Violation of the Law.
The complaints allege violation of
section four of the interstate commerce
act which forbids the charging Of a
rate for short haul, which shall be
higher in the aggregate than for a
longer haul under similar circumstan-
ces and conditions, and also the re-
quirement that the shipper on the
longer haul shlll not pay a higher rate

bonds but also in registered school dis
trict bonds. 1t does not stop here but
also provides that the funds shall be
invested in any securities that the leg
islature may by statute designate.
An effort has long been made
to change the constitution SO as
to permit the investment of state
funds in school district bonds. An
amendment for that purpose was
once defeated at the polls, not receiv-
ing the necessary majority of all votes
cast at the election. The matter Of per-
mitting the legislature to designate
what securities shall be bought is dis
puted, some contending that such
change in the constitution would be
opening the way to unsound invest
ments.
Anti-Liauor Bills.
The senate committee on judiciary
not only recommended two bills
directed against the liquor traffic yes
terday, but iii each instance the COM
mittee added amendments intended to
make the bills more stringent. The
bills are S. 2 Nos. and z, by Root of
Cass One provides that packages of
liquor shipped shall be branded in
large plain letters Intoxicating
liquors The other provides that the
place of manual delivery and collec-
ton for intoxicating liquors shall be
deemed the place of sale. The latter
was amended to provide that any
agent or salesman taking orders in
city or town where no saloon licenses
have been issued shall be deemed max
ing a sale This was further changed
to include parts of county outside
OF cities and towns. 1t had been re-
ported that a public hearing on these
postponed to permit some people from
bills would be held and it was once
Omaha to be heard. Yesterday. the
time advertised, no one appeared be-
fore the committee either for or
against the bills. The committee spent
considerable time over the bills. The
question of interstate commerce was
raised and 1t was admitted that the

NEARLY LOST HIS LIFE
Rescued Near Meriden Depot By
 Attorney .PheIan and ". Clark

Patrick Kelly, old and infirm, came near ending his life last night. But for the timely arrival of Attor- ney Hinton J. Phelan the old mans ed.
 The attorney was going to his home on Dublin street. and when crossing the bridge near the Meriden depot he thought he heard cries for help. He listened and through the stiffness of the night came the sound of voice calling Help! Help!" The voice was not very strong either and 1t seemed to have come from the eastern side of the bridge. The banks of the river at that place are very steep on one side and the lawyer was careful to locate the voice before he left the bridge. The echo seemed to become fainter and fainter, indi- eating to the lawyer that assistance was urgently needed. He thereupon ran into the depot, told the night man. Wayne Clark, that some one was drowning in the ditch and assist ance was immediately necessary. To- gether they went to the ditch and with the light of a lantern saw a man up to his neck in the water and his hands upraised. He seemed to be gradually sinking. He was not very far from the bank and 1t was not difficult to pull him in, but it was quite evident that in few mo- ments more the water would have closed over him.
 The police patrol was sent for and the man was taken to the station house, where he was put to bed and his clothes placed before the furnace to dry.
 This morning in court he could give no explanation of how he got into the water, so 1t is surmised that he lost his way. He was discharged from court.

THEY WERE FINED $25
Attorney Russell and Ex-Senalor
 Hall Caught By Ordinance.

Attorney James E. Russell and for mer Senator Warren L. Hall have of fered themselves up on the altar of finance as victims of the building ordinance and thereby saved George Tracy of the Tracy Bros. John J. Ma cauley and Abraham Cabanna, all contractors. The demurrer which Attorney Russell filed yesterday in the cases against himself and Caban- ma, who was employed by him to shingle roof on house within five feet of another frame building, was overruled this morning by Judge Peasley. Attorney Russell contend ed that both the contractor and the property owner could not be found guilty of the offence. Attorney Meigs held that both were guilty, but sen tence could be suspended in the cases of the contractors and the property owners could be punished because 1t was at their instance the builders broke the building laws.
 The court said there might be an excuse for the contractor. but none for the property owner, as he knew the dividing property lines. Attor- ney Russell thereupon asked for the benefit of the doubt for his client, Cabanna, who was accordingly dis charged. Mir Hall. represented by MT Russell. asked for the same bene- fit in the cases of the other contrac- tors and they also were dismissed and a fine of $25 and costs was inn posed on MT Russell and Mir Hall. An apheal under bail of $100 was taken to the superior court.
 Morris Tafel and Isadore Shapiro were then charged with violating the ordinances by not taking out a permit before beginning build- ing operations on Dikeman street. It was shown by the evidence of the complaining witness, A. I. Chatfield, the building inspector, that while the accused did violate the law they fol- lowed the custom of the office of the inspector by depending upon the sub- contractor to take out the permit. Attorney Rogers, counsel for the ac- cused, contended that if anyone was guilty it was Frank G. Bryan whom he represented yesterday and who was discharged on the supposition that 1t was Tafel and Shapiro were the guilty parties. Thus Attorney Rogers stand to-day contradicted that of yesterday and the court re- minded him that he was in a very |unenviable position. However, the accused were dischargd.
 Mary Fitzgerald was committed to Brookside for thirty days for intoxi- cation. William Horner was sent down the road for the same period for the same offence.
 Pelligies Mastrantuni and Paul Su- mi were charged with breach of the peace. Tony verastro testified that Pelligies threatened yesterday that he would kill him bfore nightfall and Pelligies went about the streets cry ing because his three children would be orphans. It seemed that Pelligies did not care so very much about be- ing killed, or the manner in which he would leave the world. but he did care for the children. Near the cor ner of South Main and Scovill streets he ran across Mastrantuni and Paul Suma punched him. A photograph figured in the case. It was torn, but nobody could make out how 1t came to be so.
 Both were fined $15 and costs and an appeal was taken.

HOSPITAL BAZAAR.
Societies Will Each Have a Night to
 Entertain for Charity.

The entertainment committee of St Mary's hospital bazaar held an en- thusiastic meeting last night and out lined plans for the big fair. which will be held next April Each of the following societies will furnish the stage program on different evenings: Knights of Columbus, Daughters of Isabella, A. o. H., Ladies auxiliary, Talma club, Notre Dame and Alumnae, St Mary's school, St Thom- ass school, Sacred Heart school, St Anne's school. The Talmas have al- ready gone into training for the af- fair and expect to make a hit. The same thing Is true of the others and some of them claim that If they can't beat the Talmas they will keep of the stage for the future and content themselves in the audience. And so the friendly rivalry goes on not only with reference to the stage pro- gram but all along the line, including selling of tickets.
