TIIE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1906. V I OMAHA IN. TOUCH WITH CULF '.i fit u Direct Outlet b; onthern Exteoiion. NG'NCtRS NOW MAKING SURVEYS Short Lla from Omaha, to l.lneala, to Topeka' and The a to Dea. alaoa, Tesae, oa to the floathera lira. Surveyor! are In the fleld for the new line which' the Union Pacific la to build from Topeka, Kan., to .Dennlson, Tex., to jive Nebraaka a new outlet to the gulf for Ha grain product. ' This new Una la aroualng great interest railroad circle, as It will form a great connecting link for the Harrlman ayitem. Harrlmaa now owna the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific from Omaha to San Fraii claco, haa line from Ban Francisco aouth to southern California and Unea from thera to New Orleana. The line Whlrh la mlialnr t n rntnnkf, tha r-ai t ati.la la one from Omaha to New Orleans, and thla will be supplied by the work which ! practically now under way. A short line ia being built from Omaha to Lincoln and the line from Lincoln to Topeka short ened, giving the Union Pacific a splendlJ line from Omaha to Kansaa City runrflng through the capitals of both Kansas and Nebraaka. . The new line will run from Topeka to 'Dennlson, Where It will connect with the Houston A Texas Central railroad, which runs from Qelveston to Houston to Den nlson, and thus make a comolete chain .round the loop for Mr, Harrlman and give Omaha an outlet to the seaboard. The Houston A Texas Central belongs to the Southern Pacific and Is therefore a Harrlman Una. Ilarrtman and Fish. Harrlman has been lighting for some time with President Fish of the IlllnoH Central for control of that line which would give Harrlman a line from Omaha to Chicago and then to the gulf. Instead of the line to the gulf as the new propo- j alHiM .nnt.mnlala, - Tt la arvn nut aa a . .. ...... - J fact that all differencee between Fish and Harrlman have been aettled and there will be no strife for the' control of the Illinois Central at the coming election In October. Fish has won out In the present fight and claims to have the upper hand. Had the Union Paclflo gained control of the Illinois Central conditions In the west would have been entirely upset, for Har rlman would have been In a position to have broke! his traffic agreements which now exist between Omaha and Chicago, and this would have forced the Milwaukee. Burlington, Northwestern and Great West ern to have Immediately worked out some other outlet to the Pacific slope. As the matter now stands the Union Pacific haa a working agreement with the Milwaukee and Northwestern on business between Omaha and Chicago, and these roads In turn give an Immense amount of business to the Union Pacific. Importance to Omaha. The value of a direct outlet to the gulf cannot be overestimated, especially If It Is owned and controlled by n road whose and more grain each year Is moving to the gulf ports, tor the distance Is but 8no similes and grain can be taken to naivcston and then to Europe almost as cheap as It can to New York and Poltlmore from Omaha by rail. Omaha la thought to have made a great mistake when the Kansas City Southern proposition got away from It, and now Mr. HarrlmaA is going to rectify this by a line of his own. J. J. Hill once said: "You can start a barrel -ct flour, at Minneapolis, and It will .roll to. -the gulf," and the same proposition applies from Omaha to the gulf by the new line. With the completion of the Panama canal the southern ports of the United States will Increase In Importance and Mr. Harrlman wants to be on the ground floor with a line Into the Interior of this country to handle the stuff which will be unloaded from the boats at the southern ports. , Off net to Hill's Actloa. This move on the part of Harrlman also will offset the action of Hill In building a line from Ashland to Sioux City by . which to get the grain of Nebraska to move by Duluth and from there on Hill's ran to. get all kinds of business to move north, at present hauling most of the cot ton to the orient via hla Qreat Northern line to Ma boats at 8eattle. Br the new , line Harrlman will tap the cotton country and get to haul some of this over the Union Pacific to the Harrlman boats at Ban Francisco. The lino to Joplln also will open to the Harrlman lines the fine mineral country around Joplln, where some of the largest sine and lead mines of the country are located Stlekaer as aa Aathorlty. The testimony of Mr. Stlckney given Monday before the State Railroad and Warehouse commission at St. Paul Is looked upon as moat expert by the railroad men of Omaha. "When Mr. Stlckney says the present manipulation of tariffs Is but a substitute for rebates, he knows what he Is talking about," said one railroad official at the ( Henahaw Tuesday noon. "No one knows batter than Mr. Stlckney how things hare been done, for Mr. Stlckney started the Ki i ail ran whan ha marie a 7-n anntaa with the packing houses in order to get a good per cent of their business and then juggled the tariff to suit the occasion.

