Mutter * of Imprest to Stock Grmvorn Ols- f.encth. KANSAS CiTTi Dec. 8. Recommendations of the executive comuiitteo of the National Live Stock Exchange were discussed at today's session of that body. A scheme for establishing'a permanent bureau of information mation wan adopted. The stock crowing section of the west is divided into six dis tricts. The local exchange of each of the six cities represented is to gather statistics from the several counties of its own district. Keprosontntivcs are to bo maintained in each county to report to the local exchange the amount of stoci ; in the county , the con dition of the animals , the supply , of feed and the probable number of cattle to bo mar keted soon. The local exchange is to tabu- Into this information and forward It to the National exchange. A recommendation thut each exchanse maintain a slaughter house to kill "lumpy Jawed'1 catllu was laid on the table. A spirited discussion was aroused over the proposition to present a bill to tto legisla tures of the different states. Its'object waste to protect the commission men , who. as agents , have sold mortgaged stock from dam ages claimed by the mortgagee. To do this It was proposed that laws bo passed by tlio several states to the effect that chattel mortgages on stock should bo of no effect unless filed in the county where the stock Is offered for sale. The mortgage must also bo recorded in the county where the stock Is when the mortgaga is given. An additional clau.so urging legislatures to make the ; ut ; of selling mortgaged cnttlo a felony was added as an amendment. Much opposition was manifested because , ns .1. H. Mcl'hcrson of Omaha said , "it pro posed to ruin securities that are everywhere regarded with favor now , " Frank Cooper of Kansas City spoke as follows : "Tho losses of Kansas men , " ho mid , "havo been greater on account of bad oans than because of having purchased nortgaged stock. You nro arguing now ibout which of the honest men interested mist , bear the loss , The dishonest man who sells the mortgaged cattle Is the one you should try to deal with. Morally It should bo a felonv for u man to sell stock \vhtch ho nnd mortgaged before they nro released , but most states make the offense a misdemeanor meaner nt most , Kansas is notoriously lax in this matter. H Is posslblo In Kansas for a man to make money by selling mortgaged stook , putting the money where it cannot be renchod , and then go homo nnd-announco that he is ready for trial. This was actually done In Lamed some years ago. The ex treme penalty is six months in Jail and $500 line , and the 1/irnod man nrranged his busi ness nud chose a favorable tliliu of the year and was.roady to go to Jail before ho shipped , Thut mun should have gone to the peni tentiary , nud there should be u law that would solid him there , but we can't afford to Impeach good securities. " Finally , after a long debate , a commltteo was appointed to draft another bill on the subject. Its orlnclpal feature will bo a clause milking the selling of mortgaged property a felony. It was also voted that thn National exchange shall take the first case growing out of thu auto of mortgaged stock , where thu amount In controversy uxcoods $5,000 , to llio United States tiupromu court * At Ihi ! afternoon suKsiou the report of tno committee providing means by which the commission men may protect themselves against the sale of mortgaged cattle wus adopted , An ufTnrt will bo made to have enaetcU in thn ill lie re in states the Nebraska law , which provides a hcav.i penalty foi owners who consign for sale mortgaged stock. A blacklist wax established , providing that each exchange shall send to thu secre tary of the national body the name of overi person who refuses to comply with his con tract.

Troubles commence to pile nt , high as Pclton's head for the Union Paclllc system nnd thcro Is no light nhond. From the north land rumors of discontent have boon heard , but universally discredited at Union Pacific headquarters. From the Mormon citadels there have conio mutterings of dis satisfaction over the course pursued by the oflleiah of the Union Pnclllc In removing local offices to Omaha , oven though the de mands of rigid economy made It necessary for such transfer. Interest payments have been postponed , and In some cases defaulted , until the shareholders of feeders to the Union Paclllc system hnvo become rcstlvo nnd now mean to luke a hand in the manipu lation of the nfTalrs of the Union Pitcillc company. TUB BEI ; lat Saturday iravq oxcluslvo In formation that there was a movement on foot on the part of tlio iBhareholdors of the Oregon Hallway & Navlcatlon company to Insist upon the rccogulza'&n of certain rights which tlioy hold under agreement , should default bo nuulo in the December In terest payment. Default has occurred , and a telegram from Boston , Just received by Tim HIE : announces that shareholders of thu Oregon Hallway & Navigation company are gathering In the Hub for tins purpose of domaddlng uotter representation in the affairs of the Union Paclllc company. "This , " said n well posted railroad man , "Is the commencement of a segregation that can only bo checked by heroic efforts on the part of the commltteo of reorganiza tion , appointed to devise some schtno fora now financial policy , contem plating more liberal provisions and a scaling of the amount of Intcrcit. " K\JOINii > TIIK UITY COUNCIL. 1'cdcrnl Court Intnr'oros In n IHxpnte He- Iwrim City nnd Itnllroniln. Judge Dundy granted a temporary Injunc tion yesterday restraining the city from listing as tax.iblo property any of the right of way or doxjt ; grounds of the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy railroad In Omaha. The petition for the injunction was tiled by C. J. Greene us attorney for the railroad company. It recites the fact that the Omaha & North Platte , the Omaha & Southwestern ni.d the B. & M. railroad In Nebraska constitute ono corporation which is Known ns the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy railroad and that in 18'J3 as in each year preceding the proper oflleer of the com pany made out and transmitted to the auditor or public accounts at Lincoln u com plete list of all the property of the company , Including that In the city of Omaha. The Issue in question relates to the differ ence between the city and the road in esti mating the width of the right of way. The city takes iho ground that under its charter the road is only entitled to u right of way 100 feet wide exempt from municipal taxa- utlon. The railroad claims that the prop erty in question wus purchased and 1m- -proved before the charter went into effect nil that the right of way in excess of the cslgmitcd width is equally entitled to im- innlty. They therefore ask the court to cjoln the city from levying tuxes on uny NXrD of the right of way or other property f the company. The injunction was granted by Judge ) undy with the condition thut the city hould have the right to apply for un ardor issolving the injunction at any tlmiby giv- ng one day's notice. As soon as the injunction was granted the iccessary papers were made out and placed ; i the hands of the sheriff for service. The ofcndunts named are George P. Bomls , nayor , " John Groves , city clerk , Henry Jolln , city treasurer , und all the members of ho council. The city will probably ake advantage of the condition by giv- ng the required notice of u motion to dis- olvo the injunction and the casu will thch onio up for hearing.

The Jury was out twenty hours. It disagreed nt first as to Hanson , so It Is understood. The case has attracted wide spread note , because of the sensational features developed. Thrun , wno pleaded guilty to thochurgo of conspiracy when ar- 'rdignod , cannof bo sentenced , because there Is no eo-consplrator , a necessary element to constitute an offense. The verdict accords with the general sontl- ineut of the community , although the fact that Hanson secured money irom the insur ance companies' detective after he knew Thrun was alive has raised suspicion in the minds of some. The conspiracy , as alleged , was that the defendants vsought to got $59- 000 from the insurance companies by pre tending that Thrun , ou whoso life the insur ance was taken out , was consumed in a lire which destroyed his house. s.irxn fjiu.ii < i tt.ixuixu , Ho Cinvo Illinsoll Up for Murder When Colil Wai Killing Him unil Ulud In J.ul.
