PUT A STOP TO Il
Cnmpllontlnnn Added lo
CHICAC1O. Feb. 4. A cross bill was filed
In the United States circuit court today that
may delay the completion of the reorgtnlza-
tlon ot the Santa Fo railroad. The bill raise ?
a question of the ownership of tire line of
the railroad from Chicago to Kansas City ,
denying the claim ot the bonds now held by
the Union Trust company nnd under which
foreclosure proceedings nro now pending. In
pursuance to the general plan of reorganiza
tion. The complainants are William Church
OsbTn , Frederick Sturgos , Edward
Sturges , Thomas Ilerkelebork. Henry C.
Slurs" and William H. O.'born. till cast&rn
tnon , who claim to own 62S bonds of the
denomination of $1,000 nf the Issue rif Janu
ary I , 1877 , and assert that they are the
only outstanding bonds of that ' 3110. On
the other hand , the reorganization , fr r.ow
company which recently purchased the road
at sale , claims to bo the owner ot 14,721
bonds ot the F.IMIC Isatic , and which are
plcJficd as security to the Union Trust com
pany for the general mortgage ot October
10. 1SS9.
Incidental to the Issue ot the bonds In
question , the complainants charge that
the old corporation had concealed
considerable of Its property to
evade paying creditors , nnd allege
that among such concealed property wns stock
In various sub-corporations controlled by the
road , the Corrlllcs Coal and Iron company ,
Iho Corrlllca Coal Hallway company nnd thu
Union Melt railway of Chicago all ot which
stock the complainants charge was not cov
ered by the blanket mortgage , but which Is
Included among the effects under that blanket
mortgage.
To the bond Issue , which It directly con
cerns , the bill asserts that there never was
a default , nnd the. court Is nsked to rofuao
to crant the decree of sale prayed for by the
Doston Snfo nnd Uepc.Mt company , the trus
tees under the orlglnnl mortgage.
Robert Dunlap , counsel for the Sinta Fe
railroad , said of the bill : "I cannot exactly
understand what these people worrit. They
eny they do not wish to foreclose. They
claim to liavo a prior lien on the railroad
and that our bonds deposited as security for
the general mortgage have been paid oft or
satisfied , and that they virtually own the
roadi They do not seem , ns I gather from
the 100 pages of typewritten matter , to
want to have their bonds paid off. Our
procedure Is to sell the rend and pay the
bonds , In order to carry out the schema of
reorganization. Appnrontly those people are
In court to hinder that reorganization for
some purpose or another not clearly shown
'In the bill. "
HAS NO POWER TO STOP THIS FIGHT.
Governor t f XVw Mvxlcn AiiHWerK tin-
Alumni of the MliilHtvm.
ST. LOUIS , Fob. 4. A special to the Re
public from El Paso , Tex. , says : The Min
isters' union of this city wrote to the gov
ernor of New Mexico , requesting him to
prevent the fights from occurring on Now
Mexican soil. The governor answered as
follows : "I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor of the 3Ht In
reference to the- reports that Dan Stuart
was arranging1 to bring off the prize light ?
In New Mexico. I have looked Into this
matter very carefully , and , while I have
some fears of the 'truth of what you say
nnd suggest , I think the Intention Is to
como to Now Mexico only In the event that
they fall to make arrangements In Juarez.
I have already written the legal authorities
In Dona Ana county and requested them
to sec that the law Is fully enforced and to
prevent any violation of It. I must be can
did , however , and say that the powers of
the legal authorities are very limited In
this territory ; there Is absolutely not n
word ; upon our statute books making It n
crime to bo enraged In prize fighting In
this territory and we can only depend upon
ihe laws with regard to breaches of thu
peace. A bill was Introduced at our' last
legislature to prevent prize fighting , but
unfortunately wo could not pass It. There
\9 \ a direct net of congress preventing the
use of United States soldiers to aid the
sheriff's officers. There Is no morrey In
the territorial treasury for the employment
of the m'lltla. ' I am candid with' you , because -
cause I know just how you feel on this
subject and I desire you to realize how
hopless : the territorial officers are should
an attempt IMS made to bring oft the fight
In Now Mexico. I will , however , do nil I
can , youi may rest assured , to prevent this
dls-grace being brought upon our territory.
