A~SESLAWYERS TO NAME FEES
Water Board Wants to Know How
Much for the Future -
KNOW TOO WELL AS TO THE PAST
Nipple says They viii "Continue
the Fight but Wants webster
and wright 60 Name Their
Price First.

Definite contracts as to what legal serv-
ices will cost in the future will be drawn
up by and between the Omaha Water
board and John L. Webster and Carl C..
Wright, the boards attorneys.
Members of the board say they have a
deep impression what their attorney fees
have been in the past. but in the future
they want to know what the cost is to be
before the work is done.
No meetings have been held, said DIR. A.
II. Nipple, member Of the board. but the
two attorneys have been instructed to make
out an itemized statement of expenses past
for the board. All bills rendered by the
attorneysl have been paid without ques-
ton, but now after they have been paid
and paid by the board not moving ex-
actly what 1t paid for, the board has asked
the attorneys to separate the bills to show
what each separate case has cost.
I'VE will continue the fight and will hold
the aggressive end Of the contest until the
last ditch" said DR.. Nipple. But don't
misunderstood me. I mean that we will
fight the appraisement cas- to the finish,
but the board has many cases and some
Of these may be dropped where they are.
But about this / do not know--the board
has taken no definite action.
All L can say AT thls Tune IL that tne
attorneys have been asked to furnish item
lied bills showing the cost of litigation OF
each case; that they will be asked to con-
tract for future work at a certain price,
and that the water works appraisement
case will be fought to a standstilL."
Asked what the board would do with the
s ,5O0.OO that the people voted to issue in
bonds DR.. Nipple said it would be used in
buying the water works and not in paying
attorneys fees.

WAREHOUSES; ARE TOO SMALL
Railroads Want to Ship 1000 Pounds
More in Beer Cars.
BAY WINDOWS Hay BE BUILT
Breweries Constructed Local ooIer
to Hold only $4,000 Pounds and
Railroads Propose Increase
of Minimum Weight.

An beer warehouses in Nebraska will
have to be enlarged or reople will have
to drink more beer. II the Nebraska Rail-
way Commission secures the adoption OF
the new classification which will make a
change in the minimum weight OF beer
cars. increasing Il from 1900 to ZOO
pounds.
This is one Of the most serious things
which will result from the new classifica-
ton. though there are others. f. j. NC
Vann. manager Of the traffic bureau and
J. NJ. Guild, commissioned of the CONNER
clal club. returned Thursday from Lincoln
where they went to protest against the
adoption OF the latest classification list.
A little more than a year ago the rail-
roads increased the minimum amount of
beer which should be loaded in a car in
order to entltie It to the car load rate from
1,0O to $4,000 pounds. Nebraska apparently
got away with the increased amount Of
beer even in face OF the prohibition clouds
which have been lowering over the state.
Now the railroads are going to compel
brewers 20 put $500 pounds Of beer in a
car before they can get the car load rate.
II simply means that the LEGAL agent or
saloon keepers who have cooling ware
houFes out over the state will have to get
wv tNaA1 AAAA ~ AAA NAAAA1 otAA NAIAA
the extra amount will crowd the ware
houses. They were originally built to hold
and accommodate 2f,O4 pounds OF beer.
For years only 1000 pounds were shipped
in the cars sent out from the breweries.
When the 24.OOO rule went into effect. the
brewers found their warehouses filled
every time they sent out a car load OF
beer Now comes the proposal to make the
minimum weight 5000 pounds, or 1000
pounds more than the warehouse will hold.
Beer Going TO Waste.
What will the brewers and saloon keepers
do with the extra 1000 pounds. especially
with a daylight saloon facing them.
Some suggest they might hold a bargain
auction sale at the car as they are doing
in Lincoln and make the arrival OF a car
load Of beer in a country town a big
event when the extra 1900 pounds may be
easily disposed of in any wet community.
In the new classification more than 900
changes are proposed in minimum weights.

list of commodities besides the beer Of

President of c., M. & st. p. Railroad
Takes Optimistic View of Con-
dition of Business

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Albert ].
Earling, president of the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad COM
pany, takes an optimistic view of the
condition of business in the northwest
and the part his railroads new extern
sion to Puget sound will play.
Business in the territory of both
the ST. Paul and the Pacific coast eX-
tension" he said, far exceeds our
expectations, notwithstanding the fact
that the movement of grain is not so
heavy as a year ago.
1.-THE grain crop has diminished not
because the crop Is short, but because
the farmers have improved their f1nan-
cial condition so that they are now
able to hold back for higher prices,
and the result will be, of course, that
our tonnage will be exceptionally
heavy this winter.
'I expect to see all records broken
for gross earnings. The main line, 400
miles long, reaching from the Missouri
river to the Pacific coast, is entirely
completed and we are now at work on
about 600 or 700 miles of branches.
"Some of these will be completed
by the end of this year and they will
all be finished by next July. About
that time we shall add a through pas
senger service. We are operating a
through freight service now, but the
passenger trains are so far entirely
for local traffic"

