VEW TORK, Jan. 7.-E. It Harriman
m today elfy-f-d president of ths Union
"Pacific Railway company.
The resignation of Horace O. Burt a
prsstdsnt tu first accepted and the elec
tion of Mr. llarriman Immediately fol
lowed, after which the directors adjourned.
There la reamm te believe that Mr. Har
riman's aecptance of the presidency la
only temporary..
Meetings of the rarloua Harriman abdi
cate roads were also held today but they
were said to be of a routine nnd "unimpor
tant character.
Presldsnt Burt rfreived the news that
This resignation had been accepted and that
Mr. Harriman had been elected to aucceed
Mm. His private secretary, T. M. Orr,
stated that no further changes In the fa
cials of the company had been triads
known here and that such matters were
entirely in the hands of the board of direc
tors in New Tork.
A report was current yesterday to the
effect that the charter of the Union Pacific
provided that the president of the company
must reelde In the west. It has been as
certained, however, that this was trus
tinder the old charter, but It Is, not true
Under the new one, and that he can reside
wherever he desires.
The news was received here with no sur-
prise whatever, aa it had been generally
anticipated that Mr. Harriman would suc
ceed to the presidency. As was pointed
out by a local railroad official In an Inter
view In The Pee several days ago, Mr.
Harriman already was president of the
Southern Pacific and Oregon Short tine.
and as chairman of the board of directors
of the Harriman system was actually head
of every road embraced within It, and
would doubtless soon become nominal pres
ident of each. '

NEW TORK. Jan. 7. Charles M. Schwab,
ex-president of the United States Steel cor
poration, took the stand today In the hear
In" to make permanent the recelverahip
over the United Btates Shipbuilding com
pany, to tell of his connection with the sale
of the Bethlehem Steel company to the
shipyards concern.
The attendance at the hearing, which had
fallen off during the taking of testimony,
was greatly Increased today, interesting
testimony being expected from the man
who arranged the sale of the Bethlehem
plant from J. P. Morgan Co , to whom
he had transferred It as syndicate man
agers, to the United States Shipbuilding
company, the arrangement being such. Re
ceiver Smith alleges, that the Shipbuilding
company has' been unable to control ths
Bethlehem company or gain possession of
Its earnings to keep the Shipbuilding com
pany from Insolvency.
Counsel Untermyer of the complainant
Bondholders' Protective association Imme
diately began the examination of the wit
nesses. Mr. Schwab gave his age as 41 and said
he had at present no occupation, having
ceased to be president of the United States
Steel corporation. He had no connection,
executive or advisory, with the Bethlehem
Steel company at this time, he said, though
he had "an enormous pecuniary Interest In
that company." He severed his connection
with the management of the company "on
account of his going abroad in 1&02."
His whols life, he said, had been con
nected with the steel Industry.
'You are considered the leading expert
In that line, are you not?" was asked.
'I do not take that honor to myself," be
answered.

IL J. Penfold accuses certain members
of the Board of Education of accepting
bribes for the awarding of the High school
contract to John McDonald.
That said contract was, as said plain
tiffs are informed and believe and there
fore allege the fact, to be procured by
said Mcl'onald from the Hoard of Kduca
tion by the bribery of certain members of
said board, and It was therefore lllenal and
absolutely void. -and all money paid there
under were llleirally paid and should be off
set against said Judjtment. and said mat- 1
ers will be set up as a counter claim by
said Board of Education in said pending
action, and plalntl."" believe that said
counter claim will be sustained and that
said school district will obtain Judgment 1
Bgainst said McDonald.
The above la the exact statement filed
In. the district court by Mr. Penfold, In
which he makes ths charge.
Revives Old Troable.
Ths troubles between the Omaha school
board and John McDonald growing out of
the contract for the construction of the
high school building was revived yesterday
morning by the filing of a petition In the
district court by H. J- Penfold. who seeks
to enjoin the school board from paying
McDonald the sum of tll.600.
Penfold alleges that ths contract entered
Ints between the school board and Mc
Donald, as the constructor of the new
High school building, waa procured by Ille
gal means and that the sum of $2,250 which
was paid on the contract was only secured
by reason of the fact that members of the
school board were bribed. For these rea
sons Mr. Penfold seeks to prevent the pay
ment to McDonald of the amount of the
original contract.
The case has gone to the supreme court
and a Judgment has been rendered In Mo
Donald's favor. It Is alleged that the
whale proceedings up to ths time the mat
ter was carried before the courts was Ille
gal and for that reason McDonald should
not be permitted to recover.

TELL OF FLYING MACHINE
Ohio Mea Give Aeeoaat of Baeeessfal
Experiments Made la Korth ,
Carolina
DATTON, O., Jan. 7. The Wright broth
era, inventors of the flying machine which
has attracted such widespread attention,
prepared the following which they say is
the first correct statement of tho two suc
cessful 'trials mads by them:
On the morning of December 1. between
10:30 o'clock and noon, four flights were
made, two by Orvllle Wrla-ht and two by
Wilbur Wright. The starts were all made
from a point on the level at our camp In
Dare county, North Carolina The wind at
the time of the flights had a velocity of
twenty-seven miles an hour. The flight was
made directly against the- wind. Each
time the machine started from the level
ground from its own power with no as
Bistance from gravity or other source
After a run 01 about rorty reft along
mono rail track which held the marhlne
elxht Inches from the around. It rose from
the track ana under the direction or the
operator climbed upward on an inclined
course until a height of eight or tec feet
from the ground was reached, after which
ths course was kept as near horisontal as
the wind gusts and the limited skill at the
operator would permit.
The "flyer" made lis way with a speed of
ten miles an hour over the ground and of
thirty to thirty-live miles an hour through
ths air. The first flight was abort- The
succeeding flights rapidly Increased in
length and at ths fourth trial a flight of
fifty-nine seconds was made. In which the
machine flew a little more than half a mile
through the air and a distance of over t&:
feet over the ground.
All the experiments have been condurted
at our own expense, without assistance
from any Individual or Institution.

"I always had tendencies toward lunir

great deal with heavy colds and congestion
of the lungs. Was growing worse daily.
My family and frleads knew I had so-called
Incurable consumption and urged me to gd
to Hot Springs or the Northern Woods as
a last resort. But I was too weak to travel
and gave up hope.
"My doctor finally prescribed Duffy's Purs'

stayed right at home In Albany and kepi