"The chsnoe for this manipulation will be gone under the new law, for thirty days' notice must be given of a change of rate and the rate must be left In for six month. I think the Interstate Commerce commission will modify the law In the matter of posting the unintelligible tariffs In the statlnne and permit the railroads to post a notice saying the rates are on file with the agent and open to the public and making a penalty for any neglect tn give the best rates when asked by a shipper." hops Offlre Bnllala. The new office building In the Union Pa cific shops yard Is practically completed and ready for occupancy. The mechanical engineers department moved into the build ing Monday, and Superintendent McKeen had his office force moved over Tuesday. The force of the assistant superintendent of motive power will move In Wednesday. This Is one of the moat complete office buildings In every detail In the country with reading rooms, baths, lounging rooms and every modern convenience and was built on plans prepared under the direct supervision of Mr. McKeen. Bart Sella Expert Advice. Horace O. Burt, former president of the Union Pacific, has opened an office In Chi cago where he has established himself as consulting engineer for any railroad presi dent who may want aome advice along the lines In which Mr. Burt has no superior. The work at New Orleans for President Lores was but one of the Jobs he has under taken of late. The entrance to New Or leans was a most serious problem and Mr. Burt was called in to decide how It could best be done. He haa also done some ex pert work for Mr. Hill on the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern roads. Waltemeyer Son Magraate. T. 8. Waltemeyer, formerly assistant sec retary of the Young Men's Christian asso ciation In Omaha, Is In the city for a few days consulting with his co-partners In the mining and lumber schemes which he is conducting In Colorado. Mr. Waltemeyer Is president of the Colorado Consolidated Lumber company, which is situated near the Mnffatt line. He aays he haa his saw mill tn working order and will be ready to ship aa soon as his railroad Is completed and for which he has just bought the rails. The road is called the Rocky Mountain Railroad company and Mr. Waltemeyer la president. Many local capitalists are In terested with Mr. Waltemeyer tn hla un dertakings. Railway Notes and Personals.

The Fountain of Youth sparkled and splaahed Monday night at Ak-Sar-Ben and many there were who frank of the re juvenating elixir, listened to the words of wisdom and wit offered by the speakers and partook of the edibles and drinkables furnished by the royal stewards In the royal caravansary. A number of excur sionists came in over the Wabash, Illinois Central and Milwaukee roads snd helped o swell the throng. Next Monday evening will be "Northwestern night." Doo Breed III make a tour over the Northwestern line this week and boost up next Monday's Initiation and the fall festivities There will be five more initiations at the den and then will come the big show, the psrades and carnival. Names of horsemen and floatmen were received last evening by J. D. Weaver and things are going along merrily for the annual pageant and the en trance of the king. Ehrenpfort Mot Present. The only untoward Incident of the season at the den occurred last evening n-hen, about l:U o'clock, word was received by special messenger that Sir Henry Ehrenp fort would not attend to take hla usual part in the Initiation. At firsts the board of governors and others In command were thrown Into confusion, but the situation was relieved when some one volunteered to sacrifice himself and save the day. Last evening was the first time Mr. Ehrenpfort missed sn Initiation for ten years. As a rule he Is sitting on the steps waiting for the Janitor to open up. William Kennedy acted as grand rauftl for W. R. Bennett and called on A. B. Petlcolas of Victoria. Tex., County Attor ney Blabaugh, E. C. Page, Edward F. Trefs. M. A. Hall and Ralph W. Bracken ridge for short talks. Mr. Trefs declared that Omaha Is not only a gateway, but a great location, where the cltlxens are Inviting men and women of the earth to Join In building up a great community. He urged everyone to love and believe In Omaha. Mr. Hall, British vice consul, said a prominent St. Paul cltlaen recently told him Omaha was one of the best cities west of Chicago at the present time for Invest ments. Tribute to Pioneers. Mr. Page paid a word of tribute to the men who broke ground, here In the early days and showed the courage of their con victions and who saw beyond .their day. Mr. Petlcolas waa enthusiastic over the Lone Star atate, where he has lived forty years. He said Nebraska and Texaa were the best ever. County Attorney Slabaugh spoke of the city beautiful and urged a general olvlo pride' among the citizens. He hoped every one would try to make Omaha a good place in which to work, live and die. Ralph Breckenridge spoke of Nebraska as occupying a first place tn the sister hood of states and commended to hla hear ers the Idea of boosting and constructing. The total paid membership Is 792. Edward 8. Thompson offered several hu morous recitations last evening. SCHOOLS 0PENCN TUESDAY Term Begins After Labor Day, with Estimated Increase to All Attondaaces. The public schools will open Tuesday, September 4, Monday being Labor day. Superintendent Davidson estimates an In crease of at least 100 pupils at the high school and an enrollment as great. If not greater, than last year. The high school had 1,748 students enrolled last year, but the additional attendance Is so certain that the Board of Education Is making arrange ments for Installing sixty more lockers, with accommodations for three pupils each. General meetings for organisation of the principals and teachers will be held Mon day morning preceding the opening of school. The superintendent haa not yet decided upon the two schools that are to be equipped with manual training facilities In addition to the Cass and Paclflo schools. For the first time In this department the Inatructora are to come from Omaha, and will be chosen from among the forty young women who have been taking the manual training course at Cass school during the summer. The wages paid will conform with the general wage scale and higher sal aries will not be paid to manual training teachers than to Inatructora In other grade departments. 97.8ft to Minneapolis and Retara Via Chicago Great Western Railway.

