ough; William j. Richters, of Mill
town and Thomas s.. James. of Hell
meta

John Kirkpatrick, Thomas Brown,
Fred DeVoe, Thomas Hagerty. The
question of Judge Days legal right
under the new laws to grant these
renewals resulted in his delaying ac-
ton on the applications until Lawyer
Monroe was given a chance to pre-
sent his side of the a sc. The Anti
Saloon League counselor was late In
arriving at court but the discussion
got under way shortly before noon.
James Rogan, of Rogan's Corner.

of his inn and tavern license by
Judge Daily. Rogan was represented

of a license for the same
place, had his request denied, his

Communicated, but delivered to
consignees, in view of pressing
necessities. He had conference
yesterday with Traffic Director
Chambers, who advised Congress
man Kinkaid to take up the matter
at once with Hale Holden in Chi
cago. Today the congressman from
the Sixth district was advised to
notify his correspondents in Bridge

diately to the railroad representa-
tives at these points, with state
ment of existing conditions.
Congressman Kinkaid was in
formed that the same rule as to coal
shipments was in force today as
during the war; that the railroad
would have first call over coal ship
ments and that public utilities and
domestic uses would follow in the
order named.

Sympathy.

Washington, Nov. Vice Presi-

making short address and shaking
hands with the delegates. The visit
came as a surprise at a moment
when the labor delegates were put

Frances Blue Blood
Combines to Battle
High Cost Of Living

Paris, Nov. with the view to
breaking the prohteers' ring that
has been holding Paris in its greedy
claws, large number of French
aristocrats have formed a,"combine"
along cooperative lines selling
everything imaginable, from hairpins
to mansions.
The society amounts to defensive
alliance of Frances blue blood
against the high cost of living. The
committee in charge consists of
six countesses, three baronesses and
two marquis, who have sent out a
letter to all French men and women
of the nobility stating that the high
prices make it virtually impossible
for the upper class" to exist and
that, therefore, the last resort is an
aristocratic union. "The new
poor" the letter states, cannot pos
sibly compete with the newly
RICH" some of whom are formally
the servants of members of the new
union

DOUBT If LAWS
COULD CONTROL
The PROF|TEER
Joint Legislative Committee
Meets to Consider Recon-
mending Special Session
to Governor.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7.-(Special.)
According to J. H. Shroyer, well
known organizer of the Farmers
union, the legislature could pass
laws to prevent prohteering, but he
did not think it would.
This was his opinion given at the
meeting of the joint legislative COM
mittee held in representative hall
this afternoon to take up the matter
of prohteering and the ACCESSIBILITY
OF calling special session to pass
laws to punish those who appear to
be making more than they have a
right to do.
-Four Members Present.
Only four members of the COM
mittee were present. All three
members of the house committee,
Mclaughlin of Hall, Purcell of Gus
ter and Harden of Harlan county,
were present, but Chairman Neal OF
the senate was the only one present
representing that body. Taylor of
Custer, who was responsible for the
naming of the committee, was not
present at this meeting, nor was he
present at the former meeting.
Several speakers talked upon the
subject, some of them offering sug-
gestions as to methods which should
be used. Mr.. Scudder of the 1900"
ranch, Kearney; Charles Graf, Mr..
Shroyer, c. ]. Gustafson, Professor
Filley Of the state farm, E. M. Pol
lard and several others were among
the speakers, but while offering
suggestions very few of them ap-
peared to have enough confidence in
their plan to favor special session.
Ohio Has a Law.
Chairman Neal of the committee
stated that the committee had had
some correspondence with other
states and had discovered that Ohio
had a law which the courts had
upheld which restricted the storage
OF certain food products over GER
tain time. Another letter said that
the compelling of all handlers Of
food products and other commodi-
ties to place plainly upon the goods
the cost price and sale price had
had the effect of helping matters in
some places, notably, Washington,
D. G.
The committee will consider the
matter thoroughly before making

and concord and friendship and
common human sympathy"
The vice president objected to
referring to legislation in the inter-
est of the tailoring class" or any
other class, saying, Il object to
classes in world where God made
man." He proceeded to classify
legislation into two groups, the first
being that which lacks the support
of the people and therefore creates
trouble and turmoil, and the sec
ond, or successful sort, which
seeks to crystalline into the law of
the land the public opinion of the
country" His closing statement was
wish that golden mean" might
be reached in the conference after
radicals" and CONSERVATIVES" had
expressed their views.

Hastings (Neb.) Shuts
Down on Use of Coal

Hastings, Neb.. Nov. 7.-(Special.)
With only eight days coal sup
ply against complete suspension
of water and electric light service
the city took control of the local dis
tribution of coal, ordered stores
closed at 5 p. nj. daily, except Satur-
day, limited lighting to one lamp in
a home, and prohibited delivery Of
coal except on proof of actual need.
There is about 1000 tons of coal in
local yards, and with the restrictive
measures enacted today it is believed
the city can get through the crisis
caused BY the strike without serious
harm. Hospitals exhausted their
supply today, but will be allowed
coal as needed.

Suspect Beaver Killing

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 7,-(Specia)
Destruction of property by beaver
is one of the problems which Secre-
tary of Agriculture Stuhr has to
solve. Applications for permits to
kill the animals can only be issued
when it is shown that the destruc-
ton of property is serious.
A new application is being pre-
pared which requires that the
amount of damage must be given
and the number of beaver killed
after the permit is granted rbust be
made before the permit expires.
Beaver skins are now bringing
high prices and the secretary wants
to know is the increased applications
for permits to kill the animals have
anything to do with the value of the
hides.
