SAY RATES ARE ILLEGAL
Railroads Develop Position in Fight
on Aldrich Bill.
ARGUMENT WILL BE IMPORTANT
Taking of Testimony Resumed, but
Testimony Does Not Develop h
vital Points of Controversy
Ms VIII Attorneys Talks.

That the rates for passenger and freight
traffic on the Nebraska railroads as fixed
by the Aldrich ~ are illegal on the
ground that they constitute an interference
with interstate commerce, is the position
assumed by the railroads now contestlng
the legality OF the law. This side of the
controversy will not become obvious until
the case comes to argument.
The hearing Of the rate case was re-
stunned before Charles w Pearsall. referee,
appointed by the federal court, at the Of
fces of former Judge w. d. McHugh in
the First National Bank building, Monday
morning. The session was occupied with
the REORGANIZATION Of Frank Nay, audi
tor OF the Rock Island. The railroads ex-
poet to support his testimony with that Of
five other witnesses. The last adjournment
Of this hearing was taken five weeks ago,
when the state asked for time in which to
review the direct testimony Of Mr.. Nay.
The taking Of testimony will probably oc-
cupy the court until the middle Of next
week, when the arguments will be made.
Many states Interested.
1t Is in these argument that the real
vital points Of the controversy will be de-
veloped. 1t is generally understood that
among the many states which are involved
In rate litigation most are looking to the
outcome Of the Nebraska fight. The ques-
tion is little less than that Of state SOW
ereiRnty. The railroads will deny that
there is any power within any state by
which that state may in any way affect
the traffic Of a railway doing an interstate
business.
The hearing in itself is highly technical,
consisting largely in the recital OF rates
and estimates, together with countless
other connected statistical facts.
The state is represented at this hearing
by Attorney General Thompson and his
deputy, Grant Martin. Louis WHEELING is
the states rate expert, who will become an
important witness in the support OF ,the
rate laws.
w. d. McHugh of Omaha represents the
railroads in their combined effort to over
throw the rate laws. He is assisted by
rdson Rich, general council for the Union
rsolfic; Ben T. White and Carl c. Wright
Of the Northwestern and James e. Kelby
Of the Burlington.
