INVOLVES TAKING U. P. LAND (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—(Spe- clal Telegarm.)-—‘Speed up” is the battle cry of the administration and for a little time at least renewed activities may be expected, not only in the congress itself, but in the sev- eral committees having jurisdiction over innumerable bills that have been introduced as corrective agents for existing or imagined fills in the body politie. The quiet but generally efficlent ju- diclary committee of the senate had a “hunch” yesterday that “speed up" ap- plied to itself and after a conference decided that a subcommittes consisting of Senators O'Gorman, Reed, Ashhurst, Brandegee and Cummins, should sit and hear Benator Norris on his so-called right-of-way bill to limit the right- of-way of the Unlon Pacific rallroad to 100 feet instead of 200 feet as under ex- isting law. Cammins Disposed to Ald. Senator Norris held the floor for nearly three hours barring the time in which he replied to questions from members of the committee. The asenlor senator from Nebraska was asked how congress could take away rights originally granted and by which grant the Union Pacific has been constructed. Senator Cummins suggested that it might be accomplished through a “bill in abandonment,” on the ground that the right-oft-way of the Union Pacific was unused.. but the senior senator from Jowa, who was obviously aiding Senator Norris, did not press his point. Deeds of Comveyance. The brief shows that conformably to the act of June 24, 1912, definitely and permanently fixing the rights of the rail- road with reference to its right-of-way, the company, to cure any doubtful equities, lssued deeds of conveyance to the following municipalities in Nebraska: Valley, Central City, North Platts, Bil- ver Creek, Sidney, Cgallala and Gibbon. In addition to these quit claim deeds, conveyances of a similar character had been issued in 178 other cases in Ne- braska. Senator Norrls spoke in the highest terms of the Union Pacific rallway and MRS. MOHR LOVED | HUSBAND, SHE SAYS| Woman Accused of Murdering Mate | Testifies He Beat Her and Abused Her. |NEVER PLOTTED HIS DEATH| PROVIDENCE, R. I, an. 27.— Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr, on trial with two negroes on the charge of mur- dering her husband, Dr. C. Franklin Mohr, asserted on the witness stand | yesterday that she loved her husband and always was desirous of effecting a reconciliation with him. She denied unequivocally that she ever plotted to have him killed. The widow told her story in low tones. Once or twice while telling of some particularly {irritating turn | in her domestic troubtes she seemed on the verge of breaking down. In answer to questions put to her by her counsel, Mr. Cushing, the witness sald her husband had been cruel and | abusive, but that she loved him natwith- standing. She identified a letter she said she had recelved from him while she was at the Newport home in the fall of 1913 in which the doctor sai “I don't want anything around that re- minds me of you, and if you ever put your foot in my place in Providence again I will about kill you. You are barred from my Providence places and I will never associate with you again, The only time we will be under the same roof again will be when I go to Newport, perhaps. ‘When you leave there you leave every- thing, and I don't care when you leave. I've been putting on a sham front all summer for you, but I can do it no longer. , “I am tottering now. I will have no more of it." Mrs, Mohr made the assertion that Dr. Mohr wanted her to “get out and shift for' herself,” and that he urged her to 80 west and get a divorce, but that she refused. Dr. Mohr threatened to kill her because she would not give him her jew- elry, according to the testimony. She also sald the doctor coerced her into deeding her property to him and that up to 1912 all his earnings had been put in her name. Received Many Beatings, Continuing Mrs. Mohr said she received many beatings from her husband becaus: of her attempts to keep Miss Emily Burger away from him. She asserted that DR. KING SPEAKS AT ROTARY CLUB President of Oberlin College Ex- plains Method of Gefting Most and Best Out of Life. ADVOCATE OF STRENUOUSNESS Stern, rigid, unyielding diseiplin- ing of impulses and desires as the best means of getting the most out of life was advocated by Dr. Renry Churchill King, president of Oberlin college, in an address at the Rotary club dinner in the Henshaw cafe last evening. He was introduced by Harley G. Moorhead, formerly & stu- dent at Oberlin, During the dinner there was much gaiety and song, and Dr. King prefaced his serious address by sev- eral lively stories. One of these was of a clerical gentleman of absent- minded characteristics, ‘who paused, puzzled, at a Boston railway ticket office. Finally he remembered the place to which he wanted to go. “Give me a ticket for Whiskey Straight,” he sal The ticket seller told him there was no such place, and then the absent-minded one remembered the right name. It was Jamalca Plain. Dr. King preached that strenuous life which a certain ex-president preached. But Dr. King advocated mental strenu- ousness, self-control, *“unwasted daye, rather than the muscular effort. It was a succession of terse aphorisms. Here are @ome of them: “The worth-while things are character, influence and happiness.” “The dreamer and see-er of visions is not likely fo count like the man who can and does put his dreams and vidlons Into action.” “He who can't make the effort is the cipher. He who does Is the hero.” “You can’t master others till you have mastered yourself. You won't follow a man unless you fee] that he has a certain reserve power within him." “The chief mark of the insane is the lack of self-control.” “Resolving doesn't prove your will power. Doing does.” The doctor asserted that ome of the principal joys of life is the overcoming of obstacles, “Did It ever oceur to you that our fa- vorite games are artificlal devices by which we set up obstacles for the mere pleasure of knocking them down?" the dootor added.

Fire fol- lowed and before the flames could be controlled several cars loaded with mer- chandise had been destroyed. Three cars containing dynamite were on a nearby siding at the time, but firemen succeeded in removing them to a safe distance. The explosion occurred about one mile and a half from the business section. The shock was felt for miles and hundreds of windows were broken.
