Fitzhugh Lee Charges Political Fraud
 In Rate Decision

After years of inaction in the in- terest of the public, Messrs. Cooper and Cafllard have, since political campaign exposed the~fact that their record was the cond,mned record of sam Kennedy, begun to Issue orders and interviews to. make the people forget the past and give them four more years to follow their private business and draw a large salary from the tax payers. M
 The last desperate effort to deceive Is the order to reduce passenger fares am advised by reliable authority this order was submitted by Mir. Cooper to Sam Kennedy and Geo. w. Jones, attorney, L. & N. R. R. for their approval before being proposed to the Alabama Public Service Commission, or passed upon by them. Cooper and Gaillard knew when that order was issued that tho United States Supreme Court had already held that tho reduction could not be made, topinion delivered by Chief Justice Taft) and concurred in by the full court.
 They know that they have perpe- trated political fraud by entering an order that has tendency to deceive the public, by raising in the public mind an expectation of benefit that the public can not soon if ever realize. and when 1t Is too late to remedy the matter. but after they have had the benefit of the fraud, they may ga, smilingly, it worked so far as we were concerned"
 Before entering tho order. which was not prepared by them. they had called to their attention like efforts in other states that had failed un- der orders of the Interstate Com merge Commission, as follows:

public relief from prevailing high rates both as 70 railroad traffic and utility rates, wisdom compels me to take the position that the Commits sion ought always to act with reas- enable assurance that 1t can make its orders and decrees effective in be- half of the people and that same can not be immediately set aside when made. For the Commission to do otherwise. means to put upon the Att torrcy General of Alabama, in all srch cases as the present. the burden of defending In the courts an order of this Commission which the Supreme Court of the United States. has just lately In the Wisconsin Passenger Fares Case, declared cannot be de- tended. and the result can only be to involve our state in very expensive litigation which the taxpayers in the end will have to pay. and from which they will obtain no benefits.
 Tn view of the recent acts of ths Associate Commissioners relative to securing publicity by the Commis- sion's acts for campaign purposes, I am persuaded that this order was prepared and urged by them more for the purpose of creating favorable political opinion than for desire to be of real service to the public. There arc so many matters in which the authority of the Commission Is unquestioned and not subject to the control of any Federal commission. in which the Associate Commissioners could have brought relief to the pub lie by cooperating with the presi- dent of the Commission in the matter of rates of utilities. such as the Southern Bell Telephone Company. the Alabama Power Company valua- tion. and others. that their actions in this matter appear to be more con- spicuous as political propaganda.

I .fally explained my position in rerard to this matter as herein outlined and in order that my post tfon regarding this matter may be fully understood. direct that the above statement be entered upon the minutes immediately following the ordA issue cd in said case.

PRIMARY POLLS IN NEBRASKA
 FOR ALL TUESDAY
Three Parties Vote For State Candidates-Many Races
 Complicated by Progress Sive Movement

Omaha, Neb., July 15.-Repub- licans, democrats and progressives will go to the polls in Nebraska on July IS to elect candidates for their respective parties for Unised States senator, governor, practically every office that is elective in the state at large and a full congressional del- egation. Prohibitionists have candi- dates for two offices.
 Multiplicity of candidates, uncer- tainty as to how the women will vote. and the entrance into the Nebraska political arena of third party, the progressives. have left politicians guessing.
 Senator Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock Is seeking nomination on .he democrat ic ticket to succeed himself and he Is opposed by Anthony T. Monahan of Omaha and J. O. Shroyer of Humboldt. Senator Hitchcock has announced his policy of being against the tariff and other measures sponsored by the national administration at Washing ton. MT. Shroyer was drafted by dry dtInoCTdts, dCcoTulnE to F. A. High. of Lincoln. president of the state anti saloon league. whose announcement has given this race touch of the prohibition issue, although Senator Hitchcock has stated that he con. siders the prohibition, as well as the suffrage question. settled issues.
 Six Republicans
 Nix prominent Nebraskans will con- test for the republican senatorial nomination. They are Albert B. Hefferis, of Omaha. present congress. man from the second district; R. R Howell. of Omaha. member of the re- publican national committee from Nebraska and elected to this position two years ago in a state wide pri. mary; c. H.

