TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 6, 1907. in CONTEST FOR MAIL CONTRACT &ilroidi io After This LvoratiT Job tat tha OoTtnmtBt Turlington expects to win again After Tireitr Tears at l'Bletmrbe Service Hill Officiate Bdlm Ther Will Reetere ' the Frlae. For tha contract to carry Uncle Bam'a mall from Oman to Chicago and from Chicago to Omaha tha rallroada are agaiu bout to engage In a many war. For tha lost twenty years the Burlington baa been recognised aa tha mall carrying road Xor the government and baa been able to bold the contract against all oonteetanta. To hold this contract tha Burlington now runs four ezclualva mail trains between Omaha and Chicago each day, twe eacb ay, and these carry tha bulk of tha transcontinental mail. Other roads bare looked with envious eyes on this business, which carries with it prestige and revenue, Fast trains have been put on the North western and Rock Island la former yAra to try for the contrast, but ail to no avail, or tha Burlington still oontlnuee as toe toad for the transcontinental mail. The time is again appreaobJng for new contracts ta be made and the ojiisr roads have again entered the field. Tha Reck Island sometime ago put an a new ezclualva mail train, whloh left Chicago earlier than the Burlington and saved an heur's time by picking up tha mall from several eastern connections at Englewoed, a amall con fieotlng point In the outskirts af Chicago. TTils saved the time of carrying the mall Into Chloasro and back again ta Englewood, and also the time lost In carrying tha mall across Chicago In wagons, whloh also took considerable time. W ith this great saving the Rock Island officials figured they bad a chance at tha coveted contract. Effort of Northwestern. Tha Northwestern - also has soma fast trains on Its double track read and a new time card la out, effective Sunday, stating that No. 10 would leave Omaha each even' tng at 5:56, Instead of at 1:28, aa formerly. This la taksn as an Indication that the Northwestern Is after tha big bunch of tnall to tha east which leaves Omaha at that time. The Burlington haa been get ting that mall an Its exclusive fast mall train which leave Council Bluffs at ( p. rn. A change baa been made by tha Union facing by which that read now brings In most of tbe mall from tha west on No. 10. which la a counterpart of tha neted No, 9 which carries tha mall west each slay. No. 10 arrives at Omaha at 6 p. ra.. tha aama aa formerly, but leavea San Fran cisco three hours later than before, and carriea tha bulk of the mall which haa tteen coming through an tha Overland Lim ited. Tha Northwestern la evidently after a share of this mall. Burlington efflotale claim they do net (ear the oompetltlon of tha other roads, a they can run their trains aa fast aa ' tha government officials desire. Although . little has been said on the subject, the Burlington haa been busy double tracking Its Chicage-Omaha line until at present It . haa a double track all tha way, except for ,'about twenty miles. With tha prestige af ' tiavlng successfully and satisfactorily oar : ried the mall for twenty years, Burlington Officials claim they have no fear. Although the time card Is out with the . Northwestern a new train, a rumer was ' afloat Saturday noon that the officials had I changed their minds and decided not to 'Change the running time of No. 10. ; Scheme to Omit Omaha. The Northwestern also has another prop- ltion by which It proposes ta shorten, the running distance of tha fast mall trains ' from Chicago to tha Pacific ceast. That la to leave Omaha off tha route and run Its fast mall train from Missouri Valley direct to Fremont to connect with tha Union Pa- oiflo and thus save thirty-four miles of running. The -distance from Missouri Vai ley to Omaha Is twenty-five miles and from Omaha to Fremont Is forty-six miles, making a total of seventy-one miles. The distance from Missouri Valley to Fremont Is thirty-seven miles, making a saving of . thirty-four miles. TWO BOYS, IN TIGHT PLACE Lad VlUm Forge E assurers' Order fa Qui aai Cham Before Javeeli Oawrt. Laroy Bassett, a colored boy af IB. and Carl Rlsse. a white boy, were before the Juvenile court Saturday morning charged with working a clever scheme by means of whloh they got two rifles and two revolv ara for Christmas presents. Bassett works for tha Richardson Drug oompany aa "buy out" boy. lie secured a copy of, a blank ardar tor merchandise to be bought of an outside firm and taking the Rinse boy Into bla confidence, secured the firearms on the strength of the order. His employers did not discover what he had done until the Walter li. Clark company aent them a bill for tST, the value of the goods. Bassett made a full confession to Judge Sutton of the juvenile court, but the Risse boy denied having any guilty knowledge. Ha admitted helping get tha goods, but he aid ha did not know anything about tha forged order. Judge Button will keep tbe boys in jail until next week, when he will decide the case. Al Westerrard. a youth who lives at Thirty-third and Decatur streets, waa be fore the court charged with atriklng Mrs. W. Royce with his fist and knocking her down. Both Mr. and Mrs. Royce testified the boy had been In the bsblt of throwing biiokbaU at them and It waa while engaged In this he had his trouble with her. He denied striking her, but admitted ha pushed her and shs fell down. Judge Button In tlmated he would deal very severely with a boy who would strike a woman, but aa tha evidence waa conflicting he decided to give him another chance and paroled him to Conen Bell. Lsllle Hull, daughter of Ivery Hult, who haa been In jail for several montba on a statutory charge affecting his daughters, but who haa recently been discharged, was In court, as tha juvenile authorttlea are convinced her mother la not tha proper per son to have custody of her. The proba tion officers are now convinced the charge against Mr. Hult were trumped up by the wife and her oonduot Is being looked Into. Judge Button allowed the girl to go with her mother until a suitable place for her to live la found for her.
