ROCK ISLAND WORKS ONE WAY
Equalization" Possible for Kansas City,
but Not for Omaha.
REQUEST or GRAIN EXCHANGE REFUSED
Road Now In Position of Making n
Rate that DiscriminAtes Against
Omaha on Grain crown
In Nebraska.

The Omaha Grain exchange has asked the
Rock Island road to do the same thing for
Omaha as against Kansas City that it has
done for Kansas City as against Omaha.
That road says It cannot.
In other words, when IL became evident
to the Grain exchange that Vice President
w. b. Biddle of the Rock Island road could
not be persuaded to withdraw his "eauali-
ration" plan for diverting from Omaha to
Kansas City Nebraska grain destined to
Memphis the exchange proposed to the
Rock Island that Il make a similar "equali-
ration on Kansas wheat destined to Min
neapols, TO be routed via Omaha, on the
basis Of the Kansas City rate. This meant
an exact duplicate, except that It would be
for the beneht OF Omaha. of the Kansas
City-Memphls equalization. The road re-
fused to grant the privilege in a letter.
from which the following extract is taken:
Will state that we do not recognize the
principle (of edualization) as whole, but
we did recognize that in the Memphis case.
II was exceptional from the fact that the
business was moving via Kansas City and
al tnst we me- oIsbt svs TN ssKe1
handling II through the elevators at that
point.
Point Not well Taken.
In this paragraph the point is made that
the equalization principle is not recognized
as a whole but only TO the beneht OF the
Kansas City market, and that the bust
ness was already moving by Kansas City.
Grain men say the statement regarding the
latter Is not true. All points in Nebraska
on and south of the main line OF the Union
Pacific are affected by the equalization. and
the Union Pacific tariff from those points
to Memphis specifically routes the grain by
way OF Omaha. 1t Is the fact that II was
moving by Omaha which brought the
equalization" on what other grounds,
ask the local shippers. was Mr.. Blddle's
plea that he was Obliged to extend the
territory from which the "equalizatio APP
piled because his former action did not
give Kansas City the relief anticipated"
BiddIe says It's Sentiment.
The Rock island people say there is more
sentiment than hurt in the situation for
Omaha and it is shown by the fact that
very little Nebraska grain has been secured
| for the Frisco since July l, when Mr.. Bid
dies plan went into effect That this is
| true is to the credit of the Omaha grain
men. who have been compelled to bid up for
| the grain in the South Platte, and who say
they have paid as high as cents>s bushel
more than the market warrants in order
| to bring the grain by way Of Omaha.

MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE
Serious Charge Lodged Against Light
ner, the Grading Camp
killer,

A complaint charging murder in the first
degree was filed Friday against Charles
Lightner. who killed John Hansen at
grading camp near Waterloo Thursday aft
ernoon. The coroner's jury that heard the
case at 2 o'clock Friday morning recon-
mended that this charge be filed against
Lightner.

Coroner Bradley and Deputy County At
torney Shotwell weTGtn to- waterloo Thurs
day night and took "a handcar to the camp.
The body OF the murdered man was loaded
on the handcar and taken to Waterloo.
where the inquest was held at once in a
barber shop. The evidence disclosed no
motive for the deed except that Lightner
accused Hansen of stealing IS from him.
Hansen had been drinking some and had
gone into his quarters to sleep. Lightner
called him out and began kicking and beat
ing him. Then he drew a razor and flour-
shed IT,
I'm going to show you what 1 can do
with this" he said, and he slashed Han
sen across the arm Hansen ran away from
him and in a few minutes was dead A
crowd of graders bent on lynching Light
ner followed him for some distance, but
lost him. 1t is believed they would have
lynched him II he had been caught. The
razor was found where Lightner had hid
IT, The blade was covered with blood and
was broken where 1t had struck the bone. q
The murder is declared to have been an
unusually brutal one. as Hansen is a small,
inoffensve man and Lightner weighs 200
pounds. Five witnesses from the grading
camp are being held at the county Jail.
County Attorney Slabaugh has filed the
complaint in the ONCE Of Justice of the
Peace Foster and Lightner will probably

that the entire American army is now on
the move by rail or marching to the various

is an unusual and at the same time an in
teiesting one. This Of course applies only
TO the troops stationed in the United States.
The only exception is the coast artillery
stationed In the coast defenses."
The interest OF this statement Is borne
cut by the fact that seven concentration
camps have been established at various
POINTS throughout the United States. They
are located at Mount Aetna, Pa. Indian
