HIT BY REBATES
Sweeping Injunction Against the
Grain Dealers Association
!; Illegal Trust Charged.
Special to The journal.

Special to The journal. :.
eLincoln, Neb., Aug. "A sweeping
injunction suit, the most noteworthy
ever filed within the judicial records of
Nebraska, has been instituted by At
torney General Brown against the mem.
bers Of the Nebraska Grain Dealers
association. It is declared that they
have formed a trust or combination
in restraint Of trade and are accept
ing rebates from the various railroad
corporations in violation of the Junken
antitrust law adopted. by the recent
legislative session.
Judge Barnes, one of the three men,
bers Of the Nebraska supreme court,
acting upon the attorney general g
blanket petition issued a restraining
order forbidding the grain dealers from
further operating under price agree
ment, which the attorney general
charges has been their practice in the
past, and from counseling together as
members of an association.
The attorney generals petition sets
forth that the dealers have been liking
prices for grain bought from the farm
ers by virtue Of a price agreement sent
out by, the officers Of the association
each bushel Of grain varying from B tc
Is cents a bushel.
He also charges that the associated
grain dealers have profted by secret
agreement with the railroads, which
provides for a rebate on each bushe]
of grain, as result Of which indie
pendent dealers have been forced out
of business to the detriment Of the
producers Of the state.

WHITES ORDERS EXPLICIT
May Close Peace in Twenty -four Hour
If Japs Are Moderate.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Aug. A New York spe-
cial to the Tribune says:
Your correspondent is authorized to
announce that the Russian ENJOYS in
structions are 50 explicit that he can
arrange peace within twenty-four hours
if Japan s terms are moderate.
Mr. Witte has not indicated what
terms would be accepted, but the fore
going statement will relieve the appre-
hension of the Japanese plenipotentia-
ries that the instructions of the Rus
sian envoy limit his action to the mere
transmission Of the Japanese proposals
to st. Petersburg for action by the
czar. AS matter of fact, Russia, &C
cording to the powers granted her
agents, is bound to accept any instru-
ment which M. .Witte and Baron Rosen,
the Russian co-plenipotentiary, may
deem it wise to approve.
The only formidable obstacle to the
conclusion of peace seems to be the
question of indemnity. Members Of the
Russian mission intimate shat Russia
will refuse to pay an indemnity: On
the other hand, NJ. Sato, who is Baron
Komura recognized spokesman, init
mates that Japan will fix $3.50, 100000
as the minimum she will accept.
It seems from what members Of the
Russian mission have said, that M
Whites instructions prescribe the max
imum limit, of terms which will be ap
proved by the emperor. It will be

FRUSTRATED BIG
JOB BY BURGLARS
Thieves Had Packed Van Load
of Furniture and Dismantled
Flat.

An attempt by burglars to load all
the furnishings OF slx-room hat onto
a moving van and carry them away
was frustrated this forenoon by the
l7-year-old son of Mrs. Ruth B. Ridges,
who occupies the fat at 1914 Hennepin
avenue.
Mrs. Ridges and her family have
and come to the city only occasionally
to get things needed. When the boy
entered the home this morning he
found everything topsy turvy and most
of the goods packed ready for ships
ping. The draperies and rugs had been
neatly rolled up into bundles and other
smaller articles of value had been
packed in boxes. Most Of the furni-
ture had been moved to the kitchen,
the movers when they came. One Of
the windows had been unlocked and
the deliberate thieves had taken theiI
time in fixing things up.
When the boy entered the fiat he
found all the lights burning. and the
detectives who were detailed on the
case think that til, the ,1obbers were e s
night and did not have time to turn out
the lights. Several times recently
neighbors in the other apartments
thought they heard strange noises in
the Ridges fiat, but came to the con-
clusion that the sounds were imaginary.
Superintendent of Police Doyle was
notified Of the robbery this morning
and two officers were detailed on the
case. They have a good description
of two strange young men who have
been coming into the fiat building quite
often of late.
Mrs. Ridges is still at the lake and
her son does not know whether anyi
thing of value was taken preparatory
to the intended big haul.

