The mayor action, should It be sustained by the council Tues day evening, will mark another exciting climax In the gas tank fight. In explanation of hla veto the mayor said: I have decided this matter In favor of the property owners on the south side, be cause I believe they are In the right and that their protests outweigh, the demands of the gas company.

STATEMENT BY HEAD OF COMPANY President Hamilton Says Action trl Tests Corporation of Responsibility President Hamilton ot the Omaha Gas company made the following statement: Last Jury the gas corppan)uapplled to the city building inapectorior a permit to oreot a b.11 wiuiuuimi nujuer uii 11 vruiicriv l ff 1, wn n.ntA, itMAt. kh.M lh.

January t the supreme court of Nebraska ueciareo tms ordinance invalid. January the city council passed a resolution stating "the bulklina inspector be and is hereby directed not to issue any permits for the construction of gas plants, tanks or hold ers until the city council passes the proper ordinance regulating the same." January 29 the council by a vote of 7 to 5 passed an ordliianoe permitting the com pany to erect an additional holder on Its property on Twentieth and Center streets. This last ordinance Is the one Mayor DahU man has vetoed. The erection of this additional bolder has been desired by the gas company for more than a year. It ia necessary in order to enable the company to meet the Increasing demand for gas resulting from the constant increase or the population tn tne city. The material for the holder was ordered and fmid for about a year ago and la now lying n the ahopa awaiting shipment. - It waa not thought possible that the company could supply the demand during the present win ter, the consumption of gas being heavier In the winter than at any other time of the year, without this additional equipment, and it la certain that, taking into considera tion the growth that will come before next winter, that It will be impossible for the company to meet next winter's demand without enlarging Its facilities. The com pany has now fought one restrictive ordi nance through the supreme court and It haa been pronounced invalid. Thla entailed some six months' litigation and considerable expense. It has lately urged upon the coun cil the passage of the ordinance of January i9 permitting It to build this additional holder on Its own property and In the im mediate vicinity where the works have been located for many years. This ordinance not having beun approved by Mayor Dahlman. necessarily fails. We ftel that under all these circum stances, we hsve mads every effort that could reasonably be expected of us to put ourselves In shape to supply the eity and cltixens with gaa and If it ahouldNhappeu that there la a failure or shortage In the supply at any time hereafter we do not feel that the company will be responsible for it in view of Its past efforts to put It self In a position to meet the demand. So far aa dollar gas la concerned, we made a proposition last summer to the city authorities, which -Joes not seem to have met with any great favor. If the price of gas should.be reduced from II. IS. the present price, to O. we would expect a considerable Increase In our sales of gaa, and If the city will not permit ua to equip ourselves to supply the demand at II 15, we do not . see how we could be expected to supp'y the larger demand there will be if the price stiould be reduced to II.

And if he should. perchance, see fit to sow the balance of his wild oats after the honeymoon, remember it Is the man's . prerogative." These questions being properly answered. the assembled company sang "What ShalV the Harvest Be" and then congratulations were In order. The gifts were remarkable for their use fulness. A wash board was one of ' tha much admired gifts to the bride. The bride's gift to the groom waa a handsome pin, upon which was engraved the brlde'a age, 23, and the mystic word, "sklddoo." The groom presented the bride with a handsome -brooch, which, he explained, he had secured at a bargain, ' as it was slightly damaged.

