HARRIMAN ROAD TO BORE
HOLE IN SIERRA NEVADAS
The most expensive piece of work that
has ever been undertaken by the Harrl
man system of roads is about to be
authorized and it is expected that work
will begin early next spring. It consists
of boring a hole through the base of the
Sierra Nevada mountains between Blue
! Canyon and Truckee, Cal. '
The tunnel that the Harriman people
ire about to, construct will be the long
t. in the "world, approximately 30,000
Teet, and the estimated cost will be 110,
CO.O00. . .' ' .
" The building of the tunnel through' the
Sierras will not be any great distance
iaver, but the saving will come' about' by
reason of the climb that will be elimin
ated. At this time there Is a climb of
over 1,000 feet on each side of the moun
tains and it is so steep that it is neces
iary. to have double headers on every
;raln. -Even then trains move slowly and
i much time is lost. It will be a water
rade through the tunnels and all trains
islng It will be electrified, thus doing
iway with smoke and coal gas from en
gines. .

Refusal of City Prosecutor Anheuser
to file a complaint against Charles
Stiller, a saloon keeper at' 434 South
Thirteenth street, arrested Saturday
night in a raid, has resulted In a dis
agreement between Anheuser and Police
Magistrate Foster, which may be aired
in district court
Although no complaint was filed, the
case against Stiller was entered upon the
police court docket and continued until
September 25. On order of Mayor Dahl
man the bonds of the Inmates and Stiller,
w-i-rtinif to fMO, were returned.
Anheuser .maintains there was not
enough evidence in the case to warrant
him to file a complaint He says It was
...i.tu . netting over Stlllers
place of business and that lunch ' and
refreshments were served.; Anheuser also
accuses Judge Foster of usurping his
powers and insists that a case cannot be
tried in police court unless he files a
complaint. '
Judge Foster replied to Anheuser by
gi1ng him a letter setting forth the
duty of the prosecuting attorney and the
police judge. Anheuser in return1 replied
with a letter stating his position and
making charges against Judge Foster.
Corporation Counsel Baker advised Tom
O'Connor, clerk of the police court, to
return all forfeited bonds where no com
plaint was filed against the defendants.
Judge Fosterln a written communication
to O'Connor- ordered him not to return
the bonds. ;
On the outcome of the Stiller case will
depend the settlement of the police court
wrangle, which has been brewing for
some time. '

City Commissioner McGovern of the de
partment of public Improvements fays
"there is no honor attached to a gentle
man on the city commission who at
tempts to override the authority of the
head of any other department."
Commissioner Hummel had asked for
an appropriation to go to Atlantic City
to attend a meeting of the American
Road congress. George W. Craig, city
engineer, was also made a delegate In
a resolution Introduced In the city coiuicil
by C. H. Withnell, commissioner of fire
protection and water supply.
McGovern had told the council he
couldn't spare Craig, didn't have money
and opposed sending delegates to a lot
of meetings when all the good derived
was to the health of the delegates.
Why McGovern Objects.
."We haven't any money," he said, "and
we need this $400. We have been send
ing councllmen to conventions every year,
and all they bring back Is a report which
we cannot follow because we haven't
any money."
Mr .Hummel said as the f edei al govern
ment Intended to exhibit and demonstrate
at this congress he thought Omaha ought
to be represented. '
Mayor Dahlman had to pound the table
for order when the discussion waxed bit
ter and personalities replaced arguments.
Mr. Withnell consented to withdraw
his resolution and Hummel says he will
introduce another delegating himself to
go alone.
Frequent clashes occurred In the city
council in the last few weeks over the
assumption of authority by one com
missioner to dictate to another what shull
be done in the latter's department.
Commissioner Butler says this is In
violation of the spirit of the commission
law and stood by McGovern in demand
ing the withdrawal of Wlthnell's resolution.

