NEBRASKA BOARD WIPED OUT.

Unconstitutionai.

LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov 2i.-Tbe State Supreme
Court, by q unanimous decision this evening.
wiped out OF legal existence the State Board Of
Transportation. the only State body which has
the power to control freight rates In Nebraska
The board Il composed Of the Governor. Aud
itor, Land Commissioners. Attorney General
and Treasurer. the actual work being per
formed by secretaries. The board had not
only power TO enforce orders made against
railroads. but had equal power over Telephone
telegraph and express companies. The de-
cision Of the court leaves all corporations Of the
character. named without any control in the
matter OF rates save that exercised by the
courts. The ground upon which the law Is
declared unconstitu tutionnl Is that Il was i'm
properly passed. that is IL bore different title
In eaoh house and in other RESPECTS did not CON-
form 10 Constitutional requirements.
There has been but little complaint In Ne
braska for three wears over railroads. the work
Of the board being largely devoted 20 hearing
charges Of Inequality of rates between points
within the state. The last two Legislatures
endeavored to abolish the board and replace
IL with more effective and less costly system

and the success attending them was most
complete. The train consisted Of two motor
cars, one q, each end. and four coaches In be-
tween. Eariy In the afternoon II was run out
Of the Sixty-seventh street yard with Master
Mechanic Doyle at the motor, and was switched
over 10 the uptown track in between two pas
senrer trains Then II started uptown and
developed with ease seventeen miles an hour
II ran with the greatest smoothness and wos

by the steam trains. Occupants OF the houses
along the road hung their heads out Of tho
windows In joyful surprise. for at sight Of the
quiet but swift moving train they realized
that the day OF the putting. cinder casting
steam engine on the elevated was over.
In the opinion Of the experts there wss much
Iess rocking Of the roads structure than with
the steam engines. although the motor cars
are much heavier than tho engines The
motor cars weigh thirty-hve tons. to from
twenty three TO twenty-eight tons for the
steam engines but their weight Is much moro
widely distributed along the track. owing TO
the greater lengt of the motors. The current
used yesterday was obtained from the Vhird
avenue power house and the motors developed
POS horse power with such power. Of course
II would be possible 10 go much faster than
seventeen miles an hour. but II IL not deemed
wise TO increase the strain on the structure
which such speed would naturally bring.
