LINCOLN , API II 5. ( Special to The Bee. ) The State Board of Transportation met "thls afternoon to take up the consideration if the cases In which the secretaries recom mend that transfer switches bo put In at rfi-Jmyler and nt O'Neill. The Union Pacific nd the B. A : M. uro Interested at Schuylcr and both roads were represented by attor neys , the former by J. H. Ames of this city nnd the latter by J. W. Dewcose. Mr. le- vvccse made a brief argument upon behalf of his compans , laying down three ( tcnnral pioposltlons "That the Stale Board of Transportation has no power to enfoico the law , It provides for the pmcliaM ) of tight of way and thu ex tension of lln > , and the state of Nebraska has no light or authorltv to compel any rail- mad company to extend Its line If It does not HOC fit. If the state can compel u inllroad to construct a. bhort line It can com pel It to construct n long one , entirely across thexrte If neccssaiy , "The II. & . M. would have to construct the switch alone , as far as securing the right of way Is concerned. The constitution of Ne braska prohibits any foreign corporation not i bartered under the l.iwu ot the uatu from exorcising the light ot domain. "Then1 Is no necessity for the transfer switch ut Schuyler , as nhown uy the testi mony. " .Mr. Ames respectfully presented to the eotislderutlim of the board the provision ot the constitution which prohibits the Union Pacific from exercising tint right of eminent domain. In leply to the arguments of the attor neys Secretary Dllworth ald that the secre taries are not entitled to puss upon the constitutionality of the transfer switch law. Tim law dues not authorize or direct the State Board of Transportation to enforce I ho law. If the roads ore ordered by the board to put In the transfer switches and they refuse to comply they must answer in thu com Is to the executive power of the Mute The transfer switch law requires nil railroad companies touching at common to count met transfer switches. They i-annot ovudo the law miles * limy can prove to the satisfaction of the board that to con- ' Hlriiet such a switch would bo unusually and i > Kcen lvcly burdensome. In the case Ht Schnjler the secretaries had taken ftvMencn and Investigated the mutter. They had reached the conclusion Unit Ilio construction of tlio switch would not bu hurdenuoniu. It could bo constructed without any great amount of work and would loimlro the laslng of less than 1,000 feet of track. Theieforc , the secretaries had recom mends ! that tlio prayer of the railroads In- 'i-restcd , that they bo uxcused from construct. Ing the switch , bo denied. Mr. Dllworth also answered tln > argument raade by Mr. Deweese to the effect that the statu hud no power to rompel a railroad company to extend Its line , by filing that It wns clearly estab lished that the state hud the power to order H rallioad company to provide the necessary facilities for the transaction of the business of Its patrons , The construction of u switch would not come under the head of nu ex * tension ot A main lln ? , U could only be classed us an Incrcaxu ot facilities. Attorney Huwley , who was present to represent the KlUiorn road , auked that hi * caio at O'.Nelll bn heard at the name time. Ho made a very brief argument agalnit the recommendation of the secretaries , claiming the transfer switch law VYUB either umcndatory to the maximum freight law or l o that the maximum rate law wan umenda- lu the transfer switch law.

