COMPANIES ARE UP IN ARMS Railroads Affeetfrt Taklaar Step " with Interstate Commerce Com nlssloa to Stop Morement of Valon rarlfle. he fanes hanging out la front of Kar ri am street hotels. The commissioners will take the matter up with Commissioner A. C. Kugel of the police department, and If he la with out authority to control '"the nuisance," an ordinance will be prepared by Com missioner Pan B. Putler of the depart ment of finances and accounts. Again the Union Pacific Is about to close the OKden gateway sfcuinst the Burlington. Hoctf Island, Santa Fa Mis souri Faclflc, Colorado ft Southern and the Colorado Midland, together with their connections. The representatives of the Interested roads are up In arms and are preparing to take steps to rrevent the proposed ac tion. Their appeal has already been made to the Interstate Commerce commission, the contention being that if the Ogden gateway is closed, the roads that would bo shut out would be unable to ticket rassengers through Colorado and Utah to points on the Oregon Short Line. Besides, the contention Is made that by the closing of the Ogden gateway all passenger traf fic originating east of the Missouri river and moving west will be diverted and that it cannot be routed through Denver ard Salt Lake and Intermediate points. Limits Tourists Tickets. The allegation Is made that If the Og den gateway is closed. In the future all tourists going to the Tellowstone park will be prohibited from going through Colorado and Utah and stopping off at the scenic points enroute. Protests of Colorado and Utah hotel keepers and business men are going for ward to the commission, numerous peti tions being signed and forwarded. In its notice to the interested roads, the Union Pacific atates that, effective Oc tober 1 of this year, or as soon thereafter as current tariffs can be supplemented or reissued, Interchange of business At Salt Lake and Ogden, between the Oregon Short line and the Denver A Rio Orande will cease at Colorado common points. This business, the Union Pacific states, must be routed by way of the Union Pa firic between Denver on authorised points of interchange east thereof on the one hand and Granger or Ogden on the other. Eastbound business west of Hunting ton, Ore., or in the country farther weat, will continue on the present basis. The proposed closing of the Ogden gate way Is approved by B. L. Wlnchell, direc tor of traffic; J. A. Munroe, vice presi dent, and Gerrit Fort, passenger director, all of the Union Pacific system. Matthews' View. Assistant General Passenger Agent Mat thews of the Missouri Pacific, in the city from a tour of the Black Hills country , and on his way home to Kansas City, dis cussing the proposed closing' of the Ogden gateway by the Union Pacific, said: "It is to be seen if the Union Pacific can close the gateway against the other roads. "Whether or not It will be permit ted to do so is a matter for those higher tip to determine. It probably thinks it can, else it would not hava made the at tempt." ; . CITY DADS TO REGULATE TAXI DRIVER NUISANCE Taxlcab chauffeurs who gather in front of hotels and talk and "block the side walk with their scrapping and other an tics," may bo made the object of special legislation by the city council, for some of the city commissioners hava received leveral complaints against the tactics of Bohemians Plan to Help Countrymen in Need of Assistance Representatives of various Bohemian so cieties met KrUlay evening at Tumor hall and discussed ways and means of helping their countrymen In Kurope. F. J. Kutek presided and referred to the terrible con ditions existing among the noncombnt ants in the various countries now engaged In war. He emphasised the importance of neutrality, but urged that every reason able step be taken to aid relatives and friends. The societies will co-operate with the Red Cross In the distribution of funds. A mass meeting will be held Sunday, September 18, at which a definite plan will be adopted. However, another as sembly of the representatives will take place Monday.

BUT LITTLE FOREIGN TRADING Only Few of the Loral peralatora Dabble In rhlreao Market, Pre ferritin to Await Movement of the Jaly Option.

WAR MEANS DRUG SHORTAGE Omaha bankers are to send a delegate to Washington to meet on September 4 with a conference of representative bankers from the twelve reserve cities, and other business centers. Six non reserve cities are to be asked to send delegates. Omaha was among tho six. A telegrrjn cam from the federal re serve board to the Omaha clearing house asking for a delegate from Omaha It is likely that either J. C. French, presi dent of tho clearing house, or Luther Drake, vice president, will be selected to represent Omaha bankers at the con ference. A date for opening business In tho fed eral reserve) banks will probably be set at this conference. FRUITSTAND ORDINANCE NOT BEING COMPLIED WITH Although an ordinance was passed by the city commission at the Instance of Commissioner C. H. Wlthnell, ordering the removal of all fruit stands from side walk spaces, city commissioners have re ceived complaints that the order has In no particular been obeyed or enforced. "The trouble Is," said Commissioner Dan B. Butler, "that many of these fruit venders pay large rent for the space and In Instances contracts have been made which, If broken, would result In probably unjust injury to some." Police Commissioner Jl. C. Kugel's at tention has been called to the violation and he will decide within the next few days what he will do aa far as the police department is concerned. JOHN GERL0CK ADDRESSES STATIONARY ENGINEERS John Gerlock, member of Nebraska National Association of Stationary En gineers, lectured before a meeting of en gineers and terchnlcal men of Omaha and adjacent citlea Friday night at Washing ton hall on "Hydro-Klnetlcs." Mr. Ger loch advanced some new theories which were contested by Nathan Bernstein, A. G. Knight and T. WiUhunn of Chicago. At the end of the lecture there was a gen eral discussion. Germany la Chief Nation Exporting Chemicals, Maya t. Loals rharmaelat. With a general war throughout, and importation from that continent virtually stopped, one of the first lines of com merce to feel the effects would be the drug trade, according to Gustav J. Meyer, secretary of the Meyer Brothers' Drug company. "In the field of drugs and chemicals," said Mr. Meyer, "Gcr-many Is supreme. In that branch of commerce that country occupies the same niche among nations as the United States does in the manu facturing of machinery." One of the first things In which a short age would be felt, said Mr. Meyer, would be in oarbolio acid. Virtually all of this chemical, so much In demand in times of war, and so generally In use in this country, cornea from Germany. There was never a ton of it manufactured In the United States. , Quinine, however, will be as plentiful, almost, as ever. ' Only about 26 per cent of the quinine used in America comes from Germany. Tho bark comes from the Dutch possessions and from South America, and It Is manufactured here in Immense quantities. It is In such drugs as veronal, tiional and other drugs that Germany supplies the world, and there Is bound to be a shortage should the war continue any great length of time, said Mr. Meyer. Mr. Meyer says, that all of the coal tar preparations come from Germany, and these form the basis for thousands of preparations. One-iialf of the remedies In general use today, he said, are based on the coaltar preparations. St Louis Republic. Her Ambition. "I'll be leaving in the morning, mum," said Nora. ' "What?'' cried Mrs. ' Topswell. "Don't I give you a home and a good bed and plenty of food?" , "Yes, mum." ' "Don't I pay your wages regularly?" "Yes, mum." "And allow you an afternoon off every other week?" "Then whafmor do you want?" "It's like this. mum. I hired to you for to be a lady's maid. But that is something I can never be, mum, so long as I work for a woman llkit you. So I'll be looking for another place to morrow." Newark News. Sunday, August 30, 1914 BURGESS-NASH CO.
