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. Paul,, from Chicago, and hla

of the Union ' Pacific, General Manager
Dickinson and other officials ot that road,
have given' Impetus to the report that tin
Union, Pacific .has bought the. 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. .
An Important meeting of executlvea of

BEARS MAKEA NEW MOVE
Board ot Trade Directors Retjaested
to Fla a Marginal Price
n Oats. '
CHICAGO, July 29. 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

NEW YORK, July 2. A World Clspatch
from Havana aaya - that General Perlco
Del ago la under arrest charged- with hav
ing assassinated , Antonio, a nephew ot
Colonel Baldomero Acosta.
The arrest baa caused a profound sensa
tion, aa General Delage la one of the beat
known Cubana. He oommanded. the Cutan
sharpshooters who operated against Wey
ler'a black Spanish guerillas In the late
revolution. He is now an offloer of the
Cuban rural guards.

man'a uncle, obtained private Information
that his nephew waa aelxed by guarda under

CROWDS GROW THREATENING AT PLACES
Men " Employed In Mines Afraid to

EHAMOKIN. Pa., July 29. One thousand
men, women and children assembled at the
Mineral company's Cameron colliery thla
evening and hootel and cursed nonunion
men aa they quit work. A delegation of
boys atoned several aub-bossea aa they en
tered town. Chief Burgess Thomas and the
police charged the crowd and put them to
night. The coal company officials say they
will ask tor troops tomorrow If there Is a
continuance of the attempta to annoy the
workmen.
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa., July 29. Two
crowds of strikers numbering fully J, 000
men, women and children, collected at all
the Reading and Union company operations
between here and Shamokln thla evening
and hurled atonea and sticks at the non
union men. Six of the latter were cap
tured by the mob near Rlcharde' colliery and
were badly pummelled. On promising to
remain away from the colliery until the -strike
ends they were liberated. Several
scores of nonunion men remained at a
Couple of the mines tonight, afraid to face
the strikers, who are picketed along the
roads leading into town.
, Richards Threatened Blacklist.
' 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.

Late spring wheat needs raln'in portions

too wet for the binders.
Oats barveeting ia progressing under diffi
culties in the upper Miaeltslppl valley and

FORCED TO GIVEBACK MONEY
Delicate Erabeaalement Caae 1. Han
dled la Diplomatic Way by
- Ambassador . Clayton.
"WASHINGTON. July 29. United Statea
Ambassador Clay-ton, at Mexico, haa auc
eeded in securing restitution in' one of
the largest- embetxlement cases before the
Mexican State department. .
Some time ago Jamea Brown , Potter,
representing large American and English
lnteresta in the Tlahaulllo Mining com
pany of Mexico, appealed to th State de
partment for jiMtica, claiming that by a
fraudulent conspiracy aom of the direc
tor of the company had embeizled funda
to the amount of $2,000,000. .,
This, it was charged, was accomplished
by packed elections and the bestowal "of
illegal power upon one of the director of
th company. The fact that aome. .in
ferior Mexican offlclala were Involved In
the conaplracy made it almoat Impossible
to obtain juatice by he ordinary method.
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.
NATIVES CONFESS TO MURDER
Party of Four Americans Killed aad
. Bodies CaatAdrirt la a
mall Boat.
WASHINGTON, July. 29. Manila papers
received at -the War department give an
account of the beginning ot the trial of
twenty-three natlvea In the Island of Mlh
doro, who are charged with killing four
Americana. The.namea and identity of the
Americana could not be obtained.
From one ot the twenty-three men ar
rested a partial atory of the maaaacre has
been obtained. The four Americana ap
proached the shore of Mlndoro in a boat
and aa aoon aa they landed the natlvea at
tacked them, putting all to death and mu
tilating them. The bodies then were put
la th boat and cast adrift. The finding
ot the boat by the Americana led to the
d lace very of the crime and confeaalona from
soms of th native gav auch fact as
bav been obtained.
Illlael la Dry Deck.
WASHINGTON, July 29. Th United
Statea battleship Illinola, which atruck an
obatructlon in th harbor ot Chrlatlaata.
Norway, on July 14. waa aafely placed In
dry dock at Chatham today. Aa ex

THREATEN FOREIGN CONSULS
la Danater t Haytien Moha, hut Will
Receive- Protection on
Machla.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 29. The fol
lowing cablegram, dated today, was re
ceived at the Navy department thla after
noon from Commander McCrea of the Mi
chlas, which arrived at Cape Haytien yes
terday: Affair are very much dlaturbed at Cave
Haytien. 1'norganlsed mob In the rltv.
Foreign consuls have been threatened. Will
give protection on board. I will prevent
bombardment without due notice.
The State department haa no hesltalton
In fully approving the energetic and suf
ficient action of Commander McCrea in
Uklng care of the foreign consuls and In
preventing a bombardment without warning.
The American and foreign lnteresta tn Cape
Haytien are large, and an American captain
I required by the unwritten law to look
after the life and property of other foreign
resldenta as well aa Americana In auch
casee. It is aald that the rulee of inter
national law aa well as the dictates of
humanity require that proper notice be
given "before a bombardment, la order that
women, children and non-combatants may
leave the town and carry off their personal
belongings.'
The Navy department feela that the Ma
chlaa .la aufflclently large for the work at
hand at thla point, though If there were
more auch email American guuboats In th-s
gulf and Caribbean, a quiet and restrain
ing Influence would be exerted over these
frequent rebellous outbreaks, involving
vlolatlona of the rules of war and great
suffering. However, there Is no naval ves
sel, aave those now actually engaged In
auch service as Machlas, within 1,800
miles of the varioua seata of trouble In
Central and South America and the West
Indlea. Machlas Is a vessel of 1,777
tons, carrying eight 4-inch rapid fire guns
and a ctew of eleven officers and 143 men.
While not many men could be spared for
a landing party, the vessel undoubtedly
could live In the anchorage and cover the
town with its guns. It Is not believed that
there is the slightest danger of an attack
upon It by any of the Haytian gunboata,
loyal or rebel.
