8 TJIE OMAHA PATLY JVEBt ; FRIDAY , MAY 20 , 1898. now TO SHIP THE EXHIBITS Manager Babcock Explains Mistake that Causes Much Grumbling ! ONE PLAIN RULE IS DISREGARDED KxlilblU nillr.I to InillrlilnalH Mot He Untiled Free l r the Hull- ronda Coneemilom Are til Obtain. Quito a hullabaloo has been kicked up during the last thrco or four days In con nection with the receipt of freight nt the exposition grounds. Investigation shows that this trouble has Its origin among those who have persistently , If not willfully , dis regarded the plain rule of the exposition ansoclatlon. The privilege of free shipment for the Nebraska exhibits and of free re turn for other exhibits was mode by the railroads with the understanding that the exposition association would bo responsible for the care of the consignments nnd that the Integrity of each would be preserved by the responsible party. Arrangements to secure these privileges were made and the prospective shippers nil had due notice of the plans nnd the charges , together with explicit Instructions as to how to ship In order to secure the rates. It now appears that many shippers have paid no attention to those Instructions , but are sending goods to freight depots billed to themselves or other Individuals at Omaha , with the result that the railroads decline to accept them for free transportation , but Insist on the prepayment of freight nnd terminal charges. If the shippers who now make bitter complaint against the alleged exorbitant charges will only observe the plnln rule nnd bill their goods to the Trnnsmlsslsslppl nnd International Exposi tion association , they will receive all the benefit of the very liberal concessions the railroads have made , and will have their property taken care of by responsible parties at a minimum of cost. Horticulturists who complain they can not replenish during the season from time to time their exhibits nro assured that the exposition association has arranged a plan whereby these exhibits may be kept up continually fresh , and nt a very little cost. Coniiilnlnt of NvbrnNka Men. Complaints have been made at head quarters of the Nebraska Exposition com mission concerning the alleged exorbitant charges which It la alleged are made by the railroads at points of shipment on all ex hibits Intended for the exposition. This latter complaint has been n source of great surprise to those aware of the fact that the railroads had all agreed to transport free of charge from Nebraska points all exhibits excepting live stock. The complaints re garding this matter came from Superin tendent Johnson of the agricultural bureau of the state commission , Superintendent Jackson ot the educational exhibit and Superintendent Whltcomb of the apiary bureau. All stated that they had been noti fied by persons desiring to ship articles for exhibition that the shipment would not be received unless freight charges and terminal charges were prepaid at point of shipment. This Information was like a. bombshell In the camp of the state commission and Secretary * retary Campbell threw up his hands , de claring that such a course would bankrupt the state commission. The protests applied especially to small shipments , the charges being reported as being $1.50 In each case for a small parcel such as a county collec tion for the educational exhibit. The attention of Manager Dabcock of the Transportation department was called to these complaints. Ho threw light on the matted , which puts It In an entirely different aspect. With reference to the difficulty In connection with the shipments of material for the Nebraska exhibits , Mr. Dabcock Bald the whole situation results from the fact that the shippers insist on billing the goods to 'the individual superintendents of the Nebraska exhibit instead of billing everything to the Transmlsslsslppl and In ternational Exposition as required by nil Instructions Issued by tbo exposition man- igement. MlHtake * Mailc by Shipper * . "These educational exhibits about which M much fuss Is being made , " said Mr. Dab- cock , "are shipped to Superintendent Jock- ion Individually or as superintendent of the educational exhibit , and In some cases the county superintendent shipping the exhibit addresses U to himself nt Omaha. In the agricultural exhibit some of the material is addressed to Superintendent Johnson as head of the agricultural bureau of the Nebraska commission. All these things are wrong and directly contrary to the most positive Instructions Issued again and again by the Transportation department. The special ' rates made by the railroads require that th'e Identity ot the exhibits must be preserved and the exposition is bound to BCO that this Is done. The exposition being the responsible party , all shipments must be made to It. "This whole matter was gone over very carefully several months ago and there Is no excuse for a misunderstanding at this late day. It was thoroughly understood that the f usual terminal charge would be made on the Nebraska exhibits the same as on all other exhibits , but an agreement was arranged vrhlch would have done away with all diffi culty if It had been followed. The com missioners said they could not pay out any money , but were obliged to have everything paid by means of vouchers In tbo regular way , and I then secured an arrangement by which the express company having the con cession for hauling the exhibits agreed to pay all terminal charges of the Nebraska exhibits and render * bills for the same to the commission. It was also arranged that the shipments from oil parts ot the state In small lots should be collected nt the downtown depots and token to the grounds In largo enough loads to entitle the commission to the lowest rate. Instead of carrying out these arrangements they hav been violated on nil sides , nnd the result Is'that the railroads are Inclined to treat the , , exhibit * na ordinary freight be cause the'shipments are addressed to Indi viduals Instead of to the exposition.

