The controversy between the Pressmen's union and the local Typolhetae, which threalenrd to involve the pressmen In the printers' strike, has been settled, according to Information given outihy officers of the Typotlietae. The pressmen contended I Iih a two of their number dismissed from the shop of the Omaha Printing company should be r munerated for the time lost, because their lack of employment was due to conditions growing out of the prlntin-s" strike. The Omaha Printing company declined to ac cede to the demands. The matter went up to the national bodies of the Typothetac and Pressmen. The former decided to com pensate the nun for the time lost up to the time of settlement, and It Is understood the pressmen agreed. Frank Johnson, presi dent of the Omaha Printing company, says the settlement was made by the Typothelae and not by his firm. Further, that the Typothetae will bear the expense Incurred. "Our firm' declined to do what waa asked of us," said Mr. Johnson. "If the Typothe tae wants to settle. It is all right with us. We have not takn back the men, and do not Intend to." The controversy between the Pressmen's union and the local Typothetae, which threatened, to involve the pressjnen .In. the printers' strike, was up for discussion at the meeting of the local Pressmen's union at Labor Temple last night. C H. Galos kowsky of Kanaas City was eresenl and there were numerous warm debates, but nothing would be given out aa to what was said. . "No definite action was taken at the meeting." said Mr. Galoskowaky after its adjournment. "In a day or two the mat ter wll probably be settled, but there is nothing yet for me to say. I notice by the papers the statement is made by the other side tat the difficulty has been adjusted, but I have nothing to say further than that no settlement has been made." JOHN RYBIN JSB0UND OVER Albright fa loon Keeper Held for Raying; Revolvers from Inlted States Soldier. John Rybin, a saloonkeeper of Albright, was given a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Anderson Thursday morning for tne alleged pur chase of six revolvers from a soldier at Fort Crook early In February. Rybln was bound over to the federal grand Jury in the sum of J500. His defense was that he did not know that revolvers were govern ment property, and that he did not know that it was unlawful to purchase such things from soldiers. The pistols were re covered by the government, having been voluntarily surrendered by Rybln to the chief of police of South Omaha, upon his learning that It was against the law to have them in his possession. Judge Ben S. Baker, Tho.defended Rybin, said during the hearing: "It is not generally known that the pur chase of arms and clothing and other ar ticles, belonging to the. government from soldiers Is a penitentiary offense, and I wish some of the Omaha papers would give this fact publicity In ' order to put people on their guard against Innocently commit ting a penal offense. According to the stat utes, it is also an offense to have govern ment property In one's possession unless the possessor can conclusively show he came by the property legally. "More or less soldiers, or ex-soldiers, are always in or about Omaha or South Omaha, and some of these may be but recently dis charged and . can tell a plausible story about the property they seek to dispose of aa being their, own, and the purchasing party does not always know they are lying about It." ' CASE MAY WAIT TILL FALL 1 e Railroad Tax Halt ftoaaat to Be Ad vanced by Brows and Stanley. M. F. Stanley, county attorney of Hamil ton county, came in yesterday from Washington, where he had accompanied Attorney General Norrta Brown aa the representative of the- county attorneya of the state In connection with the railroad tax cases that have been appealed to the United States supreme court. "The motion to advance the case waa, of course, largely formal, but it la none the less an Important step in the litigation." said Mr. Stanley. "The court has its work laid out for adjournment the. latter part of April, and unlesi we can get the case ad vanced immediately the hearing will go over antil the -fall term. It will be un usual, at. any rate. If the court gives us a chance to argue it .at the present term. "Attorney General Brown came back with me, but stopped off at Des Moines to see his mother, who la living there. While we saw all of the Nebraska delegation at Wathlngton our visits with them were of a purely .social character and we had no chance to talk politics seriously." . . Mr. Stanley left for his home at Aurora during the afternoon. ACTION ON ELECTION BILLS Board Probably Will Dispose at Malms from I .a at Kali at ' JVext Meetlas. Under aa opinion from County Attorney Slabaugh the county commissioners prob ably will,, at their' next meeting, dispose of the election' claims which have "been held up since last fall. The opinion holds the county must pay the clerks at the prl mary election in Omaha and South Omaha ti each. In the city the registrars were paid by the city and In the country pre cincts where there were no registrars the clerks and Judges are to receive (3, or pay for u day and a half at the rate of ti a day, According to an agreement the city pays the expenses of the general election . in Omaha, but the county is held liable for a half of the tC due the officials in South Omaha and muHt pay the officials In the country districts $4.

Jf there sbuuld be a strike, prices will Inevitably be higher In the course of time. The wholesalers would hava to pay more immediately after the beginning of a auike, but I. do not think the price would be ratd to the consumer until late la the spring, at iba eirlwst." ' DEPOT WILL BE: ENLARGED Webster Street Station Hmt Be Mads Sit: Enoueh for Increased Business. NO MORE PASSENGER TRAINS THERE They Will Patronise Inlnn Mellon and Old Depot with Addition Re taed F.xclnsWelj for Freight. Important improvements will be made by the ChicMgo. St. Paul, Minneapolis Omalui road at the Webster street station and work will begin at once, the plans having all Keen prepared. All passenger trains now run Into thnt station will be diverted to the Union Paclttc tracks and run to the Union station and the present station will be turned Into an exclusive freight depot. The present station will be enlarged and extended until It will be 3.1x50 feet of brick for receiving freight, and another new building, also of brick. SooxSil feet will be constructed to used as a forwarding station. These Improvements have been tn con templation fof some time, us the growing needs of the stations demanded something be done at once to accommodate the busi ness. The Omaha road has been using this station, as well a the Missouri Pacific, as a passenger station for some of Its trains, which will be diverted to the Union sta tion. The sum of 140.000 will be expended upon these Improvements, Including the change in trackage which will bo necessary. The Burlington was recently forced to make separate departments for receiving and for warding freight, and this chantte was neces sitated by the largely Increasing volume of buainess which Is going In and out from Omaha. The division offices of the Omaha load will not be moved. ' SPORTS OF A DAY. BVESTS OS THF, RIM(i TRACKS Poor Farorltea Win at ev Orleans Fair Gronnds. NEW ORLEANS.

Inspector Wlthnell has ex amined tho building 'and will recommend Its destruction, despite' advice from the legal department that he should keep his hands off. ROAD RACE FOR THE AUTOS Contest Proposed by Manager Glllan of the Andltorlam as Big Drawing Card. A Minager Glllsn of the Auditorium sug gests a road race as a big drawing card for one afternoon of the automobile show. He thinks a race of ten miles Into the country and back by three or four ma chines would bring out a large crowd. If the permisslson of the city authorltlea could be secured, Leavenworth street could be policed to keep it clear of pedestrians and other vehicles for a short time and the autoa could be given an open road. People who have autoa would undoubtedly go to Center street, west of Hanscom park, to see the machines work when let out to their full speed. Mr.' Glllan will mention his Idea to the dealers Interested. He thinks It would stimulate Interest In the show and bring many people to the Auditorium.
