Perdun, chief engineer of the southwestern portion of the Missouri Pacific railroad, gave testimony for fixing the physical valuation of the property in Nebraska. J. A. C. Kennedy, attorney for the railroad, questioned him in the hear- ing.of the passenger rate case before Referee Frank H. Gaines when it was resumed Wednesday after ten days’ recess ¥ The road secured a temporary in- junction several months ago against the operation of the state’s 2-cent fare law, and now is seeking to have the injunction made permanent on the ground that a 2-cent rate on the Mis- souri Pacific does not even pay pas- senger expenses. Mr. Kennedy and the chief engineer constituted the forces on the side of the railroad. State Railway Commis- sioner Hall, the commission’s expert, U. G. Powell and Mr. Roe, assistant to the attorney general, presented the state’s side of the case. Mr. Perdun has gone over every foot of the railroad in Nebraska on foot, on handcar, on horseback and otherwise and had elaborate charts and books to show the physical status of the property.

The new structure is to house a 20,000-horsepower turbine. Tt is ex- pected that the structure will be com- pleted by October or November. Trust Company Protests On Water Board Charges The Peters Trust company has pro- tested to the water board against pay- ing for the standpipes installed on its property. The water board ordered that the trust company, as well as other concerns who have raised the same objectionl. must pay up or the water will be shut off. The shutting off of the nandpige water supply in some cases would effect the entire building, it is said.

Stand per- fectly still and I'll get you out all right.” But despite his confident tone he was worried, terribly worried, for he appreciated that their plight was a desperate one. “Don’t come any farther, Hook,” he called to the seaman, who had started after them. “We're in trouble. Get back at once or you'll be in trouble yourself.” “What's the matter, lootenant?” shouted Hook, as, obeying Hope's order, he regained the bank. “Are you in quicksand?” “I'm afraid so,” Hope answered. “We can't move and we seem to be slowly sinking.” “What shall T do?” the sailor shouted, “Shall I get some branches?” “I don't think they'll do an; Faod, Hook,” came the answer. ”\%e re in too deep.

If we are saved it will be due to you." _“I hope that he will get back in time,” she remarked, as matter-of- factly as though there depended upon his return nothing more important than a social engagement, but terror was gnawing at her heart, for she could feel herself slowly sinking. The time dragged by. The seconds passed like minutes, and the minutes seemed like hours. Though tormented by myriads of insects, they dared not stir for fear of hastening the end. Al- ready the black ooze was above their hips and was slowly, inexorably creeping higher. “Dear heart,” said Cleo, after a long ause, “if—if Hook should not get ack in time, I want to go down hold- ing your hand. I shall not be fright- ened of death, then.” “You dear, brave girl' ‘groaned Hope; “this is all my fault. I seem to have brought you nothing but misery and trouble.” “You have brought me nothing but happiness, dear,” said Cleo. “And death holds few terrors so long as you are beside me.” “But we are not going to die,” she exclaimed a moment later. “There's Hook and he has the grapevine.” Her quick eye had detected the seaman as he emerged from the for- est, and he had, as she said, the grapevine; a monster creeper as thick as a cable and almost as strong. Ven- turing as far into the marsh as he could with safety, Hook coiled the giant vine and threw it as a cowboy throws a lariat. “Take hold of it, Cleo,” Hope di- rected, “and hang tight. When I count three Hook is to pull for all he is worth and you must kick, strug- gle, do everything you can to loosen yourself.” ¥ The seaman, wrapping the vine around him like the anchor in a tug- of-war, spat on his single hand, and, when Hope gave the signal, threw every ounce n? his 300 pounds into_his pull, while at the same time Cleo struggled frantically to free herself. Slowly, sullenly, rcluctantly, the marsh monster released its prey and Hook dragged her to the banks and safety. To extract Hope was not so easy, for, owing to his greater weight he had sunk into the bog almost to his armpits, but at last, after repeated attempts, Hook and Cleo succeeded in effecting his rescue. Late that afternoon a mob of cheer- ing townsmen surged up the main streets of Santa Eutalia bearing on its shoulders a weary, very mud- stained but very beautiful girl and two equally weary and mud-stained men. Cleo Burke, whose mysterious disappearance had aroused the whole countryside, whose pictures and de- scription were on the walls of every police station and post office in the state, had been found.

State Rate Men in Conference On New Interstate Ruling Traffic Manager McVann of the Commercial club held a short confer- ence at noon with State Railway Commissioners Hall and Powell, and other rate men, with regard to what steps shall be taken in the matter of the recent ruling of the Interstate Commerce commission knocking out the Nebraska freight tates as they had been fixed by the State Railway commission two years ago. The state commissioners were in Omaha in con- nection with the Missouri Pacific pas- senger rate hearing at the federal court rooms, and McVann called the short conference at the Commercial club rooms at noon only igcidentally. He hopes to call a larger conference in a few days, when the commission- ers and freight rate experts from the Missouri river towns and other towns affected by the ruling of the Inter- state Commerce commission can be present.

Increass . ROBBERS FAIL T0 CRACK BANK SAFE Break Way Into Vault of Oon- servative, But Safe With- stands Explosives. BANK FUNDS NOT TOUCHED After gaining entrance to the large vault by blowing the lock and spindle off with a charge of nitroglycerine, bank robbers who visited the Conser- vative Savings and Loan association, 1614 Harney street, early yesterday morning, made three unsuccessful at- temps to “crack” the small, armor- plate safe within the vault. Failing to exercise enough yegg- man’s skill in opening the safe, which contained several thousand dollars in money and securities, the robbers rifled several tin boxes in the vault, obtaining about $500 worth of valua- bles, belonging mostly to employes of the institution. Nothing of value be- longing to the association was taken, The robbers obviously were “peter men” and usea “soup” (nitroglycer- ine) in their attempts to crack the safe. "They opened the vault with a single explosio:.. Break Into Vault. The rubbers took a small, electric fan into the vault with them to aid in cooling things off a bit while they were working. Large pieces of burlap were found wrapped about the safe, a precaution taken by professional yegg men to deaden the sound of the ex- plosion and make it safer for them- selves. _The vault, filled with smoke, was discovered open by Ed King, janitor, when he arrived at work at 6 o'clock. Entrance to the building was ef- fected by crawling up onto the one-|P story part of the building, breaking a window in the office of Hastings & Heyden, on the second floor, and then walking down into the banking room.

Here is Lad Who Can Eat All the Candy - His Heart Desires Up at Clarkson Memorial hospital is a youngster whose lot, in at least one particular, might be the envy of almost any small boy. Floyd is his name, and he is 4 years old. Disease has deformed his throat and palate, and he is unable to swal: low. All his nourishment must be given him through a tube into his stomach. But although he cannot swallow, his sense of taste is very acute, an he likes candy inordinantly, Inas-- much as he can’t injure his’ stomach no matter how much candy he tgkes into his mouth, he is allowed an al- most unlimited supply. 4 Stick candy is his favorite variety, and he eats it and spits it out. He is a great favorite among the nurses, and “runs the roost” with a' high hand.
