Omaha Interests today,
in-otmbly It will not be built, but those
who are interested In it say: "It is too
early to say anything about it yet; It might
spoil everything." The Idea is that the
scattered railway offices In this city be
brought together In one great office build
ing which shall facilitate business and be
tin ornament to the town. The principal
blight which has fallen upon the proposi
tion comei from the Burlington, which Is
understood to have declined to be a partner
in It for the reason that road has already
modern general offices at Tenth and Far
nam streets.
Developing; an Office District.
This attempt to add a splendid office
building to the Omaha business district Is
attributed to property owners in the vlcln-
lty of Thirteenth and Farns.cn streets. This
interest has given up all hppe of anchoring
the retail district to that intersection the
retailers have drawn oft to the westward.
The idea is that Farnam street below Fif
teenth may be now built up as an office djs
"trlct. One or two tine office buildlnas near
Thirteenth would acceptably till up the Im
pending bald spot between the wholesale
district on theone side and the retail and
office section on the ottnr. The Intersection
of Thlrtepnth with Farnam. Is the heart of
the titiaheWV district. The First National
bank, the Merchants National, the Ne
braska Nntlonal, the United States National
nnd the Omaha National are all within a
block or less 'nf that corner, and thpv
would all be strongly Interested In locating
permanently there tho railway offices by a
modern,- lire-proof building.

MINNEAPOLIS. Feb. 1.-Karly today
three masked highwaymen, lying in wait
upon the front veranda of the residence
of Dr. Philip Mueller, 1930 Second avenue,
leveled their revolvers at the returning
physician and his coachman, Emil Roe
gats. They shot the latter through the
abdomon and then robbed the doctor and
his coachman of J60 In money.
When Mil Mueller, attracted by the
Bhootlng, opened the door to let her hus
band In, a big St. Bernard dog bounded
out of the vestibule at the robbers. The
dog was killed.
Mrs. Muelier was commanded by tho
robbers to stand, but she ran through the
house to . a back door and alarmed the
neighbors.
The robbers then ransacked the house
and after securing their booty, jumped into
the doctor's cutter and drove away. The
coachman was taken to the city hospital,
where,- It Is feared, he will die.

MAY CHANGE CONSTITUTION

to Amend Fundamental Law,
WANTS POWER TO DEAL WITH TRUSTS
it
Is Xon I raed that Proposed
Oil Rill and Other Anti
Monopoly Measures Are
Invalid.
TOPEKA, Kan., Fob. 16. To successfully
fight the trusts within its borders a con
stitutional convention may be called to
broaden the powers of the Kansas legisla
ture. The bills striking at' the trusts, par
ticularly those dealing with oil, have met
with so many objections on constitutional
grounds that a sentiment In favor of a new
constitution meeting the situation has
sprung up. To this end a resolution sub
mitting the question of calling a constitu
tional convention to a vote of the people
In 1906 has been prepared and will. It Is
stated, be presented In the senate shortly.
Governor Hoch has not yet signed the
bill providing for the erection by the state
of an oil refinery.
Natural Gas Bill.
Along with its fight on oil, Kansas Is also
making war on those who would pipe gas
out of the state. In tho house today Hoi
dren's bill to regulate the mode of procur
ing and transporting natural gas was
passed by a vote of 78 to 32. Unlike the
ol! legislation, which seeks to make a
market for that product, the gas measure
Is Intended to restrict the sale of gas.
Kansas wants the gas saved for use In its
own Industries and to guard It a protective
association has been formed.
Mr. Holdren,' In supporting his measure,
read the following messagwfrom P. A.
Kinney, state gas Inspector of Indiana:
The use of pumps destroys the life of a
well and affects the surrounding territory
a mile in extent. . In a similar manner the
use of pumps has practically ruined the
Indiana field.
The senate has passed a gas bill, but
amended so as to permit the use of
pumps.
Attitude of Government.
Governor Hoch will, It is believed, sign
the bill providing for the erection by the
state of an oil refinery, passed by the
house yesterday, but he declines to say
anything of his intentions. The governor
and his friends hoped, it Is said to defeat
the measure, but the fact that the house
passed It by such an overwhelming major
ity, will, it Is believed, deter him from
vetoing It.
Tho two bills passed by the house yes
terday affect not only the Oil trust, so
called, but other combines. The freight
rate bill passed makes the railroads com
mon carriers, and In this way the OH trust,
as well as other trusts, are to be fought.
Ths antl-dlscrlmlnation bill, which has
been set for consideration tomorrow, is
said to have enough friends to ensure Its
passage. . This measure was drawn up
with the intention of preventing any trust
from entering Kansas and underselling ths
state.
Speaker Btubbs, in explaining his vote
against the refinery bill. Is believed to have
expressed the sentiments ot the adminis
tration on that measure, when he said:
"The legislature of Kansas has overturned
the traditions of history. It is an alarm
ing situation. This Is only the beginning
and nobody dares say whers this frenzy
will lead us. It may go too far. The
men supporting this bill have not looked
far enough ahead."
Governor Hoch stated this afternoon that
ho could not say when the state refinery
bill would rt-acvi him and he preferred not
to state what action lie would take in the
matter until that time arrived.
"It might be this evening or a week be
fore the time comes for action," he added.

prepared by his daughter, Mrs. Anna Lewis,
Tuesday evening breaking the fast. Slnca
