REGARDING RATE MAKING.
One of the Texas Provisions May be
Used in Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb,, Jan. 29.-Special to
The News: At least one provision in
the Texas law has been adopted by
the subcommittee appointed to draft
the bill comforting power on the new
Nebraska railway commission This is
that a rate set by the commission can
not be superseded or set aside until
it is declared unreasonable by a court
of competent jurisdiction. The sub
committee is composed of Senator AL
drich of Butler, Senator Epperson of
Clay, Representative Walsh of Doug
las and Representative Harrison of
Otoe Much discussion has been held
as to whether there shall be one or
two bills and as to the method of pro-
cedure in establishing rates, Senator
Aldrich standing for one bill and Sen
ator Epperson for two.
In regard to the method of proce-
dure in establishing rates, Senator Al
drich's plan is for the commission to
gain information in any way that
seems best by talking to shippers or
others that a certain rate is to be en-
forced on a certain date Then if the
railroad desires to be heard as to why
this order shall not be enforced it may
come before the commission and in
troduce testimony. Senator Epperson
declares that when complaint of rates
is made the commission shall notify
the railroads and others interested, a
hearing shall be had at which testi-
mony shall be taken and facts brought
out in relation to the matter. Then If
the commission believes that a change
should be made, due notice shall be
given the railroad that on a certain
date a certain rate must be established
and enforced. 1t has been argued that
if the commission first grants public
hearing ordering a rate in force the
roads are likely to enjoin the intended
order in the federal courts. Senator
Epperson, however, insists that 1t will
be difficult for the roads to do this
because they cannot tell what the
commission intends to do until after
it has acted and that court is not
! likely to grant an injunction unless a

New York, Jan. 29--Some import
ant changes in the rules governing
football were decided upon today at
n meeting Of the Now joint rules COM
mittee These changes win come be-
fore the Joint rules committee for final
disposition probably i'm March.
Among the changes is tie lengthen-
ing of the halves from thirty to thirty
five minutes each The now rules in
reference to the forward pass provide
instead Of a penalty of loss of ball on
an unsuccessful pass. a fifteen-yard
penalty on the first and second downs
When a foul is committed it counts as
a down. The proposed substitution
for the present forward pass rule is
as follows:
eff forward pass before reaching
the ground or a kicked ball, either be-
fore or after reaching the ground, goes
out of bounds, the ball shall belong to
the opponents at the point where it
crosses the side line"
Another important change is the
creation of a new official, the field UNI
pire.
The new game, it was stated today,
often made it difficult for the referee
and umpire to settle contested plays,
so the new official was created, to be
on the field on the defending territory
and close to the scene of the play.
Rule 10 of last year was changed so
| that on a kickout after touchback or
a safety, opponents may not come
within ten yards of the side having
a free kick.
In the present on-side rule, pro-
vision was inserted that line player
is permitted to carry the ball, provided
he does not leave his position in the
line, until the ball is put into play. II
was also decided that player may al
all times pass the ball to another OF
his own side who is behind him.
A new section to rule 5 states that
the player shall be considered as hav
ing opportunity to make a fair catch
if he is in such position that it would
be impossible for him to reach the 0al
before it touches the ground. To the
| same rule was added:
in case a signal for fair catch is
made by any player who has an op
portunity for fair catch, and another
player of his side who has not sig
nailed for a fair catch catches the ball
no run shall be made, and fair catcf
shall not be allowed but the ball shall
be given to the catcher's side for {
down, at the point where the catch was
made"

nature were mingled In rs side issue.
That public sentiment was still di.
vidcd and showed plainly before the
meeting had progressed many minutes
and II also showed that any effort to
establish sentiment of the voters
present for a small school house in the
west part of town or more centrally
located one, would be turned down
cold.
After much discussion Chairman

