case of Arthur J. VanKuran, a former resi
dent of Omaha, who Is on trlnl nt Salt
Lake, charged with embezzling funds of
tho Oregon Short Line, of which road ho
was treasurer until his arrest last February.
Tho defense Is that while the books show
n shortage, It Is due to the system of book
keeping nnd the handling of funds and not
to any speculation on the part of VanKuran.
It Is nald that tho trial will be long drawn
out, as the attorneys for the defendant
are making their case from tho evidence
ouppllcd by the witnesses for the prosecu
tion. On cross-questioning It has been
shown that the treasurer wa charged with
money which he never received, but which
was deposited In a local bank by agents
and the deposit slips sent to him: that
tbcro were discrepancies found In the ac
counts at previous time, which were easily
explained, but the books had not been ex
amined from Mny, when they were found
to be correct, until tho following February,
when VanKuran waB arrested and not per
mitted to make explanation.
The amount of the alleged shortage Is
about $8,000.

For the first time In many wesks Mayor
Kelly presided nt the council meeting.
Whllo an Immense amount of routine busi
ness wna trnnsactod. there was nothing of
special Importance. Heports from heads of
departments were received nnd filed without
comment.
On tho matter of street Improvement dis
tricts n report from City Attorney Lambert
was read reciting tho fact that Improve
ment district could not Icgnlly be created
until somo provision hnB been made for tho
grading of street nnd alley Intersections,
At the suggestion of Johnston this report
was referred back to the nttorney pending
further action by the council. Later the
subject was again discussed and It wns de
cided to have tho city attorney draft
an ordlnnncc, providing for the issuing of
bonds to pay for Intersection work. The
amount of bonds to be Issued will bo de
termined ns soon ns It Ib learned how much
grading Is contemplated by property owners.
Councllmnn .Miller found In looking over
tho blllB that Inspector Clark wns having
his horso shod nt the expenso of iho cltv.
Thla was ordered stopped.
Miller made another attempt to stop tho
pay of City Prosectuor Henry C. Murphy
by recommending that the ordinance creat
ing tho office of prosocutor be repealed.
When It came to a vote the motion was
ost.
Tho mayor appointed B. B. Anderson. S.
B. Chrlstlo and David Anderson, apprais
ers for the grading of K street, between
Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets.
To Favor Itnllwiii- KxtenMmi.
At the request of Adklns the street com
missioner was directed to proceed at once
to fill holes In L street, between Twentieth
and Twenty-fourth streets. In order that
the laying of street car rails for tho Mis
souri avenue extension might not be de
layed. City Engineer Beat was directed to es
tablish the grade on Twelfth street, from
I to J streets ns soon as convenient.
Permission was granted to tho residents
of Archer avenue to grade the street from
Thirteenth to Fifteenth streets, providing
tno work la dono without cost to the cltv.
An ordinance was Introduced, providing
for the building by the Union Pacific of a
new bridge across Mud creek in Albright.
Plans of tho bridge wero exhibited nnd
no objection appeared. Tho city authorities
and the railroad officials will doubtless en

NEW SYSTEM ALMOST READY
Union Pacific Will Itineurat? Improved
Swltc'i and Signal lo'iemi.
IN OPERATION WITHIN TWO WEEKS
Interlocking? ArrniiKeinent rteqnlrr

October IS will see the Inauguration of
the Union Pacific's new Interlocking switch
and signal system In the Union nation
arda. At the ramc time it Is probable that
the block signal system between Council
Bluffs and flllmore will be put In operation.
These two Improvements ,-epretent a large
outlay and mean that the beat safeguard
known to railroading have been adopted.
Tho switch and signal system Is oper
ated from two towers, one Just cast of
Thirteenth street And the other west of
the bridge near Sixth street. They are
21x22x13, with the operating floor twelve
feet above the tracks. Here Is a system of
seventy-five leverj, control. Ing sevuty-onj
switches and soventy-six signals.
One operative will be required In each
tower. All movements of trains In the dis
trict will be subject to their manipulation.
Tho work requires a ceol head and steidv
nerves, but electricity is the power that
moves the switches. The operative merolv
touches tho proper lever and the motor
does the rest. Electricity will nlso light
tho signal lamps.
Insure Snfety,
The Interlocking arrangement Is euch
that tho route mint olwns bo set up with
switches beforo the signal can be glcn.
Then the act of giving the signal locks all
tho switches. This Insures safety, ns It Is
practically impossible for an accident to
occur.
The block signal system extends over the
t'nlon Pacific's track from Council Bluffs
to Oilmcre. ten mllea southeast of Omaha,
a total distance of thirteen miles of doublo
or twenty-six miles of single track.
This system is entirely nutoir.ntlc In oper
ation, electricity being Iho motive ngent.
Tho trackage Is divided Into sections rang
ing from a half mile to a mile and a half
In length, which arc called blocks. At oich
block is a signal which Ib rend by position
In tho day tlmo and by vari-colored lights
nt night. If there Is a trnln In one block
the signal shows the diinger sign to the
train following In the next block; if in tho
next block but one It says "go slow." Thus
an engineer can nlwayB tell Just what Is In
front of him. Trains en tho double track
age run right-handed entirely.
The contact of the car whtcls works Iho
signals by means of electricity. The pres
sure has nothing to do with It, as a hnndcnr
will set tho signals as cnslly as tho big
gest locomotive. Tho mechanism Is rath'r
complicated and is placed out along thu
tracks In convenient receptacles and In tho
signals themselves.
