Carriers May Change Rates
To Avoid Discrimination

Lincoln, May 3.-Where unjust
discrimination arises as between in
dividuals o. localities by reason OF
the absorption Of switching charges
in certain instances and not IN 9TH
crs under like circumstances. the
carrier may be required to remove
the discrimination by a change i'll
tariff schedule eliminating the
charge.
This is the opinion of the supreme
court in an appeal by the Missouri
Pacific Railway company from an
opinion of the State Railway COM
mission in case where the COM
pany under its tariff No. 4778 abb
sorbed the switching charges of car
load shipments in and out Ct Lin
coin. arising out or destined to what
It designated as competitive points
on its line. When. however, the
shipment arises at. or is destined to
stations reached exclusively W the
defendant Except in the case OF
brick or lime shipments) it refused
to absorb such switching charge.
The State Railway commission found
such charge to be unjust, discriml-
natory and unreasonable and -
dered the cancellation of that por-
ton of the tariff so providing.

Lincoln Bureau of The Omaha Bee
Kirk Equally Guilty
With Others Of Party
for Killing Officer
P. A. Barrows, Correspondent

Lincoln, May 5.-When several
persons are jointly engaged in re-
sisting police Officers who attempt
to place them under arrest and in
making such resistance use deadly
weapons, each individual who as
sists in their employment is held
to have intended the natural and
probable consequence of their use.
So the state supreme court holds
in an application of Burl c. Kirk
for a new trial. Kirk was found
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree by the district court Of Doug
las county.
Kirk, with others, robbed Jew
elry store in Omaha on January 80
1918. Officers were called and the
men were found with the jewelry
in a second-story bedroom. In the
attempt to arrest the robbers, Off
Ger Rooney of the Omaha force was
shot. There was no direct testi-
mony that Kirk fired the shot, but
the higher court holds he was equal
ly responsible with the man who
may have fired it. The other men
concerned, Martin, Stone and Will
liams are serving time in the peni-
tertiary for the deed.

Nebraska Now Ranks First
in Production of Alfalfa
Last Year This Forage Crop 1,583,72O Tons, Sold at
Present Market Price, $38 Ton, Worth Snug
Sum of $58,181,36O

Nebraska ranks first in the pro-
duction of alfalfa, and last year this
forage crop, l,5S3,720 tons, sold at
the present market price, $3S ton,
t. o. b., cars, Omaha, was worth the
snug sum of $58,l8l, 800.
Twenty years ago they told you
that alfalfa could not be grown in
Nebraska. or at least not to the ex-
tent that it would ever be a profit
able crop. The idea was that it was
plant, the growth of which was
adapted to the soil and the climatic
conditions of an irrigated area. As
a resulty-its home was looked upon
as being on the plains and in the
valleys of Colorado. Wyoming and
the states farther west.
A quarter of a century ago a few
farmers in the South Platte country
sowed small acreage of alfalfa and
the crop was a success from the
start. Later it was tried farther
north, and there it did we'll. Farm
ers scattered over the state heard of
the new forage plant and ! bought
small quantities Of the seed. sowing
it as an experiment. The experiment
was a success. and it was nor long
until Nebraska CAME to be looked
upon as possessing a soil and eli
mate well adapted to the growth OF
a plant that would furnish food for
man and beast.
Manager Thomas of the bureau OF
publicity of the Omaha Chamber OF
Commerce has compiled an array OF
figures, showing that last year the
tonnage OF alfalfa grown in the
United States aggregated 1865, 920
OF this enormous quantity, Ne
braska grew 1.583,720 tons, thus
placing the state at the head of the
list.
For years Colorado held first place
in the production of alfalfa, but last
year it dropped down a notch and
harvested but l, 407 $3.50 tons. In the
matter of production, Kansas ranks
third; California, fourth; Idaho
fifth, and Wyoming, sixth. Iowa

