Thus early assurances have been received
that over 1000 of the retail merchants of
Nebraska will gather in Omaha next March

Headquarters have also been opened in

state are progressive, interested in the
work and have experienced the good re-
suits OF close organization.
THE meeting held in Omaha last March

chants Of Nebraska and, while many new
members were added at the meeting, we
have it recorded that from thirty to forty
merchants have Joined each month since
the big Omaha meeting
I'VE are going out into the state now
and organize local branches. In the past
all merchants have simply belonged to the
state association, but the new plan has
been adopted and II will prove a very
strengthening method of work.
when the Nebraska federation meets in
Omaha next March it may be necessary to
provide the Auditorium for our meetings"
Mr. Hartwick told Mr.. Campbell of the
Commercial club.
Wen do it," said Campbell, land we

TAFT FACES HARD SITUATION
WITH A DEMOCRATIC CON
GREss SOON TO BE ON HIS
HANDS, AND THE DEFEATED
ONES SORE.
UNITED rHnss LEASED wins. ]

Washington, Nov. 2S.-With the
opening OF congress only a few days
away, unusual interest Is being man
Tested here in the coming message OF
the president Old politicians say
that II will be apt to contain some sur
prises. Not since President Harrison
awoke to find himself with an un-
finished legislative program and a
Democratic congress on his hands IN
the middle OF term has a president
faced the situation that confronts Taft
now.
The situation is complicated. II
has been known for a long time that
the president, realizing the possibility
OF defeat, was planning to rush the
rest of his program through during
the short session. II is believed In
political circles here that the pro-
gram will be somewhat modified. II
Is certain that Taft will try to have
the most important measures rushed
through.
TO do this the full strength OF the
administration will be necessary, II
Is intimated. But whether this will
be powerful enough to hold In line a
number OF Republican congressman
who were defeated at the November
election is a matter that is causing
some speculation. II Is generally be-
lieyed that a number OF the defeated
ones are disgruntled, and II is inti-
mated that they may lead a revolt
among the regulars.
Politicians here are predicting that
the president will ask for tarin re-
vision. Whether the demand Will be
made that the revision begin at once,
or whether II will merely be discussed
as advisable and the real tariff mes
sage put over until the tarif board
makes its first report Is problematical.
II is generally believed that the
presidents message will outline with
much directness the things that the
president wants done. and Will indi-
cate the policy that will be followed
By the administration.

Prorogues Parliament This
Morning and Precipitates
the Battle Between Lords
and Liberals.
FIGHT WILL BE A HARD ONE
The Sudden Termination of the Ses-
sion IL Parliament Was Brought
About by the Liberals, Who Are
Seeking to Destroy the Veto Pow

London, Nov. Asking George

The two houses met jointly and lis
tened to the formal speech of the
king.
The monarch thanked both houses
for their services and then an
nounced his intention of proroguing
parliament and calling general
election.
The address was read by Lord
Loreburn, high chancellor
The members of the cabinet were
not present, being engaged In an
executive session concluding neces-
sary business before the end Of the
session.
The sudden termination OF the
parliamentary session was brought
about by the liberals. who wero
seeking to destroy the veto power OF
the lords.
The kings address referred In
touching terms to the death Of King
Edward VII.
II am determined to follow in my
dear fathers footsteps" said the
king.
The address referred to the fact
that England Is at peace with the
world. In referring to the New
foundland fisheries dispute recently
adjudicated by a tribunal at The
Hague, His Majesty said the cause
which had been a source of contrQ-
versy between America, England
and Canada for nearly a century,
was finally settled, he believed.

tion," he continued that IL has
been possible 10 solve by arbitration
problems of such intricate and difi-
cult nature, and that the award has
been received on both sides OF the
Atlantic in a spirit of good win"
In concluding, the address says;

ties between the house of parlia-

liberals win at the polls. Should
George refuse to create the peers, II

lar verdict in the event OF a liberal

throne, truce of several months

refuses their demand, 1t is more than

New York, Nov. 2S.-Designating
the sugar trust" as a ruthless mon
ster," the department of justice to-
day asked the United States circuit
court to outlaw the alleged combina-
tion. The government calls upon
the court to dissolve the trust by
means of receiver or otherwise. !"
The complaint alleges that the trust
agreement is a fraud and constitutes
a monopoly.
United States Attorney Wis einsti-
tuted the suit, which is directed
against the American Sugar Refining
Company, and 81 companies that, ac.
cording to the complaint, "eitheI
through force or persuasion were
absorbe dby the combination.
The government says that they
(the Havemeyers) and their associ-
ates managed and rirected the affairs
of former competing concerns, whose
shares they held, destroyed competi-
tion, fixed prices that prevent others
from entering the trade and forced
the retirement of many plants already
so engaged, enormous profits resulted,
and the public was damnified.
Twenty-seven individuals also are
made defendants, including directors
OF the trust and other companies.
Among the defendants are:

The defendant directors Of the
trust are given as Arthur Donner,

Hooker, Samuel Carr, Edwin Mars

The petition covers 217 pages. The
action OF the government, like the
famous dissolution suit against the
Standard Oil Company and its subsi-
diaries, is a civil action, seeking to
bring about the dissolution of the big
combine. The suit follows in a gen

which recently resulted in a finding
against the oil company in the eighth
district court, aud which is now pend

men about 48 years of age, was in
stantly killed near Iva Wednesday
night when he attempted to pull a
ground wire loose from a pole on the
Gregg Shoal power line leading to
this city. Taylor spied the copper
wire as he and several friends were
passing along the road and he decid-
ed he wanted it. He tore it loose
from the pipe in the ground and
then from the pole. The wire fell
across the heavily charged transmits
sion wire and Taylor's body got the
full force of the current. An inquest
was not thought necessary.
