I'm destroying the utility Of the roads by
oppressive legislation. They ere a ueces-
sity. we have the right to regulate. but
not to destroy them,
con this subject the democrats have at
least four plans and all underlined. They
come from as many different sections OF
the state and are diverse. What would be
the effect II they each presented their plan
in the legislature? There would be division
and defeat Of the promised reform.
Terminal should he Assessed.
1--WE believe in the assessment of the
terminal property for municipal purposes.
The Burlington and Union Pacific combined
do not nay more than $1,000 per year under
the present laws. We propose they should
pay their full share which by rights be-
longs 70 the city where the terminals are
located This in Omaha and South Omaha
would amount TO more than 100000 an
nuaily. We pledge ourselves to compel a
just and reasonable assessment OF such
taxes upon all railroad property.
Compared to the street railway, the two
roads mentioned pay $4,000 while the mu-
nicipaI corporation pays $4,000, Anyone can
see the Injustice Of that. When we COM
pei as we shall, the roads to pay their
share Of the tax it will relieve the burden
q
the taxes will be to that extent reduced.
THE employers liability act which we
propose holds the company liable for any
accident which maN befall an individual
due to neglect Of the company or the con-
tributory negligence Of an employee Of the
same. This is a measure Of the greater
value placed on human life in these days.
Life has been held very cheap by many
coruora fions and comma MES
On the question of home rule for South
Omaha the speaker said he had the utmost
confidence in the ability of the people OF
this city to govern themselves.
AS to the 2-cent fare for passenger traf-
! fc proposed by the democrats, Mr. Sheldon
said: 'yThe same difficulty arises here as
! IN the regulation Of freight rates. There
| is road in the northeast part OF the state
which has for some time been paying no
dividends and nothing would be easier than
for this road to carry the law to the SUI
preme court and have it set aside from the
fact that It forced the road out OF exist
ence.
state Debt Reduced.
The affairs OF the state. he continued,
have been most economically administered.
The debt has been reduced $li5,0O0 and at
the present rate win be wiped out in six
years. This deficiency arose during the
days of the fusion legislature.
1--WE have put the railroads and the cor
porations out of the party and we are glad
Of It. We have been party to stand foF
the right. we have accomplished things in
our history We stand for al square deal
between man and man."
| Following Mr.. Sheldon. Robert Cowell. the
candidate for railroad commissioner, made
splendid appeal to the voters to stand by
the principles Of the party which always
had given good government. A. w. Jeffries
made a speech of fifteen minutes which was
most heartily applauded. 1t was full of
| telling arguments for the ticket and the
party.
Hon. John L. Kennedy spoke briefly as
4 the hour was late.

I'VE have tried the old maximum freight
rate bill and tried TO make Il general
law and apply alike to all roads. 1t lie in
this particular that the law is a failure.
No two roads have the same earning ca
pacity There are FIRST, second and third
class roads in this respect. The rate which
would not iniure the first class road might
nut the third class road out Of business en-
tlrely This through many legal con-
troversies and upon decisions OF the United
states supreme court, Is held unconstitu-
tional road which cannot pay expenses
or dividends cannot be compelled TO en-
dure a further reduction ~ freight charges.

is TO vest the power OF regulation IN a

az well. for in either case II the contrary
exists there can be appeal to the courts
and the laws set aside. There is no logic

HAS A CHANCE TO RECOVER
Day Compton, Who Was Accidentally
Shot at Hotel Argyle, Makes
Brave Fight

Day Compton, who accidentally shot
himself Sunday noon at Hotel Argyle,
may recover. Compton was rummaging
through a suit case for a box of cigars
and allowed revolver to drop from
its holster. The hammer of the weapon
struck on the table and one of the
cartridges was exploded.
Compton was removed to the Good
Samaritan hospital by order of DR..
Bryson and upon examination it was
found that the bullet entered his body
II little above the groin and lodged In
the pelvic cavity. For a time 1t was
thought that Compton would Gle, but
his condition Yesterday was such that
lead to the belief that he might re-
cover.
Though fully aware of his condition
Compton seemed cheerful and cX-
pressed himself as hoping that he
would live until his parents arrive from
his home at Findlay, Ohio. Several
days ago Comptons parents started
for Los Angeles and are expected to
arrive the latter part of the week.

