Thirteen men on leave of absence i 4 Dflle.r Daraacsewnkl RMltn) Bfrm I Too Marh Work and Infer, talirty Tmr of Hla Position. Sixteen policemen constitute the force 'patrol ln Omaha today. Lest night twenty- two walked the beats that are supposed I to guard the lives and property of the sleep I log citlaens. ' Of a total forre of fifty-two patrolmen i thirteen are absent on have. Yesterday one ' wore, officer added hie voluntary resignation to the Hat of vacant-lee, ao that the total 'available force of patrolmen for aervlce Is ; reduced to thirty-eight. The resignation yesterday la the fruit of the wholesale dismissal without hearing of ; patrolmen by the Hoard of Fire and Police i Commissioners. Too much work and too I much uncertainty aa to the tenure of his 1 position are the reasons assigned by the loffloer for handing over hla club, star and -key to Chief Donahue. , At roll all Tuesday evening Nicodemua ; Dargaciewskl. one of the old-timers on the force, tendircd his verbal resignation to Captain Hayes. Yesterday he handed hla written resignation to Chief Donahue. Hla reasons set out are those given above. Pargacsewskl's resignation reduces the number of patrolmen on the police force to fifty-one. Of these thirteen are absent on leave and the remainder are divided Into two shifts, sixteen day and twenty three for the night. Dargaczewskt said that for the last month he had been allowed but five supper hours, because of the amount of work ha was compelled to do by Sergeant Hudson, under whose orders he worked. Ko Time to Eat. "Hanson had It In for me, and I could get no relief," said he. "When I waa guarding the Union Pacific gates he would not allow me to atop an Instant for reat. It waa just like a penitentiary down there, and the mosquito were ao tmd that my hands were aore all the time. On my beat In Bheely It waa the same way. When I waa aent there under the old board I waa allowed to remain all night. But under the new arrangements I would be brought In from there to the business district at mid night and had to make the trip during my aupper hour. After I waa downtown I would not bo given fifteen minutes In which to eat. At present from midnight until morning the people In Bheely have no police protection, and those are the hours protection Is needed. "Another reason for my resignation waa the uncertainty of my position. Every time two patrolmen meet the aole topic of conversation la who will be Bred next? This has been going on for the last two months and no policeman can do good work under such circumstancea. Tho six teen men discharged, with possibly one exception, were the best men on the force and I could not stand the uncertainty of the thing. There were no charges against them and anyone la liable to be discharged at a moment's notice. Tho board has ruined the police department and there are very few members of It who era at all satisfied with the way things are being run. I have nothing to aay against Chief Donahue. He has done the best fce could for the men and everyone believes In him, but he can do nothing with auch a board to give him orders." Ko Shortage in Find. "There la no shortage In the police fund," aid Mayor Moorea yesterday, "and there would not be any overlap at the end of the year If the department waa continued to that time at ita former strength. The comptroller's statement, showing that there would be an overlap of some $1,900, la mis leading from the fact that It Includes the full amount of the expense of the alarm aystem for the two mouths, while one-half of that la paid from the Are fund. In the same manner the estimated expenses are increased by charging the whole amount of the aalaries of the membera of the board to the police fund, when half should come out of the fire fund. Then, too, I think the estimate of $2,000 for miscellaneous bills la too high and au. sure the amount will not exceed $1,600." SURPRISES BURGLAR AT WORK PYoansT Man Cornea Hons L4e and Finds Man Breaking; Into loose. Charles Merrick prevented a burglary at the house of hla father, J. H. Merrick, by coming home late Tuesday night. When Charlea got home he beard a noise In the rear part of the house' and upon going In that direction surprised a man attempting ,to enter through the kitchen window from 'the summer kitchen.

TO ENJOIN MARKET BUILDING Capitol 4 venae Property Owners and Othera Will Appeal to the C'oarta. Although the city Council hss approved the contract with C. W. Partridge for tho construction of the market house In spite of the veto of the mayor, a still further attempt will be made by Capitol avenue property owners and other Interested citl aens to prevent the location of a market on the proposed site. Although It Is nxpected that owners of property on Capitol avenue will appear most prominently In the movement, the Retail Grocers' association la alio deeply interested and will take an active It not a prominent part. The present Intention la to enjoin the mayor, city comptroller, treasurer, Board of Public Worka and C. W. Partridge, the contractor, from taking any further steps toward the erection of the proposed build ing on Capitol avenue. The petition to the court, which will be signed by a number of tbe property owners on Capitol avenue In the vicinity of the site selected, will be baaed upon the grounds that the location Is not suitable for market purposes for the reason that It Is too far from the grocery and commission houses; that It would be prejudicial to the best Inter ests of the community to locate a mar ket In the public street and that the building aa planned would be but a make shift at best and would not fully meet the requlrementa of thla city aa a market place and, therefore, the expenditure of nearly, $12,000 would be unwarranted ex travagance, particularly as the general fund Is In no condition at thla time to bear any auch expenditure, while the money la so urgently needed for other purposes. It Is also argued that the contract as drawn la weak and faulty and the specifica tions sre auch aa to leave the city at the mercy of the contractor. Aa an example of tha numerous vulner able polnta which It la said exist In these specifications It la atated that contradic tory provlalon la made In two placee for the exterior painting and finishing of wood work on the building and no mention at all la made of how the interior wood work shall be painted or finished.

