Brief and simple services were held
over the charred bodies of five un-
identified victims of the South Harris
burg disaster in the Market Square
Presbyterian church at Harrisburg,
Pa, after which they were buried in
the Paxtang cemetery. The services
were attended by the directors of the
Harrisburg hospital and many railroad
and city officials. Mayor Gross was
one of the honorary pallbearers. The
watches found in the wreck were ex-
amined by jeweler and the numbers
of the cases and works taken. Most
of them were SO badly burned that
it was impossible to get anything that
might lead to the Identification of their
owners. On the back case Of one of
the gold watches was the letters "F.

How Nebraska is Robbed
Now, going still further with this
mathematical test, we find that this
$1,33114 net profit per mile on Ne
braska railroads over the Iowa rail-
roads, makes the 5,697 miles of Ne
braska railroad take from the Ne
braska people annually $7,582,834.S8
more than would have been taken if
Iowa rates were in force in Nebras-
ka, in order to maintain the same
rate of net profits now earned by
Iowa railroads. In other words, Ne
braska people are being robbed
through extortionate rates of $685.
S34.8S annually over an dabove what
would be fair profit on the business
judged from the Iowa standpoint.
Profits Probably Greater
And there is no claim made by the
railroad managers that Iowa rates are
too low. The Iowa railroads are not
claiming that their rates are too low,
but on the contrary the people Of
Iowa who study the rate problem are
complaining that their rates are still
entirely too high, and the newspapers
of Iowa are calling for reduction.
And bear in mind these net profit
figures which show a $7,0O0,0OO annual
robbery of Nebraska people do not dis
close the whole truth. These net
profit figures on Nebraska business
are made by the Nebraska railroad Off
Gals in their report of their property
for taxation, and it is safe to say
that they have been doctored by every
possible means to make the showing
of net profits as low as possible.
With an annual rate extortion that
amounts to over 81 per capita bear
ing down on them year after year,
is it any wonder that Nebraska peo-
pie complain, and that the republican
newspapers, alarmed at what may
happen to the dominant party in the
state, are calling for an extra session
of the legislature, to enact a rate re-
ductiOn law?
If Mr.. Jansen of Jansen would take
day off from his free-pass travels
to study the figures on the freight
question, or if he would read tho
Nebraska newspapers, he would rea-
lie what he probably did not now
realize, how utterly his testimony mis-
represented the facts.

MERELY
MENTIONED

Robert Davis, upon his return from
the Adirondack Mountains. lost no time
in replying to his critics. As was to have
been expected, he let it be known that
he was not afraid of any movement hay
ing for its purpose the Reorganization of
the Democratic party He would well
come such a movement, he said, If loyal
Democrats were at its head, but he has
no interest in movement that is backed
by Pagan Democrats and whose only
desire is to disrupt the party in the hope
that they might get cheap notoriety.
Il have not heard that any loyal Demo-
Gratis have asked for a reorganization
of the party or want me to retire as the
head of the organization" says Mr..
Davis. Neither has anyone else.

many important measures will make their
appearance on the following MoIday
night, and it was the prevailing opinion
that the Legislature would get to work
on them at once.
The emphatic confirmation by Gov.
ernor Stokes Of the story that he had
promised Mr.. Colby that as far as his
influence was able to accomplish it his
measures and those of his friends would
be repdtted out of committees and gwen
fair show on the floor. was taken by
some to mean that those measures would
be promptly brought cut of committees
and considered by the respective bod .es
in which they were introduced sooa af-
ter their introduction.
There were some eynics, however, who
sad that the Colby bills would meet the
cid, old fate of all their kind which have
gone before them; that they would be
held back by the committees on the oyer
worked, but still effective, plea,s that
some interests involved desire a, bearing
which by right Should be given them unr
til the administration bills were safely
signed and on the statute books.
Among the other measures which are
expected to make their appearance in the
first days of the session are the Morris
Canal abandonment bill, bin for the
publication of the Passaic Valley aud
one abolshing the fee system in all coun-
ty offices. The first two will be among
the batch which win be brought here by
the Essex delegation, and there are sew
eral aspirants for the honor of introduce
ing the last.
William HI. C. Jackson. of Middlesex,
has announced his intention of inhrodue
ing an anti-fee bill and he declares that
he is going to put it through. There IS a
strong popular demand for such a neas-
ure, but heretofore the opposition which
the county officials Interested have been
able to bring against it has been power
full enough to make that demand Of no
avail.
Several bills to regulate the speed OF
automobiles insthis State are looked for.
There is a strong sentiment, particularly
in the districts. that the present law is
not adequate to deal with the evil of
reckless automobilsts from otaer States
who fly over this States excellent roads
with utter disregard for the lives and
property of our citizens.
1t is also expected that some legisla-
ton looking to the elimination of bribery

tempted at the coming session. Cover

he has given the subject much consider

ton in this direction in his forthcoming
message. 1t is assumed that these II O.
concentrations will be of "a preventive

of this city. is expected to create pub
