Big Stock Food Mill ' in Prospect for

EASTERN CEREAL' PLANT. ALSO IN VIEW
i . . "
Basinets Men trie t'nnnell to Make
Beat Possible Concessions to
Bring Industries to
'( Town. -
Considerable Interest is being taken by
Bouth Omaha residents In the location of a
big stock food mill, which It In proponed to
be erected jn the northern part of the city.
Since the proposition made to the mayor
nd council Inst Monday night by M. C.
Peters and others proporty owners all over
the city have been Importuning members
of the council to do the best they can with
the company In order.Jhat additional Indus
tries may be located In the Magic City.
"What Is reQuested by the' Petera company
la the vacation--of B treet from the east
line of Twenty-ninth street west to the
railroad right rwy iiJ also the vacation
Of the alley -in block 16 from B to C streets.
Fire protection also Is desired. As It will
only necessitate the laying of two blocks of
water mains) the council already has unoffi
cially agreed to see that the proposed mill
be given ample fire protection.
" In talking, about, this proposition W. P.
Adklns, president of the council, said last
evenina:
"The property east of Twenty-ninth street
never will be used for fine residence, as It Is
too .near th,j railroad tracks. The location
of a big milt In that vicinity will be a bene
fit to South Omaha, as It will give employ
ment to a large number of men who doubt
less will secure ground and build dwellings
1n the vicinity of their work. Furthermore,
uch a mill Will go a long ways toward In
creasing the? taxable property In the city.
Property owhers generally will be benefited
and no harm possibly can come from the
Vacating of,: the Street and alley asked,
neither .can J here be any damage done by
the laying Gf a railroad track south 'on
Twenty-nintt) street from B to F, streets." .
i Other menfbers of the counqll talk In the
Same vein. All 'sr'cm to be working for the
building up of Bouth Omaha and do not
consider that the, vacating of B strett for a
block ni the Vacating of the alley will work
any. hardship-on any one. It Is expected
that an ordinance Will be Introduced Mon
day night in. the council covering the
around mentioned. 'Although the authority
for the statement cannot be made public at
this time It ,Js understood that should tho
council permit the laying of a track on
Twenty-ninth 'street as far south as F
street a branch' of an eastern cereal mill
will be located here. There la also a' pros
pect of a Hour mill, with a maximum ca
pacity of 8C0 barrels a day, being built on
thla trackage. ";. ;
In anticipation of this stretch of ground
being -occupied eight squatters commenced
to move off yesterday. These squatters
have been located on the railroad right-of-way
north of F street. . 1
As has been frequently stated before In
The Bee the railroads appear to be willing
to make Improvements here In case there la
no. opposition to their plans. Every Im
provement suggested by tho railroads lately
hag been opposed by some property owners,
but it begins to look now as if Improve
ment work would be pushed and that South
Omaha will before long be a great elevator
center as well, as a great packing point.
.. So Bid . Received.
Although the lty council advertised that
bids for .the paving and grading of Mis
souri avenue would be received up to May
1, not a bidder put-in an appearance and
consequently no action was taken. It. la
understood that this matter will be held In
abeyance until the courts hand down a
decision In the Hugh Murphy mandamus
proceedings. City Attorney , Lambert has
been advised that this case will be called
In Judge Sears' court on Friday of this
week. Property owners are . anxious that
the question of paving be settled, but o
far no attempt has been made to send in a
petition for paving, grading and curbing
under the old law.
Improvement Clnb Still Working;.
The Northeast Improvement club Is still
working on the proposition to curb and
gutter Twenty-third street fromj the city
limits on the north to Missouri avenue on
the south. Already a large number of
property owners have slifned the petition
for this work and almost every evening
members of the club visit property owners
with the petition. As considerable Interest
seems to be taken In the curbing, guttering
and parking of this street it Is thought by
those Interested that there will be no diffi
culty in carrying the petition through the
council and have the improvements con
templated made this year.
No Storm Damaare Here.
Wednesday afternoon's Btorm was severe
only In wind, rain and hail. Vp to last
night the police had not received any re
ports of any damage except to a few of
the unpavpd streets, which are always
washed out with the falling . of a' hard
rain. The damage to the streets can be
repaired with small expense and this work
will commence Just as soon as the roads
are dry enough to permit the passing of
heavily loaded wagons. Manager Carter
of the Nebraska Telephone company said
that the storm did not Interfere with his
wires in any way nnd Manager Mead of
the Western Vnlon stated that .as far as
local wires were concerned the storm did
not delay his service. Some cellars and
areaways were filled with water, but gen
erally speaking the storm water sewers
carried off the surface water nicely.

Ideas concerning the best way to railroad.
Such a meeting can only be regarded with
tne greatest lavor by an intelligent people.
