Down the Request.

Ports. a little town IN Osborne county
on the Central Branch of the Missouri
Pacific, will have to get along without a
telegraph operator, according to the de-
cision of the state board of railroad COM
missioners.
The Missouri Pacific took the telegraph
operator away from Ports some months
ago when it was retrenching in its ex-
penSes. Ports filed a kick about it with
the railroad commission. Commissioner
Frank Ryan went out to Ports to investi-
gate. and found the condition to be this:
The Missouri Pacific has put in long

offers to keep track of the time for the
arrival of trains by means of the tele-

objects to keeping telegraph operator
at Ports because the business does not
justify it. The railroad commission after
hearing Mr.. Ryan's report. decided to al
low the long distance telephone arrange
ment to continue. and not to order the
company to reinstate its operator.

Police Still Investigating the Shoot

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. lin
the effort to establish more clearly
the motive of Horris Haas, who shot
and seriously wounded Prosecutor
Heney last Friday, the police have re-
newed their examination of Mrs.
Miriam Cohn, the neighbor to whom
Haas confided his intention of kill
ing. the officer who had exposed his
criminal record. Mrs. Cohn stated
that Haas had several times threat
ened suicide and announced that he
would take another life when he
killed himself. On one occasion he
declared, she said, that he was going
to kill his wife and their four chill
dren. Asked whether Haas ever said
that anybody was encouraging or ad-
vising him to kill Mr.. Heney, Mrs
Cohn replied:
mo, not in the least. He said in
an off-hand manner, however: I meet
people and they say they are sorry
for me and they feel that he ought
to be liked and all that. They don't
say it in plain words but actions
speak palmer than words. They
mean if they were me they would
take the law in their own hands, -
Today the coroner will arrange
demonstration to determine whether
the derringer with which Haas COM
mitted suicide in the cell at the
county Jail could have been hidden in
his shoe, as the police affirm.
Early today Mr.. Heney was resting
easy. During the night he slumbered
soundly, and his pulse, respiration
Up to this time, no symptoms re-
garded as indicative of blood poison
