Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 30.-W. J. Bryan
is today campaigning over the state of
Nebraska, this morning having begun
his week IS tour for prohibition. Drys
of both parties for state office and FOR
President Wilson. The next big fight,
he declared at Fullerton, where he spoke
shortly before noon, will be for national

Bryan has so far made no statement
regarding the charges made by Senator
Lodge relative to the presidents Is alleged
plan to send supplementary note along
with the Lusitania note to Germany and
the subsequent resignation of Bryan
from the cabinet. Whether he will dc
so later is considered doubtful.
Bryan is devoting about half his time
to the support of the prohibition amend
ment to the Nebraska constitution and
to urging the wiping out of party lines
and electing dryS-the "driest Of the

part of his speeches deal with nationa

CAR SHORTAGE TO
REMAIN WITH US
At WILL OF R0Al!
Commission Makes VoIumi
Gus Report and Some
Suggestions
RAILROAD Is ASKED TO
SAY WHAT IT WILL DO
Is Given Twenty Days To Do
This---NOthing Doing
Until Then

The Public Service commission has
rade public the result of its jnvestiga-
ion OF the intolerabe ear shortage and
its suggestions as to remedy. The
Southern Pacific took the ground that
it had plenty of ears for normal con
ditions, and that it was unable to get
cars sent east returned The commission
points out that the present conditions
were foreseen by the commission and
the attention of the 5. 2. called to them
III October of last year. 1t was urged to
take steps to prevent the present condi
tlOns, but did nothing.
1t appears from the roads showing it
is not lack Of finances that has prevent
ed it building more cars for i'll the last
four years, besides paying six per cent
dividends, it has created q surplus of
$+l,270, ,570.94.
The commission points out that the
system of car distribution is faulty, and
tnat shippers are negligent about load
ing cars
The report contains many tables, and
shows that the Southern Pacific has
never paid any attention to the recon-
mendations of the commission, and has
made little effort 10 relieve the situA-
tion. The company flatly denied that
Oregon is being Disseminated against
IN favor Of California, but its own fig
ures show most conclusively that it has
done so, and undoubtedly is still doing
so.
After full review of the situation
in which it is disclosed the Southern
Pacific has done nothing whatever to
Taiiaua condition,
cusion says:
THE question of the opening of the
Portland gateway to northern routes
was brought up ms q measure which
would afford relief. In this regard, the
company announced that while it was
believed it was doubtful if such action
would have any considerable bearing on
the question here under consideration
an interchange of this kind was looked
upon with favor and negotiations for
that purpose were now under way.
This action on the part of the re-
spondent is concrete illustration of
the desire, which was so apparent
throughout this investigation, to co.
operate in the solution of this problem
The commission takes this opportunity
TO tender to the company any assist
ance it may be able to lend in this be

In view of the earnest desire mani
Tested by the carrier to cooperate with
The commission and the shippers in the
solution of this problem, no formal ac
ton will be taken at this time other
than the submission to the company foi
their consideration and acceptance, OIL
rejection, of the following suggestions
and recommendations:

the company to compel the return OF
their equipment from connecting lines

MACKENSEN ALONE Is

Brandenburgers Gain and
Hold Position South Of the

London, Oct 30.-Falkenhayn's army
has been thrown back more than three
miles by the Rumanians in battle
north of Campolung, said a Petrograd
dispatch today.
The battle is continuing. The Teu-
tons have been reinforced and are des-
perately counter attacking seeking to
regain the lost ground. Other strong
Austro- German forces are attacking
northwest of Campolung
At nearly every point on the Transyl-
vanian border the Austro-German inva-
sion seems to have been blocked. The
latest official statements from Vienna
and Berlin claim some further progress
but apparently bear out Bucharest
claims that Falkenhayn S offensive has
been stopped at least temporarily. On
the northern front, the Teutons are ev-
erywhere being swept back against the
Transylvanian border and at some
places have driven across the frontier.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-President Wilson

This statement is in contradiction to
that given out recently by Frank H

states except Ohio, for Hughes.

mick said. "I find conditions ell over
the country improved over what they
were when was here two weeks ago
