UNION PACIFIC FRANCHISE
Suit of City to Annul Its Bight, on Union
Arena.
RAILROAD SAID TO HAVE FORFEITED
Contention Is Thnt llnlf-llonr t'anacn.
Her Service Wan to lie Opened

City Attorney Wadsworth has filed a
trial notice for the term of federal court
to be held in this city next month, In the
suit brought by the City of Council Bluffs
against the Union Paclflc Railway com
pany to annul the company's franchise on
Union avenue.
This suit was brought in the latter part
of 1S95 under Instructions from the then
city council In the district court and as
transferred on motion of the railroad com
pany to the United States court. The suit
was the outgrowth of a difference of opinion
between the Union Paclflc and the city
council over crossings and other matters.
The franchise on Union avenue was
granted to the Union Paclflc Railroad, com
pany In 183. In the suit brought by the
city U is contended that the Union Pa
clflc has not abided by the terms and pro
visions of the ordinance, granting it the
franchise, and that by Its failure to live
up td Its contracts with the municipality
It has forfeited all Its rights to and on
the thoroughfare In question. The city's
contention is that under section 2 of the
irom me junction oi union avenue ana
Bro.dw.jr to It. passenger depot in Omaha.
said trains to be run not less frequently
than every half hour, except Sundays, and
to be fit and suitable to accommodate first-
class travel. Further that the railway
company for a period of ten years and
more has failed and refused and still neg
lects and refuses to comply with these re
quirements of the ordinance and has aban-
a0Dtn a" P"enger trains from Union
avenuo and Broadway to Omaha. The or
dlnance further provided that In the ervent
of the railway company falling to carry
out the provisions that It should remove
all Its tracks from the avenue and the
city would be entitled to resume posses
sion of tbo thoroughfare.
At the time that the suit was talked of
the Union Paclflc represented to the coun
ell that It had not defaulted in carrying
out its contract with the city and that
when the dummy service between Broadway
and Omaha was discontinued,, there being
no further need for such service, it was
discontinued with the full sanction of the
then city council.
Used n
a llasbenr.
In a report made to the then city coun
en by City Solicitor Wad.worth. he said:
"By reference to the abstracts of the pro
ceedlngs of the city council. It will be
seen that the council has at no time either
directly or Indirectly recognized that the
Union Paclflc had the right to discontinue
the running of dummy trains. The 'city
council Has treated this question as
skeleton In the closet,' and whenever the
Union Paclflc neglected or refused to pay
taxes, build bridges, repair crossing, or
enter Into a contract to build a union
depot some councilman -would trot out this
skeleton' and attempt to frighten the
Union Paclflc to Bcquiesce In the wishes
of the city council."
The Union Paclflc has so far. beyond
transferring tho case to the federal court.
paid no attention to it and ha not vet
filed Its answer, although the suit was com
menced In 1699. While City Solicitor Wads-
worth has filed a trial notice for the March
term of court, he said yesterday that be
expected the Union Paclflc would move for
continuance. He said: "The suit Is a
legacy handed down to the present city
council by Its predecef s.r. Even if ne
suit should be Ultimately decided is favor
of the city, I do not see exactly what It
would do with the thoroughfare. It must
be admitted that there Is little or no use
for a dummy service and such a service.
with the competition of motor cars, would
necessarily be maintained at a loss"
Several of the aldermen have expressed
themselves as being in favor of allowing
the suit to be dropped, believing that noth
ing can bo obtained by further prosecut
ing It.

BUILDING PROSPECTS GOOD
Wcr Situation Settled nnd Henlthy
Activity on "Work Actually
Under Way.
From the standpoint of tho workman
and the contraptor, the general conditions
of the building trades was never better
in Omaha at this ttmo of tho year. With
tho exception of the hod carriers It has
been definitely settled that there will be
no demands for Increased wages by the
workmen In the building trades and ll
has been almost as definitely settled that
if the hod carriers go out on a strike to
enforce their demands, they will receive
little support from tbe other unions. I
was announced In one of the labor paper
last week that the Building Trades council
had been reorganized, but the authority of
the temporary presiding officer of the
society which may ta'ke the place of the
old council. It can be stated that the ques
tion of the reorganization will not be set
tled until next Thursday. That evening
there will be a meeting In Labor Temple
and those bodies which have decided to
be represented In the council will have
accredited representatives. It is under
stood that some of the delegates' creden
tials will be granted conditionally. The
carpenters. It Is understood, will not go
Into tbe new society unleea the bricklayers
or plumbers Join. Members of the brick
layers' union say there Is little probability
of that union Joining the council and the
plumbers have not decided what course to
pursue.
