GUESTS OF COHMESCIAL CLUB Affair Is1 U TabU Deera tlaa, Which Inclad Mlalatar nilrMl Inttm U Alatl ' . Warklac Ortfr, President -A. I Mooter and his associ ates of the Union Pacific railroad were guests st a banquet at the 'Commercial club Thursday given by the Commercial club In honor of Mr. , Uohler's elevation to t$ prfftdency of.tbe road. 1 Befldes being marketf by 'many ezpres- stons of good will between railroad offi cials and the business Interests of the city, the banquet was made a memorable one by its unique setting. A complete miniature reproductloa of the Union Pa cific, with double tracks, block sfctnal system, rolling stock, depots and tele graph lines extended tbe entire length of the long table set In the form of the letter U. The entire plant was electri fied. Two or three trains plied back and forth from "Omaha" to "Ban Francisco," the semaphores of the blocking signal system showed at the proper time and the telegraph instruments In the four little depots, connected with the chief dispatcher's office la the Union-station. ticked out every trsln order, just as it went out on the real Union Pacific Great Night for Wrecks. There were more wrecks on the Union Pacific last night than' In any five years of the road's previous history. The first on was very early In the evening, when a happy banqueter placed an oyster on the half shell on the track In front of the flying Overland Limited and threw that train and Its. whole load of passen gers Into the ditch. Next a spreading rail threw a train of live stock Into the ditch somewhere between Cheyenne and North Platte. Then someone dropped his menu on the track near Salt Lake City and a McKeen motor oar flew the track. K1v or six rear end collisions enlivened the evening. The little cars and locomotives were perfect reproductions of the Union Pa cifio rolling stock, even to the name of the road and numbers on them. The en gines carried eleotrlo headt.'ghts. It re quired 1.M0 ties to lay the road, which It stretched out In a straight line, would have extended more than a block. Dr. F. II. Mlllaner, electrical wlsard of the Union roclflc. was general manager, su perintendent, trainmaster, roadmastsr and section boss of the road. In aldUloa to the miniature railroad, roses decorated the tables. The room, with a picture of E. II. Ilarrlmaa at one end In the center, was decorated with palms and greenery and a myriad of col ored electrlo lights. Tbe dinner, prepared under direction of Steward Pryor .of the Commercial club, was full of pleasing surprises, such as a cherry and grape fruit salad. In which ine cnerries were siuiiea wun lUDeris, and a nessclrode pudding representing an Immense egg In a nest, the nest being made of candy drawn Into fine threads. Barcesa la Taastaaaster. Ward M. Burgess presided as toast master and Introduoed President A. L. Mohler. Oeneral Bollultor N. H. ' Lootnla and Vice President J. A. Munroe of the Union Pacific, James E. Kelby of the Burlington and President David Cole and W. B. Wright of the Commercial club. In responding to the toast, "Our Oueot," Mr. Cole said that It the eastern terminus of the Union Paclflo had not been located here, Omaha would now be about aa big 'as Ptattamouth or Blair. The business men of Omaha were glad, he said, that an Omaha man had been made president of this road and they could be assured that "where Omaha l(, there will he be also." He related some of tba history of the road, paid a compli ment to K. II. Itarrlman and unveiled the picture of Harrtman In the rear of the speakers' table. Mr. Cole read telegrams from Robert 8. Lovett, L. J. Bpence, Julius Krutt schnltt and J. C. Stubbs of the Harrim&n lines, also from E. H. Wood and Charles J. Lane of the Omaha offices, express ing regret that they could not be present. Mohler Expresses Krieadshlp. Mr. " Mohler replied briefly, expressing his appreciation of the ovation tendered him, satisfaction ' with the commercial development of the cTty and the friendly feeling existing between the people of the city and his road, and the belief that the development of the city and Its sur rounding territory has but fairly begun. He sold he felt tempted to scold the clubmen a little, to give them a lot of figures from the railroad standpoint, but he was too happy to do any scolding. W. 8. Wright, responding to the toast 'The Overland." told of the Union Pacific, past, present and future. He saw n vision of the future Union Pacific, with a massive stone bridge and four trucks across the Missouri river; a new passenger depot which Impressed blm as much like the Pennsylvania terminal In New Tork City, though larger; and subway tracks running out to Twenty-fourth street, went of which were giant terminals with hundreds of factories; magnificent docks along the river bank and the nver rilled with steamers. His vision included the destiny of the present Union Pacifio officials, Mr. Mohler to become chairman of the board of directors of the Harrlman lines, Mr. Monroe to take Mr. Mohler'a present position and Mr. Lane to become "com missioner of railways" of the United States. , N. H. Locrals, general solicitor of the Union Pacific, replied to Mr. Wright. He said the banquet. In conjunction with the near approach of Christmas remlndod him of "Peace on earth, good will to railroad." He saw, he said, a de termination on the part of the public, Business Men of Omaha Honor President A. L. Mohler I " 1 ' ' 1 - -TV- .:, ; :; 'j V" W J" f u t , -' V-. v' " V.

' V that the just rights of railroads are to be respected. Loomis Tells af Mohler. The interests of the road and the city always have been, closely linked, he said, and the present r.nrrilnl rela tions existing between the public and the union racino are due to the policies of Mr.' Mohler. who had ma rial rtnaalhU U new headquarters building for Omaha and under whose personal direction as vice presiaent and general manager the road had increased Its double track mileage from 100 miles to 700 miles. Its block signal system from 100 miles to over 2,000 miles and had Imnrnv.H it. roadbed and train service in every respect. as long as Mr. Mohler remains head of the Union Pacific," he said, "the cltl sens of Omaha will havs no Just cause ior compiaim. as to its Interests being neglected." J. E. Kelby of the Burlington, said that nine-tenths of the union men m ployed br the Union Pacific "are for' Mr. Monier. Mr. Kelby Jocosely remarked that the Union Pacific was a bellv.i. i evolution, but got on the other aide and began to "stgreaats" itself soon &rt. it.. supreme court decision in the tobacco trust case. J. A. Munroe. frelcht trsffln of the Union Pacific, paid a tribute to Mr. Mohler and E. H. Harrlman and told of the remarkable development of the Union Pacific aa he saw it on a recent trip, no said more consideration should be given railroad stockholders. "We sometimes forget, when the legis lature is in session," he said, "that we owe an obligation to those in the east who invent their money In the develop, meat of the west, getting in return a rale on their Investment that you men would not be willing to take In your bust nee s."
