ILLINOIS CENTRAL PLEAS END
Jadgs Ball Aanonnres He WUI Hand
Down Decision A boat
Fcbraary 20.
CHICAGO. Dec. 24. John J. Merrick,
representing! the Interests of E. IL Har
rlman In tbe Illinois Central injunction
proceedings, concluded his argument lata
yesterday afternoon. Judge Ball compli
mented the attorneys of both parties to
the suit on the courteous manner In
which they had conducted their cases,
and announced that he would render his
decision on or about February 20.
In summing up his argument Attor
ney Herrlck said:
"We say that we are going to vole for
three directors who served the company
all these years. We are not going to
vote for Mr. Flan for the reasons that
are stated and which are confirmed by
the statements of eight of his fellow
directors as to his unfitness for the po
sition. Ws say that we are going to vote
for an Independent man who Is not con
nected with the Union Pacific. That la
all ' ws have threatened. Both of these
companies (the Union Pacific railroad
and the Railways Securities company)
have put themselves on record as to that
proposition. How Is It with Mr. FUh?
He does not deny that this bill Is brougnt
as alleged In the affidavits In pursuance
of a purpose to promote his re-eloctlon,
cot only as a director but as president.
He does not deny that it Is his lntentioa
In getting these proxies to vote them
not only for his own re-electron but for
the election of three other persons to bs
named by him, unknown to this court. In
ths place of these directors who have
served all these years and who were
elected and re-elected by his own vote."
Attorney Herrick denied that Mr. Har
rlman was dominating the policy of the
nota Central, had argued that thf suit
declared the Union Pacific railroad was
g connecting line and said that Mr. Fish
was a director in a line competing wittr
the Illinois Central railroad.
The attorneys for Utuyvesant Fish
filed an amendment to their original bill
of complaint, intended lo eliminate any
possibility of dissolution of" ths Injunc
tion on the grouVid ' that It Was not
brought In a proper manner.
J. M. Dickinson, attorney for the Illi

should have been brought in the nam of
the. Individual stockholders. In the
amendment It was set forth that ts cava
applied to, the board of directors before

fruitless because of alleged personal hos

BASE BALL ON CHRISTMAS
Townsendi and Merchant. Will Flay
at Diets Park.
HARD KNOCK ON SANTA CLATJS
Rea-ardleaa at Weather These Tvra
Teasna Will Give Omaha What
It Ilaa KcTer Yet Ex
perienced. . PUy ball fie on .your vaunted April 15!
It was Dec mber 15, 2118. Little Johnnie
had climbed on his1 grandpa's knee and
asked grandpa to tell him a story of how
Christmas used to be-elebrsted when lie
was a boy.
"Much the same as It ts now," aald
grandpa "W would get out on the beau
tiful green grass and play ball and the
losing team would give a grand banquet
In the evening to tha winners amV all our
friends would bo Invited. But many, many
years bofore that, , long before grandpa
was born, they used to celebrate Christ
mas In a much different way. At Christ
mas time the ground would bo covered
with snow and It was very cold. The
night before all the children would hang
up their stockings and a good old man
called Santa Claus would come and fill
them with good things and besides he
would place Christmas frees, evergreens.
In their houses, and decorate them with
tinsels and candles and laden thety, with
good things. Then on Christmas day the
folks would have big-dinners and go to
church and entertsmments and often have 1
big sleigh parties.'
"Oh, that must have been fine; I wish
they'd do that way now," said little John
nie, as be scratched his chubby little baro
foot. "When did they change things?"
asked the inquisitive little fellow.
"Well, ft was along In the twentieth cen
tury, I think about 1507," said grandpa.
"It was In what they then called the mid
dle west. Two cities, one large and one
small, created the change in the manner
of celebration, and, then a little later the
weather was changed by a wise man not
one of the three flamed Welsh, who had
complete control of the weather. He made
It warm at Christmas time. These two
Hies that changed tha custom were
Omaha and Fargo. They instituted base
ball as the grcatpastlme of the day, which
then as now, was -the great American
game. In Omaha the first Christmas game
was played at "what .history calls Diets
park, between two teams known as the
Townsends and Merchants. I don't re
member tha names bf the Fargo teams.
But the people -liked the new custom so
well they petitioned' the weather man,
Welsh, so the legend runs, to change the
weather to suit lc pastime, and he did,
and it has so remained."
Gaaue Despite Weather.
Thus may tho man of the twenty-second
century tell his rlttle grandson. For
Christmas day in Omaha this new order of
things not necessarily the weather will
bo instituted. Th5 newspapers have
brought ths report that the w;eather Is so
warm at Fargo. N. D., that a base bAli
game is contemplsted there Christmas day.
,If Fargo, within a" 'stone's throw of tht
north pole, can do such a thing, why not
Omaha? What's "the use to wslt for the
15th of April? That's the question that
the Townsend's and Merchants' asked
themselves, and without waiting for an an
swer they arranged for a game at Diets
park, to be called at S p. m. Wednesday,
the first Christmas game Omaha ever ssw.
They petitioned feather Forecaster Welsh
for a suitable day, but Mr. Welch was not
disposed to treat .their petition with much
consideration, so-.thcy announce that re
gardless of rhe.ather ;they will play
their game. ..
Both these teams are among the best In
Om9a. They were booked during last
season for three games, and as It rained
on each day set they did not meet. Here
is the line-up: (..

