NEBRASKA'S CASE

McVann, Clarke and Reed Tell Inter
state Body About Order

WRITTEN TALKs- ron LINCOLN
tFrom staff correspondent.l

(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-In the
hearing of the Nebraska cases before
the Interstate Commerce commission
this morning, q. ]. McVann of the
Commercial club of Omaha presented
the contentious of the city of Omaha,
which is in the Nebraska case as an
intervenor.
Mr.. McVann stated that the only
purpose of the Intervention of Omaha
was to make sure that the commits
sion should have all the necessary
facts before it in determining the
complicated issues presented. He
then proceeded to show the differ
ence in, the transportation situation
Of Omaha as against Sioux City, Civ
in ga full exposition of the reasons
why. the rates have always been the
same from both cities to Nebraska
points, although Sioux City is forty
miles nearer. He made clear the po-
sition of Omaha that no objection is
made to the continuation of this ad-
justment.
In the case OF Kansas City and st. Jo-
seph. McVann said that Ine position Of
Omaha was frankly hostile to the con-
tinuation OF the old adjustments, ex-
planning that the old rates had for
twenty-five years deprived Omaha of
lawful advantage of location, which was
a right always recognized by the Inter-
state Commerce commission.
Whitten for Lincoln.
Walter Whitten. for the Lincoln Com
mercial club, occupied himself chiefly in
reading into the record the admission on
the part of the railroads Of the soundness
OF the Lincoln adjustment, which was
subsequently confirmed by y. c. Wright
who closed for the railroads.

A wish-bone pin, set with dia'

he boldly robbed many Detroit res.

OF plumber. He served two and one
half years for one OF the jobs. His
method was to dress as a working
man and carry a dinner pail on his
arm, and II noticed proving around
houses. he would declare that he
was looking for a house where he
was going to work.
Detective Plies, who arrested him
at that time, tells OF one clever piece
OF work by Bieas.
He paid an organ grinder 80 cents
TO play for a half.hour In front OF a
certain house.
Neighbors wondered at the Ions

in the notes from the hand organ.
On another occasion, Bieas watch
