THIRD CLASS RATE WILL BE RESUMED IServ IVcsliTii riniilfli'itllon ! lvr .Stiuill Iti-tnllcr OiiporttinKy to Khl 11 ( iooil * mi ( 'limply nn ( lit ; AVI Wholesale liquor dealers have scored .1 XIlory In their united protest against the Jec-ent arbitrary action of the railroads In Increasing freight rates. At HIP December irf-niiiR of the railroad rate makers belong ing to the Western Trunk L ! < ie committee the rate on shipments of alcoholls liquors In carload lots was abolished and the Rocond- flaris rate , which before } md applied to fhlp- Jurnts In less than carload lots , was decided upon for shipments In any quantity , Includ ing rarloada. Thla change wan derided upon by all lh l-allmacls In the western territory and the JIPW western classification , effective January r , ttibllHhed the now rate , The wholesale llqui.r IT.MI offered such strong objection , howrvrr. that at the last meeting of the Western Trunk Llnw rommltten the question of nitrs on alcoholic liquors was again taken up and it was decided to put Into effect the .oriuer rates , beginning February 12. \n n , consequence the wholesale liquor liii-n arc making but few shipments now and are walling for the old schedule to be i < < mnrii. The ratpK , which will become t'prrntlvo , and which wore effective until HIP change January 2. ) , when the new western claaslflcallon wns Introduced , place < : : u"lond shipment ! ! of alcoholic liquors In the third class , and leas than carload ship ments In the nccoiid class. The third class rate from the Mississippi river to Omaha Is 33 cents and the second clam 45 cents. At present the sccond-clnas rate , which Is of- fuctlvo on HhlpmentH of lefs than carloads , asycll as carload lots , gives the small re tail liquor dealer opportunity to order a immll quantity of "wet goods" at the same rate as the wholesaler , who buys large quantities and ships In carloads. The re- Kult would be , the wholesalers aver were the Hrcond-clans rate- continued on all ship ments to drive them out of business , as by shipping In carload lots and taking ad vantage of the third-class rate they are nblo tolsnvo from $10 to $50 per car. By this incann they nro enabled to makn their Tiroflt In the subsequent distribution of liquor to the retailers. These facts wore presented to thp railroad rate makers nt n recent mooting , nnd the showing was fol lowed by an order authorizing n resumption of the third-class rate , applicable to car load shipments of alcoholic beverages. 11I.SCUSS1SS SKW T1IUOM5II THAIX. I'liNHi-iim-r Olllclal Talk * of rri > | ioN < -il Triilu ( < I'nrlllc Count. Local officials ot the Burlington were not surprised when Informed by a repre sentative of The Bee of advices received from San Francisco stating that the pro- jiosod through train service between Chicago nnd San Franclaco had toeon satisfactorily arranged. General Manager W. C. Brown of the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy at Chicago cage , nnd John Francis , general passenger agent of the Burlington at local headquar ters , attended a meeting In San Francisco participated In by leprcscntatlvcs of the Hock Island , Denver & Rio Grande , Illo Grande Western nnd Southern Pacific. The plan contemplates the running of a through train from Chicago to the Pacific coast via the Burlington and Rock Island be tween Chicago and Denver , thence over the Illo Grande route to Ogden and the Southern Pacific to San Francisco. Assistant General Passenger Agent Arthur B. Smith says : "I do not know definitely what plans Avoro decided upon by the officials who attended the San Francisco meeting. In all probability , however , through service will bt > accomplished by incaiiH of our No. fi , from Denver to Chicago , nnd No. It , between Chicago and Denver. At Denver connections will bo made with the Rio Grande route nnd It may bo ncccs- eary for cither now trains to bo put on west of Denver or now schedules of running tlmo to bo Inaugurated. At any rate , the plan is thai there shall be no delay whatever be tween Chicago and the coast nnd this will bo done by one of the two ways I have men tioned. In case the business warrants It , I linvo no doubt thai a through train running Intact from Chicago to San Francisco will lie put Into service. At present , however , it Is hardly likely that thcro will bo more travel than can bo accommodated In a through Pullman and a tourist sleeper. These will be trannferrcd from one road to the other , necessitating no chnngo on the jmrl of the passengers and without loss of nny time whatever. The same arrangement Will likely bo made by the Rock Island be tween Chicago and Colorado Springs , win-re connections will bo made with the western lines. " J. Francis tolcgraphod the. Burlington gen eral passenger department from San Fran cisco yesterday ntatng ! that In order to provide ) for the now through service nast- liound the Burllngton-ChlcaKO special , No. fi , will undergo n decided change In time. This train will malco connoctlonw nt Denver with the through train from the coasl and will leave Denver nl ! ) o'clock in the morn ing , arriving in Omaha at midnight nnd In Chicago the next afternoon nl 2:15. : A I prcsunl this train reaches Omaha at 0:20 : n. in. nnd leaven for Chicago nl i > :10 : a. in. , ar riving them at S:10 : p. m. It Btaits out from Denver nt 2:50 : p. in. While the schedule Is shifted about very materially , bringing the train Into Omaha at midnight Instead of In the early morning , the running tlmo between Denver and Chicago under the new service will be reduced but three-quarters of an hour. At present thirty hours nro consumed in the trip , while under the now arrange ment tlui distance will bo covered In twenty- nlnu hours nnd fifteen minutes. It Is expected to put the now through norvlco Into operation February 25. The whcdulo at present agreed upon contem plates the departure of the 'train ' from San Francisco nt 7lfi : p. in. , arriving In Chicago nt 2:1 : ! > In the nftornoon of the third day. "Westbound thn train will l ivo Chicago at 30:30 : p , in. and nrrlva at San Francisco the third day at 5:15 : p. m. VMOtf PACIFIC'S IMC TAX HIM. .

