The polb1e entrance of the Chicago Great % Vctern , or the Illinola Cchtral , into Omaha Is again being di8cussed in local I railway c1rc1e. The 8peclaL act of the city ouncII on Tue8day evening agreeing to an exchange of lands In the 1ast Omaha sec- Lion very much pleased the reprcsonLattve ' of the syruilcato dcsIrIn the land , and railroaders - readers and others are guessing what use the land will be iut to now that the syndicate has it In Its poseseion. Mr. Van fluscn of Detroit , who has been handling the deal for the eastern syndicate. called on fleneral Manager Webster of the Omaha Irldge and Terminal Railway corn- pany during the morning and discussed the matter with him. To a 13cc reporter who asked what Use the newly acqulrc land wa's going to be put to , Mr. Van ilusen saul : "i really do not know , I was sent c hero to get the land for a certain set of gentlemen , and I have wired theft that It has been secured. Now that they have It , I aupposo they vlll proceed to carry out whatever - ever plans they may have for Its use. I t think some of thorn will be out hero next week to look It over , and they rnay tell 3ot1 then what they are going to do with IL" The prevailing belief among railroad men Is that the Detroit syndicate , having already put a large amount of money Into East S Omaha , has now secured property that will S ho desired 'ater ' on by the Illinois Central or Chicago Great Western railway in enter- lug the city. One of the best posted railroad officials In Omaha says : "I do not expect to ace either the Illinois Central or the Clii- cage Great Western come in hero this year. A report has been sent out from New York that President Stickney of the latter road Is having a line surveyed from Mason City , In. , to Omaha , and will soon run a railroad in hero , but I hardly think thIs year will Bee that road in Omaha. It might have been bad it not been for the war. Next year Is bound to see some more raIlroad building In here , and I think the dirt will be flying in several directions. The syndleato that has Just obtained the land in East Omaha probably will hold the land until either of the proposed lines begins to look around for an entrance here. " INDICTED FOIL IJNDERUILLINC. . St. Pail ) Firm ( .ettnlo TroulIa vItIi % VcMteriI VeIg1.liig , tsNoeIftt lou. Indictments have been issued by the UnlteI States grand jury at St. I'aut against \v. C. Baldwin and Wallace II. Baldwin of the firm of V. C. ilaIdwin & Co. and George \V. Elliott , bookkeeper. Elliott Is not a member of the firm , but hnd charge of the books and assisted in the manipulation of weighta at the Chicago end of the line and the evidence shows that ho wa aware of the condItions surroundIng the business and made an effort to bribe one of the traveling auditors of the Weighing association to return - turn False records of weights to the super- Intenfient of that association. Thu firm ofV. . C. IJaIdwIn & Co. 'were large shippers of potatoes from different points located on the St. Paul & Duluth railroad in Mthnesota and from points on the Wisconsin Central railway In Wisconsin. The firm entered into an agreement with tbe superintendent of the Western Railway \Vcigbing uooistlon providing that say carloads of potatoes made by this firm liould his transported over the lines of the different railroad companies members of the Western Railway Weighing association and inspcction bureau without weighing the cars In transit , the railroad companies depending - pending on the superintendent of the \Vest- em hallway Weighing association and in- mpectlon hureau to obtain the correct weights on the property by inspection of Invoices of the shippers each month in order to verify the weights furnished by the ship- lucre. What the Eviolence Shows. It Wa ! ; shown by the evidence that the firm of W. C. IJalfiwin & Co. became a mem- her of the agreement prior to the aotato shipping season of 1897 and this firm dlii an extensive business , shipping hundreds of cars of potatoes from Wisconsin and Mm- nesota points to Chicago and to eastern points , in billing out the care from North Drench and other points on the St. Paul & Duluth railroad , giving Instructions to their buyer , Wallace H. Baldwin , and other rep- resentatives. to return to the railroad cam- panics a fictitious weight on the shipping tickets , which weight would be Lien in billing - ing out the property under cover of the spe. del agreement stamp , and this weight , in t every case , would be very much less than the actual weight of the potatoes. This underbilling of the cars was not die- covered until ttsts had been made by weighlng some of the cars to ascertain If shippers' weIghts were correct , and It is stated that the superintendent of the Weighing association soon discovered that there was something wrong with the weights furnls'ued , in which to hill the property , and on investigation it was learned that an attempt was being made to underbill every car. not only from poInts on the St. Paul & Duluth railroad , hut also from points on the Wisconsin CentraL lines. It is said that Superintenlent Carman called on the firm of V. ' . C. Ilaidwin & Co. for the purpose of obtaining an explanation as to why they were unIl..rhPlIn , their ' property from 10.000 pounds to 15,000 pounds per ear , and that in their reply to him they stated that their intention was to pay the railroad companies west of Chicago on the basis of actual weights , but that it their purpose and desire to have the lines east of Chicago use the weights on which the property wns hilled up to Chicago ; that. they were of the opinion that if they would _ % . - 6,000 Feet Above the Sei- .

