THJ3 OMAHA DAILY BEE : THURSDAY , SEPTEMBER 7 , 1899. BURLINGTON STANDS FIRM Repeats Its Determination to Maintain Lower Differential. FREIGHT LIKELY TO BE CARRIED FREE Ilnllrond Men IJolleve thnt Ilertnctlon of DlHercntlnl Tilll Hennlt In Trnimnnrtntlon of I'relnht nt n \oiiilnnl Itnte. A -well-informed frclcht man stated yes terday In Bpoaklng of the war between the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Memphis nnd the Burlington backed by the Missouri Pacific and Qulncy lines his belief that the war would continue to the bitter end , and said : "If the present mode of procedure con tinues It will be but a sort time until packIng - Ing hoimo products from Omaha to the Routheast will be hauled for 3 cents. ThU In the only solution that appears possible for the existing trouble. The Burlington Is determined to maintain a 3-cent differential and the Memphis road Is Just as determined that the differential shall bo 6 cents. The result will bo that each cut made by the Burlington will bo followed by a like re duction on the part of the Memphis until the point Is reached where the Memphis cannot reduce Its rate from Kansas City any farther and will bo carrying the freight free. Then the Burlington will have Its 3-ccnt dif ferential , but thnt Hum will represent the entire amount which It receives for carry ing the freight. " At Burlington headquarters the statement was made that the tariff on southeastern packing house consignments had been re duced only 6 cents thus far , but this Is said to bo because of the fact that no official notlco has been received from the Kansas City , Fort Scutt & Memphis of any reduc tion In the rate from Kansas City other than the ono first announced of 3 cents , which went Into effect on the Gth Inst. "When wo recolv official notlco , " said an official of the freight department , "of any further reduction by the Memphis Hue. wa will Immediately scale our rate down to the point whore the 3-cent differential will bo effective. " ThU is expected to be done Im mediately following the 9th inst. , as It Is reliably etnted that the Memphis Jlno has already Issued Its tariff with n second end reduction of 3 cents on the rate from , Kansas City , to bccorao operative on that day. No copies of this tnrlff nor notices of its Iwauanco had been received by any of the Interested lines today , but It Is generally understood that It has been Issued. | Officials of the Missouri Pacific and Qulncy | routes are not Inclined to talk about the rate troubles other than to state that they have reduced their tariffs In conformity with the , Burlington In order to protect their ship-1 pers It Is manifest that they are far from | bnlng heartily In favor of the war and de plore the extent to which the trouble la llkoly to lead all of the lines which are ac tive participants. Some speculation Is ap parent among railroad men as to the attltudo of the Missouri Pacific , which is acknowl edged to bo the strong line to the ( southeast because It operates Its own system Inde pendently Uirough the territory affected by the present difficulty. The Missouri Pnclfio In reality holds the upper hand In the con troversy and can force all the other roads It It sees fit by making a radical cut Itself without walling to follow the lead of the Burlington. With its own tracks penetrating the heart of the southeast territory the Mis- ] I r.ourl Pacific Is better able to stand the war1 than any of Uio other lines and railroad men' ' express thomuclvco as expecting the Missouri , Pacific soon to take some decided nnd radical' ' Btop in the controversy. SHOUT CUT Or UNIOX PACIFIC. Twelve Mllert Will Ho Snveil liy Tfevr llonti * from KvnnMton to Leroy. CHEYENNE , Wyo. , Sept. 6. ( Special. ) President Burt , General Manager Ed Dick inson , Chief Engineer Berry nnd other officials of the Union Paelfi" railroad were in the city last evening enrouto to Omaha from a trip of Inspection over the Wyo ming division. Whllo out west the gentle men inspected the route of the proposed cut-off from Evanaton to Leroy. This new plcco of work , which has already com menced , will necessitate the building of about twenty-five miles of new track. Two tunnels , ono a mile in length and the other ft 1'UIo over half a mile in length , will have to ho made. This cut-off will save about twclvo miles In distance and will avoid the steep grades of Piedmont , Hlllard , Aspen and Lcroy hills. During their stop hero one of the officials admitted that the company is making an ofTort to find a feasible route over Sherman liUl. and whlah will avoid the high Dale crook bridge. The official said that no plan had boon agreed upon as yet , but that sur veyors had outlined a road whereby the bridge may bo avoided by the construction of a tunnel. The proposed line would also taku out several bad curves , cut down the Grades and reduce the mileage. General Manager Dickinson stated while hero that railroad men of all klnde are scarce and that his company would put 400 men to work at once if they could bo pro- curud.

