From star Correspondent. J

Lincoln, June Especial Farm
ers hauling grain to the elevators reg
stered under the public warehouse
law have had some controversy with
the elevators as to the date OF certi-
ficates OF storage and the same has
been put up 10 the Railway Com
mission 10 settle the matter.
Ii is claimed that perhaps farmer
may haul ten loads Of grain 10 the
elevator, bringing two loads each day.
He does not know for sure whether
he desires 10 take advantage Of the
warehouse law or not until il is all in,
The question arises as 10 just what
date should be attached TO the certi-
ficates Of storage.
The commission holds that at the
end Of each daya certificate should be
issued showing the amount consigned
that day. Then If az thc end Of the
hauling the farmer decides not TO
come under the storage act, the cefti-
ficates can be surrended to the Gle
vator company. This will protect the
farmer from day 10 day from loss by
fire, should the elevator burn before
all the grain is hauled.
Adjusting Brick Rates.
The Omaha Railroad company has
received permission 10 feadjust its
rates on brick, changing from the
commodity rate 10 the Class 4 rate
from Omaha 10 Florence and from
Ouren 10 Omaha, and also 10 Teka-
nah. This reduces the rate about one
half cent per hundred, except at Mag
net and Wayne, where the rate is very
slightly higher, and at Winside, where
Il is one-half a cent higher.
Transfer at Nelson.
The Deshler Commercial club de.
sires the commission TO require the
Burlington to transfer cars Of pota-
toes and broomcorn at Nelson TO the
Rock Island railroad instead Of com
pelling the cars 10 go around, thus
making the freight on the same 50
high that il is practically prohibitiye.
A former order Of the commission re-
CURED a transfer switch al Nelson be-
tween the two RAIDS, but it has not
been used in the cases mentioned by
the Deshlcr Commercial club. In or
der 10 get at the matter rightly the
commission has instructed the club TO
make application for joint rate.

Evidence In Hands of State Department and Admis- sions In German Note Make Situation Delicate Step May Follow
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, April 13-The Unit ed States is disposed to consider that Germany, in the latest submarine note practically admitted one of her sub marine commanders is guilty of tor pedoing the Channel steamer Sussex. President Wilson and Secretary Lan sing today examined the official text of the communication from Berlin and are known to have reached this con- cluSiOn although no announcement was made.
 Unless Germany admits unequiVocal- ly the attacking of the Sussex which had aboard more than a score of Amer ican citizens and inflicts adequate pun ishment upon the commander of the sub marine and in other ways show ev idences of good faith, action of a dras- tie nature undoubtedly will follow. De tails of the policy to be pursued are | expected to be formulated at the meet ing of the cabinet tomorrow.
 i The assumption of Germany's admis sion of guilty is founded upon the marked similarity of the circumstances | surrounding the explosion which dam aged the Sussex and the attack upon a steamer in the channel described in the German note. The date, time, and 1 locations are practically the same. The 1 damage done by the torpedo fired by the submarine and the explosion which wrecked the Sussex are identical. The
 curse being followed by the Sussex and | the vessel mentioned in the note are 1 similar.
 l Tie only difference in the two yer sions, that of Germany based upon the report of a submarine commander, and 1 that of the United States, founded upon i reports of the British and French gov ernmentS. affidavits of survivors, and ! investigations by American naval dip lomatic and consular officials is found in the description of the Sussex and in i the description of the vessel attacked by the submarine, based upon a sketch made by the submarine commander while peering through his periscope It is considered that the slight vari- ations in the two sides of the case very 1 well can be reconciled.
 Following the receipt recently of press dispatches announcing that the German government flatly denied re- sponsibilty for the explosion which destroyed the Sussex. it is believed the case United States was preparina against Germany warfare would have
 to be based upon the accumulation o1 illegal attacks rather than largely up
 on the disaster to the channel steamer
 It is now being revealed upon just wha'
 contentious and arguments Germany
 bases her denial or responsibility, tn,
 administration considers that the cas,
 of the Sussex is stronger than ever.
 Secretary Lansing today had nearly
 completed the collection of evidenc,
 in regard to the conduct of the sub
 marine warfare since the Lusitania , went down. A statement of facts, i
 was said, probably will be ready to b
 brought to the attention of the Ger
 man government within the next fev
 days.

