THAT GENEROUSLY NAMED BABY.
Senators Compare Notes as to Their Alleged
Namesa

SO far as the regular proceedings of the
Senate were concerned things were somewhat
dull. but there was any amount CT amusement
found in the Duvall incident. which was related
in Yesterdays STAR. IIumorously inclined
Senators who were not ashamed to admit that
they had been duped wandered through the
chamber and poked fun at brother Senators
who were unwilling to talk on the interesting
topic and who were consequently roasted for
their secretiveness. Senator Paddock led in the
fun making. for he was provided with photo
graph of Algernon Paddock Duvall-the only
return the Nebraskan had for the cash which
he sent the supposititious child's father.
SENATOR PADDoCK's PICTURE.
The picture was of youngster that had
evidently been in the land Of the living for at
least seven or eight months, although the letter
which Papa Duvall sent with it asserted that
this specimen of his offspring was but three
weeks old. Beneath the photograph Senator
Paddock pasted slip Of paper on which he had
written: Photograph Of Baby Duvall,
tenins. The following are the bap-
tisnal names which crushed out his
Young life" Then followed u list of the dis
tinguished Senators who have contributed to
the necessities of broken-legsed William Duvall.
TIE VICE PRESIDENT BLUsHED.
When Vice President Morton was shown the
counterfeit presentation Of his godson he
blushed and laughed aloud. Every Senator in
the chamber was more or less interested in the
picture and they cracked jones' innumerable
about the little one who was SO Overwhelmingly
named.
DOUBLE DOSE FOR SENATOR II MILAN.
Papa Duvall tried it twice on Senator Nc
MILAN. First he named the child James Nc
MILAN. and then week or two later (the
first 50 sent having been disbursed for whisky
Duvall wrote the Michigan Senator to the
effect that little James had fallen out Of his
cradle and broken leg. A doctors bill had
resulted from the sad accident and the Senator
was invited to contribute something; not to re-
lieve the child, but to relieve the doctor.
The Senator did not respond.
Other Senators say they have been hearing
from Duvall on various cash-squeezing subjects
for q wear or two.

THE TRANSPORTATION QUESTION.
Attorney General Leese Of Nebraska Favors
Government Control of Railroads.

attorney General Leese Of Nebraska Favors
Government Control of Railroads.
LINCOLN. NEH., Dec. 23.-In his report to the
governor giving an account of the conduct of
his ONCE for the last two years Attorney Gen.
eral Leese has added some fuel to the excite
ment growing out of the present political
middle in this state by handling the transpor-
tation question without gloves and advocating
governmental control of railroads
In speaking of the board of transportation,
which is composed Of five state officers. includ-
ing the attorney general. he says the present
system is a complete failure. experience fully
demonstrating that the railroads are too pow
erful in their influence for the
people TO expect much relief under the
present system. The attorney general recon-
mends that a maximum schedule of rates should
be adopted by the legislature on basis with
other states similarly situated. He thinks the
railroads should be made to understand
that it is TO their interests to
tighten the burdens of the people and
sible for the eastern investor. The rates
charged today, he says. are large enough to
yield q dividend amounting in some cases to
per cent on the stock that cost the stock
holders nothing whatever but for the print
ing. and the officers of these roads use every
effort and strain every point TO have the stock
holders of their roads receive their annual div
blends and they have to do this to hold their
jobs.
1T is n notorious fact" he claims. ''that the
roads in Nebraska are now Openly violating the
plain provision of our fundamental law en-
bodied in section five of article two Of the con-
stitution. which provides that no corporation
shall issue any bonds or stock exception money,
labor property actually received and applied
to the purpose for which the corporation was
created. and that all stock. dividends and either
fictitious increase of capital stock or indebted
ness of any such corporation shall be void. 1t
il an admitted fact that the railroads in the city
have outstanding stock TO very
large amount that has not been issued
for money, labor or property. and
the several reports of these roads show divi-
dcrds on all such stock. l would recommend
a law forbidding any railroad corporation from
Issuing any mortgage bonds or stock until an
itemized account of the cash. labor
or property dEly sworn to has been
presented to some officer of the state
or examination. and if found to be a true ac-
count of the money labor property received
to register and certify that the same are issued
i'll pursuance of law and as constituting part
of the capital stock of such corporation"

by its secretary, Nc. j. II. Brown, and
the relief corps. They propose to labor tonight,
and tomorrow to devote themselves to the
work of getting the food properly distributed.
The families have been selected by the Grand
Army posts, each one being vOuched for
as deserving. Most Of the food has
been purchased from the stores by
means Of money donated. amounting to about
LOO, while large contributions of goods have
been received from the public schools.
The families have been classified according
to the number Of members and the size Of
the sack Of food will accord to a
regular schedule. Each sack contains q
peck OF potatoes, sack Of flour
pounds OF sugar. one-haf to pound Of coffee,
one.quarter to one-haf pound Of tea, one can