Ily the terms of the special agreement with the Western Railway Weighing association - sociation and Inspection bureau , it is especially provided that correct weights must be furnished on the bills of lading. In order that the property can be billed out at actual weights , and In consequence of the large underbilling , Superintendent Car- man of the Weighing association entered a. complaint to the Interstate Commerce commission \Vashlngton against this firm for underhllling Its shipments , In violation of section 10 of the Interstate commerce law , which provides a penalty and Im- prisoninent for violation of Its provisions. The complaint that was tiled with the Interstate Commerce commission was turned over to the attorney general of the United States , who instructed District Attorney Evans of St. Paul to present the matter to the grand jury for consideration , belier- ing that it was the Intent of the above firm to defraud the railroad companies. Indictments vere made on three cars which were tinderbllied. One car was billed at 25,930 pounds at 20c , $51.86 ; actual weight , 42,700 pounds at 20c , $85.58 ; underbilling , $33.72 ; another billed at 27,200 pounds at 20c , $51.40 ; actual weight , 413,230 pounds at 20c , $92.40 : undorbilled , $38.06 ; another billed at 26,1100 pounds at 20c , $53.80 ; actual weight , 34,540 pounds at 20c , 6t1OS ; under. billed , $15.28 ; there being an underbiiiing on the three cars at over $87 , these shipments - ments being all from North Branch , MInn. , to Chicago. Pioin Omaha. to hot Springs. In answer to an inquiry made by a reader of The 13cc , It can ha said that there is no truth in the report that cheaper railroad rates are offered from Omaha to Hot Springs , S. D. , and return than from Hot Springs , S. D. , to Omnha and return. The rate offered - fored every day during the summer acason from Omaha to Hot Springs , S. D. , and return - turn is $25. The rate offered every day this season from Hot Springs , S. D. , to Omaha and return is $21.90. On the following special days a rate of $16.40 has been niado from Omaha to Hot Springs and return : Tune 16 and 30 and July 6 and 9. On the following special days a rate of $16.40 has been made for the round trip from Hot Springs to Omaha and return : May 31 and August 2 and 4. A rate of $16.40 plus $2 , or $18.40 , has been made from Hot Springs to Omaha and return on the follow. log days : Juno 19 , 20 , 21 , 2 , 26 , 27 and 29 and July 13. HadeN for Fliuwer Day. The Omaha Terminal lines have telegraphed - graphed to Chairman Caidweli of ( ho West- era Passenger association , asking that he submit a proposition to all the lines in the association to make the same rates into Omaha for 1lower day , on F'ridny , that were offered on Tuesday. The vote of the lines on the proposition is being taken. Whether the proposition prevails or not , the rates offered for the trip to Omaha on Thursday on account of the opening of the Indian congress will he good to return on Friday afternoon and evening. after the flower parade. The ticketa for this occa- don will be limited to August 5 , and as most of the lines now run evening trains , the return - turn trip can be made after the Flower parade within the limit on the tickets issued for Indian day.

IONEY FOR CITY PAVING Remainder of the Inthroction Paving Bouh Soon to Bo Issued , WORK UNDER WAY MUST BE PAID FOR City Engineer lhutinsates that the Un- tire Amount 'Will ha ilequireul to Uefrny the Cost of Contrnctn Nosy Ouutstnnding. It is very probable that at the next meet- lug of the city council an ordinance will be introduced providing for the issuance of the remaining $25,000 of the 50,000 intersection and paving bonds voted at the last city spring election. Only one-half of the bonds , $25,000 , have been issued and sold , they hay- log been put on the market shortly after the election , and the remaining $25,000 , in the interests of economy , were not issued , the funds not being needed. The money is required now , however , to pay up back liabilities and to provide money for additional paving. The liabilities of the city on completed and existing contracts is estimated by City Engineer Rosewater to ho somewhere between $16,000 and $20,000. Some of these obligations have been stand- lag for a year , and the contractors - tors are anxious to get their money , especially In view of ( lie fact that the city has practically the wherewithal with which to liquIdate the claims. l3esidcs these back obligations , however , and others that are shortly coming due , City Engineer itosewater declares that there is enough work in prospect to use up about all the money that would be secured from the sale of the bonds. For example , intersec. tions ct'lll have to be put in in the course of the reguttering of North Sixteenth street , and last week the Board of Public Works received bide for stretches of paving in other parts of the city , where other Intersections - tersections will have to be laid by the city. In view of this condition of affairs , Pres- idcnt fllngham , City Engineer Rosewater and City Attorney Connell have resolved to Introduce an ordinance to issue the bonds. The bonds draw 4 per c2nt interest. Suiiuiuly of GeograpiuIcs Sccrotary Gillen estimates that there will be needed somewhere between 6,000 and 7,000 of the new geographies selected at the last meeting of the Board of Education to replace these now in use in the schools. Some 600 unusued books now on hand will be exchanged on even terms for a similar number of the now ones and the geographies that have been in use will be sold to the book company for 21 and 44 cents. The now books cost , respectively , 45 and 94 cents. But few histories of the new kind will be needed , although a small number will be ordered to replace such now in use as are worn out. President Jordan figures that the city gets the best end of the deal in selecting ( he new history , besides getting a better book. The Anderson history , which Is to be discarded , cost 80 cents , while the new McMaster's history cost 75 cents. Houuul Prolouoitlon Coninsittee. President Jordan of the IJoarol of Education - cation has appointed the following committee - toe to consider the matter of presenting a proposition to the people of Omaha at the coming election to vote bonds for the crec- tin of a high school building or addition and three other school buildings : Members Pen- fold , Buchanan , Burgess , Moore and Thomas. This committee , together with President Jordan , Secretary Gillen , the superintendent of schools and the superintendent of buildings - ings will hold a meeting during the latter part. of this week , flnrbcr' flonrd Meeting , The amended barbers' ordinance Introduced - duced at the last. meeting of the city council makes but a minor change In the existing ordinance. It. provides that the Board of Ex- aminore shall meet on the first and third Mondays of each month , but may call special meetings. The members of the board will be paid $2 each for every regular sitting and nothing for the special sessions and in any event they will be paid only when the necessary - sary money Is in the fund.
