Tha occaalon I for the delay In publishing tha new tariff achedulea la a matter which occaalona aoma apeculatlon, aa It la now positively known that tha rata waa under consideration at tha tlma tha announcement waa flrat made In tha papera aoma weeke age.

Subeiquently word waa received that iha new rate . would go Into effect on tha th. but the time for tha expected advance paaaed and no word waa received rom headquartera. Tha local omcee were bombarded with requests for Information, which came by telephone and through per aonal calls at tha offices of tha company, but tha agenta could throw -no light on the subject. The $1.01 rata waa put Into affect several weeks ago after tha Burling ton had published tta tariff aheet announc ing It had mada a new rata on a basla of $1.01 Increase Over Bwrllnsxton. Tha foregoing rate la a alight Increaaa over the old Burlington flgurea, but a re duction over the onea which tha company bad Intended to out In force. While there waa general aatlsfactlon over tha reduction there alao ' waa, dlaappolntment that tha reduction did not reault In a return to tha i old rates. It waa at thla tlma that tha 3 Northwestern threw Itaelf Into tha breach :4 and announced a rata of $1.01.

Loula exposition haa almost been lost sight of, but Inquiry at the local ticket offices ahowa that Mlnenapolia did not get all tha people who wera anxious to have an outing. It la estimated that nearly 2,000 people left Omaha for the Worlda fair. It la difficult to get a fair estimate of the Nebraakana from other parts of the atata wh went on the excursion, but it la aafe to arsume that the state will be well rep resented at tha ceremoniea held there to day. Tha last train for Bt Loula left Omaha at :30 o'clock Monday evening and waa hauled by two engines. There waa an other special of seven coaches In the morn ing at 7:45 and thla also waa hauled by two anginea, while a special made up almost entirely of sleepers left for St. Loula at 11;30 o'clock. Between Sunday morning and Monday evening eight specials left tha Union station, and one waa sent out from Council Bluffs. The Burlington carried less than too people from thla city, but It took aeveral thousand from other parts of tha atata. Tha Burlington official esti mated they would carry 12,000 people, and tha aala of ticketa will not fall below thla number. The Missouri Paciflo carried about 100 people from thla city, but tha number waa swelled at other points along tha Una.

It waa further charged that they at once proceeded to denude the Island of Ita valuable timber. The tres passers were enjoined from further tres pass at the Instance of the Omaha Indiana, and the testimony waa taken In this- city before United States Master Commissioner Dickinson several montha ago. The contention of the United Statea la that the Island waa not aubject to home stead entry after a resurvey of the land had been made, but that it waa part of tha Indian reservation. Phillips A Johnson demur against thla proposition and hold that having filed upon the land and been given a quasi right thereto by regularly accredited officers of the land department they are Justified In appropriating the tim ber In order to prepare the land for culti vation.