comes along in seventeenth. and
Minnesota, one of the rich and fer
tile states, in twenty-fourth place.
Even Rhode Island, according to
the figures compiled by Mr.. Thomas,
grows alfalfa, but as the state has
but limited area of land, conse-
quently the production is small, hut
700 tons being produced last year.
That alfalfa will grow anywhere
and under any soil, or climatic con-
ditions is borne out by the data
gathered by Mr.. Thomas. North Da-
kota last year grew 74,340 tonsn and
Louisiana, in the extreme south,
%. 300 tons of the forage plant.
Until a few years ago the pre-
sumption was that alfalfa when cut
and cured, was to be fed to animals
same as hay. Experiments Develop
ed the fact that for fattening pur-
poses there is no other food that is
its equal. Now it is. ground into
meal, mixed with a cheap grade of
molasses and pressed into cakes.
These cakes are, shipped to all parts
of the world, to become food for cat
| tie and hogs,
And relative to mills for convert
ing the dry alfalfa hay into animal
food for shipment to other states
and abroad, two of the largest in
the world are located in Omaha.
Their output amounts to thousands
Of tons annually and on their pay
rolls they are carrying a couple of
hundred men.
AS human food alfalfa is coming
into it's own and men who have CIV
en- the matter considerable study
predict that it will not be many
years until alfalfa flour will be on
sale in every grocery and provision
store in the country, and that in
some form, or another, it will be-
come part of the daily menu of rich
and poor alike.
Even now alfalfa flour is manu-
featured and has had considerable
sale. 1t is used in making some of
the high grades Of pastry. It is al
so used with a mixture # whea.
flour in bread and biscuit.

Republicans Prepare
To Invade Solid South
On Issue of League

WASHINGTON, D. c. - With
politics fast coming to the fore, Re-
publicans and Democrats are making
every effort to prepare for a test OF
strength in the congressional cleo
ton in the Ninth North Carolina dis
trict.
Interest centers in the fact that
the rejection of the treaty by the
senate probably will be one of the
main factors in the campaign ana
that the result will give political OBJ
servers some idea of how the coun-
try has accepted the senate action.
The election, set for December 16,
is to fill the vacancy caused by
resignation of Edwin Y. Webb, to
accept a federal judgeship. Repu b.
licans encouraged by recent victor
les in Oklahoma and Kentucky, will
make strenuous efforts to extend
their lines into the solid south, which
they claim is showing signs of break
ing. The Demo ats, evidently
alarmed by the election of a Re-
publican in an Oklahoma district that
is normally 5000 Democratic and by
the G. Q. P. sweep in Kentucky, are
preparing to send their best CAM
paigners into the district. The Re-
publicans have chosen as their can
didate, John N. Morehead, G. o. P,
state chairman; who represented the
district in congress for one term
before Webb's election.

AMERICAN DEAD
TO BE EXHUN1ED
DURING 1922

PARIS. - The $1,000 American
dead in France must be left in the
graves they now occupy until the
French are ready to eXhume their
own head. which, it is hoped, will be
before January 1, 1922.
The foreign office has promised to
consider the latest request of the
American government for the return
of it's fallen soldiers, but later the
following official announcement was
made:
ait has been definitely decided
that the allies who fell together for
the same cause should remain to-
gether in death until circumstances
permit of the returning of the bodies
to the families for whom they sac
rificed themselves"
The proposed law forbidding the
elimination of the soldier dead for
three years did not pass at the last
session of the chamber of deputies,
but the foreign office expects that it
will be adopted soon. This bill spec
ifies a delay in elimination Of three
years from the PRONUNCIATION of the
law, but it is expected that this Pc
Rod will be shortened. At the for
eign office it is said to be probable
that the elimination will commence
considerably before January, 1922.
Instructions that American soldier
dead inferred in France outside the
so-called zone of the armies" be
brought home as soon the arrange
ments are completed have been is
sued by Secretary Baker. About
1900 bodies lie outside the zone.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles c.
Pierce has been placed in charge OF
