Further Time in the SpO-
kane Case

sion Hears Arguments on
Switching Fee Matter

An unnamed clerk in the Office of the
Southern Pacific was made TO shoulder
the burden Yesterday for bowling over
the plans of the interstate commerce
commission. The commission made, the
trip 10 the Pacific coast primarily to
hear what is known as the Spokane
rate case. All The northern cities have
presented their contentious before the
full board. but San Francisco, perforce.
must forego her pleadlngs for the pres
ent because of that convenient clerk in
the Flood building.
The forgetful clerk is the special
property Of c. w. Durbrow. and Dur
brow is assistant TO Peter f. Dunno,
who in turn is counsel for the Southern
Pacific company. The clerk, so Durbrow
says. neglected to tell him that the San
Francisco shippers had served their
complaint upon him. and although the
press OF the city has heralded the fact
for a year Durbrow. of course, had no
means of knowing that the complaint
was forthcoming.
LEFT on TAIL END
The san Francisco shippers viii there
fore come in on the tail end of this
portaut traffic issue the city has faced.
Durbrow says he found it impossible to
frame his reply in time, so the COM
mission has ruled that San Francisco's
evidence must be submitted TO a special
examiner.
With six members of the Interstate
board in attendance, yesterdays ses-
sion, held in the postoffice building,

ing case Heretofore the hearings in
San Francisco have been conducted be-
fore a single commissioner or an eX-
aminer. There were present yesterday

protest lodged by the jobbers and man.
ufactUrers of San Francisco and Los
Angeles against the switching fee of

DISPUTE AS TO WHO SHALL
BE FATHERS ADMINISTRATOR
Son Tries to Force His Appointment,
While Daughter Is Named
I'm the VIII.

Attorneys were in county court Friday
seeking to nave quashed the appointment
of John Morris Wilson as administrator OF
his fathers estate. 1t was desired by them
that this take place before a meeting OF
the Wilson Steam Boiler company Satur.
day in order that a complication OF an un'
usual kind might be solved.
John Wilson, the elder, left a will ap-
pointing his daughter, Anna Wilson, ex-
ecutrix. Before his death he had for q
time placed the son, John Morris Wilson
in charge of the boiler works and later
removed him
Miss Wilson, who lives in California and
who has on her side the other brothers and
sisters, came to Omaha some time ago and
at a meeting of the stockholders had her
self elected president of the company. Thu
opposing brother then sought an injunction
in district court to prevent her taking the
presidency and from voting the stock OF
the company as executrix of the estate,
Judge Redick after some time denied the
petition for an injunction. Wilson mean
while went into county court and was ap-
pointed administrator. AS such he pro-
poses to vote the stock at the Saturday
meeting.
The other side says his action would not
be legal even il County Judge Leslie re.
fuses to quash his appointment.

New Wheat Crop
Already Has Its
eight on Options
Cash Market Remains Up and Local
Dealers Believe Estimate for
Yield Too High.

Already the new and growing wheat
crop is having an influence on July wheat
options, buL the cash market is remaining
up and Omaha grain dealers believe the
government reports just received place the
estimate for the coming crop too high
say 5000, 900 bushels more than will be
grown in the United States and that would
make a lot Of bread.
According to the government crop report
on the conditions of the crop June /, the
country will produce 4Ol, S42, 900 bushels of
wheat. The most ~sanguine reports received
by grain dealers say 375, 600, 900, and one
puts 1t as low as 800, OOO, 900 bushels.
At $685. OO, 900 bushels the government re-
port on spring wheat is said by the grain
dealers to be at least 81, 900, 900 bushels too
high.
II the government prediction is right the
country will nave 7O4, 1893, 900 bushels OF
wheat and prices may be expected to go
down.
If the grain dealers are right the country
will have 500, 900, 900 bushels and the price
Of wheat may be expected to stay above
normal.
The government report would give the
country 40 1000 900 bushels more than last
year-the grain dealers would take S5, 900. Oo
bushels away.
The option quotations are a "straddllng''
proposition at present, based as they are
on two crops. But the cash prices are be-
ing maintained on the Omaha Grain ex-
change, as they involve only the old crop,
and wheat has been we'll cleaned up in
Nebraska.

ST. JOHN BECOMES A MIKE
stormy Petrol of Dry Politics il
Neatly Touched by Home
Talent.

John p. st. John, former governor Of
Kansas, won the brand OF the easy mark"
when he "fell' for the game OF a conf
dence man on the Rock Island train
between Wichita and Topeka. As a result
he is $40 poorer in real perfectly good
money, and much richer in actual expert
ence.
Mr.. st. John was seated in the chair car
watching the landscape when a much per-
turbed and hatless man entered.
The hatless man dropped into a seat be-
side the governor.
II was told" he said, that I could buy
a money order on the train. Now ] find
that l cannot. / don't know what I am
going to do. I must send this money to
my sister, and I have only a big bunch of
small bills. 1t won't do to put them in an
envelope"
Governor st. John rose to the bait Just
as II he had never braved the dangers OF
such great cities as Topeka and Wichita.
II can let you have two twenties," he
said.
The offer was accepted. Mr.. st. John
produced the two twenties and the stranger
handed over a roll in return. Seeing that
he was dealing with a stranger, Mr.. st.
John carefully counted the contents Of the
roll. He found that II contained seven 81
bills and one IS bill.
You have made a mistake" he said.
There is not enough money here.
The stranger, who in the meantimesh had
placed the two twenties In an envelopes and
sealed 1t, was all apologies. ~
THAT is a joke on my WIFE" he ex-
planned. She gave me that roll and told
me that there was $40 in II. Here, you Just
hold this envelope while / go back and
get the rest of the money"
The governor put the envelope in his
pocket, and resumed his study of the land
scape. Finally he bethought him that the
stranger had never come back. Then Mr..
st. John opened the envelope It contained
only two pieces Of tissue paper.-st. Louis
