BREAK FREEHOLDERS TRUST
Third Ward Liquor Deilen Get Around it
by Purchase of Joint Property.
PREPARED NOW TO MEET THE LAW
All Tweatr-Twe Objectionable Saleea

PreaeB tor Hew
I.loesises.
Baloon lirteresta have ucoeeded - In dr-
n venting the "freeholders trust" In the
Thl
Third ward, and the aseoctatlon formed to
bar at least twenty-two objectionable grog
shops seems to be vain. .
By a clever contrivance the .number of
available resident property owners la the
Third has been increased by one-half, and
there is no longer the bare thirty the num
ber required on every petition for a saloon
license. Every one of the new landholders
la both "capable and willing" to sign any
and all petitions presented. Hence the fif
teen protestants have lost tlieir grip.
Acting In concert, persons desiring the
continuation of the twenty-tiro objection
able saloons have bought a lot and have
arranged so that It Is owned by eighteen
persons beyond the reach of thi trust. They
have signed the necessary pstltlons and
there will be few If any salons in the
burnt district that will not be .ible to pre
sent the necessary credentials to the license
board thle year. Already a f e v of them
have died.
Complete (be Trial,
More than a week ago a majority of the
then resident rtrorwrrv owners nut at ' the
home of Thomas Swift, near Fifteenth and
Chicago streets,, and consummated the
freeholders' combine. They drew up a list
of twenty-two jaloons that all are opposed
to, had tt printed for convenience sake and
nnnin)fH a rnn. .l . kw"p -...l.nn ..a
over the meetings of the license board and
see that none of their uames was forged.
The assembly was presided over by Thomas
Bwlft, fc-redlted with having Instigated the
move, and included Michael Gleavon, Nora
Gogglna, Timothy Kelly, Louis Worm,
ElUabeth Ford. John Carlson, J. A. Bona
velr, A. H. Bonavelr, Nels Lyons, Mary C.
Frenzer, Joaopb Frenser, Jerry Leary, J.
C. McGinn, O. J. Wilde, Jr., John Avondett
and several others, who objected merely to

requirements. The antagonism toward' the
saloons is due to the alleged fact that they
have not been properly conducted. Swift,
it Is said, was aroused because of the man
agement of a saloon on Fifteenth and Chi
cago streets, which will be closed this
winter, according to report
No member of the trust declined to sign
for what they called the "respectable"
saloons, and a majority of the petitions in
the hands at Jerry McMahon, Jr., and
Thomas Harrington were not opposed. The
men who were circulating the petitions in
the Third ward bad a much harder time
to get names thaa ever before, however,
because ;the exact policy of the "trust"
waa not defined until a little more than a
week ago. and until that time the mem
bers refused to sign any petitions at all.
Now that the rigorous work Is over Mc
Mahon will leave tonight for a six weeks'
recreation trip la the south. '

D1TERTS TRAFFIC TO OMAHA
Northwestern Changes Schedules, Shifting
from Blair and Mitsouri Valley.
NEW TABLES GO ITO EFFECT SUNDAY
People) Forced Thle Way by Chaage
Will Become Heavier Traders,
it Is Bald, la Gat
City.
Hereafter all the passenger trafflo on the 1
Chicago V Northwestern which bag been
going through Missouri Valley and Blair
will come through O-naha. The changes In
train service made by the Northwestern,
which will go Into effect Sunday, will bring
this about Northwestern officials say that I
this means several thousand additional peo
ple going through this city monthly, a large
number of whom when going east always
have taken the cut-off by Missouri Valley
as being shorter, and. of course, they say,
this will be of Immense benefit to Omaha.
The people who will be forced this way are
principally residents of a territory which
Is tributary to this city, and consequently
secure the bulk, of their supplies from here.
The changes made In the passenger
schedule of the Northwestern In dutall are:
Train No. S from Chicago, which form
erly arrived here at 7 a. ra., wlU now arrive
at 7:65 a. m. This make matters much
mora convenient for eastern passengers ar
riving In the morning. The Boneateel and
Long Fine train, Nebraska and Wyoming
division No. L which has been leaving at
7:25, will leave under the pew schedule at
8:06 a.' m.
owing to lite iarge increase in Iumu travel
it haa been found necessary to run train
No. 18, local which formerly went only as
far as Carroll, la., through to Chicago.
This train formerly left at 4 p. m. It wi:i
now leave at 4:25. This change waa mads
primarily to lighten the travel on No. C
which is a Chicago train.
The new train, No. 6 westbound from
Chicago, arrives at the Union depot at 1:40
p. m. This hi the train which connects with
the Union Paclflo for Portland. The Black
Hills, South Platte and Wyoming train,
which formerly left the Webster street
dtpot at 1 p. m. will leave the Union sta
tion at 1.64 p. m.
The Bloux City train, which -used to run
from Missouri Valley to Sioux City, where
it connected with the train for Carroll, now
runs from Omaha to Sioux City, leaving the
Union depot at 4 p. m. All other trains re
main uncharged.
Hill Road Dips la.
It haa been announced that the Oreat
Northern had made a proportional rata out
of Bloux City to Minneapolis on wheat of
f cents. This action is evidently taken to
match the low proportional rate out of
Omaha which has recently been made by
all the roads. At least that is what it is
taken to mean by grain men. Out of them
said that while the low rate is in effect
from Omaha of course all the grain which
can possibly be sent this way would come
through this city to secure the benefit
which the s-cent rate out of here affords,
and this would naturally cause the rail
roads running north from g.oux City to
losa quite a large amount of business. In

