THE OMAHA DAILY BED : WEDNESDAY , DJ2CEMB1CK 21 , 181)5. HOSPITAL FUND DIVIDEND Union Pacifio Employes Will Get a Rebate Som Day. SETTLEMENT IS NOT YET COMPLETE Mnnter-ln-Climiccry Abbott TelU of the Sluttn of tlio Fit ml ami UimheH Some IJ.xnnB ! rntcil Storlen Wet Allout. Howard S. Abbott , master-ln-chanccry In. charge of canes arising out of the Union Pa cific receiverships , has Just returned from a couple of months' absence In the east , where he has been engaged In hearing testimony and otherwise closing up the last of these cases. Among other matters Mr. Abbott has In charge Is the settlement of the Union Pacific hospital fund , about which so many exaggerated accounts have recently been published. In answer to a question concerning the status of the hospital fund and Its proposed distribution among Union Pacific employes , Master-ln-Chancery Abbott said : "There has been no distribution of the fund made and there will not bo any until all the prop erty belonging to the hospital department is oold and the proceeds added to the money of the department now on hand. I am not euro just what this amount Is , but I believe it ia between $50,000 and $55,000. It Is In the form of cash and Is on deposit In a bank credited to the hospital department. "Tho department also has two hospital buildings on Us hands which It is trying to sell. Ono of these Is located in Ogden and the other In Denver. In neither of these cities is the real estate market very active at present and the succwsory re ceivers have not yet received what they consider fair bids for the two buildings. They do no- want to give the property awny and will hold It until something like a lair amount can be secured for them. "When both properties have been dis posed of and the proceeds added to the cash on hand the court will consider the question of distributing the fund among its sub- Bcrlbors. Just how this will be done no ono knows. The court will not decide on the rules for the distribution ot the fund wntll the two hospital buildings have been cold nnd the fund made complete. HlKhtu nf Former Kiiiplnjrcn. "One rule that has been proposed to the court Is that after e person has left the employ of the Union Pacific ho should cease to receive any benefits from the hospital fund. If this rule were adopted It would exclude those who subscribed for the hos pital fund and Inter left the'employ of the company from participation In the benefits resulting from the distribution of the fund. Hut the court has not passed on this ques tion and has not adopted as yet a single rulp concerning the distribution. " The Union Pacific hospital building in Denver cost $45,000 when It was originally constructed. Several years ago It was con demned by the Denver Hoard of Health on account of its marked unsanitary condition. It was practically without a drainage sys tem , and company physicians pronounced It an unfit place for keeping patients. The building Is located on ground belonging to the old Union Pacific Hallway company , near Fortieth street. Up until ten years ago the grounds were beautifully kept , and the spot was one of the prettiest In Denver. On account of the large expenditure of money necessary to make the building of any use as a hospital the company aban doned It , and since that time all Union Pacific accident cases on the Colorado divi sion hnvo been treated at the St. Joseph's hospital , Denver. Such equipment of the old hospital In Denver as could bo used has been sent to the company headquarters In this city and taken care of by the medical department. It has been reported in Denver that the old build ing may bo purchased and used for a sol diers' home , nnd the old soldiers moved there from Monte Vlata , Colo. Such use of the building , however , would Involve an enormous outlay of money to make the building thoroughly modern , and it is now ( bought that it will not be purchased for any auch use. Should the sale of the Denver and the Ogden hospital buildings bring in $45,000 the fund to bo divided would amount to $100,000. As there are about 13,000 applicants for a distribution ot the fund this would give each ouo ot them about $7.GO. It Is not thought the distribution will give this much to each applicant , as there 'is not a bright prospect for realizing a largo sum on the two build ings now ottered for sale. How many men there will bo to share In the distribution cannot be foretold , as the number depends altogether on the rules for distribution finally adopted by the court. IIAHUIS * POLICY NOT ENDORSED. Objection to FlllInK Union Pacific ' Place * trlth Elkhorn Meii. There Is discord on the Wyoming division of tbo Union Pacific and every newspaper along the line Is sounding a note ot warning. Encouraged by the success of the call boys of tbo Union Pacific at Lnramle , Wyo. , who last week struck when their force and wages were both cut , the operators and station agents are letting out a howl at the Impor tation of Elkhorn station agents to the best ogcnclcs on the Wyoming division. The Union Pacific agents at Green River nnd Rawlins , Wyo. , have been removed and their places filled by the Elkhorn agents from Chadron and Hot Springs. As TUwllns and Green River are division terminal points they are regarded as most important sta tions , and a big amount ot traffic Is handled by each station every month. Since these places have been given to the ogents of Email stations on the Elkhorn road tha Union Pacific operators and station agents In Wyoming are discour aged at their prospects for promotion. They have made a kick to Superintendent Harris and it Is reported they will send in a dele gation to President Durt next week to pro test against all the good positions on the Wyoming division being given to Elkhorn station agents. They say Harris had no been transferred from the Elkhorn road ai Chadron to the position of uperlntenden BurfriiSton" A Good Train Well Named The BurllnRton'e finest and fastest Omaha-Chicago train Is called tha "Daylight Chicago Special.

