At the morning's session of tbo Wllwixukeo-
Union 1'nclflo Injunction cuso In the
federal court the attendance \vaa even
larger than Monday. Among these { present
\veru noticed Juduo Clurkson of tlio district
coin-Unit T'.ionm L , . Kliubnll.
After hearing n few minor mnttni.i Jiidgo
Dundy directed the defense to proceed with
Uiolr nix'ii incut ,
Mr. K. 1 > . Smith , assistant general attor
ney of the Union I'.tcillo In Nebraska ,
opened the argument. IIo said that , after
tlio nblo argument of Mr. Popplcton ,
ho should nppro.ich the c.iso tremulously , If
Itwoio not that ho felt strong In the con-
Dclnu.siicss of rl'ht. ( Ilu know that ho was
opposing counsel of national reputation , but
ho felt tlmt the cimio ho supported was a
just one , nnd ho wai cncouriiged by the
inowloj'o : that right must prevail.
"Wliut Is thcro In this WHO , your honor , to
cause It to bo taken out of a court of liiw
which c.ui f-ivo full anil nmplc compensation ,
to n court of equity which rutinot pivo such
rcllofi 'J'hero la no evidence to slmw
that the Union Pacific is unable to meet
nny judgment wliieh might bo obtnlned
ngulnstit , tlicrcforo the plaintiffs in tills ac
tion have a full remedy ai law for a violation
of the contract nud have no cause to s > cok ro-
llof at the bands of a court of equity. "
Mr. Smith then said that , comliiB to the
nclual question In the ca&o , tbo Union
I'aclllc was merely the acent
of ttio government. Quoting from
the procccdliiBS of tlio Wisconsin
courts to show that the corporations can
not innlco contracts in violation of their chart
ers , lie tool ; up the charter of thu Union 1'a-
tlllc , claiming that it sti'nveil that the road
was built for the imrposo of bind
ing the Atlantic to the I'.icltlc ,
thereby keeping tlio Pacific status
within the union , and also for uostal nnd
military purposes. By the net of July 1 , IMi'J ,
the Union 1'acllic was created a corporation
nnd authorized to locate , tiulld , occupy nnd
enjoy a continuous line of railtoad
not , ho claimed , to enjoy the
road In common with someother
corpor.ition or Individual , but to occunr and
, enjoy It exclusively. One section of the
charter authorized the construction of nslii-
plollnoot track from the western boundary
of Iowa , nnd the eastern terminus was there
by fixed at the eastern IMU'C ni' the Missouri
river , not ono mid a half miles toiith on the
west bank , nnd no one hud the right to move
that terminus ono Inch west of the
cast bank of the river. Tlio speaker
tberoforo held that the eastern terminus of
the roud v/as la Council 15Ultra and that the
bridge was a part of tlio line of the road the
same an though the river was not thorn unit
the rend ran across the prairie dlrcctlv to
Council IHuffs. Ho quoted from a decision
of the supreme court in support of his posi
tion on Mils point.
Another scetlon of the charter was read
which Mated that the object of the roatl WASte
to promote the public interest and welfare
and to sccaro to the government at
nil times the uses and benefits of the
road for postal and military purposes. All
this , it Wi n claimed , was incousistrat with
"ftfvlng to the Milwaukee the use of the bridge
or any other part of the road. It was made
tkoflpcclil duty of the road to transmit dls-
'patchos , troops , munitions of war , etc. , and
110 part of this duty would bo delegated to
another road
Continuing , the speaker said the act au
thorising the construction of the bridge con
templated its construction for tlio conven
ience of ttio road as a means of crossing the
river and not as a convenience for other
roads.
Counsel referred very briefly to the ques
tion of tolls , quoting from the act authoriz
ing tbo construction of the bridge , which
KUVO tlio company the right to collect tolls
from wagons , etc. Ho held that this sup
ported the position ' of the road In the present
case.
