JACK ORDERED ABOARD.

Editor Advertiser: At u midnight
Jack is ordered aboard to sleep on the
hard deck instead of being allowed to
stay on shore to enjoy a soft and cozy
bed. Jack is an American citizen. Why
not give him the same chance that is
conferred on the officers of the fieet2
I am proud of Jack when he breaks his
liberty and then goes aboard to take
his punishment like man.
1t is to be hoped that Jack viii be
allowed to enjoy his hobby of staying
ashore all night when the feet arrives
in Sydney without shocking the tender
feelings of the people.

LORD BEREsFoRD QUESTIONED

Editor Advertiser: When Lord Ber-
esford was in Honolulu in 1898 or 1899,
interviewed him. Among other things
l asked him about this American con-
suiate sign incident His reply to my
questions very carefully refrained from
admitting anything in regard to it.
though not denying the import of my
questions. He laughingly said that it
all occurred great many years be-
fore, and that he was many years
younger then. He seemed to remember
the incident as an incident of youth
which in his maturere years he could
enjoy as such without any necessity
to either explain or to justify.
At that time l looked up all the cor
respondence regarding the incident in
the records of the United States con-
sulate. 1t was with this correspondence
fresh in my mind that l spoke to Lord
Charles Beresford about it,
Very respectfully.

OLD DRAY TICKETS INVALID
Eastern Railroads Have Dbl IN
Connection with Bill of
LadinR,

CHICAGO, Oct. 13-Representatives Of
eastern railroads have refused the request
Of the shippers that they be allowed to use
their old dray tickets or shipping receipts
instead of the new uniform bill of lading
and the shippers have appealed the ques-
ton to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion.
The protest of the shippers is embodied
In a letter written yesterday by ]. C. Lin
coin, president of the National Industrial
Traffic league, to COMMISSIONS E.. E.
Clark, asking whether the commission in
tended to impose such restrictions on the
shippers when it promulgated the uniform
bill.
One Of the principal objections of the
shippers to the announcement that rail-
roads would require the use OF the new
bill for all shipments after November /,
has been, not to the bill itself, but to the
requirement made in the official c~lassifI-
cation rules that all freight must be shipped
under the uniform unless 10 per cent is
added to the regular rate for carriers LA
bility, and that no dray ticket or shipping
receipt will be accepted.

GRAIN MEN FILE COMPLAINT
AIIege Union Pacific
Against Them I'm Elevation
Iowances
From a sad Correspondent.)

Ut IOIl a oAhlA
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-(Special Tele-
gram. 1.-The Interstate Commerce commis-
sion today served a. complaint against the
Union Pacific from the Merriam & Holm
ouist company, an Omaha firm engaged in
buying selling and shipping grain in, In
which they allege unlawful discrimination
against them by the defendant railroad
company.
1t appears that in July, 1906 the com
plainant was, and stiH is. the owner Of
certain grain elevators at Seventeenth and
Nicholas streets, Omaha and another ele-
vator located on Fifteenth and Henderson
streets. The complainant alleges that DUR
ing the period from July 1906 to date, it
transferred for the Union Pacific at it's
elevators in Omaha and became entitled
to receive from the defendant, an eleva-
ton allowance Of 1,O2f cars on which the
elevation allowance would be $3.50. Conn
plainant therefore puuts in a claim for
reparation in the sun of $3.50 and that the
commission prescribe such rules and regu-
lations in lieu of these heretofore exist
ing over the defendants line of railway
as will in the future prevent the c%ontinu-
ance Of illegal and unreasonable preferences
and advantages in favor Of complainant's
competitors in respect to transportation
and elevation allowance.

REBUFF TO CHARTER Thinkers
Commercial Club I'm Disgust at City
Council Dismisses Its
Committee.

