WOULD CONFER ON RATES.
Chicago Shippers Want to Arbitrate
With Officials.

Chicago. Nov. 12.-Following the
announcement that new transcon-
unental freight tariff had been filed
with the interstate commerce COM
mission last Saturday showing in
creases in rates on many commodities
to take effect on January 1 between
points east of Chicago and the Pacific
coast, Chicago shippers are becoming
apprehensive that the eastern rail-
roads are about to put into effect at
an early date the much talked of in
creases in official classification terri
tory between Chicago and New York.
This was the subject of much agita-
ton during the first part of the sum-
mer, but was postponed until after
the election.
The committee of eighteen repre-
senting shippers organizations from
all parts of the country, which was ap-
pointed at the big meeting of the ship
pers held in Chicago on May Is, under
the auspices of the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association to protest against
the rate advances, is planning to take
decisive action at once. Fred w. Up
ham, chairman of the committee, will
write to the New York Central and
Pennsylvania, whose officers were
most active in promulgatings the doc
trine of raising rates, asking what the
roads propose to do and requesting
conference before any rate changes

This will not come yet. while. 1t

If President Ripley delays occupying
his located line he will find it occupied
by some other company, for neither
charter nor location holds in Texas
nothing holds but actual construction.

A DISASTROUS EXPERIMENT
state Operation Fails in Belgium and
Switzerland.

Brussels Nov. 12.-In Belgium. as in
Switzerland the exploitation of rail-
roads by the state is proving rather
disastrous experiment. The deficit on
last years working was estimated be-
tween $500, 900 and $1,000,000, but it now
appears that it will exceed $2,O0O,OOO.
The situation is so bad that the admin
istration, which had already decided on
raising the price of the fortnightly and
monthly passes so we'll known to tour
lists is now considering the question of
a big, all-round increase in passenger
and freight rates.
The unfavorable results of the state
ownership of railroads in Switzerland
promises to be a leading issue in the
coming electoral campaign. The con-
federation has $24,000,O0O invested in
railways, having issued that amount of
interest bearing bonds. Although the
receipts of the state operated roads
have steadily increased from 1902 to
1907. the cost of operation has in
creased more rapidly still, and the CO.
efficient of railroad operating expenses
is now the largest in Europe. The de-
felt this year will be between $1,000, 900
and s1,1O0,OO0 The naturalization of
the roads, therefore. this year costs the
taxpayers the deficit for operation in
addition to the interest on the state
caDital invested.

Construction to Start on Nebraska
Kansas & Southern.

Garden City, Kan. Nov. IA. F.
McCarty. right of way man for the
Nebraska, Kansas & Southern railroad,
has returned from Kansas City where
he has been sick for several weeks and
stated that work will begin on the road
on November 16.. Mr.. McCarty imme-
diately qualified this statement by say
ing that delay of day or two might
follow, on account of securing teams
and men, getting contracting outfits
here. etc, but that this date had been
agreed upon as nearly as possible.
Mr.. Durham will be here in about
a week He is in ST. Louis today con-
ferring with Baxter Brown, the en-
gineer. Mr.. Brown and the New York
capitalists interested are expected
about November 25, it is stated.
The construction company will build
the first mile of grade out of town, and
then, from there on, subcontractors
will be given the work.
Mr.. McCarty talked in the most
confident way and said he was glad
the time was so near for commence
ment of actual work.
Eighteen days in Kansas Citv hos
pital fighting typhoid fever and a con-
valescence since that time, have taken
a little flesh off the railroad man, but
he is strong enough for plenty of good
work from now on, he says.

