TRAFFIC MEN PLAN
CONFERENCE HERE
Representatives from Several
Cities to Work Out Applica
tion of New Rate.
TO BE HELD ON FRIDAY
A conference of traffic men from
.Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Atchison
Kansas City, and possibly Chicago,
St. Louis, Lincoln, Hastings, Fre
mont and Beatrice, is to be held in
Omaha the first part of August. E
J. McVann, manager of the traffic
bureau of the Commercial club, just
returned from Washington, at once
decided to call this conference to see
what can be done toward working
out the application of the new freight
rates as ordered by the Interstate
Commerce commission in the ruling
just made in the noted Nebraska
rate case. The conference will prob
ably be called for r ndav. August 4.
This is the order in which the In
terstate Commerce commission de
dared the rates made by the Nebras
ka commission in Order No. 19, to
be discriminatory in favor of Omaha
as against Missouri river towns in
other states, lhe Interstate Com
merce commission ordered a new
scale of rates, which puts the figures
back practically where they were be-
lore tne neDrasxa commission re
duced Nebraska rates, effective Seo
tember 6, 1914. Nebraska and Omaha
have enjoyed this reduced rate for
two years, until now the interstate
Body nas aeciarea it aiscriminatorjr.
Creates Delicste Situation.
The new order creates a complies
ted and delicate situation.
Regarding this, Mr. McVann had
the following to say on his return
from Washington:
"1 know that the railroads have
been puzzled over the action that
must he taken bv them, and they
recognize the practical impossibility
of getting out any final figures by the
middle of August, which they must
do in order to get the rates into legal
effect on September 25. In view of
this fact, it seems likely mat straignt
distance tiritts will De puDlisnea, up
Divine the Interstate Commerce conv
mission's maximum scale that is pre
scribed m the order alike to all ot the
contending cities.
"Of course this will not be satis
factory to anybody, but it will furnish
a basis from which to work in estab
lishing the new relations, and it is
known that the Interstate Commerce
commission entertains the view that
the railroads are free to place the con
tending cities back where they were
orior to the issuance of the Nebraaka
commission's order, except insofar as
the new scale modifies the rates then
in effect. This is shown by the pro
viso contained in the opinion, reading
as follows:
" 'Provided, howevar, that aald ordar ahall
not reatraln aald def.ndanta from aatafb
Hshln,. maintaining and applyttts olaaa rataa
between the aald several named ctttea which
will reatore the relatlon.hlpa between aald
cltle. a, thar nlatd prior to &.pt.mbr
a, ltll.
"Entitled to Relief."
"Omaha shiooers regret that the
Interstate Commerce commission
should hare felt obliged to make a
decision that would advance the scale
prescribed bv the Nebraska commis
sion. which was a very satisfactory
scale, but no representative of Oma
ha has ever claimed that the situa
tion produced by the refusal of the
railroads to readjust the rates from
the outside cities was lair to those
cities. They are entitled to relief
against that condition and tne ques
tion of whether the Interstate Com'
merce commission went outside of the
iurisdiction conferred on it bv the
supreme court of the United States
in the bhreveport case is a close legal
question and one that need not be
considered by Omaha, because the
state authorities must take care of
that feature of the case. What Oma
ha is concerned with, vitally and im
mediately, is the question of working
out the application of the commis
sion s order m the best possible way.
This work was commenced as soon
as the opinion of the commission was
made public and it will be carried
on in a spirit of co-operation and
conciliation so far as both the rail
roads and the competing cities are
concerned."

Money is Lost On
The Wild West Show
Ak-Sar-Ren lost a little money in
staging the Irwin Wild West specta
cle at the fair grounds in Omaha ten
days ago.
1 his is beginning to be apparent in
the paying of late bills that are com
ing in and the checking up of ac
counts that is daily going on. It is
said that not much will be lost, but
the governors see clearly now that

der 1 year occurred in Omaha during
July of this year, according to the
figures in the city health ofhee. Three
deaths of infants from 1 to 3 years old.
In striking contrast are the figures
for July, 1915, when only seven deaths

The bridge committee and several

mittee of the Commercial club con
ferred with Douglas county commis
sioners in regard to the purchase of
the superstructure of the old Union
Pacific brirge, for use in erecting a
new free bridge between Omaha and
Council Bluffs.
Neither the committee nor the
supervisors were willing to go on rec
ord in the matter without further in
vestigation. It was reported that the
railroad is willing to sell the steel to
the city for $98,000, which Commis
sioner O'Connor believed to be exor
bitant. The Commercial club was repre
sented by W. D. Williams, chairman
of the bridge committee; H. A
Raapke, Anan Raymond, W. H. Hep
ronstall, members of the committee;
George Morton, chairman of the new
activities committee, and Byron Hast
ings, vice chairman, and by Robert
Manley, commissioner of the club.
The Douglas county board decided
to act as a committee of the whole.
and confer with Pottawattamie county
supervisors in regard to the bridge
proposition.
Some discussion developed over the
location of the proposed bridge. Com
missioner O'Connor favored putting
the structure at the south of the pres
ent Union Pacific bridge, while Com
missioner Lynch believed it should
be somewhere between' the Douglas
street bridge and the present Union
Pacific structure.

agreed to close their stores at 6
oclock Saturday nights during the

campaign for it, but though it was in
general practice in Omaha, many of

reconciled to it. Some of them com
plained throughout the month, espe
cially women, who said Saturday
night was the only time it waa pos

ers received the recommendations of
Chairman Frank Best of the finance

Question Now Hangs on Kind
of Floor, Lights and Width
of Spans.
MUST WAIT ON THE COVB.
Another chapter of the long seria
concerning the Dodge street viaduct
was presented in the city counci
chamber this morning.
E. A, Hadlcy, chief engineer of tht
railroad, presented a report on whai
he was willing to recommend in tht
way of overhead crossings, while B
Kvenild, secretary of the city plan
ning board, outlined what the citv
was willing to accept in lieu of ai
overhead viaduct.
Hadley and Kvenild were ver
nearly in agreement. Both report'
Erovide tor overhead crossings at
louglas, Farnam and Dodge streets
the streets going under the railroad
track with a clearance of fourteen
feet.
Want Concrete Floors.
The planning board insisted, how
ever, that the crossings should be
floored with concrete, that lights
should be installed and maintained
in the subwavs bv the railroad and
that all three crossings should pre
sent a cellar soan from property line
to property line. These details Hadley
would not accept, claiming that the
city should provide lights, asking per
mission to use pillars at the curb
line on Douglas street and tor the
present at least providing a concrete
flooring for the Dodge street cross
ing alone.
The council adopted a motion to
stand by the planning board insofar
as the lights and concrete flooring
are concerned, but to waive the clear
span on Doutrlas street. A resolu
tion informing the railroad of just
what the city will accept will be tor
mallv presented tomorrow morning.
Hadley could not assure the council
that the railroad would at once install
the crossings, even as recommended
by his own report. It will be neces
sary for Receiver Bush to get per
mission from Federal Judge Hook for
any expenditures made on the cross
ings, and Bush is now in New York
and Hbok is on his vacation.
Commissioner Jardine informed
Hadley that if the railroad would not
accept the city's proposition, based
upon the planning hoard reeommeii
dations, that viaducts would be in
sisted upon.