city to loee the advantage over the Bloux
City territory which It might have gained
by the reduction it haa secured.
Low Rat to Break Strike.
A local railroad man made the statement
that the cause of the reduction in the rate
on coal from Omaha and Kansas City
from 13.80 per ton to 14 per ton, which
goes into effect this week to Colorado
points was made by tKe railroads for the
purpose of breaking the miners' strike in
the Colorado coal fields. He said that 'al
most all the mines in that state are owned
and operated by the various railroad com
panies. A largo number of them are oper
ated under the names of private companies,
but," said he, "they are owned by the rail
roads, who, of course, desire to see an early
end to the strike. Under the present rate
coal can be sold almost as cheap in some
parts of Colorado as it waa fold when the
mines there were producing.
"While some of the roads which run out
of Omaha and Kansas City are not directly
interested in the mines of Colorado, they
are interested Indirectly," he said. "For In
stance, the Colorado A Southern inter
changes traffic with ihe Burlington and the
Denver A Rio Grande does the same. Tho
Goulds control the Denver & Rio Grande
and also the Mlisouri Faclflo, so that would
naturally interest the latter line. Tho Colo
rado Midland Interchanges with the Rock
Island, and the Union Pacific, of course,
haa its own lines into the territory and ia
heavily Interested in the mining business
in Colorado, as it also la In Wyoming.
When you take all these things Into con
sideration it Is not hard to get at the cause
of the big slice taken off the rata."
The announcement was made by C. C.
Hughes, general superintendent of the Ne
braska and Wyoming division of the Chi
cago Northwestern, that his offices
would, be removed In scout ten days to
Norfolk, where he will hereafter make his
headquarters. All of the other local offices
of thA division, which are located In the
United States National bank building, will
remain in this city.
Mr. Hughes stated that It waa his desire
to get nearer the central part of the terri
tory over which he has supervision, and
he gave this as the cause of his removal to
Norfolk. Mr. Hughes' supervision extends
over the entire operating department of
the division, and it has been found impos
sible for him to give as close attention
to matters at the western end of the line
while making his headquarters in Omaha
as he thought necessary. He could nt
state the exact date when the change will
bo made, but thought, if nothing Intervened
to disarrange his plans, that he would leave
la ten days or two weeks.

nanloa or Guide.
Little Outdo and Albert Vecchl. from
Florence, Italy, passed through this city
yesterday, going via the Burlington to
San Francisco.
This statement would not sound unusual '
but for the fact that the boys are aged 8 '
and 1 years, respectively, and are unac-'
ccmpanled by anyone. They have tags tied
about their necks on which is written the
debtlnatlon of their Journey, "No. S Mont
gomery street, San FrancUco," and on this
'lra identification the rest is left to the
employe of the railroads and steamship
Hr.es over which they pans. Neither of ths ,
youngsters is able to converse in English. (
The two boys left New York November
j iney were piacea on the train in that
city by aa Italian employe of the steam
ship Una on which they crossed the At

CALL IT MONUMENTAL NERVE
Local Grata Mea Regard the Protest
f Kaasas City as Pre.
posteroaa.
The principal topic of conversation among
grain men yesterday was the dispatch from
Kansas City which appeared In The Bee re
garding' the action to be taken in a retal
iatory way against the Chicago Great West,
ern by the business Interests there unless
that road immediately rescinded Its action
in reducing the grain rates out of this city
to Minneapolis.
General Agent Thomas of the Great West
ern said he, had nothing to say regarding
the new development In the situation; that
he had heard nothing regarding It except
what he had gleaned from the published
dh patch.
One of the leading grain men when asked
for his opinion regarding the proposed ac
tion of the Kannas City Interests In threat
ening to boycott the Great Western If the
Omaha rates were not restored, said that
in his opinion It was. a dUplay of un
matched nerve pn the part of the Kanaaa
City Interests to even ek for the same
rates to Minneapolis ad fit. Paul that

were given this city, when Kanbai City la
located about 300 miles south of this place,
"Why," said he, "it is litce Omaha de-
, mnndlng the same rates to the eaatera sea
j board that are made from Chicago. What
Omaha needs is the same spirit which Is
displayed by the Kansas City crowd. De
mand everything In sight and go to any ex
tremity to get It. I guess If wo stand to
gether shoulder to shoulder perhaps we can
give President 8tlckney as much buslneaa
out of here as he will lose In Kan Haa City.
We did not start In to make a fight of this
matter between this city and any other;
we are only asking our Just dues and are
not looking for trouble, but on the contrary
It is trouble we wish to avoid. We wanted
the organization of this grain exchange to
move along smoothly, and if surrounding
towns will stay out and leave us alone we
will not attempt to hurt tbem, but will
only attend to our own business. Thus far
we have got nothing away from anyone
but that which rightly belonged to ua, but
the fellow Jiiut Is the least Injured Is the
first one to cry juit."
