committee and urged the passage Of
the appropriation bill. and the COM
mittee promised assistance. The COM
mlttee then went before Secretary

NEBRASKA PROSECUTES
EXPRESS COMPANIES
TO THE END
No ClemenCy Will Be Shown
Because None Is Merited.
Says Attorney General.
ENFORCE REDUCTION
OF EXPRESS RATES

Lincoln, March 24.-In letter to
Attorney r. w. Breckenridge of
Omaha, Attorney General Thompson
declares he will never dismiss the
cases against the express companies
doing business in Nebraska. The de-
claratlon was in answer to a sugges-
tion from the attorney that the liti-
cation be ended.
Il know of no conduct on the part
of these express companies that mer-
its the clemency you suggest. They
have shown no disposition to comply
with the law. On the contrary they
have manifested a reckless disregard
for the law and have defied US at
nearly every instance" declares the
attorney general. "Their attitude has
always been exasperating and repre-
hensible."
Suits have been started in the su-
preme court to enforce the Sibley
act reducing express rates 25 per
cent. Complaints have also been filed
in county courts alleging that the
express companies have failed to state
the salaries of their officials in their
annual reports.
