16 TITE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, MARCH 2S, 1908. t? fi i' t i ) EXCISEMEN SAVE FORTUNES Rdnce Expenses of Northwestern 110,000 Monthly Ij Savin?. ALL CO-OPERATE AOADTST WASTE Care mnd Ecoaossy Csal t Bier Hams for the '--paar Declares Oeaeral Manager. "T5y co-operatlon on the part of our en-ginr-men we ar saving approximately $10, i00 per month In the cost of our engine fuel as compared with an equal tonnage hauled a year ago," said Frank Waltera. gen eral manager of the Northwestern lines west of the Missouri river. "Several meetings with the train and en glnemen have been held at the varloua di vision points and the Interest shown by the men la reflected most In the fuel cost, which Is, as all know, the largest Item of expense on any railroad. "This question of saving fuel is not a new one and the main point Is to keep the men Interested In their work. The fire man who puts eight or ten shovels of coal In the firebox at one time makes labor for himself and wastes money for the com pany for which he works, for the reason that 25 per cent of the coal's value Is emitted from the chimney In black smoke. "A scoop of coal weighs close to twenty pounds, and if each fireman working for this company on the lines west of the Missouri had during the month of Febru ary laved a scoop of coal every mile run by a locomotive, which Is a very easy thing to do, the saving of that alone would have aggregated I6.&80 and manifestly from our fuel savings more than one scoop per mile was saved during that month. "The way to make money is to save it and no one class of employes on a railway can do more toward effecting real econ omies than the engineer and the fireman. These meetings held along the line of the Northwestern were similar in nature to those held on the Omaha road, which is also a part of the Northwestern system. General Manager Trenholm and Superin tendent Nlcols have been holding similar meetings at the principal points between Omaha and St. Paul and they report a great saving along the same lines. In fact they were able to report an absolute gain in the earnings of the road and attribute it largely to the loyalty of the men, which .was secured in part by these meetings, by means of which the men were able to llBten to their superior officers and to meet with them.

J. B. Preston is free to leave , St. Jo senh's hospital, where for 1 four weeks he has been under guard day and night be cause the authorities at Brighton, Colo., believed he was one of the robbers who tried to break Into the postofflce the night of March 7. Sheriff Hockley came to Omaha from Brighton to "identify" Pres . ton and he brought others, but all failed .to identify him. Thursday Chief Donahue telegraphed that If they wanted Preston they must romn at once. No answer was received and the watch was removed at i o'clock. ' Preston has not confessed how he came by his wounds. It will remain a mystery. This much he did say to Chief Donahue Friday, however: "You can't blame me for not confessing. But I will tell you this. Chief Donahue: Whore I got these wounds there was no murder done and I got the worst of the fight. I've never been In Colorado, but with that 11.600 reward hung up for the man that shot Marshal Ellis at Brighton 1 think they would make a hard try to Job' ma if they got me out there." H will bo remembered that Preston aald upon his arrival one day at the police station that he was shot In a row on Tenth street between Douglas and Dodge, but no one ever gave any credence to this. Two of the three bullets wtilch the sur geons found In Preston's body have not been removed. The wounds have, healed and these bullets will not trouble him. MONUMENT TO BEN BUTLER Shaft for Him If Soatnera Woatea Erect Oae te "Wlrs at As-deraoavllle. The reported persistency of certain branches of the Daughters of the Confed eracy in the south to erect a monument to Captain Henry Wlrs, the more or less fa mous commandant of the Andersonvllle prison during the civil war, has stimulated a movement among the Ladles of the Grand Army of the Republic for the erec tlon of a monument to Oeneral Benjamin F, Butler at New Orleans. The Woman's Re lief corps has also taken up the matter. The matter of a monument to General Butler was talked of in Grand Army cir cles several years ago, but out of deference to the protest of the women of the south fori hi alleged treatment of southern women at New Orleans through his famous order No. 21 the project was abandoned. Now that the trreconcllables are deter mined to go ahead with the Wlrs monu- . ment at Andersonvllle In spite of the pro test of nearly every Woman's Relief corps of the country the Butler monument scheme at New Orleans is again being agi tated. The matter will bo taken up at the meet ing of Garfield circle, Ladles of the Orand Army, at Its meeting this evening and at the meeting of Grant Relief corps next Tuesday evening.

It was reported Thursday County Treas urer Furay would keep the money In the proteut fund until the county attorney passed upen the matter. Mr. English says he has not boon requested to give an opln ton. Deputy County Attorney Magney sayi he sees no reason why the money should not be available for use by the county com mUaloners at th s time. "If I understand ths matter correctly,' ha- said, "the money was paid under pro test in order to protect the estate in case the law should ever be held to be Invalid, or that the money Jiad been paid to the county Illegally. I do not understand the executors of the estate desire the money held up in the protest fund, though of course I msy be wrong. By making the payment under protest the executors may soma time In the future bring suit to : cover from the county. If ths money is not available for use of course this depart ment will at once take steps ta secure It for ths county."
