House Votes FavorabIy on Amendment
to Urgent Deficiency Bill.
Washington, Jan. 24.-The consider
alton of the urgent deficiency bill,
which has been under debate in the
house since Monday was completed
yesterday, but owing to the lateness
of the hour passage of the bill was
postponed until today. A successful
effort was made to increase the pay of
rural free delivery carriers from $500
to $500 per annum. Hill (Conn.)
made the motion to increase the ap-
preparation for this purpose. 1t was
resisted by Cannon and Loud, chair
man of the postoffice committee, on
the ground that the method was 1rreg-
ular, but the members with rural con-
stituencies supported it and it was
adopted-109 to 7S.
Representative Clark of Missouri
introduced a joint resolution express
ing sympathy for the two South Afri-
can republics and regret over the suf-
fering caused by the war. The reso-
luton expresses the hope that this
declaration by congress will influence
Great Britain to consider favorably a
settlement of the troubles.

Grand Jury Finds Bill Against
John B. Meserve.
CHARGES OF ENLIGHTENMENT.
Retention of Interest on Part of
School Fund of the State Deposited
in Stock Yards National Bank at
South Omaha Is Alleged.

Omaha, Jan. 24.-John B. Meserve,
former treasurer of the state of Ne
braska, has been indicted by the grand
jury in Douglas county on the charge
of embezzlement of money belonging
to the state school fund.
The indictment, with four bills
against other persons, was handed in
to Judge Baker yesterday just before
the grand jury was finally discharged
by the court. The case of the former
Populist state treasurer was taken up
and investigated by the grand jury last
Tuesday, when number of witnesses
who were supposed to have knowl-
edge of the questionable transactions
were summoned to appear before the
jury. These witnesses were mostly
officers and employees of the Union
Stock Yards National bank of South
Omaha.
1t is difficult to learn the facts
brought out in the grand jury room,
but sufficient information has been
CLEANED to show that evidence was
adduced to. indicate that Meserve, as
state treasurer, had on deposit at the
Union Stock Yards National bank a
large sum belonging to the state
school fund, on which he had been
paid interest, which had not been
credited up to the school fund.

Report of Interstate Commerce

Recites Disclosures in Handling Pack.
ing House Products and Western
Grain-Special Rates Are Given to
Favored Ones.
Washington, jan 2A-The annual
report OF the Interstate commerce.
commission, which was transmitted to
congress yesterday, renews the decla-
ration made in previous reports that
in its present condition the act to reg
ulate commerce cannot be enforced.
The feature of the report is the al
most sensational statement of the rela-
tions existing between the railroads
and a comparatively few heavy ship
pers. Referring to the commissions
recent Investigations into the amount
of packing house products and of grain
products the report says:
"The facts therein developed are of
such character that no thoughtful
person can contemplate them with in
difference. That the leading traffic
officials of many of the principal rail-
way lines, men occupying high posi-
tlons and charged with the most i'm
portant duties should deliberately
violate the statue law of the land, and
in some cases agree with each other
to do so; that it should be thought by
them necessary to destroy vouchers
and to SO manipulate bookkeeping as
to obliterate evidence of the transac.
tions; that hundreds of thousands of
dollars should be paid in unlawful
rebates to few great packing houses;
that the business of railroad transpor-
tation should to such an extent be
conducted in open disregard of law,
must be surprising and offensive to all
right-minded persons. Equally start.
ling at least is the fact that the own
ers of these packing houses, men
whose names are known throughout
the commercial world, should seem
ingly be eager to augment their gains
with the enormous amounts of these
rebates, which they receive in plain de-
fiance of federal statute"

Judge & Mrs. Conner Wire Greeting
Gov. Shaw Speaks Briefly of the Kindness of
the Welcome; of His Love for the Old
Home and of the Duties ofsssthe Office
He is About to Occupy.

Mr.. j. B. Romans followed with a
heart to heart talk, SIN Behalf OF the
Business Men" He said that he knew
of no place where the business men
worked together more in harmony.
That althou h they might differ in
opinion as to creed or politics, there
had never been any differences whsn it
came to the upbuilding of Depison.
He paid high tribute to the worth
and integrity of Gov. Shaw and said
that he felt him to be fully worthy of
all the honors that had come to him.
He paid pretty compliment to the
help that the women had given to the
upbuiIding of Denison and his talk
melted both applause and laughter
Mr. P. E. G. Lally was the last of the
Denison speakers except Mr.. Shaw and
his subject, "Our Guest" gave to him a
magnificent opportunity for the display
of his splendid oratorical abilities.
We are unable to do full justice in one
short paragraph to Mr.. Lally's speech.
1t was full OF patriotic ardor, of appre-
citation for the man about to leave us
and of the highest affection for the
adopted land of which Mr.. Lally is so
good a citizen.
Gov. Shaw was introduced amidst a
storm of applause and cheers and wav-
ing handkerchiefs, He was vieibly
embarrassed by the warmth of the well
come and his speech was of the home
ly, plain and heartfelt kind that has so
endeared him to all the people,
Among other things he stated that he
felt it was due the people of Denison to
know that his house was not for sale.
That he intended to live and die citi-
zen of Denison and that he should
never lose interest in the welfare of
the town that had done so much for
him. He dwelt upon the duties of the
office he goes to fill. He said that he
recognized the difficulties of the posi-
tion but should do his best. He said
that when Secretary Gage took the Of
flee the condition of the public Treas
ury could not have been much worse
than it was and now that it could not
be much better. In closing he paid
beautiful tribute TO the town that had
been the scene of his early struggles
for success and to the people who had
ever been SO helpful and so faithful.
After the closing of the Governors
speech it was more than an hour be.
fore he could retire from the continued
greetings of his friends. During the
entire evening refreshments were
served to the hundreds and thousand
sandwiches melted like snow before
the crowd.
The reception was the most success
full occasion of the kind ever held in
| Denison. 1t was not marred by an un-
/, toward incident and young and old,
democrats and republicans, men of
every creed and nationality met to
gether on common ground to do honor
to the illustriOus citizen and friend.
We regret that lack of time prevents
us from giving more complete ac-
count of the event.

NATIONAL CONTROL OF TRUSTS

Recommendation Made by Industrial
Commission.
Industrial Board Suggests Reforms.
Washington, Jan. 24.-The indus
trial commission after several years
spent in investigating the Industrial
condition of the country, with the
view of making recommendations
calculated to assist in the solution of
the problem of the times has complet-
ed and sent to the printer its final re-
port. On the subject of trusts, super
vision by the national government is
recommended. The most radical spe-
cific step suggested in that direction
by the report is that the books of all
corporations should be subject at all
times to inspection as are the books
of national banks. This, 1t is claimed
would go far toward protecting the
public against impositions in the way
of over-capitalization and other de-
vices. The commission discusses gov
ernment ownership of railroads and
telegraph lines, but does not recon-
mend such departure from present
methods. There are some recon-
mendations concerning taxation that
will attract attention One of these
looks to imposition of certain taxes
on private property by states direct.
