FAVOR THE FARNAM STREET SITE XMntiH Sn < r rHf < l lo flct Ilic Itclnelnnt Ilnllroniln < o Join Mnn Meet- In K ill Inil OP Tc in 11 It : Lnnt A mass meeting was held In the hall of Later Temple U t night to discuss the propo sition of the erection of a union depot nt tt.o foot'of Farnam street. There was a fair audience present , which consisted largely of laboring men. The mcc'lng ' seemed to bo enthusiastically In favor of the depot project and unani mously pawed the following resolutions re- nardlng It , which arc to bo presented lo the members of the State Board of Transporta tion : "Whereas , Omaha and Nebraska have suf fered untold Injury by tlio fact that people coming to the west for wiUlemcnt or In vestment havn for years been ushered Into this , the gate city cf the finest agricultural region to bo found In America , through depot buildings which would dls-graco a fifth rate Village , the appearance and location of which have given them a false and prejudicial Idea of the city's Importance and enterprise ; nnd "Whcrcau , A corporation backed by suffi cient capital for the purpose has volunteered to erect and maintain a union depot of pro portions adequate t * the needs of the city and on plans calculated to convey a proper Impression of our wealth and business as a people ; and "Whereas , Some of the railroads entering the city have refused , without giving good reasons for their refusal , to agree to use such unlcn depots when erected , although given assurance that the rental of such depot would bo moderate and reasonable , and are now preventing the plans for the building of ituch depot being carried Into effect , and "Whereas , Tlicro have been several s'.tcs for the location of such union depot suggested as desirable ; therefore be It . "Resolved , That we , an working men ? as citizens of Omaha , and having only the best Interests of Omaha and Nebraska at heart , demand that measures bo taken to get the co operation of all the roads entering the city In securing a union depot In Omaha com mensurate with Its commercial Importance ; and "Resolved , That it Is the sense of the citizens of Omaha , here In mass meeting as- eembled , that the business men of the city , would bo justified In view of the facts In re fusing to ship or receive a pound of freight over any of the roads refusing lo come Into nnd US2 such depot , and we urge upon them to follow such a course , assuring them that they have our hearty support In such righteous warfare ; and "Resolved , That the proposed location at Ninth and Farnam streets would be the mosl advantageous , for the reason that It would bo the mort accessible for all the roads and for till the people , and for the further reason that , travelers coming into and passing through the city would then form a favorable Impression and see Omaha In Us proper light , and wo thcrforo urge the erection of said union depot at that location and according to the plans drawn and published by the East Omaha Bridge and Terminal company ; and "Resolved , That we heartily commend the enterprise of the projectors of the said union depot and of the railroads which have signi fied their willingness toi use it when com pleted. " STILL FURTHER EXPRESSION. These resolutions did not seem to fully volco the Ecntlment and the following was also passed , to bo presented to the board of transportation : "Whereas , Tlio traveling public and ship- prs"of Omaha have endured Inconvenience and "ill-treatment In depot accommodation for many years , and "Whereas , Some of the railroad corpora tions entering this state arid operating rail roads therein have secured valuable privi lege from the people for which they have returned nothing , and "Whereas" Such corporations have evaded the obligations of depot facilities which they ere morally bound to give the public and defiantly continue to evadethosu duties ; therefore , bo It "Resolvqd , That wo emphatically denounce the management of such corporations as the enemies of the traveling and business people and of the people of the 'city of Omaha in particular ; and be It futtber "Resolved , That the worklngmrn of the city of Omaha , In mass mooting assembled , Mil upori our mercantile and traveling classes to retrain from pationlzlng the freight or passenger equipments of such roads as refuse to co-operate In giving this cl'.y such depot accommodations as the Importance of Omuhn Justly entitles It to. " An effort was also madeto pa ? } a resolu tion which was In effect that the merchants of the city should sign an agicement not to patronlzo t'io ' railroads which refused to enter the proposed depot , nnd pledging them the support of the working people. It was held , lion over , that It would bo Imposslho to In duce the merchants to do' this , a'-t they would bo afraid to do FO , and consequently the rcaalutl.ii fulled of PISEXIRI * . SOMETHING BESIDES WAGES. Mayor Brwluh was not present to opeu the meeting as was expected , and In consequence quence H. C. Waller acted ae chairman. He called upon William C. Doycr as the first ri'.ojker. Boycr Dtatod that the merchants of the city complained that the worklngmcn \\cro prominent In no xtlinr movement than the rolslug of wages , but ho cited as an In dication of their progression the fact that many of them were present , whereas the merchants were not. He commented unfavorably upon the atti tude of the