10 THE Railroads Develop Position in Fight on Aldrich Bill, ARGUMENT WILL BE IMPORTANT of Testimony Resumed, .l': Teiltmony Does Not Develop the | Controversy | That the rates for passenger and freight traffic on the Nebraska railroads as fixed | by the Aldrich @11 are illegal on the ground that they constitute an Interference with interstate commerce, is the position | assumed by the railroads now contesting the legality of the law. This side of the | controversy will not become obvious until the case comes to argument The hearing of the rate case was re- #iimed ‘before Charles W. Pearsall, referee, appointed by the federal court, at the of- fices of former Judge W. D. McHugh in the First National Bank buflding, Monday | morning. The session was occupled with | the cross-examination of Frank Nay, audi- | tor of the Rock Island. The rallroads ex- pedt to support his testimony with that of tive other witnesses. The last adjournment of this hearing was taken five weeks ago, when the state asked for time in which to review the direct testimony of Mr. Nay. The taking of testimony will probably oc- ocupy the court until the middle of next week, when the arguments will be made. Many States Interested. It Is in these arguments that the real vital points of the controversy will be de- véloped. It is generally understood that among the many states which are Involved in rate litigation most are looking to the outcome of the Nebraska fight. The ques- tion Is little less than that of state sov- ereignty. The rallroads will deny that| there is any power within any state by | which that state may In any way affect the traffic of & rallway doing an Interstate business. The hearing in Itself is highly technical, consisting largely in the recital of rates and estimates, together with countless other connected statistical facts. The state s represented at this hearing by Attorney General Thompson and his deputy, Grant Martin. Louis Whettling is the state's rate expert, who will become an important witness in the support of ithe rate laws. W. D, McHugh of Omaha represents the | fallroads in thelr combined effort to over- | throw the rate laws. He is assisted by *dron Rich, general counell for the Union Facifie; Ben T. White and Carl C. Wright of the Northwestern and James E. Kelby of the Burlington. Woodmen Still Harboring Secret Not Yet Ready to Say Where That Skyscraper Will Be Erected. Harry Tukey of the firm of A. P. Tukey & Son is still at work securing options for the new ‘Woodmen of the World bullding, but both Mr. Tukey and officers of the Woodmen refuse to divulge the name of the site selected. Options have been se- cured on two sites on the corner of Four- teenth and Farnam streets, the northeast and southeast. Albert Cahn says he set a price of $175,000 on his forty-four feet now used by the Union Pacific ticket office and himself and in the rear by John Kerns and E. E. Howell. The Postal Telegraph bullding is owned by G. Warren Smith and Dr. C. W. Downs owns the building occupled by the Omaha Clothing company CLOTHES DR. COOK WORE ON HIS NORTH POLE EXPEDITION Garments Are on Disp dels 0ld Store, and Al at the Bran- Odor Prary may have filched from Cook his north pole thunder, but Omaha has skinned | him out of his duds. | Dr. Frederick Cook's Aretic clothes are at | Brandels’ old store, on exhihion. They | are unfque, bulky, well worn—and plency | smiclly. They sniff acutely of the musk ox | and give one an idea of being about to present his visiting card to a polar bear If one went to don the undershirt, in a peniitent spirit, he would get the eestatic | feeling, no doubt, that used to thrill the dciotees of the middle ages when thay were clothed in garments lined with cockle burrs and alive with the tiny agriculturists sametimes Indigenous to the unwashod human body, Cook’s undershirt, worn for any lengthy | pell, would qualify the greatest knocker on earth for a reserved grand stand seat on the shadiest edge of the Elysian fields. It has a rough textured interior, padded on the outside like a foot ball player's nose when he is butting into a hobnatled man golng sixty miles an hour around an end. The doetor's pants look like the skins of two small polar bears sewed together, like Bryan O'Lynn's, with the hairy side out. They are of the simplest In style, and if the old torture bosses had invented them to put on’their vietims, in a hot room, nothing would have been left in a few minutes but a grease spot. Below the pants of nolsy aroma the dottor wore walrus boots that have the alr of serviceability, although quite tramped out of sy particular shape. Near by the boots are the fox-tall cuffs worn under the knée and fastened with running strings. Like everything else in the group, they show much wear. The exhibit is on the second floor of the old Brandeis store and @t the other end is & phonograph, continually grinding out in' Doctor Cook's own voice, a story of his trip to the “big nall”” The firm has made & bit by getting the exhibit, as already the crowds are beginning to throng the lce grotto where it Is placed, so that to get in the late comer must await his turn, WORK FOR SHIPPERS’ GRAIN Chicago Meeting of Traffic League This Week Faces Important Program.

The returns to the city clerk showed: For library bonds 0 against 7; for engine house bonds 8 against 138 The correct figures are: For Mbrary bonds 13, against 3; for engine house bonds 16, against 3 In the Fifth precinct of the Second ward the return to the clerk was verified: For park bonds 3, against 183; for library bonds 20, against 138; for engine house bonds 42, against 100. And the councilmen wondered who had been busy knocking the bond issues in that particular precinct. If the vote here had been reversed, or even it anything like an even, break had re- sulted, all three issues would have car- ried. | ‘When the mistake in reading the machine | was discovered Assistant City Attorney | Rine and City Clerk Butler opined that | possibly some other ialstakes might be dis covered in other machines that would change the result on supreme judges.