Said the traffic racial ot ono Iowa line to a Bee reporter ! "It's pretty hard on us to * o Elkhorn and Northwestern men being ; lvcn all the Important stations of tbo Union Pacific In Wyoming. Wo have orked hard for business coming out of Vyomlng over the Union Pacific so we an carry It from Council Bluffs to Chl- ago. With a straight Union Pacific agent t thc&e points we had a fair shake for 10 business. But when all these places re Oiled by Northwestern men what chance mvo we got ? I'm Inclined to think the 'nlon ' Pacific may very shortly receive an ( llclal protest from the Milwaukee and the ock Island roads over further action along i Is line. I do not like to comment on nether line , but It seems to me Superln- endcnt Harris will have to run up to Green liver and Hawllns every little while to keep ils men from being run over by the trains , hey have not been used to seeing so many rains at Chadron and Hot Springs aa go whizzing by Oreen River and Rawlins very day In the week. " NEW YORK CENTRAL EXPANDS Iteport that Vamlrrlillt Syntem Will Sunn the Continent lir Form ing a New Alliance. NEW YORK , Dec. 20. The Tribune sayi : . ' Is reported that a combination of the underbill system east of Chicago , with the Chicago & Northwestern and the Union 'aclfic systems may bo under consideration , 'he New/ York Central will , under such a chemo , exchange ite 3H per cent col- ateral trust bonds for Chicago & North western preferred and common at 200 and 50 , for Union Pacific preferred and comment t 100 and 150 respectively. The mileage of New York Central system would then tand at 16,026 , with a bonded debt of $492- 00,000 , $348,000,000 3V4 per cent collateral rust and $100,000,000 stock. The grand otal of fixed charges would be $31,655,000. ccordtng to the latest published returns nd estimate , the net earnings , after rentals nd taxes , would aggregate $46,350,000 for he system , leaving a balance of $14.795.000 j tier fixed charges , or about 15 per cent on 'ew York Central stock. The report that ie Vanderbllt lines east of Chicago might e combined with the Chicago & North- estorn and the Union Pacific Is by no means a new one and seems to be not 1m- robablc , although the joining ot forces la ot likely to bo effected for a good while o come. The consolidation of the New York entral and Lake Shore roads , it is under- Lood , has shown results so satisfactory to tie Interests which brought it about that icy are planning to extend the plan to the Ilchlgan Central and other lines of the * /underbill system. While the Chicago & Northwestern Is not actually a part ot that ystem , the Vandorbtlts virtually control it , nd their holdings of Union Pacific securities re so extensive that they are influential In ie direction of that railroad system. By In- reaslng their Investments in Union Pacific o an extent necessary to give them control hey would have a fine route to the far west y the New York Central and the West Shore to Buffalo by the Lake Shore and Ilchlgan Southern and the Michigan Cen- ral thence ( o Chicago , from Chicago to Omaha by the Chicago & Northwestern , and ram Omaha westward by the Union Pa- Iflc. Iflc.The The Union Paclfio it still regarded aa most likely to be th purchaser of the Chicago & Alton. It It should take over hat road , Us own subsequent absorption by he Vanderbllt system would give the latter an alternative route between Chicago and he far west , as the Alton extends from Chicago cage to Kansas City , th terminus ot the Kansas City branch of the Union Pacific , which Joins the main line at Cheyenne. TARIFFS ON INTERSTATE TIIAFFIC. Hearing ; In Joint Rate Cane on lovra Frelicht at Den Molnei. DBS MOINES , Dec. 20. Preliminary : o a hearing of the joint rate case , Frank Campbell and E. E. Carpenter , representing the Port Arthur Tea Export company , filed with the railroad commissioners to day a petition asking an order from the board directing tbo Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul , Omaha & St , Lou la and Sioux City & Northern Railway companies to file tariffs on Interstate traffic , whether originating within the