12 PROTESTS TO OYERSTREET lanionstiasces Go to WwhincUn CTer Cut in Hail Hanlinc Bill ROHLER GIVES HIS SIDE OF CASE Cat Paelfls Offlcsal Calls Atttls t AaHtJ Coat la Mala, talalaa- Fast Tralas Pat Om. Banks of Omaha, ths Omaha Commercial club and prominent cltlssns have wired a protest to Jesse Overstrsst, chairman of the postofflce committee of the house at Washington, for recommending a reduction In the appropriation for hauling malls of 10 pr cent. Word has reached Omaha that he will not consider the protests because he Is In favor of the reduction, and In fact drew the measures himself. A minor ity report will be presented. W. W. Baldwin, assistant to President Harris, of the Burlington, has advised western railroads of this contemplated ac tion and asked them to make it plain to business Interests of the west how the mail service would be Impaired if any re duction In the pay were made. No terri tory In the country has better and more expensive mall service than the west. The fast mall trains out of Chicago and Omaha are famous the country over, and there can be no question the railroads will seek curtailment of expenses should this leoommendatlon be acted upon. Congressman Kennedy has Interested himself In the matter at Washington at the request of the business Interests of Omaha and he wires the protests of Omaha are being pigeonholed by Mr. Overstreet on acocount of his position. Statement by Mohler. Vice President and General Manager Moh ler of the Union Pacific. In speaking on the subject, said: "It should be remembered that, beginning Deoember, 1906, the Union Paclflo lnaugu rated a fast dally exclusive mall train con necting at the Missouri river with fast mall from Chicago, New Tork and other eastern cities, which overtook and con nected at Oreen River with mall trains for Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington, and at Ogden with mall train for southern California. Also with an additional ex elusive dally fast mall train run from Ogden to Oakland, delivering malls In California and other states men tioned. Dractically twenty-four . hours artier than formerly, entailing an addl tlonal cost to the associated lines of 11.000 per day. These systems have Just under taken the construction of six complete all steel fireproof exclusive mall trains for this service, costing, approximately, 1600, CC0, with which it is expected to Improve the efficiency, better protect the mall and Insure to a greater degree the safety of mall djpartment employes. The bene fit of this new service can better be realised when It Is known that a reply to a communication mailed In New Tork can be returned by mall from the Paclflo coast and delivered In New Tork three days earlier than formerly. It must, therefore, be apparent that with such an Important reduction In mall pay, a cor responding reduction In the service must necssarlly follow, to the loss and deterlment of the entire western states, and this fact should be made most apparent to cltliens, who are at present receiving the benefit of this expedited service." FIRE ESCAPE LAWS SUFFER Bill Introduced la Legislators to treaarthesi the statutes to Prwveat Disasters. At the suggestion of Building Inspector Withnell, Deputy Labor Commissioner Bush Is having introduced at Lincoln a bill to amend the laws on fire scapea, so as to give building Inspectors and the labor commissioner more authority. The purpose Is to make binding a notice served on an agent to erect a fire escape on a building. There are numerous buildings In Omaha, Mr. Withnell says, the owners of which are nonresidents and on which buildings fire escapes have not. been placed. The present law does not provide for notices served on resident agents. The new bill contemplates giving the labor commis sioner and building Inspectors authority to order any building closed in cases where notices have been served and fire escapes have not been placed as required. 2 nnrr w M m m mm mm or W H 2 2 HALF PRICE ON THE STOCK OF HIGH GRADE Bought From R.

The Rock Island bas officially announced to local grain men the withdrawal of Its tariff abolishing proportional rates from Omaha on grain originating west of the liver. The amended tariffs announce that the old proportional rate will apply on grain from both sides of the river. n, iiM-k island was a party to ths agree ment, whereby the railroads proposed to make local rales apply on Iowa grain to Omaha, thereby preventing the grain from going to Omaha and thence to the gulf .ivim the Omaha-Chicago lines the long haul. The agreement fell through, as similar ones have many times neiore. I 3?

CLARKE PUTS IN ONE-FIFTH OF IT Babsertbes Two Thoasaad Dollars. Which Brlags Paad I'p Charles B. Ptekeas Bacaested for President. Ten thousand dollars has been raised to start a steamboat on the Missouri river. A meeting for election of directors and officers will be held by the Incorporators of the Omaha & Missouri River Naviga tion company Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock In the Commercial club rooms. The 110,000 fund set as a prerequisite to Incorporation was completed by a $2,000 sub scription from Henry T. Clarke, who Is the one man In Omaha persistently and continually talking Missouri river naviga tion. Mr. Clarke went into the office of Ourdon W. Wattles, who had circulated subscription papers among ths grain men and who had raised his $6,000. He seemed much disappointed to learn that the Com mercial club contingent of the steamboat committee still lacked about C0OO. "Hand me that subscription paper," he said to Mr. Wattles. "Good; you're doubling up on the rest of them." said Mr. Wattles when the other had written on the paper and handed It back. "I see you are putting in $300." "It's $2,000; it's ,$2,000. snorted Mr. CUrVe. And It was, sure enough. Plckeas for President. Charles H. Pickens, who last year was chairman of the transportation committee of the Commercial club. Is prominently mentioned for the presidency of the com pany. O. W. Watfles was also suggested. but Mr. Wattles has said his many other duties will not allow htm to serve. No move to buy a boat will be made at once, as It is thought well to spend two or three months snd a few hundred dollars In the acquisition of Information. It is ex pected to get information snd advice from Captain H. M. Chittenden, a government engineer, who has written a book on th "Early Steamboat Navigation of the Mis souri River," and it Is proposed to send a man to Kansas City, Bt. Louis and other river towns to make Investigations. The Kansas City jobbers a few months ago launched a steamboat company without much preparation, and now they are ready to sell their boats and barges, having found they are not adapted to the river. A. Overton and other old pilots of Omaha will be called upon for advice and information. Aaaa Howard Bhaw Elected. CIUCAQO.
