RAILROADS WANT MORE PAY
short Lines Say They DO Not Receive
Adequate Compensation for
Carrying Mails.

WASHINGTON. March SAN effort is
being made before congress to secure
just apportionment OF the compensation
now given by the government for the
transportation of United States mails by
rail. More than 800 short line" railroads
have Joined in a petition to congress for a
readjustment OF the pay for carrying
mails. These short line roads are inde-
pendent lines and most OF them reach
towns, villages and hamlets not readily
accessible by any other route. These lines
now receive $i2.b per mile per year for
carrying 200 pounds Of mail per day, and
S64.13 per mile per year when the amount
OF mail averages 800 pounds per day.
The figures snow that the larger roads
receive anywhere from two to four times
as much as the short lines for mail car
riage, and in addition they also receive
extra compensation for carrying the rail-
way postal cars. II is pointed out that the
rural free delivery service OF the govern
ment handles the malls at an expense Of
about IL cents per mile while the weight
| of the mail does not exceed an average OF
seventy-five pounds per day. The short
line mail is carried by the roads at an
average charge Of les than cents per mile.
To remedy what is believed by some to be
an injustice. Representative Talbot of
Maryland has introduced a bill amending
the postal aw so as to equalize the pay
OF the trunk lines and the short lines
| throughout the country.

ALA TRIAL AT DENVER TODAY
Belief that Defense VIII Rely Upon
q Plea of Insanity to Save
His Life.

DENVER Colo, March S.-Giuseppe ALA,
the prlst-kiIler, will be placed on trial In
the criminal branch of the district court at
10 o'clock tomorrow.
Alias conflicting statements regarding
the shooting have led many people to be-
leve he must be insane. However, four of
the most expert brain specialists in this
city have given 1t as their opinion that
Ala is perfectly sane, and this after OBJ
serving him since his return to this city
from Colorado Springs, whittier he was
taken to avoid possible mob violence Ala
had practically recovered from the fear of
summary vengeance and was in fair con-
dition to be studied by men skilled in the
detection of mental faults.
Notwithstanding public announcement
through the press of the results Of the OBJ
servations of the specialists appointed by
the district attorney, the defense has en-
gagged three alienists to be present during
the trial. They will sit in the courtroom
and observe the defendant for the purpose
of detecting any sign of insanity. Should
they be successful, no doubt the defense
will be quick to grasp that as a means OF
saving the life of Ala.
On the other hand, the prosecution has
summoned eight alienists to be present,
whose expert knowledge will be used to Off
set any claim of insanity that might be
raised by Alias attorney.

SERIOUS BREAK IN THE SLATE
Failure TO send Hanks 60 Denver
DisRrrRnges Plans of
bryan.
(From a staff Correspondent)

(From a staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, March s.-(SpeciaL)-In
falling to send II. II. Hanks of the First
district to the national democratic con-
vention as a delegate the district con-
vention of the First district has seriously
interfered with the plans of the Bryan
leaders, If not with the presidential can
didate himself Mr.. Hanks had practically
been decided upon to make speech for
Bryan in the Denver convention. He was
not to make the nominating speech, but
he was to second the nominating speech
which Il is likely will be delivered long
before the name of Nebraska is reached
on the roll prominent democrat who
is on the inside said yesterday that Hanks
was to have made a speech, but for some
reason the plans all miscsrried and he
was left at home. Some of the big lead
ers of the lost cause here are OF the
opinion that Bryan will be placed in
nomination by an easterner and all that
Nebraska will do will be to second the
nomination. That honor was to have
fallen to Hanks.
"Since the democrats have discovered
they can smash a slate. even though
Bryan himself favors it," said a demo-
a
to get the scalp of Brother-ln-Law Tom
Allen at the first opportunity. This op-
| portunity will come in September. 1t
will be a little late to change chairman,
but 1t Is likely to be done. II Metcalfe
would consent to take the chairmanship
there would hardly be a democrat in the
state line up for Allen. But Of course
Metcalfe won't hear OF such talk. At this
time the democrats are absolutely without
| an organization, and yet Allen has been
at the head of the machine for years. II
Jim Dahlman would get out of the race
for governor he could be made chairman,
| but he has the bee in the bonnet and of
course he is an impossibllty"
| That trip which Governor Sheldon and
| his staff expect to make across the country
! to San Francisco in May to deliver the
silver service to the battleship Nebraska
and to be present when the officers and
men of the Atlantic fleet are entertained
! will be the greatest trip ever made by a
bunch Of Nebraskans. The plans are now
incubating for a special train one car or
| two of which will be for the exclusive use
of the executive and his staff and the
remainder for the use OF any good look
ing Nebraskan who may care to journey
| across the country to be present on this
historical occasion 1t has not yet been
figured out what the cost will be nor what
routes will be taken going and coming
but the plans are to wake up all the coun-
try west Of here and keep the people won
dering for years to come.
