OFFICIAL REFUSES TO DISCUSS SITUATION
Throrr Is Ailvnneeil Tlml lie In
Wenrr of rtratrlrtlona tinier .w
Orrnrralilp In Spite of I! In
Prlncrl, Mnlnry.
From San Francisco comes a quasi con
firmation of the persistent report from
New York City that President Hays of
he Southern Pacific system ts about to
leave thf service- of that line. This move,
H is sattl, Is part anil parcel of the. great
system of changes in the operating anil
managing department of the Harrlman
lines now In progress.
No one hints, howeTer, that Mr. Hays Is
to be summarily dismissed, lie Is to re
sign gracefully, according to the report,
the 'ending of his service to fall on Jan
uary 1 next,
The noted railroad president himself
vns approached In New York on this ques
tion and said th.it he did not care either
to deny or confirm such a report. Hp re
peated this mere statement In San Fran
cisco He that as It may, prominent railroaders
In Oraahn are. at a loss to understand any
such action. In the. first place, they 8eem
to think It preposterous that either the
Southern Pacific railway or Mr. Hays him
self could thus summnrlly con-lude a
binding contract for five years. Ily the
terms of that agreement Mr. Hays received
JC5,000 per antrum, the largest salary paid
any railroad president In the world.
Then, again, the retirement of Hays will
mean cither the naming of another man In
his place or thn addition of his duties to
those cf some othrr president of a Harrl
man read, Mr. Hurt of thn Ctilon Pacific,
for Instance. Hut this Is ronceded to be a
preposterous notion. Mr. Harrlman has
already decided that the auditing Interests
of the Southern Pacific nnd Union Pacific
are loo diverse nnd widely separated, both
by actual distances and by the barriers of
different Sectional laws, to admit of con
solidation under one management. This
would apply with equal strength to the ex
ecutive ministrations f the two systems.
This alternative annihilated, the only
course left would be the securing of an
other president to fill Hays' place. Such a
step would seem Incredible to railroaders,
especially when it is said that It Is to bo
done at the will of Harrlman.
Should this actually take place the the
ory which would find far the readier bo
lief In railroad circles the country over Is
ono that Is already In existence to a cer
tain extent. It is to the effect that Presi
dent Hays has tired of the methods and
mastery of his superior, Mr. Harrlmun, and
Is leaving his position of his own accord,
because Its tenure has grown distasteful to
him.
SALT I,UJ MAY NIII'I'liA.VI' OUDH.Y.
Cntoff Around Southern Kml of l.nUe
Mn- ChniiKr Trrmliina City.
A preliminary survey In Utah which may
assume vast Importance In connection with
the Central pacific road hna Just been com
pleted. It was made nt the order of
Messrs. Harrlman and Hays and was for
the purpose of ascertaining the cost of a
cutoff for that road around the southern
end of the Great Bait hake Into Sat Lake
City.
Many surmises as to the probable mean
ing of this act aro now rite In railroad dr
cles.'The1 mojt popular 'theory' nt present.
Is that the Centrnl Pacific is to be switched
In southward along the linen of the survey
and 8alt Lake City mado the eastern ter
minal nt the line Instead of Ogden,
As at present existing tho eastern end of
this road Is a very costly ono to 'crate,
swinging into Ogden via the Kt . end
Fromontoty mountains. It ts alroa( y known
that the. magnates aro obout to spind s v
eral million dollars merely to batter the last
14fi miles of it between Lucln and Ogden by
reducing grades and curves to n minimum.
That was thn original plan, but this later
movement leads to the belief that Mr. Har
rlman Is no longer satisfied with the Lucln
Ogden scheme and will now seek a cheaper
cutoff to the south nnd n terminal In Salt
Lake City. He might almost as woll do
this as to spend great sums on bettering the
'other pathwny.
That el'hor ono or the other plan will
be soon carried Into elfect Is curtain, as
Mr. Harrlman's willingness and even deter
mination to cut down operating expenses
and at- once with that save time by making
costly Improvements of this nature have
been well Illustrated In the caso of the
recent Union Pacific alterations.

