" INDICATIONS BURNS LOSES Annual Meeting of Portland fold Miiing Company Precipitates Fight, COMMITTEE BUSY CANVASSING PROXIES Works All Day and Adjonraa at Sight lYfthoat Completing- the Task, bnt Chances Are President Barns Will lie Onated. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Portland Gold Mining company of Colorado, . Incorporated under the laws of Iowa, which begun here yesterday morning, adjourned at 9 o'clock last night until 0 o'clock this morning without accomplishing anything beyond the appointment of a com mittee on "credentials." The appointment of this committee was made necessary from the fact that there are over 4oO proxies and both President Burns and his friends and the faction which has lined tip to oust h.m from the presidency if possible insisted that a thorough canvass be made of the proxies held by those present and their right to vote the stock so-represented. Following the appointment of this com mittee an adjournment was taken to 2 p. m., but at that time the committee was not nearly through Its work and another adjournment was taken to 5 p. m. At this hour the committee was still laboring end a third adjournment was decided upon unt.l i p. m. At 9 o'clock the committee was still unable to report and there being no possibility of finishing Its canvass until a late hour the meeting was adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning. Indications were last night that the antls would vote a majority of the stock and that James F. Burns would be forced to step down and out from the office of presi dent which he has held since the organiza tion of the .company. First. Fight on Credentials. When the meeting was called to order by President Burns there were present: Frank Q. Peck, secretary and treasurer; Thomas Burns, member of the board of directors; A. T. Gunnel), attorney for the company at Colorado Springs; Carl 8v, Chamberlain end Tyson Dines, representing the Stratton Interests; Judge Harris, D. C. Williams, H. Masterson, private- secretary to President Burns; M.- Masterson, E. A. Richards of Manson, la.; Dillon Ross, local agent of the company; C. Q. Saunders, local attorney for President Burns. Owing to the large number of proxies held by those present It was decided to appoint a committee on credentials and President Burns named Judge A. T. Gunnel, Howard Masterson and p. C. Williams. This make up of the committee was not satisfactory to the antls and they moved that as a sub stitute a committee comprised of Frank G. Peck, Colonel C. G. Saunders and one other be appointed. Mr. Burns, however, stood pat and Insisted that as president he hsd the right to name the committee, this authority being placed in him by the by laws. , The opposition finally withdrew Its motion and the first round of the battle was won by Mr. Burns. 1 An adjournment was then taken to 2 p. m., but as the committee had not finished Its canvass of the proxies, another ad journment was taken to 6 p. m. At this hour the committee-was -still laboring fiard so -a' further adjournment to 9 o'clock at night was taken. Olwnfc- to the Btralned relations between President Bums and the Board of Directors two annual reports had been prepared for tne stockholders, one by Mr. Bums and the otheKby the directors. The directors' report was declared by them to be the official docu ment The reports are to all Intents and purposes Identical with the exception that that Issued by the directors does not con tain the report of the president. Refers to Labor Tronblca. In his report President Burns says: .. . Tha year Just closed has been an eventful one in, the history of the Portland company. Strife and turmoil in the great gold camp caused by the labor troubles hiu 'exlstuu, together with friction in, the board of.'dl reclors of our company, owing to tire stand I had taken in bringing suit against the governor of Colorado, the Mine Owners' association and others, restraining them from interfering with the operations of our property, as well as asking damages for the action of the governor in closing down the mine on June 9, 1904. Since the majority of the board of directors repudiated my pol icy, the active management of the company has been in their , hands, and .anytatng that. I have suggested for the beat Interests of the company has been overruled by their Votes. . r We believe that labor Is worthy ' of Its hire, and more especially Is this the case with the men who delve In the mines at the risk of their liven for the benefit of their employers. It la a hazardous life at beau The sympathetic strike called In the dis trict was entirely WTong, and If Governor Peabody had been sincere, and the mine owners likewise, the differences coulij have been arbitrated and the strike settled equit ably fop all parties concerned. But' the governor allowed himself to be used by the Mine Owners' association, and others, and encouraged deportation and banishment of Innocent men for the reason that, they belonged to a labor organization. The labor question is one of the greatest prob lems of the age and cannot be arbitrarily solved by the bayonet. - Concessions must be made by both sides. The persons who boastfully proclaim that they, have solved the problem of the centuries by the reign of terror, enforced at the point of the bayo net, trampling individual ami corporate rights, are likely to find some day that they are mistaken. Financially the company enjoyed a pros perous year, during 1K04, as shown by tha treasurer's report. The receipts were $i,616, 068.8(1; tha expenditures tl.802,247.24; I leav ing a net protU of 1S14.411.C1 During the I year dividends to the amount of $720,000' were paid and the balance In the hands of the treasurer on January 1, 19GS wus K91.1&4.M. Lp to data the Portland com pany's properties have produced IM.879. 6ttl.&4 and have paid la dividends 16,337, 080. During 1904 the production amounted to 96,621.386 tons from which 129,899,691 ounces of gold were obtained of a gross value of 13,598,724.84 and of which the net proceeds were 11.889.748.36. . nlng says the man absolutely declines to talk and that so far there Is not the light est Intimation that he would be willing to tell anything. Pretty Valentines, Two for a Cent. ' DeLong's, 406 Broadway, Omaha Police Know tha Pair, John Bernstein and James Arthur, the men in the county Jail awaiting trial on the charge of blowing the Treynor bank vault, have been Identified by the Omaha police as being members of a gang ar rested In that city shortly before the at tempted bank robbery on a general charge of vagrancy. Bernstein and Arthur, It Is stated, were arrested In company with two other men who were regarded by the au thorities across the river as dangerous Individuals. These two are believed by the Omaha polloe to have been with Bernstein and Arthur at the time the attempt was made to blow the bank safe. One Is, ac cording to reports received on this