When asked the reason for the Issuance
of such an order the chief responded that

such that they need the protection of tholr
parents Instead of keeping late hours and

girls who have been making a practice ot
stealing away from their homes under

guests of girl friends, when In reality
they were laying the foundation for a life
of wretohodness and shame. The cases

figures of the railroad world, representing

against serious snags. Harrlman has sent
J. C. Stubbs to Washington; the Santa Fe
has Its men there, Portland and San Fran

for $25 and freight at 40 cents a hundred.
Some ot the highest railroad authorities
In the country pronounce these figures un
precedented and Insist, that If Mr. Hill
should land the contract and perform the
service ho will look In vain for his profits.
While It Is admitted freight has been
hauled across the continent and Paclfio
ocean at $S a ton It waa done at a lorn
and It Is doubted It even Mr. Hill, with all
his sagaolty and prowess aa a railroad

therefore, on the same basis.
Among railroad men In Omaha there Is
a strong disposition to look with mis
givings upon the success ot the Hill plan.
With the combined Influences ot the most
active business men of Portland and Ban
Francisco, aside from the enormous
strength which the opposing forces com
mand from the east and at the very seat
ot government Itself, It Is Insisted that the
man from the North Star state Is bucklug
a formidable fee. While It la admitted
his Influence at Washington Is great, this
dees net minimise the strength ot his op
ponents. The cities of Portland and Ban
Francisco have eminent men at Washing

the roads competing with Hill.
The fight has apread until It Involves

Senator Mitchell ot Oregon and Senator
Perkins et California are working with

seem of defeating Hill's plaa that he baa
wired from Washington to these men that
he will avail himself of their co-operation
it It seems necessary. Hill Is still at the
national capital fighting for his scheme.
There Is a belief that with so msny In

result will be that the government will
retain the transport business itself.
Beet lagar Workers. .
A party of 400 beet sugar workers came

way, but attained phenomenal speed for a
short distance near the eastern Iowa line.

Milwaukee, who accompanied the party.
went for a physician. When the train ar
rived in Omaha the little one and hla
mother were as bright as any members of
the party. The former waa somewhat

CHURCH ON FARNAM STREET
Deputy Dunn are arguing for the state. The
effort of Miller's attorneys Is grounded on

of transacting business, also that the in
formation contained only a recital Instead
of aa allegation ot fact.
Nevr Edifice for First Christian Will
Go on Lot at Nineteenth
Street.
The official board of the First Christian
church has purchased the lot at the cor
ner of Nineteenth and Farnam streets as
the site for Its new church building. It
Is announced by the pastor of the church,
Harry O. Hill, that with the completion
of the new building the First Christian
church will become institutional, caring
for the minds and bodies of the members
and attendants as well as their souls. It
Is the Intention to provide In addition to
the auditorium and Bunday school rooms
a reading room, gymnasium, baths, rooms
where games msy be played and a domes
tic science department for the instruction
ot those who desire enlightenment along
those lines.
In order to carry out this plan It Is
said that the building will occupy the en
tire lot and will be designed along novel
lines of architecture, being one of the
Drat buildings In the west to be erected
for the Identical purpose. Work will
probably begin early In the spring and tho
building will be completed by fall.
It la expected that the auditorium will
have a seating capacity ot 1,200 people, the
largest et any church in the city. Its cen
tral location waa the principal reason for
the purchaae of the let. It being of easy
acoess from all parts of the city. The
nucleus of the building fund has been
secured from the sale of the present
church building. The fund will be In
creased by the sale ot the lot on which
the old building stands and the remainder
of the money will be raised by donations
of members and other cltlxeas ot Omaha.

Judge Baxter yesterday sentenced Ella
Tolls to three years In the penitentiary.
Ella is the dusky belle from the tenderloin
convicted of throwing acid In the eye ot
Charles Stewart and nearly blinding htm.
The Judge asked Ella why she had been
such a naughty girl, and Ella said she
didn't know the acid would hurt the man.
"Well, what did you have acid for?"
queried the court.
"It was 'luck' medicine what I got to a
drug stoh, youh bonah, and we sprinkled
It In front of ouh doah to make us pros
pah." was the answer.
"Very sorry, Ella, but you got the wrong
brand If you wanted something to bring
luck. Three years."
The Judge waa more lenient with

The testimony and argument In tho
Union Pacific strikers' contempt case was
finished yesterday and awaits the de-
cislon of the Court, which is expected Mon
day morning.
The defense yesterday Introduced four
wltnessea with the Idea ot showing by
their testimony that Firth, 'the man who
testified that William Richelieu and two
other strikers had made him the subject
of profane epithets, was a man who bora
reputation for being untruthful and a
dlatmber of the peace. William Richelieu
testified that since the beginning of this
trial Bernard Mechanic, who, as a witness
for the Union Pacific, atated he had been
abused by the strikers, had called at tho
Labor headquartera and after waiting about
there until Richelieu came In had re
quested the latter to uae his Influence to
do what he could toward getting him one

Arsruea Against Pickets.
In the argument for the Union Paclfio
which followed. Attorney Baldwin called
the attention ot the court to the num
bers and strength of the strikers' picket
line, which constantly surrounded tho
Union Paclfl shop grounds from f In the
morning until 11 o'clock at night. "This
picket line," said Baldwin, "Is doing the
aame thing as It was when thla court
found cause to Issue the injunction. It Is
a continued, uninterrupted demonstration
of force by 228 men tor the . purpose ot
serving as an intimidation to the work
ers In the shops."
In his answer on behalf of the strikers
Attorney Smyth held that the defense had
proven that the order of the court had not
been violated In letter or In spirit. Tho
injunction, he declared, had not held that
the picket line was Illegal and that la
bringing up this as a point ho attorney
for the other side had goae outside of tho
case before the court. If the picket lino
waa Illegal there was cause for another
action, but since It was not In violation ot
the Injunction It had nothing to do with
the case In hand. Attorney Bmyth also
went briefly over the testimony of the
witnesses who had been before the court.
The arguments on both sldea were short.