Yours very respectfully ,
"W. T. THORNTON. "

SIR. WILLIAMS' PLAN.
Chairman Williams called BIr. Stouborc
to the chair and proceeded to read a paper
on "Good Iloads and How to Oot Them. "
Mr. Williams said the value of good
roads was universally recognized and the Im
portant question was how to get them , Ho
then proceeded to argue the necessity for
road Improvement and cited the cases of
several eastern states which had taken
steps to Improve their roads and had
appropriated thous-ands of dollars from the
public treasury for the purpose. The banellt
to bo derived from a system of good roads
was dwelt upon at great length by the
speaker , who urged the necessity ot stopy
in this direction being taken by Douglas
county. The Nebraska statutes on the sub
ject of roads , ho slid , had bc2ii copied from
the laws of other elates and were entirely
unsulted to the conditions that existed In this
state. While the statea from which these
laws had been copied had probably ooen their
defects and remedied them , the laws of Ne
braska had not been changed to meet the
conditions which existed. Qno result was
the election each year of men as road super
visors who were not prepared to tjovoto their
tlmo to the work. Other disadvantages of
the laws \wero ppoken of , as welt as the
crudity of the methods pursued. The plany
pursued by tno Hoard of County Commis
sioners elnco the speaker had been a mem
ber of the board were discussed at length ,
showing the lack of all system In regulating
either the work of the supervisors or the
amount of money to bo expended by them
under the old system , and the changes which
had been made by the board In recent 'yearn
In changing mattersvso that the supervisors
were directly under the control of the bnrd
and the amount of money they wcro allowed
to expend wns regulated by the board. The
amounts expended during the past live years
on the several roads were detailed , together
with the comparative cost of road-making
under the two plans mentioned. It was
stated that r > ! nco the system had been per
fected , now roads had been made by the
board nt an average coot of only | 37.00 per
mile , which was considered a remarkable
snowing.
The speaker said that the first step In
the improvement of roads must bo a revision
of the laws. He favored a system which
would place the entire care ot roads under
direct control of some central body which
should ba empowered to employ an engineer
to bo selected on account ot his
peculiar fitness for the work
of supervision. The old system of
road tax should be abolished. With the
present revenue , the speaker was of the
opinion that the roads of the county could
be maintained In good condition and from
one-fourth to one-fifth of the amount could
be set aside each year for making permanent
Improvements. To do this would require
now laws , and the speaker asked co-operation
of all advocates of good roads In bringing
this about.
In this section the speaker said the road
maker-was limited In his chotca of material.
He had no sand and no gravel and was com
pelled to .rely entirely on the natural soil.
This could be utilized to good advantage
and the speaker closed his paper with a
number of practical suggestions as to meth
ods c ! road construction ,
VIEWS OF THE WHEELMEN.
The next piper announced was by E. JJ.
Henderson , president of the Asuoclatlon of
Wheelmen and on ( ardent advocate of good
roads. Ho announced'hls tubjcct to be , "Why
V.'e Are Here. " Heeald the blcycllsti were
not present for the purpose of discussing
'
changes In the laws , but were'Interested In
having the available resourced UDCI ! In the
moat advantageous manner. The Interacts of
tlio blcycllt'U' , ho eald , were Identical with
the InterosU of the farmer and every other
member of the community who used the
rwda. The bicyclist probably noticed do-
fccts In the roado moro readily than the
fanner on account of the nature of his ve
hicle , and all realized the advantage of
good roads. They were moi-t Interested In
having di'ffclH remedied In thu best manner ,
The speaker then referred to the expense of
bad roads , showing how they coyt moro In
wear and tcir of vehicles and horses then
would bo required to make good roada. He
also referred to the fact that the national
government had expended billions ot dollars
In Improving and maintaining waterways ,
which ho did not regard as Important ao
roadways , but had not expended any money
for Improving the latter.
