Ceadactere.
All of th railroads running personally
conducted' ttourlst excursion cara to the
west. Including tha .Rock Island, Burlfng
ton, Milwaukee, Northwestern and Lnlon
Pacific, will ' discontinue sending a con
ductor In charge of such excursions after
January L '
Borne time ago the Southern Pacific,
Which bandlea all Of theae cara weet of
Ogden, Issued a notice that this claaa of
equipment would have to be delivered to
I La line on three certain days of each week.
This ruling wu made for the reason that
the trajno had become ao heavy the South
ern Pacific could not handle the business
when It was turned over at any and all
times, aa hae been the custom, in the past.
When the rule went Into effect the South
ern Pacific made up .special trains consist
ing of tourist cars and ran them through,
thua cutting down the running time. The
cars were received by , that, company from
all eastern connections and it waa found
that In some cases six . cara were turned
over on a certain day from as many lines
and each car had a conductor In
charge. The thought immediately occurred
to the passenger officials of the various
roads that so many conductors were un
necessary and steps Were taken to call the
officials together and see if the expense
could not be lessened by cutting them out
entirely.
Lxt Mae Cones Over.
The suggestion mot with' opposition from
but one line, and it was understood yester
day morning that this line has practically
agreed to discontinue sending Us conduc
tors after thaf.' first of the year. About
fifty of these oonductors are In the service
of tha lines ' mentioned above and their
salaries range from $75 to 1100 per month.
, The ouatcm of sending out personally con
jeted excursions to Portland, San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles was started about
ten or twelve years ago and the business
has grown gradually, until It has assumed
large proportions.
When the conductors .are taken oft the
regular Pullman conductor will look after
the comfort of the traveling public and
collect the tickets In the tourist cars, and
tha "personally conducted" will be a thing
of the past.
iris said that Samuel Hutchinson, gen
eral manager of the tourist excursions for
the Harrfman system, will still remain In
the employ of the Harrimnn lines, but
probably la some other capacity. Mr.
Hutchinson's office' Is In Chicago, ,and he
has had complete charge of all the tourist
oonductors on the . Harriman, system.
Shippers Mast Pay Hereafter.
The roads belonging to the Western
Trunk Line association will, ao longer re
turn unsaleable and damaged goods free.
Hereafter shippers will be required to pay
half of the tariff rate when goods are or
dered returned for these reasons. .
Heretofore It has been the custom of all
lines to ship goods back to the consigner
In cases where they have become damaged
or unsaleable In transit free of freight
charges, but the lines assert that the priv
ilege has been abused -to such an extent
by sfiippers that It has become necessary
to discontinue the cuatom. The return
freight on such shipments will have to be
prepaid before they will be carried back.
. It Is expected that this .ruling will meet
with 'strong opposition ' from all shippers
who have been In the bablt of taking ad
Vantage of the privilege.