state or not. The bearing today involves the question of the establishment of joint rates In Iowa , which do' not now exist , except In voluntary Isolated cases. Traffic managers of the Illinois Central and Chlcaco. Milwaukee & St. Paul and the gen eral counsel of the Interstate railroads were present. Rook' Iilanil'i New Trade Marie. On January 1 the passenger department of the Rock Island road will change its of- dclai trade mark. For a number of years it has employed a representation of the earth trimmed with crossed flags and containing the words "Great Rock Island Route" across the zones between the poUi. Whoever wants the earth after January 1 can have It Tne Rock Island li through with It as a trade mark. In Its stead the passenger depart ment will adopt the trade mark that has been employed for a long term of yean by ithe Rock Island freight department. This is a rectangular block with ten points and contains the words , "Great Rock Island Route. " It has adorned all the freight cars ot the company for a long while , Southern Pacific Earning * .

Freight Traffic Manager Munroe of ( be Union Pacific was able to he out yesterday morning after his recent llloeai. There will be a meeting ot all the trans mlsiourl lines that are going to bid on the movement of the Twentieth United States In i- fantry from Fort Leavenworth , Kan. , ta Son Francisco , at Union Pacific headquarters , in tbti city , on Wednesday morning. NO HURRY FOR THE SOLDIERS Twenty-Second Will Remain at Tort Orook Until Spring , MOVEMENT TO MANILA IS GRADUAL War Department Plan * Will Give the Ileroea of Santiago a Chance to Recover Before Starting for the 1'iiUIpplnci. Indications now are that it will be pos sibly three months before the Twenty- second Infantry will be ordered to move to the Philippines. H seems that the regi ments have been selected for this service , and their order of going established on th basis of their losses in Cuba. The losses of the Twenty-second were the greatest In that campaign of any regiment engaged In the fighting , and It will therefore be the last to bo forwarded. As six regiments have been designated fur th service , and the first ono has not yet been moved , it can easily be understood that some time will elapse before the last of the number shall be under way. Another reason given why this delay in the movement of the Twenty-second will be necessary Is the lack of suitable trans ports. Since the government has estab lished a regular transport service , It has selected only the best ships for u e , and as there Is no emergency existing there Is no special reason for havIng - , Ing a large number of these ships. Those in the service will make regular trips between - tween the stations and troopa wiir be moved in time to catch ono of the transports when It reaches port. Owing to the permanent service expected of the soldiers sent nc'roas the ocean they are allowed to take more baggage : with them , and many of the officers | will be accompanied by their families , which will make one regiment the limit which any single transport can carry , doing away ' with the crowding of the vessels , 1 which was an Incident of the war period. It Is : therefore believed that the Scandla , which win take the Twentieth Infantry to Manila , will have time to return to this country be- ore the Twenty-second will be ready to be moved. It ia announced that the wives of four of he officers of the Twentieth infantry will coompany their husbands , to Manila. The fllcers who will take advantage of this oncesslon by the War department are lieutenant Colonel1 McCaekey , First Lleu- enant Frederick R. Day , First Lieutenant homas M. Moody and First Lieutenant 'homas ' J. KlrkpatTlck , Jr. This regiment acka less than 100 of being recruited up o the war limit. Mrs. W. L. Coakley , wife of the chief lerk to Major Jonee , now quartermaster vith the army In the Philippines , left yester- ay for San Francisco and will salf on the candla for Manila to join her husband. General Edwin V. Sumner of Denver , com mander of the Department ot the Missouri , arrived In Omaha Monday evening , but was