Traffic association resumed its sitting lioro today , with all roads represented. Wil liam A. Potoct of Kansas City , secretary ot the nraoclatlon , acted ns chairman. Mr. Poteot declined to make public the work of the meeting. However. It Is believed that the questions of elimination of the arbitrary on grain against Kansas City ; the proposi tion to establish a rate on packing house shipments , nny quantity ; the changing of the llvo otock rates from dollars per car to cents per 100 pounds , are among the questions be ing considered and that the cancellation of rule 13 , applying on grain "milled in transit , " will como up for execution.

COMMUNITY PESTERED BY BOYS t'nrnly Indn I'lny 1'rnnkn on Xeluh- liom Until Deputation of Women for Their Arrciit. If the stories told by neighbors be true , Mrs. Robert Boss , living at Sixth street nnd Poppleton avenue , has a family ot lads who get Into more devilment than Peck's "Bad Boy. " The youngsters , the neighbors com plain , pester the life out of the whole com munity nnd nro the pride of their mother's heart for that very reason. those- who Yesterday a deputation of - reside In the neighborhood visited the office of the city prosecutor and asked what steps they could take to force the Iloss family cither to move or lead lives more In ac cordance with ideas of people about them. They were Informed that such cases wcro not In the Jurisdiction of the police court and were referred to a JusUco of the pence. Members of the deputation had grievances Innumerable against the Uoss boys and their mother. They brought as evidence n little girl named Uccd , living at 1512 South Tenth street , bearing on her cheek a bruise as big as a silver dollar. Inflicted , she said by one of the boys. The lad hit her with n rock. ahe explained , when she crossed the street on her way down town. The boys kept the community In a con stant state of turmoil the women Insisted. Whenever nny of the housewives hung a lot of freshly laundered linen on the clotheslines - lines the Uoss boys Immediately came and spattered the whlto washing with mud man ufactured expressly for the occasion. Then the lads killed off nil the chickens by shootIng - Ing them with slungshots , nnd no one could step out of the house and walk across the back yard without risking their lives by being hit by ono of the flying missies. Altogether the vicinity of Sixth street nnd Popplctou avenue was not a desirable place to dwc.ll In and the police were asked to improve conditions by putting the Ross boys In Jail. When It was learned that this step could not properly bo taken the deputation of neighbors headed for a Jus tlco of the peace to have the family put under bonds to keep the peace. Mrs. Ross , they said , encouraged her sons to do all sorts of mischief. - - - STRANGER'S ' QUEER ACTIONS While ninronlnir on the Street He 1 Arrentc < l After Much Ilcnliitnucc. A man of the name of Leonard was found lu front of the Arlington hotel on Thir teenth and Dodge streets Tuesday night about 10 o'clock acting in a very peculiar manner. Attention was first called to him for the reason that he began to dlerobo on the street. An officer waa celled , and by the time he arrived the man was writhing on the ground , seemingly In great ngony. Ho was removed to the police station , but it took the united efforts of two officers to get him there , as ho fought like a madman all the way. At the station a bottle con taining chloroform was found In ono of his pockets and some chloroform squibs nnd sorab cocalno powders were also found ou his person. Dr. Rlph was called and ad ministered sedatives to quiet him , as ho was very wild. Papers on his person failed to reveal his Identity , but before ho became violent ho told the clerk at the Arlington that his narao was Leonard and that he lived in St. Louis. In a book found In his pocket the name of Joplln , Mo. , waa found. The man Is about 24 years of age and appears to ba a vagrant , an his clothing Is poor and soiled. He told the people nt the Arlington that ho waa tired of living. Ho Is evidently a stranger in the city. Dr. Ralph said ho thought the man would recover. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE LIGHT Several Cnimen Contrlhnte to n Fnll- OH of 11 Thousand from Ycnr'ii Opening. The attendance of the city schools for the opening day fell about 1,000 short ot last year's figures. This is attributed to the fact that the Jewish New Year Is being cele brated and to the extreme heat. Last year the schools opened two weeks later than this and as a consequence almost all chil dren who had been awny for the summer had returned nnd the weather was not of the kind that makes prostrations Hkely. The number of pupils registered in the grades Tuesday was 12,343. Last year's opening attendance , including that of the High ochool , was 14.450 , The returns from the Hith school are not yet In , but it is not expected that an attendance- moro than 1,200 will bo Bhown. The High school IB receiving n number of pupils from South Omaha , Several have already i > aM their fultion and entercU and others have made inquiries with a view to attending.