The story of the transportation of tins
country and of the Improvements of trans
portation facilities Is tne history of Amer
ican progress. It is no exuaaeratlon to say
thai the prominent commercial position of
the United States In the world today Is
cnieny on account ot its low tauroaa rates,
and it Is not at all out of the way for me
to say that If It were not for American
railway appliances the cost of transporta
tion in this country would not today be as
cheap as It Is. it has been estimated that
where one dollar has been Invsted In rail
roads In the United States tho value of
agricultural property has been Increased
ten dollars. The steel rail and steam en
gine, with all other railway appliances,
have been pioneers In the development of
this country. Many unknown sections have
been prospected with a locomotive. Tne
story of American railroads reads like fairy
tales. There are men living today in the
United States who are older than any rail
road. The railroad business ts, relatively
speaking, an Infantry Industry, and yet sea
what has been accomplished. In less than
one generation of men there has been a
most remarkable abridgment of distance.
America Leads the World.
Lord Bacon truly said, "there are three
things which make a nation great fertile
fields, busy workshops, and easy convey
ance of mn and goods from place to
place." Vou will all admit that Lord
Bacon was right, and you will all see the
force of his remarks when you contemplate
for a moment what has taken ul.ue in
America. Today, with great luxury and its
comrort, ana cost or less than i cent a
milf, travelers accomplish In leas than one
hour what, sixty years ago, was more than
a day's Journey. There ate three kind- ef
transportation transportation of people,
transportation of goods and the trans
portation of thought, and in each It seems
to me that we have led the world. As we
look -back fifty years and note the im
provements in transportation, we cannot)
. niiuviiair wiiiai mo lUUKmB Will UO
In the next fifty years. No one can tell.
We all know that a great many of the
most remarkable men of the lawt century
have been Identified with the progress that
has been made In transportation, and the
names of such public benefactors as
Stephenson, the Inventor of the locomotive;
Bessemer, who conceived the steel rail;
Morse, who Invented telegraphv; Pullman,
who made travel by night more pre
ferrrable than bv dav and Westinirhniiaa
who has Increased the safety, as well as
the speed of the traveler will always ap
pears as prominent among those who have
done much for the world in bringing about
improvea conuuions.
Freight Rates Are Low.
The railroad freight rates In the United
states are low. rno other country has any
mien romp carriage or gooas. 'mere are
very few complaints of rates in this coun
try because thev are too hiarh. - Cnmnininia
of extortionate rates are the exception, not
the rules. Hates are lower in the United
States than anywhere alee In the world.
1 hey probably aggregate 40 per cent lower.
This alone is something to be proud of but,
coupled with the fact that, with the lowest
rates In exlstfnce, the wages paid by
American railroads to their employers ap
proximate at least 60 per cent more than
the wages paid to railroad men in other
countries nnd considered further with the
fact that the American railroads probably
pay higher prices for materials than other
emphasize in the world, only serves to
emphasize the triumph In "transportation
which has been achieved In 'America.
It has been my observation that com
plnlnts of unreasonable rates to railroad
men always receive prompt and satisfac
tory attention.
While In a sense railroad transportation
Is a natural monopoly, In a broader senBa
It Is all competitive. Market competition
prevoils everywhere and is always a con
trolling force In rate making.
Supply People Ingenious.
Too much cVedlt cannot be given to the
Ingenuity and technical ability. of tho rail
road supply people. They always rise to
any emergency. They are a Intense in
their desire to Improve the appliances they
make as they are to dispose of them after
thev are manufactured. More could not be
said.
It is a source of great satisfaction to all
of us to have so many distinguished for
eigners In our midst. We know there Is
much that we can Jearn from them in re
gard to transportation. I know that we are
studying the Improvements they ore making
with the same eagerness that they are
studying ours. We hope that these inter
national gatherings will be fruitful of great
good to the railroads abroad and at home,
and I Mi'snrt that th rejmttn will be In
the long run chesoper, aafer and better car
riage of both mjsiengers and freight every
where throughout the wcrld.
I congratulate yna all on this occasion.
It Is a glorious thing to do things in this
world, and each and every one of you are
entitled to great credit for the work you
are doing in the direction of economical
Improved railway operation.
Secretary Taft followed, speaking in
humorous vein.
' Bnnqnet at Rnileerh Hotel.
Many members of the Intcrnattonl ' Rail
way congress met tonight at a banquet
at the Raleigh hotel as guests of the Amer
ican Railway Guild. While the welcome
to the foreign delegates was the keynote
of the speeches following the repast, words
showing the Interest !n the work of the
consress were not larking.
Secretary of the Navy Pnul Morton took
occasion to give fresh expression to Presi
dent Roosevelt's ambition regarding rail
road rate legislation.