" Fncllltlrn far flmnli ShliMirr * . ncgardlng the reported trouble concerning the shipment of small packages for replen ishing the various horticultural and other exhibits , Mr. Itabcock sold ample provision had been nmdo which would be entirely sat isfactory to all concerned. The greater pait of this material , ho said , would be shipped by express , and arrangements have been made by which all of the express com panies will maintain offices on the ground * and these companies have arranged with the American District Telegraph com pany to deliver all express matter billed to people on the grounds. The charges to bo made for this service will be only such as , la made by the American District Telegraph company , the exposition having nothing to do Vlth this matter , but Mr. Dabcock said the charges would bo reasonable. For small packages which may be carried In the band Mr. Dabcock said these might bo carried Into the grounds by the consignee or by any delivery wagon driver. In short , the aim of the exposition management , according to Mr. Dabcock , Is to give exhibitors every raclllty for making their exhibit without levying a scries of extortionate charges , "There was a slight disturbance on the grounds yesterday over an express company attempting to unload goods on tbo ground and haul them to the space of an exhibitor. They were very properly stopped from doing eo , and any other company or Indlvldua which undertakes to do the same thing will meet with the same treatment. One of the conditions under which special rates were obtained for the exposition was that the Identity of the goods must be preserved In order to get the benefit of free transporta tion on the return trip. The exposition Is responsible for this Identity and is required to certify to that fact before the goods will bo accepted for return to the original point of shipment. If Tom , Dick and Harry are allowed to go to the grounds and unload goods and 'place them on the space of the exhibitor , how Is the exposition to keep track of 'the goods and know that the same goods nfo returned ? The company having the concession for the hauling on the grounds Is under bonds to the exposition for the proper performance of Its duty and the strictest account Is kept of all ship ments. This company Is responsible to the exposition nnd the exposition Is responsible to the railroads. " INDEPENDENT HXI'HESSMBN'S SIDE. Illxtory of the Contract fur a Monopoly ely of the IlnnlliiK niiHlnenN. The expressmen who were arrested Wednesday for violating the rules of the ex position In hauling goods Into the exposi tion grounds were yesterday discharged for lack of prosecution. The Independent ex pressmen are very much worked up over what they denounce as an attempt of the transportation department of the exposition to turn nil of the exhibits over to a monopoly under the form of a contract with the ofll- clnl express company of the exposition. "The exposition Is trying to freeze out all the small expressmen , " said a representative of the Independent expressmen. "The public ought to be Informed of the method by which the present situation has been brought about. Dack In January Manager Dabcock Invited all the 'principal expressmen of the city to a conference for the purpose of dis cussing arrangements by which the condi tions exacted by the railroad companies could be compiled with. A preliminary prop osition was agreed upon and signed by all the express companies , Including the one which has been designated as official , limit ing the number of teams to be used and , specifying maximum charges. This Is what Manager Dabcock now characterizes as a combine which ho has broken up by making a contract with one member of the combine to monopolize all the business. This propo sition provided for a charge of $1 for small trips and 8 cents a hundredweight for gen eral hauling. "In February Manager Dabcock asked ex pressmen to submit bids on exposition haul ing , but a few days later withdrew the in- vlUtlon owing , as he sold , to the unsettled condition of the freight delivery proposition and promising to submit another set of specifications for further bids as soon aa matters were adjusted. The next thing wo knew Manager Dabcock had had himself em powered to make a contract for the nominal consideration of $1 for exclusive hauling of exhibits with a member of the exposition directory. Naturally protests were entered against this arbitrary proceeding and the executive committee required a change in the contract giving the favored company under the title of 'official express company' an exclusive right within the grounds. "The contract moreover provides rates higher than those suggested