Discussing the possibility of the advance
In the price of soft coal as a consequence
of the latest raise in transportation rates
from Chicago points to Omaha of 20 cents
a ton, a local coal man makes some inter
esting comments. In the first place, he
throws upon the railroads the entire re
sponsibility for the exorbitant price of this
commodity and defends the mine owners,
except where these happen to be the rail
roads themselves.
"I was looking over our books the first
of the month," said this gentleman, "and
I found one bill of a little over r00 which '
we owed a certain producer from whom we
buy in Illinois. This was, of course, for
coal. On the other side of the page I
found an expense account which we held
against this same producer for something
over $4001 don't just now recall the exaot
figures in either Instance. But this I re
member distinctly, that the difference be
tween our bills was $95, in favor of the
producer. In other words, that producer
sold us over 1500 worth of coal and realised
but $96, which must go to pay for its pro
duction and. loading. It on the cars. This
seems Incredible, but it Is true.
"Where did the rest goT Why to the
railroads for carrying the ooal from the
mine ' to Omaha, and yet the railroads
have only this week raised the rate on soft
coal, this very ' commodity of which we
are speaking, 20 cents a ton from these
mines to the Missouri river. It is a simple
outrage and it Is too bad that all the people
can't see that, so far as this sort of coal Is
concerned, the railroads, and not the pro
ducer or the retailer, are absolutely to
blame for the extortionate prices. There
Is but one conclusion, and that Is that the
railroads raise rates on coal simply be
cause they can. Let nobody be foolish to
think for an Instant that It Is because they
must to make ends meet.'
. "Of course there are some kinds of coal
for the high price of which the mine owners
are to blame anthracite, .for Instance but
think a moment and you will remember
that In . these eases the mine owners are
the railroads, for nine-tenths of the an
thracite coal produced in the Pennsylvania
valleys Is controlled by nine coal-carrying
railroads. It Is little wonder In face of.
these facts that railroads are buying up
all the coal mines and unexploited coal
lands they can."
"Do you expect the price of soft coal in
Omahiy to go up as a result of the rail
roads' advance in freight rates?" was
asked.
'I wouldn't wonder a bit," was the reply.
SAYS HE WILL CONDEMN DEN
Wlthnell So Informs Owners, Where
upon Ak-fiar-Ben Governor .
Threatens a Fight.
The Coliseum may be officially con
demned. Building Inspector Wlthnell has
notified the owners of the old den, Oraham
& Ure, that- he has personally condemned
the building and will bring the matter up
shortly before the Advisory board. -
"We have at last received notice, after
the thing has been In the papers for some
time, that the building Is considered un
safe," said W. T. Oraham. "As far as
condemning it la concerned. It makes little
difference to us. We have wanted to tear
It down for three yeas, but the knights
wanted It left urn It is. ; Not that the build
ing is unsafe, but it contains a great deal
of useful lumber. If It is condemned we
will go ahead and tea It down ourselves.
The building of course needs, some re
pairs, but it is quite safe. One corner of
the raised seats sunk down at the ball,
but it was loaded with people. The balls
will not be held there again."
"Ak-Sar-Ben wants the Coliseum only for
a workshop" said one of the governors,
after reading the protest of Building In
spector Wlthnell, In which he made known
his strong objections to the further use
of the den. "We have no Intention what'
ever of using the den for another ball. I
think that that fact will largely do away
with Mr. Wlthnell's objection, as at no
other time do large crowds assemble there.
The Auditorium undoubtedly will be finished
In time for our fall festivities and will be
the place for the ball. The initiations must
be held during the summer, of course, but
if it is true, as I noticed In The Bee, that
the building may be inclosed this winter,
it may be that an arrangement can be
reached by which we can do our weekly
work In the Auditorium. We do not need
upholstered seats or any finished interior
for our purposes and the roughly completed
Auditorium would answer admirably. As
far as condemning the den is concerned
the board will be willing to fight the matter
if necessary."