Independent of the .ntlnnul.
It Is certain, however, that it the Omaha
council Is revived it will be Independent
of any national organization. Tbe old
council sent Its charter back to the
national last week and so far as It Is con
cerned has gone, out of business entirely.
Tbe chief trouble in the organization of
the councit has been about the matter of
working cards. Each union Is supposed to
Issue cards to Its members, but the coun
cil finds that It cannot enforce Its rules
unless it has Jurisdiction of tbe Individual
cards, In so far as It must certify that the
union granting the card is In good stand
ing in the organization and that tho enrd
only protects men when working on Jobs
where members of affiliated unions are
employed. With any one of the three big
unions, the carpenters, the bricklayers or
the plumbers, out of the council, the
movement has little chae for success, in
the opinion of members of the building
trades.
As far as work is concerned this spring
both employer and employed look forward
to n good year. There are not as many
rumors of large buildings this season as
there was at the same time last year, but
the work In actual progress Is greater.
While one year ago tbe talk was all In the
direction of wholesale houses, factories and
warehouses, this spring the tendency seems
to be toward the building of retail stores
and residences. In tha outside districts
many houses htch will cost from J1.500 to
$5,000 are under way at present and sevei-at
houses of more pretentious characfe? are
In contemplation.
.Mr. Bvnn Mnnalon.
Plans for tbe Evans residence on West
Farnam street were submitted to con
tractors some time ago. but since then Mr.
Evans has decided on somo changes and
new plans have not been announced.
Another new residence mentioned for tbe
west end Is that of Judge Vlnsonhaler,
which, rumor says. Is to be built on West
Farnam street and to cost $10,000.
Two of the parishes of the Roman Catho
lic church In this city have In contempla
tion new church buildings, Father Har
rington of St. Cecilia's church will erect a
building at Fortieth and Burt streets, to
cost $25,000, and plans for this house will
be placed In the hands of the contractors
at an early date. Father Glauber of St.
Mary Magdalene's will erect a church at
Nineteenth and Douglas streets some time
during the season, but the plans are not
yet ready.
In the wholesale district there are un
defined rumors of large houses to be built,
but tbe only one which has really taken
shape at present Is a seven-story building
at Tenth and Jones streets, to be erected
by the Ames estate. A row of stores with
flats above them will be erected at Tenth
street near the Burlington depot, end one
or two downtown retail bouses and hotels
have In contemplation alterations which
will Increase their capacities.
The Omaha school board ts expected to
supply considerable work In tbe building
line this spring. Aside from the new High
school now under construction. It has
been found necessary to make arrangements
to a'commodate the pupils of the Pacific
school. The board has set aside SU.oOO

L'lt After the Contention.
DBS MOINES, Feb. 24. (Special,) Many
newspaper publishers, especially those of
small dally papers, are likely soon to pre
pare and forward to congress from iowa
n petition for revision of the postal laws
and regulations lth regard to rural mall
deliveries. They have discovered there Is
a discrimination which reems to be with
out reason and Is troublesome to f.ome of
the publishers. The newspapers arc car
ried free In the county on rural routes for
publications Issued not more frequently
than once a week. A dally or Ecmt-
wcekly, or trl-weekly publication sent out
over a rural mall route musi oear a i
cent stamp extra exactly as a paper sent
to a street address In a city. If the peri
odical Is published In some other county
no extra stamp Is needed. The publishers
of the small dallies aud seml-wecklles have
practically all their circulation In one
county and they are practically shut out
of the rural mall routes. In Webster City,
when two weekly papers were combined It
was desired to publish a semi-weekly. In
stead of combining the name they publish
two weekly papers of different names from
tho same office and they go free over the
rural routes. Publishers of some otner
weeklies have desired to Issue sea'i-weekl
and take advantage of tho rural routes,
but do not see how they are to evade the
regulations which require them to stamp
each paper separately with an extra 1-cent
stamp. This matter was discussed among
the newspaper men at the meeting of th
Upper Des Moines Editorial association
and a movement Is under way to bring
about a thaage In the regulations.
