I am simply here for three or four days to visit with the heads c f departments and become familiar with some details pf the business which I cannot k-arn In my office in New Tork. 'S far as the successor of President Burt in the management of the affairs of the company are concerned, I have nothing to say st this time. I do not believe that It haa been definitely settled who will as sume the management. Tou people out here will know who It Is about aa soon us anyone. There Is r.o truth, so far as I know, In the statement that I am to locate In Omaha and assume active control of the system. Regardlrg President Burt's plans for the future all I know is that he tells me it is his Intention to take a vacation of several months. He has not said what his Intentions are after the vacation is over. "The election of a general manager for the Union Pacific lies with the board of directors, but, of course, Mr. Harrtman being president, bis choice would very llk?Iy govern'." Judge Cornish did net tell of any con templated Improvements to be made by the I'nlon Pacific during the coming year. He sajd that was entirely in the hands of the president and construction department. When asked If it was true that large addi tions were to be built to the local shops, he answered, "I do not know."

The question of granting a contract to the Welsbarh Street Lighting Company of America for the Illumination of the outly ing districts by gasoline with Improved burners and posts has developed Into a con test between the gas nnd electric light companies for control of the territory. Ac cording to councllmen and other city hall officers the gas company favors the Wels bach proposition for reasons of self-interest, while the electric light company a week agf submitted an offor to place incandesces' lamps, thirty-two candle power, for I2i year. A man particularly familiar with affairs of the gas company said: "It is given out that the posts and lamps row used by the gas company are merely rented from the Welsbach company for $8 a year. The latter In the gasoline contract offers to put in the poets and fixtures and maintain the lamps for 130 a year. Gas for Gasoline. "Aa rapidly aa the gas company can eco nomically extend Its mains it will endeavor to substitute the gas for gasoline. Only a two-year contract is desired. At the and of that time all lighting contracts will ex pipe and there will be a new deal all around. Whichever of the looal companies la in on the field probably will win out." Bald a councilman: "The game of the electric light company Is to get the incandescent lamps In the suburbs, by the contract to compensate Itself for the erection of pole lines, and when the people kick on the Inadequate lighting, substitute 4.50 arc lamps for 25 lncandescents. It la a clever scheme, but I don't think it can get by the council." TAKES F0STERTO LINCOLN Sheriff Feara for Safety of Prisoner Charged with Killing Thomas Gentleman. Henry Fofcter, the colored man who Is charged with having shot Thomas Gentle man, a watchman In the Union Paclflo yards, Thursday night while Gentleman was attempting to arrest him, was taken to Lincoln Saturday night for safe keeping pending his trial It is said that the sheriff believed Foster would be much safer in the penitentiary than in the county Jail. While there has been no open demonstration It is understood that a number of Gentleman's friends were preparing to make things interesting for the prisoner If he had been held here. Gentle man was very popular with the employes, of the railroad company and was regarded as one of the best officers who has ever been on the police staff of the system.' W. T. Canada, chief of the Union Paclflo secret service, says that Gentleman was one of the most trustworthy officers on the fcrce. He also make the statement that Foster did not shoot Gentleman while the officer was approaching him to make the arrest, but that the shot was fired while the two men were scuffling. "Foster evidently saw," says Mr. Canada, "that Gentleman waa getting the better of him in his attempt to arrest him and the colored man drew his revolver and fired the shot which ended the officer's life a few hours later in the hospital." Mr. Canada also says that Gentleman was very careful in the use of firearms and would not attempt to shoot a prisoner until he waa certain that was the only means left of saving his own life. In this par ticular case It appears that he waited too long. The statement that the two men were scuffling when the shot waa fired, Mr. Canada says, Is borne out by the fact that Foster's coat was torn from the shoulder to the bottom where Gentleman had hold of It during the scuffle. Foster will be held at the penitentiary until his trial comes off, at which time he probably will be brought back to be ar raigned. It Is not known just when the trial will take place, but it probably will bi considerable time yet. SAYS HE HAS BOOTH'S SPURS Grand Island Maw Exhibits Relic. He Asserts Belonged to Lincoln'. Assassin. H. P.