ting around hard proposition, stated
that while he was just where he was

tanned that at the price of labor and

road can show positively that 1t will
be harmed. Senator Root of Cass con-
tends that injunction is right pos
scssed by the roads and that there is
no way to prevent them from using 1t.
The railroads are evincing much i'm
terest in the important point as to
whether the commission is to be given
full power in respect to the control OF
safety appliances. According to the
plan, the commission is to have power
to order the use of appliances for the
safety of the travelling public and the
railroads shall report to the commits
sion all accidents that occur with the
cause as nearly as this may be ascer-
tanned. Then with a knowledge OF
what appliances have been used, the
commission can determine whether
they have been efficient. Such a pro-
vision has been cut out of the Illinois
law through the efforts of the roads.
The joint committees are also at
work upon bill for direct primary
law. Speaker Nettleton has placed
himself on record as being most en-
in favor of a statewide di-
rect primary election law. Represen-
tative McMullen of Gage will introduce

ing Circular Letters.
Norfolk is just now being made the
headquarters for a hard fight against
a bill that has been introduced in the
legislature at Lincoln aimed at the
travelling medicine vendors of the
State. The bill provides that it shall be
unlawful for any person, other than
registered pharmacist, to sell any sort
of medicines in Nebraska One house
which has men out with wagons selling
medicines and remedies, and which
has three men stationed in Norfolk,
has telegraphed those men urging ev-
cry effort to be directed against the
measure.
This Is the s. f. Baker house. Rep
resentatives here are T. NJ Huh, l..
| b. Musselman and Mr.. Fricke. These
men, who cover northern Nebraska
for their firm, are sending out circular
| letters to farmers in this section APP
! pealing to them to write to their SEN
ators and representatives, petitioning
against the passage of the bill. They
say that they would be glad of a law
which provided that every such ven
dor must pay 500 per year to the sec
rotary of state and register with each
county clerk when he begins work in
any county. They claim that the bill
is for the purpose of giving a monop-
oily to druggists. The bill is favored
by druggists and patent medicine hous-
es selling through drug stores.
One Of the local agents today said
that the same sort of a fight was eXpe,
rienced in Oklahoma last year, and the
bill was beaten, though it Rad a good
chance of passing at the start They
hope TO beat it here.

ANOTHER SADIE POEM

This Writer of Verse Says Lambs Are
Headstone Ornaments.
And yet another poem about Sadie
and her sheep! This one came by
mail and was signed IN. NJ" The
stances follow:
Sadie was walking on the street
With her woolly pets one day,
When she was spied by that big man
Whose name is Jimmy Hay.
Now thought Chief Hay, what shall
do?
She coming down this way
I'll order her to skip back home
And put those sheep away.
And when he came up near to her
He stopped her on the street
And said, Now, Sadie, you must git
With those COMPOUNDED sheep.
You know if | allow you here
The people will get mad,
And l may lose my little job
By order of the city's dad.
II know you dearly love those sheep,
And | hate to cause you pain,
But you will have to take them home,
SO now, do not refrain"
"Oh, Officer Hay, don't you see the
wool that grows
On their backs to make you clothes.
Oh cold, oh very cold you'd be
If | did not give it thee"
Then Sadie turned to go back home,
A lump in her throat like a log.
Il suppose the reason he treats me SC
Is because my lambs are not dogs
Dogs will fight upon the streets
And cause an awful jam,
While on many a little maidstone
Rests the quiet little lamb.
Now | hope they will let me rest
| have put my lambs away.
All this trouble was brought about
BY big Policeman Jimmy Hay"

PRESIDENT misunderstood.
He is Not Attacking Railroads and See
Harm of Agitation.

wa w W FNS'tot'Ots
Washington, ID. c., Jan. 2S.-There
is a curiously mistaken view of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's attitude toward their
interests taken by many of the great
est railroad men and corporation man
ayers in the country. They have per-
suaded themselves into the belief that
because the president has initiated a
series of prosecutions against trusts
which were defying the law he him
self personally is opposed to all cor
porations.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth, and yet it is the most difficult
thing in the world for the men of mil
lions who are responsible for the
trusts to understand that the president
and those who are behind him are OPP
posed only to the bad corporations and
those which violate the law and which
are opposed to the interests of the
people.
Recently efforts have been made di-
rectly in behalf of some of the repre-
sentatives of great financial interests
to induce the president to send a spe-
cial message to congress explaining
his attitude He will not do that as
matter of course
He has never at anv time attacked
