FOR GRAIN EXCHANGE ALONE Members Oppose Consolidation of Traffic Interests with Jobbers. GRAIN TRAFFIC TO BE INDEPENDENT pat of Sentiment Brought About by - n 8uaa-etlon Offered In Favor of Resolution nt m Called Meeting. The first clash In the Grain exchange on the subject of Secretary Merchant's suc cessor came yesterday. Another Is slated for .Friday, . . ,.. .. . The. WsnUlv yesterday resulted iu brlng ing out opposition to the proponed com bination! of the interests of .the exchange and the Commercial club, as far as trans portation matters are concerned, and of making R J.- McVann traffic commissioner of the exchange as he Is of the club. Resolu tion favoring such fiction met with strong opposition, and were finally given into tho keeping of an amentliyent committee. J. H. Hamilton, chairman of the grain corpmlttee, curly. .In the morning, called a meeting for S o'clock at tho Commercial club rooms, asking the attendance of the grain committee and the generul member ship of the exchange. About twenty men responded. , Nathan Merriam presented a set of reso lutions providing for the proposed combina tion of Interests, and a motion win passed to take up the resolutions by sections. Tho (discussion proceeded no further thitn the tirst section, for by the time that had been before the meeting a half hour, It had become evident that the majority were In opposition to the movement and the friends of the resolutions were willing to drop the matter for tha time 4etng. At one juncture thare was a motion to table the resolutions, tut it was withdrawn and a decision made to., leave them with a committee for re vision. Friday, at 3 o'clock, the subject will be resumed. t Opposition to Consolidation. -No one spoke for the resolution with the exception of Mr. Merriam. It was opposed by J. B. Von porn, A. B. Jacqulth, Floyd Campbell. E. P. I'eck. James Walsh, W. B. Dexter and. E. O. Twamley. Several mem bers remained silent trough the session. Mr. .Von Dorn, said he was not In favor of cutting down the expenses of the ex change to the detriment of Its Interests, which would result unless the secretary or commissioner ..gave Ids whole lime to the business. Me added that the grain trade presented different problems from those or dinarily handled by' the commissioner of the Commercial club. A. B. Jucfiulth and Juntos Walsh said the exchange was per fectly capable of standing alone and ought by all means to maintain its separate Identity. 'We "Aunt a good, capable, experienced traffic man and. we can pay him a good salary," said K. P. reck.' "I believe In i he Commercial club, and I believe In hav- ) the. club help us .just as it would as-J - '.-u in joDuers, out. i ao not believe In taking the exchange the tail-end of the o.;.. We have been successful and are irtiHprrous now, We have a perfect right to ask the Commercial club for help on any occasion without pasting any resolu tions, and, more than that, the club has Invited us time and 'again to let it he Known when we want -o-operatlon.

If Allen Bros, or Paxton & Gallagher want to have rates adjusted on groceries, they don't have n grain man talk to the railroads. Why should we have the Jobbej-s on our transportation commit tee?" The present transportation committee consists of F. P. Klrkerdall. E. E. Bruce, Nathan Merriam, W. J. C. Kenyon and N. B. Updike. Talk thus came about on the transporta tion committee of l'.MH and one man said he did not think it the proper thing to have had two railroad men In that body, since at times the exchange had to fight the railroads. The annual report for I!i3 shows that the members of the transporta tion committee are E. P. Klrkendall, F. A. Nash, F. D, Parkhurst, W. J. C. Kenyon nnd John C.' Wharton. "The matter has already been decided. as far as the Commercial club s con cerned," said one of the men who was at the meeting, afterward. "Although I do not believe It has been put up to the ex ecutive committee, the combination hns been agreed upon by the men who control things In that body. I believe that most of the members of the exchange who favor such action as jhe resolution suggest, as members also of the Commercial club. They want the exchange to pay half the salary of their commissioner. I understand that the proposition was being held back to pay Mr. McVann $150 a month from the Grain .Exchange tr.-asury, and was only to ho broached after the passage of the f)rstset of resolutions. The movement will never be successful." Hesolutlo&a ot Serloasly Intended. It was suggested by a man who did not attend tne meeting that the resolutions were never meant to be passed, but were Introduced to bring out as much comment as possible unfavorable to the proposition. In order to influence the board of direc tors against making the combination. The resolutions are: Whereas. There exists In ritv.nl. r-m merclal club of nearly l.Oul members, made ' representing an me Important commercial Interests of the city: and. Whereas, This Commercial club was or- KMi''u 10 encourage, to roster and sd vance in every way possible all kinds of good business enterprises on the uv tn success, and prosperity, and especially to -.. Km 11 iiMiueiries against unjust and unreasonable freight rates: and, Whereas. Said Commercial club has In Its employ a traffic commissioner whose spe- ' iiuun are 10 iook arter such matters: aiul. Whereas. The Omaha Grain Exchange la one of Omaha s most important industries a una in me cnain or its commercial activ itiesan important spoke in its wheel of commerce a component, or Integra) part of that which makes up a prosperous western cny; ana. Whereas, A majority of the members of the said Grain Exchange are also members of the Commercial club; and. Whereas, The success of a grain exchange at Omaha Is very largely dependent on the enjiyment of equalised freight rates, as coi lpared with other market centers; and, Whereas, In Itself It may not be able to 'ring about such rates from various sta tions throughout our own state and other tributary states, on account of lacking the necessary force, which force or Influence might be supplied by the Commercial club; therefore It a Resolved. By the grain committee and the active members of the Omaha Grain ex change, assembled In Joint session, as fol lows: First That the Imporlan! freight matters of the exchange be handled by the traffic commissioner of the Commercial club. Or, In other words, that the Grain exchange should be put on the same footing as Hie jobbing Interests, or other commercial In terests of the city. Second That a bureau of transportation be created from the active members of the Grain exchange, to be composed of five members, as follows: One representative of a line levator company, two reprsaenta tives of strictly terminal elevators and one, either brokers or receivers, who shall have no Interest in any country elevators. Through this bureau all freight matters shall imss to the traffic comiulsaioneiv Third That the inspection and weighing department be separated from the secre tary a office and made a distlru t depart nient, which will attend to all its clerical work. At present time, and possibly whan buainess is double what it la now, tha pres ent force appears to be competent and sufil cent. Fuurth That a secretary be employed at a salary ranging from to $150 per month, according to ability, whose duties will be those that nalurully fall to a secretary, according to tha by-laws of tha exchange, and in addition thereto, aaalal as far a possible and advlseabla in freight matters. Fifth be it further reaolved, that It is the aenae of this meeting that the territory In which the Omaha grain dealera may operate, inuat be largely increased, since the handling capacity of the elevators at Omaha and Council Bluffs haa burn In creased tenfold or more and that, too, at the earliest possible date.

