ceived IN the fertile brain Of the Rev

corresponding secretary OF the nation

quarter Of q century. DR.. Jordan trav-
eled the country over in n campaign
for funds with which to defray the

fort the board gave its hearty coop

nlteIy
After considerable testimony had
been introduced before the state rail.
way commission last week the hear
ing of the application OF carriers for
an increase in demurrage charges on
intrastate traffic in Nebraska was con-
tinued indefinitely. The carriers were
asked for much testimony which they
did not have and which cannot be col
lected for some time, SO the hearing
was postponed.
1t is alleged that the carriers ad-
NIT privately that they probably
should not have filed their applica-
ton relative to ~intrastate traffic when
the same question is pending before
the Interstate commerce commission.
The roads filed tariffs and a request
for increased demurrage with the in
terstate commerce commission. The
federal commission suspended the re-
quest and the tariffs and will hold a
hearing at a later date. Usually about
ten months time Is required to dis
pose of such a case before the inter
state body. When the interstate com
merce commission suspends tariffs In
such cases the burden of proof Is then
upon the carriers to prove their case.
Without a ruling on the question from
the federal body the carriers filed a
similar application with the Nebraska
state commission.
