TUB OMAHA DAILY BEE : MO.NIXAY , JLL.V . J'f , again and the poll c wrre un ble to utop the efforts of the obstructionist * . During the day 300 addltlonnl police were sent over from New York nnd a close wntch wns kept nil along Brooklyn bridge to see that no person could Interfere with the Ifol- ley wires. The only cutting of wire reported to the hendptinrters were the partial destruc tion of the feed cable on Flntbush avenue , but a fcorc of linemen soon repaired this In a temporary manner , which sufficed to reopen the line. Conference nt 1'olluc Ilendunnrtcri. Late In the afternoon , a conference w s held at police headquarters. Among those present were Police Commissioners York , Hess and Sexton , Chief of Police Deyery , Deputy Sheriff * Mclaughlin of Manhattan and MoKcllar of Brooklyn , nnd President HeM lter. General McL er was also In at tendance , tut ho enld as far as he could see there was no necessity of calling out the military. President rtossllor said ho was anxious to bring the patrons , of the several linen back from the seaside roads as soon as posalblo nnd had made arrangements to handle the Coney Island patrons as far as practicable by trolley service , but that he had advised his asslstantn to arrange for the transportation of the majority of the Coney Island crowd back to the city over the elevated railroad lines. The rollco commissioners Informed Presi dent Rossltcr that his patrons and the pub lic In general , nn well ns the company's property , nnd nil ether properties would be sufficiently protected by the police force. In addition to this Commleeloner Mess Informed Air. Rosslter that ho thought the sending out of his private car was "like shaking n red rag In front of an enraged bull. " Several arrests were made during the day nmc-ng the ranks of the strikers nnd their sympathizers , Company Will .Not Arbitrate. President Reseller said tonight that the Brooklyn rapid transit officials would not arbitrate the strike difficulty with their striking employes : "There Is nothing to arbitrate , " said Mr. Rossltcr. "Tho men who have gone out came to mo with certain demands. 1 showed them that they already had substantially all they asked for and would straighten out any Injustice. They came In n fighting mood and were not disposed to look at the sdb- ject dispassionately. 'Mr. Delehonty of the arbitration commission had n long talk with Colonel Williams nb/t the propriety of ar bitrating the alleged dispute. I did not see him. Colonel Williams told him there was nothing to arbitrate , and that Is true. " 'Wow many men -went on strike this mornIng - Ing ? " "Between 700 and 1,000 , not more than 1,000 nt the outside , and about 200 out of 800 or 000 of the Nassau mon remained loyal to the company nnd ran their cars as usual , nnd about 200 of the 2,600 or 3,000 Brooklyn Heights men went out with the strikers. Two hundred out of 2,800 does not make a largo percentage when It comes to striking and tbo result shows what we have held to bo true , n'nd all'along that the Heights men would remain steadfast , They realize that there Is nothing to strike nbout. " "What nbout tomorrow ? " < Kunn. li Men to Operate. "All I can say Is that wo have enough tnen to run every single trip tomorrow nnd will do eo If wo arc not interfered with. Of course , If the strikers should be permitted to pull our motormen and con ductors off the cars and cut wires It would lie difficult to handle the usual amount of traffic. Wowill do the best -we can. We have considered It wise to stop running cars tonight on all the suburban lines after 8 o'clock nnd the cars on the main lines will not be- run after 12 o'clock. Pew people will bo discommoded toy this , as they can use the elevated trains. Normal conditions will return In a day or two , I hope , so that the suburban nnd metropolitan serv ice may bo continued all night. The pres ence of the 'Manhattan police in the- city has had a most < benoQcIal effect. They have , done splendid work and the good order which was maintained today Is owing largely to their presence. Our success to day in conducting our business In the face of A strike Is almost unparalleled. ' We have not only kept all our lines open , but wo operated the now Culver route to Coney Island according to schedule. I cannot es timate the shrinkage In traffic owing to the strike. The returns tomorrow "will tell all that. It seemed to me this morning that there > was special providence In the lowering woathnr and rain. People did not start oft the day ivlth a rush to the beaches , as Is usual , and this gave us tlmo to steady our selves. " President Rosslter said that the Seventh and Ninth avenue lines of the Nassau sys tem were manned by Halscy street men , the employes on that linehaving - refused to go out almost to a man. Linen Arc Ordered Cloned. 'All ' tbo roads , with the exception of three. Green and Gates , Halsey and Putnam and the Fulton street lines , ehut down at 8 o'clock tonight by orders of President Roe- sltor. He ealdi ho would open the lines again at 5 n. m. and promises that the cam will run on schedule time. Chief of Police Dcvory , Police Commis sioners ; Hess and Seton spent several hours In Brooklyn completing the police arrange ment * ! for inking care of the rioters. There was some trouble tonight with a large num ber of people that tmd taken tbe trolley car during the day for Coney Island , by way of Ulmer park. They were let out at Ulmer park and being unable to cither get to Coney Island or return to the city proper for many hours remained there and covernl small disturbances were the result Manager Matcholta was at the plant today nd had an informal conference with sev eral members of the unions. Later ho bad a long-distance telephone conversation with the vice president of the company , who Is now In Chicago. A man was slightly wounded on Rock- away avenue by a striker tonight. Tbe Brooklyn elevated engineers are meeting tonight and may iako action regarding a strike. General 'Master Workman Parsons tpent the greater part of the day In Brooklyn and a considerable portion of tha nftornoon In conference with Mrtsrs. Doleauniv and Web- filer of the state board of mediation nnd arbitration. Mr. Parsons saU tonight ; "Everybody knows that I do not like strikes , They arc not pleasant , and furthei- more , they are expensive.

