LINCOLN LP AGAINST BLOCK City Temporarily Enjoined from Enforoine Ordinance for Dollar Gas. FDERAL CCURT ISSUES THE ORDER i Corporation, In ( Petition, Acriwi City Council of Ht-lntc Influenced by Aitllntlou of Certain Xrmiiiperi, the gss company has already been exeess Ively taxed, that the city, council has fixed the Ftundnrds of meters to be used, which will necessitate the removal of the present meters used by the gas consumers of the city, "thereby involving the company In another ruinous expense;" that "all of these arbitrary actions on the part of the city council and officials of the city of Lincoln are designed to Impair the credit of the gas company." and that to reduce the price of gas to l per 1,000 cubic feet brings It below the cost of production. Hullcck F. Ruse, attorney for the Lincoln Gas and Electric Light company, secured a lcstraining order In the I'nlted States cir cuit ouri Thursday afternoon agaiiut the city of Lincoln, Francis W. Brown, mayor, and LUmund C. Strode, city attorney, to prevent them from enforcing Ordinance No. 43 passed November 1!), 1906, reducing the price of gas In the city of Lincoln from Jl.dO to $1 per 1.0W cubic feet, and one lmpoe ng an occupation tax. The restraining order was Issued and the hearing Is set for January 21. Mr. Rose was In a big hurry to get the restraining order issued, as the ordinance becomes effective January 1, as does an other ordinance passed December 10, 1m jo.itis an occupation tax upon the gas company of Lincoln of 2' per cent upon the grins monthly receipts of the company und aflixing a jienalty of an additional 1 lr cent If net paid by the 15th of each month. In default of payment of this occu pation tax after six months the penalty is ! per cent. The petition makes the usual allegations that both ordinances are unreasonable nnd unfair nod will Involve the gas company In rcrious financial loss If they are enforced. It lo also ulleged that the ordinance reduc ing tiie price of gas to SI was wholly arbi trary anil Is unconstitutional, and that it win only passed In pursuance to popular clamor and newspaper agitation, referring particularly lo c rtaln newspapers as the principal agitators, which published "false, malicious und defamatory statements thit so Inlluenced the electors and their servants, the city council, that tho Injurious ordi nances were passed." The petition goes on further to state that Annoanrritifnti of the Theaters. In "The Ham Tree" Messrs. Mclntyre & Heath have been surrounded by an or ganlzat'on as good as New York could furnish. Messrs. Klaw & ETlanger put the show on the stage and organized the com pany with an eye only to securing the very best. As a result they claim to have not only the youngest, but the best sing ing and dancing chorus ever put together. Only three negro characters are presented, two of these Messrs. Mclntyre and Heath and the other by Belle Golden. These three are a whole show in themselves. "The Ham Tree" comes to the Boyu this even ing for an engagement of two nights and a matinee on Saturday. On Sunday evening the Llebler company, that is presenting "The Bishop's Carriage" through the west, begins its engagement at the Boyd. The play Is based on the well-known story, and Is a great success. Miss JesBle Busley Is playing Nance Olden and has been much praised by the San Francisco and other coast papers for her work. The engagement Includes Monday I and Tuesday evenings, with a special mat inee on New Year's afternoon. The closing performances of "Madame Sans Gene" at the Burwood are drawing even better crowds than did the opening,' and this means a full house each time. The bill continues till after Saturday night. Oji Sunday ufternoou. "Pretty Peggy," a tine comedy, will go on for the new week.