Nebraska , ho paid , had ta ! ; best natural
roads of any tnto In the union ; ti.era wcro
no stones to contend with and there waj not
tko alternate thiwlng and frpczlng In the
spring which destroyed rnada In the eastern
jtates. The opeaker advocated planting trco.2
and hedijes along the country roads aa n
meana of beautifying ino landsoapo and also
ailvoc-atcd the adoption of a general plan for
roada covering the entire county.
Mr. Henderson nlosud his paper by oppos
ing the plan of constructing a Disparate path
for bicycles. The monny required for this
purpose rhould bo expended In Improving the
main road. If Iho road wao good enough for
a carriage , It was good enough for a bicycle.
At the conclusion cf this paper A , K. Aker-
lund , road supervisor of Valley precinct , wns
called on ami road a paper full of practical
auggcatlontf , based on the speaker's experi
ence an a Btiporvlscr for the pact eight years.
Ho re-commended grading and rounding the
road to the full width cf sixty-six foot , with
deep ditches at the bides and ecedliur the
sides of the road with grais , This would
keep down the weeds , one of the gioatest
enemies of the road supervisor , and the hay
would pay for the malntonanco of Iho road.
The merits of the different makes cf gradery
wnro dlfcustcil by the speakers and the con
ditions under which each was the best were
ghov/n. His paper closed with several prac
tical fcuggfjotlons as to the best time and
method of cutting weeds ; how to keep a road
In good condition with the minimum amount
of work , etc.llla pupsr was loudly ap-
pliudcd ,
I'UKSENT IlOADS GOOD ENOUGH ,
H. H. Whltmore nj Valley was called for
by some ot the delegates and responded by
saying that ho was neither a roail supervisor
nor a bicyclist. Hi ! then prccecdtd to amuse
tlia convention by several humorous personal
experiences In attempts to eolvo what "Tom
Heed" had grid WAS the greatest question of
the hour , viz. ; "How to IOIRO a lllcyclo. "
He mourned the fact that the bicycle and
the motor car ate neither baled hay nor
phelled corn , but tald the only thing for tho'
f ri r ISle r.s to lesoeiilio the Inevitable.
Ho closed by aiUccMInt ? tcrromr In county
affairs and said that the- natural toidn of
Nebraska were better , without the oxpciiwl *
turo of a dollar , than thow ot eastern states
whore ml'llons had been spent.
Curtlss Turner mmlo a brief talk. Ho loolt
exception to a remark made by Chairman
Williams that "fortunately the law
fixed the roids on section lines , "
The speaker regarded this as Iho
most unfortunate law which hud ever been
enacted. U was In direct violation ot nil
dictates of common sense , economy nnd
everything else , especially in the hilly river
countta ; . He- cited the example of the Dodge
strcel road which ran directly west nnd
sultl this road wns cut through hills between
Omaha and Rlkhorr ) . If the natural con
formation of the ground had been fol
lowed the rc-ul would not have cut through
more tl-an six hills. Before the street waa
paved the speaker said Iho gradient was flvo
feet In 100 ; If his plan had been followed the
gradient would have been but two and one-
halt feet In 100. Ho then Illustrated the
advantages of the latter gradient , as com
pared with ono of five feet , In Increasing
the drawing power of the horse. The two
and one-half foot gradient had been adopted
throughout Kuropc , ho said , because It re
quired no brakes on wagons , nnd thereby
lessoned the wear on the ro-id , nnd consequently
quently reduced tfto cost of maintenance.
Ily following the natural topography of the
country the speaker said ho had found from
Investigation that roads could bo constructed
In this section for $2.000 per mile. Including
the cost of right of way. Ho spoke briefly
In support of the ndopllon ot this system ot
road building.
