PAXTON. Neb. July (API City and state officials are investigating a series of four recent business district fires here, the latest of which wrs discovered soon after 3 o'clock this morning. The other fires occurred during a period of three weeks, and three of them were in the opera house building. housing a cafe and theatre.

Damage there was about $500. Although authorities are working on the theory of incendiarism, a night watchman hired by the city to protect property reported today he had observed nothing unusual prior to the fire this morning that damaged the Jiggs cafe to the extent of $1.500. L. J. Butrher, deuty state fire marshal, is assisting local authorities in the investigation.

NEW LIVESTOCK RATES TO MEAN INCREASE HERE ommission Prepares Fight Rale Increase Nebraska Body Vigorously Opposes Shortening Time in Which To Prepare Case. Nebraska's state railway commission is entering vigorous protest agatnst any shortening of the time allowed for preparation of protests to the request for a na- tion-wide 15 per cent increase in freight rates before the. interstate commerce commission, J. F. Miller, secretary of the Nebraska commission.

announced Wednesday. Except for preparation of new intra-state gram rates to conform with th einterstate reductions, the commission's rate departmen is devoting practically all of its time to preparations for the fight against the increase, Protestants were originally grant- ed until August 3i to prepare their objections to the national increases but railroads and others favorable to the increases are urging that the time be shortened. Nebraska commission is now making every effort," says Secretary Miller, defeat the proposed increase so far ns this state is con- (omed, as it is felt Nebraska has generally been hit as hard as the railroads and that we should not have to pnv increased freight In the effort to fight this general increase, work is temporarily at a standstill, tJie secretary says, on thirty-seven cases pending before the commission seeking reductions in rafes for Nebraska on specific products. If the time should be moved up two weeks or a month, it would be almost impossible for Nebraska to present a full case, he believes. The commission secretary also announced Wednesday that additional privileges for attendants with cars of livestock have been obtained by the commission.

Free transportation will be accorded shippers who are sending more than one shipment, who find it necessary to return to point, of origin before the first shipment hfts reached its destination. General Reductions Will Not He Felt Within State, Ross Says. New livestock rates, which were reported from Washington as providing general apparently will mean on hauls in Nebraska territory, C. A. Ross, rate expert for the state railway commission, announced Wednesday morning.

Because of press of other duties, only a few comparisons have been drawn between the old and new livestock rates but these showed increases of from 5 to 10 per cent on hauls into the Omaha market. By contrast, some reductions are provided in the proposed new hay rates recommended by interstate commerce commission examiners. Figures on rates on cattle, sheep and hogs from Sanborn in the extreme western part of the state to Omaha show increases of more than 10 per cent on double deck cars. From Alliance to Omaha, the distance rate ha.s been increased from 36 to 38 cents and from Mansfield from 40,5 to 42 cents. This is less than a 5 per cent increase.

Adjustments at key points along the way would show an increase somewhat less, Mr. Ross believes. Rough estimates on the effect of the proposed new hay rates show, Mr. Ross says, that on distances up to 200 miles. Nebraska shippers will gain a reduction of 8 per cent.

On the flat distance rate for 150 miles, however, which is the average Nebraska haul, the poposed new rates will mean a 17 per cent increase, Mr. Ross says. Part of Taken From Scofield Store Found in Nearby Alley Robbery of the Scofield Grocery store, Twcnty- 3 eventh and streets between 10 o'clock Tuesday night and 7 Wednesday morning, netted thieves only a small amotint i of cigars, ice cream and spaghetti, part of which was lost In the getaway. Officer Holloway and Everett Rudisil, police secretary, who investigated shortly after the robbery was reported, found a glove and helmcnt and part of the stolen goods in a nearby alley. They believed the thieves had run into a telephone pole probably with a motorcycle.

Value of the stolen goods was put at $7.50. CLAIM TO WORLD SHORTEST NAME IS WON BY MR A A CHICAGO, July A of Chicago today finished what J. Ur of Torrington, recently started claim to the world's shortest name. Mr. claim to fame followed the death last Mondav of II.

Jaquet, of the Gothenburg Light Ac Power Co who was a visitor at the state capltol Wednesday morning.

Poison on the alfalfa which is about ready to cut would render It useless, he pointed To meet the situation, he said, farmers have rigged up machines with metal pieces to ruffle the tops of the alfalfa to stir the hoppers up. Below these are containers with water and coal oil into which the hoppers fall. The machines have been worked from daylight to sunset in manv cases. Mr. Jaquet said, in an attempt to stave off the damage.

The hoppers cannot ordinarily be seen from the road but. are thick in many of the fields, he said Mrs. A. F. Lang Dies At Grand Island Mrs.