READ the announcements in The Bee Mondays, Thursdays and Sun days of the I ilv I! EL PASO, Tex., Dec. 27. The Southern Pacific officials here today declared the firemen's strike was virtually broken. All trains are arriving practically on time and freight is being accepted as usual. The firemen, through Joseph Bedford, griev ance chairman of this district, declareJ that they can and will tie up the Harrlmau and connecting systems completely. He said: "We have assurances of support from tho Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, the Order of Railway Conductors and the Order of Railway Telegraphers. "These orders are In full sympathy with the firemen. Beyond the fact that we leav their sense of Justice to guide the engineers' action, we have nothing to say about then.. We deny the statement that this is a fight between tho Brotherhood of Railway Fire men and the Brotherhood of Railway En gineers. It is purely a fight between the lirotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and 1 k. . .allnil imr.unv Thft ffMlilroad IS uio ininvJtv Lviiiji.tij . . . . - handling practically no freight." Grand Master Talks, PEORIA. Dec. 27. -John llanrahan, grand I master ol the uromernoou ot lujuiuu . Firemen, was shown the Associated press dispatch from El Paso, Tex., relating to thi. j olhtlals of the Southern Poctric, who hau declared that the strike had been broken. I He aula: "There is not one iota of truth in that statement and besides our basis of operation Is at Houston. I must await furtlnr d -velopmetns before making kny further statement on this point." Mr. llanrahan is nonconimital on tho spread or the strike to the Harriman lines, but It is reliably stated that general ordurs have been sent to chairman of districts n those lines, to prepare for the final di rection of auc'ii mov-emetit. CRAWFORD IMIKFEHS THE F1K1.D Wahoo 8am Does Not Want to First Base. Now the talk Is that Snm Crawford will not play first base for Detroit after all. Ha made such a great record on that bag lest, year leading the league that it Was taken for granted Detroit Would bring him In from right Held and stick him on first for good. And then when Detroit bought R ssmun of Cleveland this belief becamo all the more emphatic. Sam is wintering in Omaha and he says he does not want to mnkc the change. "1 would rather stay out In the field." says Sum. "I don't want any first base for mine. On first a man is worried by loo many dead ones, lie gets a bum throw at him and if he falls to corral the ball he is roasted. Every miss is charged up. to him and the result is he comes In at the end of the inning feeling discouraged and Sure In such a state of mind he Is unable to do his best at the bat. He Is rattled. Out In the field he has mi such annoyances. Hi !s free. If he misses a fly or messes un a grounder or makes a bad throw he has onlv himself to blame. But he won't iri half as many chances to go wrong as on first. He generally comes In from the field feeling all tight so far as himself is con cerned and is prepared to do his best at tlie bat. No, lor my part, i u stay where I am." Rumor has It that Hlnchman has bean swapped off by Cleveland, leaving Perrlng the only utility man now on the list. If this nroves true-and l.nlole ones not recoui his utility reserve. Perrlng Is likely to be a busy boy. He probably would p'ay In nearly every game with such a bunch of had luck men as Cleveland. Perrlngs f-lends are waiting for him to mHke rood. There Is little doubt here In the west, wh"re he has Dlaved such good ball that he will come to taw In the big league and remain there without any back-sliding, uinugn he had an unfortunate drcp In his batting near the close of Inst season, with coach ing he ought to make a regular SUO-hltter. The depression which overcome Omaha and some other Western league teams last year was enough to cause slumps to anybody. All the National league clubs are looking for left-hand "spit-ball" pitchers, with the hope of beating out tne e nicago i uos next season, as it was Altrock, a left-hander, and Walsh, a "spit-ball" artist, who threw the hooks Into the "Spuds" lust fall for the big honors. A ten-round boxing bout has been ar ranged for Friday evening at Osthoff's hall between Monk Ttummer of Omaha and Jack Dunleavy of Boston and St. Louis. These lads are of the wealter-welght class anil are both speedy with the feet and dukes. Considerable interest has been worked up In the match because of Its being the first ten-round bout boxed in Omaha for some time. A corking six round preliminary has also been arrunged to preceed the main event. STATISTICS OF ACCIDENTS Effort to Be Mads to Socure Accurate Data of Persons Affected.

Important steps are soon to be taken In this city and else where to establish a syst m of compulsory and accurate records of the enornvAis num ber of persons who are annually killed and Injured In America's vast army of indus trial workers. In New Yolk City alone the meager records obtainable are startling. In 1901 there were 4.12 persons killed in New York City through aceh!fcnt and negli gence, as shown by the rejxirts of the department of health, and Ihet-e reports are said to be incomplete. For two weeks, beginning on January 2S. nn exposition will be held In the American Museum of Natural History In this city, under the auspices of the American Insti tute of Soclnl Service, for the purpose of studying and exhibiting safety devices for dangerous machinery, methods of Industrial hygiene and to set In motion the movement to establish a more accurate record of In dustrial fatalities und accidents In all parts of the country. At present Wisconsin 1 said to be the only state In the union where nny effort Is made of official compilation of thebe statistics. Prominent People Intercnted. Ir Europe there are slveral permanent museums of this, character, where experts are constantly studying how to safeguard Industrial employes, snd as a result the percentage of death and injury from acci dents has been greatly reduced. Former Preside! t drover Cleveland und many other prominent and lnlliienti.il eitlzetis are Interested In this new movement. Dr. Joshua Ptromr, president of the Amer ican Institute of So. I ll Service, In speaking of the number of poisons ldl' d each year .In our Industrial occupations, made some astonishing comnirisons. lie said: We In the t inted Slates kill ill four vcars some i.mho persons more than fell in buttle mill died of wounds during th' four years of the civil war.