Wife's Actions Make
PhillipsTry Death
After having forgiven his wife on
several occasions for alleged unwomanly
actions, Omer Phillips, a blacksmith liv
ing In Beatrice, followed her to Omaha
Sunday afternoon when she ran away
from him and her 6-year-old son again,
and was arrested upon the woman's com
plaint, as a suspicious character. He was
lodged In jail, but in some manner a
small vial of carbolic acid was overlooked
by the prison officials when he was
searched. Last night he attempted to
commit suicide by drinking It.
Police Matron Gibbons was talking to
him at the time and her presence of mind
and ability to hold his attention while the
roison was taken from him saved his
life.. Phillips said that If he cannot
effect a reconciliation with his wife he
does not care to live. His case will be
Investigated today by the police. Mrs
Phillips Is living at 3816 Chicago street
now and the child is being cared for at
Beatrice by its grandparents.

Over 100 'delegates to the second con
vention of the Bohemian Free Thought

honorary chairman. Dr. F. Iska, Chi
cago; secretaries,' J. A. Uhl, Prague,
Neb.; Stanley Serpah, Omaha; F. J.
Janak, Omaha,"
The morning work consisted almost
entirely of the appointment of com
mittees, the most important of these be
ing the committee on resolutions which

lowing delegates: F. Kraislnger, Kansas;
F. W. Gnibbhofer, Iowa; Anton Flalo,
Ravenna. Neb.; 'F. J.' Rtotak,', Omaha;

ATLANTIC FLEET IS TO
VISIT THE PANAMA CANAL
George Von L. Meyer, secretary of the
navy, has planned the .winter cruise of
the Atlantio fleet to Include a trip to
Colon, Panama, In order that the crews
of the vessels of the fleet may have an
opportunity of inspecting the rreatest
construction of modern times.
A trip to the big canal and across the
Isthmus to the Pacific ocean during the
period of construction will be of such
great interest to the enlisted force of the
navy that Secretary Meyer has deter
mined to reserve the necessary time from
the winter maneuvers In the Caribbean
to enable the sailormen to make this trip
before the work has advanced to com
pletion. .
It Is probable that special trains will
be provided by the authorities of-the isth
mus to transport the men to all points
of Interest along the route of the canal.
"Can Police Commissioner Ryder pro
hlbit peddlers crying their wares on the
streets!" asks City Commissioner Dan
Butler.
City Attorney Rlne is looking up the
question, but in the meantime Is of the
opinion that the police commissioner can
prohibit nearly anything on the streets.
'Peddlers say they are being persecuted
and have submitted a lengthy communl
cation to the council pleading for less
stringent regulation.
Butler says -Ryder's order to the police
department to arrest peddlers who cry
their wares In loud and strident voice Is
very unfair. ,
He asks the legal department for an
opinion. Mr. Rlne fays if there is an
ordinance against the thing Rider's po
sition Is clear and he has full power and
authority.
Attornr'a Opinion.
"There Is some doubt as to whether he
can do it unless these men are a publlo
nuisance," says the city attorney.
First Assistant City Attorney Lambert
declares that peddlers arrested for vlo'
latlng the police commissioner's ruling
will have to stand on the merits of each
Individual case.
Peddlers affirm that since the sudden
death of the weights and measures ordi
nance they have been worried to death.
Butler Is championing their cause before
the city council.
An organization of grocers circulated
petitions to bring that weight ordinance
to a referendum vote, but the petitions
have never been filed and as the fifteen
days since the passage of the ordinance
have elapsed a referendum cannot now
be called, ' '
LOOK FOR THE PATCHES

"If the street railway company does
not Increase its profits this year It will
not be for want of practicing economy,"
remarked a paneuge on the car. "Just
look at those straps that have been
patched by Inserting a new piece where
they have been worn through by strap
hangers." Look for the spliced straps.

Justice Edward Leeder Is today three

'. has but ten more years to live. Judging
J from the appearance of the Jovial justice
. his estimate would seem to fall far short,
": for a more vigorous man of his years
would be hard to find. For the past
three years Judge- Leeder has been de-
elding legal controversies, but previous
: to this he was connected with the Omaha
" fire department" where he was instru
; mental In securing the twelve hour shift
j In place of the twenty-four hour period.
' The judge had been planning to spend
his birthday In Kansas City where he
was scheduled to speak before a meeting
of the Kansas City firemen who have re
cently adopted the twelve hour shift,
but owing to the illness of his wife he
has been forced to forgo the trip. Judge
Leeder is a strong advocate of the twelve
' hour working day for ' firemen and has
helped to secure It for a number, of cities
