LANE SUSTAINs FRUIT MEN
Orders Northwestern to withdraw
Order Requiring Commission
Company to Prepay Charges.

The Western Fruit Jobbers' association
has scored once against the railroads. Sec
rotary p. b. Branch has received word
from Franklin X. Lane OF the Interstate
Commerce commission that the commits
sion has directed the Northwestern rail-
road to withdraw its order forbidding its
agents to accept, freight consigned to the
Gamble Robinson Commission company of
Minneapolis. unless all charges are pre-
paid.
Secretary Branch says the reason for
the railroads action against the Gamble
Robinson company lies in the fact that the
two had trouble over a shipment of fruit,
on which the Gamble-R Robinson company
refused to pay charges which it considered
exorbitant. The matter went into the
courts and the railroad decided to require
prepayment of charges on goods consigned
to the company.
The Western Fruit Jobbers' association
sent protests to the railroad, but received
no recognition whatever. The association
appealed to the Interstate Commerce COM
mission. This was on February Is.
On February % Secretary Branch re-
ceived a-letter from Mr.. Lane of the COM
mission. 1t enclosed letter of Mr.. Lane
to Marvin Hughitt, president of the North
western road, and informed Mr.. Branch
that II the road did not at once withdraw
the order, the Gamble Robinson company
might file complaint, which would be heard
at once in Washington. The letter of Mr..
Lane to Mr.. Hughitt said in part:
Formal complaint will be made before
the commission unless this order is with
drawn. / shall be pleased to be informed
of the facts in the law justifying such an
order"

COMPLETE SAMPLE STEEL CAR
Union Pacific Makes One I'm Local
shops of Hundred Thousand
Capacity.

The Union Pacific has completed the con-
struction of a sample steel car at the
Omaha shops, with a capacity OF 10000
pounds This car is 40 feet long over its
sill ends and feet los inches wide over
the side sills. The height inside is feet
10 inches. The car is so built as to carry
full capacity of the lighter grains-corn.
rye and barley. This car is built as an
experiment by Mr.. McKeen, and II II Is
approved Will be built largely for the Har-
riman lines. The weight is but SS,45O
pounds. while the wooden car of the same
size weighs 200 pounds. 1t is hoped to
further reduce the weight.
The problem has been to get away from
conventional lines and use the added
strength of the steel to better advantage
than could be done II the lines Of the old
wooden cars were followed.
There is only one center sill, which is
made of a 15-inch, 42-pound l beam. and
this extends II inches beyond the center OF
the body bolster. At this point 12-inch.
aOjh-pound channels are riveted to the web
OF the center sill and they extend out, form
ing the draft timbeTs and are spaced 1915
inches apart back to back OF the channels.
The end sill is an S-inch, 1lh-pound channel
and to this Is riVeted a steel casting which
supports the outer end of the coupler.
Taken altogether the car is one Of consider
able interest on account of the originality
of it's design and the economical use Of
materials, which has resulted in a car
that is stronger and more durable than
the wooden car and weighs less.

LAST SERVICE IN OLD CHURCH
81. Marks ConEregation Leaves Home
of Twenty Yehra.

81. Marks Congregation Leaves Home
of Twenty Years.
More than ordinary interest attached TO
the services yesterday at st. Marks
Lutheran church, Twenty-frst and Bur
dette streets. II was the last Sunday
spent in the building which has housed
the congregation for more than twenty
years. Next Sunday the first services
will be held in the new church now near
ing completion, at the corner of Twentieth
and Burdette streets, one block east of
the old building.
The pastor, Rev. DR.. L. Groh, took for
his text yesterday, Arise, and Let Us Go
Hence" He reviewed briefly the career
Of the congregation. it's work and its
hopes. He pointed out that the going into
a new building was not the realization OF
a hope upon which the members could
rest, but It was only an opportunity for
greater work in the future and widening
OF the field of effort.
In the Sunday school several of the
members of the church and officers of tho
school made brief talks. Among these
were Charles II. Pulls, John Harberg, J. F.
Wilhelmy c. D. Schultz and Louis Neese.
The congregation was organized twenty
years ago, when the Kountze Memorial
church became so large and its member
ship so scattered that a church in the
northern part, of the city was desirable,
The first meeting was held in a store
building on Twenty-fourth street during
thunderstorm. the falling OF the rain on
the tin roof making conversation in the
building almost impossible. Later. after
much effort, the frame building WAS
erected and has been used continuously
for two decades. Last winter the congre-
cation decided to build and now the church
at Twentieth and Burdette is nearly com
pleted and is one OF the prettiest churches
in the city. Services will be held in the
basement until the upper part is entirely
ready.
The final service in the old building was
the evening meeting yesterday. The pas
tor preached on Enlarge Your Borders"
The final words were said then. The eyes
of some of those who have attended the
little old church for many years were
dimmed with tears as they left the build
ing for the last time.

HUNT GETS COLD RECEPTION
Preacher of Bassett Divorce NOtOriety
Doesn't Pay Hall Rent with
Lecture.

