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 . Saturday night that
correspond exactly wjth. the. empty shells
found on the ground 'hear the body of the
murdered man Sunday; Columblo did not
pay for the.jSljiUs'.aflditAey jare charged

strange facts "are connected with this dis
covery, ono Is Mrs. Carasnllo is a sister
of Columblo and the other Is the shells

which Columblo bought, and exactly fit
Into this gun.
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

END WILLIAMS-DE ARMOND WAR
HelltHerent Drmwrata Politely Indi
cate a Trnre In the Hos
tilities. 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. I

activities In both city and diocese.

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."

I do not approve of the plan of allowing
