12 THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, MARCII 4, 1913. HEW U. P. OFFICIAL ARRIYES General Passenger Agent W. S. Basinger Takes Over Office. WILL MAKE SOME CHANGES Personnel of Office Wilt Itrmnln About Knmr, lint There Will lie Division of Work In -Thnt Drparlment. "W. & Basinger, recently appointed gen eral passenger agent of the Union Pa cific arrived In Omaha Sunday night and Morday morning took charge of the oltlco. The first thing that he did was to sep arate the advertising nnd colonlxatlon that heretofore have been run In con Junction And In charge of R. A. Smith. This action was UKen after a conference Kith Passenger Traffic Manager Fort. With Mr. Basinger came J. P. Cum mins from the New York offices of the llarriman lines, who was at once In Mailed as the head of the advertising department. Mr. Cummins Is about 26 years of age and was formerly In Denver, where he was a rate clerk In the offices nf the Union Pacific there. Subsequently he waa called to Now Tork by L. J, Bpenee, then director of traffic of the JlArriman system, but now occupying a similar position with the Southern Pa cific. In New Tork Mr. Cummins had charge of tho Atlantic coast advertising for the llarriman roads. R. A. Smith, who has been with the Union Pacific for more than twenty rears, working up from stcnogrnpner to head of tho advertising department. Is not to be dropped from the service, but Instead takes charge of and becomes the head of the oolonlzatlon department This Is regarded as a promotion, as It Is Hie Intention to broaden the scope of the department and make Is much more ef fective than It has been In tho past. In connection with It there Is a probability than an Industrial department will be organized. Mr. Basinger spent most of the morning In conference with General Manager Ware, discussing trains, train 'service, 1 equipment and other matters In connec tion with the work of his office. At this time ho does not contemplate any changes In the personnel of tho general passenger office. For the present bis office will bo In the southwest corner of the headquarters building ground floor. Julius Orkin Finds Business Men of East All Optimistic Julius Orlttn of the Julius Orltln cloak and suit store, 1510 Douglas street, nas Just returned from a buying trip In- tho east. He was deeply Impresszd with the indications In the east for a good spring business season over tho entire cauntry and said that the New York flnansfol leaders declared that 1918 was to he a record-breaker In prosperity. The change of administration, according to the east era view, wilt not affect the business movement of the country In the loast, and a month or two will find the nation has forgotten that the reins of govern ment are In-new hands. The Omaha trade of the Orkln store Is very exceltant now, and when the new goods arrive within a few" days Mr. Orkln expects his busi ness to be the I arrest he ever has had. Instance of Water Board Autocracy is Brought to Light Another objeot lesion of Water board autocracy is instanced by Dr. O. M. Whiteside, SIS Karbach building, who lull given nn account of It In n letter to Dr. Harry A. Poster Urging him to withstand tho Water board demands in tho legis lature. Ho says: In the north part of tho city I have a piece of property. This property was built at a day when tho street was not graded no sidewalks nothing but the outlines of a street. At such a time no company could think of nutting In k main to supply the property. Tho thou owner wanted tho water, got -permission of the company and laid his own private line to tho property. Time rolls around, the street Is sldewalkcd, graded, sewered, etc, and still no water save the private line above mentioned. Somo time ago a gentleman considered some lots seventy five feet farther up tho street, and In tended to build a home there, but he would not build unless ho had , water. This the Water board could not give him. He came to me and want6d to get tho right of Joining onto my, pipe, which 1 readily granted. 'Hut.' said he. 'the dif ficulty does not end here. Before 1 can attach to your private line I must get the right from the Water board to da no, and In addition I must deposit 1M so that In case a main Is over laid In the street, they will be sure of my sharo of thThCnktof It! The Water loanl telling him whether he could attach to a private line connected many years ago, and forc ing him to put up ISO to pay for some thing tHat may, or may not bo built, lit the indefinite future, where all the tlmo' they have the abutting property for any Improvements that may be made. What I should like to know Is, what becomes of the ICOT Who collects tho IntereKt yearly on this sum. and who gots the p) If the Water board ever puts a main III the street, which they probably will not do for some years to como, If ever? When I see such Injustice meted put by our Water board, I think It Is high tlmrf their, rights were restricted, Instead of enlarged. . Item in The Bee is Reminder of Crowd , that Did Not Come "An Item in The Bee's 'Thirty Tears Ago' column tho other dny recalled an incident In which I participated that 1 had almost forgotten," says Ralph W. Breckenrldge. "It all came up over my Inviting Dr. Thomas out here to dollvor a lecture In the IHrst Methodist church, and being called down by tho older mem bers In authority, who refused to let him speak In the church building becauso he hod been shortly beforo Tilackllsted as a heretic. This excited my friends and m over the wanton assault on the right of. free speech to the point of Joining to bring him out here anyway. "Bill" Gur ley and "Bert" Hitchcock went good for the hiring of Boyd's opera house. Dr. Thomas delivered his lecture to a fair audience, while our Methodist church friends roasted us to a turn. When It wos all over, the guarantors had to make good the deficit, which amounted to about $89 apiece, sp no wonder wo feel'soro about being reminded of it" Big Prizes Up for Ad Setting Contest "x.

Union Pacific officials here are of the opinion that It the Western Paciflo Is permitted to use the line for a mere pay ment of Its share of the Interest on re production, as proposed by the California commission,, it would be getting not only the use of the terminals, but a large, amount of business that otherwise, could not como to it. And to get It would re quire but a small expenditure of money. doing Into details, the officials say that should the commission's decision stand the Western Paclflo would have the use of every awitcn, spur track, besides tlv tmc la direct approach to all the Industrie's developed by the Southern Pacific along the line of th old Central and would mount to nothing short of confiscation of property, YOUTH BOUND OVER IN SPITE Of MOTHER'S TEARS WKMm Ttf Ti :Rr nf M3 North Tvrn. ty-flfth street waa being tried before ToMnM Matrlstrate' Foster yesterday on it charge of forgery his mother rushed , 4r. 4ufir' TnAneh. threw her nrmi Up fc.lw - .3 ' " around her sons neck, Kissea mm ana j,9a with 'th ludre to be lenient.
