BURT RUMOR DOES NOT DOWN Report H it to B Engineering Head sf Earrimai Ejitsm PmU.enU R. L. HUNTLEY IS ACTING ClllEF HERE Fact Tl'hleh Leads Color to Theory Es-Prealdemt of t'nioB Paclfle Will Be Over All Co, traction. General Manager Mohler of the Union Pacific has issued his official circular form ally announcing the appointment of R. L. Huntley as chief engineer to succeed J. B. Brry, who resigned to go with the Rock Island. The appointment of Mr. Huntley, who was Mr. Berry's assistant, has been known to readers of The Be for a week or more. Mr. Berry began his service with the Rock Island yesterday.. The wording of the official circular Is that Mr. Huntley has been appointed "act ing chief engineer." It Is signed by A. L. Mohler, vice president and general man ager, and approved by J. Kruttschnltt, di rector of maintenance and operation. Ths rumor thAt Horace O. Burt is to become head of the engineering and con 1 structlon department of all the Harrlman lines still refuses to down and the fact that Mr. Huntley is made "acting chief engineer" of the Union Paclflo has had the effect of supporting this theory. The tendency of the Harrlman manage ment, for some years, has been to cen tralise power and authority. Mr. Krutt schnltt was made director of maintenance and operation; J. C. Btubbs, director of traffic; Erastus Toung. head of the auditing department; E. O. McCormack, director of the passenger interests, and last, but largest of all, Mr. Harrlman absorbed the presidencies of all his roads, Burt leaving the Union Paclfle snd Mohler the Oregon Railway and Navigation company. In the ' light of these facts the theory or rumor of Burt's new position receives much con sideration. Drlaao Partr la Oaiaha. President F. A. Delano, the new chief executive of the Wabash, with other offi cials of that road, were In Omaha Thurs day.

CASE DRAGS OUT AT SOME LENGTH William Ilaydea, as Wltneea, Says He la Aaaloas to Have Facts Aired, bat Thlnka With sell Hostile. Yesterday afternoon Coroner Bralley re sumed the Inquest into the deaths of the workmen killed on the new Hayden build ing last Monday morning. The session was begun by the coroner explaining he had requested City Building Inspector .Wlthnell to sit beside him, as he (coroner) is not familiar with the tech nicalities of building construction and wished Mr. Withnell to take a part In the intricate questioning. Architect James B. Mason was the first witness called. Mr. Mason testified to be ing the architect of the building and stated the original plans and specifications, drawn for what is known as the "slow burning wood construction," were after ward changed to Include the Rapp sys tem of fire-proofing. Architect Mason declared he was not familiar with the Rapp system and said he sought assistance in drawing the re vised plans, leaving the flre-prooflng part to Mr. Collins of the J. R. Lehmer com pany. Withnell Takes Exceptions. From Mr. Withnell s questioning it was evident he took exceptions to the general construction of the building. In reply to one of Mr. Wlthnell's questions, Mr. Ma son said he knew nothing of the building being at present out of true, nor did he know anything of the turn-buckles al luded to by Mr. Withnell for the purpose of bringing the beams and girders back to plumb. Mr. Withnell declared the spec ifications for the building did not contain provisions for tests. The specifications will be read to the Jury today by Mr. Collins when he goes on the stand. G. E. Row, a structural engineer In the employ of the Pnxton & Vierllng Iron works, was called to the stand, he hav ing been subpoenaed by the coroner. Mr. Row's testimony was largely of a technical nature and but dimly intelligible to the lay mind. He was closely questioned by the building men and lawyars. Mr. Row and Superintendent Gardner of the flre prooflng at the Hayden building had a little tilt over some technical points in physios. Simmered down, Mr. Row's testi mony resolved Itself Into this: "If I was constructing the bulding In question I would place seven tie-rods where one now exists. I think the con struction of the building all right, except as to the tie-rod proposition. 1 argue there should be as many tie-rods In the interior of the building as at. the ends." Stirs Ip Controversy. The sub-contractors explained twenty lie-rods had been placed under the "bays" at either end of the building, which state ment precipitated quite a discussion aa to ths strength of tle-roda and such technical terms aa "lateral strain," etc. Jamea Drandon, the hoisting engineer at the Hayden building who quit his job Thursday morning, was placed on the stand and testified regarding several acci dents of a minor nature which occurred previous to the fatal accident of last Mon day. It developed from Mr. Drandon s testimony, and also that of Guy E. Steb blns, one of the laborers, who followed Mr. Drandon on the stand, that October 28 part of an arch gave way and let four men through from the second to the first floor. At that time Mr. Stebbins was slightly injured. It was not brought out just what caused this sccldent. It was also brought out that a tie-rod broke about two weeks ago, this case being a defective thread and of but slight Importance. These little accidents were brought into the spot light by Building Inspector Withnell and made the most of. One of the lawyers present took occasion to remark that Mr. Withnell was appearing in the role of prosecutor at the inquest, either intention ally or otherwise. William Ilaydea oa Stand. Mr. William Hayden had Just taken the stand when it was suggested than an adjournment be taken until 9 o'clock this morning. In his few remarks Mr. Hayden said. "We believe Mr. Withnell hostile to us, not only in this matter but in other mat ters. I am anxious the facts of this case be fully brought out. No one la more In terested In it than I am." The principal witnesses today will be Wil liam Hayden, Superintendent Collins of the flre-prooflng and Building Inspector With nell. Quite an array of legal talent Is present at the Inquest and taking a lively interest in the questioning of the witnesses. Three stenographic reporters are taking down every word spoken. It is possible the examination may be concluded today and the case given to the Jury. Saturday Meat Specials Spring Chickens .... Pork Loins Choice Pork Roast Boiling Beef Choice Rib Roast .. S C.