HAD A HAND IN EVERY CORPORATION JOB lie Wn * Alii-nr * the IMtnnt Toot lit ( he Krnnolilnrd Intercut * Sonic of the Drain lie llelpc-il 1'ut Tlirouith. The candidacy of W. A. Saundcrs of. the Klfth word for county Judge recalls the fact that Saundcrs has a record as a public olllclal that Is scarcely leas vulnerable than that of his running mate , Albyn Frank , lie has served two terms as a member of the city council and one year ns the president ot that body. During Ills service 111 the council ho was conspicuously Involved In every job and combine that munaccd the I Interests ot the taxpayers and ho was largely responsible for EOIUO of the most disgraceful steals and jug-handled contracts ' that have ever been saddled on the city. As a councilman Saunders was the consistent tool of franchlsod corporations and contrac- tors. No claim \vns too extravagant or unreasonable - reasonable to command his support If a cor- 1 poratlon was behind .It. He was also the main agent In securing the passage ot the odorous McDonald garbage contract and the llfty-ycar gas franchise. As chairman of the Judiciary committee ho had scores of Irregular street Improve ment ordinances passed and to this timehe Is enjoying a lucrative revenue from fees acquired by pointing out , as an attorney , the loopholes that ho left In legislation la his capacity as a councilman. These so- called "errors" have already cost the city thousands of dollars In special taxes and suits are now pending , nearly all of them filed by Saundcrs , In which several hundred thousand dollars more are Involved and which threaten to seriously affect the credit of the city. These and other counts In the Indictment that his record presents are ex hibited in the subjoined review of his offi cial conduct. Sir. Saunders was elected a member of the city council in November , 1892 , and took hta 6eat at the first meeting In the fol lowing January. How ho served the Inter ests of his constituency during his first term is Indicated in a circular that was is sued by the Municipal league of Omaha in reference to hla candidacy for re-election. At this tlmo the league , which-Included in its membership most of the leading business men of the city , refused to support Sauuders and Issued an elaborate statement of the reasons by which Its action was Influenced. It said In preface to the voters , "Wo make the statement and call your attention to It that during the two years that \V. A. Saun ders has been in the city council , there haa not been a single corporate job before that body for which ho has not voted. " SimiiilorH mill the Wntcr IllllH. Continuing , the circular referred In do- tall to the specific matters In which Saunders had proved false to the interests of the people. It recalled the history of the controversy between the city and the water works company on account of the failure of the company to provide efficient Ore pressure as demanded by its contract. The city paid the company $84,500 a year for hydrant rentals , in return for which the company agiccd to "afford ample pro tection to property against fire for a radius of 1,000 feet from each and every one of said hydrants , without the aid of either steam or hand engines. " A series of dis astrous conflagrations proved beyond dis pute that the flro pressure was entirely In adequate and the semi-annual bills for hydrant rentals were regularly vetoed on account of the failure of the company to comply -with its agreement. Mr. Saunders voted on each and every occasion to over ride the vetos and pay the water company the full amount mentioned In Its contract. The subserviency of Councilman Saund- OTS to corporation Interests is further indi cated by the following statement by the league of his services In behalf of the elec tric light company : "Tho Now Omaha Thomson-Houston Electric Light company is another of the franchised corporations doing business in and with the city of Omaha. The city has made two contracts with this company for electric lights. The first contract was for one hundred lamps of 2,000-candlo power , which expired N'ovember 20 , 1893. The other contract was for seventy lights and expired March 31 , 1S94. Under the first con tract the city pays to the company $175 per year for each light and , under the second contract , tun city pays $140 per year for each lamp. These prices are based on nn nil night service and lamps of 2,000-candlo power. Notwithstanding the excesslvo price paid to this company , they have been furn ishing , according to the testa mart ? bv the city electrician , lamps of only 1,200-candle power instead of 2,000-candlo power , and the mayor has regularly vetoed the appro priation to this company upon that ground and has Insisted upon a reduction being made from the contract price because of the failure to comply with Its contract , but , as the records of the council will show , Mr. . Saundcrs has on every occasion , except ono or two when ho first entered the council , voted to pay the Thomson-Houston com pany the full amount of its contract price , notwithstanding Its failure to furnish the city lamps ot the character provided for In Its contract. Served the Electric I-lftlit Compnnr. "Not only ' 'as Mr. Saunders voted to pay the electric light company the full contract price , although the city was not getting value received , but his action In the matter of awarding a newcontract , for electric lights shows how earnest he Is in his deslro to protoot the Interests of the Thomson-Houston company. On January 30 , 1894 , a resolution was pa * ed by the council directing the comptroller to advertise for bids for electric lights for three years from March 1 , 189J. On February 13 , 1894 , two blda were re ceived and opened by the council. One was from the Thomson-Houston company for $132 per light per year and the other was from Pardeo & Co. for $112 per light per year. Doth of these bids were referred to the com mittee on gas and electric lights and were