MAXIMUM FREIGHT RATES.
Nebraska Case Before q. S. Court Ended
Decision Withheld.

OMAHA. June 1S-The extended litiga-
ton in the federal court with reference
to the maximum freight rate law closed
today and Judge Brewer indicated that a
decision would be rendered within two
weeks. The attorneys had TO hastily con-
centrate their strongest points as the court
limited the speeches to this day, and Mr..
Webster began mis- concluding remarks by
taking uD the question OF the earnings OF
the respective roads, based on valuations
per mile OF the cost of the railways. He
said that on a basis of valuation or $4,000
per mile the net earnings of the Burling-
Ton and Missouri were 81, and on the
Union Pacific 20 z per cent. He showed
where the railway companies had made
large earnings on the main lines, but had
squandered large sums In impractical
work aud the maintenance OF branches,
which absorbed their earnings, i Z desire
to shut out some rival company.
