MATTER NEVER UP IN OFFICIAL COUNCIL Union Paclflo Vice President Saye Freaent System Will Obtain So Far as Any Authority Sow Goes. " "There la not a thing in the story, so far aa I know; the matter never has come up for consideration and was never discussed Inside of authoritative circles, to my knowl edge," said Vice President and General Manager Mohlor of the Union Pacific, when shown the Associated Press dispatch from Ban Francisco saying a scheme was about to be put Into effect retiring Harrlman from the presidency of the four Paclflo roads, making Mohler president of the Union Pacific, Calvin of the Southern Pacific, Ban croft of the Oregon Short Line, and either Park or Buckingham of the Oregon, Kali way and Navigation company. "I can say positively that so far aa we know here there la nothing to that story. I am going to remain in Omalfa. Of course I cannot speak tor the others men tioned." The Story from the Coast. The Associated Press story Is: BAN FRANCISCO. May 26.-FolloVing the retirement of Jiimes Agler as manager of tha western system of the Southern Pa clflo company and the reorganization of the divisions of the rotid Into two dis tricts, comes 'a report to the effect that K. It. Harrlman and his associates In til) control of the western railroads have de cided to elect separate presidents and boards of directors for each of their roads and that the first step to be taken In this direction will be made shortly when Harrl man, who Is now president of the four companies that compose his network of lin"s, wm resign irom all. or these posi tions to become chairman of an executive board that will be created at the proper time In New Vork. According to reports that have reached the higher officials of the Southern Pacific company In this city. Vice President and General Manager Calvin will become the president of that corporation, with his headquarters In this city; A. I.. Mohler, ' vice president and general manager of the Union Pacific, will he elected president of Unit company, wiih future headquarters in Omaha; V. II. linneroft will be promoted Jc the presidency nf the Oregon Short .lne, and possibly General Superintendent Park of the Union Pacific or General Super intendent Buckingham of the Oregon Short Line will 'be made. president of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company. Bart Starts fbsggti, It was only m November, 1903, that Horace G. Hurt resigned as president of the Union raclrlc. He waa succeeded by K. H. Harrlman,' whose purpose for be coming president of each of these four roads, with an acting vice president In charge of each, had long been announced. B. E. Buckingham then became the high est official at the Union Pacific headquar ters, bearing the title of superintendent of transportation. In effect he was general manager. But Mr. Buckingham was trans ferred to Salt Lake City aa general super intendent of the Oregon Short Line, a posi tion in advance of the one he bad held with the Union Pucillc. Mr, Mohler, previously president of the Oregon, Rail way and Navigation company, with head quarters at Portland, waa elected vice president and general manager of the Union Pacific, a position of much greater magnitude than his former one'. lis then eame U Omaha and Is still here in charge of the road. W. L. Park, general superintendent of the Vnlon Pacific, u ho was promoted from his division superintendency at Cheyenne, soon after Mr. Burt resigned, is still in Omaha, and so far as any Information here is concerned, is likely to remain where he Is for a while. That Worthlngton It urn or. The further story which has been floating around for some time that Mr. Bucking ham was to become the successor of Gen eral Manager Worthlngton of the Harrl man roads on the Pacific coast, is not ac credited in Omaha. A high official, who requested that his name be not mentioned, said: "I think Mr. Worthlngton's successor will be named in a day or two, but I think it will not be Mr. Buckingham. Mr. Buck ingham, who Is an excellent railroad man and stands high in the estimation of Mr. Harrlman, Is needed where he is and I think wljl not be transferred soon." "Will an Omaha man succeed Mr. Worth lngton?" was asked. "No," was the answer. Mr. Worthlngton resigned to go with the Gould roads. Mr. Buckingham's recent trip to New York, where, it was said, he would confer with Mr. Harrlman, served to stimulate the report of his succeeding Worthlngton. NEW VORK, May 2C.-At the offices of the Harrlman interests here today It was said that tho details of the plan to give the different Harrlman properties individ ual executive heads had not been marked out and that the proposed changes may not be made for some norths. Mr. Harrl man. It was said, will continue In com plete control through the chairmanship of an executive board, embracing all th-i prop erties. Hall war T.'otrs and Personals.

The largest excursion from Nebraska this year has been planned by the Nebraska Lumbermen's association to the northwest. The train will leave Lincoln June 6. The outgoing trip will be over the Burlington, via Billings, and througn the Pugot Sound country, returning via Ban franclsco, Ogden and the Burlington from Denver. Three weeks will be consumed In the. trip and stops will be made at Sand Point, Idaho, Coeur d'Alenes, Spokane.

