Special to the Herald.
Rockville, Md, Jan. 12.-The case
of Nicholas Offutt, charged with the
murder of Frank Kretzemer, was call
ed for trial today in the circuit court.
Both the accused young man and his
alleged victim were well known in
this vicinity and as a result the trial
will be followed with considerable in
terest. The killing of Kretzemer, who
was a store-keeper, resulted from a
children's prank. Several girls, among
them the young sister of Offutt, en-
tered Kretzemer's store, to play a
prank on the store-keeper. The lat
ter is said to have playfully resented
the intrusion of the girls and one of
them told Offutt that Kretzemer had
insulted his sister The young man
fastened to the scene and without
warning shot. and killed Kretzemer.
The young man fled to New York, but
was captured few days later and
returned for trial.

NEED CONSULT NOBODY
Attorney General Can File His Suit
Against international Without
Consulting Commissioners.

Austin, Texas, Jan 11.-Railroad
Commissioner Colquitt is still OPP
posed to having the attorney general
institute proceedings to forfeit the
charter of the International & Great
Northern railroad, he having address
ed a letter to the attorney general to
that effect, being the same in effect
as his notation some time ago when
Chairman Mayfield made the motion.
and in which objection Mr.. Colquitt
said he was very well pleased with
the present receiver, T. J. Freeman.
All of Mr.. Celquitt's Endorsements on
the Mayfield motion were printed at
that time. In his latest objection Mr..
Mayfield says he cannot find author
ity for such action by a majority of
the commission, as the records do
not disclose that any two commits
sioners have voted for such action.
The attorney general was advised
that Mr.. Mayfield's position depended
on no other commissioner. The chief
law officer then wrote Mr.. Mayfield
and said if the matters outlined in
Mr.. Mayfeld's letter could be proven
such suit should be brought. Mr..
Mayfield is to furnish the data. The
attorney general is empowered to
bring suits whenever he pleases
against the International & Great
Northern or any other road, and does
not have to secure Mr.. Colquitts' con-
sent or that of the Railroad Commits
sion. When the conditions justify it,
in the opinion of the attorney general,
he can bring any suit he sees fit.
Because of this status Mr.. Colquitts
latest point that no two members of
the commission joined in the petition
for suit is immaterial. When Chair
man Mayfield furnishes his informa-
ton to the attorney general the lat
ter can institute the suit and has writ
ten Mr. Mayfeld that he would do so
if the facts warranted action or were
strong enough for judgment.
The International & Great Northern
standing with the Railroad Commits
sion is the same as it was from the
day it went into the hands of re-
ceiver There has been nothing to |
change it. Should Mr.. Mayfield sup
ply convincing data to the attorney
general the first change will probably |
occur-in the filing of the suit.

LAWMAKERS OF KANSAS

Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald
Topeka, Kas., Jan 12-The Kansas
Legislature which convened today will
be called upon to deal with some i'm
portant questions, though it is not,seX-
pected that so many measures of radi-
cal reform will be enacted as was the
case at the session two years ago.
After completing its organiza ton the
Legislature will proceed to the election
of United States senator to succeed
Chester l. Long, whose term will ex-
pire with the end of the present con-
gress. The choice of his successor
will be purely a perfunctory proceed
ing, as the general primary held last
summer insures the election of Joseph
l.. Bristow, formerly assistant post
master general of the United States.
One of the foremost matters to re-
ceive the attention of the lawmakers
is the question of state bank de-
post guaranty law. AS both parties
are pledged to enact such law,7it is
certain that the measure will pass in
some form or another Proposed
amendments to the tax laws form an
other important subject to be dealt
with To make prohibition as nearly
absolute throughout the state as pos
sible a measure will be introduced to
abolish the selling of liquor on trains.

MOVING A GREAT RIVER.
Nebraska Stream Is to Be Carried
100 Miles Overland.

To bring the greatest river in Ne
braska 100 miles overland, crossing
other rivers and streams en- route, at
a cost of 81, O0O, 900, is the plan Tor
which construction contracts nave al
ready been signed. The object OF the
great work is the development OIL
force to the extent of 100000 morse
power for the use of the great pack
ing houses and -four mills OF Omaha.
All plans have been made, the scheme
financed and contracts let.
The stream which is to be carried
overland is the Loup, the river nav
ing the largest flow of water IN Ne
braska. and, according to the United
States Geological Survey, the stream
having the most uniform flow OF wa
ter in all the world, drouths or floods
seeming never to influence it. The
Platte river, commonly known as the
largest in Nebraska, has not the
strong flow Of water possessed by the
Loup. Practically the entire Loup
river will be diverted from its present
bed and conducted across the country
on an entirely different level from the
one given the river by nature. In It's
new course the Loup will cross the
Elkhorn river, the fourth largest
stream in the State, on a great con
crete bridge high up in the air. The
| same course will be pursued in cross
ing smaller stream and depresslons
too large to fill.
The big plan which has just been
financed and made public contem-
plates diverting the Loup from its
present course, at Genoa, Neb. Here
the stream flows eastward, but the
new river will be conducted north
ward, II miles, to a vast natural reser-
voir, seven miles long, at he lower
end of which a dam, 120 feet high,
will be constructed. From the top Of

We have reached the end or our-Vis-
gin wheat land and our yields are
%snrInK1ng while our population Is in
creasing. That Is where conservation
touches US practically; but we need
not worry. Nature is going to take care
Of things. Necessity will punish us
and remedy matters in her own stern
way II We do not mend our methods.
When wheat does not average SO much
an acre tits not worth raising. Now
consider q moment where this trend
of things is landing u.s.. Do you know
how long 1t took England to mend her
sau1ethods-to raise her averages from
twelve and fifteen to twenty-five and
thirty and forty bushels an acre? 1t
took her almost fifty years. In fifty
years what population will we have
to Feed? And we have not even be-
gun to mend our methods. 1t is the
supremely big question of the day.
Shall we act now n q ourselves

ssity compels us--and then act? Com
pare agricultural interests to any
other national interests to-day! What
were the total returns from the farms
of the United States last year? Seven
billion dollars! Compare that to the
returns from the forests-S1,25 ESQ, 900;
and our farm averages are not a third
of what they ought to be, of what they
could be made by simple rational
methods. Other countries nave trebled
and quadrupled their yield. So could
