New Haven Railroad
Stock Sinks to New
Low Record in Price
NEW YORK, Sept 18.-A break of 2V4
points in the stock of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad on. the stock
exchange today carried the price down to
S5H. a new low record. At S3',4 the stock
showed a loss of six points since the closo
of last week. It was 44K points under
the high prices of-tha year, reached on
January 10. The depreciation in market
value represented by this decline is nearly
870.CO0.09O.
The stock railed a. point after touch
ing 85tt and no more offerings were
pressed for sale.
The long decline in the shares, extend
ing back more than a year, grew out of
the various difficulties, financial and
otherwise, of the New Haven system, and
the reduction, in the dividend, 8 to 6 per
cent. The Intimation given recently by
Howard Elliott, newly elected head of the
system, that a further reduction might be
deemed advisable, la believed to have been
a factor In the renewed decline.

whether tho ordinance is confiscatory or
not.
City attorneys informally discussed tho

of the Initiative with an attorney of the

"In my mind there Is a question as to
the constitutional right of the legisla
ture to delegate its legislative authority
to the people. City councils are given
power to pass ordinances, but there ft
nothing in the constitution which gives
tho legislature tho right to confer legls.

If the ordinance- providing for the sale
of seven tickets for a quarter is adopted
at the special election at which It will
be submitted, along with the homo rule

opportunity to test the initiative an'd
throw out the ordinance on that ground

The street railway", company will also
attack the ordinance on the ground ot
insufficiency of petition, illegality of sig

the ordinance were fathered by the so

(From a- Staff 'Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Sept. I8.-Speclal.)-Dr; Ed
ward: Hls'lop, reporting- for the ' Omaha
district to the 'Nebraska - Methodist con
ference, today gave the story or tornado
relief for the churches under his super-
Vision. After commenting" on the death
of Casslus' Bhlmer and all the 'members
of the Daniels family save, one, Dr.
Hlslop sold;
"But If the tornado will long be re
membered, even longer will It be, remem
bered the generous sympathy and relief
that came to stricken Omaha. From city,
hamlet and farm gifts of money, colthlng,
foodw and furniture poured In. The ap
peal of the conference board of home
missions and church extension for our
stricken churches was generously re
sponded to. When the 'drouth In some
sections is considered the , giving repre
sents herolo sacrifice, The total fund for
the restoration of Methodist churches
amounts to 8,0K7.65.
Work of Restoration.
"The work of restoration has gono
steadily forward. Trjnlty church, under
the leadership of Thomas Blthell, has
been restorod, not as It was, but nearly
so, at an expense of $6,000. So. far they
have received J2.WS.SJ from the relief
fund. McCabe has not begun to rebuild,
but Is making the best use It can of the
damaged building. The reason for delay
Is that a feeling has grown up that the
new McCabe must be a much better
church than the old,
"The demolishing of a dwelling by the
tornado threw onto the market at a sac
rifice figure the lota Just west jot the
church. Brother Underwood 1 and his
alert trustees bought the ground. No one
who looks the situation over with an eye
to future Methodism in the growing dis
trict beyond Forty-first and Farham can
doubt the wisdom of the purchase. Mc
Cabe has up to date received JJ.057.79
from the relief fund. Southwest chapel
Is to be rebuilt, work on the basement
being already under way. This church
wal entirely destroyed by the tornado.
The new church will be of concrete
blocks, costing about 83,000. They have
received up to the present time 1,000
from the relief fund." ,
"Ralston, though the chUrch building
was not damaged, was so ' crlppljd by
loss of Its Industries for four or five
months that relief ot II to from the relief
fund was given the church on pastoral
support. Tn addition all of the above
churches received aid from the general
Board of Home Missions and Church
Extension at Philadelphia, appropriated
out of funds collected by the board for

GAMBLING HOT TOLERATED
AUSuoh Places Must Close Sere
During Ak-Sar-len.
SO SAYS COMMISSIONER RYDER
Chief: Dnnn Says He Knows Nethlns;
of Gambllna; In Pabllo or Seml
Publla Manner May De
talt Special Men,
v Gambling noun in Omaha must- cless
during Ak-Sar-Ben carnival tinder orders
ttfldVbllc Commissioner ij'mmf
who Insttucttd Chief of 'Botyfco, Itenry W.
Dunn yeiterday to tttke. .nscestary step
to wipo out all game. The: .police com
mtsslohtr threatens to detail special men
to tha Job of detecting gambling Joints
It the, police fail to find them.
Commissioner Ryder resented the, In
sinuation that public officials were "in"
on the gambling and refused to closo
tha Joints. That thoro Is gambling, ha
sAld, cannot bs denied, and there "al
ways will be a certain element looking
for a game, and they will get It from men
whoso main business Is fishing for stick
ers."
Chef Dunn said he knew nothing of
gambling In publlo or semi-public man
ner. He, said the. police foUrtd It almost
Impossible to prevent "two or three ne
groes getting together and shooting
craps," and that it was hard to convict
such, offenders.
Steve Maloney, chief ot detectives, said
he did not believe his men frequented
gambling places, ns had been alleged. He
knew, he raid, that they would Immedi
ately arrest anybody detected gambling.
RegardlUK his orders to Chief Dunn,
Police Commissioner Ryder said:
"Publlo or quasi-public gambling in
Omaha cannot be tolerated during Ak-Sar-Bcn
festivities or at any other time.
Even 'the man of very dense mind must
realise that tho sentiment here against
gambling Is of the very strongest char
acter. That there Is gaming of a kind to
invite or catch the ordinary man that is.
open and public is not a fact, but even
where there la a suspicion' ot substantial
violation of tho state and city laws
against gambling It is going to be re
moved. It may bo necessary to detail
special men to watch the alleged gam
bling Joints, and If so that will be done,
Anything llko public gambling cannot be
conducted in Omaha.
"Of coune, In a city like Omaha there
wU always be a certain element' look
ing for a game,' and they will get It
from men whole main business Is fish
ing for suckers; but that sort of thing
is sporadic. Chief Dunn is a man who
has my full confidence, and this morning
his instructions at to suppression ot
gambling were amplified to that extent
Lam confident even the sneakiest game
will find little to feed on. The intlma
tlon that tho authorities are 'In' with
whatever gambling has been going on Is
absolutely without foundation', so far as
the police department Is concerned, and
I do not believe it Is true of any publlo
official."