accompanied by a certified check as required by the council. They were neither accepted or rejected , but on May 8 , 1894 , the camp-i trailer was directed to readvertlso for bids , not to exceed $112 per lamp per year for' ' three years from January 1 , 1895. On May 21 three bids were received and opened by the council. One was from William Halter of Chicago for $95 per lamp , another was from the Thomson-Houston company for $111.50 per lamp for a part of the lights and $108 per lamp for the remainder , and the other was from the Citizens' Light and Power company for $87.60 per light per year , together with a cashier's check team one of the national banks of this city to guarantee the faithful performance of the contract In case the contract should be awarded to It. "It will be noticed that the bid of the Citizens' company waa Just one-halt the amount paid at the present time to the Thomson-Ilouaton company. For some un known reason , however , and without either accepting or rejecting these bids , the city council , August 13 , 1894 , again passed a resolution directing the comptroller to ad- vortleo for bids for three years from January 1 , 1896. On August 8 two bids were re ceived , ono from the Thomson-Houston com pany for $130 per year per light and the other from the Citizens' ci opany for $135 per light , which were also referred to the committee on gas and elentrlc lights , where they ha'e peacefully slept alnce AUKUSI 28 During all these proceedings Mr , baunders , by hU votes , has ehown his complete eub- eervlency to the Interests of the Thomson- Houston company , notwithstanding the fast that the city Is now paying that company' ' $175 per year per light , when It had n re sponsible offer , backed up by n certified check on one of the national banks of the city , for lights for the entire city nt only half that figure. Wo wy that , for this reason alone , If tor no other , Mr. Saundcrs should not bo re-elected to the city council. " Volril for the Ktirlier HIM , The action ot Councilman Satindcrs In voting to approve the bills of the Darber Asphalt c inuanj for strrri ropii - an i > override the vetoes ot Mayor Dcmls Is nls * cited In cvldenco of his tendency to prefer corporation Interests an against the Interests of the people win clpoto ! him In June. 1893 , the bill of the Barber company for $16,615.71 was vetoed on the ground that the work had never been done , the statement being corroborated by the Hoard of 1'ubllo' Works. In December , 1S93 , another bill of $9,116.45 was vetoed for the same reason , but in each case Saundcrs voted to override the veto and pay the full amount. Councilman Saunders was also one of the | principal promoters of the conspiracy that I was organized In June. 1S93 , to vnii a flft'- ycnr gas franchise , giving the Omaha Gas Manufacturing company the exclusive right I to furnish gas In Omaha and to charge $1.75 per thousand feet until the consumption ' reached 100.000,000 feet per year This ordi nance was Introduced with great secrecy. It j , i was referred without reading and was promptly taken from the files and concealed In the Inside pocket of the chairman of the committee. Ho and the other councilman tnteroftted refused to disclose the nature ot the document and the secret W.T main tained until the ordinance was passed and officially published In The Dee. It was well known that Mayor Hemls would vote the ordinance and , as the trc- mendoua public sentiment that had been aroused mode It difficult to secure enough votes to override the veto , Saunders and his colleagues resorted to absolute fraud to evndo the Issue. The clock In the council chamber was moved twenty minutes ahead , the council mot promptly at 8 o'clock by the doctored timepiece and as promptly ad journed. The result was that when the mayor's secretary arrived with the veto at 8 o'clock , by the correct time , he found the room deserted and the next day the presi dent of the council and city clerk signed the ordinance , affixing the statement that It had become a law by reason of the failure of the mayor to return a veto nt the next regular meeting after its passage , ns re quired by law. This scandalous proceeding aroused a tumult of indignation on the part of the tax payers and public meetings were held at which the action of Saunders and the other conspirators waa condemned In language that fairly sizzled. The result was that the objectionable ordinance was finally repealed and a new ordinance was passed with a sliding scale of prices under which , as com pared with the fifty-year franchise , the city saves over $1,000,000 In twenty-five years and also secures royalties from the com pany that may ho reasonably expected to aggregate $500,000 additional within that period. The part that Saunders took In saddling the notorious McDonald garbage contract on the city Is referred to as "tho worst record of all. " In addition to assisting to get the contract through the council it is charged that "The law firm of Saundcrs , McFarlan & Dickey , of which Mr. Saunders is the head , were actually the attorneys for McDonald , and on July 23 , 1894 , McDonald executed a chattel mortgage to Saundcrs , McFarlan & Dickey for the sum of $1,770 , which mort gage may bo seen by referring to the mort gage records of Douglas county. " Attention Is also called to the fact that "at a meeting of the city council held in September , 1894 , Mr. Saunders acquiesced in the adoption of a report , mode by another member of the council as chairman of the committee , recommending that gambling houses be permitted to run open In the city of Omaha in violation both of the city ordinance - , nanco and of the state law. " In splto of hla record , the combined influ ence of his corporation friends proved equal to the task of returning Mr. Saunders to the council. His record during his second term , which Is even less defensible , will bo pre sented In our next ismie. I To the JlepuMIcim Votern lu jthc Ninth IVnrd.
