DAMAGES ARE AGREED ON
Compromise Reached whereby Man
Falling Through Elevator
Gets Snug sum.

After the jury had been impaneled and a
part of the testimony taken a settlement
was reached in the case of Albert Sjoberg
against Frank Burnley and Hugh McCaf-
frey, growing out of injuries received by
Sjoberg by falling down an elevator shaft
in the <imball laundry building, belonging
to the defendants. BY the terms of the
settlement Sjoberg will receive $3.50 in
cash above the costs of the suit
Mr. Sjoberg was connected with the
Swedish Tribune, with an Office in the top
story of the building. He stepped into the
elevator shaft, thinking he was going into
closet. He fell more than twenty feet
and lay unconscious until he was found the
next day. Among other injuries the frac-
ture of one leg made it necessary to re-
move about four inches of the bone.
Mr.. Sjoberg is said to be an inventor of
considerable ability. One of his inventions
is the contrivance on voting machines,
making it impossible for the voter to cast
his ballot for more than the right number
of candidates for each office.

EDNONSON CASE ON TRIAL
Lincoln Matter Before Grand Jury Promises
to Be Remarkable.
MORE OLD SOLDIERS ARE ON HAND
some Come from rs Far as Illinois
60 Tell OF Filing on Govern
ment Land in Ne
braska.

The federal grand jury was engaged in
hearing testimony in the Edmonson case
from Lincoln on Wednesday. The case
Is one wherein It is alleged that some
public land procured by fraudulent afl-
davits was traded for other valuable prop
erty at Lincoln or in that vicinity. The
case is said to possess some sensational
features and may result in an indictment
for forgery as well as perjury.
Owing to the lateness of the hour when
the federal grand jury had finished its
days work Wednesday evening and be-
cause Of the absence Of Judge Munger
from the building no report was submitted
The testimony in the Edmonson case is
said to have been completed and the hear
ing of the evidence in the land fencing
cases was resumed. Thursday will be an
other busy day, as It is the wish of the
federal officials to get through with the
battalion IL old soldier witnesses, and per-
nit them to return to their homes. The
jury will resume work at $50 this morning
The investigation into the fraudulent
land filings within the Spade ranch en-
closures was resumed upon the conclusion
Of the lincoln case. Among the witnesses
summoned in these cases are some 200 or
more old soldiers, who were induced TO
make the filings with the understanding
that the cattlemen would buy the land OF
them as soon as they had completed their
final proof. Eight old soldiers are here
from the Illinois Soldiers home at Quincy,
twenty or more from the city of Quincy
and vicinity, ninety or more from different
points in Iowa, eight from the Soldiers
home at Milford and a number Of young
women, stenographers and teachers, from
different parts Of Nebraska and Iowa, who
were induced to make filings under the
Kinkaid act, with the view of later dispos-
ing of the lands to the cattlemen
Many OF the old soldiers assert they
never went onto the lands at all. and
others say the same piece of land was
shown to different ones as the land that
had been selected for them

HEAVY RAIN WASHES TRACKS
WashOuts in Some Places in Nebraska
Requiring Much Time for
Repairs.

Considerable damage was done through
the state by the heavy rain of Monday
night. Places most seriously affected were
Long Pine. Uehllng and Riverton. Be-
tween Riverton and Inavale several wash
outs were reported, which required all day
to get the tracks repaired so the trains
could pass.
Because OF the new service inaugurated
by the Rock Island between Fairbury and
Kansas City and to facilitate the opera
ton of trains, a change has been made In
the territory of the Kansas and Missouri
divisions. The Missouri division has been
extended to Horton, Kan, instead Of st,

sociation had an informal hearing Sat
urday before the interstate commerce
commission in regard to the ruling
which the commission has made de-
claring, in effect, that under the
amended interstate commerce law rail-
roads cannot enter into contracts with
for advertising and give
in return therefor railroad transporta-
ton. To the remarks of one of the
members that the railroads preferred
the old method, Chairman Knapp de-
clared that on the other hand promi-
nent railroad men had applauded and
the action of the commits
sion
The chairman declared that the COM
explicitly and unqualified
ly prohibited transportation by rail-
roads of persons or property except in
accordance with the precise terms of
the tariffs filed for that purpose, and
that every tariff provided for the pay
ment of services rendered in money.