ndlsposed yesterday and unable to come own to headquarters. He had been ill pre- rlous to coming to this city and the damp and chilly weather he met here rather ag gravated his ailment. IHRISTMAS MAIL IS HEAVY Foital Clerki Swamped Trlth the Ae- cainalatlon of Bailneu Dae to Santa Clan * . The Christmas mall that IB coming Into and going : out of Omaha at this time to unusually heavy. At the postofflco there seems to be enough to fill a freight car and t Is accumulating hourly. Every mall that departs carries along tons , but this does net seen to diminish the quantity , as more bundles and package * take the place of those snt out. The Incoming mall appears to be about as heavy as the outgoing and this con dition is going to continue right along until the last of the week. The railway mall clerks are swamped with the Christmas mall and on a number of tne runs extras are likely to have to be put to work during the next three or four days. The packages consigned to the care and cus tody of these men are of all sizes , shapes and conditions. In the past little care has apparently been exercised in wrapping packages for ship ment by mall , but this year most of them are In first-class aondttlon , especially tnoso which are being tent out direct from the stores where the presents w r bought. Tno greatest difficulty that the clerks have Is In handling the packages sent out by Individ' uals. Many of these are enclosed In the frailest kind of coverings and are not tied together sufficiently strong to permit of their being carried across the street. Such pack ages , in order to insure delivery , have to be rewrapped and retied by the clerks who handle them.

FOR PUSHING HOMrTJNDUSTRY Traveling Exhibit * to Educate Ne- fcrackana to Vue Product * of the State. The directors of the Manufacturers' nnd lonsuraers' association held a special meot- ng for the purpose ot considering ways and means for pushing the Interests of Nebraska roducts during the coming year. The advisability of conducting a cooking chool was discussed. If this is done Ne- raska products entirely will be used and he exhibit will be sent to all the loading owns in the state , where they may be In- pected free of cost , while visitors will have he advantages of patronizing home indus- ry explained to them. U was suggested in his connection that all the members could onduct a traveling exhibit and thus reach very one In the state who is Interested or may be interested In such matters. A committee consisting of Messrs. An drews , Vlerltng , Hospe , Holmes and Peters was appointed to arrange for the annual meeting of the association , which will tie held in this city Jaauary 14 at 8 o'clock in ho evening. The members entertained a suggestion to open permanent headquarters in Lincoln , to > o operated in connection with those in Omaha , and that assistant secretaries be appointed in every town In the state , whose business it will b * to notify members of all matters pending in which they may be par- Icularly interested. The question of Issuing a hook to be sent to every school ia the state was argued with so much favor that a committee con sisting of Messrs. Stelnart of Nebraska City , Harplia-i of Lincoln , Dempster of Beatrice , Black and Holmes of Omaha , Mr. Black being chairman , was appointed to re port on the cost of such a publication and the advisability of , .issuing rt. If a favor able report is mad * th book will contain illustrations of the , . Industries represented the association nd explanations of the methods employed m manufacture. A resolution was paiied SpressIni ; the satisfaction of the association , over .the action of the Board of P.urchue and Supplies in specifying when asking for bids that all sup plies for state institutions should be of state manufacture. The association expressed Its hope that the board would see fit in the future to favor Nebraska products further in its award of contract i. Among the directors present from other cities were Messrs. John W. Stelnart of Nebraska City , J. C. Harpham of Lincoln , C. D. Dempster of Beatrice and A. L , John son of Crete. Announcement * .