Koforring again to the charter of
the road , - Mr. Smith suid the Union
I'uciflc was given the power to m.ilco
/ by-laws , and the said by-laws gives the board
of. directors of the road control over all its
property to administer the same , as agent of
the government , as required by the charter ,
but without going outside of the provisions
of the charter. Those iwwers , ho claimed ,
were granted for publlo and not for private
purposes. The corporation was only the
agent fur tlio government ; It liiul no author
ity to tie up the road for WO years. No one
would say what might happen In that time.
It was practically turning thu road over to
the Milwaukee permanently.'If the directors
Niould tin up a part of tbo road In that way
they could do the samu thing with all of It.
Without distinctive logishitivo authority they
would not convoy or lease auy franchise or
property.
Referring again to the contract Mr. Smith
Insisted on calling it a lease nnd stated that
an old principle of law allowed the parties tea
a contract to put thelrown construction on It
nud the four Us uphold them in It. Tlio lease
lu controversy gave a foreign corporation the
right to run over ana occupy the line
of the Union Pacillo for M9 years. This
was practically nn unending contract except
at the will of the Milwaukee , which had the
right to a ri'leaso from It by giving throe
years' tiotlco , but the Union Pndlio was held
last and was given no power to revoke
the leaso. Ho denied that the Union Pilcillo
retained full nud complete control of the
road and Irldgo. The Milwaukee road was
bound to puy a proportion of the operating
expenses aim the tiino cards , and the run
ning of the rend was' to bo decided upon by
both parties to the contract. Ho quoted
ftilly from the contract to support thcso
statements.
Concluding. Mr. Smith demanded to know
what rights the directors had to renounce the
i Ights of the government and surrender the
tracks of the road to another corporation.
Thorn u-as no necessity for stop
ping at ono mile. They might as
will make a contract for ton miles us for ono
mlle and so on to the end of the road. Thcro
was nothing to prevent the Milwaukee from
huilding elevators along the line of the Union
Pacific nnd putting In stdotracks
of Its own. The Milwaukee pretended
that there was business in South
Omaha , whlcti it wanted to roach. The
Riicakur held that it was the duty ot the
Union Purl Ilu to got that business for itself.
In conclusion , Mr. Smith held tlmt the
Union Pacltlo hail no right to make such n
contract , and that the Milwaukee had
no morn right to transgress the law than had
the Union 1'acillc. Ho charged that the at
torneys on the other side knew that thu law
was being violated , and that the men wtio
made the contract wore violating their obli
gations.
The speaker claimed that there was no
ground for pleading tbo doctruio of estoppel
in ttio United States court , and wound
up by quoting numcrousi nuthorltlus to show
that the company had no right to burrcudcr
the control of Its rord.
At the conclusion of Mr. Smith's argument
court was adjourned until 'J o'clock.
When court opened In the afternoon John
M. Thurston lookup and continued the ar
gument on the part of the defense.
IIo sold ho had never realized so strongly
that be was an ndvocnto us when ho con
fronted ttio distinguished counsel now before
him. Ho was sorry , ho said , for some re
marks which Mr. Popplaton bad made lu his
argument. If sJrungcrs had rome in while
tbo gentleman was talking they would have
supposed that an Indignation meeting was In
progress , In which the citizens were giving
iull rein to express their feelings against a
common evil. Inspltonf his admission that
the contract was properly signed , Mr. Pop-
hud dovotea one-third of his
ploton fully - ar
gument to show Its validity.
Plunging nt once Into bis subject , Mr.
Thuritou said there was no provision In the
chatter compelling the Union Pacillo to con
nect with any other road ut Council Bluffs or
at any other point , except under direction of
tl.o United States , both as toplucoaiul terms.
This clause had been inserted in the charter ,
lie said , to prevent the Union Pacillo from
frittering away its rights , and to pluco It di
rectly under the control of the government lu
case of war.
DHo Insisted that the rules on which the
case uiust bo decided were finally settled.
