THREE JUDGES WILL
HEAR RATE DISPUTE
Railroads and State Attorneys
Agree to Present Arguments
at Sioux Falls Saturday.
SANBoRN SUGGESTS PLAN

Following suggestion made by
Judge Walter Sanborn OF St. Paul of
the circuit court of appeals, presiding
judge in this district, who was in
Omaha for a conference with other
federal judges, attorneys representing
seven railroads, Assistant Attorney
General Roe and Attorney F. P.
Smith, representing the State Rail-
way commission. met in the local fed
eral court room and agreed to present
the freight tariff case at hearing be-
fore three judges in United States
district court at Sioux Falls, S. D.
next Saturday.
The agreement is in line with the
action of the traffic officials of the
railroads appearing before the State
Railway commission at Lincoln
Thursday, and demanding that the
commission put into effect at once
new freight distance tariffs, suppressed
ing Nebraska class rates in conform
ity with the recent order of the Inter-
state Commerce commission. The
commission refused and set date for
hearing-September %.
Would Ask for Injunction.
At that time, however, the railroad
officials would not agree to hearing,
presenting petitions in federal court
asking injunctions against the railway
commission, the attorney general and
several shippers of the state to pre-
vent them from interfering with the
proposed mileage rates or attempting
to use the old classified rates. Ii was
announced that they would ask for a
temporary restraining order in federal
court here yesterday morning
1t was pointed out by Judge San
born that if the case were presented
here ii would be heard before one
judge, whereas at Sioux Falls, similar
cases will be heard before three
judges who are experts on freight
rate matters. h@
The railroads which filed Injunction
petitions at Lincoln and the attorneys
representing them at the agreement

Stephens has voluntarily given her
self up to juvenile authorities, after
three weeks spent among unsavory
companions. and has requested that
She be sent to the state industrial

Elsie has been ward OF juvenile
authorities for more than a year.
-Four weeks ago She 1eaped the
fence at the Riverview Detention
home, clad only in her full-length
apron, the same as other girl wards
and for three weeks was wanderer
on the streets, evading juvenile au'
thorities at every turn. According to
her own admissions, she was har-
bored by group of men who have
made of her a toy. After spending
three weeks in quarters provided for
her she was induced to accompany
one OF the men to a small town n

AFTER the girl had been at lib.
erty for a month, buffeted about by
i'll winds, she decided, while in Mis-

Help to Shippers.
Right here at the Omaha Office we
do a great work for the business
houses and shippers.
Every day shippers call up to ask
what the temperature will be between
Omaha and some given point during
given time. If it is going to be too
hot or too cold to ship the goods they
have in mind we are able to tell them
and they delay the shipment until the
temperature is safe. Single shippers

Plans for the sending of delegates to the national convention of the Advertising clubs were discussed at yesterday S luncheon of the Birmingham Ad club at the Hillman hotel at 1 o'clock The off, ficials of the local club hope to send a strong delegation from Birmingham to the convention, which will be held at Philadelphia in June, and vigorous efforts to raise the necessary funds will be made.

No Ads Ad This Day." The other is in two reels and it's title is, You Want It."