' "I have Just returned from Washington, where I have been Interesting myself In the" proposed bill limiting hours of labor of train employes," aald Superintendent Park of the Union Pacific. "The bill la now In the handa of the house committee on Interstate and foreign affairs, of whlcbf Mr. Hepburn la chairman. The committee la disposed to be very fair and desires to formulate a bill which will be practicable and at the same time work a little hardship aa possible on the employes and the railroads. It la tta purpose to give sufficient time to change the present terminals, which will be abso lutely necessary. Under the provisions of the law they w.111 undoubtedly be located at regular distances without regard to the location of existing towns. This, of, course, will Inflict great lose on the property owners of towns where such terminals are now located and on em ployes who own property m such towne. When the government takes over auch mat ters, of course, all private Interests are laid aalde. "Apropos of the universal agitation of cause of railroad accidents the Quarterly Bulletin of the Interstate Commerce Com mission, . which has been Issued since Oc tober 1, 1901, tO January 30, 1906, Inclusive, Indicates a remarkable misconception aa to tha cause of accidents. Crasa ji Train Accidents. "In clasa A train accidents, which the commission defines aa 'those In which dam age Is reported at 110,000 or over, notable cases ia which passengers are killed and thoee doing damage leas than $10,000 and down to $2,000 wherever the circumstances or the cause may be of particular Interest' "In the collisions which were caused by the negligence of trainmen and englnemen there are 217 accidents. Involving damage to engines, cars and roadway of $3,343.9H5 and resulting Ih the death of 904 persons and tha Injury of 3,963 others. Stated In percentages the collisions due to the negli gence 'of tralntnen and englnemen com prised 70.7 per cent of the number of acci dent and resulted In 70 per cent of the money damage, S0.1 per cent of the deatha and 78.1 per cent of the personal Injuries. "In the report a of the Interstate Com merce Commission showing train accidents In which the men who are charged with responsibility have been 'on duty more than sixteen hours preceding the occur rence and classed themselves under the head, - 'When working excessive houra waa co-Incident,' not necessarily, meaning that the accident waa cauaed by overwork, the total number of 'excealve hours' collisions was twenty-four, resulting In property loss of SlSCllfi and the death of twenty persona - and Injury of eighty-five others. The percentage of the total number of In juries to. persons covered by these atatla- tics was . per cent, property damage 2.1 per cent, number of deatha 1.8 per cent and number of personal Injuries 1.7 per cent of the respective totals. Two Per Cent Fanlt of System. "Of. the eighteen accidents which oc curred in automatic block, signal systems only S per cent of the total number was the fault of the System; negligence of em ployes being reaponslbfue for seventeen ac cidents, or 3.8 per cent of the total number of serious collisions. There were thirty- one accident a in nonautomatic block sig nals, only two of which were caused by failure of the system, or less than 0.4 per cent of the total number under considera tion; M per cent of the accidents and over 88 per cent of the loss of life In block sig nal Umlts was caused by negligence of em ployes and Hot by inefficient signal sys tems. "It would appear from the above figures that tho great percentage of ordinary train accidents throughout the United States are through the .negligence of train and en glnemen, Indicating a lack of moral respon sibility on their part. "What, In our opinion Is needed, at this time. Is a proper placing of the blame for accidents on railroads; It should be appre ciated by the public In order tUot their co operation may be secured In' placing thla responsibility where 11 belongs. "Railroad men are paid high salaries compared with those of equal capaullitl;s In other vocations; it la their duty to take the tralna over the road safely. Thla la a duty they owe not only to their employers, but to the public at large. . No Criticism of Employe. "Heretofore, in the agitation of thla sub ject, railroads have been very freely cen sured, at th sam time should It appear that.th emjftoy was grossly or even criminally negligent. It has been, utterly impossible to excite any adverse publio criticism towards th employe. "Lately, the investigations of some of th most serious accidents, auch as the one on the Southern, Baltimore a Ohio and Big Four, with the subsequent thorough Irwestlgalloiia. has Opened the eyes of the public to some extant and there is now more ot a disposition to demand from the railroad employes better service. "The reports ahow an extremely small number of accident wherein It haa been shown that th employe concerned had been -working an excessive number of hour, and even smaller number of fatali ties and personal Injuria, which resulted from these few accldenta. "Public sentiment la all powerful. If It once eryatallxes In the direction of censure, con tempt or possibly punishment for the groaaly criminal element In th personnel of the train forces, holding the Individual at fault up to the publio gaae In the full odium of hla weakness. It win greatly strengthen the discipline of, railroads and go a long way toward lessening th fatalities and property damage on American railroads. "The publio ha been too charitable along these line 'The investigations of accidents both by congress and the local authorities Is an Indication of that tendency In thla direction, and it behooves the eVn ployes to think about these thing and , prepare themselves for a careful. Judicial and unbiased Investigation, which will eventually require them to assume their share of th responsibilities Individually.' Band for Battle Moaataln.
