SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-The at

preparing legal devices to prevent Su-
perior Judge Dunno from proceeding
with Ruefs trial tomorrow on the
charge of extortion.
An appeal to the United States su-
preme court asking for a writ of pro-

forwarded to Washington tomorrow.
United States District Judge De Haven

RAILROADS WILL CONTEST
Nebraska's Two-C,nt Rate viii Be
Bitterly Fought
Bv AssocIated Press.

BY Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb., March 10-It is au-
thoritatively announced in a private
report Of official character from Chi
cago that the railroads Of Nebraska will
contest the two-cent passenger fare
law which the legislature enacted a
week ago and the governor signed last
Wednesday at midnight, placing it in
effect at once.
The roads are now preparing to carry
the case to the courts and there make a
vigorous case to determine the validity
of the law.
When the law was enacted it carried
an emergency clause which provided
for it's operation upon its being signed
by the governor or within five days
without his signature.
the governor, George L. Sheldon,
though elected by the Republicans upon
so-called anti-railroad platform last
fall, on the stump during the campaign
advocated a graduated scale of fares
rather than a fiat two-cent law, believ-
ing the latter would be confiscation in
many cases of small or branch roads.
So when the Legislature passed the bill
providing for a fiat two-cent rate Gov
ernor Sheldon hesitated to sign the bill,
thinking to be consistent with his pre-
election course.
But when he considered that without
mis- signature the law which the people
demanded might be unconstitutional
owing to the wording of the emergency
clause he decided to sign it rather than
place himself in the way of what the
majority of the legislature had deemed
wise measure.
The railways, however, contend that
the governor did not relinquish his for
mer conviction as to the unfairness of
such a measure.

SHIPPERS TALK
Of A NEW LINE
TO NEW YORK

Shippers In this city and New York are
discussing the advisability of organizing
a steamship company on the cooperative
plan, the large shippers being themselves
stockholders and directors In the con-
cern. This movement is given additional
impetus because OF the action of the New
Haven road in obtaining control OF prac-
tically all the lines and making rates TO
suit themselves. One OF the reasons urg-
ed I'm favor OF the plan Is that a CO.
operative line will be safe from being
gobbled up by the steamship combine.
Norwich shippers have given a good ex-
ample OF the practicability OF establish
ing such line. A cooperative line was
established there some four months ago
and the venture has proved an unqualified
success. The new scheme has the sup
port OF great number OF large shippers
and will soon be put into operation.
