Nelson H. Loomls, general aollcltor of
the Union Pacific, will be detained for
two month In New York ana Washing
ton, the significance of which statement
is that the Harrlmao legal family la ar
rayed for a fight to the finish against the
dissolution of the Hjuthern Parlflc-Unlon

BWSt
Mr.' Loomla has been eaat on thia mls
lon for many weeks, lie la one of the
principal counsel In the oaaa.
Th railroad world haa faith In tho de
feat of the order. Or, If the order la up
held by tha supreme oourt, then, railroad
man assert, . the moat that will be done
will ba tha aegregatlan of the varloua prop
artlea constituting tha Southern Pacific
from San Francisco down around the
lower and of California with their ram If I
eatlone In tha southwest ana on .0 New

Omaha to San Franclaco, which la con
tlnoua, despite the fact that It la called
Union Pacific from Omaha to Ogrtrn nnfl
Southern Paolflc from there to the coaat,
will be left Intact. Thia line, the old Cen
tral Paclflo on the weat and Union Pa
cific on the eaat, waa built contemporane
ously and Joined by the celebrated 'golden
aplke at Promontory Point, I'tah, and haa
always been, to all practical purposes one
line of railroad.
West A oral net Dlaaolatloa.
The railroad Interests urge that Omaha
In particular nd San Franclaco on tho
west, as the termini of thia line, and the
whole west Intervening, are anxious that
tha merger be not applied o thlB transcon
tinental line.' :
Well posted financial authorities In New
Tork state that the Union Paclflo haa re
cently acquired lU.OOO.Oqp and $17,000,000 ad
ditional Southern Paclflo common atock,
or enough to give the' Union Pacific a
controlling Interest of 51 per cent in the
Southern Pacific. Union Pacific haa owned
for soma yeara 46 per cent of combined
common and preferred atocka.
The story has this element of plausi
bility that tha legislation which Prealdent
Taft has recommended provides that where
a road already owns 51 per cent of the
stock of another company It may acquire
tha balance. The move on the part of the
Union Paclflo Is believed to be In the
general plan of obtaining . absolute con
trol of tha Southern Pacific. .

the mayor. "Then I am coming home and
open up my campaign for governor with
tho determination to keep it humming
right up to primary day."
Asked what he expected Governor Shal
lenbergtr to do touching the senatorial con
Ust, Mayor Dahlman said:
"I don't know and I don't care. I know
what 1 am going to do, and that la just
what I announced last summer. I am
going to win the nomination for governor
of Nebraska, no matter how many or hoV
few candidates are In the field. Hhallen
berger wants to run for senator, lam told,
and while he hesitates about entering, my
campaign will be pretty well under way.
No graso will be allowed to grow under
my feet after I get the procession In mo
tion, and that will be right soon.
"I am taking this trip now,, so, that 1
will not have to stop and go away after
the campaign starts In earnest. For a
good many years I was used to the most
active kind of life. Just sitting around
doesn't agree with me the very beat, and
a week or two at the Springs will put
me In fighting fettle."

It fairly well and the condolences extended
by some persons to officers of the bank
seem to have been premature.
The First National bank has an account
of I'rr.OOO against the Hanaon ertate. This
Is reduced by $,000 by the life Insurance
which the bank held as collateral for loans.
It also had a first mortgage on the Han
son residence and the house next door
which are estimated at M,000. This l'ave
a balance of 7,000. Again.-- this the bank
has a quantity of stock of the Courtney
company, worth at par value $30,000.
There will be a fight over the securing
by the bank of Tolf Hanson's real estate.
his residence and the house next door. It
la contended that the property waa trana
frrred after Mr. Hanson had become in
solvent and that the bank was therefore an
unduly preferred creditor.
Next to the Flrat National tho heaviest
creditor Is John Hartc, contractor, who
claims $17,000. Mr. Hurt has no security
except the claim of a mechanic's lien on
the building, and over this he and G. E.
Shukert may litigate.
Mr. Leary recently filed a trustee's re

CHAUTAUQUA TRUST LATEST

PI pea.
Rumor of a proposed combination of all
I he Lyceum and Chautauqua bureaus In
the country havo reached Omaha. The
proposal, as outlined. Involves the cutting
out of all platform people except those who
have proved the best drawing cards for tho
box office and the placing of these on a
yearly salary basis.
Judge Lee S. Estelle, who has been doing
Chautauqua work now for two years, says
he does not believe such a combination can
be made, although he believes there are
men In the business of handling platform
attractions who would bo glad to make
such a coup If they could.
"There are men In great demand all over
the country," said Judge Estelle, "who
could not be engaged by the year for any
price. At present there are some men who
are paid by the year and sent to any place
they may be called for by the people who
buy and sell talent. These men make
platform work a life business. But beyond
all this, there are too many Independent
Chautauqua circuits to make such a com
bination possible or profitable. Some of
these make money and some do not. In
this state and , In others. There will al
ways be competition In this rapidly de
veloping Una of educational work, in my
judgment, because what one section wants
another section does not want, and a man
or a group of people that will make a hit
and fatten the box office receipts In Ne
braska might be a total failure In an ad
joining state."

The "no smoking" order Is to be rigidly
enforced in the general headquarters build
ing of the Burlington route.
Hereafter clerks and stenographers will
have to do all their smoking outside of
office hours, and If they must smoke dur
ing the noon hour. It must be done outside
the building. A smoke nuisance order has
always been In effect In the building, but
It has not been enforced.
The very letter of the law Is to be obeyed
hereafter. It's all because a boy In the
building approached one of the officials,
not knowing who he was, and asked for a
match.
The boy had Just completed rolling a
cigarette and waa pulling the strings of a
tobacco sack with his teeth when an elderly
man came into the hall. ,
"Bay, mister; gimme a match," said the
boy.
The railroad . official stopped suddenly,
looked upon his small audience with sur
prise, and said:
"You won't do any smoking In this build
ing, young man; It's against the rules."
The next morning a bulletin was Issued
from the office Tf the general manager,
Oeorge W. Holdrege, saying that smoking
Is absolutely prohibited In the building and
that offenders will be punlBhed.
Clerks who have the pipe, cigarette and
