Admits Reorganization
Under Way.

Fremont, Neb., July l8,-(Special
Telegram. )-According to G. w.
Williams, secretary OF tn Wells-Ab-
bott-Nieman Milling company OF
Schuyler, Neb., previous reports as to
the condition of the concern and the
future prospects have been badly
garbled. Mr.. Williams is in sole
charge of the plant at Schuyler at
present.
He stated that the affairs of the
company are in the hands of a COM
mittee composed of holders of pre-
ferred stock and Mr.. Clarkson of the
Peters Trust company, as a pre-
liminary to a reorganization. He de-
nied the statement that Mr.. Wells of
New York City, who is now in
France, had been selected to assume

The mills were shut down on
Saturday night, he said, because of a
scarcity of old wheat. The company
has orders for at least Today run
for flour made from old wheat and
a number of carloads are expected
today or tomorrow, which will en-
able the mills to reopen Wednesday
morning.
N. E. Fuller started the mill more
than 50 years ago and operated it
for some time. After Chauncey Abb
bott, sr., assumed charg of the busi-
ness it began to flourish and later
Wells and Nieman were added to
the firm. These owners are now
dead and their widows hold a ma
jority of the stock. 1t is expected
that it will be several weeks before
reorganization plans are perfected.

Washington, July l8.-Estimates
of the amount of wheat sown in II

The estimates were based upon re-
ports from Belgium, Bulgaria, Po-
land, Roumania, Czecho-Slovakia,
Algeria, Morocco, Spain, France,
England, Italy, Luxemburg. Nor
way, Tunis, Canada, India and the
United States. Comprehensive esti-

Crops in France are suffering from
lack of rain.
Climatic, conditions in Germany
have been favorable for growing
crops. The reserve of grain in that
country is sufficient to last until the
rev crops are harvested.
Showers and light rains have i'm
proved conditions in the United
Kingdom, but the quantity of rain
was not nearly what was needed. In
the southern hemisphere crop con-
ditions have. been reported favorable.
Rains have been reported in Aus
tralia and prospects for the coming
crops continue favorable. Reports
from Argentina indicate the crops at
present are badly in need of rain.

Will Temporary
Rate Raise Suit
Omaha Tram Co.?
Some Watchers Hint That
Street Car Concern Might
Drop Permanent Increase
Request for Temporary.

Lincoln, July lS.-(Special.)-
Will the Omaha and Council Bluffs
Street railway company drop its ap-
plication for a permanent increase if
the state railway commission grants
it the temporary increase it has
asked?
Getting temporary increases and
then getting them extended for an
indefinite period has been success
full plan carried out by several
large corporations recently.
The Northwestern Bell Telephone
company went before the commits
sion six months ago and under a
showing of absolute necessity" was
given permission to charge its
patrons a 10 per cent surcharge.
The same tactics were pursued by
the Lincoln Telephone and Tele-
graph company.
Hard Luck" Stories.
In the last month both COM
panies with further hard luck"
stories have appeared before the
commission and obtained continua-
ton of the surcharge. At the same
time they asked to increase their
person-to-person calls IS per cent.
A decision on the latter proposed
increase is expected soon.
Then, there is the story Of the
T Npytr
rings much the same. This COM
pany went before the commission
with story of losses several
months ago and asked for temporary
increase to an Scent fair. 1t was
granted.
A week ago the state railway
commission granted another tenn
porary continuance of the Scent fare
and the people of Lincoln, accus-
toned now to the Scent fare, didn't
protest.
The Omaha and Council Bluffs
Street Railway company first went
before the commission with figures
galore on their investment, net
and gross revenue, depreciation and
other items synonymous with cor
poration life and asked for a per-
manent increased fare.
Asks Temporary Increase.
Then, suddenly it jumped in with
a pressing, insistent plea for tem-
porary increase to save it from al
legged heavy losses and an order on
this application will be issued soon
by the commission.
Close observers of corporation af-
fairs as they are handled are won
dering whether eventually the COM
pany--won't drop the application for
permanent increase and endeavor
from time to time to get the tenn
porary increases continued as sis
ter corporations have done so sue
cessfully recently.
The Omaha company today filed
report with the commission in
which it was shown by the COM
pany's figures that its June 1920
transportation revenue was $312, 166.-
50, while its revenue for June, 1921,
was $2o6, 1921, a decrease of $16,-
