THE OMAHA DAITAr BEE : FBTDAT , OCTOBER 21 , 1S5KS. HELPS THE AMERICAN LINES Decinlon of the Arbiters in the Canadian Pacific Differential Case. FREIGHT RATES WILL BE MORE STABLE California lliiMliicmi Will O < > Over tCi \iiliirnl Heinle , Hie Tiilim Piirlllc HHiiK One of Hir Clilrf MIMIP- fluliirlrn of Hie The announcement of the decision of the nrblters In the freight controversy between the American nnd the Canadian transconti nental lines to the effect that the Canadian Pacific road Is not entitled to n differential of 10 par cent on traffic Vo point * In Call- lornla has been very welromely received by the freight traffic officials of the cast nnd wnst lines through Omnha. The freight officials here have received tel egrams from Chicago confirming the earlier announcement of the press that t'he arbiters had' decided against 'the continuance of the advantage long enjoyed by the Canadian line over the American roads. The head of the freight department of one of the Interested lines said to a. Dee reporter : "Tho decision is a very Important one and will be of great bfencflt to the American transcontinental loads. We have not received the full text of the decision , hut a telegram giving the result of the hearing Just about as stated by the press has been received and Is good enough newu for us. The nrblters have sup ported the contention of the American linos. Wo contended that the Canadian Pacific had no right to enjoy n. differential on traffic to California points. "Thuro Is no doubt that t'ho Canadian Pacific will abide by the decision. It agreed to submit the controversy to arbitration and the result Is against the Canadian line. The name road was very prompt-1 In Its obedience to the slmllot decision of the Interstate Commerce commission doing away with Its ( inferential on passenger business. The re- HUlt of this decision will he to give the American lines a greater amount : of Cali fornia freight and Vo enable them to earn more revenue out nt the traffic. Thin will ccmo through a more nearly equal division of tbo freight business among nil the lines. When the Canadian Pacific could carry thu business for 10 per cent loss than the Amer ican lines It secured far more than lie share of the traffic. "I have every reason to believe the de rision will Improve .the ttanscontlncntnl freight situation for n long time to come. It looks OH though this decision would stand nnd would clean the freight' situation of n good many Ills that have existed. With 11 fair division of the business there will not oxlst the causes that do most to invite the wrongs of the freight traffic. The Amer ican lines that will bo most benefited art the Southern Pacific , the Union Pacific and the Santa Fe , though all of thr > American transcontinental lines will feel the Improve ment brought ] about by the abolition of the Conadlau Pacific's differential of 30 pet cent. " WORK OK TIIK TICKKT SCAI.PKHS HHnu : Followed liy n Mori1 I ) -ft Mutilation of TleketH. General Passenger Agent Francis of the n. & M. has a collection of thirty tnutllatei tickets that have been taken up by Ilur- llngton conductors. They have been forget and changed In many different ways , pre > sumably by scalpers , nnd In most cases th < change has been so well made that It la Im possible for a conductor who is. taklnf tlckotH In a hurry to detect It. One of ( ho most frequent ( ( Iterations 110 tlpod In I tm bad tickets Is where the won "September" Is originally punched In tin margin of the ticket the hole has been vcr : deftly fllled up with cardboard of the sami shade , pasted on the back , and then tin word "October" punched out. The effect li to extend the limit of the ticket one month and make use of the return portions of : whole lot of tickets at this time that wen purchased by the brokers last month. Sinn the discovery of this means of nlteratlni the tickets , and Its fraudulent use , the rail road conductors are more carefully exam Inlng the backs of the tickets. Scarcely i day now passes that one or more of then IB not forfeited , and the holder made ti pay regular fare or submit to being put ol the train. Up to date the railroad companies hav not been able to locate the Individual wh Is altering the tickets. The general pas wengor agents believe that one man , or twi men working together , are doing most of th crooked work , and that they art ) well pali by the brokers for the risk they run. S far as thu railroaders have been able t learn the brokers are not raising the date or changing the destinations of any of th tickets , but have a man or sot of men 1 ; the employ of the- brokers who are carryln on quite on extensive business. When th guilty party or parties may be located thci promises to bo a case In the local court that will bo interesting to say the Icnsl There appears to no no doubt but that th man If caught could be sent to jail for long term. But If , on the other hand , th ticket brokers of the city who have dealing with tlie railroad companies should agrc to protect the forger they could probabl end the prosecution by a threat to opt- their books and disclose their operation with the railroad passenger men. In thl event the stuff would surely be olt. Iotvn I'cntrul MAHSHALt/TOWX1. la. , . Oul. t0. !

