Corner Howard, London finance committee that application should be made. tQ a Vntted States court for a creation of a temporary receiver ship until such time as the company ahall have rblalned authorisation from the stockholders for the Issue of first mort gage bonds to an amount sufficient to finance Its requirements. " . Mr. Stlekney, addressing the noteholders, explained the circumstances of the; railroad. He dwelt on the financial conditions In America, which Interfered wtlh the pay ment of the S per cent notes that mature during the present year. The decision of the finance committee met with the approval of the noteholders. Only one Interested firm, Keisef ft Co., Which has made large sales of the notes Maturing In March, opposed the receiver ship and proposed a different plan. After the. meeting President Stlckney said: . ? ;. , . "The Chicago. Great Western fortunately lias no mortgage. It Issued a lot of notes which matured during time of financial depression, and. s usually occurs In such a case, we could not pay i them. A great majority of Ui noteholders were perfectly willing to extend the, time -ot the notes, but some of the holdem could not be reached and it was uncertain what they might do. The committee, thought it best, under the circumstances to place the property In control of the court during the time neces sary to Issuo first mortgage bonds and sell them. In ordinary times It would take three, months to issue and sell these bonds, but how, long It will take to sail them under present conditions is problematical."

It Is this heavy loss of business and the resulting loss of revenue which Is given as one of the main reasons for the road being compelled to ask for a receiver. Many people In Omaha are holders of .Chicago Great Western stock, and these' differ among themselves as to what the outlook for their Investments might he. Some fear the stock might be wiped away In the reorganization, and one holder, who has a considerable number of shares, said: "If It Is gone let It go, but I have an idea that with the road reorganised the Chicago Great Western will become one of the leading Chicago-Omaha lines and that the stock will soon be worth much more than many of the present holders paid for it." No word was received at the local office, the company being represented In Omaha by O. A. Ellis, general agent, and by W. O. Davidson, city passenger and ticket agent, and several clerks. The holdings In Omaha are quite numerous, as Omaha Is one of the few large cities where the Chicago Great Western owns Its . own terminals. In Omaha a few years ago the company acquired extensive terminals at" the north end of the Sixteenth street . viaduct, where considerable money waa expended In. bring ing it up to the level wit It Sixteenth and Leavenworth streets. '-'. ' The Independent elevator Is one of the monuments to Stlekney and the Chicago Great Western in Omaha! but it. Is, .thought It will In no way be affected by the re ceivership. It la owned by a separate cor poration, organised under the laws of Ne braska, and although the -Chloago Great Western rallroud is the principal stock holder, the receivership will not affect that property.

COLUMBIO ABMITS KILLING Confesses Shooting Florenza, but Says it Was Accidental. TWO HOURS IN THE SWEATB0X Chief of neteetlvea "avngce I'roilnces Gun Which Caused Death and This Overwhelm the Prisoner. Severl Columblo admits he killed Gulseppl Florenxa Sunday, but says he did It ac cidentally. The confession waa pumped out of him by Chief of Detectives Savage after an ordeal of two hours In the sweat box at the city Jail Wednesday. Seldom has any police officer In Omaha encountered as difficult task of ferreting out a secret as was presented to Chief Savage In this case. For two hours Colum blo persistently denied all knowledge of the killing, denied that he ever went to the scene of the tragedy with Florenza, denied fhe ever saw the gun and shells found In the case and pverythlng connected with It. "Here Is the gun you killed that man with," shouted Chief Savage as he abruptly grabbed the single-barrel shotgun and thrust It at Columblo; "you are afraid to touch It. yqu dare not touch it. Touch It, why don't you?" But Columblo would not. He drew back and shuddered. . 1 , "I killed him," the man finally said In a voice that sounded hollow. "But I didn't go to do it." And then he gave his explanation. "I had built a fire there (one-half milo north of the eastern terminus of the East Omaha car line) and Gulseppl suddenly yelled, 'there goes a flock of birds.' I grabbed my gun to shoot them and acci dentally shot him.'' Puts Victim Out of Misery. When asked to explain how he happened to shoot Florenza twice ' Columblo answered he shot him the second time to put him out of his misery. Several times while relating the story of the shooting Columblo broke down and cried. He was asked to give an explanation of the fact that Florenza had $L"0 on his person the dtiy before he was killed which he had received from New York In a letter, and that when found dead he had 1 cent. Columblo could not explain that, neither could he explain how Florenza expected to pay his street car fare back to town on 1 cent, or why two men would go hunting with one single barreled gun. Chief Savage Intends to take the prisoner to the coroner's rooms and have him view the body of the murdered man, as it Is believed such a procedure will have the effect of loosening Columblo's tongue still further. Detectives Mitchell and Sullivan are en titled to a largo share of the credit for clearing up this mysterious case. They have worked night and day on It since Sunday and havo gathered all of the evi dence which compelled Columblo to confess to the deed. Columblo Buys Gun Shells. After Conductor Anderson of the East Omaha street car line failed to Iden tify Columblo aa one ot the men who rode to the end of his-line near where tho murder was committed Sunday morning. Chief Savage began to think he had tho wrong man. Tuesday night the detective found a local merchant who sold Columblo some shotgun, shells .

