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.

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

of vagrancy. Bernstein and Arthur, It Is
stated, were arrested In company with two
other men who were regarded by the au

Individuals. These two are believed by the
Omaha polloe to have been with Bernstein

made to blow the bank safe. One Is, ac
cording to reports received on this fide of

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,

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 -.

GOVERNOR CUMMINS BACK IN OFFICE
Corn Belt Ment Prodnrera to Take
lp Question of Aliened Delays
In Getting; Stork to the

(From a Staff Co-respondent.)
PES MOINES. Feb. 6. t Special. )F. 8.
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.
Governor Cummins was at his office to
day for the first time after an absence of
one week at his home, where he was held
by a cold. The governor has had to cancel
all his speaking dates for the week out
of town and his only address will be that
of this week before the Corn Belt Meat
Producers' association In this city. The
governor has accepted tho Invitation of
the Sioux City Young Men's Christian as
sociation to deliver an address at the
banquet there to the business men of the
city February 27. The date was fixed for
earlier In the month, but waa changed to
suit the convenience of the governor.
Captain Loscan Accepts.
Captain Guy E. Logan of Red Oak wired
to Adjutant General Thrift today his ac
ceptance of the appointment as assistant
adjutant general with rank as major. He
will not take up the duties actively for a
time till he has resigned his position as
county recorder there and settled his af-.
falrB, which will also give Major John T. :
Hume 'an opportunity to make other arrangements.
Want Waiting; Room Open.
Patrons of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul at Plymouth, la., have complained
to the railroad commissioners that the de
pot at Plymouth Is not kept open for the !
8:52 passenger In the evening. In their
petition to have the matter rectified they
state that the train Is sometimes from fif
teen minutes to an hour late and they
object to having to stand around in tho I
cold to wait for It.
Cattlemen Tomorrow.
The convention of the COm Belt Meat
Producers' association will be held here,
beginning tomorrow. Governor Van Sant
and Governor Cummins will each address
the association. It Is- expeoted that one
of tho principal matters to be considered
by the association will be the matter of
the slow service to Chicago. It is esti
mated that It takes from six to nine hours
longer to get a car load of cattle to Chi
cago now than It did two or three years
ago. Every hour on the road means a
shrinkage of 13 on the car and for nine
hours 127. It la expected that strong res
olutions will be drawn up and steps taken
to Investigate the matter. 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. The feeding
in transit privilege, which is granted to
Nebraska but denied to Iowa cattlemen
and farmers, will also be a matter for
discussion.