OFFICIALS ARE SELECTED
For the K. U.-NebrasIza Game at Lin
coin Saturday.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 12.-Oficials for
the Kansas-Nebraska football game to
be played here next Saturday have
been chosen as follows:
Ralph Hoagland, ex-Prlnceton,
referee; ]. G. Masker, Kansas City
Athletic club, umpire; Jesse Harper,
ex-Chicago, field judge; Fred d. Cor
nell. ex-Indian, head linesman. On
behalf of Nebraska, Manager Eager
announces that the selections were
made with less negotiation than for
any game the Cornhuskers have play
ed this year.
Cole has been apprised that Kansas
has a rafting good football team this
year and is convinced that every Corn
husker performer must be at the guns
or Nebraska's dreams of a Missouri
valley championship will come down
with thud. The respect of the Ne
braska coach for the Jayhawkers has
been heightened by the report made
in person by ex-Captain Borg, who
was a witness to the thorough drub-
bling administered to Washburn last
Saturday. in Lawrence by the Jay
hawker bunch. Borg brought back
the information that the Jayhawkers
are nearly equal to the Cornhuskers ir.
beef and that they ripped through
Washburn for a total of four touch
hitting the line. Borg has told Cole
that the Kansans were not compelled
to call any of their forward passes or
trick plays into action and that
Washburn, which is rated as one of the
strongest college teams in Kansas, was
the easiest sort of picking for the
pupils of Kennedy.
Borg's report would not occasion
serious worry at Nebraska but for the
fact that the Cornhuskers, after
emerging from two muscle-b ruising
battles with Iowa university and the
Ames Aggies. are in their poorest phys
ical condition of the season. In short
the hospital situation is causing Cole
and his advisers no end of alarm As
a result the practice at Nebraska this
week is so light and the afternoon ses-
sions so brief as to amount almost to
no practice at all. Beginning with
Monday, Cole allowed only four of his
regular players to put on their suits.
The next days roll call found six
varsity performers missing from the
field. There has been no scrimmaging
and nothing along that line will be
permitted until Thursday afternoon
The Friday programme is to be a light
practice affair, and it follows that the
Cornhuskers must go against Kansas
with but fifteen minutes scrimmage
pra ctice during the week of prepara-
ton for the game.
Nebraska supporters, however, are
not gravely disturbed and are still
sanguine that the Jayhawkers will be
defeated.

STATE FINDS A MOTIV:.
Will Try to Prove That Jealousy
Caused Murder of Mrs. Guinness.

Laporte, Ind, Nov. 12.-For the pur-
pose of rendering every assistance pos
sible to the authorities in their efforts
to unraVel the great Guinness mystery,
A. K. Helgelein brother of Andrew
HelgeIein, the last known victim Of
Mrs. Guinness, has arrived in Laporte
from Aberdeen, S. D. He will be one
of the main witnesses for the state, for
through him Prosecutor Smith will in :
troduce a number of letters received by
him from Mrs. Guinness during the time
that Mr.. Helgelein was endeavoring to
find some trace of his brother Mrs.
Guinness claimed the brother after Wis
iting her had gone to Norway on d
trip. At the time she wrote his dis
membered body lay in her private
cemetery where she had buried it after
securing the three thousand dollars
which he had drawn from his Aberdeen
bank through a Laporte bank.
These letters were all written in
Norwegian for Mrs. Guinness could not
write English, and in them are many

references to Lamphere of his threats
against her and her children and of
Lamphere's jealousy because Andrew
Helgelein had been a guest at her
home. She refers to Lamphere as
that crazy Lamphere'' and that jeal-
Gus Lamphere." 1t is considered by the
state that in the letters of Mrs. Gun
ness to A. K. Helgelein it has evidence
of the strongest possible moment to
support the theory that Lamphere,
jealous of his attentions and angered
because he thought he had been sup
planted in the affections of the widow,
assisted the widow in putting Hedge
lein out of the way and that afterward
he became revenged upon her by set
ting fire to her house.
In offering evidence, Prosecutor
Smith announced that his programme
was to place first on the stand c. S.
Mack and to follow him with DR.. S. T.
Wilcox, DR.. J. L. Gray, DR.. J. H. Will
liam Meyer, and DR.. H H. Long.
Through Coroner Mack and the physi-
clans, facts learned at the inquest will
be brought out.
