RAILROADS WOULD LIFT
LOW PASSENGER RATES
CFrom a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN. Sept. 1G-(special.) MEM
bers OF the state railway commission
say that there is going TO be an effort
made by the railroads to have the pas
senger rate raised from cents per mile
to IA cents.
The roads say that their income has
been cut so much by freight reductions
that It will be necessary TO raise pas
senger rates, in order to meet the situa-
ton. They say also that automobiles
have cut I'm heavily on the passenger
revenues OF the roads and take the two
together II has become a serious problem
for the roads TO meet.
It is probable that the commissions of
the various states will combine TO fight
the actions of the roads, which will APP
ply only in western territory.

prison fortress. c01ld not help real

case Of alleged espionage, which would

daylight entered my room arose and
dressed with feverish anticipation or
the days developments. The "princi-
pal female witness" of whom the
banker Magniff had spoken was due to
arrive that morning. Whoever she
might be, hoped that her evidence
would prove boomerang for the pros
ecution. Certainly the climax of the
affair must be at hand; this racking,
torturing suspense could not endure
much longer.
My only joy-but how great one,
how strong a comfort cannot put into
words-was the recollection that
Charles and had publicly pledged our
troth; nothing could take away the
memory of that or tear from either
