Ruling Predicts
Rate Reduction
Freight Drop Between Here
and East of Illinois-Indiana
Line Expected.

A general reduction In freight rates
between Omaha and points east OF
the IllinoisIndiana line was forecast
Tuesday by c. E. Childe, manager of
Chamber of Commerce traffic bureau
This prediction Is based on word
reaching here today from Washing
ton that the interstate commerce COM
mission has just held that class and
commodity freight rates from Indiana
cities to Omaha and other Missouri
valley cities We're relatively higher
than the rates from Illinois cities to
the same destinations, thus suhjeeting
Indiana manufacturers and shippers
to unjust and unreasonable rates
and giving Illinois manufacturers and
shippers undue preference.
Ne are now preparing a complaint
attacking freight rates between Oma-
ha and the east" said Childe. This
decision Is likely to mean "A general
reduction between Omaha and all ter
ritory east of the IndianaIllinois
state line. We intervened in the Or
iginal complaint filed by Indiana in

Assessor Likely
toEscapeC Charge
Garage Man Won't Prosecute
Klaver-Beal Holds Investi-
CATION Conference.

County Attorney Henry Beal inves-
tigated the Sam Klaver affair Tuesday
morning in a conference in his office
with County Assessor Counsman,
Welfare Worker Ida Levin and two
emploves OF Counsman's office, Morris
Potash and Joe Stolinski.
The four were present at the gar
age of Herman Nachschoen, Seven
teenth and Cass streets. last week
when klaver, then a deputy assessor,
was accused of soliciting money from
Nachschoen last October.
They corroborated their story be
fore Beal. But. as Nachschoen re-
fuses to give any more information,
1t Is not likely that any charge will
be preferred against klaver. Mach
schoen, summoned to the county at
torney's office Monday morning, de-
olined to give any information then,
but said he would return at and tell
all about it. He did not come back
and, when called by telephone, said
he had engaged attorneys, who ad-
vised him to say nothing.
Counsman displayed r statement
signed with Klaver's name, which
says. Il, Sam Klayer. hereby swear
that Mr.. Counsman had always been
on the square and has never received
one cent of me In all his life nor
made any demand for anything. and
consider him fair and square to
everybody"
The statement was signed at the
home of Mrs. Levin, 211 North Twen-
ty-thlrd street, last Sunday, when
Klaver's mother came there and
charged Mrs. Levin with telling of
klaver's alleged collection from the
garage man.
Mrs. Levin said she considered that
she only did her duty as a good clti-
zen In bringing to Counsman's atten-
ton what Nachschoen had told her re-
ga riding klaver.

Dallas, Tex, May 1S-Claiming
that the competition OF 1000 whole

nevolent packer in the manufacture

j. r. McLaurin of Jacksonville, Fla,

here, directed most OF his annual ad-
dress against the efforts of Armour

cease handling unrelated commodi-
ties.
President McLaurin declared that
the grocers' association was deter

forts of the California Cooperative
Canneries to annul the consent de-
cree and the recent intervention of
the packers named to repudiate the
consent decree.
Armour & Co. and Swift 4
Co. present broadly the argu-
ment that they are more efficient
than the wholesale grocers and that
therefore they should be permitted to
continue in the distribution of the un-
related food Items he said. Carried

NAVY TO LEASE HUGE AIRPORT
 FOR TRADE LINE
Commercial Shenandoah Must Be Constructed,
 Contract Says
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Lease ol the Cape May airport to a commercial company has been authorized by Sec retary Wilbur on condition that the leasing company will begin construction of n rigid airship within one year from the date of taking possession. The lease will be awarded on competitive bidding and will be revOkable at any time, but will carry with it the option of renewal at the discretion of the naval authorl- ties.
 Other Conditions
 Other conditions to be set forth Ill the proposed lease will include main tenance and repair of such buildings and facilities at Cape May as are used by the leasee, and protection Of other buildings on the reservation which are to be closed by the department; the gov, ernment to be protected against all claims that may arise through the oc- cupatiOn of the station operation of the station. including the necessary heat and light to be carried on without ex- pense to the government the rgiht to re- tain such portions as now are used by the coat guard to be held by the gov ernment; the airship company to maln- tain and operate the station "as an avla- tion base"
 Decision to lease the station was reached as a result of several informal inquiries from organizations which identified themselves as interested m commercial aviation. Further details upon which bids may be submitted will be announced soon, the department said.
 Naval officials were not prepared to- day to discuss the probable specifications of the airship which would be required under the lease terms. They said how ever, it probably would follow in gen eral the type of the Shenandoah, being of the Zepplin design, although of smaller capacity. The American built Zepplin, representing a cost of nearly $2,5oO,OO0, was considered too expen' give a handicap to place upon pioneer operating company. Naval engineers who supervised plans for the Shenan doah were under instructions today tC prepare and submit recommendations iI this regard to Secretary Wilbur.

 Deaths

Fight TO Prevent More LOOney OaS
 Deaths
 ELIZABETH, N. J., Oct. 3O.-As medical specialists continue their fight to save more employees of the Bayway plant from death, Prosecutor A. J. Davis of Union county, New Jersey, urged the health authorities to stop the sale of the so-called ethyl gasoline, which has been treated with tetra-ethyl lead, until chemists can determine whether use of it is dangerous.
 Davis has asked the prosecuting off cer at Dayton, Ohio, where the new treat in fluid is sent for a perfecting process, to obtain samples of the fluid as it is received at Dayton from Eliza beth. The prosecutor has confined his warnings to the county, he explained, be- cause he is not interested in the per fected product outside of Union county. The Bayway plant, where the fatalities were caused, remains closed.
 A new treatment, evolved by physi- cians to check the progressive nature of the mental and physical afflictiOn caused by ''looney gas" failed for the first time when Herbert Fuson, last of the five original serious cases taken to New York, died and brought the total fatali- ties to five.
 Various inquiries have been begun into the strange, gruesOme case. The federal government, through the bureau of mines, has sent men here to investigate, | and Prosecutor Davis is gathering facts to present to grand jury.