The Union Pacific will re-establish the trust fund for the sick and Injured em ployes which was abolished under the re ceivers. Officials are now at work n plans, and It is understood the plan will meet with the hearty endorsement of the employe? of the roa 1. Not only will tho employes themselves be protected by the new system, but It will be enlarged to a include those dependent upon the employes. The trust fund will be under the super vision of Chief Surgeon Jonas, Vice Presi dent Mohler and the auditor of disburse ments.

WOMAN DECLARES THIS WAS HER TRICK Bonding; Company Withdraws Its Se curity and Surrenders the Male Blackmailer to the C'us. tody of Sheriff. M. S. Algoa was Friday afternoon surrendered to the custody of Sher iff Power by J. L. Wells, a repre sentative of the American Bonding company. Algoe was brought Into court by Deputy Sheriff Nick Power and Judge Day formally released tne bond for I"uO given by the com pany on May 19. I. J. "Dunn, attorney for the Al goes, stated to the court he had paid ihe premium on the bond hiniBelf. Lillian Algoe was not concerned in this proceeding, as the first charge, that of attempted black mail, Avaa only brought against Al goe. Mrs. Algoe is Jointly held with her husband on the second charge of blackmail in forcing from Edward Rosewater the sum of S50. Both are held on this charge, the bond In the case of each being in the sum of 900. Evidently there will be no attempt to give bonds by the prisoners. Why the last hearing of the Algoe black mailers took such a sudden turn in the police court, where the defendants waived further examination while the complaining witness was still on the stand, has now been explained. The Algoes had discovered that certain letters they had written to parties in Jackson, Mich., In which they gave themselves completely away and asked for help to keep them out of the penitentiary, had been brought to Omaha and were within reach of the prosecuting attorneys. People who have been inclined to think that Mrs. Lillian Algoe possibly was sinned against will gain a new insight of the woman's real character from a perusal of the following letter she wrote under date of May 18 to a party in Jackson, Mich., whose address the police have: One of the Telltale Letters. X: 1 wrote to . telling him all about It and to have a talk with you. He has got the whole account of it and will show it to you and 1 will send you a copy of this morning's paper. X, this was my trick this time. I did this, thinking we could come home again and muke you all feel better toward us again. I have figured on it a long time. Maurice cried and said, "Kid, why did you do such a thing?" and I suid right there, "I did it for my friends' sake in Jackson." But, my God, X, I never thought It would go to court. We have our final trial May 31. and we have to have some mighty good word from out that way for our lawyer by then or we are In for It; burMf we win, aa every body says we will here, why Maurice is suing for &,0uu for false Imprisonment. He Is suing Rosewater and Chief of Police Donahue for that, and Rosewater Si.OuO fur w-.ll, you know. I Now, X, do this for my sake and you will never be sorry, for I done it for your sakes at home. Everybody Is for us here, because everybody hates them both an-' want to see ua win, which we will If y.ni men will only atlck up for us. Do, X, i t God sake, write a nice letter to our lawyer, Dunn, and I will make you feel better to ward us than you ever did before. X, stop to think If you don't, I will bu sent to prison, as well as Maurice. Do n t throw us down; oh, don't. Fur my sake, tio something. Don't let them think out here that thla clipping I send you Is the truth, I beg of you. Oh, If I could only express myself on paper, I know you would have pity on me. Now, honing to hear from you soon. Mr. Dunn told me last night if I could only get some good letters from some good law yers out there to give to him we would he all right. Oh, my Gout do this for my sane ana you won t no sorry. Now, goodby for this time, hoping and praying with all my heart. I remain, as ever, your friend, LILLIAN. If you wish to write to us write a general delivery, but, my God, write I. J. Dunn a good letter. His address is: Omaha, Nebr. 4th floor. Brown block. There Are Several of Them. The above Is a verbatim copy of Lillian Algoe'a appeal, with the exception that the punctuation and spelling have been cor rected. The letter was evidently labored over long and earnestly, having many in terlineations and corrections. It was posted at Omaha about 10 o'clock on the morning of May 18. The names mentioned. in it are given as "X" and "Y" for obvious rea sons. In his complaints filed in the courts against Chief Donahue and Mr. Rosewater, Aloe signed his name "Morris." His fe male companion persists in speaking of him as "Maurice" and so writes it. Another very significant , letter, written to still a different Jackson party would seem to Indicate that with this latter per son she had had previous dealings or an understanding of some kind .before she came to Omaha. This second letter Is signed "Mrs. M. 8. Algoe," and