railroads uhlch refused to agree to enter the proposed depot. Ho nUo i ke ct the adv.intngi's of Iho tuo dcpat fltcK and was In favor of the ono < jt the foot of Farnam Direct. Hu made favorable mention of the terminal company , which ho snld wao acting better toward the pe'plo of the city than other cnrnoratlor.f. John 0. Ktilin was In'favor of refusing to patrnnlzo the railroads which refused to ogreo lo go Inta the new depot , a the bet method by which to bilnir them to terms. Iln rpastu.1 these if ad ; . He ahv ? expressed hlmtclf In favor f the Fnrnam street site. Although ho held that the people rf the city would be gl.nd to get a depot nnyuherp. W. J. llovunrui did not think that the mer- chau'a tf tl > city were very enthusiastic In favor of o depot , or at leayt did not i < how It. Ho thought that they ought to come out flit- footed anJ refuse to pitronlzEi the road which rcfunpd to come Into tlio depot scheme. Ho held that the crortUn of the depot would beef of great v.tluo , at > It would help to tide Mer the dull tlmon. The $2,000.000 which the ler- mlml company proposed ti put Into the buildIng - Ing would keup many families In the city from starving , and the expenditure of that Bun of money would attract now enterprises to tlio city. He favon-U the Farnam t-treet Bite because It would enable strangers to ob tain a view ef tha city , even If they did not leave thedepot. . Tlfo same linn of argument was continued by T. C. KoUoy , who heM that the Injection of $2,000.000 , Into the circulation of the city wftiild materially dcer ao the existing hard times. He thought that bath the mer chants and tl'o laboring men wcro not striv ing hard enougli , to bring f'-rth the depot end advised his hearcia that the- erection of the ttriirtiiro would bring at great bene fit to the worMngmon aa to any others. Ho thought , too. tint if the depot was erected U would encourage the building of ether ftrnciMrcs In the city. He dwelt upon the dlcrcpute Into which the city would fall If the visitors to the proposr-d tranwnlmlnslppl _ ftxpoaUIon wore compelled to arrive In the rlty at the cowshed oil Mason street. Kel- key wound up by saying that he was first , hit and all the time In favor of tha Far nam btreet flto. ALL SHOULD PULL TOGETHER. T. F , Sturgm ulso expressed hlmtclf In favor of thu Idea that the merchants of the city and the laboring men should unite In the effort to bring about the desired result , He admitted that the times were hard , but cited the fact that the terminal company was nio-e than , willing to erect a depot on Farnam tract , the Kite which be fnvured , as It would tflvo en opportunity to pasUnic travelers to obtain a farorub ! & view of the city , He that the work would Urt otlic enterprises , na It would convince capitalist of other cities llmt Omaha wa progrc slv In t < pllo of hard time" . Attorney McDonald pictured the poor Im prestlon of the city that travelers slmpl pattlnR throURh It obtained from n view o the * hcd on Mflnon street. The effect w that they went away with the Idea th Omaha did not hnvo Iho energy of a tow onc-lenlli Its size , Even If a miltabl Rtructuro was erected on Mason street , h rold that a very unfavorable view of th city would bo obtained , and thercfcro h ppako emphatically In favor of the Farnam street file. Chairman Waller took occasion to Injcc a few emphatic and pointed remarks Into th proceedings. Ho ttated that It a depot wa erected It would give employment for a ( Im at least to from 300 to BOO men , and tha thereby families would be saved frcm ear ! vatlon. Ho held that It was tlmo to ca tha roads to account. In his opinion the depot pot would have been built a long time ag If the merchants of the city had show one-third of the enthusiasm of the laborln people. All that they needed to da wa to demand a depot and they would set I Ho said that he knew as a former rallroac man why they had not nude this demam was because Ihey were afraid of losing frc tranrportatlon , which he denominated a curse As an Indication of this ho cited the fac that the merchants were afraid oven to a tend a meeting In favor of the scheme , a though a largo number had promised to b In attendance. G. H. Burchard compared the advantage of the two piles which were offered , Maw street and Farnam street , lie spoke of th disadvantages of the former , eaylni ; tha It wast Icciitcd In a bad porllon of Iho city that the passengers of trains could not b favorably Impressed with Omaha from th surroundings , and tbat according to tbe plar of the proposed building at that point trave ors would have lo climb Ihree flights o flairs before reaching the street level am would then l > ? compelled lo go a long wale lo arrive In Iho main portion of the ctt > On the oilier hand , he dwelt on the fac that If the depot was built on Farnam stree passengers wduld bo deposited In the hear of the city ; that a favorable view of th city could bo obtained from trains and tin Ho Iccation was convenient for all the.ml road 5. Some person In the audience arose nn < staled that although he was In favor o the laboring men doing all they could , h thought the capitalists of the city ougl to do camcthlng and not sit supinely u they have been dclng. The- remarks wcr grcated with applause. At the conclusion of the speeches the res elullona wcro presented to Hie meeting an wcro' unanimously passed. AT HAYIHC.V IIHOS.