PUBLICITY FOR SUGAR COMPANY Stockholders Decide to hnnae the Policy of' Parmer Presi dent. NEW YORK. Jan. 8. Publicity in the af fairs of the 'American Refining company will be the policy favored by W. B. Thomas, acting president of that company, according to an announcement which he made at the annual meeting of the stock holders held in Jersey City today. Mr. Thomas said that the policy of the late President Havemeyer was that all financial Information required by law should be made public, but that it waa for the stockholders to decide whether any more should be done. Mr. Havemeyer be lieved that the value of assets was a mat ter of opinion and difficult to determine. Mr. Thomas said he believed Mr. llave meyer's policy had been fully Justified in the past, but that -wow a policy of pub licity Is desirable In view of the conditions which corporations confront. A. Bpreckels moved and the stockholders adopted a motion that a full statement of the properties and subsidiary companies owned by the American Sugar Refining company should be made. Mr. Spreckles opposed, but the stockholders adopted a motion to preserve the accumulated sur plus as a working capital. John E. Parsons of New Yortt and O. II. Frazler of Philadelphia were re-elt-cted di rectors and Horace Havemeyer was chosen a director to succeed his father, the late president.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 In the presence of the entire house, Representative Wil liams of Mississippi and Representative De Armond of Missouri, whose physical en counter on the floor of the house Just before the Christmas adjournment attracted general attention, today engaged In an exchange of amrnltleg which was generally accepted as a public announcement as to their respective intentions not to let their personal differences Interfere with the courteous discharge of their public duty. Tho Incident occured In connection with an effort by Mr. Dalxell of the committee on rules to get the house to agree to a rule giving right of way to the bill authorizing the codification and amendment of the appeal laws of the United States, and lim iting general debate for four hours. There was some discussion of the propo sition before each was heard. Several members parsed the opinion that the rule was a scheme to sidetrack other legislation. Mr. Dalzrll, however, refuted this. Minority Leader Williams came to the rescue and favored the rule, saying that congress ought to get rid of the report as It embodied the result of the labor of the commission for ten years. He said the matter was wholly nonpartisan In every way. To tho surprlse-of every one. Mr. Wil liams then yielded ten of his twenty min utes time to Mr. De Armond of Missouri, who politely bowed his acknowledgements. The two men constitute the minority of the committee on rulee and are necessarily thrown togther In the committee's work and other members of the house expressed satisfaction over their evident Intention to preserve the amenities in their official re lations. Mr. De Armond attacked the rule be cause In his opinion the bill, which Is a very long one, would be used as a buffer the entire session against other and more important legislation. Mr. Williams wbj vigorously supported by Messrs. Sharly of Kentucky, Watklns of Louisiana, Houston of Tennessee, and Maceon of Arkansas, all members of the committee of revision of the laws. The rule was passed by an overwhelming majority, despite efforts by Mr. De Armond and several adherents to secure the yeas and nays and the house at once proceeded to the consideration and reading of the bill. At the conclusion of the reading, which consumed two hours and fifteen minutes, the bill was laid aside and the house again took up the resolution distributing the president's message to tho several committees. ARMY SHORT ON RECRUITS Also Loses Men By Purchased Ills rharucs ns Result of Industrial Hard Times. WASHINGTON. Jar. 8.-Thc hard times in the industrial world that have driven into the marine corps and the navy nearly all of the men needed to fill the authorized quotas have not helped the army so far In the matter of recruitment. Reports still flow in upon the War department of fail ure to secure recruits; of privates buying their discharges; of noncommissioned offi cers refusing to re-enllst and of resulting skeleton organizations that are little more than travesties upon fighting forces A typical report Just at hand Is one from Fort Mcintosh, Tex.. In which the com manding officer of a battalion of the Nine teenth Infantry says: "I have present today In the four com panies fifty-six men and twenty-nine of these . are to be dlxchargptl this month. At the end of this month if we get no re cruits one company will have three men and- another four. The other two com panies will have eleven and twelve, men, respectively." The report Is ona of a number being col lected fof the enlightenment of congress In dealing with the great question ot "What Is wrong with the army?" There has been more or less complaint of the