It Is complained that scores of bonds are never forfeited and that the cases aro never brought to trial and that there Is no Intention of ever bringing them to trial, and that this Is known when ap peals are taken. WATTLES BACKJPROM COAST Company Has Not Decided What to Do About Extensions. SAYS KELLEYITES NOT ARMY Thinks Omaha find Xrhraakn Are In letter Shape Tlmn the I'nOllc Coast t'onntrj- nt Tills Time. Would Collect Tax from Railroads that Occupy the Streets That railroads In Omaha ere not now and novcr havo been paying taxes or rent for vacated streets occupied by them Is assorUd. by City Abstracter Wood Hart ley In u communication to the city com-elusion. Some time ago Hartley was Instructed to Investigate tho tax records of tho railroads, with reference to streets given them by tho city. "These railroads, occupying many streets, have never paid taxes," said Hartley. "They are, It Is asserted, pay ing a tax to the state on their track mileage, but that does not prevent the city from collecting a tax or rent for tho city property occupied by them." City commissioners have Instructed the city legat department to render an opin ion and if this onlnlnn is. favorable to the Wn somo arrangement wilt be made to collect from the railroads for the property In question. "1 have long ago learned that It dors not pay to worry about anything, es pecially for a man In ftubllc service cor poration work," said G. W. Wattles on returning from a winter In Los Angeles, when he was asked If the ordlnanco pro viding for the sain of soVun street car tickets for a quarter was worrying him. Asked It the passage of the seven for a quarter proposition and tho pending of tho test case in the courts would have any effect on the proposed extensions of the street car company, of which ho Is president, ho said: "I ennnot say Just yet whother It will, or not. 1 can't soy Just what wo will do about those. Of course It Is a llttlo early yet, and we expect tho first round of tho case to b dtidded within a few days." The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Hallway company a few months ago an nounced a number of large extensions of lines It Intended to make this spring. During tho early part of the campaign for tho seven -fares for a quarter, how- ex cr, Mr. Wattles said publicly that If tho ordinance passed It would be "good bye to extensions for a long time." Calls It Ilotten IJcnl. Mr. Wattles Is deeply disappointed bc- causo Omaha did not get one of the re gional roscrve' banks, or at least get a better relationship In tho districting of tho reservo districts. "It Is tho rottenest deal that has been handed to Omaha for a long time," ho said. "I do not think tho protest will do any good, ellhc." "Yes, I saw a few hundred of Kelly' army whllo In California," said Mr. Wat tles. "They are not an army. They aro not even an organised body. Thoy are mass of tramps that have gathered together for tho purpose of defying the authorities that they could not defy single-handed. They were offered work repeatedly,- and af .railroad company wanted to get a couple of thousand men out thero to work on tho road, but could not got these fellows." Mr. Wattles says business looks n little better In Nebraska and Omaha than In California and tho coast country. "Wo do not feel the llttlo business depression here, qulto as much as they do on tho coast," he said, "although we are be ginning to foel It here to somo extent." Less Oars to Carry Mail to Stations To Improve the service, the number of trips of the street cars carrying mall be tween the postofflce and the depot have been reduced, and the new schedule which will diminish tho amount of money paid the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Hallway company, some $825 a year, Is to go Into effect Thursday. Recent complaints of the service had reached the office of the superintendent of railway mall service several weeks ago and more trips between the postofflce and tho depot were asked for. Instead, the department Investigated the situa tion and found that tho chief difficulty was In the fact that the trips were so arranged that often tho cars did not stop dt the station long enough to per mit employes to unload the cars, The result was that the time of stops at the depot havo been Increased and the cars will run less frequently than ttefore, reducing the total mileage and the sum paid tho Mtreet railway company moro than $C23 each year. Mrs. Pibk on Stand Seeking Divorce Love letters In which Joseph Pick, man ager of the York Engine and Foundry company and the American Supply com. pany of this city, refers to anqther womah as his "beautiful, sweet, clever girl," and speaks of a kiss from her hs being the greatest pleasure he over ex perienced, figured In the divorce suit brought by Mrs. Emma L. rick In Judge Hears' district court.
