LINCOLN, Neb. July 12.-Before Judges
W. H. Munger and T. c. Munger of the
federal court attorneys for the railroads
traversing this state, sought today to re-
move from the state courts to the federal
courts the cases filed by the state of Ne
braska, to compel observance of recently
enacted railroad legislation. Whether or
not the state is real party at interest
when attempting to enforce its own laws
in its own courts was debated by Judge
w. ID. McHugh of Omaha, representing the
Union Pacific, and Attorney General
thompson, appearing for the state.
The laws sought to be enforced are the
tWo-cent fare law, the maximum fret ght-
rate law and the anti-pass and railway
commission acts. The railroad attorneys
insisted that the state was not a real
party to the suit it had no pecunary
interest in the matter.
The attorney general quoted from JUS

wrongdoing of one, resulting in injury

Details of Employment of Counsel.
HAYWOOD Admitted Indictment.

Haywood said he was indicted for incit-
ing to riot at Victor following the indie
pendence depot explosion. He was in Dem
Yer at the time. The case never came to
trial, a nolle prose- being entered by Dis
tr.ct Attorney c. c. Hamlin, who prior to
his election had been secretary of the
Mine Owners Association.
This ended the direct examination, and
Senator Borah began to cross-question the
prISOnerwitneSs.
He dwelt upon the interest the miners
at Silver City, Idaho, took in the Occur
q Alenc troubles. Haywood said a COM

for Orchard and to look after the interests
of the organization first came up. Haywood
said he and Meyer consulted with General
Counsel Murphy. who advised going very
slowly in the matter. After considering
the subject for a day or two Murphy ad-
vscd the employment of Mr. Nugent.
The defense offered in evidence a letter
written by General Counsel Murphy to At
torney Nugent, but it was ruled out by
Judge Wood on the ground of immateriai-
ity.
An exception was noted.
Details of Employment of Counsel.
Haywood went into the details of the
final employment of Attorney Fred Miller

time Attorney Crump, who had represented

how the other two Commissioners can OPP
pose this second site recommended by him.
In picking out the SITE he SAID, Il
nave overcome the only objection TO the
nrst site offered by Commissioners Mac
fariand and West, that of standing in t.
line of building progress in that direction.
II my colleagues oppose this second site
and outvote me on my recommendatior..
SAID Capt. Morrow. Vt Will be for 40 other
reason than bowling to the whms OF public
sentiment and the protests from few per
sonally-interested citizens"
Views of Capt. Morrow's Colleagues.
Commissioner West is OF TIE opinion that
and that it should be located near the
pumping station. and personally he would
like to see it located on the site behind
the pumping station, as has been recon-
mended by Capt. Morrow, but he stated
that he fully appreciates the fact that the
sentiment of that neighborhood must be
given serious consideration by the Com
missioners. How he will vote upon this
second site, and in the event OF its dSteat,
how he will stand in the matter of giving
the hauling to a contractor who will build
a stable in that neighborhood, he refused to
say, explaining that he has not fully con-
Sidered the case
Commissioner Macfarland also declined to
give an expression of his views on the
possible outcome of this stable fight" He
simply said that the only official protests
that have been received by the Commits
sioners against the second site are one
from the North Washington Citizens AS
ISOLATION and two or three from individuals
who reside in that neghborhood. He en-
phasiZed the fact that this lack of protest
will have considerable weight with the
Commissioners in their final action upon
the case.
1t is said the case will be settled by
the latter part of next week

Tables of Earnin gs.

Mr.. McCrea answered questions regard
ing the tables of earnings, expenses, etc,
of the passenger business in the state pre-
sented yesterday, and was then cross-ex-
amined by City Solicitor Gendeu on the
figures submitted This brought out moth
ing new.
On redirect examination Mr.. McCrea
said that if the Communication rates were
increased to two cents there would be a
very considerable decrease in the general
suburban travel. Mr.. McCrea then left
the stand after being under examination
for one hour.
John B. Thayer, fourth vice president
was then called. Mr. Thayer has charge
of the general traffic business of the COM
pany. He said the two-cent fare law would
not stimulate business. He supported this
by submitting figures on various classes
OF passenger tickets, which, in the course
OF business. had been reduced in price,
which showed there was very little in
crease in business beyond the average nat
ural increase of many years
Increased Cost of Operation.
Testifying to the increased cost Of the
operation of the road, Mr.. Thayer said all
| materials increased in price from s to u
per cent. and that there is no prospect this
year of prices coming down. The increase
! in wages made last year added SO, 500 900
to the expenses of the companys lines east
| of Pittsburg. Mr.. Thayer said he esti-
mated that if the two cent-fare law went
into effect it would cause loss of more
| than 10000 year in the passenger
earnings. 1t would mean a reduction in
interstate well as in ntrastate fares.
Mr.. Thayer would not admit that the
ia bles showing the percentage of earnings
| were largely guesswork, but said they We're
| prepared the basis of revenue train
mileage used by many railroads and is
considered the best system known.
EDr too = av,t Of
| the Great Northern railway, followed Mr.
Thayer. He is in charge of accounts of the
Great Northern. He said the apportion-
ment of passenger accounts by the Penn
sylvania railroad the most fair that
could be made. At 1890 o'clock there was
! a recess.

passengers who travel at the rate of more
than cents a mile and a great number
who pay under cents, why not charge all
classes uniform rate of cents" asked
Mr.. Johnson.
1t would be unfair to the railroad and
to the public. The general practice of all
railroads is to carry short riders at lower
rate
would you carry more passengers II the
present law rs put into effect? -
mo, sir. My observation is that the slim
ulation of traffic is dependent largely upon
the character of the service and the natural
increase of population and business. The
tWo-cent fare does not affect the short
riders who now pay under that figure and
the longer distance riders, generally speak
ing, will not ride more frequently because
the fare has been cheapened but will con-
tinue to ride only their affairs demand