In the first con ference. The charge for small trips Is $1 , the same as in the memorandum , but the charge per hundredweight on goods hauled from local depots Is Increased from 8 cents to 12 cents per hundredweight , though the rate on hauling from the exposition terminal Is reduced 2 cents , or from 8 cents to 6 cents per hundredweight. The expressmen do not regard this contract , designed to create a monopoly and let without considera tion and without competitive bids , as having any valid force. They Insist that they have a right to get all the hauling exhibitors may give them and they are determined to re sist all efforts of the exposition to make the offlclal monopoly effective. " niUTISIf-CANADIANCLWD PLANS. Arrangement * for Headquarter * for KxnoHltlon VUltor * Under Wny. The British-Canadian club held its regu lar weekly meeting In the exposition head quarters last'nlght. The chief object of the meeting was to determine on a suitable room to be uaed as headquarters where British or Canadian visitors might como on arrival In Omaha , register and be directed as to rooms , etc. The committee on head quarters was supplemented by the president , who Is to call another committee together and complete the arrangements and report at next regular meeting. May 26. It was suggested that this was an opportune time to pass resolutions of sympathy and respect on the death of William 13. Gladstone. The president appointed a committee which 1m * mediately drafted resolutions to that effect and the same were ordered spread on the books of the club. P. L. Forgan made a speech in which he enld that be had the honor of being personally acquainted with Mr. Gladstone , and words failed to express the appreciation be had of the "grand old man. " The president requested the members to hand In the names of all Canadian and Brit ish papers , so that literature on the exposi tion might be dent them for publication. He said that already the Canadian papers were beginning to advertise the exposition , and that the government officials Intend visiting Omaha some time this summer. Edueatlonat Con ; rr > Matter * . At the meeting of the executive com mittee of the educational congress yester day , reports were received to the effect that the following halls had been secured for sectional meeting ! : First Methodist church , First Congregational church , First Presby terian church , Young Men's Christian as sociation , High school , city ball assembly room , Metropolitanhall. Commercial club and the city library hall. . Several more halls arc to bo secured. It was announced that Missouri is likely to send a delegation to the congress thai Is likely to throw Into the shade some of the stales nearer this city , Iowa also promises a big representation. A thousand more badges were ordered , making the total number to far secured 3,000. MUaourlann to Select Tbrlr Uy. President F. M. Sterrett of the Missouri Exposition commission bu lent a circular letter to the mayors of the principal cities In Missouri , to Governor Stephens and to the members of the commission , asking them to suggest a data for Missouri day at the exposition. When these replies nro re ceived a day will bo named by President Sterrett nnd Mlssourlans will attend the exposition In force. Arrangements arc pend ing for the Apollo club nnd the St. Louis Amateur orchestra to come to Omaha on Missouri day , The women's clubs of the state are taking an active part In assisting the state com mission In preparing a state exhibit , their efforts being chiefly centered on the educa tional question. All the woman's clubs of the state , of which there arc about 100 , have been asked to help and the manner In which they are responding , although not called upon until the last moment , Is the source of great encouragement to the committee hav ing this branch of the 'work ' In charge. u.ximuToiis no run HUSTLING NOW. Inntntlntlnn of DlNiilny * In the IlnllilliiK * e * llnitlilly On. Exhibitors are now bending every energy to get their booths erected , decorated and exhibits placed. A great amount of night work will bo done next week. The Incan descent electric lights on the Government , Agricultural , Manufactures and Machinery and Electricity buildings , the Administra tion arch , government colonnades and the north half portion of the lagoon have been tested and give complete satisfaction. The first test was made last Friday , nt which time the current was turned on by Miss Kathryn Bartholomew ot Omaha , The ma chinery In the power and electric plant Is In perfect running order , and with a few days more work will bo entirely completed. The unpacking of exhibits Is being accel erated and the crews are