Supreme Court
Likes Omahans
John L. Webster and w. D. McHugh
Get Compliment for Arguments
in Rate Cases.

A tribute was paid incidentally to
Omaha lawyers by one Of the United
States supreme court Judges who sat at
the hearing in the Missouri river rate case
which was argued Tuesday and Wednesday
at Washington. Representatives OF the rail-
roads. Interstate Commerce commission and
the jobbers were present, but after the
arguments had closed on Wednesday, one
Of the Judges said that the only two
speeches which amounted to anything in
the line of argument were made by w. ID.
McHugh OF Omaha, attorney for the rail-
roads, and by John Lee Webster of Omaha,
attorney for the Missouri river jobbers.
These men have returned to their homes
after being in Washington, where the case
was tried, The closing argument in the
case was made by Mr.. Webster and when
he noticed that his time for argumenta-
ton had expired, he motioned TO the clock
and siRnified that he would bring his
speech to a close. The court indicated to
the attorney that It was willing to hear
more OF the case and he continued to
argue the matter until the court adjourned.
Mr.. Webster maintained that the Missouri
river iobbers are important enough to re-
ceive recognition on their own account
and that they are not and should not be
dependent upon New York.

Fellow Servant
Rule is Working
Overtime in Court
Justice Fawcett Says it Has Been
Pressed So Strong that Even
Congress Takes Notice.

Robert o.. Fink's 14-year-old son is held
by a majority Of the state supreme court
to have been a fellow servant or the
domestic in the house, because the FINK
child was bringing up a hod of coal from
the kitchen. Two justices, Fawcett and
Reese, DISAGREE with the others on this
point, which is involved in the reversal Of a
suit for damages.
II was announced some time ago that
the supreme court had granted a new trial
in the suit Of Malissa WaXham against
Mr.. Fink, but the mandate has just been
written out and received here. The plaintiff
received a verdict Of $3.50 for injuries suf-
fered in falling through a trap door at
the Fink residence, December Is, 1905.
Judge Fawcett has some vigorous re-
marks to make about the applicability OF
the "fellow-servant rule in this case, say
ing:
81 concur in the judgment Of reversal,
but not upon the ground stated I'm the
majority opinion, The doctrine Of fellow
servant has been made to work overtime
during late years by the courts Of the
country. So much so that even congress
has taken notice and given some relief
along this line. l concede that under
some circumstances a minor son will be
held TO be a servant OF his rather, but JIG
is extending the rule beyond the bonds OF
reason and common experience 10 hold
that a l4-year-old son is, in his fathers
home, a fellow servant Of the kitchen
girl or housekceper. such a theory Is 10
my mind not only uusound, but repulsive.'

The campaign OF the Wise Memorial hos
pital committee TO raise $4,000 for its new
annex has progressed so well that there
are nearly SO donations in. Another crisp

Mrs. Sounenberg has received assurance
from the Visiting Nurse association that

NOW TO GET BUTTER MARKET
This is the Logical Time Says
David Cole Anent Elgin Trouble.
OPPORTUNITY THROUGH PROBE
No Need to Listen TO DIctRtiOn of I'LL
nOIs Town Board when Primary
Market Can Be Created in
This city.

Now is Omaha's chance to get the butter
market.
This is the logical time for Omaha to
reach out and simply take it," said David
Cole when the declaration for an investiga-
ton of the Elgin butter board by Attorney
General Wickersham was called to his at
tention.
Nothing more is needed than for the
Omaha men to get together. Omaha is as
logically the seat of the butter market as
the corn market which we have. We are
located in the heart of the corn territory,
also we are the greatest producers OF, but
ter in the country. We have the goods to
sell. why not sell it here?
There is nothing else to it but the mere
concerted action Of the Omaha producers
and dealers, The butter market can be
ours.
The Commercial club is up and ready
to do anything that can be done to aid in
the location OF the market here. Omaha
does not need to listen to the dIctation Of
the Elgin board on butter prices and IL
remains only a question Of bringing the
buyers here, We AVE the producers"
skepticaI of Combine.
Mr.. Cole is OF the opinion that the record

