The commissioners will take the matter

an ordinance will be prepared by Com

ment of finances and accounts.

the Colorado Midland, together with their
connections.
The representatives of the Interested
roads are up In arms and are preparing
to take steps to rrevent the proposed ac
tion. Their appeal has already been made
to the Interstate Commerce commission,
the contention being that if the Ogden
gateway is closed, the roads that would
bo shut out would be unable to ticket
rassengers through Colorado and Utah to
points on the Oregon Short Line. Besides,
the contention Is made that by the closing
of the Ogden gateway all passenger traf
fic originating east of the Missouri river
and moving west will be diverted and that
it cannot be routed through Denver ard
Salt Lake and Intermediate points.
Limits Tourists Tickets.
The allegation Is made that If the Og

tourists going to the Tellowstone park
will be prohibited from going through
Colorado and Utah and stopping off at
the scenic points enroute.
Protests of Colorado and Utah hotel
keepers and business men are going for
ward to the commission, numerous peti
tions being signed and forwarded.
In its notice to the interested roads, the
Union Pacific atates that, effective Oc
tober 1 of this year, or as soon thereafter
as current tariffs can be supplemented or
reissued, Interchange of business At Salt
Lake and Ogden, between the Oregon
Short line and the Denver A Rio Orande
will cease at Colorado common points.
This business, the Union Pacific states,
must be routed by way of the Union Pa
firic between Denver on authorised points
of interchange east thereof on the one
hand and Granger or Ogden on the other.
Eastbound business west of Hunting
ton, Ore., or in the country farther weat,
will continue on the present basis.
The proposed closing of the Ogden gate
way Is approved by B. L. Wlnchell, direc
tor of traffic; J. A. Munroe, vice presi
dent, and Gerrit Fort, passenger director,
all of the Union Pacific system.

Assistant General Passenger Agent Mat
thews of the Missouri Pacific, in the city
from a tour of the Black Hills country
, and on his way home to Kansas City, dis
cussing the proposed closing' of the Ogden
gateway by the Union Pacific, said:
"It is to be seen if the Union Pacific
can close the gateway against the other
roads. "Whether or not It will be permit
ted to do so is a matter for those higher
tip to determine. It probably thinks it
can, else it would not hava made the at
tempt." ; .

WAR MEANS DRUG SHORTAGE
Omaha bankers are to send a delegate
to Washington to meet on September 4
with a conference of representative
bankers from the twelve reserve cities,
and other business centers. Six non
reserve cities are to be asked to send
delegates. Omaha was among tho six.
A telegrrjn cam from the federal re
serve board to the Omaha clearing house
asking for a delegate from Omaha It
is likely that either J. C. French, presi
dent of tho clearing house, or Luther
Drake, vice president, will be selected
to represent Omaha bankers at the con
ference. A date for opening business In tho fed

at this conference.
FRUITSTAND ORDINANCE
NOT BEING COMPLIED WITH
Although an ordinance was passed by
the city commission at the Instance of
Commissioner C. H. Wlthnell, ordering
the removal of all fruit stands from side
walk spaces, city commissioners have re
ceived complaints that the order has In
no particular been obeyed or enforced.
"The trouble Is," said Commissioner Dan
B. Butler, "that many of these fruit
venders pay large rent for the space and
In Instances contracts have been made
which, If broken, would result In probably
unjust injury to some."
Police Commissioner Jl. C. Kugel's at
tention has been called to the violation
and he will decide within the next few
days what he will do aa far as the police
department is concerned.
JOHN GERL0CK ADDRESSES
STATIONARY ENGINEERS
John Gerlock, member of Nebraska
National Association of Stationary En
gineers, lectured before a meeting of en
gineers and terchnlcal men of Omaha and
adjacent citlea Friday night at Washing
ton hall on "Hydro-Klnetlcs." Mr. Ger
loch advanced some new theories which
were contested by Nathan Bernstein, A.
G. Knight and T. WiUhunn of Chicago.
At the end of the lecture there was a gen

With a general war throughout, and
importation from that continent virtually
stopped, one of the first lines of com
merce to feel the effects would be the
drug trade, according to Gustav J. Meyer,
secretary of the Meyer Brothers' Drug
company.
"In the field of drugs and chemicals,"
said Mr. Meyer, "Gcr-many Is supreme.
In that branch of commerce that country
occupies the same niche among nations
as the United States does in the manu
facturing of machinery."
One of the first things In which a short
age would be felt, said Mr. Meyer, would
be in oarbolio acid. Virtually all of this
chemical, so much In demand in times
of war, and so generally In use in this
country, cornea from Germany. There
was never a ton of it manufactured In
the United States. ,
Quinine, however, will be as plentiful,
almost, as ever. ' Only about 26 per cent
of the quinine used in America comes
from Germany. Tho bark comes from
the Dutch possessions and from South
America, and It Is manufactured here in
Immense quantities.
It is In such drugs as veronal, tiional
and other drugs that Germany supplies
the world, and there Is bound to be a
shortage should the war continue any
great length of time, said Mr. Meyer.
Mr. Meyer says, that all of the coal tar
preparations come from Germany, and
these form the basis for thousands of
preparations. One-iialf of the remedies
In general use today, he said, are based
on the coaltar preparations. St Louis