DEFENSE GUNS ESTABLISH
NEW RECORD AT TARGETS
Coast Artillery at Fort Hancock, N. j.,
Puts Four Shots Into Target
Within Minute

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-A new rec
ord has been established by the great
coast defense guns at Fort Hancock,
N. j., a report of which has just
reached the war department.
With ten-inch disappearing rifles. the
battery there fired four shots minute
at a target thirty feet high and sixty
feet long, which was being towed by
tug and every shot told. Four shots
fired in one minute all struck within
a space on the material target exactly
twenty-four feet by fifty-three feet.
This record never before has been ap-
preached by the coast artillery.
No heavy gun battery above six
inch caliber has attained the speed
of firing or the hits per minute made
in this practice. The distance at which
the record was made was more than
seven thousand yards, or about four
miles. The eighteenth company, coast
artillery corps, is credited with this
new mark in gunnery.

FOREIGN MONEY
POSITION RULES
STOCK MARKET DOMINATED BY
LONDON RATES
HEAVY SELLING EXECUTED FOR
ACCOUNTS ABROAD
Strong Demand for Remlttances to
England and Germany Show Re-
quirements for Payments in
Europe Not Covered
rBy Associated Press ]

NEW YORK, Oct 23-It was still
manifest that the foreign money po-
sition, rather than conditions at home,
is dominating the New York stock
market. Heavy selling orders were eX-
ecuted here for foreign account and
while these were in progress there was
selling also for the home professional
account TO get rid o. the declining
tendency in prices.
The selling pressure relaxed again
when the foreign orders had been eX-
ecuted, but was renewed in'the appre-
hension of what is to occur next week.
The sharp reaction in foreign exchange
rates that occurred yesterday left a
hope that requirements for remittance
abroad had been covered with the ap-
proach of the period within which obll-
cations maturing in London November
1 could be covered.
This hope was belied by the strong
demand for further remittances, not
only to London but to Berlin The lat
ter movement was in response to the
expectation that the Imperial Bank OF
Germany would advance it's discount
rate from to 6 per cent on Monday.
There was a small withdrawal of
gold from the Bank of England today
for shipment to Egypt, which raised
the question of the efficacy of the pres
ent bank rate to protect the London
gold supply, and a decline of fraction
in the private discount rate in London
also made doubtful the banks control
of the open money market in London.
Increasing attention is turned to the
Brazilian demand for gold in connec-
ton with the heavy exports of coffee
from that country. 1t Is this demand
that the London market appears to
be able to shift on New York. The
added likelihood of further gold ship
ment from New York to Brazil grow
ing out of the violent recovery in for
eign exchange rates today furnished
the motive for the later acute weak
ness in the stock market,
The final and lowest prices for stocks
were Immediately followed on the
tape by the figures Of the bank state
ment. showing increased surplus re-
serves. both under the average compu-
tation and under the actual statement.
The substantial loan decrease shown
by the daily averages contrasted with
the increase during the week of the
transfer of loans from foreign banks
to New York.

Secretary of Kansas Board Of Agri-

Who Ever Refused a
Senatorship

F. D. Coburn, famous internationally
as an authority on agriculture, but
even better known in this country as
the only man who ever refused
United States senatorship, is in Los
Angeles. Mr. Coburn is secretary Of
the Kansas board of agriculture, ana
his reports and books on live stock and
similar subjects have done a great deal
TO make that state prominent. Several
of the state reports written by MN
are now used as, textbooks in agrlcul-
tural colleges in Europe and Australia
and have been translated into nulner-
Gus foreign languages.
MIR. Coburn has had numerous oHlces
open to him, some of which have Of
fered a far greater remuneration than
that he now holds, but he has refused
them all in order to keep at his work
of recording the agricultural progress
of Kansas When the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition was organized at ST
Louis he took a leave of absence long
enough to take the position of chlet OF
the live stock department at the World
fair. He is regarded in all parts OF
Kansas as the foremost citizen OF that
state. ,
Among live stock men Mr.. Coburn is
considered the worlds best authority
on swine culture, and his book on that
subject is referred to as the final word
on every kind of hogs. He has been
the most consistent advocate or the
roe,its of alfalfa east of the Rockies,
and has written an authoritative work
on its culture. ia,
While in California Mr.. Coburn will
