12 RAILWAY FRANCHISE WAITS 1TTE OMAITA DAILY DEE: THURSDAY. AUOUST 1, 1907. Shimer &, Chase Not Yet Given Deci sion by County. pOARD WANTS TO KNOW BACKERS Attorney mt Certain I, and Ownrri Hriimt Delay of Actios la Ralldlns; of I.lne to Sey mour 1'ark. The requrnt of Shimer Chase for franchise for a street rallrnad to run out Went Q street to Seymour park met with another delay Wednesday morning when the county board took the matter under advlnement for three week. Action was postponed until the members of the bonrd could familiarize their, Helves with the terms of a new franchise resolution prepared by James If. Adams for Hlilmer & Chase, and In order to give certain Interested taxpay ers, who are out of the city, a chance to be heard. John C. Wharton, hn said he appeared for some heavy taxpayers, whom he did not name, asked for the delay, because he vsalrt, he had not time to look over the new franchise resolution And because one of his clients Is out of the city for his vacation. He asked time to consult with this client before action was taken. W. I. Klcrstead seconded tne request for pnstponormnt of action. To Conform to Board's Idea. Mr. Adams said the changes in the fran chise had been made to conform to the opinion expressed by members of the board at the previous meeting. He said he had limited the franchise to fifty years and to a single road to conform to a plat he had already filed retaining the provision the road should bo in actual operation within two years. Mr. Ure broke Into the discussion which followed with a suggestion that the bonrd ought to know who Is backing Shimer & Chase and who Mr. Wharton's namoleps clients are. The Information was not forth coming from either side, however. Dr. George I Miller addressed the bonrd In favor of the road and Mr. Adams stated they had secured the signatures of 90 per cent of the property owners along the prop erty to a petition asking the road be built. Coal Company Protests Bill. The Central Coal and Coke company came before the board protesting against a deduction of $144. Bl In Its bills for furnish ing coal to the county hospital. Chairman Tralnor of the county hospital committee recently had Installed a set of scales at the hospital and Issued orders that all sup plies be w.elghed. As a result It was found that a number of the coal cars were short from one to several tons and tha board made reductions to cover the shortage. Mr. Real of the coal company appeared Wednesday and asked tho board to allow the full amount. He said It was customary for large consumers to take mine weights and he thought the county should do the same. Several of the commissioners said they objected to paying for coal they did not get and the claim was taken under advisement. 'Phone Discount ot Allowed. The State Railway commission haa ruled that the Nebraska Telephone company can not give the county a special discount on the switchboard It Is proposed to Install In the court house. At least this Is the information conveyed to the board by tele phone officials. The company made a proposition to Install the board with twenty-one conectlons for $37.50 a month, being a discount of 60 per cent from regular rates. Under the ruling of the board they have made a new proposition amounting to $91, to Include additional 'phones at the poor farm and the Detention school. The Independent Telephone company has entered Into the competition and has sub mitted an offer to Install a switchboard with twenty-six connections and capacity for fifty for 134.50 a month, additional con nections to be made for 75 cents a month. The board will consider both propositions at a later date.

Douglas of Bassett, county attorney of Rock county, representative In the leg islatures of 1903 and 1905 and candidate for the republican nomination for Judge of the Fifteenth district, was at the Merchants hotel Tuesday. lie gives an encouraging report of political conditions In the Fif teenth district and thinks republican pros pects were never better In the northwest part of the state than at this season. "I filed my petition for the nomination with the secretary of state under the new primary law at Lincoln Monday," said Mr. Douglas. "I expect to land the nomination, which la, of course, equivalent to an elec tion. Borne opposition Is naturally ex expected. However, I shall not be seri ously disappointed should I not win out. I am vain enough to think that my legisla tive experience and my service as county attorney will be of great value to me should I be nominated and elected. "I wish to deny the charge that I am fcS My sense a railroad candidate. The fact that I have been an attorney for a railroad company In my vicinity does not make me any more loyal to the railroad Interests than to any other client that I havs had In my long career as an attorney. If elected Judge I shall be the Judge of the whole people of the Fifteenth district and not for any interest or clique. I believe the Judiciary Is and should be removed from partisan or special Influences and I think tny publlo career will bear me out In the statement that the law and Impartial Jus tice will be the only influences that will govern any action of mine should I be for tunate enough to be elevated to the bench."

