ARMY POST FIRE IS PROBED Board Investigate Caase of Karljr Moraine; Blase In Properly Balla Ina; at Port Omaha. Captain A. O. Hepburn, commandant of Fort Omaha, appointed a board of investi gation Saturday morning, which at once began looking Into the causes and extent of the fire which damaged the property building of the fort an hour and one-half after midnight. The board will determine, if possible, the cause of the blase and the amount of loss. 'The damage will be less than 12,000," said Captain Hepburn, "but how much less It Is impossible to say as yet. Besides the property actually destroyed. " there are many Instruments of precision stored In the building and only a little Injury would render these useless. Tbe loss is chiefly by water." The fire was discovered atj:t0 a. m. by a furnace tender, who turned In the alarm. Three fire companies, under control of Captain W. H. Oury, fire marshal of the post, bad three streams playing In a few seconds more. It was extremely difficult to locate the fire, which originated In the furnace room, because of the unusually dense smoke which filled the building and which for some time prevented entrance. Not knowing how serious the fire would be, a request for aid was made of the city department, and two companies were sent to the scene. When they arrived the mili tary smoke-eaters had the fire nearly out and, after burning and smouldering for one hour from time of discovery, combus tion was pronounced at an end. Some electrical and telegraphic appara tus, and a large amount of official sta tionery and forms were stored In the base ment of the storehouse and this was de stroyed. The greatest amount of appara tus which Is kept In the building was not reached by the flames, but may have been hurt somewhat by water. It will be some time before the extent of loss from this cause can be definitely known. The build ing Itself waa not damaged to any extent. f Dr. Pierce by latter. , . - aaa r Msd. rres.osai. ouasio, n. I. -1 it5ki Wisconsin. ,esl Adrtsar mwi !-- wnvf w bi wtin. YEAR ENDS IN MAY, KENNEDY Jndpe Expresses Opinion as to Liquor LioenM Dates. CASE COMES UP ON PROTEST Crt Mirttlu OTkJ4l0 Dafcmks Ureas, bat Overral that t RriifiTutt, Hear T. M. r. A. Batl4laar. Will each saloon keener of Omaha have to par another 11.000 for a new 11cbm in May? Judge Kennedr of the district court afUr hearinx the John Dahrake caee Saturday. expreaaed it aa hie opinion that the Board of Fire and Police Commleaionera had a right to grant llcenaea whoae term of Ufa rhould end with the municipal year, and he aald In his opinion that rr ended under the preaent laws In May, or at the time of the municipal electlin. Judge Kennedy denied a lieenee to John Dahmke of tit South Sixteenth street, who haa appealed to the dlatrtct court to over. rule the protest of Elmer E. Thomaa against the granting of the lieenee. The exctee board granted the tlcenae after Thomaa had Introduced teatlmony to ahow that minors had bought bottles of whisky In the saloon and Thomas appealed the case. Judge Kennedy sustained the ap. peal. Judge Kennedy remarked that the term of the llcmse made no difference in the case at bar, aa the point raised in the pro test was that of selling; liquor to minors ami that it waa on this ground that he refused the license. Sarins; Clause for Saloons. The saving clause for the Omaha aaloon men, and Judge Kennedy touched on tha point, Is that the saloons or Omaha are controlled by an appointive Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, appointed by the governor of the state, whose term of office Is from January 1 to January 1. As that is the term of the governor, It Is naturally the term of the board created by the governor, so the contention la. Judge Kennedy overruled the protest against the granting of a lHne to George Bruenkant for a saloon at 1801 St. Mary's avenue. The fire and police commissioners had granted a license over a protest that the saloon was too clcse to the new Young Women's Christian Association building and the Young Men's Christian Association building.

LOW RATE COMPACT BROKEN Never Again, Say Railroads, but Union Pacific Does. REDUCED FARES TO KANSAS CITY Speelal Rates Are Made to I, amber men's Convention and Once Again an "Ironclad" Agreement Is Smashed. Although the announcement has been made that the railroads of the west would refuse during the year 1909 to make any reduced rates, a break has been made by tbe Union Pacific, which announces some remarkably low rates for the meeting of the Southwest Lumbermen's association at Kansas City, January 22 to January 28. Announcement has been made that tbe roads during the year expected to make the 2-cent rate the minimum as well as the maximum as required by law and that no conventions would be able to secure the reduced rates. This policy wss adopted two years ago and was carried out for a year, but last year several breaks were' made. Several state fairs were given low rates, the Nebraska state fair being given 1 cent a mile by the Union Pacific and Ak-Bar-lien was given 1 cent a mile by the Union Pacific and a fare and a third by the other- roads. Then the railroads tightened - up and announced that a new policy would be adopted and the Corn ex position .secured low- rates east of the Missouri river, but none west. Then came another announcement that furthes meetings of high officials of the roads had been held In Chicago, at which it was announced reduced rates were a thing of , the past. On the heels of this comes the announcement of the Union Pa cific that from points In Kansas and Ne braska nd Colorado a rate of one fare for the lund trip will be given to the lumbermen's convention from January 22 to 28, and besides on Jsnuary 26, a special train will be run from Denver to Kansas City, on which the fare will be 112.80 for the round trip, the usual fare for one way being 614.36. This lower rate Is good for one train only. Park Blory Fiction. Local railroad officials take no stock In the announcement that W. L. Park is to become head of the operating department ef the Harriman lines, a story which eminated from Denver, Mr. Park, who is general superintendent of the Union Pa cific and Is recognised as one of the lesdlng operating officials of the country, ia now on special work for Julius ' Kruttschnltt, who is In charge of operation and man tenance cf way of the Harriman lines. When he was assigned to this special work it was reported that he was simply looking over the Harriman lines to report where sny Improvement might be made In the operation of trains over mountain grades. Railway Notes and Personals. Charles T. Mandel Is now traveling pas senger agent for the Cllnchfleld route. Andv Travnor. general baggage agent ot the Union Pacific, has gone to Chicago. C. R.