Liquor Question Disposed Of.
Judge Burnham In the district court of
Tama county has held that Intoxicating
liquors In possession of an express com
pany shipped to a local purchaacr are not
subject to confiscation under the Iowa
prohibitory law a question which has never
been fully settled by tne iowa supreme
court. The case was one In which liquor
had been seized and condemned Just before
It was delivered to the customer, having
been purchased of nn agent of an Illinois
firm. Judge Burnham said: "In the case
at Kir It will be observed that by the
agreed statements of facts the orders for
the liquor In question were ta'Ken by an
agent of the conelgnors and such orders
sent to the consignors for their approval
and for shipment thereunder. It haa been
repeatedly held that an order so given, to
be approved or accepted by tne consign
ors, was a sale at tbe place where the con
signors did business, and in this case such
place of business was In the state of Illi
nois. And following tbe undisputed lines
if authority upon this question the court
must find tbat the sale of liquors in ques
tion was made at the time and place, when
and where tho orders given were approved
nd accented by tho consignor. If I am
right In the conclusion thaC. the sale of
liquors In controversy was made In Illinois,
then such liquors In tbo transportation
thereof by the consignor to tbe consignee
In Tama. Ia.. were the subjects of Inter
state commerce and tho prohibitory laws
of Iowa could not affect them until they
had become mingled with the common
nronertv of the state by the delivery to
the consignee."
The court ordered tho liquors returned
to tho express company. During the last
year a number of similar cases have come
up In various parts of the state to tho
annoyance of the express companies.
Guilty of Mnimliiuulitrr.
Albert J. Wilcox of Calhoun county was
found guilty of manslaughter at Rockwell
City after a trial which lasted all the
week. Wilcox killed his father. The tes
timony showed that the father was quar
relsome and dlragreeablo and that he had
threatened the son. Tho defense was that
the deed was committed In self-defense
and the testimony for tbe defendant was
so strong that a verdict against him was
not expected.
Chnrlra City Kleotrlc Line.
A proposition has been ordered sub
mitted to the voters of Charles City, Floyd
county, at the spring election for a fran
chise for an electric railway in the city.
The promoters, S. L. Kern of Charles City
and G. W. Dawson of Waterloo, Intend to
construct an electric line from Charles
City across the southern part of Floyd
county to Greene, on the Shell Rock river.
Tho line will be about fourteen miles long
and will pass through a rich farming coun
try, at present somewhat removed from
railroad connections. The capital Is to be
furnished almost entirely by Charles City
persons and there is little doubt tho fran
chise will bo voted by the people.
IlulldliiK nnil l.onn Business.
The receipts by the state auditor from
fees on account of building and loan as
sociations In Iowa amounted to 1550 this
year, which Is $110 less than last year, in
dicating that there has been a considerable
decreaso In the number of the building
and loan associations doing business In
Iowa the latt year. A great many of theso
associations are comparatively small and
confined In their operations to one town or
one county. Unfavorable legislation en
acted by the last legislature has tended to
discourage tho promoters. It Is also re
ported by the managers of these associa
tions that tbe abundance of money in the
Iowa banks and consequent lower rate of
Interest obtainable through ordinary chan
nels has operated to greatly decrease the
business done by building and loan as so
clatlons In tbe matter of making loans of
money.
Cedar llnplds Wnnta Convention.
A delegation of Cedar Rapids business
men was in Des Moines last week expect
ing to meet members of the republican
state coramlttco and present the claims of
Cedar Rapids for the next republican state
convention. It Is now rejarded as certain
that the next convention will, be a big one
There will be over 1,600 delegates unless
the ratio Is changed materially and the
contest promises to be such that every
delegate and alternate will attend and there
will be hundreds of others present. Cedar
Rapids desired the convention last year,
but did not get it. Now the Cedar Rapids
people claim they are going to have
abundance of hotel room and a sufficient
ball. A custom has grown up In recent
years of requtrlng the city In which tho
convention Is held to pay the state .com
mittee handsomely and pay all expenses
and Des Moines has refused to do this; so
the Cedar Rapids people have hopes tbelr
city will be favored.