City Welahmasler Saved
From Defeat. y
Much routine was introduced at the citr
council meeting last night and considerable
detail work waa advanced. Little business
of Importance wss actually completed. One
of the most significant items was the ap.
proprlation of S1.S72.46 from the sCBvengcr
collations to the special grading fund, to
which obligations have fallen due, and th
collection of special tsxes In those districts
has not been sufficient to meet the obliga
tions. This practically puts the obligation
on the city at large. The mayor announced
a policy In this respect that the city should
Issue funding bonds to take up this short,
age and replace the money appropriated
from the scavenger collections. The city
attorney suggested that this w-as a poor
time to attempt to float funding bonds.
Robert O. Fink's report of the scavenger
tax titles which hsve been bought by the
city was a subject of discussion. The
smotint equals S20.ono, ot which a part is
duo to(the school fund and Douglas rounty.
The mayor thought the city should sell
these lots to the highest bidder and the
money used in liquidating these delin
quencies as far as possible. It Is expensive
to prove up on the lots, which comprise
a lot of scattered properties of little value.
The council Instructed the city attorney to
Confer with the county attorney to arrange
a new decree In the matter.' so that the
land might be sold and deeded. ' .
George Burke & Co. entered a protest
against the raising of their valuation from
$2,610 to S50.000. The firm is In the conrmis
slon business at the South Omaha yards.
The advance was designated as highway
robbery. The parties claimed that their
first valuation was correct and asked the
council to reduce the assessment. The
taxes on their property would amount to
$409 this year. The N.vc-8nyder-Fowler
company paid Its tax. similarly udvanced.
amounting to $S2, under protest, and asked
the council to reduce their taxes. The
matter was referred to "the finance, com
mittee of the council.
The contract for the furniture ot the
new city hall made its appearance again
last night, and was road for approval, but
when the matter was put to a vote It was
not approved by a majority oZ the council.
Councilman Joe Duffy voted against It.
and Hauptman and Vocacek were absent.
This came as a great surprise to the coun
cil, and since the furniture la already In
stalled and in use. It leaves the council In
a dilemma.
Miss Dora Hasburgh asked for a raise
in salary from 340 to $50 per month.
The mayor was instructed to visit the
Omaha Water company and demand that
certain fire hydrants be placed, which the
council has from time to time ordered.
The reserves of the paving and grad
ing districts which remain in the
treasury, were ordered Invested In Interest
bearing securities for the benefit of the
contractor, according to law.
The ' ordinance condemning the right-of-way
tor tho U street viaduct was recom
mended for passage. Two sidewalk ordin
ances also passed, and the bond ordinance
for the grading of Twentieth street from Q
toT atreet was recommended by the Judici
ary committee.
An ordinance establishing the course of
a sanitary sewer at Twenty-sixth and Q
streets was Introduced., The grading ordin
ance for Nineteenth street from Missouri
avenue to I was also introduced. Several
special levy ordinances were Introduced to
cover the cost of paving Missouri svenue
and of O street. Two such ordinances re
lating to various sidewalks were Intro
duced. The ordinance was passed, opening J
street from Nineteenth to Seventeenth.
The ordinance creating the office of city.
Inspector of weights and measures waa
being read for the third time by the city
clerk, and rather than kill the ordinance
the reading was stopped', as It was dis
covered that one of the councllmen would
vote against It. The salary proposed was
$000 per year. '
. The council adjourned for one week and
will probably meet In the new city hall.
Holiday Aspect at Yards.
The Omaha Live Stock market took on a
decidedly holiday aspect yesterdsy morn
ing. The receipts were very light and
prices ranged fully 10 cents higher In all
lines. The commission men had little to do
except to tell good stories and smoke. No
large runs of stock sre expected until after
the holidays. Many of the commission men
and salesmen are already taking their
holiday vacation. Only a sufficient force is
kept in the offices to do the limited busi
ness and tske care of the correspondence.
A lighter run thtn yesterday's is expected
today, which I stlie usual thing on tha
day before Christmas. The market was
lively on cattle and aheep yesterday, but
while hogs advanced 10 cents, the sales
were still pretty slow.
Fear Chaoses at Yards.
Everett Buckingham, the new manager of
the Union Slock yards, said yesterday re
garding any changes In the offices or
working force of the yards: "I never was
a great hand for changes. In the differ
ent railroad propositions in which I have
been Interested it has always been my pol
icy to create as little disturbance in the
previous arrangements as possible. I ex
pect to follow up the same course here. I
may announce a few changes after the first
of the year. The directors and the demands
of the present financial situation require
the strictest economy at present In the
management of the yards. Whatever we
do In the matter of change will be with
that end '11 view. We hope to take a broad
view In the matter, however. Hence, I
say as little change as possible. The tVirce
Is reduced by the resignation of some of
the former officials already. Aa to the en
gineer's office, we expect to continue ar
rangements there ss they are at present."
This probably means that W. Scott King
will be retsined with sufficient latitude
granted to allow him to do the work with
which he is now concerned In the National
Construction company, the Mud creek sewer
and other engineering and business of
that corporation.