Mr. Morton's toast was ''The President
of the United States." After describing
President Roosevelt as "one of . the most
remarkable men of all the rare men who
have occupied the White House," Secretary
Mortori continued:
It will not be nmiss on this occasion, be
fore this assemblage, for me to say some
thing of the attitude of the president on
the. railroud question. He wants nothing
but that whicn ls right and he Is Just as
anxious that no Injustice shall be done to
the railroads as he is that Justice shall
be done to the public. Unfortunately, there
have been abuses in the -transportation
business. Fortunately, they are growing
less every year. It Is very gratifying to
those who know that today there Is less
discrimination and fewer rebates and more
equality In freight rates than ever before
In the history of the country. But, through
one device or another, there still remains
here and there preferential rates which
favor certain large shippers and which bear
aown unjustly on others. This Is the condi
tion of affairs that the president Is doing
his best to remove. The private side track
arrangement ,out of which the unfairness
of rates have been enjoyed (by some of the
big Industries of the country, the earning
of more than a fair return In private car
Investments, the payment of commissions
of various sorts or rebates of preferential
rates In any form ought to be entirely dis
continued. I am sure there Is not a rail
road man here who does not heartily ap
prove of this declaration. My own opinion
Is that If all vicious discriminations can
be abolished the question of rates will
adjust Itself. I consider It a great olece
of good fortune for any man, woman or
cnixi in tnis country mat the settlement
of this matter, the rights of property as
well as the rights of the people, are not
to be ovej-looked by the president. All
he wants In rHllroad legislation is that
which is fair and that which will endure.

their drivers was 'discharged for refusing
to make deliveries aid the rest walked out
at once.
The gain for the Employers' association
was made when the members of the Hay
and Grain Dealers' association, which em
ploys 1.500 teams, declared that deliveries
would be made to any place In the city.
Irrespective of strike conditions. If driv
ers refune, they will be discharged.
Mobs Larger and Uglier. I
The mobs. that filled the streets in tho
business section today were larger and
uglier In disposition than on yesterday.
There was' fighting In all sections of the
down town district throughout the day
and over a dozen times the police were
compelled to use their clubs and the wagon
guards, who were armed with heavy canes,
swung them whenever they were attacked
or thought an assault was. 'about to be
made. . In many cases these guards were
not careful whom they hit and there were
a number of persons who were, knocked
down simply because they happened to be
the nearest man to1- ft" ztaTWart "guard car
rying a hickory club. This was the case
particularly In a fight fepf Xhe Majestic ho
tel, when a number of people who had just
emerged from that place were charged
upon by private detectives who were in
charge, of a number of coal wagons, and
badly beaten up.
On the other hand the strikers and thair
friends were equally indiscriminate In as
saulting people. There were a number of
instances where mobs boarded street cars
and wantonly attacked people riding In
them, giving as a reason later that they
were strike breakers, when In fact they had
nothing whatever to do with the trouble.
W. Jamison and Edward Boswell, the lat
ter a colored medical student, were two
sufferers In this direction. The mob that
boarded a State street car on which they
were riding dragged them off and beat them
unmercifully., Walter Norton, another col
ored man, while passing. Van Buren and
Market streets, was proclaimed to be a
strike breaker and beaten almost to death.
Many Taken to Hospitals.
Up to 7 o'clock tonight a score of men
had been taken to the hospitals with all
sorts ot Injuries. One of these, T. C.
Carlson, a superintendent employed by
Montgomery Ward & Co. may die. Carl
son is in ..charge of the auto-trucks . of

, Driver Fatally Beaten.
A furious riot, which resulted In fatal In
juries to a nonunion driver and bruises to
two policemen, took place tonight at the
Intersection of Harrison and Desplalnes
streets. A delivery wagon of the Fair, . a
large department store, which had mnde a
trip across the West 8lde, had reached this
place on. its return trip. It was driven by
Sidney Chambers, k colored man, and es
corted by police officers John Sharkey and
James Kelly. A drunken man, who had
picked up a stone, followed the wagon,
cursing the driver. He was soon Joined by
othera and In a few minutes a crowd waa
around the wagon, hurling bricks, stones
and bottles. The rain of missiles was so
furious that In a few minutes all the win
dows In a saloon In front of which the
wagon passed were smashed. The officers
stopped the wngon and endeavored to reach
a patrol box In order to send In a riot
alarm, but they were driven back by show
ers of Btones. Each was struck several
times and Officer Sharkey was partially
stunned by a brick. The officers drew their
revolvers and firing Into the ground drove
back the crowd until 'they could reach the
wagon again. It was driven south In Canal
street until Polk street was reached, nnd
here a union teamster drove his truck
across the way and blocked further prog
ress. The delivery wagon was then driven
Into an alley and Chambers, the driver,
Jumped end ran for his life.