CHICAGO, Aug, 16. A proposition has
been submitted to the western roads to
A. noted London club man once laid a
wager with a Mend that the latter Could
not sell a given number of gold guineas
at a peuiiy a piece. He won his wager.
The people refused to buy. They thought
he was offering too much for too little.
It may be that the claims made for
Dj. Pierce's Favorite Prescription seem
amiosi too great to
'women who in years
of suffering have found
no help in doctors or
medicines. Hut it is
to be rememlered that
no claim is made for
"Favorite Prescrip
tion" which is not
substantiated by thou
sands of women cured
by its use. Its effects
are truly wonderful.
It-wipes out past years
of pain as a sponge
wipes a slate,
Favorite Prescription
is the great medicine
for women. It estab
lishes .regularity, dries
.enfeebling drains,
lieals inflammation
aild ulceration and
cures female weakness.
It, in the best prepara
tive for maternity, mak
ing the baby.'s advent
practically painless.

There was a lively session of Central
Lsbor union last night, at which much
discussion resulted and but little real
business was transacted.
The arbitration committee's report on
Investigation of the sheet metal workers'
complaint against George King was to tho
effect that the trouble had been settled
to tho satisfaction of all concerned; that
the trouble between the stage employes
and Fritz Wlrth was settled In the samo
manner. The latter part of the report
was not satisfactory to the stago em
ployes, who said that the trouble had not
been settled. The matter Involved tho
wnlters' and musicians' unions and members-
of tho former union requested per
mission for Mr. Wlrth to explain the mat
tcr from his standpoint, Mr. Wlrth wag
admitted and stated that he had no
theater nor any use for stage employe
and wondered why he should be required
to employ n stage employe when none
was needed nnd none had been employed
l.t twenty-two years. He eolil that a man
had been forced Into his place who did
nothing but draw his salary.
.Need it lnii .ii)in.
A member of the arbitration committee
stated that ns every other beer garden
and variety house in the city had em
ployed members of the thentrlcnl work-
ers' .union the committee thought a
man suouii bo In tho hall, even If there
was no work for him to do.
W. H. Hell would not stand for the
clnlms of the stago workers nnd said that
he thought It was not right to force a
man Into a place where ho was not needed;
that the rr.ntter should be Investigated
fully before arbitrary action was taken.
He further said that It did not look right
to force him to employ a man at 115 a
week who might not do two hours' work
In a week. The report of the commltteo
was accepted and Fritz Wlrth will be re
quired to hire the man.
The organization committee reported
the organization of the plumbers' helpers.
A special committee reported that it
had not succeeded In making a settlement
of tho work nt thn den of tho Knights of
Ak-Sar-Den and there will be, n meeting
Monday evenlug to tnke up the matter.
A communication was received from the
Painters' union announcing that a line of
$100 had been assessed agulnst Hugh Mc
Caffery for continuously employing non
union palnteis and pnperhangors. A state
ment of the condition by W. H. Hell brought
J, J. Kerrigan to his feet, who claimed that
Delegate Dell was misrepresenting facts. A
hot and henvy argument followed this, In
which every man had an opinion and ex
pressed It at tho top of his voice. Delegates
Kerrigan, Dell nnd others waxed warm and
called each other names, while the presi
dent pounded with his gavel amid the pau
demonlum. Finally the matter was referred
to tho arbitration committee, with a dozen
men on their feet scrambling for recogni
tion. Tho committee which has been soliciting
advertisements for a Iibor temple direc
tory was requested to suspend operations
until after Labor day.

A letter from the State Society of Labor
and Industry regarding tho entertainment
of the delegates was referred to the Labor

no one knew what had been done. When
they renlized what they had dono the mat
ter was taken from the Labor day commit
tee and referred to a special committee,
consisting of tho president, the recording
secretary and tho financial commltteo.
L. V. Ouye, from tho Lnbor day commit
tee, reported thnt the unions of Council
Dluffs would unite with the unions of Omaha
and South Omaha on tho first Monday In

at 10:30 n. m. to march to Syndicate park,
and thnt there will be a meeting of repre
sentatives of the local unions to arrange tho
order of the parade, this meeting to bo held
on the last Wednesday of August.
Dclognte Chorles Johnson, from tho Car
HulldcrB union, announced that his union
had decided not to march In tho parado If it

Tho promiscuous dumping of garbage In
alleys Is causing the City offlclals consid
erable annoyance. In spite of all Inspector
Jones can do persons persist In dumping
refuse of all sorts In alleys and on vacant
lots. A request Is to be made to tho mayor
to have the police keep watch' for violations
of the sanitary rules, It Is thought that
If a few nrrests are mado and flnese lm
poied the practice will be stopped. Several
vacant lots near the center of the city are
used as a public dumping ground. Inspector
Jones said yesterday that ho had tried to
put a stop to this practice, but could not
catch anyone In the act. He suggested that
an ofllcer bo detailed for this work for a
few dnys'with a view to making arrests for
creating a nuisance.
