The Teachers association brought to LIN
coin some $500 visitors and the hotels were
crowded and hundreds had to go to pri-
vate homes, while in instances as many
as four and eight tescher occupied one
room.
Considerable discussion arose during this
meeting over the action of the executive
committee in securing speakers who APP
parently represented some textbook con-
Germ. The officials also came in for criti-
cism over the fact that some of the edu-
Gators received complimentary membership
cards, which cost others 81 each. Why the

the teachers and not to others was not
explainable to those who lost out.

an association being exploited for com

which were elected today. as published this

Two fouls and a stolen base.
That is the sum total John Gondlng
claims the Rourke transformers were able
to get of L. j. SlndeIar, the giant pitcher
Of the Stanton team on the recent visit
Of the Rourkes to that burg.
So glowing were the reports the Rourkes
brought back to Pa of the prowess Of this
youth that no time was lost by Pa in
trying to secure him for next year, and
his name is now attached to an Omaha
contract.
SindeIar is the talk Of the Smoke House.
Now that he has signed up, the Corn Cob
league will have something to talk about
all winter.
Orrie Shannon, catcher for the Mime
! apolis team, who accompanied the Rourkes
on the trip, says he is the best pitcher he
! ever saw.
The official record OF the game played
by Omaha at Stanton shows that the
Rourkes made two little singles off his
delivery. Gonding says that is all a mis-
take and that all that was made amounted
ITO two fouls and a stolen base.
Gonding says he is six feet four and
bigger all around than Rube Waddell. II

all is that he has not been grabbed up

State Answers
in q Cent Case
Attorney General Thompson Says
Lower Fare Has Resulted in In
creased Business.
CFrom a staff Correspondent

"a ARHhA -
LINCOLN. Nov. DISQUALIFICATION
ney General Thompson has filed in the
federal court here an answer 10 the allie
cations of the Northwestern railroad In
its attack upon the legality of the 2-cent
fare law and the other railroad legisla-
tion enacted by the legislature of 1907.
In denying the allegations of the rail-
road that the 2-cent fare law had caused
a loss OF revenue to the corporations the
answer alleges the fact to be that the
railroads have made more money under
that law than they did make under a
rate of 3 cents a mile when passes were
in vogue.
The answer sets out that the railroads
did not receive 3 cents a mile per pas
senger prior to 1907, but received during
the year ending June 1907 not more than
2.216 DENTS per passenger per mile. In
that same year the railroads received
S1.4l7 gross revenue per passenger train
mile, whereas during the fiscal year end
ing June.N 1909, 1855 revenue per pas
senger train mile. al increase Of s.4 per
cent. The gross passenger train revenue
Of the Northwestern was not more than
81, SIS, s49.17. and that the passenger train
earnings OF complainant Tor the year end
ing June 80, 1909, was not less than
s2,15T,96041, an increase IN gross pas
senger train revenue for 1909 over 1907
Of 31.66 per cent. The train miles used
TO carry the passengers in 1907 was 1,l55,-
Omaha daily bee., 1909-11-06

S76, against 1890 s for 1903, an increase
in train miles used of only 3.74 per cent.
The passengers per train in 1907 aver
aged 81, in 1903 the average was 81. The
operating expenses per passenger train
miles in 1907 was 1924 and for 1909
$1.209, a decrease of 2 per cent. The net
income Of the road in 1907 was not more
than $4,000 a mile, while for 1909 the net
income was not less than S2,3s0 a mile
from all business, The net operating in
come for 1907 was not less thar S2,423, 900
and for 1903 1t was $2,627,O 900.
The answer alleges that the decreasd
freight and passenger rates has tended
to increase business rather than to cut
down revenue.
