THE OMAITA DATLT BEE: BATUTIDAT, FEURUAKT 28, 1003. CURRENT COUNCIL SCHEME IS ROCK ISLAND'S Tip Oiren Out that Company it Back of the flew Bridge Bill. CIRCUMSTANCES LEND COLOR TO STORY Brent Wmtfri Representatives la Ceanrll Blnfa Drif that Com pur la Interested In Mesare. nformstlon received from the east by a prominent member of the Commercial club, who decline to have bit name made pub lic, la to the elect that the bill Introduced by Congressman Walter I. Smith for an other bridge across the Missouri river be tween Council Bluffs and Omaha la in the Interest of the Chicago, Rock Island Pa cific Railway company and not at the In stance of the Great Western. The Rock Island at present lues the t'nlon Pacific bridge, but It Is said that tbe railroad's Increasing Interests in the west demand that It have a bridge of its own across the Missouri. Local railroad men are Inclined to tbe opinion that thero Is something In this latest solution of the bridge mystery. Nothing, however, can be learned from Congressman Smith, as he ban declined to give any Information concern ing the proposed bridge. As far as can be learned here, the Central Bridge & Rail way company, In whose Interests the bill was ostensibly Introduced by Congressman Smith, has not yet filed articles of Incor poration In thla state. It certainly has not filed any In this county up to date. The statement that the bill was not In troduced on behalf of the Great Western Is strengthened by proceedings brought yesterday by this railroad to condemn a crossing over tbe tracks of the Omaha Bridge Terminal Railway company In thla city. The fait that the Great Western seeks to condemn a crossing over the tracks of the Terminal company at Four teenth street between Ninth and Tenth venues Is taken to Indicate that it in tends to continue tbe construction of Its tracks to the Transfer depot and reach Omaha over the Union Pacific bridge. Local representatives of the Great Western, who say 'they would have information if the Great Western Intended constructing a bridge of its own across the Missouri, In sist that they know nothing about the Great Western being Interested In tbe bill Introduced by Congressman Smith. Petersen Declines to Ran. Theodore N. Petersen, nominated by the democratic school convention Thursday night as candidate for member I. the Board of Education, has declined the nomi nation. Mr. Petersen states that he was not a candidate tor the office and that the nomination was given him without anyone consulting him before hand. While Mr. Petersen formerly was a member of the democratic party, he has for severs! years voted the republican ticket, believing that the 'present prosperity of the country was due tt) the republican administration. Even had he been a democrat, Mr. Petersen states, lis would have been unable to accept the nomination, as his business requires all his time, and he would have been unable to devote the attention to the office that It should tave. At the aame time, Mr. Peter sen Is not unmindful of the honor which the democratic party did him in nominating nlm. George Tinley, who placed Mr. Petersen's name before the convention, assured that body that he had every assurance that Mr. Petersen would accept It If tendered him. The city central committee, of which J. J. Hughes Is chairman, was authorized by the convention to fill any vacancies In the ticket which might occur, but so far the committee haa taken no steps to provide a runnlngmate for Emmet Tinley, the other candidate of the party..