_ _ _ MMMHHHMMV1
The law on which the case rested was that
the charter of n corporation Is the measure of
Its power , and tlmt tbo enumeration of these
powers Implied the exclusion of nil others ,
Unless the other sldo showed sotno provision
authorizing such a contract as the ono in
question , it was void and ultra vires.
The speaker took It for granted that tbo
other side would admit that the Union Pacllle
would not turn over to tbo Milwaukee or nny
other corporation the right to operate Its
road from Council Bluffs to Ofcrden , or oven
to Cheyenne4 Fremont , but they snld. In
effect , that they had taken such n , little of the
road that it was all right.
Taking up the contract in question , Mr.
Thurston claimed It was a contract for the
wo ot ten miles or the main line of the Union
Pacific road. It was not a contract for termi
nal facilities , bnt was a coniicctlnit
link whereby the Milwaukee road
might use ten miles of the
.rack of the Union Pacific to reach the point
vhoro the Koelc Island tapped the Union Pa-
: lllc , thus giving the Milwaukee nnd Hock
slnnd a through line through a country now
iccupled by the Union 1'aolllc. If there was
ho power to grant a contract for the use of
ho ten mile < < of the Union Pnclllc , what was
D prevent the latter from | 1Ing to ono or n
.o/cn . roads the use of the whole read !
Ho stated In reply to Mr. Poppletou's quov
lon of what would become of Omaha If the
lonlrnct was abrogated , that the execution of
.his contract would place three dictators over
ho bridge and would prevent the Union Pa-
ilflc from granting thoilcht to liny other road
o eonio into Omaha over the bridge , and
vould elleetually shut out nl ! other e.wlern
oads.
Kofcrrlng to the contract , Mr. Thurston
iharged thrit It was n least1 , In which the
illl'vaukeo nnd UnionPacllic were to have
ho joint use of thb track. The latter was
Hvcsted of all power over the movements of
ho former's trains , nnd was bound to bo
governed bv the former in the movement of
ts own trains. It had surrendered the right
.o run its trains and collect tolls ,
, vhlch It clearly hud no right to do.
This action of the roads Mr. Thurston 11-
ustratcd by saying that It was the same as
.hough the Union Pacillo had a cow nnd
; ilaced two of her teats in the hands of the
lock Island , and two In the hands of the Mll-
, vuukco , Judging from the present cnso the
, wo latter ro.nls would say the Union Pa-
: lllc still had the cow.
"Would you deny that you got nny of the
nllk. " asked Mr. Popplcton.
"If wo got any H would bo skimmed milk
f the poorest kind , " retorted Mr. Thurston.
Counsel on both sides then Indulged in sev-
val minutes of repartee which caused gen-
ral laughter.
Ucsuinlng , Mr. Thurston pursued the same
Ino of argument , namely , that the Union
I'aclflc had no moro right to give to the Mil
waukee the right to operate ten miles of its
road than It had to turn over the whole road ,
ile romaikud that If the Milwaukee had pro
posed to turn over to the Union Pacllic all
the tolls collected lor passengers nnd freight
on the ten miles in question the latter might
bo .satlsllcd.
Mr. Thurston then took up the authorities
presented by Mr. Popplcton m Ins nrcumcnt ,
nnd claimed in each case that the findings of
the court were capable of a construction dif
ferent from that placed upon them.
In eumm'ng up , Mr. Thurslon said It was
very evident that the Union Pacillo had no
power to make such a contract as the one in
question.
Ho then referred to the charge that the
Union Pnelllc was In contempt nnd had no
standing in court. Ho said the plaintiffs ad
mitted that they had no lease , and consequently
quently they were merely running their trains
over the defendant's tracks. Thu Union Pa-
cillo had tuUon advantage of u tlmo when no
cars of the Milwaukee were on the ten miles
of track lu question and simply locked the
plaintiff out. IIo therefore held that the
Union Pacillo was not in contempt of the
United States or any other court , as thu net
of barring out the Milwaukee had been per
formed before the issuance of the order by
Judge Doano , which order had not been violated
lated since the removal of the case to tbo
United States court.