The Commercial club OF Omaha is not in
accord with the city council charter revis-
ion committee, which has proposed to raise
the salaries of city officers, including the
mayor, as about the first important thing
to be done when the Legislature meets, and
has dismissed its committee which has been
attempting to assist In deciding what should
be done to the charter TO make Omaha a
better governed and cleaner city.
The executive committee OF the CONNER
cial club appointed a committee a week ago
consisting Of H. w. Yates, f. L. Halter
and E.. Z. Bruce to examine into what the
joint committee Of the city council. Conn
mercial club and Real Estate exchange pro-
posed to do with the charter II opportunity
presented. 1t was discovered that some 100
changes were contemplated, and. among
others, salaries were to be boosted as the
paramount issue"
This did not look good to the 800 men
composing the Commercial club. and, by
the following resolutions, withdrew from
any participation in the affairs of the
joint charter revision committee. The ac-
ton was taken at noon Tuesday:
Resolved, That In view OF the report made
to this by the special committee,
appointed to represent the Commercial
N1 SAA.A - ~ AlAg win
1t is deemed advisable to discharge the spe-
cial committee from further service on said
commission. Our reasons for this action
are as follows:
First, the commission was not constituted
as stated in the invitation given us by
mayor and council. This. of itself, may not
be OF much Importance. but the proceedings
OF the commission show clearly, that while
its members have been giving close and
commendable attention to the work they
have undertaken, yet neither this or any
similarly constituted commission is able
to perfect and present such a charter, as
the growing needs OF the city of Omaha
demand.
What may be by this com.
mission can only be makeshift remedies,
to which II must be admitted is only at
best a makeshift charter.
Second, The city OF Omaha needs a care
fully digested and prepared charter, fully
up to the modern demands of a metropoli-
tan city, and, which once adopted, will not
be subject to constant tinkering at every
session of the legislature.
Third, We believe the city council should
appropriate a reasonable sum, to provide
for a commission and that the members
of the commission should be selected from
the various walks of life, but should be men
who, by study, habit or training, have some
familiarity with municipal work and NUM-
cipal constitutions. .r
The commission should meet from day
to day, until its work is complete, and a
charter submitted which will be generally
satisfactory to the people OF Omaha and
thereby obtain prompt adoption by the
legislature.

Oklahoma Governor Visits kansas
City to Consult Lawyers.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Oct. 19.-Governor
Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma arrived
here this morning from Guthrie TO consult
his attorneys with reference to a suit that
he says he intends to bring against william
Randolph Hearst, charging the New York
editor with libel. The governor stated soon
after he had registered at a hotel that he
had already placed the matter in the hands
Of his attorneys and that the petition would
be filed by them whenever they saw fit.
The suit, he said probably would be brought
in the circuit court, but just when he was
unable to say. TIL case grows out of the
publicity Of the Standard OIL story, the con-
troversy over which led to Governor Haskell
resigning as treasurer of the democratic ma
tional committee.
The story in question alleged that a man
named Haskell, in connection with two
others, had made overtures to Frank 8.
Monnett, then attorney general OF Ohio, to
step a suit pending against a, Standard OH
company, the trio agreeing, 1t was alleged,
to furnish $4,000 In case proceedings were
dropped. Mr.. Hearst asserted that this

CHICAGO. Oct, Is.-While the official
snnouncement will be made next Friday
of the amount OF the campaign fund of the
democratic congressional committee, 1t
was learned today that the fund is about
$4,000. the smallest campaign fund that
the democrats nave ever had for use in a
congressional election. The congressional
committee decided to make their fund
public in order to preclude the charge
that contributions were being diverted
from the democratic national committee
to the congressional committee in order
to conceal amounts contributed and their
source. Only sums above 800 will be
made public.
Congressman James Lloyd, chairman of
the congressional committee, left early
today for Missouri and will return here
Wednesday. Mr.. Lloyd declared that he
was confident that the next house of rep
r~esentatives would be democratic and that
even in the event of Mr.. Bryan's defeat
there were sufficient republican districts
In Ohio, and Indiana that would return
democratic congressman to make the
house safe for democracy.
National Chairman Mack. announced to-
day that Me. Bryan would make, nine
speeches in New York City on his visit
there on October 26. Mr.. Bryan will speak
four times in Chicago on October 10.
NEW YORK, Oct. ~13,-Tammany hall
will contribute $4,000 to the democratic

nouncement made today by Charles f.
Murphy, the Tammany leader. In addi-
tion, the local organization will ply all
the expenses OF the big mass meeting
in Madison Square garden on October 26
at which Mr.. Bryan Is to speak. This
will probably amount to $1,000 more.