( iiMirriil Manum-r Cniiulit on HIP llrjilup Without HIM I'liMi. The recent mention In The Uee that Chauncey Dcpew and President Callaway of the New York Central railroad had paid their fares over the Union Pacific Miniature railroad at the exposition recalls the fact that Mr. Callaway did this same thing at | least once before. It came about In this way : Along In the early iOs , at the outset of Mr. Callaway's career as general manager of the Overland Koute , ho went over to the Council Bluffs transfer one day to meet J. Gordon Dexter of New York. Mr. Dexter was at that time a director of the Union Pacific and n dozen other railroads. The return trip of the two magnates to Omaha was made on one of the through traltm. George Kcyes was train agent and preceded the conductor through the train. It was the custom of the train agent to collect the bridge fares In addition to his dutlerf of exchanging through tickets for train checks from all those on' board , who failed to produce the necessary pasteboards. Callaway and -Dexter were | seated In one of tlie day coaches and as neither was. able to produce Union Pacific ' transportation they were held up by the trnln agent for cash fares. The now gen- fral manager , noticing that the train agent did not recognize him , promptly handed over the cash fare demanded , but J. Gor don Dexter was not going to bo held up without - ' out u vigorous protest. Ho explained to the railroad employe that he was one of the directors of the road and could not carry nil the annual passes In n satchel that ho had In his office down In New York. The train agent was obdurate and was about to pull the bell cord and unload him on the "dump , " when he wilted and handed over the fare. | The news of the "holdup" spread quickly nnd soon reached the general headquarters. A short consultation of officials was held and a hurry-up refund vducher and a du plicate annual pafs was made In fiver of Mr. Dexter , but none of the officials had the nerve to suggest to the newly appointed general manager that he , nlso , should be re imbursed ; neither was the train ngent repri manded and George Koyos remained the autocrat of the bridge for several years . thereafter.

It was learned today that a strike of engineers and conductors on the Missouri , Kansas & Texas railroad over J the question of reinstating three discharged I conductors has been averted , the railroad I people agreeing to take back two of the men. After a secret conference between the employes' committee and railroad offi cials , ending last night , the latter at flr.st refused to accede to the demand that tl > e conduct TS bo restored to work. Trainmen thr-n threatened to call an Immediate strike of the conductors and engineers. Another conference was held , the company finally agreeing to let all but Conductor Knock re turn to their old places. This satisfied the grievance committee. Slice ill I Itiitr for Soldier * .

Lowering clouds and a faint trace of snow were not sufficient to prevent largo crowds of visitors coming Into Omaha to sec tbo exposition. At the Union depot shed , nt the Burlington station and at the Webster street station every ono of the numerous morning trains pulled in with good crowds. At the former place Depot Master Ed llaney smiled and remarked : "Guess you couldn't keep these people away with two blizzards. " Maurice Fleming , who guards the lives of several thousand people about the depot tracks every day , nodded his head and said that was right. It Is plainly a country crowd that Is com ing Into Omaha now. While the morning trains from Chicago bring In a good many people with dress suit cases and bags well covered with European labels the great bulk of the arrivals are from the stations within a radius of 200 miles of Omaha and from rural points close by. If they carry any Impedimenta at all It Is In the form of straw baskets. Immense valises and clothing done up In shawl straps. The morning trains brought In heavy crowds from western points at the Tenth street stations , and the oM brick station on Webster street wasn't half big enough to accommodate the arrivals who stood In out of the cold while waiting for street cars. There were no special trains In during the moraine , but the Union Paplllc will bring In a special of fourteen cars at B o'clock this nvenlne. It comes from central Kansas , the train starting from Ellis , Knn. , at1 a. in. and picking up good sized groups of Kansans at cverv station between Ellis and Manhat tan , from which point the train comes directly through to Omaha. HHM.V In > " Down Town. The streets down town yesterday prc- Bent'ed a more animated appearance than on any previous morning of the week. A large number of visitors , caught in ( he cold wave with summer clothing , sought out the clothing stores and were fitted oul ) for the winter. All of the stores and shops wore a busy air , and Farnam , Douglas and Sixteenth streets were livelier than nt any time since flic Peace Jubilee. One Omahan , who has been entertaining a party of eight exposition visitors , at the rate of $1 per capita per day , remarked yesterday : "This cold snap has hurt the attendance nt the exposition somewhat , but It has made a whole lot of trade for the down town storekeepers. After the eight ) lodgers at our house had gone out ( his morning I took a look through their room * to see if anyone ono had blown out ttie gas , and I noticed In every room a box In which heavy under wear Is done up and In six out of the eight rooms other boxes from shoo srorcs. " Denver day at the exposition brought n small party of business men and officials from that city to take part In the exercises. In the party are : Colonel R. E.

The ease has not yet been set for hearing. Stewart sets out that upon the death of the child's mother ho placed It In the care of the llorlns , paying for Its maintenance. The child was to bo delivered to him on demand , Ho alleges that he has regularly paid for the care of the child , but has finally come to tin- conclusion that the llorlns are not competent people to look after It. There fore. ho says he asked for the child a few davs nco nnd was refused possession. A trio of mlsmatcd couples have tiled woo stories In the divorce court. Thomas Jef ferson Hanks Is one of the three who wauta the tic- that binds severed. He was mar ried to his wife , Susan , on September It ) , 1S93. but In the comparatively brief period that lias elapsed since ho alleges that she hns deserted him a dozen times and Is at nresent missing. He also accuses her of using unprintable language toward himself and children at not Infrequent Intervals. Two girls are the offspring of the un on and Hanks wants the custody of one. The other he Is willing that the mother should have , because the little one needs her care. Augusta Kaltlnnt charges her husband , Charles , with cruelty and nonsupport. The couple were married on September 21 , 1S73 , Mn Germany. Desertion is the plea upon which Peter M. Peterson asks for a divorce from IJorothy Peterson. This pair was mated In December , 1893.