"Well , wo got our annual kick on regula time , " said a talkative street railway man o tlio Farnam street line. "What kick ? " "Why , the kick about the service renderc by the conductors and motormen on this line Last year the complaint was made that th cars were not stopped nt the proper place a thp Thirty-sixth street crossing. That Is double crossing , "tho street'ta tbe north beln about fifty feet west of the street to th south. It wo stop at ono side passengers llv Ing on the other side Inevitably grumble. "Thla year the kick Is that the cars do no wait long enough at the terminals. Some o the people living at the west Farnam strec end are accustomed to have the conductor knock nt their doory and tell them who the car Is ready to start , and If they mbs car they thluk it is the conductor's fault fo not waiting for them. At the South Tent street end lives a man , now an ex-city off clal , who up to yesterday rpdo on a pas : who stands on tbo porch picking his tcet until he sees the car start off , and then yell at the conductor to slop and wait for him Ills kick means that ha or some of hi neighbors must have missed a car once o twlco of late. The result has been a nen order telling us that if we fall to wait a terminals fcr passengers who are n 'lltllo way off , wo will be placed on walling order or dropped off the pay roll altogether.

NEW METHOD WITH BOLLN Only Way in Which Whole Defalcation Oan Bo Involved , PAYMENT OR ACCOUNTING WILL BE ASKED Itefnmil or I'nlliire Will lie I'rlinn 1'iicliKvliteiicc of Knilirnlo- mciit Dlroct Proof for Whole CIIMC UIIIIcMilt. As a result of ft conference between County Attorney Baldrlge and Assistant County Al to rd a jDay , the two additional Informa tions which Day had prepared agalnot ex- City Treasurer Bolln , and which were ready for wirvlco several days ago , have not been filed. filed.Tho The two officials have determined to set about the prosecution of Bolln In such a manner that ho may at once bo charged with the entire amount of the shortage In the treasurer's office , as reported by the ox- perti. It was at first Intended that the Informa tions against Bolln should Include sev eral counts , each one of which should cover the Individual amount that Balln Is alleged to have converted to hlo own use at any ono time , until the cntlro amount of the defalcation had been reached. If this method were pursued , the attorneys say that It would be necesrary to prove each count In order to convict Bolln of having embezzled the cn tlro amount of the shortage. If any of them were not proven , It would make the amount of the embezzlement so much leys , and In the eyes of the law Bolln would bo corre spondingly less guilty and liable to a lighter sentence , If convicted. Upon Investigating the case , Assistant At torney Day has come to the conclusion that It ' would bo possible to convict Bolln of only a'comparatively small embezzlement In this way. In fact , ho sayo that he has found that there are only four Instances In which there Is sufficient evidence to prove that Bolln converted city money to his own use. Two of these furnU'h the grounds on which the two Informations on which Bolln has bsen arrested were based , and the other two were Incorporated In the two new In formations which It was Intended to file. The amount alleged to have been embezzled In theoo aggregate about $11,000 , "an Insig nificant amount in comparit < xn with the es timated shortage of from $115,000 to $125- 000 , " addu the attorney. "Tho dlfllculiy la found In the fact that no proofs of conversion can bo easily found. In the four Instances cited conversion Is shown by checks drawn by Bolln , on which ho obtained money which ho failed to credit on the books. Regarding the balance of the shortage , no such evidence Is found. The money appears tq , have been taken In amounts of from $100 up , and Into the thou sands , but nil the Indication of this that Is given Is found In slips , but In nothing which directly connects Bolln with obtain ing the money. " It Is held by the county attorneys , therefore , that the point might be raised .that the money could hove been taken by others In the office besides Bolln. In their