State Live Stock
Transport Law is
Declared Void

Lincoln, Neb., Dec 9.-The Ne
braska law requiring railroads to
transport live stock in shipment at
an average Of eighteen miles an hour
on main lines and fourteen miles an
hour on branch lines less than IFS
miles in length was today declared
unconstitutional by the state supreme
court.
The ruling came in the form of
decision on three cases against the
Northwestern railroad, consolidated
and appealed from Brown, Dawes and
Holt counties. The shippers had OBJ
tanned judgments for delays in ship
ping stock from South Omaha out
into the state.
The opinion of the court declares
the law unreasonable, if applied with
out exception, as it Vas. The law
was passed in 1905 and amended four
wears later.

With Pamphlet of
Election Figures

Lincoln, Dec. 9.-(Specal. BE
lieving that there should be reform
wherever it is needed, Secretary of
State Charles Pool has inaugurated
new idea in the publishing Of the off
cial sheet of the election. Instead OF
having it printed on long sheet four
or five feet one way and eighteen
inches the other, the secretary has
had it complied in pamphlet form and
therefore is entitled to the thanks and
praise of the millions of people who
have heretofore been provoked to
harsh words and explosive adjectives
whenever they have attempted to get
information from the long sheet and
have tried to follow the line of figures
clear across the page.
As the official vote is prepared now,
it is source of joy to peruse it and
is almost as interesting as one Of
Charles Q. De Frances expositions
on How the Nebraska Election Bal

U. 5. FLAG IS CONSlGN-
 ED TO MELTING POT
Flag Burning is Preceded by Services in Church-EpiscO- pal Minister Characterizes as Most Damnable Business"

New York, June 1.-An American flag and the colors of many other na- tions were burned tonight in a melt ing pot suspended on a tripod in the yard in the rear of Reverend Bouck Whites church at the social revo- lution. The ceremony" was con- ducted by Albert Hinkel, introduced as an anarchist. After the colors had been destroyed, Henkle unfurled the banner of international industrialism.
 The flag burning was preceded by services in the church at which one of the speakers was the Reverend Mercer Greene Johnson, rector of the Trinity Protestant Episcopal church, lat Newark, N. J., who recently re- signed because he said some of his vestrymen wanted him to run his church like grocery store.' He strongly disapproved of he flag burning part of the program, and left the church rather than witness what he characterized as most damnable business.
 After the church scrv1ces, at which prayer was offered by several young men, some of them declared they were theological students. White an- nounced that the congregation would adjourn to the rear yard and witness the birth of internationalism.
 When the congregation had sur rounded the melting pot, a speaker declared no moment could be more suspicious for the merging of all the nations into the international com monwealth Heinrich Weber, who spoke in German, renounced the flag of his fatherland, and cast it into the flames, while those around him chant ed; If die we must, we'll die for our God. Rise revolutionists."
 Weber was followed by persons who claimed to be natives of Great Britain, Japan, Italy, Sweden, Rou- mania and Greece. who cast the col ors of their countries into the melting pot. Then came Henkel carrying an American flag. Residents of nearby buildings who witnessed the proceed ings hissed as Henkel broke the staff to which the stars and stripes were attached and plunged the flag into the fire.
 White will be tried in magistrates court tomorrow on a charge of desc crating the American flag.
