THE OMAHA DAILY IlEEt WEDNESDAT, JULY "80, 1002. MAMMAS ADMIRES ODELL GoTraoT of 5w York Wim Bailroad Uagnate'i Roiipect BASIS TOR THE UNION PACIFIC STORY Shrewd Piece of Financial Llilll Achieved by the (lotfrior Attract Attention of Money Kin of Wall Street. The pres report from New York yes terday that Governor Odell of the Empire tat was to retire from active politics to accept a high position with the Union Paclfto Railroad company at the command ins salary of $100,000, with home and head quarters In Omaha, recalls the rumor which was set afloat last winter when the governor was preparing for bla "pleasure" trip to the Pacific coast. At that time it was said that Governor Odell'a trip west was not ao much for recreation as to afford an occasion for a conference with K. H. i Harrlman and other Union Pacific mag nates who were then In California. Back of these reports Is aald to be a i very fond admiration by the great flnan ' oiera of Wall street, In which distin guished class Mr. Harrlman and his asso ciates .will at once be accorded places, for (the young and aggressive executive of New ; York. It appaara that the very elements ' of greatness In these klnga of commerce have been detected by them In the makeup and administration of Governor Odell, hence. their admiration for him. ' The principal proposition laid before the 'legislature by Governor Odell last year fWas a new method of state taxation, which is said to have first amused the Wal street ' magnates and been .looked upon by them las a mere Illusion' of a young and ambl tlou politician. But tbla scheme, which waa to do away with direct taxation and utilize the resources of the state so aa Wo simplify, the system ot taxation, equalize Vhe returns upon great corporations - and obviate the necessity of the regular tax gathering crusade, found easy access to at he commendation of Its former critics when the legislature adopted It and the men of means had taken the time to thoroughly tudy It. Victory for tha Governor. 'v Governor Odell' had demonstrated,- there fore, the wisdom of hla financial Invention (coincidental with hla juat claim to the title of a aapient financial statesman, and more than this, had proven his ability to push bla plan to the front In the face of Wall street's sneering frown. He had made his debut; he bad passed from the novitiate or experimental stage of financial statesmanship and was readily recognlged aa a coming financier. From that tine until the time ot the flrat re port that he had been spotted by the Har rlmana atr a financial manager for their great system of railroads, Governor Odell's stock In Wall street la ,ald to have been above par. ': -' ' ," ' It is said that these facta furnish the basis for the report .published yesterday that Governor Odell had, decided to leave the atatehouse at Albany and assume the financial direction of the, Harrlman lines. It is as a financier, therefore, according to the report jtbt .the. governor Is des ignated. Of this report, which. .was published In the morning papera, that Governor .Odell was coming to the Union Pacific, President Burt of the Union Pacific, said: "I know nothing at all about the matter." Mr. Burt did not discuss the report or Its significance In detail, but made, the state ment that If there waa anything in it he was not aware' of it:...;- - Other tlnlori Pacific and other local ralN road men fund considerable Interest In the report, but none,' waa able to reconcile It. t i aa not see .what position ; Mr. Odell could be given In Omaha," said one. "The financing of the road la all . done In Wall ttreet and must of necessity continue to be done there. Mr. Harrlman has rather re cently placed J. C. Stubbs in general charge of all traffic affairs, of the system of roads controlled, by the Harrlman people and even the auditing department, with Erastus Young at the head,, has just been reorgan ized. Mr. Burt aeems secure in his position aa president of the Union Pacific, so I can't see. what, place' could be assigned or even created for Mr. Odell or anyone else at such a commanding salary aa that." ' Governor Odell . recently vlalted Omaha. when he waa given a dinner at the Omaha olub by president Burt and Introduced to representative professional . and business men ot this city.. There was no Intimation at that time of the proposed connection ot the . governor 'with-the ' Union Pacific Railroad company. Peck Coaaaela with Baldwin. Tha presence in Omaha ot George K Peck, general counael of the Chicago. Mil waukee A gt.

Milwaukee and will . enter immediately upon the ex tension worlt to the Pacific coast which the Milwaukee old management had planned. This extension, as has been published, is to begin at Evans, 6. D the western ter minus of the Milwaukee, and run to 8eattle. Mr. Peck reached Omaha Monday even ing in hla private- tar and left the city after a private meeting with the offlclala. .

Traders on the Board of Trade who are abort of oata made a long threatened move today against their oppo nents, the bulls, and the maneuver proved an apparent success. Application waa made to the Board of Trade directors for a "mar ginal" price on new July oata, and after a hearing the offlclala fixed 46 cente aa a fair figure for marginal purposes although the new July option closed at 60 cents today and had sold at 72 centa only a few days ago. The bull crowd referred to the application aa "pleading, the baby aot." The beara declared It "standing on their rights." - It is a provision of the Board of Trade nilea that when there Is suspicion of a corner the officials can be called upon to fix a price in accord with outside markets and without taking Into consideration any ot the peculiar local speculative conditions which may exist. ' '' "The directors merely acted' under the rules," said President Warren. "We heard testimony aa to tho commercial Value of oata In other markets and decided to fix it at 45 centa. Thla does not affect (he situa tion at all. except for marginal purpose It permits .the seller to call margins 10 per cent under 45 cents, 'but the buyer still has the right to call 10 per cent over the mar ginal, whatever It happena to be.'V There la no corner rule in extateace on the Board of Trade,: and It the longs de mand their purchatea the ahorts must set tle, deliver or default.' r ' UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER Serlon Charge la Preferred Against av Prominent ' Oflleer In.'

' CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 29. One of the points Which was 'brought out In the trial of John Richards and others In the federal court here before Judge Keller today is that Rlcharde threatened to black list all miners who refused to come out and join the strikers. When Richards waa apeaklng to a crowd and the working miners Were listening, he turned to the working miners and pleaded with them to quit work and said that when the strike waa over and the union had been recognised, which is surely would be, they would not be able to work tn any acetlon of the country. He told them he bad a list of all their names and it would be furnished to every local union in the country, and wherever they went they would be pointed to as scabs and would not be allowed to earn a living. Thla point was emphasised aa much as the prosecution could emphasize It, so that It could be ahown to the court that the organisation, which is opposed to a black list by the employer, purposes to maintain a blacklist among those of ita craft. The peech waa taken by the stenographer of the Collins Colliery company, and the trans cript waa submitted in the court today. Testimony waa presented to show that the marches and the contributions from head quarters of the United Mine Workers were to- support the men on a strike. The men employed in the mines testified they were afraid, to work on account of the gath erings of the strikers, and while the speak er counseled obedience to the law. It waa shown they continued to gather In large crowds In the vicinity or the colliery, and asserted that they would stay there until the men came out ot the mines. The pros ecution brought out testimony today to prove that cheoke to purchase food were aent here by W. B. Wilson and John Mit chell. The prosecution baa closed its case and the defenae will start tomorrow. ' Mitchell to Make Speeches.

The State department referred the' case to Ambassador Clayton, and he brought it to "the' attention of the Mexican govern ment and preaaed It so vigorously that' be la now able to report that the conspira tor have been obliged to disgorge all of the money and securities they bad obtained by their fraudulent operations.