paucity of re-enllstments In the regiments now serving in the Department of the Missouri, as in the case of the Six teenth Infantry, now at Fort Crook, and also with the Kighth and Fourth regi ments of cavalry at Forts Robinson and Meade. However, the three regiments have been recruited up to their minimum force, almost wholly from new recruits. These recruits are received from the va rious recruiting rendezvous at Jcferson Barracks and Columbus (O.) Barracks, and they ore In turn gathered from every part of the country and are sent to these ren dezvous for training. The re-enlistments are very few owing to the fact that these regiments have Just returned from the Philippines and the men apparently desired to enter civil life again. The pay In the I'nited States stations Is 10 or more per cent less than soldiers serving In the In sular possessions and this, too, has the effect to discourage re-enlistments. WALSH IN HIS, OWN DEFENSE Gives Ills Version of the Purchase of Securities by the Bank. CH ICAOO. Jan. 8. John R. Walsh, on trial In the United States district court on a charge of misapplication of funds of the Chicago National bank, took the stand In his own behalf today. Mr. Walsh told of the founding by him in lWii of tile bank. As Its president, he said, he purchased in 1897 and 189S certain receivers' certificates of 'the Centralla A Cheater railroad at 83. Prior to their purchase, he said, a careful Inspection of the property was made by himself, Mr. F. M. Blount, then vice presi dent of the bank, and others. The legal status of the road was also Investigated by A. F. Hatch, attorney for tho bank, the witness asserted. Efforts by the prose cutor to have Mr. Walsh admit that In purchasing the receivers' certificates he had In mind the ultimate control of the railroad for the benefit of holdings which he may have had at that timi were without avail. "I had nothing In mind except that I thought tho certificates were good securi ties for the money and that they were cheap,'' said Mr. Walsh.

The second bishop of Nebraska, Rt. Rev. George Worthlngton, D. D. LL. IX, was born In Lennox, Mass., October 14, 1840. He graduated In Hobart college In 1M0 and at the Central Theological seminary In 1S6& He was admitted to the diaconate in the Church of the Annunciation In New York, June 28, 1S83, by Bishop Horatio Potter, who advanced him to the priesthood In the Church of the Transfiguration January IS, 1884. His charges were St. Paul's, Troy, N. Y., as assistant; Christ church, Ballston Spa, N. Y.. and St. John s. Detroit, Mich., he being pastor of the last named church for seventeen years, ministering to a de voted and attached congregation, and hav ing one of the largest communicant lists In the church. While In Detroit he was a deputy to the general convention, president of the standing committee, examining chap lain to the bishop and a leader In church activities In both city and diocese. When he was called to St. John's he parish had 438 communicants and when he left It had 1,400. During the vacancy of the Michigan see, 1878-9, the clergy of the diocese elected Dr. Worthlngton bishop, but he declined. Not withstanding this declination they elected him twice afterward. In 1883 tho house of bishops appointed him bishop of China, which he declined lso. In 1884 Nebraska elected him bishop of this diocese and he declined, withdraw ing his name by telegram from the con vention. Tho convention then elected the Rev. E. N. Potter, who also dvclined. In November, 1884, a second special conven tion was called and a second time Dr. Worthlngton was elected bishop. This time he accepted and was consecrated In his parish church on St. Matthias' day, Feb ruary 24, 1RR5. by Bishops Coxe, Hare, Gllosplc, McLaren. Perry, Seymour, Har ris and H. C. Potter. Bishop Perry's Tribute. Bishop Perry In his history of the Amer ican Kpiscopate says of Bishop Worth lngton: "His administration has been marked by great development in the ma terial and spiritual affairs of the see. Its rapid growth under the laborious over sight of its head, led to the creation In 18S9, out of the western part of tho diocese of the missionary Jurisdiction of the Platte. The bishop . Is devoted to his Bee, wise and sagacious in his Judgments, conserva tive in churchmanshlp, and impresses clergy and laity alike with his consecra tion to the work of the ministry and to the advance of the cause and church of Christ." Since the appointment of Rt. Rev. A. L. Williams as bishop coadjutor, Bis hop Worthlngton has made occasional visits to the diocese or whenever his presence was needed, having been here during the year Just past. When Informed of Bishop Worthlngton'a death Bishop Coadjutor Williams said: "The news la a severe shock to ine as from the occasional letters I have had from Bishop Worthlngton since his departure from this country in November, he has seemed to havo been in tho best of spirits, with the exception of the last missive I received, about a week ago in which the bishop complained of a heavy cold."