WILSON PRAYS
 NIT bE DRAWN
 IN T0 QUARREL
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 13.-President Wilson, speaking at Jefferson day banquet of democrats from all parts of the country here tonight prayed that the United States would not be drawn into d quarrel not of it's own choosing, but asked if the people were ready to go in where the interests of America were coincident with the interests of humanity and have the courage to withdraw when the interests of human ity had been conserved.
 He was interrupted by cheers and shouts of yes
 During his address the president had mentioned the European war and the Mexican question, without intimating what were his plans in either of the problems confronting the United States.
 He declared that in the present situ- ation the responsibility was with the democratic party because that party controls the government and that "it is for us" to hold the balance even and not to allow some malign interference to depress ore side or the other.
 Most Of the speech was devoted to
 
 ocratic party during the last three years and to d criticism of the republicans as the party with "a provincial spirit. The president asserted that the nation was better prepared than ever before to show how America can lead the way along the path of light.
 The president declared that he was not interested in personal ambition nor even over party success, but he was interested in seeing the load depress- ing humanity lifted. He mentioned none of the republican leaders by name but when he spoke of ambitious mer there were shouts of CT R."

LulI in Verdun Battle

PARIS, April 13.-Another Hull has fallen on the Verdun battlefield, as the Germans have been obliged to pause in order to fill up the gaps in their ranks. to replace damaged guns and to bring up munitions preparatory to fur ther onslaughts. It is believed that the French command is not likely to mod fly it's methods General Petain is said to be quite satisfied as long as the Ger mans go on losing three times as many men SIS the French for unimportant re- sults as he knows that he has ample reserves to press a counter attack on a large scale when the opportune time arrives, and stocks of ammunition which are practically ineXhaustible.

Unfavorable Weather Is Hindering Infantry Oper- ations In Vicinity of Yer dun Though Has Been Heavy Work by Artillery RUSSIANS HOLD
 GERMANS IN CHECK Germans In Lake NarOcz and Ikskul Bridgehead Positions Fail to Make Any Advances Against the Russians
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]


 Before Verdun the infantry has re- mained inactive, and only in the sec tors to the northwest, embracing Hill 30i and the front from I.e Mort Homme to Cumeres, has there been heavy work by the artillery. Berlin reports that unfaVorable weather is hinderinS in fantry operations.
 The Germans in the Lake NarcoZ and Ikskul Bridgehead positions on the Russian front have made attempts to advance against the Russians. after preparatory bombardments. In each instance, according to Petrograd, they were repulsed. Near Baranovchi the Russian infantry essayed an attack on the Germans. but was driven back.
 On the Austro-Italian line the usual bombardments and infantry attacks at various points continue In Asiatic Turkey the Turks have delivered pow ertul counter attacks in the Caucasus region against important positions re- gently captured from them by the Rus sians. Their attempts failed, according to Petrograd.
 Five additional vessels have met with disaster. as a result of mines or submarines. The British steamers Robert Adamson and Angus and the British bark InverlyOn have been sunk by submarines, while a Danish vessel named Dorothea has been sunk by a mine and the Dutch steamer Colombia damaged by mine.
 A semi-Official dispatch from Berlin calculates the French losses up to the present in the fighting around Nerdun at 150,0 900 officers and mer. The Brit ish losses in the fighting with the Turks at Sannayiat. April 9. are de- clared officially to have been much be- low 3000-the figure given in the Turk ish statement announcing the defeat of the British column.

The message said footing had been carried on extensively and much property had been destroyed.
 As far as this section of the border
 is concerned, the news of Carranza's s request for the withdrawal of the troops has not caused any open dis turbance. Juarez maintained it's cus- tomary placid attitude, and the Mex
 jeans on both sides of the river seemed ] far less excited than the Americans. Undisturbed by the days develop ments, Fl Paso business concerns sent another trainload of supplies to Casas l, Grandes over the Mexican Northwest
 ern railroad. The supplies which will l find their way into the hands of the field base quartermaster included three cars of oats. four cars of gasoline and 1 two of commissary goods.

Funston Says FaH Did Injustice Im
 The Thirteenth
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 SAN ANTONIO Tex, April I3.-"A great injustice to the officers and men of the Thirteenth cavalry was the way General Funston characterized the recent declarations of Senator Fall in report he sent today to the adjutant general at Washington. Gen eral Funstons report to the adjutant general was in effect a reply to the criticism that Senator Fall made of the conduct of the troops at Colum- bus, when that town was raided d month ago by Villa.
 General Funston explained his re- ioinder by saying that Colonel SlOcum now was far in the interior of Mexico and unable to reply for himself. He declared that almost every statement in Senator Falls declaration was false. He declared that after the first shot of the sentry the remainder of the garrison was in action in about five minutes He denied that the residents of Columbus had aided ma : terially in the defense of the town styling Senator Falls assertion that they had done so as rubbish in- stead of losing 100 horses he said the actual number was 45, large part of which has been recovered.

