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.

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

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.

More Killed Quadrennially In 1 nlted
States la Industrial Life
Than Were Killed In
Civil War.
NI5W YORK. Dec. 27. 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
