FINDS AGAINST UNION PACIFIC.
Important Decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Omaha, Neb., April 2S.-An important
decision Of the Interstate commerce
commission was filed here today, reduc-
ing the rail rates on sugar shipments
from California east The complaint
was filed by. A. J. Gustin on behalf of
the merchants B. Of Kearney, Neb.,
against the Burlington, the Union Pa
cific the Rio Grande and the Southern
Pacific railroads The opinion filed is
volumnious.
The bill Of complaint, in so far as 1T
affects the Burlington road, is dismiss
ed, but the Union Pacific does not fare
so we'll. The commission considers the
rate Of so cents per ton on sugar from
the coast to Omaha, and goes into the
matter Of competition for business be-
tween these points, showing that the
rate is affected by the rate via ocean
vessels between New York and San
Francisco.
The conclusion is that by reason Of
this competition the Union Pacific is
entitled to haul sugar cheaper to
Omaha than to Kearney. where no such
competition exists, but that il is not
entitled to charge 40 cents in addition;
therefore. the rate is reduced to more
reasonable figure, which the commits
sion fixed at not to exceed Is cents,
making the maximum rate charged TO
Kearney So cents against 30 cents to
Omaha.

CHERRY SCALES A JUDGMENT
DICKERT VERDICT MARKED
DOWN FROM So, 800 TO $500.
Plaintiff VIII be Given Five Days in
Which to Take It or a New
Trial.

One Of the most unusual judgments
ever given in the Third district court
was handed down by Judge Cherry
yesterday in the case of Lorenzo Dick
ert against the Salt Lake City Street
Railway company. Mr. Dickert sued
the company to recover damages be
cause his wife was injured on a car in
such a way that he claims it caused her
death. The jury gave him $500
Yesterday Judge Cherry stated that
the plaintiff would either have 10 scale
the judgment down TO $500 or he would
grant a motion for a new trial. The
Dana ges. he thought. were excessive,
and the figure he named would be
about the proper amount. The plant
if was given five days in which to
make uo his mind whether to accept
a judgment for $500 or take chances
with a new trial.

The rumor which has been current
upon the street ever since j. a.
West packed uD his Surveying instru-
ments and HE'D TO Baker City, was
yesterday verified by President A. w.
McCune of the Utah & Pacific upon his
return from Uvada, TO the effect that
he had appointed T. r. Ellerbeck to
nh the position Of General Super1nten-
dent OF the Utah & Pacific In corse-
quence, the new time card Of that road
is now in the hands of the printers,
in which Thomas r. Ellerbeck shows
up in bold relief over the title of gen.
eral superintendent
Although the appointee has not had
a superabun6ance of railroad expert
ence, his energetic disposition will
stand him in good stead TO the extent
that he will undoubtedly make a mark
in railroad circles and be heard from
later MIR. Ellerbeck is we'll known IN
this city, having been identified with
the McCune road since it's incipiency
in the capacity of auditor; also being
president Of the Citizens Coal COM
pany. At present he is down at Uvada,

tan Endeavor workers. He empha-
sized the Importance of the different
committees and neid that every men,
Der of the society should be a member
of some committee. The flower COM
miItee has an important mission in
carrying flowers to the sick, anany of
whom in the cities never see flowers.
Importance of Committees.
The lockout committee is one of
great Importance; it should build a fire
around the president or any branch of
the Society that is lax in its work. The
social committee has a great work to
co. The story was told of how Christ
fed the multitude, but first divided
them up into companies of fifty and
gave them a chance to get acquainted
with each other and be sOciable. TIE
third committee Of Importance. in DIR.
Beach's estimation, is the devotional
committee, and many good things were
said as to how devotional services
ahould be conducted and made inter-
esting and profitable.
The open parliament that followed
was conducted by the newly-elected
president, Rev. F. E. ,Bigelow, and was
the most important part of the morn
ing session. The business meeting of
the society was discussed and various
proposed. The quiet moment in the
society meeting came in for much dis
cusision, as did also the best ways of
inducing Numbers 10 take a part in
the proceedings without forcing the
work upon them and thus driving them
away.
The discussions on these topics We're
animated and brought out many good
suggestions. DIR. Beach. Mr.. Bigelow.
Mr.. Bagby, Mr.. Shanks and Mrs. Shep-
pard led in the discussions, but were
closely pressed by number OF other
enthusiastic workers Mr. Bagby's
statement that he could not count
money, as an excuse for not serving
on an auditing committee. caused a
hearty laugh, as did also his statement
that the sweetest part of Music was
often the rest between the notes.
The morning session closed with song
and brief prayer by DR.. Beach, and
then the delegates filed out to the front
steps of the church. where they were
photographed by johnson. +.
The most significant thing said by
Dr. Beach during the session, and the
thing that gave most encoUrag cement
to the delegates was that Utah is right
al the front in the Christian EndeavoT
work proportional to her opportunities
and the problem she has to meet.