Washington. Dec. 17.-In a special
message to congress today on his visit
to the canal zone President Roosevelt
takes occasion to use the big stick on
those who have seen fit to publicly
criticise the canal management in the
various phases of the work. In the
course of his comments he says:
can inspection on the ground at the
height of the rainy season served to
convince me of the wisdom of con-
gress in refusing to adopt either high
level or a sea-level canal. There
seems to be a universal agreement
among all people competent to judge
that the Panama route, the one actual
ly chosen. is much superior to both the
Nicaragua and Darien routes.
"The wisdom of the canal manage
ment has been shown in nothing more
clearly than in the way in which the
foundations of the work have been
laid. To have yielded to the natural
impatience of i'll informed outsiders
and begun all kinds of experiments in
work prior to a thorough sanitation of
the isthmus, and to a fairly satisfac-
tory working out of the problem of get
ing and keeping sufficient labor sup
ply. would have been disastrous. The
various preliminary measures had to
be taken first; and these could not be
taken so as to allow us to begin the
real work on construction prior to Jan.
1 of the present year 1t then became
necessary to have the type of the canal
decided, and the only delay has been
the necessary delay until the 10Th day
of June, the date when the congress
definitely and wisely settled that we
should have an S5-foot level canal. I'm
mediately after that the work began in
hard earnest and has been continued
with increasing vigor ever since: and
it will continue so to progress in the
future. When the contracts are let the
conditions will be such as to insure a

MUDDLE CLEARED
Chicago Street Railway to be
Brought Under City
Control
I'LL IN SINGLE SYSTEM
Price Fixed at $5o,ooo,o 900 if Lines are
Eventually Purchased by Mu-
nicipality.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Chicago's street
car question is settled. Unless unfore
seen difficulties arise the present op
Grating companies will undertake an
immediate and complete rehabilitation
of the service, with the city as a part
ner, contemplating eventual municipal
ownership. All lines will be operated
as one system with through service to
all parts of the city for cents.
The value of the existing street car
properties and unexpired franchises
was fixed at s5O,OOO,OOO which amount
the city, whenever it undertakes mu-
nicipal ownership, must pay the com
panies in addition to what is expended
for rehabilitation. OF this amount the
Union Traction company will receive
S29, 100000 and the City railway S21.-
100000 The two companies originally
demanded $74,OOO,OOO for their present
Shnre Receipts.
The city and the companies will
share the net receipts of the street
car business, the city receiving 50 per
cent of the amount and the companies
45per cent.
The companies will be allowed 5 per
cent brokerage in raising the 100000
600 required for the immediate rehabil-
itation of the service.
Five per cent additional will be al
lowed the companies as interest on the
entire investment.
The companies will also receive a
contractors profit of 10 per cent on the
cost of rehabilitation, this theory being
that the work is being done for the
city, which intends eventually to own
the lines.
New Cars, Rails. Subway.
The companies will proceed at once
to a thorough reequipment of street
car service, the features of which will
be new cars, new rails, a subway,
through routes. universal transfers. and
minor measures for the improvement
Of transportation facilities. The work
Of rehabilitation and operation will be
supervised by joint board of engin-

pany has done and will continue to do
all it can to prevent suffering. The
company realized in July the supply
was likely to be inadequate and that
the great increase in general business
would probably produce congestion in
the autumn. We therefore urged all
dealers at that time to look ahead and
provide a stock of coal early and try
to find new sources of supply.
Not Enough Produced.
Il think the reason given in your
message, namely, extraordinary delays
in moving, is incorrect so far as this
company is concerned. The difficulty
in Montana, Idaho and Washington is
that not enough coal is produced to
supply promptly the increased domes-
tic trade and at the same time furnish
railroads with fuel for the operation of
their trains"
Elliott says floods and blizzards have
contributed to delay in moving cars
and freight.