MICnAELSON AGAINST FIELD City Electrician Defend Hi Action, Which , i Attacked by Council. SAYS HE IS ONLY DOING HIS DUTY Threat la Canted by the Report of Vaderwrlters taapeetov oa Elee trio Llaht Company'a De rlent Wiring. The members of the city council were real petulant with City Electrician Michael aon yesterday afternoon at the council com mittee meeting. Dave O'Brien became ao active In the discussion that one might al most suspect him of having a strain of Irish blood In his veins, and President Zlm man alao ahowed considerable feeling In hla criticism Of Mr. Mlchaelson. Anderson O. Boeson. head of the Nebraska Fire In surance inspection bureau, wail flung on the coals. a time or two himself, but hardly enough to scorch him. The reason of this heat was the presenta tion of a report from W. S. Boyd, national inspector of the Underwriters' asaoclation, On this Mr. Beeson said the companies stood and they would Insist on the compll ance with It of electrical wiring companiea If the present rate of Insurance was to be maintained. Mr. Mlchaelson waa really on the stand to defend himself against the charge of having gone east and In order to sustain himself in a personal fight given the Insurance companion Information which allowed them an excuse for advancing their rates. That waa the idea of several of the councllmen. "I think It wrong," aald Mr. Zimman, for Michaelaon to have gone to Chicago to get a' threat to raise insurance rates by appealing to the underwriters. Whenever they want to raise the ratea they find fault with something. First It was the wtater Pjpes, then the council, then the fire ap paratus. We have spent thousands of dol lars to satisfy them. The conditions now complained of have existed for years and the underwriters never have complained of them before," Mr. Mlchaelson defended himself at length against the charge of having appealed to the Underwriters' association. Condemned for Doing His Daly. "I am sorry to be conuemned for .doing my duty," he said. "I have made certain recommendations to Improve the wiring. The records are open to show that I have aeen things wrong In wiring and In apeak ing about It have uniformly received cour teous treatment from every, houaa con cerned except the electric light people. They said I did not know what I waa talk ing about and that I had It In for them. In order to determine which waa right I waa aa apt to be wrong aa they I tried to get an opinion from the highest authority on fire hazards, leaving out the questlone of personal risk. All I wanted waa to have in Omaha no less precautions taken than In other cities where they have the same class of currents. Milwaukee ia the only city which does not require the precautions I have asked. All I aaked waa to change the method of hanging atreet lights, which waa not according to the ordinance. The ordinance waa changed ao aa to make the lights come within Ita provisions. After that I only tried to prove whether I was wrong or the other aide." Councilman Nicholson asked the elec trician why he worked for the underwriters, Jle Intimated the aotlon of the latter had coma through no casualties to the public Mr. Mlchaelson replied a man had been recently killed Just outside of the city lim its and that several Area had been started by the wiring. "I did not drop the question of the' wiring and atreet light hanging," continued Mr. Mlchaelson,. "because It waa ao obviously dangerous, the system of loop suspension of 8,000 volt wires. When the city employs a roan aa city electrician he should at least receive a hearing and get official anawers to his communications which I have not" Mr. Beeson said Inspector Boyd had been here aeveral times before the contention had arisen between the lighting company and the city official. He had stayed one time ten daya and had visited, all of the large buildings and the wiring companiea. Holdrege Dlpe In, H. H. Holdrege, general manager of the electrlo light company, waa present and he and Mr. Mlchaelson expressed radically different vlewa as to the length of time required for the latter to answer a notice to Inspect wiring. Mr. Holdrege said he had pinned Mr. Boyd down to the admis sion that the telegraph wires caused the trouble by falling across the light wires. He aald alao regarding tha chargea of Mr. Mlchaelson that dangerous high potential wires and low potential wires which went Into houses and would be handled by people were atrung on the same crossbar, and where they went through tree leaves the current of the high could cross to the low, that this crossing of the current waa Im possible. He aald the company was fixing the wiring which, In the residence dis tricts, had been condemned aa dangerous. . The question came up also aa to dis crimination and Mr. Mlchaelson said his predecessor must have had it in for the light company, to Judge from the ordi nances. Mr. Holdrege aald the ordinance required any company transmitting light and. power to put ita wires underground and pointed out the atreet railway company did theae things, but never had been made to build consults. Tha councllmen demanded of Mr. Mlch aelson why be had not made an uproar about the transportation oompany and made it comply with the ordinance. Enters Into Agreement. Mr. Mlchaelson said. he had made an agreement with the atreet railway com pany that he would require it to make no changea until It got into ita new power houaa and had ita syatem renewed aa thla change would require. The company bad agreed if it continued to furnish power and light it would comply with the require ment. He aaid further in regard to Hay- den Bros., who get light from the atreet railway company, that he had managed to get them to end thia contract, a thing which hla predecessor had tried for 'nine yeara to do. If the Haydena had not been Involved In litigation which kept them from building they would before thla date have been furnishing their own light, he sold. ' The question of the license for electrical work refuaed to Joseph A. Bortenlanger came up and caused a discussion, lie pre sented recommendations and Mr. Michael aon explained that he had failed to pass aa examination. The matter will oome up ai a meeting of the council Monday. John L. McCague and othar members of the school board appeared before the coun cllmen to protest agalnat 1.300 damagea for grading Jonea atreet between Thirty-eighth and Fortieth streets being assessed agalnat the Columbia school property. They aaid the achool building had been built on the established grade, at a cost of several hundred dollars. It was about eight feet below the surrounding land and they bad for thla reason wished to have the etreet graded. They thought they were not eub. Ject to the entire damagea because they had built oa the grade as required. The hoard refused to entertain their contention. Be euro to get The Bee next Sunday.

