SILK TRAINS TO
OPERATE ON VERY
FAST SCHEDULE
Special Trains Over the Burlington
to Carry Valuable Shipments
From Seattle to Chicago.
The Burlington railroad is engag
ed in the transportation of one of the
most valuahle shipments ever made
in this country, in handling the spe
cial silk trains valued at $12,000,
000 frm Seattle to Chicago, on their
way eastward to Ntw York.
The consignment of silk comes
frcm the Orient by way of Seattle
and at that place is loaded on the
special rtains for transportation to
Chicago where the trains will be
turned over by the Burlington to the
Pennsylvania railroad. The trains
will consist of baggage cars and will
be operated on faster time than the
passenger trains, it being planned to
make the time from Seattle to Chi
cago in 68 hours.
There are forty-six cars in all. two
trains of eleven cars and two of
twelve cars each. Each of the trains
is accompanied by twenty-five armed
guards. The shipments heretofore
have been handled by Canadian rail
roads. The shipments, which were to be
sent yesterday and today over the
Burlington, are evidently being han
dled over the Council Bluffs transfer
to Pacific Junction as the local Bur
lington station has received no no
tice of the passing of the special
trains through this city.
SLACK BUSINESS WILL
CUT WORKING HOURS
Burlington Shops Will Operate
Five Day Schedule Excepting
Coach Repair Shop.
on
From Saturday's Daily
The general policy of retrench
ment made by the Burlington on its
lines of freight handling and other
transportation .has made necessary
BOme changes in the working hours
in force at the shops of the company
over the entire system.
Here in this city it has been the
policy to avoid if possible the laying
off of any men and to maintain the
force at its full strength if possible
during the winter months which Is
generally a slack period with the
railroad, and accordingly the man
agement will instead of laying off the
men make a cut in the working hours
of the shops.
Effective next week the shops with
the exception of the coach repair de
partment will be operated on a five
Hv workine schedule for the present
at least. The coach repair depart
ment that includes the car carpen
ters, painters and a number of the
other workmen required to supply
ma eriai lor the coach repairs will
operate on the usual working sched
ule of six days a week.
Tiie freieht car repair department
and the others not engaged in the
coach work will have a holiday on
Saturday of each week until further
orders are received.
Superintendent Baird believes that
the shortening of the hours will be
much more satisfactory than a cut
ting of the force and will prove bet
ter for the men in shops, many of
whom would have to be laid off if
other means of cutting the operating
expenses was decided upon.
INTERESTING GAME
AT THEHIGH SCHOOL
High School Wins From DeMolay
Team by Score of 34 to 19 in
Well Played Game.
Fr-.m Saturday's rally
Last evening the basketball fans

and wended their way up to the high
school gym where they enjoyed a real

nered ten field goals that brought his
team well along their victorious
march over their opponents. Chase
and Wesley, the remaining veterans
of the team, were accountable for
the other scores that won for the
high school. In guarding. Hatt and
Rebal, two of the new members of
the team, showed up well and mixed
it strong with the larger players of
the DeMolay. In the first half of the
game the high school secured nine
field goals while their opponents
added but four and one free throw.
In the second half the DeMolays
added five field goals while the
school five picked up eight more of
the field tosses that gave them the
victory.
The DeMolay team showed lack of
practice and the greater part of their
playing centered around John Sat
tler, former high school star, who
was responsible for six of the field
goals and the foul throw for the f rat
ers while Ofe, center of the DeMolay,
secured two and Richards one.
The game was much enjoyed by the
audience who were largely adult fans
and the school people were noticeable
flv for their absence from the :
seen of action
from the usual
and this detracted
enthusiasm of the
game.
Lawrence Sprecher was the official
referee of the game and was keDt

The message did not state the
cause of the sickness aside from its
critical nature. The many friends
here will anxiously await further
word from the bedside of the young
man, hoping for his recovery from
his sudden attack.

BRYAN IS CRITICIZED
FOR OUSTING QUINTON
State Association of Sheriffs Declares
Many Persons Arrested by Him
Seeking for Revenge.
Lincoln. Neb.. Jan. 4. County
sheriffs in session here today criti
cized Governor Bryan for removing
C. D. Quinton as sheriff of Cass COUn
ty. "because a number of persons had
a grudge against Quinton."
It was understood that some ac
tion might be taken by the meeting
of the sheriffs regarding the ousting
of the Cass county sheriff after he
had been indicted by the grand jury.
Quinton and his attorney, A. L.
Tidd. who are attending the meet
ing, declared they had some "strong
evidence" to present before the
meeting of law enforcement officers.
This, they said, was in the form of
information showing that a large
number of the persons who testified
against Quinton before the grand
jury had been arrested by the sher
iff previously and convicted on liq
uor violations.
Sheriff Quinton declared that when
the ousting law was in the process
of legislation, the sheriffs objected
to it. because "it gave the sheriff no
possible chance of defending him
self. Any one can bring a charge
against an officer and have him re
moved if the case appears strong
enough."
Mr. Tidd declared that "more liq
uor has been brought into Cass
county since Sheriff Quinton was re
moved than there was in two years
before."