Secretary William Hay-ward of the na tional repulbican committee spent a few hours In Omaha Saturday en route from Chicago to his home In Nebraska City, where he will look after some private legal malt;ri. Mr. Hayward aald he was not Informed as to the possibility of his being appointed or. made vice chairman ot the committee and his knowledge of the matter was lim ited to what stories he had seen in the r ewspiprs. "I am secretary, subject to the orders of the committee, and that's all I can say," said Colonel Hayward. The headquarters of the secretsry are In Chicago, where Mr. Hayward will return in a few days and continue in that office. BURGESS OR BUCH0LZ. WHICH? One of These Mea Will Be Caalrataa of Commercial t in a Exeea tlve Committee. The chairmanship of the executive com mittee of the Commercial club for tha coming year lies between W. M. Burgess and W. H. Buchols. It Is certain that ths chairman will be chosen from among ths committeemen who have been re-elected and the choice among these Is narrowed down by various circumstances to the two named. Burgess Is thought to have the better chance. There are several others ? who would be likely randidstea, bat whose private affairs would render It Impossible for them to serve. Either Edgar Allen, T. A. Fry or C. H. Pickens could have the position if he desired It, but it Is declared that none of these does. Unless one of the men elected to the committee Friday resigns there must be a settlement by pulling straws for position on the committee between David Cole and J. B. Rahm. These two tied fur last place and tbe board of directors announced both elected not being In a position to settle the matter In any other way. Accordingly Cole and Rahm will cut cards for It or let chance settle It In some other way. Last year the same situation existed, F. W. Judson and E. A. Hinrlchs tloing. Jud son, who was elected Friday, withdraw and left the place to Hinrlchs. REVIEW OF TRADE FOR WEEK R. G. Don Says Business for First Half of Month Shows Expected Progress. NEW TORK, Jan. 16.-R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, tomorrow will say: Trade during the first half of January shows expected progress. Now undertakings are encouraged by the more settled policy regarding lurne financial and Industrial affairs and ample funds are available. Leading industries gradually increase work ing forces and output and while In most lines both continue below normal the gains established in the closing months of last year are fully maintained. Disappointment is manifest in ths iron and stoel markets, demand lacking snap and requirements coming out in a hesitating way. better buy ing was expected owing to cheap money and owing to the' fact that the entire coun try is practically bare of finished gcMXls. Little inquiry Is received from the railroads. Some weakness Is noted in pig iron. Good inquiries are received from pipe mills and one large block is under negotiation. Busi ness in rails continues veiy quiet. Wire products show the nearest approach to normal activity. A slow and weaker market for coke followed the Increased production and the smaller shipments hsve resulted in larger slocks. Perceptible improvement appears In the primary markets for cotton goods and prices are held much more firmly. A re vival of export demand la a potent factor In tbe direction of strengthening the mar ket, the China trade having taken some 1.0U0 to 2O.O0U bales since the beginning of tbe year and buyers for export are expe riencing some difficulty in securing de livery. The event of the week in the woolen maiket has been the opening of staple worsteds by the leading producer with prices showing an upward tendency. Yarn prices have declined and tha market con tinues Inactive. Buyers from the south and the west are now appearing personally In the Boston market and some fair orders have been piaced, the bulk of tbe present demand be ing for spring goods. While Jobbers are hesitating to pay the higher prices de manded by manufacturers for many lines the Interest generally shown In the market points to a good normal business aa soon aa price oil Terences are adjusted. Calf grades are In favor for the footwear, while the heavy staples ere in best demand for medium and low priced linns. The domesilc hide market shows increased activity and prices for country hides have advanced sharply. Foreign hides are generally firm wiin sales increased. BltADSTREET'l REVIEW OF TRADE Changes In General Business Bltna tloa Are Largely Favorable. NEW YORK, Jan. lC-Bradstreet's tomor row will say; Changes In the general business situation are lamely favorable. Spring orders are being placed in fairly liberal quantities at the larger eastern centers, and traveling salesmen are sending In conservatively op timistic orders. In various Hues the prospects of tariff re vision tunds to develop a csrtaln degree of hesitancy in making large future commit ments, and as a matter of fact some con tracts now being entered into contain classes which provide for new prices in the event of existing tariff schedules being re arranged. Exceptions to the quite general rule of slow but steady improvement are furnished by cltiea In the southern cotton bell, where trade la still backward and where confi dence as regards the future Is not so marked, but in the industrial centers things are certainly lmprovUig. Although business In the Iron and steel ,lnes Is not appearing in the volume expected belief lu forthcom ing taritl revisions wing somewhat of a deterring Influence, industries in general are In belter shape. Lines especially favored this week at re tail were heavy wearing apparel, footwear and coal, while cotton goods are, more ac tive at iirst nanas at large eastern centers. Heavy sules of print clothes have been made at Kail River, and some printed goods are higher. Export trade in cottons has Improved and takuigs of sheetings since January 1 are estui.ated at 26.0UU bales.
