I Local Interest relative to retrenchment
; by ths railroads ha become overshadow sd
by tb Illinois Central strike situation, ths
center of which is new hovering ever Chl
. cag-o, but Is rapidly extending out along ths
; lines to every point where a man is em
ployed In ths operating department of ths
road.
1 Information come to Omaha that in and
I srout d Chicago and at all other point
where any l.rge number of men are em
ployed a vote is being taken on the question
of whether or not a strike shall be declared.
It Is said that not only are the men voting
on thi proposition, but are also voting on
the proposition of forever lemalning out
unless their organization are recognised
by the company.
! Illinois Central trainmen coming into
, Omaha are very reticent over the prospect
1 of a strike, maintaining that tn the event
' one Is orucred it will be of long duration.
If the men should go out. railroad officials
here express the opinion tnat it will not
extend to other Harriman lines, coniend
! lng that on them the greateat harmony
! between officials and men sow exists.
So far aa retrenchment ot the L'nion
Pacific is concerned, it 1 generally be
lieved that tbe end has been reacned. All
kind of storiea nave been in circulation aa
to the number of persons temporarily laid
off at the shops, luen employed there,
however, stale that Uie numuer will not
exceed lw and tbe.ee are aii men who arc
practically new in Uie set vice, parucu.ar
attenuon being paid to tbe seniority uf
service ruis 111 relieving the men.
(.ertlaa faaaae He area..
Persons coming from North Piatt state
that xruui tual uity eat 10 uuiana and at
least aa xar west aa bioney the Xoiuas on
the secuona have been reouoed to ins
winter uaaia, one anu xwo men being let
out on eacu aaiig. They, however, state
that the roaabea is in Uie beat cuaaiuun
of uie Union Pauillc ayatem ana Uiat there
la very l.tue to ou oat run over Uie una
and look axusr einergenciea la the avant
they shuuid occur. -
At the ouiah anops, aa well aa at other di
vision po.n.D ou the a stein, there are many
liiie eiifcUiea, yet tne percentage is but a
liacuuu greater than at the same dale
during pies lull years. bUlt, it Ik expected
tiiai moat of these will go into service dur
li.g the lien UiJty Cay a, hauling commod
lUKfc to market.
One reaaon for laying out freight train
is the tact that the run of grass ted catue
1 unusually late this year. Dur.ng the
early part of the summer Oie range was
extremely cry and the grass became pretty !
well burned out. Catue failed to lake on
fleah, but since the rain set in Uie range
has impro.ed until it is in prims oundiuon.
Caitle are fattening with woncienul ra
pidity and within tbe next thirty days there
will be tra.n loads of them coming to the
Omaha market.
Hi aw Price Aatlrlaatrd.
Again. This year the farmers, looking
forward In anticipation of much higher
prices, have been holding their wheat.
This fact has bad much to do with a let
ling down in ths freight business, causina
a corresponding tailing off in ths offices
where train movements and the movements
of tbe freight is handled. Now the wheat
it ia sa.d, has commenced to move at a
fairly lively rate, and this alone, it is pre
dicted, will give considerable impetus to
business. 1
The California fruit traffic has been much
Uter thD u"uaJ ltii tlc " rreat
measure has held eaatuound business from
th. Parific cuuit down to the maximum.
Now, though, the grape crop is ready to
move and the output of the central portion
! of the state, alone, is estimated at b.uhi
carloads, of which the Central and the
(t-
Vniun Pacific will handle L.IM) to the east.
At the Union station, where eight men
formerly looked after the care of the pas
senger trains, making temporary repairs,
six are bow doing the work, but they are
kept on the hustle all the time.
In the general office tbe people who
have been relieved tram duty have no iU
feelings against the company, realising
that business has been falling off during
the last six to eight months. At the same
time they realise that they have not bees
discharged, but are taking extended vaca
tions and expect to return to work when
business improves so that their services will
be required.

TAFT TO REYIEW BANK CASE ;
Relation of National City Bank to
Subsidiary Company Involved.
TWO CABINET OFFICERS DIFFER
Attwraey Or era I llellevea Holdlaa; of
Mark la Other C'oiasiaales by Beak
Is lllrsral MeeVeagh Takes
Caatrarr View.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 23 Secretary Mac
Vearh will not make any derision at this
time upon Attorney General Wlckeraham
report, which holds that the relation of
the National City bank of New Tork and
the National City company mav be a trans
gresRlon of the national banking laws. Be
cause of what 1 believed to be a difference
of opinion between the two cabinet officers
all the paper tn the case will be sent to
President Taft at Beverly.
That President Taft would review the
case developed suddenly today as Secretary
MacVeagh was ready to make public the
attorney general's findings and his own
d eels. on. For that reason he declined to
give any intimation of hi position, but It
is known that nearly all his advisers feel
that If any definite attitude toward the
extension of the influence of national banks
Into trust companies and securities com
panies were announced at this time, the
whole question of financial legislation
might be entangled when it comes up at
the next session of congress with the mone
tary commission report.
Mr. Wlckersham's findings deal directly
only with the reported holding by the
National City bank of other bank stock
througt, the medium of the National City
company. The question of the interest of
national banks in trust companies arose
aa a consequence of three findings, and
i oireoieo to in u.r
I holdln of th Continental-Commercial
' N"-'-loJ nf Chicago. In the Conti-
Ileniai ana commercial a rust cuuipKiir
Attorney General Wlckersham takes the
position that centralisation of banking
companies might take place If national
banks were allowed to acquire the stock;
of other hanking Institutions. The Treas
ury department for about ten years has
been tacitly approving such relationship
with certain limitations. In order that the
national institutions might meet the com
petition of state banks, which usually
ojerate under very liberal provisions. Aside
from the question of the public policy,
Secretary MacVeagh's advices, it is said,
that no provision of the national bank act
has been violated.

Big Ransom Paid for
German Engineer
Held by Bandits
Dr. Edmund Richter Rescued After
Long; Captivity in Macedonia
Captive of Grek Society.
BERLIN. Aug. 23 A dispatch from
Salonika. Turkey, today states thst Dr
j Edmund PJchter. the German engineer who
was captured by Greek bandits and held
for a ransom of tZE..MP. ha been rescued
on the Greek frontier and Is returning to
Salonika.
Dr. Kichter was enfrared in mapping on
Mount Olympus, In the wild frontier region
between Turkey and Greece, under the
auspices of a German geographical society
w hen he fell Into the hands of the brigand
on May 25. The capture took pace Inside
Turkith territory and hi escort of Turkish
gendarmes was killed. Letter from La'.tos,
the bandit leader, demand. ng a ransom
were delivered by Turkish villagers.
The German government acted promptly
and a small army of Turkish soldiers was
sent in pursuit of the bandits. At the
same time representatives of the German
government and of the geographical so
ciety scoured the mountains, taking with
them the gold for the ransom of the doctor.
For weeks the search was without result.
Recently news dispatch es stated that the
pursuit had neen abandoned as It bad been
learned definitely that Richter was held
in Tiranovoe on Greek territory in the
bouse of one iHvyannis. The news dis
patches alto Insisted that the doctor, like
Miss Ellen Stone, the American missionary
who wa held by a Bulgarian band In 191
for IG6.O00. had been captured not by ordl
rary mountain brigands, but by the Greek
National society, the capture being or
ganized by Captain Strati, formerly a
Greek officer who once lived in America,
and that the affair was an incident of the
border warfare between detachments of
Greok and Bu'garians.
The ransom, it was assumed, wa destined
to further the parti sun warfare breaking
out anew In Macedonia.
