STAND PAT OH RATE,

SAYS WILLIS REED

.

Nebraska Attorney General Says

Lines Are Not Entitled to

Increase Now.

NO MORE THAN IN YEAR 1910

i . .' ttj i

(From a Staff Correspondent.)

WASHINGTON, June 28. (Spe

cial Telegram.) Attorney General

Reed of Nebraska, In his argument

before the Interstate Commerce com

mission opposing the rate Increases

In western classification territory,

asked for by the railroads In this

territory, advanced an entirely new

thought with relation to the desired

advance. '

Using L. W. WetUlnsTs findings In be'

half of the railroad. Mr. Reed said, tak

ing the Wettllng report as a starting

point:' "In 1910 It waa considered that

carriers were receiving an adequate re

turn upon such property as they had in-.,

vestad In and they were denied, aa I un

derstand, the right of an advance In

rates." , -

"The Wettllng exhibit." eald Mr. Reed,

"showed that earnings In 1914 by the

rallroada seeking the increased rate were

tH, 000,000 more than in 1010 and ' that

therefore they were not entitled to plead

hard times." -

' Cites Wettllng Report.

Mr. Reed said that the Wettllng report

ehowed. that soma 6,000 miles of track

had been built between . 1910 and 1014,

which might account for the increased

earnings, but he Insisted that the raft- ,

roads had added the additional mileage

at their -own risk and that the amount

of money Invested In extension of tracks

and betterments waa set off by reason or

the difference between the eamlncs of

1910 and 1914.

We are driven to the very point that

the carriers are entitled to earn a fair

return upon their money," said the at

torney general, of Nebraska. "I take it

that any act or deed or anything that la

dene to vary and change the current of

traffic, that changes the location, as it

were- of the earning commodity, will

have a tendency to make one road, per

haps.' earn more and another road earn

leas."

In point he cited the Great Western

when It built Into Omaha, "aa a rate

cutter in my Judgment."

A boat Canipetlan- Lines.

He said the territory traversed was

amply provided with railroad facilities,

but between 1910 aid 1914, Instead of per

mitting the Great Weatern to. carry some

of the traffic which might otherwise have

gone over the Burlington Or the North

western, another Una waa constructed

and double tracked in order that the par

ticular road, might earn more money.

"In the atate of Nebraska," aatd Mr.

Reed, our people gave, in round figures,

SS.0O0.000 in the way of bonds to aid in the

construction of tfie rallroada In that

stxte, and they gave 600.000 exits of land

to assist in the construction of the rail

ways, in addition t the twenty-mile

tract which is over every odd section,

ten miles north and ten miles south, of

the Union Paclfio railway. I say It is

not fair that after the people have given,

those SC,000,OM that you should then fix

and use that aa part of the basis' upon

which to say you must pay. S or 1 per

cent on that money which you have al

ready txtn given."

Mr. Stanchfleld then reviewed the caae

and read the argument in which William

Deputy Attorney General Cook asked

Cook declared that the state had no In

whether Thaw waa a menace.

' "We will show you that he is suffering

from Incurable Inaanlty," aaid the state's

attorney.

- Mr. Cook declared that he weuld show

"by Thaw's mother that she was suffer

This fact, said the ' attorney, ha. af

fected Thaw ail hla life.

said.

Thaw, he continued, had hidden -behind

Thaw was then called and Mr. Stanch

room.

"When you left Matteawan did you be

"I believed I was sane," said the wit

"They had."

Thaw was taken over the history of his

escape to Canada and his - subsequent

movements.

"You formed acquaintance at various

places where you stopped T"

"I wss fortunate In forming

acquaintances," said Thaw.

Mr. Stanchfleld asked the witness to

give names, dates and (ftaoea tn great de

tail, and this Thaw did without hesita

tion. "It is a fact that while you' were

staying In Manchester, N, IL, you enter

tained friends and acquaintances, and

In turn ware entertained by them?"

"That Is right," replied the witness.

Thaw waa asked to tell of the examina

tion of his sanity made In Manchester

by a federal commission In connection

with .proceedings to extradite hint to

New Tork. He named the members of

the commission and told how It came to

be appointed.

Physloians representing a. Pittsburgh

bank had also come to see him in Man

"This Pittsburgh bank honored your

"Yes, and the banks ' tn New Hsmp

witness.

Mr. Stanchfleld then turned the witness

over to the state's attorney, but Deputy

Attorney General Cook announced that

he would not cross-examine at this time.

For the last twenty day a. alnce the

The capture of Lemberg was one of
