JUDGES FROWN UPON STORM
Wind In Contempt of Court, BILL
boards Being Thrown Down
Contrary to Injunction.

Will the storm of Thursday night be In
contempt of court? This is n question
which is bothering the city officials and
members OF the city council. The ques-
ton arises from the destruction Of numer~
Gus bill boards, too numerous to mention, 3"
as orthodox auction bills always say.
The council several months ago adopted
a bill board ordinance providing that all
boardings should be of more stable con-
struction, placed at a greater distance from
the walks, and made a source of revenue
to the city. BY this provision the building
inspector was empowered to condemn all
boards not up to the new standard, The
owners Of the bill boards then went to
court and secured an injunction restrain
ing the city from putting the new OF ordinance
into effect and from tearing down the
boards.
The city bowed to the order of the court
and allowed the boards to stand, but the
winds of Thursday night were more indie
pendent and violated the injunction right
and left. Bill boards In ali sections of the
city were demolished, and Leavenworth
street is lined with the Frustrated signs,
many of which arc across the sidewalk.
In the language of a Judge of the early
days, there is one decision that the courts
won't reverse said one of the assistant
city attorneys. This judge was invariably
reversed on all cases appealed to the SUI
preme court. Among these cases were sew
eral murder trials, the defendants In all of
which the judge sentenced TO be hung
One day he declared two men guilty OF
murder and the defendants attorneys gave
notice of appeal TO the supreme court.
That night, however, the murderers were
taken out of the jail and ~lynched, and the
next morning the judge, passing by, saw
the men hanging.
There, by gum, he said, there is one
decision the supreme court will not re-
verse;"
II the wind is summoned to the bar to
answer for violation of the Injunction, 1t
Will not be the first time it has been in a
court room.

SHIPPERS WANT NEW RULES
Commission Should Stay Rate In
a Instead of Courts.
LETTERS GOING TO WASHINGTON
Nebraska Senators and Representa-
lives Urged 90 support Bills to
give tho Commission
More Power.

Shippers of Omaha are flooding two sem
ators and several representatives of Ne
hraska in congress with letters urging the
passage Of a bill which will give the In
t~erstate Commerce commission three dis
tinct powers which the commission does
not now have and which even members Of
the commission have urged were necessary.
As outlined to the shippers by the Ma
tional Industrial Traffic league and sup
ported by them. these bills are:
Giving the commission power to stay in
creascs in rates when complaint is made.
Requiring the carrier to quote railway
rates i'm writing upon application and in
sert the rate in the bill of lading upon
request.
Giving the shipper the right to route his
own shipments, naming the connecting car
riers when he so desires.
Creamery Men started This.
The first of the new measures proposed
and now before congress is one of the out
srowths of the creamery case in which all
Omaha creamery men were interested. To
prevent the railroads putting increases in
rates on cream into effect the creamery
men secured an injunction from the fed
eral court in Chicago. Now that they have
won they are among those who believe
lne Interstate commerce commission should
have the power to stay an increased rate
until such time as the commission can
pass on its rcasonableness.
ITS practically giving tho Interstate
Commerce commission the power of injunc-
ton when II comes to forbidding the rail-
roads putting i'm advances in rates." says
j. NJ. Guild, commissioner of the CONNER
cial club, who is a member of important
committees of the National Industrial Traf-
fc league.
Shippers quote COMMISSIONS Lane as
saying TO a recent meeting of shippers and
business men, i'm writing to their repre-
sentatives in congress, as saying: IAN in
crease In rates should be made IL justified.
but should never go into effect il il is
not justified. At the present time the traf-
fc manager who makes a rate, who signs
his name to a typewriter tariff which
some clerk has drawn up, actually
makes a statute of the United States.
He makes a law and he is the only hui
man being on the face OF the globe which
can make a law on his own motion"

ing vigorously. He ran after the first
mans hat, got it and. looking up the street,
saw the other waving his hand at him
from the rear end of the street car.
No one quoted those old verses about
the same wind that blows girls skirts
about, also blowing dust in the eyes OF
naughty men, for the snow Unfortunately
had prevented this usually happy dispen-
sation being dispensated.
TuEBOat or TopsaiI.
Are you a tugboat trying to help me
across the street or a topsail helping me
blow away" suggested a young woman
crossing Seventeenth and Farnam with a
nan trying to assist her.
Both were blowing south on Seventeenth
and those who had the nerve to smile in
the wind smiled and thought the man was
more of a sail than a tugboat.
What little of Rivalry has not long since
been forgotten was left among the lost arts
Friday morning. for it was about as diff
cult TO tell in this and other cases whether
the man helped as it would be to give Rich
ard earle an answer to the question. IF a
yatchsky is a half sister to a schooner
witch, what relation is a catboat to a pousee
cafe?"
Woman after woman, girl after girl,
tried 10 cross WINDY streets while men
hung to lamp posts. 1t was a danger
akin to assisting a drowning man, to offer
assistance, for wind, the sombre rival,
might take a notion at any time TO humili-
ate the man who offered aid.
At 9 o'clock a woman attempted to cross
Farnam street going north. A Farnam
street car from the west was approaching.
The woman was beyond the second track
but the motorman saw her danger and
slowed down his car. 1t was not a bit
too soon. The woman was blown back
across the track, the fender coming down
with a crash as the woman screamed and
a score of people thought she would go I'M
der the wheels before their eyes. Only
the good judgment of the motorman in
slowing down his car because OF probable
danger saved the woman in the wind.

Sam Carrier is a senior at the high school

Girl than OF himself and when he reached
the school it was found that his right arm