contains these injunctions or directions: Write to Boyle and the ratrlot and Citi zen, Detroit Tribune and News and deny these statements. Get the bond or fix It satisfactorily. Written receipt for Mr. Algoe from Stay bell. Burkee and Day. Receipt from police department. Rose water and Donahue. Those pictures and descriptions taken of Mr. Algoe and, if sent out, denied. That they, Mr. Rosewater, Donahue and the rest of the party concerned In this matter, swear by written statement and signed by all parties, tha from now on that the matter Is kept entirely quiet from papers and all. No Question of Authenticity. Both of these documents were written by Lillian Algoe. They have been carefully compared by experts with the woman's handwriting on other papers and especially with the note she pushed under Mr. Rose water's office door while her husband was , endeavoring to extort more money from him. This touching appeal, now among the documents in evidence, was in these words: Mr. E. Rosewater: For God's sake, try and settle this thing up some way with him, this way, providing he will forgive me. My God, I have no money, no place to eat or sleep. I don't Know wnat i win ao. 'try ana coax him to forgive ine. Oh, please. I am wild with grler. v hat win i dor i don t want Maurice to leave me, for I love him. Do the best you cau, for my sake. MRS. M. S. ALGOE. Destroy thla when you read it. Still another letter waa written by Algoe himself to the same import and throwing I chief blame on the woman. The originals of all the papers are In the possession of County Attorney 81a baugli. UNION CLASS DAY EXERCISES Program Rendered by Graduates from Cass, Lincoln . and Omaha Vlevr Schools. Pupils who will be graduated this year from tho Cass, Lincoln and Omaha View schools combined in class day exercises at the Cass school yesterday afternoon. They numbered about eighty and carried out a program of music, essays and recitations. Large bouquets of flowers were brought for Miss Slmonds, Miss Rbdfield and Miss Reed, the principals, and they and Super intendent Davidson were decorated with the flowers and class colors. The exercises to a lurgo degree were Informal, but very- pretty and much enjoyed by the graduates and those of their parents and friends who attended. Luncheon was served by Miss Slmonds both to the pupils and the teach ers. Before tho exercises were begun the pupils from tho Omaha View and the Lin coln schools wero shown the manual train ing exhibition classes In clay modeling, wood carving, bench work and sewing being set at work for their benefit. Cass Is the only grade school where manual training has been Installed and the other pupils were delighted with what they observed. Superintendent Davidson made the ad dress of the afternoon, felicitating the pupils upon their completion nf the gram mar school course and the character of the work they had been ahlo to do during the eight full years they had studied. He ex pressed the hope that all might attend the high school, but said he recognized the fact that many parents, owing to financial stress, would be unable to go further with their children's education. "If you should never have any more schooling," said he, "if you have learned only how to study and the art of being a self student, you have a world of knowl edge at your command. One to live rightly never ceases to study. The secret lies not so much in what you have attempted to store In your mind aa being capable to learn constantly more and more." To the pupils who hoped to enter the high school he said that the course could not fall to help them a great deal and he urged them to do their best to remain four years longer, at least, in the work of pre paring themselves for their careers. The program was as follows: Songs by the school, "The Campbells Are Coming." "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton," "l ift Thine Eves." Selection. "Forty Years On," Ruth Swan son of Omaha View. Song, "Lullaby." "Phunnles." Omaha View school. Songs, "Dixie," "Maryland," "March Selection, "High Tide at Gettysburg," Lehrand Wykoff of Cass school. Songs, "Kentucky Home," "Old Folks at Home," "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground." Conundrums. Cass school. Selection. "The Calf Path," Mary Roe of Lincoln school. Song, "Harvest Home," Address, Superintendent Davidson.

REPAIRING 0FTHE ASPHALT Actual Work Likely to Begin on Streets Wlthlu Two or Three Weeks. Manufacturers .of steam road rollers, shovels, rakes and all kinds of tools and appliances used in tho construction of as phalt pavements have learned through ad vertisements that Omaha Is going to get busy with its new municipal asphalt plant in a few weeks and have deluged the city clerk's office with their literature. Bids are to be received for various things needed, including material, up to May 29. They will not be opened, however, until the next regular council meeting, Tuesday night. Engineer Rosewater is gradually getting a force of men ready for the work and it is likely that the actual repairing of asphalt pavement will start In two or three weeks, or earlier in the season than ever before.
