission's investi- gation is a notice by all eastern lines that effective April 14 rates will be raised on grain and grain products and upon packing Bouse products for export and domestic purposes, both by all rall and by part lake part rall routes. The new rates are two to four points higher per 100 pounds than the present rates, and they will esfablish a differentisl on grain and gmin products of 2 cents In favor of the Iakes, as against 3 cents at present existing.

The road will run from Duliith to Omaha and Kansas City, cutting every one of ‘the great ‘transcontinental lines. It is the intention of the promoters either t0 make connéctions with the Gould system or contintle the road as an independ- ent line to the gult. Work will commence tmmediately. .

PLANS FOR LEAGUE MEETING Emmett Braneh Arranges for Co of Devlin and Redmond to Omaha. committee of the Emmett branch of the Irish National league met last night and received reports from the committees appointed to arrange for the meeting to be held April 9, at which time William Redmond and Joseph Devlin will speak upon the objects of the Irish party in the British Parllament and the policy of the Irish National league. It was decided that admission to the theater where the meeting will be held shall be by ticket, which may be secured free from certain stores in the city which will be designated later. These tickets will also be placed in one or two places in South Omaha and Council Bluffs, where they can be secured. Tickets thus secured will reserve seats at the theater until 8:30 on the night of the meeting, when, if the scats fre not occupled they will be thrown open to the general public. This course was adopted, as the seating capacity of the hall is limited and it was the desire of the committee to make those who attend as comfoftable as possible and to avold crowding the hall, Invitations have been sent through the local newspapers to sympathizers with the movement in Iowa and Nebraska and reats will be reserved for all who may come from other towns. These seats can be secured by the visitors before 8 o'clock on the night of the meeting by personal application to members of, the general committee. It was decided to ask a number of promi- nent men to act as vice presidents of the meeting and invitations will be fssued to them in a day or two. Vice presidents will be chosen not only from Omahba, but from other towns in the state. . One matter which is causing the com- mittee some concern is the fact that the students of Creighton college have made arrangements for amateur theatricals at the university hall on the night of April 9, the night of the meeting. Many persons are interested in both of these affairs and an attempt will be made to have the theat- ricals postponed, as it will be impoesible to change the date of the league meeting, as the theater can be secured for no other time. It was decided that partles desiring to make arrangements for boxes at the meet- ing should consult J. A. Conmnor, in the Board of Trade bullding, the chairman of the hall committee, who has charge of that part of the work. The finance committee reported th: it had received pledges satistactory for the length of time that it had been at work and that there would be no difficulty in securing the funds necessary to defray the expenses. The meeting adjourned to meet Saturday night, at which time all preliminary work will be completed.' JOHN EVANS SHY, BUT BUNCOED ] Declines 1o Invest in Padlock Game, but Readily Surrenders Coln to Fake Officer. John Evans, on his way from his home in Towa to Portland, Ore., stopped off in Omaha yesterday afternoon and in a few short hours had pald $40 toslearn some of the ways of the bunco man. John came from Woodbine, where the only excitement is the song of the whangdoodle when it whangeth, and from his bulky grip, tied with a plece of binder twine, to his empty purse, everything indicated that John belongs to the evergreen family, called for short “easy marks.” When John struck Omaha his blood was fired with an ambition to learn the ways of the city and he lost Do time in getting into line to realize his Ambition. Soon after leaving the station he met a stranger, who agreed to be his teacher and guide, showing him all the polnts of in- terest in the city and ing that he got bis money's worth. The two visited all the music halls and beer gardens and John was delighted with his new-found friend. ‘While at Thirteenth and Webster streets the friend picked up a padlock. Just to show his sporting blood, he offered to bet John that he could open it without a key. YNot on your life,” sald John, "I don't bet on mo Other man's game; not since I lost 70 cents at the fair last year. ‘While still congratulating himself on not being buncoed out of his money, John and Lis friend were accosted by a flerce look- ing blue-coated individual who styled him- self a minion of the law. John and his friend were arrested, and John had been arrested before, not even on H lowe'en night, and it broke his heart. After the usual pleading the officer agreed to allow John to return to his hotel pend- ing an investigation if John would put up all the money he had as a bond that he would Bot leave town. John had $40 ana the sympathetic officer took it and John was told to walt at the entrance of the St. James hotel on South Thirteenth street until the case was investigated. John walted. Supper time passed, and still Jobn waited. Bedtime came round and Jobn still walted. But the officer came not. The clerk of the hotel finally telephoned to the station and told of the man who was walting. At 10 o'clock John was taken to the police station and there told his story, and the ways of the bunco man were explained to him. John was given & bed in the matron's department, where he slept, a wiser, sadder and poorer man.

THIRTY-SIX MEN TIE ON STRAIGHT SCOR! Preliminary Match of the Big Tour- City Succesafully Carrle Out, nament at Kansas i KANSAS CITY, April L—Thirty-six men tied on a straight score of twelve birds | In the Kaneas City sweepstakes, the ifitial event of the Grand American handicap live tournament which opened at Blue River park in this city Monday: Three hundred and sixty-nine candidates for Grand American handicap homors en- tered for this first preliminary shoot and the list included all of the prominent shooters who are on the entry list for the big shoot later in the week. On account of the great number of participants only those who had a straight score or had missed only one bird at the end of the elghth round were allowed to shoot the re- maining four rounds. There were 140 who had not missed a bird at the end of the fourth round, or after every man had shot once \at each of the four traps. Seventy-four men had an ! unbroken record of dead birds at the end | of the eighth round. Twelve Birds the Number, Because of the unwieldy entry liat it was decided early in the day to cut the number of birds each man was to shoot at from twelve to eight, but as the sweep- stakes, according to the original plan, were to be divided among the thirty high guns and there were seventy-four straight scores after all had shot at eight birds, the man- agement later decided to continue the match to twelve birds, dropping from the lst all who had miseed more than one bird. This left 184 men, or half the entry list to shoot the remalning four rounds. The purse amounted to 32,683, which was divided equally among the thirly-six win- ners. The weather was ideal for the sport, a bracing north wind making the birds an active lot. It wis noticeable that most of the pigeons which got away, were re- leased from the traps at the north side of the fleld. The birds flying wgainst the wind were more difficuit to hit than those fiylng with it. Big Men Miss Out. Many of the most celebrated of the wing shots are not on the list of winners. J A. R. Elllott, the first man up, missed his eighth and tenth birds. R. O. Helkes was unable to bring down his first and fourth and was out of the race therefore at the end of the elghth round. E. L. Banks missed his second and third and J. 8. Fan- ning of Jersey City allowed hig ninth bird to escape. Annie Oakley of Nutley, N. J., the only woman entered, missed her second and eighth bird. C. W. Budd of Des Moines, Ia., missed hie fifth, but won much applause by making sensational shot B. D. Ful- ford of Utlca, N. Y., lost his seventh bird. Those who made a straight score of twelve birds are as follow John E, Avery, Atlanta, Ga.: J. E. Hicks, 0.; George Tucker, Branham, i W. R. Crosby, O'Falion,’ 1lL; G.

There are 315 men entered for this handicap tonight, and the list probably will reach 400. The shoot today lasted from 9 o'clock in the morning until 6:30 tonight without in- termission, 0 it ls probable that the race tomorrow will be at ten or twelve birds In- stead of sixteen, as was originally intended. Manager Shaner announced tonight that the entries for the Grand American handi- cap number 467. The Illinbis Gun club of Springfleld is asking for the Grand American handicap next year. A delegation from that city is here, offered inducements to the shooters. Branham, Texas, is also represented by a delegation trying to land the big event next year.