PROTEST AGAINST THE
CARNIVAL OF CRIME

BETTER PROTECTION
Recent Murders Of Women Arouse the
Churches to Insist on More Effect
i've Policing of the City-Mayor
Joins Appeal
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Protests, loud
and insistent, came from Chicago pull
pits yesterday against the lawless con-
ditions which were held responsible
for the murder of Mrs. Franklin c..
Hollister. This crime, added to the
killing of three other women within Il
few months, reused the ministers and
congregations to demand that better
protection be given by the police to
women
Mayor Dunno, who returned during
the day from Denver, Joined in the ap-
peal. saying that the city needed more
policemen. He declared it to be the
duty of the council to provide the
means for putting large enough force
of patromen out to cover the city
thoroughly.
This also was demanded by the First
Methodist church. Plans for a mass
meeting to compass this end were made
by others.
Sorrow and anger mingled in the SER
vices at the Wesley Methodist church,
of which Mrs. HolliSter was member.
Members of the choir, in which she
sang, could not sit in their seats before
the congregation, but remained in the
peWs.
lNlCndTu u. lNeuS, VIII SlTduSleu
Mrs. Holister Friday evening, told
two stories of the disposal of the brown
seal muff which his victim had swung
in her hand when seen few hours
before she disappeared.
He said he carried it away with him
under his coat and hid it. Later he said
he threw it into a garbage can. The
police could not find the muff. Out
of this there arose a stronger feeling
on the part of some of the police that
lVens had accomplices.
Relatives of Mrs. Hollister We're con-
WINGED the young murderer had not
worked alone. They argued that the
victim must have been detained early
in the day by members of the evil
gang" and perhaps was murdered be-
fore evening and her body removed to
the stable where it was found.
Richard Ivens, the father of the mur-.
derer, began to work up a defense for
his son. His plea will be insanity He
said the young man had acted
''queerly."

A DOZEN l5'

This is the sign a fruit vender on
South Hill street displays upon his
wagon with an idea that people will be
attracted by the cheapness Of his
oranges.
He is not so badly mistaken either
and yesterday secured many a ten cent
piece that he would not have received
if people thought that they were only
going to receive eight oranges for their
dime.
When the customer has deposited his
money in the peddler's hand the Vender
would put eight oranges in a bag and
give them to the purchaser.
Nearly everyone complained that they
had been short counted. but would not
argue long because they saw that it was
no use. The following conversation
which took place between the Vender
and a customer was overheard:
You only put eight in that bag"
said the buyer.
"Well, dats all youse got comm"
"Your sign says 10 cents Dozen"
You is funny 'Merican. Can't read

The customer again glanced at the
sign and distinguishing the small fig
ures walked away, muttering: Bun

CLEVER THIEVES
BAFFLE SLEUTHS
SANTA FE AND POLICE ARE
WORRIED BY GANG
Contents of Mail Boxes Their Pro-
posed Prey, but Mystifyine Petty
Larceny Is Carried on by
the Marauders

Information leaked out at the central
police station that gang of thieves
whom the police believe is the same
That laid plans 20 carry on systematic
robbery of United states mail boxes
after patterning a key from the box
stolen from Rampant and First streets
some weeks ago, has been looting ma
chine shops, tool houses, switch shan
ties and in the Santa Fe yards during
the past few days.
Despite the vigilance of the Officers
and private detectives of the railroad
since the theft was discovered, the
thieves continue to loot places in which
tools are being kept. Men from the
police force working in conjunction
with the special officers have given
much time to the robberies, but they
continue.
When first discovered the police were
lead to the belief that the robberies
were carried on by amateur crooks
Constant inquiry, however, has de-
veloped the facts that the robbers are
clever criminals. and from the class
of their work they are desperate.
by stealing lunch baskets of train
men and other small articles the gang
at first succeeded in making the Off
GERS believe that it was composed of
tramps or common vagrants. A thor
ough policing of the district in which
the robbers were committing their dep
relations was instituted.
Still tools and other valuabl articles
were missed from the shanties and
shops. The idea that the men were
working in the night gave way to what
the detectives thought to be the right
theory: that they were working in the
day. Investigation and thorough po-
Icing in the day revealed nothing.
Not Amateurs
The mysterious thefts continued and
the police officers were called in to as
sist Before the experienced men of
the department had worked on the case
long they gave out to the railroad COM
papy the startling information that
they were dealing with clever GRIM
inals. All the ear marks of the work
showed that the robbers were not anna
teurs.
After conference Monday afternoon
between the agents of the Santa Fe
and the police it was decided that
strenuous efforts should be made to To-
cate the gang. The officers are said to
have discovered traces that lead to
the belief that the gang is the same
that planned to work a systematic
stealing of valuable letters from mail
boxes.
1t is now the idea of the officers
working on the case that members of
the gang have secured confederates
among some laborers or have secured
employment in the service of the COM
pany and are assisting the gang.
Developments are expected soon.