10 cents a pound for dressed chickens, is
due entirely TO the high price of eggs, He,
however, does not believe, he says, that
there IS a combine for the cornerlng Of
eggs for storage purposes.
1T is simply a question OF supply and
demand. They cant corner the egss,' said
Mr.. Cole. There are not enough people
out on the farms raising hens and pro-
ducing eggs. that's ALL"
The present poultry prices, which con-
stitute a record in the history OF the Omaha
and Chicago markets are to prevail at
least for a week longer, and probably be-
yond that, Schedules issued for the next
week continue the record quotations.
Shipments OF eggs to the east continue,
according TO retail dealers observing the
market. The rumor persists that a Chicago
firm is operating a squeeze in eggs.
Eggs stored at q cents now will be sold
in the winter at from 80 to 80 cents, accord

Harpoon Proves MctfIe

Marble Head, Mass, August 10.-Two more trial races to select an American team of three yachts to meet the chal- lenging Spanish boats were sailed off here tonight in choppy seas, and the Har- poon, owned by c. F, Adams of the East ern club, once more stamped herself as the best sonder boat of the year in at least light and moderate conditions, and she seems almost certainly to be assured of a place in the international contests next week.
 As the Beaver, owned by C. w. Eos ter also of the Eastern Yacht club, were both raced in the second division today, her chances for participation in the in- ternational contests are also considered favorable.
 While the committee will not commence their eiminations until after tomorrow s races. it is expected that the Harpoon, Beaver Irma, Lady. Sally XI and Joy cite will be chosen for the semi-fnals.

BUDDY CHASED COPPERS

, covered from the outside of the park were
 chased. Policemen, big and small, coats
 buttoned and unbuttoned, were forced to
 stand erect and march, For the first time
 in history the big coppers heard their
 favorite mandate, Move on," addressed to them.
 Captain Johnson hung on for a while
 under the guse of keeping Gene Demont out of the field. He even aided Rudder- ham in chasing the others. And when he sat down again, he, too. was told to hump. He bumped, but he did not go un- til he had cut loose a peal of laughter
 which threatened to do damage to the shingles and rafters. When the game was resumed the field bore an unnatural aspect. No ragged
 urchin of the streets, begrimed and fidgety, blasted the perfect view. No lazy copper stretched himself with yawn or
 was heard to yell at the umpire or encour- age the Barons.
 It was all peculiarly transformed, and not unpleasant.

Where They Play Today

Bauer proved equal to the emergency, and for tne third successive time the high flying Pelicans were shut out yesterday afternoon.
 The score was identical with that of ruesday-2 to 0.
 The game was equally as well played as that of Tuesday. and in view of the unexpected events which were injected into the frolic, it was even more excit- ing.
 Bauer pitched a magnificent game. Ills lack of control was hardly to be noticed. His speed was fine and his splitter was doing business overtime.
 He had magnificent support. In this re- spect Marcan exceled. The second base man did sensational, work, and his catch Ing of would-be Texas leaguers caused the fans to cheer themselves hoarse.
 And how he stung the ball!
 But Molesworths hitting was the feat ure of the game. The manager smashed safely the first three trips to the pan, and his fourth effor. required all the in- genuity of Rohe to effect a putout.
 His third hit was triple to right field fence, and on 1t two Barons scored all the runs of the game.
 Eliott's splendid whip relieved a tense situation in the second. He possibly saved the game. At any rate, he cut off the only chance that the Pelicans had to score. Men were on third and second. But one was out. Manush on the key stone was a little too daring, and was caught mapping, the catcher to Marcan. Lindsay in the meanwhile forgot to score, and as a result the Barons managed to turn the third successive shutout.
 In the fourth the Barons filled the bases. And none were out. Molesworth and Me Bride had singled McGilvray sacrificed and Moesworth beat Hess throw to third. Hess then lost his temper and angrily showed Rudderham. He was or dered from the game. Manager Demont then interfered, and he was ordered from the field.
 Paige then entered the box for the visit ors and Elliott hit into. a double play. Ellam famed. Paige was given a rousing applause by the Birmingham fans for his work was excellent, especially in view of the fact that he had not warmed up.
 But in the fifth the Barons got to him. Marcan, after two had followed the prim- rose path to darkness. singled to center. Messenger was walked. Molesworth then tripled over the head of Weimer. Mar can and Messenger scored.
 feature of the game, which was not on the programme, was Rudderham, on the objection of Frank and Demont, or dering everyone, unless he be a player, or bat boy, out the park. This man. date included policemen. and they were told "to move on.' And for the first time in Southern league baseball no lounging copper witnessed fray from the diamond inclosure.
