added Mr. Loomla. "They muat have

business which the St Joseph company
hoped to receive from the Union Pacific
This Is placed beyond dispute by the
testimony of competent civil engineers
who were employed by the state of Ne
braska to make a physical valuation ot
the railroads of the state and who made
a thorough tnspoctton of the St Joseph
'line before and after Improvements were
made.
"The additional business which the
Union Paclflo will throw to the Bt.
.Joseph road because of the new short
line will amount to 'woo.000 per year. It
Is the only outlook which that company
,has for additional revenues, notwith

reoroKscd by powerful competitors reach
ing both Bt Joseph and Kansas City ond
without an alliance with the Union Pa
clflo would be absolutely unable to keep
Its head above water. If the Union Pa
clflo is permitted to build up this prop
erty it soon will be placed on a sound
financial basis."
Ambition of Harrluian.
R. A, Brown, attorney for the St Jo
seph & Grand Island, told ot the ambi
tions of tho management 40 mako tho
property a permanent paying one. Ho
declared that was the expectation ot the
late H. IIarrlman'ln making his In
vestment, and that this had been the pol
icy of the line from the time he had con
trolled it.
"It la too well known that Harriman
was a railroad builder, not a railroad
wrecker, for me to go into further detail.
It was that policy, of making the Union
Paclflo .the beat railroad In the world,
which now enables It to pay dividends
annually. kof .more, than, U per cent."
Mr. Brown declared tliat the mainte
nance expense of some f 700 a mile under
the management of the Union Paclflo
prior to 1SW had been reduced to about
(iOO per mile during the era of manage'
mcnt of the voting trust which operated
the line for the benefit of the first pre
ferred stockholders. He explained In de
tail the necessity of repairs when Harri
man got control following this period
and told how the work had progressed.
Edson Rich, solicitor of the Union Pa
clflo, explained the testimony of the ex
pert who was sent from the oaat to In
spect the tine and testify In court. He
atated that the so-called expert had
merely viewed the road from the rear
end of a rapidly moving passenger train
and that he had made but one trip over
tho line, even then refusing to aooept the
facilities which the officials of the line
extended In order to enable bl mto make
a thorough Inspection and a complete
report
It la expected that the arguments wtll
be concluded today.

Colombians, which was replied to by a
Colombian resident.
The demonstrators also paid a visit to
the printing office of the Star-Herald,

and windows had been barricaded the
missiles had no effect

greeting and emphasized his personal in
terest as a sailor In the success nf the
conference!
A woman, apparently of French nation
ality, attempted to smuggle herself into
tho palaco under cover of the crowd of
delegates, but a policeman stopped her.
The woman protested volubly that she
was going to see Queen Mary and created
a disturbance when, she 1 was led away
from the precincts. Apparently she was
not a suffragette.