( ) The Weaver Insurance law , whlob went Into ef fect July 1 , Is causing people to think nultc a little about the taxation of the premiums or gross receipts of old line Inaurn'nce com panies. . This lavr provides for a tax of 2 per cent on the grosi premiums paid to this clara of Insurance companies In Ne braska. Some policy holders are Inclined to t'hlnk ' that It Is a system of double tax ation. Nearly all of the old line com panies , It Is aborted , are on n mutual baals nnd return to the policy holders every cent above the actual expenses of management and the payment of mortality losses. These savings in expense are called profits or dividends. "A policy holder In a mutunl old line Insurance company Is nt the same time a stockholder or a member of the company nnd receives cnch year CT at the end of a period of years his sbnro of the profits , thereby reducing the net amount ho pajo the company to ( ho actual cost of carryIng - Ing Insurance , " said a policy 'holder ' In one ul tbo old line companies who has made a study of insurance. "Hence legislation that Increases the expense of a company merely l rtcilB the amount of a premium to be returned to the insured , thereby Increasing the cost of his insurance. Suppose nil the states should exact a charge of 2 per cent , It would mean that the cost of Insurance would be increased by 2 per cent of tbo total premiums. The annual premium on a twenty-payment llfo policy for $10,000 Is | 360. A tax of 2 per cent would be $7.20 , whkli represents the additional cost to the policy holder , ns this amount would be re turned to him as nn unuecct portion of the premium. "To show the Injustice of thla kind of legislation , suppose in tiho CMO of two men of equal income one should make no pro vision for his family and leave them to be dependent upon tbo community ; this man escapes the tax nnd Ills provident neighbor , whose Income Is no larger , but who , feel ing the responsibility to bis family nnd so ciety , appropriates each year a portion of ( his Income in providing for their future In case they should be deprived of his earn ing capacity , would be punished for so doing and bis punishment would" be graded ac cording to the degree of bis philanthropy. ' 'Many policy holders are beginning to In quire It this sort of taxation Is fair and equitable. They arc coming to the conclu sion that the taxing of premiums does affect the management expense of an Insurance company and merely makes an additional burden for the policy holders to carry. It seems to me that the policy holders ought to protest against a system of taxation which discriminates against tbo Industrious and provident citizen in favor of the spendthrift and compels the former not only to pay for the privilege of being honest to his family , but in addition to pay hie share to main tain nn Institution for keeping in later years the family of his Irresponsible neighbor. " Lincoln neHcntn n Slight. Real estate men and property owners of .Lincoln . are very much Incensed at the pub lication in * tue local official organ of the populist party tor .Lancaster county of an article alleging that property values Ja this .city . have decreased 50 per cent within the last few years and attributing this deprecia tion as one. of the results of the gold stand ard. Copies of the paper containing this article have been circulated all over the county and In different portions of the state. The citizens of Lincoln , including members of the populist party , recognize In the artl- cfe a feeble attempt to make political capital out , of a state of affairs that does not exist. A particular case was cited of property that was originally worth $50,000 and has been mortgaged for { 25,000. It was assorted that by reason of the contraction that bad taken place during the last few years the1 value of the property has depreciated so that It Is now only equal to the face of the mortgage and the interest of the owner amounts to nothing. The Ingenious argument is ad vanced thai by the free and unlimited coinage - ago of tbo silver product tbe property owner would find the vnlue of his property doubled' $25,000 more than the amount of his mortgage. In other words it was asserted that by a legislative act ho would be enriched to the extent of $25,000. "It the free and unlimited coinage of sil ver meant the doubling of values it would Indeed bo profitable for the property owners of thfs and other cities to get into the freb Oliver bandwagon , " said a local real estate dimler nnd a former supporter of the frea silver champion and his theories. "In the event of possible sliver