OBJECT TO PROPOSED MTES Packers Say Water Board Would Place Charges Too High. COHFERENCE, BUT NO BESUITS Eltrti Make a Beport, Saying ' tkt Wtlw Ctiiot Be Varnished et Less Taaa Eight Oat , Pee 1,000 Gallons. Representatives of South Omaha pack ing houses and the Mock yards district net with the Water board yesterday aft ernoon to protest ag-alnst the increase In water rates from 4 to t cents per 1,000 gallons, which three consulting engineers hired by the Water board say la Justi fiable. The packers said ttay would be willing to pay ( cents snd believed that was all the service Was worth to them. R. C. Cole, representing Armour, said the pack ers could build a plant and pump their own water for 4 rents. President E. Buckingham of the stock yards, H. 0. Edward of Swift and Com pany, H. 8. Culver of Morris A- Co., W. I Selby, with Swift snd Company and also representing Morris A Co., and Amos Henely, representing Cudahy, attended the meeting snd protested against the Inorcng?. ,,. Prof. O. V. P. Stout of the University of Nebraska. M. L. Hoi man of St. Louis arid Wynkoop Kleretead of Kmrnm City, the Water board's consulting engineers, were unanimous In the report they sub mitted that to furnish water to the stock yards and packing housa at less than t cents per l.OuQ gallons Would be for less than cost, ., ' , ' President Buckingham and the packing house representatives said they would be willing to pay the cost -of "pumping the water the twelve miles from Florence to South OnuUia, including the depredation, the cost of maintenance and the office expense for that section of the main alone. Woodbarr-Coatenialated Increase. Watsr , Commissioner ' Hows-ll declared such a scheme was not feasible because It would ultimately reduce the board to a position where It Would have to have a board of experts to compute th cost of delivering water; to each Individual con sumer, and make a charge based on up that. ' V John L Webster, the board's attorney, laid President Woodbury of the old water company Intended to Increase the price of water furnished the packers as soon as the contract made fourteen years ago expired. Engineer Hoi man said that Is what ought to have been done as th old com pany was, In his opinion, furnishing water to South Omaha at less than cost, the extra' amount being paid by Omaha consumers. As the stock yards and packing houses consume about 7.000.000 gallons of water dally, which Is nearly a third- Of , the amount pumped by the Florence statics the water board and the representatives of the South Omaha Interests agreed that some' sort of a sliding scale could be ar ranged and the case settled without resort to the courts. On remedv of the situation suggested was the construction of a reservoir in Hnuth Omaha that would hold enough water to supply ths stock ysrds district during the day, the reservoir being filled at night when the pressure Is high, owing to ths decreased consumption. Mr. Howe said that It was costing about a year to "such the water out of the mains" after It had been pumped to South Omaha, The pressure Is so low. he savs. that the packers are eompeueo. to maintain pumps to pull ths water out of the pipes. , FIVE GERMAN COAL MINERS ARE KILLED BY FALL GELSENKIRCHEN, Prusale, Aug. .

COLON, Panama, Aug. 30.-A force of 787 United States marines arrived at Cristobal today on the transport Prairie. They lmmedlaiely entrained for Panama where the will embark on the cruiser California for Corlnto. WASHINGTON. Tug. M.-The 750 marines who sailed from the Philadelphia navy yard last week tor Nicaragua are due at Colon tomorrow. They were transported across the isthmus of Panama on a special train and embarked on the big armored cruiser California, due at Panama tonight or tomorrow morning. The CaUfornia is to leave Panama Im mediately, perhaps touching at San Juan Del Sur, to reinforce a small marine con tingent left at that place by the cruiser Denver, to make sure that the Important cable station is not closed by the rebels. All messages from the American legation at Managua and the American naval commanders at Corlnto must come to San Juan Del Sur In order to reach ths cable, Th California should reach Corlnto Monday night If it covers the 630 miles at top speed. Rear Admiral Sutherland has already announced his purpose of send ing to Managua at least 500 of the marines It carries, and the remainder probably, will be used to patrol the seventy-two miles of railroad connecting the capital with the sea. These reinforcements- will bring , the total American strength in. Nicaragua up to more than 2,000 men ashore and; about 1,000 blue jackets on ships' In the coaital waters on both sides 'of the country. The naval commanders are satisfied that this force will meet present needs, but should the rebels offer more formidable resistance than Is expected to th execution of the policy of protection to American lives and property, then the Tenth Infantry, held in light marching order on the Isth mus since President Taft revoked the order sending It to 'Nicaragua, probably will be moved after all. It Is believed that the rebels will at tempt to stop the movement of American forces along, the wrecked railroad. The greatest obstruction Is expected to be at Leon, which seems to .be th seat of th rebel operations. The difficulties ex pected to be encountered there probably will be relieved by an American fores from Managua, working Its way down the railroad tracks toward Leon. This wlU place the rebel headquarters between two American forces. One cause of concern to the Stste de partment Is the condition of about 125 Americans at Matagalpa In the interior of the republic. Communication to that section Is extremely difficult, The last heard from them told of critical condi tions. The only way or communicauuu ith the American planters is by courier. MANAGUA, Nicaragua.