Derelioti in Election Contest,
LATTER CLAIMS THREE THOUSAND MARGIN
Legal Flaht for District Co art Clerk
ship Between Democratic aad Re
publican Nominees Before
J ad s;e Vlaaoahaler.
The Broadwell-Blngham contest to de
termine which has been legally elected to
the office of clerk of the district court
made its appearance before Judge Vinson
haler yesterday on a motion on the
part of Frank A. Broadwell, the defendant
and the present incumbent of the office of
clerk of the district court, to make more
specific.
The conteet papers in this suit were filed
two weeks ago by W. W. Bingham,
through his attorneys, Byron Q. Burbank
and A. W. Jeffcrls. Mr. Bingham's legal
representatives were present during the
canvassing of the board by County Clerk
Drexel and secured data at that time upon
which they based the allegations in their
complaint. Additional Information waa se
cured through friends of Bingham and
these related principally, to the improper
conduct of election officials In certafti
South Omaha precincts, principally the
First precinct of the Sixth ward and the
Second precinct of the Fourth ward.
In the complaint which Mr. Bingham
filed It was stated that the officials of the
election In one of these precincts were
drunk and that the clerk waa lying on the
floor during the counting of the ballots.
In the other precinct It was alleged that
the election officials did not proceed Imme
diately to count the votes after the polls
had closed, but closed the doors and went,
out to get something to eat; that before
counting the votes they, were Indiscrimi
nately and profusely scattered about the
tables and on the floor, and that they were
handled freely by others present than the
election officials.
Left Work Over Night. .
In another precinct. It was stated, the
election officers, without having completed
the count, adjourned about midnight and
went to their homes and did not return
until the next morning at 8 o'clock, when
they finished . their .work, . the. count being
completed shortly after the noon hour.
When his complaint was filed Mr. Bing
ham did not state the names of the offend
ing election officials. In the motion to
make more specific, which was argued be
fore Judge Vinsonhaler . yesterday, Mr.
Broadwell asks that the plaintiff be or
dered to name the election officials who are
alleged to have actedv Illegally and those
who were Bald to have been drunk. It Is
argued by the defense that these parties
should be named in order that they may be
interviewed by the defense as well as by
the plaintiff before the beginning of the
suit
Just what Mr. Broadwell's policy In this
action will be Is at this time unknown, aa
he has thirty days In which to make a
reply to the complaint which has been
made by Bingham. Jn the complaint by
Bingham it is alleged that a count of the
official ballots under the supervision of the
court will show that he had a plurality of
the votes cast as against the plurality now
credited to Broadwell, and that Instead of
the returns showing a small margin In
favor of Broadwell the returns will indi
cate nearly a 1,000. plurality for Bingham.
It Is alleged that many or the ballots are
Illegal because Improperly 'marked.
The trial of this case will occupy not less
than two years, as It has been Intimated
that . the case will go up to the higher
courts, no matter which side may be
awarded a victory before Judge Vinsonhaler.
CALLS OMAHA EASY, PICKING
Man Suspected of Robbing Black the
Hatter Glvea Hla Tongae Too
Much Leeway.
J. M. Ross, who was arrested for va
grancy Friday and sent to the county jail
for five days, will be made to stand trial
on the charge of burglary when he is re
leased. It has been ascertained by the
police that he is the man who robbed
Black, the hatter, 106 South Sixteenth
street, of $28 In cash about three months
ago. On that occasion Rosa effected an
entrance to Black's store by cutting g
pane of glass out of a skylight and let
ting himself down Into the store by means
of a rope. He had evidently located Mr,
Black's money prior to the raid, for he
"passed up" the cash register and hunted
out a box of half hose In which Mr. Black
had secreted the cash for the night. Ross
got to bragging at the county jail about
his cleverness and remarked that Omaha
was easy and that he Intended spending
the remainder of. his natural life within
Its confines, and this led to his connection
with the Black robbery.

Property owners along Ixx-ust strwt be

posure of the attempt of Byron O. Bur
bank to collect from the city pny for a
strip of the street and are not chary of
.the opinions as to the part City Attorney
Wright has taken In recommending that
the city pay $3,900 for the strip the courts
have decreed belongs to the public. These
men say that not a property owner on
Locust street has any sympathy with the
Cathers-Burbank move, and that the al
leged petition that Cathers has offered to
the council does not contain the name of a
Locust street property owner or taxpayer.
The names on the petition are those of
men who own property In other parts of
the Sixth ward, and many of them are
nonresidents.
Now that The Bee has exposed the mat
ter, the property owners along Locust
street are awake to the situation and they
will present to the council a counter pe
tition asking that the prospective settle
ment be abandoned.
Locust street has been in use for six
teen years," says one of these men, and
can't see why we should now be asked
to pay Mr. ' Burbank or any of his clients
for ground that the courts have held be
longs to the public. And If John T. Cathers
wants to plat his piece of ground at the
corner of Aha boulevard, let him dedicate
the street to the publio as other people
have done. Instead of forcing the 'city to
pay for it, and thus improve his private
property at public expense. If we had
the right kind of a. city attorney theBe
matters would not be threatening us now."
GETS HIS DATES BADLY MIXED