PARKER SAYS HE WAS SHOCKED Placed Hla Hand on Rlelrle Light Pole and Became la Report waa made to City Electrician Schurlg yeaterday morning of an accident in which it la alleged J. W. Parker, who Uvea at 219 North Thirteenth atreet, received a serious electric shock. As the case waa atated to Mr. Schurlg, Parker placed his hand on tbe electric light pole at the corner of Thirteenth atreet and Capitol avenue while atandlng on the sidewalk at that place about I o'clock yeaterday morning and from mere contact with the pole received a shock so aevere that he waa unconscious for more than two hours. Mr. Schurlg says this statement appears to him highly improbable from the fact that there la a porcelain circuit-breaker on the pole at a height of ten feet two Inches from the waik, which would effectually abut off any electric current from the portion of the pole below that point. Parker, It ia atated. intends to present a claim agalnat the electric light company for damages. WIRES WILL GO UNDERGROUND Overhead Lines Mast Come Down In Baalaeaa District hy Neat Bpriagr. E. F. Schurlg Is now engaged In the preparation of plans for placing the wires of the city alarm system underground be fore next spring, when It Is required all overhead wtrea shall be removed from tbe streets In the central district of the city. It would not be practicable to atring the city's wires In any of tha condulta In which there are cables carrying high potential currents, but arraugements have been made whereby they can be placed In tha telephone company's conduits through out the prohibited district. In some por tions of the city thla plan haa already been adopted, but in order to complete tbe work it will bs necessary for tha city to construct lateral ducts at a number of the atreet cor acre extending from tha man holts of the telephone company'a aystem to the sidewalk, tor tbe purpose of making the box connections. The total expenaa of conatructlng these lateral aucta will be several thousand dollars.

WILL HELP ITS OMAHA TRADE OPEN ALL NIGHT Withdrawal of Wabash from Traffio Agree ment with Great Western. - FAVORS LOCAL DEALERS OVER ST. JOSEPH Gives North Mlssonrians Accesa to Omaha aa Cheaply or Cheaper Than They Had to St. Joseph. Omaha Jobbers and the South Omaha stock yarda and packing house will be the gainers by the result of a move of tha Wabash. For many montha traffio ar? rangementa have existed between the Wabash and the Chlcago-Oreat Western whereby the shippers and merchants of North Missouri could reach St. Joseph over a combination of the two roads as cheaply or cheaper than they could come to Omaha. On Tuesday the St. Joseph Commercial club waa notified that the Wabash had withdrawn Ita joint traffic rates with the Great Western. This means that to get In and out of St. Joseph over the two lines the sum of two locals muBt be made, which is considerably more than the through rate over the Wabash from Omaha. As a result there will be consid erable business added to the local jobbing and stock yards trade. Unties Are Divided. It la pretty well aettled around Union Pacific headquarters that no new general manager will be employed to take the place of Edward Dickinson for some tlmo to come, if at all. While President Burt haa nominally assumed the duties of gen eral maanger, It Is generally accepted that what functions did not already center In the president will be distributed among three or four other offlclala. These are of a routine character and even they will be , generally supervised, though not actually performed, by Mr. Burt. During Mr. Dlcklnkon'a Incumbency a great deal of the routine of hla office, per taining chiefly to transportation matters, fell to Superintendent of Transportation Buckingham, but since Mr. Dickinson's departure Mr. Buckingham haa come into possession of a greater amount of the gen eral manager's work, ao much ao In fact, that he haa transferred hla office to the rooms formerly used by the general man ager, and aa evidence of the permanency of this arrangement the words, "General Manager," which used to appear on the door leading Into where Mr. Dickinson waa, have been erased and supplanted by this Inscription: "Superintendent of Transpor tation." With Mr. Buckingham occupying thla office, adjoining that of the president, it Is understood he now stands next In au thority to that official. It la understood that the functions of the chief engineer and superintendent of motive power, and perhapa another official, have been widened slightly by this change, each taking on a little more routine than he had before Mr. Dickinson left. Exploits Blsr Ilora Basin. The Burlington local passenger depart ment baa just had published a new edition of Ita folder descriptive of the Big Horn Basin. The publication ia the most com plete exploitation of thia remarkable atrip of country ever put into print. It deals with tha location, area and topography of tbe basin comprehensively, giving glimpses of Its farina, gardens, cattle ranges, irrigat ing canals, oil fields and some Interesting Information about tbe splendid opportunU ties offered to hoineseekers. The Burlington U making a special ef fort to induce immigration to thia terri tory and to thla end an extra amount of Iheae folders has been run off.
