Stebben of Omaha
Gives Testimony in
Regard to the UP

TOPEKA. Kan. March Financial
matters concerning the Union Pacific rail-
way were reviewed today in the hearing
before the Kansas Public Utilities COM
mission. in which railroads in Kansas
are asking for an increase to 3 cents a
mile I'm the intrastate passenger rate
S. c. Stebben of Omaha assistant to the
Union Pacific auditor, testified that the
rQad had paid 10 per cent dividends on
rs common stock in eleven of the last
thirteen years. In 1914, he said, the div
idends dropped to per cent II was
brought out that in addition to paying
10 per cent dividends the Union Pacific
had in thirteen years, 1902 to 1915. added
s60.00O,O00 to its surplus.
The Union Pacific had invested money
in other railroads, Mr.. Stebben testified.
including the Oregon Short Line. Oregon
& Washington Navigation company. New
York Central and Illinois Central. A
summary of the annual report of the
Union Pacific submitted by Mr. Stebben
showed 10 per cent dividends for oil but
two years. per cent for those years;
100000 added to the surplus; special

U-BOats Sow Mines
Off Dover, Declare
Maloja Survivors

LONDON, Mar. THAT German sub
marines have been sowing mines off
Dover was the belief expressed. today by
Ralph Foster Of Kansas and other sur
vivors of the Maloja disaster. including
some of the officers Of the ship.
The fact that number Of disasters
have occurred in the neighborhood of
Dover during the last two Sundays is
considered in some quarters in London as
possible evidence that German subma-
rines. knowing that a number of boats
clear for foreign ports Saturdays. have
taken advantage of that fact to creep
in as near the coast as possible in the
night time and discharge cargoes OF ex-
ploslves.
In the opinion OF Mr.. Foster. hfeboats
are virtually useless where vessels strike
mines. as the ships almost invariably
sink quickly. and because the crews are
insufficiently drilled for quick action and
the boats cannot be lowered when a ship
heels over on its side as the Maloja did.
Mr.. Foster had a thrilling experience.
He was afloat in the icy water and on
upturnsd boats an hour before he was
rescued by a trawler.

>CRIES AT THE IDEA
OF BEING ABSENT
little Lad Did Not Fear Sickness,
but Wanted His School Rec
ord Kept Clean.
MAY HAVE SPECIAL RULING

one Of the tragedies OF boys life was
enacted in all Of it's terribleness Tuesday
afternoon at the Mason school. During
the regular examination OF the children
by school nurse one OF the boys OF the
seventh Il class was discovered to have
a bad headache and slight fever. Off
cially he was sick" and. according to
the health rules. should be sent home
and not allowed TO return until he pre-
scented a certificate OF good health from
n physician.
The boy was Charles Rees. Up TO that
tragic hour he had not been absent or
tardy this school year. He was striving
for one OF the perfect attendance badges
which are given at the Mason school at
the close of each school year. He scored
perfect attendance record last school
year. and was we'll on the way this year.
When the nurse brought the boy into
s-Principal Ohristisncys office his chief
concern was not OF mis- condition but OF
his attendance record. The nurse asked
the principal II absence under such cir
cumstances would mar the boys record,
end the principal reluctantly replied: IAN
absence is an absence" Then Charles
broke down and cried right before the
nurse and principal 1t was more than
his little heart could stand.
It may be that a special ruling may be
obtained for this case. but the principal
is doubtful. In any event, 1t was real
tragedy for Charles Rees.