roads Of handling the immense grain
crop Of the country tributary to these
railroads. In addition to this is the
problem Of handling stock.
Altho it is not admitted by the teleg-
rapher's officials there is no doubt that
this season Of the year, when shipments
are heavy and must be moved rapidly,
was deliberately chosen for the strike.
A reduction in the freight earnings lis
followed by stock-market changes,
which the strikers calculate will bring
about demand from financial interests
for settlement of the trouble.
Stock Shipments Have Begun.
Already stock shipments have begun
from Montana and the west. This
class of freight is an important item in
the earnings of the northwestern roads
and above all must be moved rapidly
and barley will be ready and then will
come the great flood Of business caused
by the wheat crop. The operators de-
clare that this business cannot be han.
died without them. When the crop is
moving every unit Of rolling stock Is
rushed and crowded to the limit. Every
siding and spur on the line is crying
for cars to move the crop and in order
to handle the business there must be
no delay.
Hundreds of stations on both systems
affected by the strike are maintained
solely on account of this fall business.
At other seasons of the year their side-
tracks are but streaks Of rust. In han
ding crop, tho, every station is
utilized. Scores Of emergency orders
sidetracking freights to make room for
more important freight or passengers,
must be sent each day. Trains running
both ways over the same line must be
cared for to prevent collision and to
insure swift operation, and the opera
tors say, this cannot be done without
them.
The strikers are also banking to q
considerable extent on the support Of
public sentiment especially in the west
where labox. unions are wen organized
and very strong. It is reported that
the newspaper syndicates furnishing
/ patent insides for country papers have
had difficulty in furnishing their GUS
toners and are already beginning to
i demand settlement of some sort thru
the columns of their papers.

AS far as the actual situation In the
telegraphers strike is concerned there
seems to be little change. The Great
Northern and Northern Pacific officials
continue to assert that everything is
progressing as if no strike existed.
Trains are departing the same as usual
and are said to be arriving on time.
In this connection, however, it is stated
that coast train No. 4 ON the Northern
morning, has been taken from the
schedule and is running as coast train
No. 2, due in st. Paul at 2:20 this
afternoon, thus making possible an ar
rival on time. Trains are also losing
time in the extreme west, where an at
tempt is made to send scouts ahead on
motor cars and railroad tricycles.
Freight conditions have loosened
somewhat. The Northern Pacific will
accept freight without prepayment in
local lots, but the Great Northern ocn-
tinues to demand prepayment Of
charges on less than car lots for local
stations. An effort has also been made

It is claimed that strike-breakers are
being sent out in large numbers and
that Offices are being opened on every
division. This is denied, Of course, by
the strike officials.

Society seems to have organized government
with view to making criminals. Society en-
virons her boys with the saloon, knowing that
the saloon will accomplish no good, but will
lead to vast amount of evil We literally, in
our cities, have localities that may fairly be
termed schools in which people are trained for
life of crime. Municipalities are Doodle
schools, and Legislators reap golden harvests of
votes.
We punish the called bread thief, and let
defaulters, embezzlers, land-grabbers, bribers,
extoItioners and boodlers escape, either with.
out punishment or with very light sentence.
The Bible says "the love of money is the
root Of all evil" The love of riches, Judged
by the usual standard, is not only sane, but
right at the top of the excellent aspirations.
But may it not be that of all the insane tend.
encies, the inordinate love of money is the
most dangerous in that it leads to tine under
mining OF the best that is in civilization, and
hiuderug the perfect development of that
which is best in the human race? Dark as is
tke outlook, we note that outside the circle Of
the money -grabbers, there is mighty army of
farmers, miners, factory and railroad employees,
teachers, preachers and doctors who are willing
to give cent for cent, thought for thought, love
for love, self.dsrial for self denial,
This army is the chief cornerstone of soci-
ety-the eternal rock upon which civilization
rests and advances. Generally, it is very
common people No monuments mark the
graves of their ancestors, and few criminals
have sprung from their rauks.
The army of working people is too busy, if
it ca:ed, to "plunge" in Wall street or "cor-

it, the honest dollar is the dollar earned. Its
members have no franchise grabbing scheme