At. the conclusion of the argument the board took an adjournment until tomorrow afternoon ut 2 o'clock. H Is believed upon good authority that a majority of the mem bers of the board are In favor of declining to adopt the recommendations of thn secre taries. Ono member of the board stated to The Bee this evening thut ho knew of three members of the board who were In favor of excusing the companies from constuictlng the switches. SIMPLY DROPPED DEAD. About noon today Intelligence was con veyed to Coroner Grim of a p ° cullarly sud den death that occurred a short time before ut College Vluw. A man living In the vicin ity of the tragic occurrence brought the news. He related that a man tiding In a two-wheeled cart had stopped In the road about a mile south of Union college to In quire of borne parties ho met as to where he was likely to find work. While he was talkIng - Ing he suddenly fell out of the cart , appar ently dead. Coroner Crlm went to the bccne of the tragedy and Impaneled a jury. The verdict was to the effect that the man "dropped dead. " The remains were brought to the city this afternoon nnd Identified as these of John Hussong , living ut 5-7 South Twenty-fourth street. HE RECOMMENDED MOSI1ER. The Intciestlng fact was developed today that at ono time In the eat Her hlbtory of the Capital National bank troubles a deliberate effort was made to have the comptroller of the currency appoint C. O. Whedon ns the attorney for the receiver of the broken bank , when at the Miino time the parties who made the recommendation Knew that Whcdon was also the altoinoy for C.V. . Mosher. The fact was brought out In the hearing before Judge Tibbetts of the application to sot asldo the b ilo of the Outcult property to Younkeru Bros , of Des Molnes. Mr. Mnc- farland , who was the first receiver of the Capital National bank , admitted to the ques tions of the attorneys that while he was re ceiver of the bank he recommended to the comptroller pf the currency the appointment of Whedon as attorney for the receiver. Ho did so for the reason , as ho bald , that Whe don had been the attorney for the bank and was well acquainted with its affairs. Ho ad mitted that at the time he made the recommendation ho knew Whedon was act- Ins as attorney for Mosher. Ho de nied that Moshor , Outcult and D. E. Thompson had endeavored to secure his appointment , but admitted that before ho received the appointment Whedon spoke to htm about It , and wished him success In his efforts to get U. Ho aUo appointed Outcalt as his clerk for the reason thut ho believed On tea It's familiarity with the bank's affalrd would make him valuable as un as sistant. At the conclusion of the hearing Judge Tjbbetu stated that although there had been no proof that any combination had been entcied into by which Mrs , Outcalt was to give the purchaser a clear title to the property , yet ho was satisfied that such an agreement existed. If Macfar- land would raise his bid to something near the value of the property Judge Tibbetts stated that he would confirm the sale. Whereupon Macfarland raised his bid from $9,130 to $12,700 and agreed to pay all costs of the ttult , ' The sheriff was then ordered to execute u deed , LINCOLN IN BRIEF An unknown sharper victimized a grocer named L.

To the Editor of The Bee : Our esteemed city comptroller , Mr. Olson , having contributed two or three arti cles upon the subject of Improving county roads , which are designed to discourage hitch Improvements , owing to the fact that the city of Omaha does not receive a full benefit tor all the money that the resident taxpayers of the city Invest therein , prompts mo to undertake to answer the objections made. In his article of the 29th ho advances a thooiy which. If properly Interpreted , sug gests that the city of Omaha exists for Itself alone and Is as far removed from the balance ot Douglas county as though a Chinese wall were erected about Its borders through which ho assumes that the neigh boring residents must ever bock admission for the purchase of the supplies and neces saries of life ; through a force of circum stances and not from choice. The tone of this article also presumes that the city should not bo taxed for any Improvement whatever not wholly within the city limits nnd ho suggests that If Douglas county wants roads outsldo of the city that they should be constructed by funds raised by taxation upon property outside of the limits of the city. There is no doubt but that n very largo sum of money might uo saved to the resi dents of Douglas county were the two gov ernments meiged into one , and thus abolish a largo number of olllces now maintained , but Mr. Olsen knows as well as any ono that this Is not n practical question to be treated , under our probent laws. Wo must accept conditions as wo find them and not as wo would li.ivo them. However many Improvements I might sug gest In our present lorm of foveminent ; ( and they are many ) I wish only to correct any misunderstanding that may have arlhcn In reference to the improvement of our county roads by reason of the articles referred to. In the articles from the pen of our es teemed city comtroller It is not suggested that there Is any legal bar to making thcv < Improvements in the manner proposed , so , therefore , I assume that he recognizes that thu territory within the city of Omaha Is as much a part of Douglas county ns Douglas county Is a part of the state , so that the proposition to bo answered Is whether or not biicli Improvements nru of u general benefit to thu whole county. In the first place , It seems to me that no one thing would Iniiro so much to the direct benellt of the city of Omahn as good roads leading ( hereto. There are many reasons why residents of the rural districts adjacent to Omaha deslto to come to our city ; many of them , not wholly for thu purpose of buy ing or selling goods. Not long slnco the pooplu of Omaha raised u fund of sumo $25- 000 to defray the 9\pensa of the national meeting of the Mcthodlut Episcopal church , and later Hie ) offered to put up a fund of $50,000 for the purpose of securing onu or thu other of the national conventions of the great political parties of the nation , either onu of which conventions we could hup .to secure but once. Why do we do this ? Simply to advertise our city , of which wo are all Justly proud , and It would seem that If wo place the benefits of onu or two con ventions at so high a figure , certainly the investment of an equal amount of money in a permanent Improvement that will remain a Ktandlng Invitation to thousands to comu to our city for all time will bo equally profitable. Mr , Olscn'.s objection might bo very properly urged against the raising of funds to udvcrtlso and Improve thu city by popular subscription , for here the burdun alwu > a falls on the few , while ull participate In the benellt.s. Again It has been the custom ot this count ) , in common with many other coun ties and municipalities , to vole largo sub sidies to Induce railroads to i-ttabllsh ade quate connections with us and to give us the proper facilities for extending our commer cial relations with the ouUldo world ; this branch of donations has amounted to millions of dollars In this county and city , anil every dollar of It la generally regarded to huvo been well Invested , for without proper means of communication with the commercial world our city could not prosper. All the benefits that accrue from thin class ot Investment will accrue In a two-fold ratio from Invest ments In good county roads , for they are but supplemental to the larger avenues ot com merce , the railroads. But the more Important question to bo an- Chiffoniers. One of the most useful pieces of furnltme In the house. Wo Imp them In oak , well finished , nt $9.50 , $11.50 , $12.50. $13 , $15 , $10.

Kwered Is as to whether or not the city snif fers most from the bunion ot e.\ponho Im posed to make tliu o improvements ; it Is n very nnirou and sclflKli view to lake of this question to assume that " \Vo , the Pity of Omaha , " pay the l.iigpr part of nil the cx- pendltmeH made by the county , when as a matter of fact the city derives 90 per cent ( if the benctlt of every dollar expended by the county. Let us seeThcro was expended by Ihc county during the flsral year ending July J , 1893 , ? 3n,58'J : no , not Including that portion ot the road fund which by law belongs to the cities of Om.ilin and South Omaha. Of this sum the taxable piopcrty within the city llmltK contributed $22.i,59e.G5. $65,495.59 being raised outside the city limits and the balance , $29,494.315 , being excess fees col lected at the various olllces In the court house. In the expenditure of these funds $ Jtl,7Si.27 ( was paid out wholly to residents of the city of Omaha : $32:53.SG : ! was paid for Improvements outside of the city limits , fully one-half of which went to residents of the city , or afterwards found Its way back Into the handii of our merchants and busi ness men.

While It Is tiuo tli.it the oily bears 'fi per cent of the burden of county taxation and must piy that same proportion of thu road Improvement homlx , yet , aside from the continual bandit that the city will derive from the Improvement ItBclf , 90 per rent of the money invested will find Its way back Into the channels of tradu among the busi ness men of our city , so that Instead of a return of G cents for each dollar Invested the city goU a return of about $1 for each 5 cents Invested. So much has been said about thu actual bcnellts of good roads leadIng - Ing Into our suburban districts that It Is unnecessary fur me to rehearse them fur ther than to state that In many ways they contribute to the growth and prosperity of the city. No ono will umlcilaUo to deny that real cstnto Increases In value Just In proportion us It becomes arceBslhlo to the great centers of trade. Increased facili ties for trnnppoitlng produce to market will stimulate the production of iard"ii tinck and small fruits whoso chief value depends upon an Immediate dvlhciy when gathered * Has > nnd ipilck communlratlon will make suburban ipsidcnces popular , and so In many ways Increase thu value of prop erty so that the Incretttfo In assessed vnlim- t'lon " 111 go a long way toward paying off thu bonds when due. These arc a few reasons why/the city of Omaha should ad vocate good county roads. I-MIUD J. SACKCTT. Slnlii Mnuln TIITM. Oeorgo W. Iloldrcge , general manager of the II , & M.
