Negro Charged with Assault.

John Joseph Chase, a negro, about
twenty-one years old, was arrested little
after l o'clock yesterday morning at a
dance near Landover, Prince Georges
county, Md, and is now in jail at Upper
Marlboro charged with attempting to
criminally assault Miss Elizabeth Wy.
benger, of Columbia Park. Miss Wy
beneer is an attractive blonde, sixteen
wears old, and is of nnusal statue for one
of her age.
Chase was brought to HYattsville early
Yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriff H.
II. Vincent and placed in the lookup
Later, Miss Wybenger came to Hyatts-
vile, and as soon as the girl saw the
negro she declared he was the man who
attem pied the assault. She stated that
she would swear he was the man by the
peculiarly of h.s voice alone, and that
he wore the same clothes he had or
when he attacked her. On Miss Wy
beuger's Identification of Chase, Justice
Carr held him for the action OF the
grand jury in the sum of 81, 900.
Chase denies any knowledge OF the
charge, aud declares he was not in the
vicinity Of the place where it occurred
| To Officer Vincent he told conflicting
stories about his whereabouts on tha
day.

Wanted His Mother Crucified.

w
Recommending that his aged mother
be crucifed and then burned by slow
fire is the manner in which one OF the
sons of Mrs. Olivins Either, Sc years old,
would forever settle the question of the
woman support. ,
This story was told in the Loug Island
City n. Y, Police Court yesterday morn
ing by Miss Emily and Miss Rose Des Jar
diDs, granddaughter ofthe aged woman,
who were in court to assist in prosecut-
ing their uncle, Frei Either, who was
arrested about a week ago, charged with
failing to contribute to his mothers sup
port.
The Des Jardins live in Astoria, where
Mrs. Either, who is Mrs. Des Jardins'
mother, makes her home.
There are nine children in the family.
Mrs. Either is helpless, and her keep
makes considerable inrOads on the family
income. In addition to her daughter,
she has two sons 10 Manhattan, Frederick,
who owns two hanson cabs, and Edward
is said TO be in business for himself.
About 8 year ago, feeling that the
sons should contribute 10 the support OF
their mother, Mrs. Des Jardins bad
Frederick summoned to court, and be
was placed under bonds to give his
mother a stipulated SUN each week. The
payments were forthcoming for some
time, when the bond was discontinued,
and the payments also stopped. Repeat
ed efRrts to get him resume the pay
ments failed. His sister, Mrs. Des
Jardins, swore cut warrant, charging
him with being q disorderly person,
which is the technical charge in 3 case
of this kind, aud he was arrested. As
there is a considerable amount due on
the former ruling of the court, Either
was locked up in the Queens county Jail
TO await hearing, and also until he
paid up his sfresrages. A warrant was
also issued for the arrest of the other
son, Edward, but he has not yet been
found.
"When spoken to about contributing
to the support of his mother" said Miss
Emily Des Jardins to the court, zone OF
nv uncles said oh, why don't you
cruelty the old bag, the same as our Lord
was cruci6ed. She ought 10 be nailed
to cross and fire built under her.
That's the way to support that old witch.
I'd fix her.
The name of the uncle who made
this remark was given to the court by
the young woman, and he may later
be called to answer for his words. The
hearing in court yesterday was ad-
| iourned.

TiilmaD opposes Government Ownership
That the South would never agree to
the. nomination of William Jennings
Bryan on a platform containing govern
ment ownership of railroads was the dec.
laration at Sioux City, Iowa, in an in
terview of Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina, yesterday.
''In the south are to be found the
only true Americans" be said, "snd we
are democrats down there, too. We be-
lieve in a government by individuals and
not in psternalism. We are not ready
to admit the railroads cannot be regu.
lated, and we are not ready to see ap'
praisers transform them into huge Po-
iiiicsl machine. 10 the hands OF the
government, the railroads would be used
for punishment of hostile territory. Dis.
ordinations would be without number.
You northerners must send down tt

One Monopoly Crushed.

The organization of this company nopoly against which so many bitter complaints have been made to the ln- terstate commerce commission, It is the most significant results of the new railway rate bill.
 The plans for the equipment com pany are being worked out by C. w. Midegly of Chicago, car-service eX- pert, who probably has cracked more hard nuts for the railway companies than any other man in the country.
 Mir. Midegely declined today to say just what steps had been taken or what railway companies are the chief packers of the scheme. He stated that a good deal of progress had been made, and said he felt confident the proposed company would be in exist ence within a few months
 Companies to Publish All Tariifs.
 The necessity for great central car company has been in a large measure created by the passage of the new rate law The law makes the private car companies common carriers and re- quires the railways to publish in their tariffs all charges made for icing and other services incident to transporta- ton. The effect of these provisions has been at once to make the buSi- ness of the private companies less profitable, and to make the railways less disposed to use their equipment
 The recent purchase of 6000 refrig- orator cars for the Hartman lines shows the tendency of the roads to discontinue the use of equipment over which they have not complete con- trOl

Winter Wheat Prospect

All reports to the Nebraska crop
and statistical bureau are encourag-
ing. Commissioner Bush says he has
heard of no contemplated abandon
ment of fields to other crops. The
winter was unusually mild, the
changes not being severe. In March
heavy SHOWS brought moisture and
protection, greatly improving Deem
Der conditions. Farmers and grain
dealers agree that April conditions
never were better. The state5s total
acreage is estimated by state Stats
ticians at 100000, a falling off of
100000 as compared with 1906, The
government report for December es-
timated the acreage at 2,141 900 acres.
The discrepancy is big one, but not
more striking than that for Indiana.
Notwithstanding the reported decrease
in area in Nebraska estimates are
made that the crop will be 50,000,000
bushels, although the government al
lowed only 100000 in it's December
report.

State School Apportionment

State Treasurer Mortensen is max
ing no special effort to swell the semi
annual state school apportionment for
May, but nevertheless it will exceed
that of last May. Mr.. Mortensen dur
ing his term broke the previous high
mark set by State Treasurer Meserve
who had the benefit of about 100000
of delinquent interest on the perman-
ent school fund. The amount appor-
toned last May was $4,000 and the
year before it was $4,000. This year
it will be over 100000 Mr.. Morten-
sen does not believe IN trying to swell
the May apportionment for the reason
that such an effort diminishes the De-
cember apportionment.

Must Enlarge culverts

Grand Island, Neb-County Judge
Mullin yesterday granted writ on
the petition and affidavits of the city,
compelling the Burlington company to
open wider culyerts through its belt
line at a point where the belt line
acts as a dam to a natural water
course. The embankment has caused
water to be held ana TO DE backed up
in recent years OH adjacent property,
damaging the latter. For three years
there have been constantly recurring
floods in this section of the city. The
city authorities have, in the mean
time, from time to time, sought an
amicable adjustment of the matter,
but received nothing but promises.
The order makes the opening neces-
sary within three days or permits the
city and its agents to enter the prop
erty of the company and remove the
obstruction.

Mie-Man Line Earns $751;

The Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany, on its mileage in Nebraska dur

every mile 1t owns in he state. This
earning was left over after the road
had paid all of its operating expenses,
