two days to . week.

occupying farm just across the
road from the Dooley farm, declared
that the defendant told him few
days after her husbands funeral,
that she was very uneasy as to pos

'her father, w. ]. Trueblood, had
sent SIS to an attorney at their old

on the part of A. D. Dooley to have
the bodies Of his sons disinterred for

Grand Jury Will
Not Be Called in

Judges Say One May Be Call.
ed Later-County Commis.
sioners Are Opposed
To Expense.

Lincoln, Oct. lS.-(Special. y
Lancaster county judges at a meet
ing here tonight failed TO act i'm
mediately in compliance with a re-
quest Of Attorney General Clarence
A. Davis that grand jury be called
to investigate alleged wild cat
stock selling concerns which operat-
ed here and cost the people Of Ne
braska $l5,000,0O0.
mo doubt one will be called but
not right now until some details are
completed" presiding Judge E. E.
Clements said following the meeting.
Attorney General Davis, who with
c. Z. Matson, county attorney, at
tended the meeting made no conf
ment.
Board Decrys Jury.
Two hours before the scheduled
meeting of district judges was called
the Lancaster county board of COM
missioners passed resolution de-
crying the expense of grand jury
and favoring the payment of half the
expenses of the investigation by the
state.
This, the judges learned, would be
unlawful. Attorney General Davis
will pay whatever expenses he deems
lawful, but so far as giving Lincoln
bonus for permission to investi-
gate alleged criminal acts of some of
its citizens it cannot and will not be
done by the state of Nebraska, tine
commissioners learned following the
meeting Of judges.
Unfavorable Comment.
The surprising and sudden action
of the county commissioners oc-
casioned considerable unfavorable
comment here tonight, in view of the
action taken by the Douglas coun-
ty board and the district judges.
The whole-hearted support that
Douglas county officials gave the
grand jury there and the promptness
with which they met expenses to
clean out the class of citizens at
which the grand jury is aimed, didn't
put Lincoln's action toward one in a
very good light in the minds of some
of Lincoln's citizens who want pro-
moters prosecuted.

Gasoline Supply Ample
In Case of Railway Strike

New York, Oct. 18.-Representa-
tives OF the Standard Oil companies
in New York and other large oil
producers and refiners expressed the
belief that there are ample supplies of
gasoline to meet any possible lack of
railroad freight movements in the
event of strike.
The Atlantic seaboard has ample
gasoline, it was said, and the mid
dlewest would obtain its supplies
from the Chicago district. The Pa
cific coast, it was said, could draw
on the California district for almost
unlimited supplies and the south and
southwest would receive gasoline
from Texas and Oklahoma fields.

Des Moines, Oct. lS.-Attention
was concentrated on the freight rate
problem by middlewester states
governors and public officials who
met here today at the call OF Gov.
n. +. Kendall OF Iowa to consider
means OF reviewing agriculture and
business and diminishing unemploy-
ment.
1t was agreed that present trans
portation Charges made profitable
farming possible. Resolutions ex-
pressing this view and urging the
necessity Of speedy action by the In
terstate Commerce commission on
the pending western hay and grain
rate cases were prepared, but action
on them was held over until tomor-
low so that Cows. John ]. Blaine OF
Wisconsin, ]. A. o. Preus of Mime
sofa and Arthur NJ. Hyde of Mis-
souri,, whose attendance is expected
at tomorrow's session, may partici-
pate in what is done.
State Rights Ignored.
Similar unanimity was reached as
to the necessity of action by con-
gress in reaffirmation of state author
ity over state rates. In theory, it
was said, the transportation act
recognizes the jurisdiction OF state
commissions over state rates, but in
practice that jurisdiction is set aside
by rulings Of the Interstate Com
merce commission.
1t was intimated that the confer
cnce probably would adopt resolu-
ton calling for an amendment of the
Esch transportation law, clearing up
the disputed point. ~.
Another question on which the
conference showed warm feeling
was that of intereskkharges and the
socalled deAation p0licy followed by
the federal reserve banks.
Say Farmers Penalized.
Agriculture was declared to have
been unduly penalized by excessive
pressure for liquidation under Pc
culiarly difficult conditions. The
necessity for lower interest rates and
longer terms for farm credit was
emphasized. It was announced that
the conference probably would put
itself on record to this effect.
Governor Kendall presided. Those
present were Governors S. R. Nc
Kelvie of Nebraska, w. H. McMas-
ters of Sopth Dakota, Clyde NJ.
