TEMPERANCE CASES.
They Are Heard Today in District
Court by Judge Dana.

The last day of the present term OF
the district court was devoted to hear
ing arguments in the injunction cases
which the State Temperance Union
has brought against jointists in this
city, and owners of the buildings in
which the nuisances are maintained,
to prevent the sale of liquor.
Judge Codding, Frank Foster and
w. H. Cowles appeared for the State
Temperance Union, while G. G. Glenn
ems, Charles MagaW and Galen Mich
OILS appeared for the defendants and
property owners.
The issue upon which the argu-
ments today were based was upon a
demurrer which was filed by Clemens
and Magaw in the seven cases which
have been fled so far. BY agreement
between the litigants the cases were
punched. and will all be tried out at
once.
G. c. Clemens presented the case
for the defendants. He said that a
strict construction of the statutes
leaves no opportunity for an injunc-
ton against a property owner, al
though 1t says that anyone who aids
and abets in the sale of liquor can be
orpsecuted. His trump card, however,
Is that an injunction would be VIOLA
tive of the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution. He argued at length
with the latter as his text.
The attorneys for the State Temper
ance Union declared that none of these
arguments held good, because the su-
preme court had already decided on
them. The case occupied the entire
day in trial Judge Dana reserved

NEBRASKA FIGHTS TRUST.
Bill to Establish State Irvine Factory
at Penitentiary.

Lincoln, Neb., March 29.-If a confer
ence committee of the two houses of the
Nebraska legislature can agree on some
minor differences and if Governor
Mickey shall approve, this state will
follow the lead of Kansas in its flight
on the Irvine and Cordage Trust by es-
tablishing at the state penitentiary,., at
Lincoln, factory for the manufacture
of binding Irvine. raar
It is not expected that the proposed
state factory will at the start be of
sufficient capacity to supply the de-
mands of the farmers of Nebraska, but
the output, it is asserted, will be enough
to regulate the price and force the trust
to lower its price anywhere from one
to three cents a pound. mat mas peen
the experience in Kansas, and Nebraska
hopes to do as well. The proposed
plant, however, has a gantlet to run be-
fore it is established, in spite OF the fact
that it has the backing of the entire
farming class in this, a strictly agrlcul-
tural state.
Early in the present session Represen-
tative William Ernst, Republican, one
of the best known farmers in NEBRASKA,
introduced a bill appropr1at1ng SzUo,OOO
for the establishment of factory at the
penitentiary patterned after the one at
Lansing, Kan. Mr.. Ernst and othef
members championed the bill as des-
tined to relieve the trainers from the ex-
actions of the binder Irvine trust, and at
the, same time to partially solve the
problem of convict labor.
So light was the opposition that the
bill passed the house weeks ago by
practically unanimous vote. When it
reached the senate, however, its enc
mics began a campaign against It. me

The bill, however, passed the senate

as to permit of the manufacture of

being to utilize HON grown hax for

quiring the importation of all the raw
material. Representative Ernst con-
tends that the senate amendment
would be fatal, as the soft twine has
proved a failure in every instance in
Nebraska and to manufacture 1t
would be a waste.
The house, therefore, refused 10
concur in the senate amendment, and
there the matter stands. If the SEN

passed and go to the governor, who,

the law, it is believed will not veto it.

COUNCIL TO REPEAL IT.
Councilman Green Says Alley Garbage
Ordinance Is Too Stringent.