MICKEY FAVORS HOME RULE Announces He Will Recommend Chance in Omaha and South Omaha Charters. NAMING POLICE BOARDS A THANKLESS TASK Rnmor Pollard Fitom Primary In the First tenareeeloaal District Has Stirred lp the Politicians. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 27. (8pecial.) "I shall recommend to the next legislature the re peal of that part of the Omaha charter which provides the governor shall appoint the Board of Fire and Police Commission ers for Omaha." This Is the way Governor Mickey ex pressed himself Just before appointing J. W. Thomas to be again a member of tne police board. The fact that the governor has to ap point this board is an acknowledgement of the people of Omaha that they cannot govern themselves," continued the execu tive. "The governor has to appoint men on the recommendation of others and he never knows whether he is getting good men or not. v "There are so many factions in Omaha that the Job of naming a Board of Fire and Police Commissioners Is one of the most disagreeable that conies to a gov ernor. The same thing applis to South Omaha. There is a town that'eannot gov ern itself and the citizens come down to the legislature to get a hill passed to force the governor to take the responsi bility of naming the board of rolice com missioners. "I have come to the conclusion the proper thing to do Is to recommend to the legislature home rule for Omaha and South Omaha so as to save my successor the trouble and the trials I have had with these two towns naming police boards. The governor should not have to interfere with these local affairs at alt." Objections to a Primary. The report that Mr. Pollard's congres sional committee lnte.ided to call a pri mary to select a nominee rather than the old-time convention has caused several Indications of bucking all along the line. Lancaster politicians don't want the pri mary and some of the candidates before the convention which nominated Pollard are Inclined to go straight up when the matter Is discussed. One of them said: "The counties composing the district will not submit to a primary. The congres sional committee can do what It pleases In the way of recommending a primary, but it has no power to compel a county committee to submit to It. The convention Is recognized In law and the primary Is not. If the committee does recommend or order a primary you can put It down that the outside counties will not stand for It at all." Congressman Pollard reached Lincoln this afternoon and was met here by Treasurer ClarD of the congressional committee. I have Just got hero. saiu air. ioi- lard. "and have not looked oyer tne suu atlon. I don't know what the people think of the primary and I do not know what the committee will do. However, 1 look for very little opposition In my candidacy for renomlnatlon." After a conference with Congressman Pollard. Chairman Teigarden 'tonight an nounced the congressional committee would meet at Lincoln on the evening of April 6, the day following the meeting of the state committee. .

By finding a member of the home guilty of being drunk and giving liquor to other members, submitting his decision to the members of the home for endorsement, then filing with the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings, the supreme power in the case, a record of the proceedings, which resulted In Andrew Gulnan being discharged from the home. Commandant Piesson of the Mllford Soldier's Home has established a precedent. The records tiled with the State board Included the formal discharge of the old soldier, and Commander Presson's letter of explanation follows: Upon the assertion of Mr. Gulnan that my action would not be sustained by the members of the home If submitted to them. I submitted to the members of the homa who were present when I gave Mr. Gulnan v,i. horim. the ouestlon. by ballot W'tll i.oilots tirinled "Approved" and 'No." and had Mr. Trlloff, Mr. Guinan's right hand nn of the tellers, and the result was 44 votes sustaining my action and IS voles not sustaining my action. I allowed Mr. Gulnan to vote. 1 trust you will ap prove of my action. I submitted the matter to a vote from the fact that 1 wished to give him eve.-y possible opportunity to defend himself. I did not know the minds of the comrades and no one had expressed his mind oithov way In the matter, and In order to satisfy him as to the sentiment of the home I submitted the question, and am graitrW to learn mai BO ihisq n. nitijumy Jk mi memliers are In favor of good government in the home. Of those voting in the nega tive I am satisfied that a majority of them would have favored a limited at rence from the home. The action of giving liquor to members of the home.