 nomination for governor by J. N. Norton of Polk, Dan B. Butler of Omaha and will N. Maupin. of Gering. On the republican side the race is be- tween Albert H. Byrum, of Blooming ton. Adam McMullen of Beatrice; Charles G. Randall of Randolph and George w. sterlin, of Omaha.
 Race Complicated
 Tho different attitudes that prevail in the progressive camp complicate somewhat the race for governor on their ticket Some progressiyes stand for fusion with the older parties, while others are opposed to such aos ton. As result the party. which was organized recently at Krand Island, has for one of it's candidates. J. N. Norton, of Polk. who is also running on the democratic ticket. w. J. Tay- Tor of Merna is the other progressive candidate for governor and has an- nounced that he Is opposed to having anything to do with either of the major parties.
 JroEressfve Democrats. 4
 A similar situation exists in four of tho six congressional districts where democratic candidates are also running on the progressive ticket. Under the Nebraska law, however. 8 candidate in, the primary. running on two tickets, If defeated in a major party contest. cannot run In the fol- lowing general election As . nom inee on the minor ticket. unless the vote he polls In tho minor contest is greater than. that which he receives In tho major party race.
 The names of three women will ap- pear on the various ballots. Two are seeking congressional nomination. They are Mrs. F. Lucia Barton, of Lincoln in the first district, running on the prohibition ticket and Mrs. Irene c. Buell., of Ashland in the fourth district on the democratic ball lot. Mrs. Emma Hanlin Paul, of Har- yard seeks the progressive nomination of lieutenant governor.
 The only. candidate. other than Mrs. Barton. of the prohibition party is John M. Johnson of University place who is running for lieutenant gover- nor.

HOW TO BUILD A BIRD HOUSE. From, inc nestuner

The late summer and early fall is the time in which to begin to culti- vate the friendship of the birds whose presence will add so much next spring to the beauty of your garden. First of all. this Is the season in which bird houses should be erected, for birds shun perfectly new home and nrefer one which has weathered the storm of winter. Save In the case of martin houses. which are often erected on poles. they are best erected in trees. not too near the house, and should face the east and south. They should be set up perpendicularly, or. perhaps, with the top leaning little forward. Be sure to putsthem as far as possible out of the reach of cats.

 Washington. July 15.--He has been in Washington the past week-the man who knows more of human foi- bles and frailties and troubles and joy than any other person under the sun He is the man who opened all the mail In England during the war. He is old "Opened By the Censor" himself And mighty fine man, at that. If anyone had to open'-your let ter to your wife or your husband or your business associate or your sweetheart you would have voted unanimously for Frank V. Worthing ton.
 Unquestionably there was no more difficult task in all the war to deal with than the postal censorship In England, but so well was 1t handled by Mir. Worthlngton, that when the United States came into the war he was asked by us to take over our censorship of all mail for continental Europe passing through England. That was the highest tribute which could be paid the British censor, for during the early years of the war there was much grumbling and dis content in this country over mail de- lays supposed to have been caused by the British.
 Not All Mail Opened
 Of course 1t Is only In theory that Mir. Worthington opened all the mail. And it was only in theory that any censor opened all the. mail. There wasn't time for that. It was neces- sary most of tho while to select a bag here and there and accept it as typical. But take 1t from the writer. the British missed mighty few of fhat,1 Tha task of orranfxiup fhe postal censorship was something enormous and it was here that the Worthington genius shone at It's best. Oddly enough he came all the way from South Africa to London to do the job. For years he was one of | tho native mmissioners for north ern Rhodesia. He soon headed for England when the war broke out and became deputy chief postal cen- sor. Today he is regarded as the greatest authority on postal censor the two Britishers sent for by Pres ident Wilson when the latter was visiting the King at Buckingham m Palace to be thanked for their in- valuable assistance to the United States government. The other was Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, head of the British naval intelligence and with all due respect one of the wisest old birds who ever wore uni platform advocating the curtailment of campaign expenses and the publi- cation before election of expense ac- counts by candidates
 Harry Clay Smith, Cleveland's ne- gro editor. was one of the last to enter the race. Friends of Secretary of State Harvey c. Smith charge that the Cleveland negro was induced to enter the race by opponents to their candidate, who hope to split Judge Smiths vote through the similarly
 of names on the ballots. The Cleve' land negro opposed Judge Smith for the nomination for secretary of state l two years ago. ff

NATIONS DJgS<> ,R ULTIMATUM
TO CHIPS : zMANDING RELEASE
G 81 FOREIGNER CAPT1VES

PEKINCf, Nov. to.-(U. P)-Lrhe
United States. France, England, Italy
and Sweden today presented an ulti-
matum giving China one week in
which to release the ten foreigners
held captive by bandits. If she does
not accede the five nations promised
to advertise China to the world as an
irresponsible nation dominated by ban
dts.
The bandits are holding the prison.
ers and demand an admission of TO-.
600 of their number to the national
army. They notified the Peking gov
ernment that if force is used to rescue
the foreigners they will be treated as
hostages and be placed in the front
line trenches or murdered outright.
The general belief is that official Chi
ma will be unable to effect the rescue.
