RATES EAST BUT NOT WEST
Corn Exposition Fails to Secure Rates
West Of Missouri River,

SOFh hNposisIOn rams TO secure Rates
West of Missouri River.
In spite of strong pressure by the direc-
tors of the National Corn exposition and
by a committee of the most prominent
business men of Omaha, the railroads stlll
refuse to grant any requests for rates west
OF the Missouri river to the corn show.
over a month g the directors secured
a promise of ls cents a mile east of the
Missouri river from all the roads, but for
some reason or another the railroads re-
fuse to give to the corn exposition the
same rates which were granted to the
state fair and the fall festivities and all
the state fairs OF the west. The Burlington
and the Union Pacific seem to be the
roads which are holding out in this matter,
as the others say there cmfwyp BIN BIN m
as the others say they are willing to come
across IL these two roads will get into line
Local representatives Of these two roads
Lave done what they could for these rates.
but the officials at Chicago are the final
authority in such matters, and they say
nay.
Railroads centering in Omaha are pre-
pared for whatever rush comes along for
the National Corn exposition. Large num-
bers of extra cars have been sent out
along the Tires and will be used as the
occasion demands. The Union Pacific has
arranged for no special trains, because OF
the large number of regular trains which
that road has in and out of Omaha every
cay but extra coaches will be added to the
trains as needed. Present indications are
that more people will come from the east
OF Omaha than from the west. The east
ern farmers realize more the value OF in
tensive farming and Of a better grade Of
seed corn, They have been forced to study
these conditions by the higher price which
they pay for their lands and indications
are that thousands will come from Iowa
and Illinois and Indiana and other middle
west states. The Burlington has arranged

INDIAN SCHOOLS: ARE NEEDED


Commissioner Recommends Transfer
of six Reservation TO states.
WASHINGTON Dec THE report Of
the commissioners of Indian affairs. r. E.
Leupp, to the house of representatives,
naming the non-reservation 1nian shoots
which in his judgment are no longer of
value to the Indian service, was submitted
to the house today.
AS a result Of an attempt at the last
session of the congress to have the Car
Isle indian school abolished, the com
missioner Of Indian affairs was directed
to investigate upon terms 1t may
be possible TO dispose of any of the non-
reservation Indian schools which he
deemed UNNECESSARY to the genral scheme
for Indian education.
The commissioner states the result of
his investigation regarding the transfer
to the several state governments of the
Grand Junction and Fort Lewis schools,
Colorado; the school at Genoa, Neb.; at
Chilccco, Okl. at Chamberlain, 8. D.; at
Morris, Mimi, and at Carson, New.
These are the schools which he has
deemed are not necessary for the Indian
service and which. are available TO the
state for educational purposes, or for
reformatories, insane asylums, hospitals
or other public uses. The governors OF
the various states in which these schools
are located have been communicated with
by the commissioner.

EKSTROMER SWALLOWS ACID
Swedish Consul at st. Louis Dies
Brooding Over Troubles.
ROOSEVELT DENIED AUDIENCE

Cause of e. G.. Lewis and BE-
came Persona Non
GratR.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 7.-Charles A. Ekstro-
mer, Swedish v~ice-consgl in st. Louis, COM
mitted suicide by drinking prussic acid at
his home, 1874 Goodfellow avenue, today.
Mr.. Ekstromer came INTO public notice
some time ago through q controversy with
federal officials which resulted in the re-
vocation of his exequatur by President
Roosevelt. Later he was re.nstat,d in the
good graces of the administrator and re-
sumed his official duties here. Apparen ly
Ekstromer repeuted Of his act when too
late, as a card wus found on which he had
sc4awled:
81 have taken prussic acid for the pur-
pose of suicide. Call DR.. Llngan."
The physician, a neighbor, could not aid
him. Ekstromer is survived by a widow.
Mrs. Ekstromer can ass gn no reason for
the suicide. The other memyers OF his
family. two vste-p-daughters. are also at a
loss to account for his action. M. Elk
stromer was 81 years cd and seemingly in
perfect health. As Swed sh vi -consul and
as manager OF the West Dlsinf ct mt COM
pany, 1871 Olive street. his social and BUSH
ness connections we're OF the best. So far
as can be learned he had no financial
troubles.
1t was his championlng Of the cause Of
e. G. Lewis, publisher and organ ger Of he
Peoples United states bank, that brought
down the wrath of the president on Elk
strome,.
In arch, 1907, Ekstroner went TO Wash
ington at the head of a commit ee Of Lewis
adhe. ents and asked for an audi nee with
the president. They wished to tell Rose
welt that in their opinion the second class
mail privileges were be. ng wrongfully with
held from Lewis publications. The presi-
dent refused to see them.
On his return to st. Louis Ekstromer
wrote a letter 20 the president in witch he
denounced Postmaster General Cortel. GU,
accusing hin Of unfairness. He also called
the presidents refusal to see the st. Louis
committee "un-American and unjust"
This brought forth a st 4tement from the
W hite House that Ekstromer's ct e. was
"impertiuent, uncalled for and dis ourteJus"
and that the statements contained in it
were untrue
P esdent Roosevelt notified the minister
from Sweden that Ekstromer was persona
non grata' and forthwith Ekstromer's exc
quatur as vice-consul was rev ked.
At the earnest solicitation OF the Swedish
minister Ekstromer later wrote n apology
to the pres dent and in July, 1907, Eks rom r
was reinstated as vice-eonsul. He has held
the post on ever since.