LOW RATES BRING TRADE Reduced Sehednles on Railroads Draw Large Samber of Coaatry Mer chaats to Omaha. Country merchanta are taklnr idinni of the low rates made by the railroads for the fall merchanta' meeting in Omaha and are making a lively house trade for local Jobbers this week. The ralea went Into effect last Saturday, but as It was the last day of the week no retailers came until Monday, when several arrived. Tuesday the Joint agent for the railroads, Mr. Merritt. whose signature Is needed by the merchants before they can get their tickets home at the reduced rate, re ceived numeroua calls. Mr. Merritt says the number of arrivals Is somewhat larger than usual at thla early date, the retailers seeming to act more than ever before on the Idea that the first to the market gets the pick of the goods. The rates will be In effect the greater part of the time between now and the middle of September and there will be merchants tn every day from Nebraska and other terrl tory tributary to Omaha In the trade sense.

There Is considerable Informal talk among club women of asking the coming annual convention of the Nebraaka Fed eration of Women's clubs to Indorse a pure food bill to be brought before the next state legislature. The Nebraska law pertaining to food adulterations deals only with milk snd vinegar products and the women feel that In view of the recent ac tion of congress regarding food adulter ation they may profitably ask for an ade quate state law. e While rejoicing with Georgia In Its child labor law, all those Interested In the protection of children must regret the decision of the New York court that Its state law prohibiting women and chil dren from working more than ten hours a day or sixty hours a week Is unconsti tutional. This decision Is based upon an opinion that the law Is an "unwarranted Invasion of constitutional rights" and is "class legislation." It ia regrettable that such regard for the Interests of women and children cannot be securel along lines that bring them actual protection. The reception by the queen of Denmor of the delegates to the International Wo man Suffrage conference at Copenhagen last week is In striking contrast to the treatment women received less than forty years ago when they gathered In the In terest of their "rights." It is a signifi cant fact thst wherever women gather nowadays and whatever happens to be the object of their coming together, they are given a respectful hearing. It Is the over coming of prejudice to this extent that encourages women in their struggle for equal political rights with men. The Nebraska Woman Suffrage associ ation has opened headquarters at the Ep worth assembly at Lincoln and Is conduc ing dally sessions. Mrs. Amanda J. Mar ble, president of the oragnlzatlon, 1s tn charge and a number of prominent speak ers have assisted In the work of extension. Mrs. Roosevelt has added her protest to tha't of Queen Alexandra of England against the use of the aigrette and will lend her Influence to abolish a demanl and a atyle than can be gratified only at the expense of cruelest torture and death of the bird from which this bit of plumage Is obtained. Under date of July 18, Presi dent Roosevelt wrote the following noto to the president of the Audubon society: Mv Dear Mr. Dirtcher: Permit me orr behalf of both Mrs. Roosevelt and my self to say how heartily we sympathise not only with the work of the Audubon Society generally, but particularly In their effort to stop the sale and use of the so called "aigrette," the plumes of the white herons. If anything. Mrs. Roosevelt lecU even more strongly than I do in this matter. Last March Queen Alexandra declared herself in like manner against the use of the aigrette, which she not only refusal to wear herself, but urges other women not to use. Now that women are coming to know the awful cruelty that alone enn secure this beautiful bit of finery for thf?.r bonnets, there has been less demand for It, snd milliners are protecting themselves and appeasing others by offering for sale what they call an artificial aigrette. The Audubon society has Issued circular stating that through investigation by that society it Is learned that these things are rarely or never artificial, but the real plumage . of the bird, and women are warned to beware. Tbese lntested In this effort to protect the birds may best as sist by Joining the Audubon society. Tho dues are 15 a year and all used in the actual work. .

