KAWVlLLE SCHEME BLOCKED
Kansas City Grain Dealers Try to
Corner Freight Rates.
MEET SOME POTENT OPPOSITION
Omaha Men Are Before Interstate
Commission to Show
that Missouri Town Asks
Too Much.

Efforts Of Kansas City grain dealers to
acquire by unjust freight rates all the
South Platte territory met with a stubborn
resistance Friday at the hearing before the
Interstate Commerce commission in Kansas
City. The Omaha Grain exchange was repre-
sented before Commissioned +. e. Clark
and Special Examiner Lamb by Myron l..
Learned, counsel for the Omaha exchange,
Vice President f. s.. Cowgirl and e, j.
McVann. secretary Of the exchange.
Their testimony showed i%ndisputably that
there is even now an unfair differential
of cent per 100 pounds in favor of Kan
sas City on points equidistant from
Omaha and Kansas City between Rock
Island and Burlington lines in the territory
indicated. Kansas City asks the commits
sion so to change the tariffs that there
will be installed what will amount to a
differential OF 3h cents in favor of their
market
The proposition is so amazingly barefaced
that there Is said to be little likelihood

Miss Emma Goldman. queen Of anarchists,
in an interview at Hotel Loyal, Saturday
morning. While we anarchists do not be-

Although professedly not a believer in
government. the strong arm OF the law Is
to be invoked by Miss Goldman against
those responsible for the cancellation of her
contract at the Lyric theater. She was
billed to lecture there during her stay In
Omaha, but the lessee was forced by the
owner OF the theater TO quash the contract.
Miss Goldman announces that she will bring
suit for damages.
Her visit to Omaha, so she explained,
"is to set. forth what anarchism really
means and TO let people see that l do

dagger in the other. i am in thorough

FORD INJUNCTION KILLED
Restraining Order in Paving Case
Dissolved by Estelle.
JUDGE DENoUNCES THE WINNERS
Condemns Method Of Letting Work
to High Bidder at Figures Sub
mIttsd by the Low
Man.

Judge Estelle yesterday afternoon dis
solved the restraining order secured by
Michael Ford to prevent the Katz Craig
Construction company and f. ID. Van
Court from paving Military road and the
lower ~Irvington road under contracts let
last month by the county board.
Ford was the low bidder, but the board
declared he could not do the work within
the time limit and let Van Court and the
Katz-Craig mpan have the contracts
at Ford's figures. Ford tried to re-
strain the work, charging the letting or
the contracts was illegal.
Judge Estelle denounced the practice Of
letting contracts to a high bidder at the
figures of a low bidder. but at the same
time refused to keep the restraining or
der in force. He said Ford had stood
by over a week and allowed the two con-
tractors to begin work and go to con-
siderable expense before interfering. BY
doing this, Judge Estelle declared, he lost
his light to an injunction. II he had
asked an injunction at once Judge Estelle
said he would have granted II. Work on
the two roads has been tied up over a
week by the suits.
Charges that there are two paving
rings" in control of Douglas county were
made at the hearing OF the suit before
Judge Estelle Saturday morning.

Western Passenger Association Dele
gates Mcleod to Confer with
Other Divisions and Make
Agreement IL Possible.

Railroads OF the west which were forced
by the LEGISLATURES OF the western states
to accept a reduction Of ? cents per mile
for passenger fares are again uniting to
make 2 cents the minimum as well as the
maximum after January ] When the
e7cent law was enacted railroad officials
declared they would not make a reduced
rate OF any kind, but would insist on hav-
ing 2 cents a mile from every man and
woman who Travelled: They stuck to that
proposition for a year and a half and then,
as some roads jumped over the traces and
made rates FOR fairs, others followed until
the Union Pacific went the whole route
and gave the Nebraska state fair and Ak
Sar-Ben a fare OF ! cent a mile,
The REACTION has set in and now the roads
are again trying TO come TO an agreement
to give no reduced rates. No exact agree
ment was. reached at a - meeting held in
Chicago. Thursday. but +. f Mcleod

also be made for large conventions of a
national character.
A vote has been taken on giving reduced
rates to the National Corn exposition which
meets in Omaha next month. The result
of this vote has not been annohced. it being
given out that the vote is not completed.
Omaha has the assurance. however, of rates
to the big corn show whether the roads
take united action or not, Most of the
roads In the corn belt have promised the
officers of the exposition that rates will be
given and two of the roads, the Milwaukee,
and the Illinois Central, have announced
that II cents a mile will be their rate to the
exposition.

enue and Prestige.
Few people realize the splendid time made
by the mail-carrying roads of the west in
their efforts to make the schedule given
them by Uncle Sam. The mail contract is
quite a prize. as It gives the road holding
that contract a prestige in addition to a
considerable revenue To handle one Of
these fast mail trains across the country
requires more than simply running the
trains fast. 1t requires years of practice
in building up a system of competent men
who can make the changes required in the

Delay In Receipt OF Material Makes
This Necessary.

THIS necessary
Delay in the receipt of material is caus-
ing the postponement of the big reception
which A. L.. Mohler, general manager Of
the Union Pacific, is to give to the people
of Omaha at the Union Pacific shops, 1t
was at first thought that the opening of the
new car shops could be held sometime in
October. A postponement was then made
until November. and now further delay is
necessary because of the delay in securing
some OF the material to complete the new

Mr.. Mohler is anxious that the people of
Omaha should see what a magnificent plant
the Union Pacific has in Omaha, and he
is especially anxious that the families OF
the men employed at the shops will attend
the opening, that they may see where the
head {. the family is employed.

increasing the price is optional with
the bakers" Mr.. Powell said, adding:
During the recent bread war, when
some of the bakers were giving forty
loaves of bread for a dollar, many of
the loaves weighed only ten ounces,
though the bakers gained customers