legislation a better speculation could not bo found thnn invest ment in real estate if values are going to go up this way. All a person would have to do would bo to get tbe title of the prop erly , mortgage it for the purchase price aud wait for the rise In value which the cm- bryonlo financiers say would be sure to fol low. Vnlncn IllKker Tlmn Ever. "It ls difficult to reconcile tbo statements of populist editors relative to property values with the facts as they exist In Lin coln. ( Any one posted In regard to real estate known that values are better today than they hove been at any time In tbe history of the city , except during the 'boom ' times , when there was a short period of Inflated values. In addition to this rents are higher than they have ever been , with the exception of the boom days. It Is Impossible to find a desirable tmlldlng in tbe city that Is for rent and -when one Is vacated it Is only on the market for a few days , when another oc cupant la secured. " Another meeting of citizens Interested in the movement to give the First regiment a. reception will be held tomorrow afternoon. Tbo work of securing subscriptions to cover tbe expenses of tbe undertaking will be commenced next week. It is the Intention ( o BCCUIO local subscriptions In tbo dif ferent towns represented In tbe regiment.

Culver of Mtlford , who commanded a company of ravalry In Qrlggz- by's Rough Riders , has received an appoint ment as captain In the Thirty-second United States volunteers , now In process of forma tion at Fort Leavenwortb , Kan. It was er roneously reported that Captain Culver's commission would rank him only as first lieutenant. The letter enclosing bis creden tials reached him at Leavenworth and he U now temporarily commanding the regiment , being the highest ranking officer on the ground. Tbe number of recruits already enlisted for this regiment is about 200.

Orowne , on behalf of the Americans , nnd C. N. Jnckson , T. C. Vassa and A. Hunter on behalf of the home team. The meeting proved satisfactory , the greatest good feeling being displayed on both sides. The status of Durk and Quintan of the American team was discussed and the con clusion arrived at was that no objection to them would hold for a moment. Mr. Jack son waw very emphatic In denouncing the English newspapers that originated the con troversy. He asked the Associated press to make I plain to the American newspapers tha neither h6 nor his colleagues would In any circumstance entertain any objection to cither Qulnran or Burk. ' 'The ' fact that these gentlemen , Mr. Wendell - dell nnd his fellow commltteemen , whb are cf such high standing In amateur athletics \ouch for them Is entirely sufllcicnl , " Bali Mr. Jnckson , "and If any objection should be raised again to either It will not prOceci from the Oxford-Cnmbrldge officials abd wll not have the sympathy of Oxford or Cam bridge men. " The result of today's meeting was to har monize the Anglo-American amateur rules In order that the centrists may bo carried ou under conditions that shall be Indisputable It was agreed that the hurdle races shoul < be run under American conditions , over loose Instead of fixed hurdles , and that each shoult follow Its own custom In hammer throwing It was also agreed that the high Jump should bo taken from the turf , instead of the grounds. Some minor details In regard to the long JUmp were also adjusted. The order of events has yet to bo nr- ranged. On the American side there has been no definite choice of the actual competition for the 800-yard and hurdle races. It is possible that In these cases alternate names may appear on the program. The sport will begin promptly at 4 p. m. , as the prince of Wales will be obliged to leave at 5 for his yacht In the Solent. The committee will meet again at the Queen's club next Tues day to complete the final arrangements. The American team did not practice to day. The men went to church In a body this morning and went for a drive this after noon. Tomorrow morning they will leave for London nnd will take their further prac tice at the Queen's club.

We nro now operating our clubs under the na- tlonnl agreement. That Is good enough for us. I can say that all we ask Is that we bo let alone and we will let others alone , It would bo suicidal for the Western league to attempt to foster nn organization on the lines of the old brotherhood for the simple. reason that It could not possibly hope for success. What Individual members of the league are doing I do not know , nor can Ihe league itself be held responsible. Ynoht Itni-fB Next Friday , NEWPORT , R. I. .
