THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1000 10 COSCROYE STILL DELVING Dcputx City Comptroller Reports on; Cleveland Detroit. PURCHASING AGENT SAVES MONET Explain 9ana of l ow Far Ical In Turn Johnaon'a To nna Ont llnva he Polbllll of De troit Situation. TVputy City Comptroller Fr1 H.

In thoae towns. Mr. Cooirrovft.Raya he flnda that In Cleve Icnd 40 per cont.of all pacspnRpra runted are on the -crnt fare, and that an or dinance la pending to have all carried at 3 cent. Thcr are qualification, however. On the S-crtit lines a passenger will ltd a tranafor for 1 cent additional, and If he uip It within ten mlnutca he (tela a refund of 1 cent from the conductor. On the 3 cent llnca double fare la exacted, and when transfer Is used 1 cent la refunded; or, 'n other words, a aeries of 8-cent discs Is (old for I cents onch In quantities of five or more. For a BinKe ride one disc Is re quired, but to transfer calls for an addi tional disc, and the transfer brings a penny rebate when presented for a rldf. There la no transfer on a transfer except to certain stub lines. Creutca rr Office. The ordnance now pending will create the office of street railway commissioner, and will provide that the Initial fare on all lines shalV bp 1 cents on a sliding seals which reaches 4 cents cash fare and 1 cent for a transfer. This, ordinance la to be submitted to a referendum vote. Mr. Cosgrove says Cleveland has a city examiner and a 'purchasing agent with the most complete accounting system he has yet come across. The city examiner goes through all reports and accounts of offi cials and offlcea of the city, as well aa the reports of the various corporations paying any sort of tax. The purchasing agent has paid the expense of maintaining his office the first year by securing cash discounts, close prices and through the economical system of handling stationery and other minor supplies. Detroit Renting- Its Streets. Of the existing situation in Detroit Mr. Cofgrove writes that the street railway's franchise expired Saturday nulght last and an agreement has been reached by which the company pays $300 a day aa street rent until a settlement is reached. Under the old franchise the company paid l'A and 2 per cent of its gross revenues. The Omaha official was surprised to find that no rep resentative of the city of Detroit checked the books of the company to ascertain the amount 'of revenue, "the city comptroller and others taking It for granted the Trac tion company was truly an, accurately reporting its receipts." No personal tax was assessed on the company and last year the revenue to the city was about tf&.OOO. Mr. Cosgrove gained the impres sion the present f,lght between the city and the company will result ultimately In mu nicipal ownership. "They levy two kinds of tax here," writes the Omaha investiga tor, "specific and ad valorem, and to tell you half I have heard on this subject to day would fill no mean voliime." Sinking- Fond Commission. In Detroit the sinking fund commission frequently bids in city ' bonds and ells them to local people in any number from one up. The city bonds draw only SYj per cent, but ' Mr. Cosgrove says the demand for them by citizens cannot be supplied. He asserts the system works ex cellently. Detroit street railways are S cents and t cent lines. Where the nickel Is charged the company paves between the rails and eighteen Inches outside, and repairs and maintains the came. To the 3 cent lines the city makes the concession of making and maintaining all pavement and con struction under tracks, with six Inches of concrete under ties. "This arrangement has been very expensive' to the city," says Mr. Cosgrove cost of repairs having run to $2,000," He says the requisition and the voucher system used In Detroit is the best e has seen. "When Mr.. Cosgrove gets home. In about two weeks," said the city comptroller, "we Kill have all the Information necessary to prepare blanks that will bring us all the revenue the city is entitled to under oo :upatlon tax and royalty ordinances."

Juflg-e T. C. Munger will decide Thursday noon whether the five train robbers- Matthews. Woods. Grigware, Shelton and Torgenson shall have new trials or go . the federal prison for life. Attorneys Macfarland and Fleharty ar gued their motions before the United States court Monday and he set Thursday noon for his action. Motions for new trials were argued by H. B. Fleharty In the ease of Fill Mat thews and by J. M. Macfarland for Shel- j ton, Grlgware, Woods and Torgenson. The grounds for the motion were: First, that Juror MacNamara was a brother-in-law of one of the witnesses for the cv imment; second, error of law; third, ver dict contrary to the evidence; fourth, evi dence not sufficient to convict; fifth, ver dict the result of prejudice; sixth, verdict contrary to the Instructions of the court. vIt was also held by these attorneys that the news of the attempted Jail break last week had reached the Jury or some of the members of It before the verdict was re turned and had consequently influenced the jurors more or less. District Attorney Goes, In his reply to the arguments of Mr. Fleharty and Mr. Macfarland, characterised them as, triv ial and as not being born out by the actual facts of the trial. How the Convicts Take It. Matthews takes his conviction seriously and thinks that If ha could have secured more witnesses from Idaho he could have proven conclusively that he had nothing whatever to do with the Overland Limited holdup of May 82. Qui, leu (Sheltofi), stilt maintains his in nocence. -. ' I wouldn't be in this Jail ten minutes If I had Jurtloe.' . he said. - P. W. Woods Is somewhat of a humorist, and takes his conviction coolly: "I do not know why they changed my room In the Jail. They never consulted me about it at all," he remarked, "and as for going to Leavenworth, I expect to get a good job as a stone mason. I worked in a stone quarry for fifteen ' years and had charge of gangs of men. j Maybe that's what they want me down there so bad for." ' Grlgware and Torgenson say nothing. Grigwa're Is very hopeful cf getting a new trial and believes his Innocence will be proven should he get a new trial.
