NO ATTEMPT At ANY CHANGE
Frisco Road VIII Leave Grain Rate
to the south as IL IL at
Present.

That the Frisco road will not attempt
to make any further changes in rates on
grain from Kansas City south, since the
decision OF the Interstate Commerce COM
mission that its proposed rate on grain
originating in Nebraska, Is illegal, is the
opinion expressed eSmembers of the
Omaha Grain exchangedeTo cut rates from
Kansas City south on grain, irrespective
Of origin, would be, to Invite a cut from
Omaha south by the, Illinois Central, and
the grain men do not believe the Frisco
will begin a rate slashing contest.
THE decision of the commission will
keep Kansas City from getting grain that
rightfully belongs to Omaha" said w. C.
Sunderland. Tt looks to me like It is up
to the Frisco to withdraw the rate or lay
itself liable TO criminal prosecution. l
think that road will let rates rest now. II
it attempts to make a 9-cent rate on coIn
from Kansas city to Memphis. the Illinois
Central will at once make a rate Of 10
cents from Omaha 10, Memphis"
Every man who Is interested in the
welfare OF the Omaha grain market is re-
joicing over the outcome" said ]. E. Won

THE Frisco may find some way to get
around the decision, but 1 doubt it," said
j. II. Hamilton. 1 think we can have no
more to fear from that road"
THE decision has shown the exchange
what it can do when It gets busy" said
A. B. Jaquth. The matter was taken up
with the Interstate Commerce commission
by President Wattles, and in a few days
the commission decided the rate to be
Illegal Now I would Hike to see the ex-
change become just as active for an ad-

Judge Wheeler had three cases before
him yesterday in the Juvenile division Of
the district court The FIRST was that OF
the 1--WE children OF Mrs Daisy Hunt, re-
cent arrival In Council Bluffs from Harri-
son county. The children. one girl. aged
13 years, and four boys whose ages range
from TO II years. were few days ago
taken from their mother and placed in
the Associated Charities Creche. pending
a hearing before Judge Wheeler
Both the mother and father OF the chill
dren were in court and made a strong
resistance To having the children taken
from them. While the evidence before the
court showed that the little ones had been
neglected the court did not deem It SUM-
Client to warrant taking them from the
custody Of their parents. The father asked
that he be given the custody Of the eldest
boy, Edgar, and to this the court agreed
but ordered that he be under the super
vision of Rev Henry DeI,ong. court pro-
baton officer The girl and the three
younger boys were given back to their
mott er and the same order as 70 Rev.
Mr., DeLong having supervision Of them
was made. .-..
The attention OF the court was called by
an information filed by Rev. Henry De-
Long, charging Mrs. Bremen, living on
Ninth street between Twenty-third and
Twenty-fourth avenues, with being an unit
person to have charge, Of her two daugh-
ters, Alice, aged H. and Myrtle aged II
The girls were once before in court for
p falling to attend school, and at that time
the mother promised to do better by them.

Mrs Bramen was not bringing the girls
up in the way she should. The hearing
was continued until Saturday morning.