At the conclusion of Mr. Turner's talk , n
resolution wag Introduced by Mr. Henderson
and adopted , providing for the appointment
of the foilowlng committee on permanent
organization , to report In the afternoon : A. 1 .

PAVING FOR MAIN HOADS.
In the afternoon Andrew Ilosewatcr mads
an address. The phrnso "good roads. " h
said , was a comparative lorm , and Its mean
ing depended cstlrely upon the circumstances
under which It was used. It had been stated
that the natural roads of Nebraska were
fully as good as-the pnvcd roads ot cistern
steles. The speaker said this statement was
correct while the country was sparsely sot-
tied , but when the population Increased , ns
It must do , all reads must bo paved In order
to get the best results. The Idea ot follow
ing the natural contour of tlio ground , as
advocated by Mr. Turner , the spjnkor thought ,
should bo made dependent upon the charac
ter of the trafllo which was to use the road.
It might bo well enough to follow his plan
for the side rpads , but main roads should
bo as direct as possible. The cost of bring
ing the main rend to a good grade would
be very small as compared with the cost
of the extra paving and maintenance on the
longer road.
The speaker reviewed the history of the
laying out of roads In Douglas Bounty. In
the early days roads wcro located In accord
ance with petitions circulated by parties In
terested In having a pleco of poor land util
ised as a road nnd without any regard to
the necessities of that time or for the future.
He advocated the adoption of an approved
plan of roads which should bo followed out
as circumstances permltteJ. Mr. Uosewn-
tor's talk was closely listened to nnd up-
plnuded nt Its conclusion.
Frank Hibbard of Irvlngton then read n
paper on the road question , his main point
bolng that If the purposeof the convention
wns to ask for the Issuance ot any moro
paving bonds , he was everlastingly opposed
to It.
It.W.
W. G. Clark of the Tourist Wheelmen fol
lowed with a paper. It was full of practi
cal points and dealt with facts to the ex
clusion of theories. Ho suggested that steps
bo taken to hunt up wet spots In roads or
spots which icmalncd wet longer than the
remainder of the road , and remedy the de
fect by filling and rounding.
TO TAX BICYCLISTS.
This completed the set program and the
mooting was thrown open for discussion. 1 ?
} \ . Fitch , representing the bicyclists , took
the floor to discuss thepapers. . His main
point was a suggestion that a personal tax
bo assessed on bicycles , the tax thuy raised
to be turned Into the county road fund. This
point was loudly applauded.
Commissioners Martin and Ilogley of Sarpy
county made brief talks In response to calls.
Mr. Uegley said he had heard It said In
Omaha that Sarpy county had no money to
build a road three or four mlles long ( re
ferring to the road to Fort Crook ) , but ho
said they had money enough to make a
tow mlley of road and were ready and willIng -
Ing to do EO.
Chairman Williams cnlleJ on the road su
pervisors to state what amounts they would
require In tholr districts. There was no
response and Mr. Williams then read esti
mates of Improvements which were de
manded by rasldents and taxpayers of the
county. The estimates Included reducing the
grade of the Military rend east and west
of Irvlngton , the Southwopt road ne-ar Millard -
lard , the road to Fort Crook and the reid
leading out of South Omaha. The estimate
Of all of this work showed that 540,000 yards
were to bo moved. At a fair estimate this
would cost about $54,000. The levy for the
current year would ralso only about $20,000 ,
so that the doing of this work wouid require
about all of the levy for three years. Ho
eald this would show that the commissioners
would bo compelled to exercise the utmost
care In making allowance to the super
visor * .
Crlnk of Elkhorn made a spirited talk on
the subject of the allowanbo made to eu-
porvlsora He charged that the commission
ers innno a practice of sending out noino
favorite to build a bridge or a culvert , and
In this way expended the money of the
county and paid another man for doing tlin
work the uuparvlsor was elected to do. Ho
thought the commissioners had gone too far
In limiting the road supervisors.

reported In tavor of u permanent organiza
tion , to bo known as the Douglas County