The crowd that appeared at the Lyric
theater yesterday afternoon TO hear Rev.
p. Lawrence Hunt Of Bassett divorce trial
notoriety, was decidedly disappointing from
the standpoint of the box ONCE. Less than
100 persons were present, not sufficient to
pay the rent OF the hall. and It is not GER
tain that all of them paid the Is cents ad-
vertised as the price TO get in.
After few preliminary remarks upon
his conception of the home and it's rela-
ton to the church and the state. Mr.. Hunt
entered upon the discussion OF the case
in which he has been so prominent.
He voiced in strongest terms his own
contempt for the decision Of the court In
Washington giving Mr.. Bassett divorce;
he denounced the methods of his enemies
and said the testimony produced by them
was that of ''perjured niggers;" he pro-
tested his own innocence and througout,
eulogized Mrs Bassett in the highest terms
when the head of the home, instead of
being like god, is like DEVIL said Mr..
Hunt. then the mission OF the church to
the home is to teach the wife to become
perfect through suffering. That has been
the mission OF the one who figures in this
very sad case. This noble woman had tried
to love her husband through all his cruelty.
In the last extreme, she spoke TO her pas
tor and his advice was to try still to get
along and make the best Of IT,
my enemies have given as impression
that the man standing before you is
guilty Of breaking up a home through love
OF another mans wife. II is false.
Regarding the divorce suit, this lady
came here to get a place OF peace and
quiet. In time she filed suit for a divorce
Service was had upon her husband in the
ONCE Of Secretary Herbert in Washington.
He flung the paper on the table, hurried
out Of the once and two days later his
revenge suit was fled In Washington
naming me correspondent"
Mr.. Hunt then told how a reporter called
1T his home in Brooklyn for a statement
and how he had labored to have the
scandal kept out Of the newspapers. But
now, he said, the time had come for a
statement OF his side OF the case He read
letter received from Henry e Davis, his
own attorney in Washington subsequent
to the decision OF the Washington court
In describing Mr.. Davis eminent legal
abilities Mr. Hunt compared him to Baxter
Van Dusen. Mrs. Bassett's attorneys
here. and contrasted him with Stout the
opposing attorney.
Henry q Davis" he said, has a legal
brain as crystal clear as Van Dusen's, a
heart as big as Judge Bakers and a SOU
such as could put a dozen like stouts II
his vest pocket"
Rev. Mr.. Hunt has an easy, earnest man
ner in speaking. but displays no marked
oratorical powers.

Rev II. c. Herring preached his farewell
sermon to a large congregation at the

Lay up for yourselves treasures In
heaven" Matthew vi:2O, is the text from
which he spoke. The greatest treasures
that can be laid up in heaven by you and
me-" he said ARE those OF friendship.
Our record there will be large or small
IN proportion to the friendships we have
made with God. Abraham was the friend
of God. Enoch walked with God. Jesus
said, Our Father which art in heaven,
and father means friend. John spoke OF
the fellowship Of Jesus.
"A friend is one you enjoy being with
speaking with; one whose advice you seek.
Some Of you have manifested GOODNESS
toward God, and hence your friendship
with Him is not great. God made His
friendship known to us by sending His
Son to us. So our friendship and fellow
ship with Jesus Christ will make ouI
most valuable asset in heaven.

be completes without those who enjoyed
friendship In God and with Gods friends
How blessed to US are those who live under
Christian influences. All we need is the
expansive power OF Jesus friendship and
love- and then we will have illimitable
friends When we think of the friends
that have gone out from among us. what
a vast treasure Of holy friendships awaits
us on the other shore.
1--WE must leave all out OF our lives that
comes between our lives and Gods holy
friendship. DO those things that will bring
you in close fellowship with God There
is place for all who endeavor to do Gods
will. Our fellowship is great on this
earth, but how much greater in heaven
Nothing that you have is your own here
Some OF you have not loved the church
during the last nine years that have beer
with you as 1 wish you had. Be misers
IL needs be, in laying up these heavenly
treasures, and be prodigal in your energies
to spread the gospel for future grace and
glory"
Dr. Herring will soon go to New Yorl
to begin his work as secretary of the Con
gregational Home Mission society. A re
ception for him win be held at the church

MISSION WORK AMONG INDIANS
Handicaps to Success I'm the Winnie

winnebago Indians, lectured at the First
Presbyterian church Sunday night. describ-

trating their life and habits with stere-
opticon views He dwelt at length upon
the chief characteristics Of the Indian race,
hereditary traits, religion, or lack Of re-
ligion, and the obstacles which are en-
countered in trying to Christianize them.
Education, he thought. must go hand in
hand with mission work In order to benefit
the Indian. He had found the principal
obstacle in getting the Indian to accept
Christianity to be his reluctancy in break
ing away from the medicine dance, which
is a form of heathenism, and which has
been held as sacred by the Indians for
generations. He said that 20 per cent OF
the Indians who graduate from colleges
return to the reservation and go back to
the old habits of life.

A. M. BoRGLUM, Secretary.

OMAHA, Feb. z3-To the Editor OF The
Bee: Judging from the action Of the
finance committee OF our legislature in
emitting an appropriation to the State
Board of Health. It is not generally known
that our state board is acting in three sep
arate capacities. some states having three
separate boards.
Under the law Of 1891 they act as ncens-
ing board for physicians, this law having
been enacted to prevent our state becoming
dumping ground for those refused license
by neighboring states. Pay for this work
comes from fees OF candidates. It seems
an easy task till one learns that a fun
month may be needed 10 justly rate those
examined in June, and one or two meetings
at Lincoln. beside the examination itself,
before the ratings are published.
Second-Under the quarantine law of 1905
this board is to supervise quarantine of
contagious diseases over the state. In ac-
cord with it's published rules" making II
really a board of health. To aid local
boards in diagnosis. quarantine, disinfec-
ton, and to avoid friction and delay a med
teal inspector is annually appointed under
this law and nearly all his time has been
demanded over the state under the con-
slant direction OF the state board, which
receives and tabulates. all reports OF disease
and in many ways advises and supports
the local board.
Third-In 1906 an entirely new law was
passed naming the third capacity In which
the state board shall act. This was In
response to a resolution Of congress passed
1--WE years ago. and under the direction and
| advice OF the census bureau at Washington
This was the vital statistics law for the
