Who would they nsk? They would ask mothers who have raised babies

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.

YEAR ENDS IN MAY, KENNEDY
Jndpe Expresses Opinion as to Liquor

CASE COMES UP ON PROTEST
Crt Mirttlu OTkJ4l0 Dafcmks

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.

last session of the federal grand Jury on
the charge of swindling several Omaha
Jewelry firms and wholesale houses by
securing consignment ot goods from them
on the plea that he was opening out a
branch establishment ' for a Washington
Jewelry firm, and securing the consign
ments would sell them and then disappear.
Most of his transactions are alleged to
have been conducted through tbe United
States' malls, -hence his Indictment for
using the malls fat fraudulent purposes.
Llpkia emphatically denies the charges
Implied In the Indictment ai d alleges that
he Is not a fugitive from Justice from the
fact that he did not know that any In
dictment had been found" against blm,

tion, and that he will be able to clear him
self completely when the case comes to
trial.
The arrest of Lipkla was brought about
through Investigations of the postofflce
Inspectors' department.

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.

"DON'T KNOW." SAYS HAYWARD
Nebraska Man Gives No Light as to
His Beeoailair Natloaal
Chairmen.
. 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

Mr. Bchnoor is brother of the Inventor
ot the crane, which catches and delivers
the mail pouches, according to tbe govern
ment Inspectors, better than any other
crane made. Aa soon ss It became Appar
ent that the government would adopt this
crane Mr. echnoor assured tbe Commercial
club ot Omaha that tbe' cranes would bn
made In Omaha and a company would be
organised which would be prepared to Un
derbid all concerns which might desire to
furnish, tbe crane to the Postofflce depart
ment and pay his brother a royalty for
tbe use of tbe device. , ,
According to bis agreement, the corpora
tion has been completed and besides the

man bring to it the rlgbt to manufacture
a railway freight car door, a pipe ooupllng
Joint, a cattle and hog killing device and

Use of Werklajr Fovea.
When open for business tbe factory will
employ from fifty to seventy persons on
the start, as two contracts havs been closed
with railroad companies to use the doors
to be "made In Omaha."- Tha company
agrees to furnish some of these doors tor
dt livery before tbe next crop moving
period, which will be In early August. ,
Ths mall pouch crane has been tested on
the Northwestern line from Sioux City to
Missouri Vslley, the government sending
three experts from the Postofflce depart
ment and the Northwestern company a
number of superintendents and officials to
make the test. This was done on two
different occasions, the Northwestern com-.
pany furnishing a special train of mall
cars, run under the direction of Superin
tendent S. H. Brown ot the atoux City di
vision. The train was pulsed by an engine
used on the Kansas City limited, which
leaves Omaha at o'clock each nishl, aad
It is capable of running seventy-five miles
per hour. At this speed the crane caunht
and delivered sacks of sand wsiging y k
ten to seventy pounds. Tbe a verse's i
weighed forty pounds and tha trala waa ma
at speeds from twenty lo ssrsnty-sigtit
miles per hour. The experiments have been
going on at Intervals for over a year and
the Postofflce department now announoes
that It is willing and wants tbe cranes
Installed on specified lines of railroad to
maks an operating test ot six months.
Mr. Schnoor said the company would