opinion the result would bo that It would bo extremely difficult , If not Impassi ble , to convict Bolln of embezzling the cn tlro shortage. WILL TRY ANOTHER PLAN. In view of these facts the county attorneys have called to their aid another section of the statutes by which they say that they hope to bo able to charge Bolln with the entire - tire amount. "This will allow a demand upon Bolln to account for , or moke settle ment for , the entire shortage , and his failure or refusal to do so will In the eyes of the law furnish prlma faclo evidence of em bezzlement. " The section of the statutes reads as follows : "Any refusal to pay over the * public money or any part thereof , by any officer or other person , charged with the collection , receipt , transfer , disbursement or safe-keeping of the public money or any part thereof , whether belonging to the state , or to the county or precinct cr school district , or organized city op Incorporated village , In this state , or any other public money whatever ; or any failure to account to or to make a settlement within reasonable time after , a notice so todo with any proper cr legal authority of the official accounts of such officer cr perscn , shall be held anil taken as prlma faclo evidence of such embezzlement. " "Under the construction of the statute by the county attorney It will bo possible for a formal demand to bo made up n Bolln to fettle or account for the entire shortage In the office , " says Day. "And If he falls or refuses to make this accounting" settlement It will constitute prlma faclo evidence that ho Is guilty of the embezzlement of the en tire amount. " Day says that he Is ready to admit that the prlma facie evidence thuo "shown would not be as string as evidence of conversion , but he Is of the opinion that It would be strong enougn to convict. .Moreover has . . , ne ex pressed himself of the opinion that In no other way can the entire shortage bo charged to Bolln. Continuing , Mr. Day says : k'Ali that re mains Is to discover the , proper legal author ity for making this demand. Naturally , It is supposed to bo the mayor and the city coun cil , and prwlbly the present city treasurer. " The matter will probably be' considered at the next meeting of the council. In the meantime no more complaints will bo filed against Bolln and , no steps will bo. taken In his cage beyond the acquisition of as much evidence as possible. In case the council and the mayor decide to follow the coursa Indlc-ited by Day , and In case the de mand Is made and net qomplled with , a new- complaint will bo flle-d against Bolln , charg ing him with the entlro amount of the short age , less the amount already Incorporated In the two complaints filed. An AliHtruot CIIIIMIM ! < ln Trouble. Egbert E. French , a real estate man , and S. M. Sadler , a well known abstractor , wore arrested last night on the charge of obtain ing money under false pretenses. Officers cf the Mutual Investment company allege that on May 2 , 1S93 , they loaned French $900 on four lots In Central Park , on which he said there were no encumbrances except a judg ment of $143. This claim was supported by an abstract from Sadler. A few days ago the company began proceedings of fore closure on account of non-payment of Inter est , and discovered that the property had been sold under an execution Issued on a judgment for $2,905. Sadler says that when he- made tbe abstract ho did not know for what purpose it was to bo used , The cases wore called this morning , and continued until January 22 , although Judge Gordon stated that the hearing might be held earlier. Quarreled About u Fence. Paul Jucknlcss has caused a warrant to bo Issued for the arrest of William Bennett , alias Light , on the charge of assault and battery. The two llvo In Shceleytown and on adjoining lots. It appears that recently tbo JucknleEu family pitched up a hole In the 'ence which divided the two premises. Ben nett looked upon this bit of thrift as an affront to himself , as previously the bole nllouod hm | a view of the other yard. It Is alleged that the two met In Dldam't ) saloon n Sheeley Wednesday night and had a fight , out of which Jucknlees came second best.