MUSIC AND UUSICIAIS The Concert Promoters must certainly feel elated over the magnificent audience which assembled last night to attend the opening musical event of the eeason, which, under their auspices, took place at the First Congregational church. Thle premier presentation of the Omaha Concert Pro moters took the form of a concert com posed chiefly of "chamber music." a term which la usually applied to compositions for two or three or aeveral instruments, orig inally to be played In the drawing room or palace "chamber." aa It were, rather than In the large concert hall. The music lovers of Omaha "who are so fortunate aa to have heard chamber mueio frequently In times past could not but admit that the offerings last night were worthy to rank with the very best possible. Didactic analysis or criticism on tha play ing of such wonderful creations aa the Beethoven trio or the Rubinstein trio, aa they were given last night, would be out ef place and unnecessary. And who gave thla remarkably excellent workT. Three men who are working in the art field of the so-called materialistic Chi cago, Mr. Emit Bauret, violinist; Mr. Bruno Steindel, 'cellist, and Mr. Rudolph Orans, pianist. A brilliant trinity of Intrinsically artistic unities. Such ensemble, or con certed work, aa they produced la enough to take one's thoughts by storm and convince one of the greatnesa of tha art when meas ured by great artists In any one direction. Of the solo playing, what Is there to say? Mr. Oans, who came to Omaha without sny wondrous heralding, blaaoned his way Into the hearts and minds of the people by his lucid, brilliant work. Mr. Oans la a great pianist. He has all those qualitloe which go to make up what la termed generally "technique." And above all, anij around all, and over all, there la evident the great soul of a man. In response to prolonged applause Mr. Oana played a Chopin valse as en encore. That Mr. Emll Bauret la a prince among violinists Is self-evident and he waa re peatedly and enthusiastically recalled. Mr. Bauret'a solo work was gracefully accom panied by Madame Mothe-Borglum. Mr. Steindel waa heard to great advan tage In the eneemble, but played no solos The many local friends of this artist one of the few really great 'cellists N of the world, were delighted to hear him again. He was urged to play a special number, but be declined on account of the fact that he had Just returned- from Europe two weeks ago, and was not anxious to play solo work until he had worked some. Such Is the power of the Idea with the great artist. . LIVELY SESSION IN BIG SIXTH i Roosevelt and Fairbanks Clab Haa Another of Ita Ronslag Rallies. Henry T. Clarke, Jr., candidate for state representative, at the meeting of the Sixth Ward Roosevelt and Fairbanks club In Idlewlld hall last night, announced a bill he proposes to Introduce In the legislature to secure the equal taxation of terminal and shop property of railroads in Omaha and other cities of the state. His Idea Is to have the right-of-way and station grounds defined In exact language; all other rail road property In a city to be assessed and taxed by the local authorities. In his speech he urged republicans to vote for the whole ticket and declared that any one of thla political belief must be radical In deed to cut a man of John U Kennedy's caliber aa hla choice for congress. B. F. Thomas, candidate fop -state sen ator, aaid the democrata are trying to trade off their legislative tlcfcet'for votes for Hitchcock and English. -' He 'asserted there ia greater danger In the republicans not electing their congressional and county at torneyship candidates than the legislative ticket and warned his hearers against fall ing Into any traps of thla kind. "I have refrained from taking sides in factional fights," aaid Robert Cowell. chair man of the county committee, "and I be lieve and practice -the theory that a man who haa been aelected at a primary by the people ahould receive the unqualified sup port of. his party. Our candidates are clean, reputable and representative and ahould all be elected. Few men can give a good reason why they ahould not vote for Governor Mickey, and none why they should not vote for John X Kennedy." Nelson C. Pratt made a stirring speech on national Issues, declaring that the time had come when support should be given only to men of character and brains the type personified by President . Roosevelt. He said the whole republican .ticket In Ne braska Is worthy and is entitled to win on its merits. He urged particularly the election of John Ia Kennedy: to assist the president In solving the problems of the nation. . T. A. Hollister delivered an oration and W. O. Ure said a few words' commendatory of men who "knew w hat they were going to do and were able to tell the people about It." County Treasurer Fink urged tne necessity of Mr. Kennedy's election from the national standpoint of the dis trict 4- Music was furnished by the 'Alma Quar tet, which made a hit. President Morearty explained to the club members the neces sity of getting republican votere registered. The club accepted an invitation to go to Florence for a rally Wednesday night BITER IS BI1 THAT ' TIME Womaa la Caaght Extracting Hoitr from Roomers of Place Where She Boards. . , Cora Harrla, rooming at the Cumberland house, arrested Monday night on the charge of vagrancy, ahowed in police court she had the fundamental principles of a great flnanclor concealed about her. Monday night a man and his wife hired a room at the hotel where the Harrla woman stops and paid fl for the use thereof. At J o'clock this morning they were wakened by Cora Harris, who told themv they had got tha wrong room and would have to clear out.