an of Nebraska today made public a
letter he received from William II.
Jordan, publisher of five central
North Carolina newspapers, in wlii- h
the publisher asked for a picture of
Mr. Bryan and material for publica

The letter states that "we hope to
see you nominated as next candidate
for president on the democratic tick

Josephus Daniels of the News and

vice president."
Mr. Jordan's letter states that "in
going over this section I find a big

man as vice president and to help our
president in giving us better govern
ment. None of the democratic candi
dates will go to the next national
convention with sufficient votes to
get nominated and it will be a new
man or a 'dark horse' who will re
ceive the nomination. You have
thousands of friends oTer the south
land who will be glad to support you
and a large number will be glad to
support you or account of the high
esteem which they hold for your il

Governor Bryan declared that he
would answer the letter by sending
his photograph and the material re

notify Mr. Jordan that "while I am
not actively in the race, he is wel

cation which. In my opinion, the.
probable candidates must meet."

EAGLE BEACON HA3 FIRE
From Saturday's Daily
Last Sunday was one of the bitter
est days of the year, and about six
o'clock in the evening Mrs. Gardner
scented fresh smoke in the room and
an investigation revealed that the
chimney had got so hot from the
heavy firing during the day that
wood aear where the chimney passed
through the floor from below had
scorched and was somewhat charred.
Prompt work with an ax. fire extin
guishers and water controlled the sit-
nation early and most of the damage
done was in cutting a way to get into
the fire.
The family is certainly thankful to
the men who responded so promptly
and rendered such timely aid, thus
saving, not only our home, but the
printing office as well. The building
and contents are covered with rea
sonable insurance, but insurance sel
dom covers all loss in a fire. Eagle

GEORGE SISLER MAT TAKE
A TURN AS A M0UNDSMAN
George Sisler, from reliable re
ports, has not recovered sufficiently
from the eye trouble that had him
in the stands all last season, to play
first base for the Browns next year.
The "Sizzler" wants to do some
thing more than manage his club
from the bench, and it has been hint
ed recently that he might take a
shot at pitching.
He was pitching for the Univer
sity of Michigan when he first began
to attract attention, and it was only
because his stick was too valuable
for occasional use that experiments
were tried which brought out his
versatility.
The Babe, you remember, also
started as a pitcher.
If Sisler does get into the game
next season as a pitcher, he will not
be the only star player who may be
in a trick position in the lineup.
Tris Speaker may play first base
for the Cleveland Indians, as it seems
he will be unable to get another first
sacker.
Also. New York is speculating that
if Rogers Hornsby comes to the Gi
ants from the Cards he will be used
at first base by McGraw.
Hornsby has a yearning for first
base, and it is understood that his
dicerences with the St. Louis man
agement started when Branch Rick
ey refused to move him over to first
base when the post was vacant.
It would be no shock, likewise, to
see Bill Cunningham, who was trad
ed to the Braves as an outfielder by
the Giants, get a crack at an infield
position with the Boston club.
AMERICA'S 65 FIRST MORTGAGE
From Thursday's Pally
The annual taxes paid in the Unit
ed States, national and local, on prop
erty and income, direct and indirect,
are equal to the burden of a mortgage
on all the property of the United
States to the amount of 65 of its
valuation bearing interest at 5rf.
This tax mortgage is a prior lien
to the other mortgages. It encum
bers property which is free from
other debts and it is an additional
burden to property covered with oth
r debts.
This statement is very easily prov
ed. A fair conservative valuation
of the property in the United States
is $260,000,000,000. The annual
taxes, national, state and local, are
approximately $S. 500, 000, 000. A
mortgage of 65 of the value of 260
billion dollars would be 170 billion
dollars. Interest at 5 on the 170
billion dollars mortgage would be
$8.500,000.000 exactly the same as
the taxes paid annually.
Some people think they do not pay
any of this tax because they do not
pay it to a county treasurer and get
ia receipt. In this they are mistaken.
All consumers pay taxes in the form
of higher rents or higher prices for
food, clothing and luxuries.
Owners of tax-exempt bonds are
the ones who escape taxation. The
big 65 tax mortgage rests on the
shoulders of all the rest of us. That
mortgage is growing heavier every
year.
The general burden of national,
state and local taxation has increas
ed 134 9r more than doubled since
1912. Farm taxes have increased
126 since 1914. Tax-exempt bonds
have not paid one cent of this in
creased taxation.
The amount of tax-exempt bonds
increases every year. The taxation
mortgage grows bigger every year.