LUNCH WAGON CONTROVERSY Letter of Itov. .loliu Albert AVllllniilH In Iti'ply t < > lle.itntirunt Mcit'n ( llIeHtlllllM. OMAHA , Jnn. UO. To the Editor ot The Bee : Will you do jne the kindness to pub lish In full this copy of my letter to Mr. Howard Harvey , which explains my altlludo towards the proposed lunch wagon ordinance. From the portion ot my letlcr which wns quoled In your rcporl published In your lestio of the 2th ! ) II would appear that I oppose the proposed ordinance in tote , and purely upon sellish grounds. Extracts from letters ara prone to bo somewhat mislead ing. _ My letter will clearly ehow my atfl- ludo upon Iho question nt Issue. Yours fallhfully , JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. OMAHA , Jan. 25. Mr. Howard Harvey , Chairman Restauranl Men's Association : My Dear Sir Your circular letter asking my opinion upon the five quesllons submllted therein has Just been received. I cheerfully respond to your courteous request , although I fear thai I can hardly be an Impartial and fair-minded referee In Ihls mailer ; for ta be perfectly frank with you , I musl admil nl Iho outset that my sympalhles nro all on Iho side of Iho lunch wagons , even "ns they now oxlst on our streets , " for the simple reason lhat , if I am hungry , 1 can go to any of these lunch wagons , receive the same courteous Ircalment thai all olher respecta ble patrons receive and bo served to any thing In their line I have the money to pay for. As this privilege is denied me in most of our restaurants here , you can readily pcrcolvo why my sympalhles would nalu- rally be wllh the street venders rather than wllh the regular restaurant keepers. I shall , however , try to at nsldo , as far as possible , tills bias and consider the question at issue wholly upon Its merits. To your flrsl question I would reply that I can see no harm that these lunch wagons do lo our cllyi and ns an accommodation tea a largo numl'or of our citizens Ihey are , In my judgment , nol only a benefll to , bul a nccesslly for , our city. To your second quesllon I would answer nn unqualified "No. " There are many places quite far removed from any restaur ants whore these lunch wagons could stand and should bo made to stand. I think It un just and unfair lo have them stand In fronl of regular restnuranl doors , If they do so. As to your Ihlrd quesllon I would say lhat I would favor such legislation as would place these strcel vendors of lunches upon is near n plane of equality of opportunity for earning an honest living with routed house venders of lunches , or restaurateurs , aH possible. I do not believe that there should be any legislation thai should lake undue advantage of cither class. I am un alterably oppcsed lo any special class legis lation. Whnl should bo done should be an effort to equalize conditions of competition. Such license ns will Insure this I am In favor of ; but any effort to force out of bus iness the weaker by Iho stronger I am op posed to. I would also favor an Inspection of both their goods nnd those of restaura teurs In the Interests of the public health. I 'jellevo thai If many of tbr.Ro mmi were compelled to pay an exorbitant or high lIcciiKo It would mean starvation for them nnd their families ; because they would not have enough capital "to rent buildings and engage in n legitimate buHlneea , " nn your letter puts It. In my Judgment their busl- ncas Is legitimate now. Many of these ven dors , driven out or olher employment , have taken up this huslnc&a an a last resort. To your fifth question I would reply that I do not bellcvo it IB right to license "people to engage In nny buslncs on our pub lic Htrccls in opposition to those who pay taxes nnd rent ; " nor do I bellevo that licenses nro so granted in our city. Whatever legitimate efforts may be made to equalize the opportunities of men In earning n living I heartily favor. If yours bo an honest effort towards this equaliza tion between the two clareea nt Issue , I heartily endorse your efforts ; but if II be only another of those baneful efforts to drive the weaker to the wall , I am opposed to It. "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none" la tbo principle upon which I would see all efforts of reform based , Very re spectfully yours , JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. 11 It , Wife Mivni ill in.