Scharmann, In the office of General Man ager Mohler of the Union Pacific, from her husband who was on the Ill-fated Columbia when It went down off the California coast July aJ, and so many lives were lost: The ship was loaded with 190 passengers and a crew ot fifty-nine. The loving farewells of relatives and others oil the wharf sounded cheery and confident and I thought of my own dear family at home and longed to have them with me to share my anticipated pleasure. I was completely aroused by a rude shock of the boat and, rising on my elbow, I realised all the machinery had ceased to work. Almost immealately the cry rang out, "Kveryliody on deck." We sprang from our bertha, turned on the lights sup plied by a storage battery, thank the Ixrd. Hnd .lumped Into our clothing with all speed. My supposition was the screw propeller had struck a submerged rock and that Its blades had been broken off; that there would be ample time to be transferred to some passing steamer, 1 had no doubt at all. 1 put on my overcoat and buckled my steel Ashing rod, as you have seen me do often, to my suit case and rushed out of the stateroom. "Don't forget your life pre server," came the cry. I had forgotten mine and rushed back, seised It, put It on over my overcoat and hurried on deck with my grip In hand. Awfnl TrntTh Is Apparent. Once on deck the awful truth revealed Itself. The steamship Ban Pedro had rammed our ship on the right forward quarter what seamen call the starboard bow. Already the boat was so tilted to this quarter that one could not stand upon the deck unsupported. We were close to the rear or stern of the ship. I climbed over the railing and prepared to Jump when, almost above me. but on the hurricane deck, a man npieared and said: "Listen to your captain," "lon't get excited." "Paha the women up here." A tall fellow to my right, some twenty feet, perns ns, grabbed a woman and helped her up. She was a Miss I.ewla, 1 believe, of Syracuse, N. Y. Another was being hoisted and. when the dojik heaved, the stat rooms burst out. I leaped. 1 was on the deck of the wrecked ship perhaps thirty seconds. The principal cry raised that night waa "Where Is my life preserver?" "How do you put this thing on?" "What does It look ilkeT" There was but a light fog and I did not see a single lifeboat on our side of the ship. I was on the left, or port side. I must have been drawn Into a whirlpool caused by the tremendous suction of the sinking boat, for 1 was whirled, buffet ted by wreckage and the pressure was so great I thought It must crush me. Then, up I shot the life pr server was doing Its work well. I inuHt not harrow you with a nar rative of all I saw and experienced. With the aid of a light time box about like a sugar chest I Moated until taken Into a lifeboat and presently clamhored over the side of the Han Pedro, which I soon saw was a complete wreck, floating aimlessly about. It was after 1 a. in. when I waa rescued; my watch stopped at 12:24 a. m, I must have been In the ocean ever one and a half hours. The boat sunk In leas thaa ten minutes. We were rescued by the George W. Elder at a. ra. Sunday morn ing and carried to Eureka, CaL, where great-hearted pesple turned out enmasse and did everything that food, clothing, money and kind attention oeuld do to give us relief. Be Want Ada Are BuatiMas Boosters. NEBRASKA DRAWS PRIESTS Spalding; Mfcen for Franciscans, Man Whom Are Stopped by Bishop. In order to stop the exodus of members of the Franciscan order from the eastern dioceses to the Third ,Order of St. Francis at Spalding, Neb., drastic measures are said to have been taken by church offi cials. Bishop McDonnell of the Brooklyn diocese recently dispensed from their vows twenty brothers of the order who applied to him for leave to depart from Brooklyn to Spalding. This practically reduces them to the rank of laymen and undoes the work of three years, including the service In the postulant, novice and other stages. As the brothers had taken permanent orders It waa necessary for them to secure permission from the bishop to be transferred to Ne braska. The order of the bishop also will sever their connection with the college of St Francis in Brookyn. The step Is .aid to have been taken be cause of the tendency of members of the order in the east to migrate to Nebraska because of better conditions here. The at titude of the bishop is said to be hostile toward the order. He la said to favor ad vancing to the priesthood young men who graduate from the seminaries rather than members of the orders.