Mr. Thurston stated further that there was
no claim that thu Union Pacific had taken or
held a dollar's worth of the Milwaukee's '
property , or had used any violence.
IIo tlfcn read an opinion of the supreme
court in a .similar case In which the court
held that there was no power to compel a
party to a void contract to abide by the terms
of the contract when it saw fit not to do so.
This , ho claimed , was an opinion bearing
directly upon the present case , and ho
charged that the other side was seeking to
have the court compel the execution of a void
contract , for tbo reason that the Union Pa
cific hud submitted to it for a certain time.
IIo held that the action for contempt could
not bo , as the contract was void nnd the
Union Pacllic was not bound to abide by Its
promises. Mr. Thurston dwelt at length on
the fact that all the conditions of the con
tract changed except the compensation. The
country would Improve , the business would
Increase , nnd , in fact , everything would grow
except thu price for the use of the road ,
In closing , Mr , Thurston repeated that the
case hinged upon the point of whether the
Union Pacific had the right to turn over to
another corporation oven the smallest part of
the road.
IJcrorrliig to the statement of Mr. Popple-
ton , that the abrogation of the contract
would operate to the disadvantage of the city
of Omaha , Mr. Tnurston said ho might say
that the carrying out of the con
tract would bo the worst thing
which could happen the city , as it would
prevent the Union Paclflo from eycr allowing
eastern roads to enter the union depot , as it
would bo bound to the Milwaukee and Hock
Island roads and could not do anything with
out the consent of both. Mr. Woolworth
hero asked Mr. Thurston how his company
proposed to contract to admit eastern roads
Into the union depot over tbo tracks and
bridco of thu Union Pacific ,
Mr. Tlnirston replied that ho did not think
his company had the power to make such a
contract.
Being asked by Mr. Popplctou If the Union
Pacific would comply witti the ordinance of
the city and the condition under which tbo
bonds were voted for the viaduct , Mr. Thurs-
ton expressed the opinion that the company
hud no legal right to make nny such a con
tract , but he had no doubt that it would be
able to give sulllciont bond to guarantee catn-
pllnneo with the terms of the agreement re
garding the admission of other i-oads to the
depot. Continuing , ho said that In his opin
ion it would bo the best thing for the Union
Pacific If the proceedings now being bad , to
prevent the delivery of the bonds , were suc
cessful : it would bo to the advantage of the
Union Pacific company.
Bringing up the question of contempt
ngnln , Mr. Tburston quoted authorities to
show that the power of an equity court to
punish for contempt was limited to the pun
ishment of a disobedience of an order of that
court , and not an order ot some other court.
Also that the power of the court was limited
to the acts committed after the order was
Issued , llo therefore.'held that , as no order
had been issued by the United Stntos court ,
the Union Pacltlo could not bo in contempt In
that court.
This closed the argument for the dofcnso ,
and Judge Woolworth will roplv for the
plaintiff this morning.

There was a protest in the case of Charles

An Insurnnoo Suit.
The case of the state against tho" Nebraska
flro Insurance company , sprung by Mr ,
Johnson of the Phoenix company , was called
yesterday In police court.
After Morlurty had Introduced ovtdcnco to
show that the company had never complied
with the law nnd several members of the
company had been examined upon the filing
of the articles of incorporation and other
documents , Mr. Hall surprised the plaintiff
in tbo case by submitting a certificate from
the auditor stating that the stock of the com
pany had been examined and found satis
factory , nnd authorizing the company to pro
ceed with business.
Morlarty still maintained , however , after
recovering from his surprise , that the com
pany had never filed n uortltlcato with the
auditor showing that the capital stock was
tbo bona lido property of the company.
Mr. Hall claimed that such n thing would
bo absurd after the auditor had stated that
the evidence of capital stock was satisfac
tory. Upon this point Judiro Holsley said ho
should take some tlmo to dccldo , and the case
will rest until the Judge has tlmo to look the
matter up and reach n decision.