The question as to where a man's home
i received a satisfactory answer yester
day In the case of William McDonald
against tho City of Omaha, which is on
trial before Judge Dickinson.
TMs lb an action against the city for per
sonal damages to the extent of $5,000. The
plaintiff, William McDonald, is a young
man 19 years of age, -and the suit is brought
in his behalf by John McDonald, his father.
It la alleged that on February 10, 1901, Wil
liam McDonald fell on a slippery and de
fective sidewalk at Sixteenth and Webster
streets and broke his arm, and that he has
sustained permanent injuries.
John McDonald, the lad's father. Is in
terested In some western projects and testi
fied that previous to his removal to this
city he had lived for thirty-three years in
Creston, la.- Under cross-examination the
fact was developed that McDonald had been
n .the weet for a number of years. The
question was then put to him as to whether
he had not' stated that he had lived at
Creston during that time. The reply waa
unexpected and sufficiently amusing to up
set the jury, the attorneys and the court
with laughter:
Well, there is where I had my washing
done, and that's a man's home. Isn't it?"
The effort to keep a sober face In view of
this answer was too great a task and the
jurors burst into laughter, which was
maintained, until finally the court, to the
relief of the attorneys and everyone else
as all were laughing ordered the Jurors to
take a short recess. --".-. ,

TO KEEP SIDEWALKS CLEAN

De the Basinets.
PRESCRIBES SOME STRENUOUS DOINGS

Groand.
The ordinance desired by Councilman
Hack to compel property owners and
tenants to clean snow and Ice from con
tiguous sidewalks Is being prepared by
Assistant City Attorney Herdman and will
be submitted to the council next Tuesday
night.
The ordinance will make It Incumbent
upon both landlords and tenants to clean
the walks In front of the property in
which they are interested, the first upon
penalty of being held responsible for any
accidents that' may result and the second
under a fine not to exceed 126 for com
mitting a misdemeanor by failing to assist
in a police measure calculated to protect
the public.
In addition. If the owners do not have
the walks cleaned It wUl be mandatory
upon the Board of Public Works to pro
ceed with the work and certify the cost
to the council, which la directed to Impose
a tax upon the negligent freeholders. Al
though a previous ordinance somewhat of
this character was repealed, legal opinion
holds that this provision, as well as the
others to be set forth in the ordinance, are
authorised by the charter and can be en
forced. Meat Get Baay at Once.
As outlined at present the ordinance
would require landlords and tenants to re
move snow and Ice from walks within one
hour after the storm has ceased, or before
9 o'clock In the morning in case the ele
ments have warred during the night.
Should patriotism and civic pride ebb so
low or the worthy citlsen sleep so late as
to fall to shovel off the snow, the Board
of Public Works is supposed to get busy
at once and fix out a lot of the unemployed
with remunerative but frostly Jobs.
Mo mercy is to, be shown tha possessors
of vast tracts of vacant lota. Should a
pedestrian slip and fall upon the walk
contiguous the city legal department will
attempt to hold the owner of the lots re
sponsible. Just as it has in the past, with
fair success.'
Protection far Landlord.
"The landlord may protect himself by
Inserting the walk-cleaning clause in his
lease," said a lawyer. "Should he be held
for damages he can turn to the negligent
tenant for relief and, unless I am greatly
mistaken, he will .be able to secure judg
ment against him.
This ordinance should work a great deal
of good In all parts of town where some
few tenants or property owners absolutely
decline to sweep the snow from their walks
during the winter. Every other bit of side
walk for blocks may be perfectly clean of
Ice and the accumulations of any number
of snowstorms permitted to form a small
glacier in front of the lasy man's door.
The new ordinance will fix it so that he
may be arrested and fined and ' held ac
countable if the city be drawn into a dam
age suit by reason of his Indisposition to
toll."

The case of James P. English against

county to the United States circuit court.
The case was originally brought In Judge
uay s court to secure an injunction pre
venting the defendants from removing the
law library from that building. The or'g
Inal petition states that many lawyers
were Induced to vacate their offices in
other buildings and occupy rooms in the
New York Life building, and as an addi
tional inducement a law library was to
be maintained there, to which law tenants
of the building had free access. The
projected removal of the library, it is
held. Is In violation of the terms of the
lease of the plaintiff with the defendants,
which does not expire until January, 1906,
The defendants, In their . answer, hold
that the maintenance of a library in the
building was not a condiUon of. the lease
and that said library waa established at
a cost of 110,000, and that $2,600 per year

to settlement and they will be used for
the construction of Immense reservoirs for