LOCAL MEN WAGE MORE BITTER FIGHT Commercial Clan aad t.raln K.scbaage, Representing Bnelneas Interests, Lead la Boycott Agalaat Thle Railroad. Stirred by the announcement of the road that It would not only maintain Its discrimination against Omaha in favor of Kansas City, but that it contemplated a further cut in the minimum Kansas City Memphis proportional on Nebraska grain, the commercial interests of Omaha lia taken steps to wage even more bitter war than formerly against that railroad. A joint meeting of the board of directors of the Grain exchange and the executive committee of the Commercial club, to gether with the transportation commit tees of the two bodies, waa held Tuesday noon. After a report on the situation from Commissioner Guild and Secretary McVann, a resolution was passed In structing these two officials to use every effort to keep the public and the shlppeis thoroughly informed .on every detail of the situation as It is and aa it develops. Mr. McVann was instructed to ha.-o printed and distributed among the ship pers copies of a colored map which he haa prepared, naming the grain rates both to Omaha and Kansaa City from every town in the South Platte territory, and showing plainly the discrimination made by the Rock Island against the former. Statement of Conditions. This statement waa submitted as a Joint report by Messrs. McVann and Oulld. In response to the suggestion Of Vice President W. B. Riddle of the Rock Island, Mr. McVann went to Chicago for a con ference with Mr Blddle. at which confer ence Freight Traffic Manager Gower of the Rock Island line and J. A. Mlfldleton, freight traffic manager of the Frisco lines, were both present. This conference devel oped that Mr. Ulddle was thoroughly com mitted to the continuation of the Memphis equalisation plan, and he not only refused to withdraw It, but stated that, owing to the difference In the situation produced by the cutting out of the lW-cent elevation, it mlpht he necessary to make a still furth-r reduction In his minimum proportional from Ksnsis City from 9 cents to l cents. Mr. Riddle justifies his action by the old specious argument about through rates being equal by way of Kansas City and by way of Omaha to Memphis, which sounds so fair on the face of It that it seems unreasonable to contend against It. In order to make clear to the general public the dlsingenuousness of Mr. Riddle's position about through rates It Is neces.-ary that the bsslc principle be understood upon which nil of the rates to and from Omaha are made. The railroads have made the Missouri river an arbitrary line, Kansas City to Omaha, Inclusive. The rates from east of the river have been equalised as nearly as pnsalMe and the rate from the river to the west and from the west to the river have also been equalized. In carrying out this scheme of equalisation Nebraska has always been considered as being Omaha terrltorv and" Kansas as being Kansas City territory. These conditions are hard-and-fast conditions Imposed upon Omsha by the railroads for manv vears. They have been changed only Insofar as Kansas City has been able to encroach upon Omaha's share of the territory, grad. ually, tir.tll now there Is a wide s'me In southern Nebraska, nearer to Omsha than to Kansas City on an average, wherein the rates to and from Kansas Cltv on all classes of business are as good or better than to Omaha. This encroachment has been made so gradually snd so quietly that the extent of it hns never ben fully real ised by Omaha. It was not until Mr. Rid dle's scheme of equalization more than doubled the territory In Nebraska Into which Kansas Cltv was admitted upon equal terms with Omaha that the danger was brought home to the Omaha people and that they felt It necesasry to take th most strenuous measures to protect their lerniory. If Mr. Riddle's plan had been applied to all the territory west of the Missouri river by all the roads. Involving a readjustment of all the Kansas and Nebraska rates, so that In return for the surrender of our territory to Kansas City Omaha would re ceive a fair equivalent In territory that before belonged exclusively to Kansas City, we could have no obejetlop to the plan . ur jnuiii m, nuwrvrr, inai no one nas pro posed to give Omaha any entrance Into Kansas t'lly territory upon any frms what ever, and the upshot of the situation Is that Kansas City retains her exclusive ad vantages In till of Kansas and a large por tion of southern Nebraska and obtains an equal footing with Omaha in practically the entire South Platte country to and In cluding Plattsmouth, Loulivllle, Crete, Au rora, etc. All of this was shown clearly to Mr. Bid die, hut he refused to acknowledge that OmAha had any exclusive right to any ter ritory In which It was possible to put Kan sas City upon an equality with her, distance and feasibility of routes being the only thliiKs he would consider. The position taken by Mr. Middle made it Impossible to consider any peaceful measures. He wss Informed that the business public of Omaha waa an absolute unit In opposition to his Invasion of Omaha's territory and he re plied that, while he regretted that fact, he believed his position waa right and would not recede from It. The lust analysis of the situation amounts to this: That the 'Frisco lines are not sat isfied with the amount of grain business they are doing from Kansas City to Mem phis and the southeast, and. that in order to increaae that business, Mr. Blddle delib erately cut the rate from Kansas City to Memphis on Nebraska corn In ordr to In fluence It to Kansas City so that the 'Frisco lines might be able to secure It In fact, so thorough is this anxiety that Mr. Blddle proposes to make a further re duction In the minimum proportional of 9c, Kansaa City to Memphis. In order to widen the Nebraska territory from which the 'Frisco may steal business. The original cut was S cents per hundred and the sub sequent reduction of U4 cents In the Omaha and Kansaa City rate tn Memphis reduced this difference to l cents Mr. Blddle now proposes to make a T cents minimum as against the normal rate nf cents from Omaha to Memphis, which practically means the maintenance of a 4-cent differen tial against Omaha Instead of 1 cent, Kan saa City to Memphis.
