NEGRO ATTEMPTS ROBBERY
AND MURDER TO HIDE lT
brakeman at Rutland stops Train in
Nick of Time to Save Life

ALLIANCE, Neb., Sept. 6.-(Special)-
Last evening a negro armed with a revolt
yer rode up to Rutland Station, just east
Of Crawford, where he claimed to be a de-
tective from Crawford on the track OF a
Japanese laborer whom, he asserted, muir
dered a woman in Denver, and was offer
ing to pay reward of $500 for his capture.
No attetion was paid to him at the time,
Sut soon cries for help were heard from
under the wheels OF freight train stand
Ing in a siding. The train was just about
to move, but the brakeman, herring the
cries, signaled' the train to stop, and dis
covered this pseudo detective holding down
an Italian laborer on the track
The brakeman and a number OF laborers
rushed to the place, when the would-be
murderer released the man ana made for
a neighboring cornfield, firing several in
effective shots at his pursuers, afterward
throwing away his gun and coat as he
ran.
Some of the Italians were armed and
opened brisk fire on the man, bringing
him down by a CHANGING shot which mo-
mentarily stunned him. When his pursuers
came up he made fierce resistance, and
was only overpowered by superior num-
bers.
The man refused to speak beyond giying
his name as James II. Williams and after
tward volunteered the information tina. the
horse he rode belonged to Major johnson
OF the Eighth cavalry at Fort Robinson
where 1t is supposed the horse was stolen
The laborer was walking along on the
far side OF the train, and It was evidently
the mans intention TO let the train run
over the man after robbing him Of IS

OiflCeholders
Requested to Pay
Republican Executive Committee De-
cides on System of Assessments
for Campaign Funds.
cFrom a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Sept 6.-(Special Telegram. y
The executive committee Of the republican
state committee met tonight and discussed
ways and mean to carry on the present
campaign. 1t was decided that Chairman
Husenetter should take authority for max
ing assessments on state candidates as well
as state employees who are now holding
their places by virtue of republican success
in Nebraska.
Employees will be asked to give per cent
OF their salaries. while the offices which
pay $500 will be assessed $500, and those
which pay 5000 will be asked for $40.
Chairman Husenetter came to Lincoln
armed with a check for $500 as Senator
Aldrich's contribution to the campaign.
Senator Burkett is expected so it was an
nounced, to- pay like amount.
Clyde Barnard declined TO take the place
Of secretary, and Chairman Husenetter will
appoint his successor later. Mr.. Barnard
said it would be impossible for him to give
all Of his time to the campaign and Mr.,
Husenetter wants man whose services
could be secured continuously from now
until election With the exception of Bert
Mapes Of Norfolk, all members Of the com.

poratons. These other companies. with
their subsidiaries. and with the General

struction, and 100000 undeveloped, in six

OF WATER POWER
Herbert Knox smith Discusses Rise OF
New Industry.

Herbert Knox smith Discusses Rise of
New Industry.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Sept. 6.-In addressing
the convention on the subject OF water
power, Herbert Knox Smith, United States
commissioner of corporations, declared that
the close relations of water power companies
throughout the country, and the fact that
the power, by means of electric transmits
sion, can be distributed over wide area
from one state to another-makes conserva-
ton of this great force a proper duty of
the federal government. He stated 1t as
his personal belief that the national gov
eminent has full constitutional and statu-
tory authority TO assume the task.
THE investigation of developed water
powers now being made by the bureau of
corporations" he declared shows that
up-to-date eighteen concerns or closely
allied interests control over 100000 horse
power of the water power. As to unde-
veloped powers, this Information was
secured merely as an incident to our main
work, and certainly much UNDERSTANDS the
case. As II stands, however. 1t makes a
total water power controlled by these
eighteen groups of over $4,000 horse
power. The total water power in United
States in 1908, as estimated by the census
and geological survey, was only 100000.
AS this total includes a very large num-
Der of small powers which the bureau did
not include, as it dealt almost wholly with
powers of over 1000 horse power, the
total now commercially capable of de-
velopment is varlously estimated at from
50 100000 to 6OOOOOOO horse power, the
smaller figure being the preferable one.
The great bulk of both developed and UNI
developed water power lies on the Pacific
coast, the northwest, northeast and the
south Atlantic states. Our power demand
as measured by the total manipulated
capacity of all prime movers-steam, water
and gas-is now at least 100000 horse
power.
There is going on a concentration OF a
wide sort-a process of deep significance,
but as yet little recognized. There is
marked progress toward a mutually Of
! interests among public service companies
generally, electric light. power, gas and
street railway concerns, The significant
Identity of officers and directors in a large
number of such companies throughout the
United States is very remarkable,
In part, this is due to specialization by
/ financial houses in given lines OF invest
ment; in part to the common employment
/ OF certain eminent engineering firms; and
1 I'm part to relations with certain leading
! equipment companies. Electric equipment
is usually supplied by one OF a few great
equipment concerns and frequently paid for,
at least in part. in the securities OF the
proposed project. Thus the equipment COM
pany acquires interests in widely separated
power and light concerns.
Take a single example, the General Flee
trio company. which is the most powerful
electric equipment concern in the world.
Men who are officers or directors OF the
GensraI Electric company or OF its three
wholly controlled subsidiary companies, are