The city council will repeal the
present ordinance relating to the
placing of garbage in the alleys of the
city. The matter of repeal will come
up before the next meeting of the
council on Monday, April 3. The pres
ent ordinance prohibits the placing of
garbage and manure in any form in
the alleys. 1t was drawn up and faith
cred by DR.. Menninger of the city
board of health and the members of
the board are objecting strenuously
to its repeal. The repeal of the ordi-
nance will be made in favor of one
less stringent one which permits the
placing of garbage and manure in
boxes in the alleys. There has been
considerable complaint of late over
the attempt on the part of the city to
enforce the Menninger ordinance. The
ordinance has never been vigorously
enforced until here of late.
Councilman Green said today: eve
is not right and is causing a great deal
of trouble and complaint. don't care
what Dr. Menninger says to the con-
trary, the ordinance is too stringent
and should be repealed. People are
forced to dump their manure in their
yards near the barn because it is not
allowed to be placed in a box in the
alley. This is just as unhealthy as if
no ordinance existed at all. There

shall pass the resolution without re-
ferring it to a committee

MRS. MAVERICK ON STAND.
She Testifies in Suit Involving Title
to Lands.

Washington. March 29.-The testi-
mony of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, in the
taking of dispositions in the case of her
mother, Baroness Won Roques against
David W. Armstrong, and others, in
volving valuable tracts of land in Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Kentucky was
concluded today.
Mrs. Maybrick displayed marked ca
pacity for avoiding direct answers to
the rigid questioning to which she was
subjected. She declared with respect to
the signing of certain papers in prison
which were brought to her by Consul
Potter that she was SO imperfectly in
formed as to the communications that
passed between Mrs. Maybrick and her
mother, that she simply signed the doc
umentS without any clear knowledge or
the transaction. Upon being pressed
for a more direct answer, Mrs. May
brick insisted that when she signed the
papers she did not know the nature OF
their contents.
The defendant produced a number Of
letters purporting to have been written
by her mother. Mr.. Potter and others
before and during her Imprisonment,
but she expressed her inability to iden-
tify the hand writing of any one of 16
years ago.

her mother. saying that a statement of
that kind would be too definite
Counsel for the plaintiff objected to a
question as to whether Mrs. MAY brick
had received a pardon from the British
government, but the witness neverthe-
less cautiously replied that she had pa
pers in her possession given her by the
British government Asked If she were
willing to produce them Mrs. Maybrick
replied, with equal caution, that they
were not permitted to be produced ex-
cept at the request of the American gov
eminent On redirect information,
which was confined to one question, Mrs.
Maybrick detailed the circumstances
upon which she acquired an interest in
the property in dispute, saying that at
her marriage her mother gave her as a
decided gift one-third of her property
interest in Kentucky, Virginia and West
Virginia. and later assigned the same in
writing. The deed and assignment, said
Mrs. Maybricl1. had been confirmed re-
peatedly by her mother up to the pres
ent CAV by word of mouth. That she
said, lis the agreement that now exists

STRAWBERRIES AT IS CENTS.
They Are On the Market But Tax
on the Purse.

The first offerings of the southern
strawberry crop are on the Topeka
markets. They are almost worth their
weight in gold, a quart box retailing for
IS cents. Strawberries at this time of
the year are received from Texas and
Louisiana, shipments from the former
place largely predominating.
1t will be several weeks yet before the
market will have enough offerings from
the south to bring a reduction in the
price. Asparagus is about the only
thing new in a vegetable line which is
being offered along Kansas avenue.

One of the most important factors in
street railway progress has been the
combination of formerly independent
railways into great systems. Fifteen or
20 years ago most of our large cities
were served by several separate animal
power railways and there was usually
no competition between these independ-
ent companies in matter of fares. The
introduction of mechanical traction,
especially electric traction, developed n
much stronger tendency toward cohsoli-
dalton than existed before. In most
cases the establishment of a unified
system made it possible to carry pas
sengers more nearly where they wanted
to go and to carry them longer dis
tances: this augmented the traffic of
the railways TO such an extent that it
proved decidedly profitable to the COM
panies. Legislation permitting munich
palities to own and operate street rail-
ways has recently been enacted in a
number of states. There is. however, no
instance in the United States of mu-
nicipal operation of a street railway.
The leading instances of municipal
ownership and private operation are the
subways in Boston and New York.