being Increased. The space in the Manufactures building Is almost occupied with the exhibits , those having lately arrived being the Majestic Steel Kongo company , the Walter A. Daker Cocoa company , National Linseed Oil , Frank Martin , fur skin dresser and dyer of Mil waukee , Cuilahy packing Industry of South Omaha nnd tbo P. D. Deckwlth company. A visit to this building convinces one of the progress that can be .made as soon as the exhibits on the floor. The General Electric company of Schcnoc- tady , N. Y. , has just emptied a car of mate rial In the Machinery and Electrical build ing and will make an exhibit the equal ot which has perhaps never been seen. The printers and pressmen who may visit the exposition will have the opportunity of see ing the progress made In presses. The Mlchlc Printing Press company of New- York will have a good exhibit , which has already arrived and Is being placed In po sition. The Dexter folder will also be an other attraction. The four colonnades which are to be the chief attraction In the Mines nnd Mining building arc fast being completed. The states of Utah , Colorado , Montana and Wy oming will make their exhibits therein , the like of which has never been surpassed. Visitors are no longer permitted In the Fine Arts building on 'account of the great amount of work being done In the un packing of paintings. Director Griffith has been absent in DCS Molncs for several days , but the work goes merrily on In charge of Assistant Paul Charlcton. The French col lection of paintings from -New York City , consisting of sixteen boxes , was received and unpacked yesterday. This collection equals half of the money value of the entire exhibit and Mr. Charlcton has been kept quite busy visiting the city at Intervals and placing In surance on the paintings as fast as they are unpacked. The area between the two sections of the Art building Is being sodded and beds of beautiful flowers nnd plants placed therein. When completed It will be ono of the prettiest spots on the grounds. On the Midway the same bustle and hurry Is noticeable. Hundreds of workmen are striving with might and main to get the buildings completed and the attractions In stalled. One of the novel features of the show at present Is the work of the Chinese artisans who nro erecting the Chinese vil lage. - of the Director * . A special meeting of the Board of Direc tors of the exposition has been called by President Wattles for next Wednesday , May 25 , nt 4 p. m. , the meeting to be held In the Administration arch on the exposition grounds. It Is expected that by that time the furniture for the rooms In the arch will be In position nnd the building will bo ready to serve Its function as the headquarters of the president nnd the place for the official reception of distinguished visitors. StciioirrnplicrN Auk n Dny. Kendrlck C. Hill , chairman of the Na tional Association of Stenographers , has chosen Omaha as the place of meeting for the annual convention of the association , and has asked the exposition directors for a day to be known as Stenographers' day. Note * of the ttxnonltion. John Kreldlcr has been awarded a con cession for the sale of hot waffles , griddle cakes , pics , doughnuts , tea , coffee , etc. Manager Klrkendall has returned from a short business trip to eastern points and has resumed charge of the Department of Buildings and Grounds. The Macon , Mo. , Times announces that It has made arrangements for a special Pullman car to take Miss Flora Holman , the most popular young lady In Macon county , to the exposition. The car will be fully equipped for tbo exclusive use ot the Times party. The trip will last for one week nnd will certainly be a most enjoyable one.

HAYDEN DUOS. Military I'I-INOIXTM Wit lit a Chance. FORT CROOK. Neb. , May 17. To the Ed itor of The Dee : There seems to be a de sire among general prisoners to be restored to duty , that they may go to the front and fight for their country. A great number of these men are serving time for violation of general orders In time of peace , and would , If released , be willing to render such service as may bo ordered. Many of these men have from one to three enlistments with excellent dlsharges and feel mortified because there has not as yet been given them a chance to declare themselves if re stored to duty. Many , if not all , of these know of the release of prisoners during , the war of 1SG1 to 1SC5 , and they hope that President McKlnley will Issue an order to restore all who are serving time for viola ting orders In time of peace. Of course , they understand that In time of war the strict observance of orders Is required and If not observed they know the penalty.