Republican A. P. Leased Wirel PERSHINGS CAMP AT FRONT. April :, tby aeroplane and motorcycle couriers to Columbus, N NJ, April 13).-A report reaching here from Mexican sources last night was that Julio Agosta, a Villa leader near Guerrero had declared he would no longer fight against Americans Agos- ta has been considered one of Villa $ most steadfast men. His announce ment, if true, is taken as strength ening the reports that Villa has met serious defection among his own people.
 A conference of considerable sig nificance and of unusual picturesque ness took place here today when Cen eral Luis Herrera. commander of the Carranza army, called upon General l Pershing
 The meeting took place in the mid dle of a yellow grass dried mesa. five miles broad and twenty miles long. with mountains walling all sides and a grass fire ranging up the sides of a nearby mountain curtaining the eastern sky with smoke The two staffs set in the open, in a circle on cracker boxes and bacon tins. the only available chairs in the Ameri- can headquarters camp. A hot sun blaZed on the tins and flashed from | the silver buckles on the leather chappejoes encasing the legs of the Mexican officers. The Americans wore the regulation olive drab. A hedge of dried yellow daisies, Gen eral Pershing's wind break, and a rectangle of cottonwood boughs laid on the ground marked the outline of General Pershing's quarters where the conferees sat. X boy could have stepped over the boughs. Part ot General Herrera's personal body guard stood with their horses out side the boughs. American troopers held the horses of the Mexican staff It was the first meeting by Genera Pershing. since he crossed the border with a general of the Mexican staff Herrera had arrived with twenty five men. several hours earlier at tn, ranch houses about a mile from tn,

 In the course of his speeches. Sen ator Stone criticized both Great Bri- tain and Germany. He declared they were equally guilty of offenses against the peace and well being of mankind, the former because of it's policy of "navalism" and the latter because of it's "militarism,' while he deplored any program that could be construed as either navalism or militarism in the United States, the Missouri sena- tor said lie was for adequate defense and thought the navy was far more 1 important than the army.
 l Both Senators Stone and Borah ad- vocated a reasonable standing army When asked if he thought the United States had an adequate force in case 'unpleasantness' should follow de- vel1pments in Mexico, the former said he thought an adequate force speedily could be procured for an emergency.

 posed plants to private capital in time of peace for manufacture of fertilizer Senator Tillman criticized senators who opposed the constitutionality o1 the nitrate plant.

 Until ordered to act otherwise, General Pershng will continue un- interruptedly and without material change of plan his pursuit of Villa, but he also will be expected to carry out General Funston's orders issued today to look closely after the guard
 ing of his lines of communication and investigate carefully all Mexican
 troop movements in his vicinity,
 whether they be the movements of Villa troops or those of the de facto government.
 General Funston said late today that he had ordered scouts to watch for the forces of General Arnulf0 Gomez, reported yesterday to be pre- pairing to move southeast towards l Casas Grandes, with the ostensible intention of joining in the pursuit of ] Villa, From the direction which army officers thought Gomez would take, ii

Complete information regarding the losses to the American troops or to the MeXicans at Parral had not reached Washington tonight. Secre- tary Baker informed President Will son that a brief dispatch to the war department said that according to unofficial reports one American cav alryman was killed and that five troops had used machine guns against the Mexicans.
 MT. Baker announced later that he had ordered General Funston to take any steps that might be necessary to prevent further trouble. When asked whether this might mean the enforced use of Mexican railroads for the movement of soldiers and supplies, he said General Funston was on the ground and would act in any emergency. The secretary expressed the hope, however that the trouble at Parral was purely local and did not presage further difficulties.
 General CarranZa, directing his en- bassy here to point out that the clash proved his contention that the pres ence of American troops in Mexico l is leading to situation which ! threatens to go beyond his control.
 telegraphed that many deaths had oc-
 cured on both sides.
 i Foreign Minister Aguilar in a dis patch sent before that from Gen
 eral CarranZa, said one American trooper was killed and several citi- | ZenS were wounded.
 Consul Garcia, the CarranZa agent
 at Fl Paso, wired the embassy that