fide of the river yesterday, in Jail In Omaha and the polloe are now looking for his com panion. Sheriff Canning yesterday said that there waa not the slightest foundation tor the story published In an evening paper that Bernstein, the younger of the two mm In custody, was on the point of making a confession. On the contrary Sheriff Can- (OlMILE1 FAVOR BRIDGB BILL Promoters Explain Money Is Ready to Erect the M r ajctnre. The city council last night, St the re quest of Attorney 8. B. Wadsworth, one of the local Incorporators of the Central Railway and Bridge company, which now has a bill before congress to grant It franchise to construct a bridge across the Missouri river at this point, adopted the following resolutions: RsoIved, By the city council of Council Bluffs. Is., that we commend the action and efforts of United States Senators Al llson and Dolllver and Congressman Walter Fl Smith In advocating the passage of the Dili now Derore iitm u imru Diaifi enai., a-rantlne- a franchise for the construction of a bridge across the Missouri river to connect the two parts or t.'oiincll murts on opposite sides of the Missouri river; Resolved, That we deprecate the action taken before the senate committee by par ties who are hot acting for the public good but simply for the promotion of their own private gain and we condemn the attitude of such selflshnessi especially when it at tempts to besmirch the reputation, char acter and standing of reputable cltlsens. Mr. Wadsworth explained that the com pany as now formed was not financially able to construct the proposed bridge, but that as soon as the government franchise was secured there would he ample capital back of It to erect the structure. Both ends of the bridge, he said, would be on Coun cil Bluffs territory and that In the event of It being constructed, It would be used by tho electrlo line proposed to be built between Des Moines and Omaha. At the request of the executive committee of the Commorcial club, the members of which appeared before the council In a body, an ordinance waa passed granting a right-of-way for a switch track from First avenue across Twenty-fourth street and an alley to the new factory of the Standard Manufacturing company. The ordinance provides that In tha event of the plant shutting down for good the track shall be taken up. Alderman Weaver and Tlnley objected to the bills for the new Are hose being paid out of the new lire house fund and In sisted that they be. paid from the .regular approporlatlon for the fire department. The motion to pay bills out of the new Are house fund carried, Alderman Weaver, Tlnley and McMillan voting against it. At the request ,of the company owning the Union Driving park the council consented to refund the city taxes for the years 1901, 1903, 1903 and 1904 and to remit tho same for 1905, It also adopted a resolution re questing the Board of County Supervisors to take similar action In regard to the county taxes. It was explained on sup port of the request that the driving park had always been open to the public; that a portion had been used free of charge by the city as a pound and that It was not a source of revenue to-the parties own ing the property. A."E. Wlckerman, who appeared on behalf of the company, stated that It was the Intention to reorganize the company and with a 'view, of holding a county fair In the grounds this year. City Assessor Hardin submitted the ap pointment of the following deputies which the council approved:,' Frank C. Hardin, J. M. Shea. I O. Chrlstensen, Bartel Nel son and T. R. Hardin. ' T. "J. Griffin was granted permission to conduct the saloon at the corner of Broad way and Scott street. ' " Aldermen Tlnley, Olsorf and Gilbert were appointed a committee, to devise means of cleaning the streets. -J ' .Those In charge oftJie movement are receiving material support In their efforts to reorganize a. Young:Men's Christian as sociation In this clty. To date over 200 pledges of memberships have been secured and a meeting has been called for Thurs day evening at the First Baptist church to further consider the proposition and hear reports from the committees In charge. It has been suggested, and the plan has met with considerable favor, to secure the rooms In the third floor of the Meriiam block, bow occupied by the public library, which will become vacant as soon as the Oarnesle library building is completed, which It is expected will be in the early part of summer. ' f ' Some six years ago the Young Men's Christian association fii this' city died a natural death for lack of fund's, and when the rooms occupied by, it. In the Everett block were finally closed the association was deeply In debt. The question of whether the new organization, if It Is formed, will' be' expected to pay off the liabilities of the old Is a question which has yet tb be determined. It Is understood that several of the creditors of the old association are willing- to liberally discount their claims. i -. PROSPECTS OF ROAD BRIGHT Bondi Bold to Build Propose!

Moradunt of the St. Joseph, Albany A Des Moines railway arrived In the city today and states that the contracts for the con struction of the road will be let early In March. Mr. Moradunt comes from the east, where he was In conference with the Goulds. He states that the bonds of the road have been sold and the money will bar-furnished as needed. He says that neither the Goulds nor the Missouri Pa cific Is backing the present road, though Interests closely allied to them have fur nished the money to buy the bonds. Con cerning the route to be followed In Iowa, which has been changed somewhat, he says: 'Two changes have been made In the route since the original surveys, both cal culated to shorten the run between St. Joseph and Des Moines, and the result Is that about twenty miles have been lopped off our mileage. Instead of going from Allendale to Mount Ayr, around by way of Hatfield and Caledonia, we take a shoot straight across as the ' crow flies. Again, we go-from Tlngley to Macksburg In Iowa, by way of Afton Instead of via Creston, which takes a twelve-mllo kink out of the road, besides letting us Into a better stock country. OTerlnnd Will Stop. Overland No. 1 will now stop at Persia and Portsmouth on the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul for passengers going toward Council Bluffs or those wishing to get off from Chicago. The people of those places complained to the railroad commissioners that the train cut them off by not stopping and" the commission took It up with the road. The road claims that the number of passengers to and from these points Is so small that It does not pay to stop the train, but It is willing to do It as an accommodation. Governor Cummins nt OfHce.

It Is known that 6,000 shippers and farmers In the state have been asked for Information concern ing shipping facilities, and this will all be given to the association.
