OMAHA, Dec. 2, 1913,-Dear Melllflcla:
I see In yesterday's Bee that you esse
an earful to a young lady named
"regfry"' c-n how to tujt Into socl. ty.
This "Pegay" dame says she's got plenty
of good looks, lots of Jack and an am
bitious ma, and you go r ght ahead an.!
spill your dope without even asking
where she got her qualifications. That
lets me In. I got my dough with four
Kings and my beauty from a Movie Guide.
Now, I'm considerable guy myself. If I
do say It. and though of the opposite acx,
from the form-chart, I can't figure where
the filly has anything on me, except the
ambitious ma. What I lack there, how
ever, I make up by offering my reputa
tion as reference. My record Includes
forty knockouts, five draws and no de
feats, out of forty-five times at bat.
which makes my average a even .KM).
I am already an active member of the
T. M. A." club, but lately things ain't
what they usta be, so I want to re-regls-ter.
and I'd prefer to get acquainted with
a society editor who don't wear a police
reporter's badge.
PUBLIC SHOULD BE
FAIR TO RAILWAYS
Dr. John P. Munn Point Out that
Omaha Would Be Mere Frontier
Post Without Railroads.
AMAZED AT OMAHA'S PROGRESS
"In the future Of railroading I be-
lieve public opinion and other eie-!
. ... . .... . i
menta will be more fair to the rail- j
roads than they have been In the i
post," declared Dr. John P. Munn, I
heavy railroad stockholder of New 1
York, at the University club, where
he was the honor guest at a luncheon
of local railway officials.
"People are Just beginning to reallr.e
how very essential the railroads are.
Without them, Omaha would still be a
little frontier trading post, Instead of the
marveloualy developed and Important city
It is today. I am amaied at the progress
shown by this city, and everybody ad
mits that It could not have occurred
without the railroads.
Question of Concern.
"Railroads, Instead of war, form the
greatest question before the American
public today. Railroad securities com
prise the majority of the assets of most
of the great fiduciary Institutions, so un
less the railroads are treated fairly and
prosper, the financial institutions will
experlenoe a serious slump."
Dr. Munn, who was formerly the Inti
mate friend and private physician of
Jay Gould, Russell Sage and Cornelius
Vanderbult, Is chairman of the railroad
department of the International commit
tee of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion. The local luncheon was given by
the Omaha association.
Mention was made of the probability
of establishing a railroad association In
Omaha, but the project Is still a matter
to be worked out In the future, with no
immediate developments.
Wheat Market Wild
QTIfl 'PtMPOCJ Pilimri The outcome of the suit will be
aiii 11005 uimiu.wlth lntereBt by flrm, wno
H was a wild and erratic market on
the Omaha Grain exchange, and with
heavy receipts there was business enough
for all the traders. The wheat market,
with 143 carloads on sale, opened strong
and commenced to climb as the offerings
were made, continuing without a break.
Wheat sold all the way from 94 cents to
$1.03 per bushel. The top was the highest
of any time within the last three months.
While local dealers will not venture a
positive opinion as to the future, they are
Inclined to look for higher wheat from
now on. They learn that a fleet of the
largest vessels have arranged to sail from
gulf ports, carrying grain to Europe, and
that the prospects are decidedly favor
able for exportation.
Corn was In sypmathy with wheat, and
while the advance was not so great,
p'lces went up 1 cent to li Old corn
sold at 62 and 69 and new at 62 and 65
cents per bushel. Receipts were thirty-
seven carloads.
Oats ms.de an advance of H to H cent
and sold at 88 and 39 cents per bushel,
the high price since early last fall. There
were twenty-five carloads on the market.
HUTCHINSON WILL CLOSE
EXPOSITION SATURDAY
Sam Hutchinson, tourist agent for the
Union Paciflo and Northwestern, went
west from Omaha Wednesday night to
San Francisco, where Saturday night at
midnight he will lock the exposition gates
and declare the show closed. He lshe
only official of the two roads who will
be on hand for the final expoaition func
tion. Hutchinson was present when the
gates swung open last spring and he
feels that It Is his duty to be on hand
when they are finally closed.

Local Road's Attorney! Interested in!
Government's Suit Against Cen- i
tral and Southern Pacific. !
WILL GO THROUGH ALL COURTS
Attorneys for the I'nton Pacific
are In St. Louis, where they are
watching the outcome of the suit be
ing tried In United States circuit
court, wherein the government seeks
to separate the Southern and Central
Pacific railroads, operating from Og
den, Utah, through to San Francisco.
The Union Pacific Is Interested In the
suit ln that the government charges that
since 1SSS the Central Pacific has dis
criminated against the Union Pacific in
the matter of rates, wherever possible
routing business by way of New Orleans,
Instead of through the Ogden gateway,
the shorter route.
In another respect the Union Pacific
officials feel a deep Interest ln the stilt,
their position being that In the event a
complete seggregatlon of the Central and
Southern Pacific roads la ordered by the
court, the company they represent will
he given the first opportunity to buy In
the two Pacific roads In the event they
should go upon the action block.
Back In IMPS when the federal court
seggregated the Central and Southern
Pacifies from the Harrlman management,
there was a provision Incorporated In the
court ord"r that whenever the two roads
should be sold, the first opportunity to
purchase should be Riven the 1'nlun Pa
cific. Relying on this court order. Union J
Pacific officials feel pretty confident that
If the court now separates tho Southern
and Central, It will eventually mean a
continuous line of railroad from Omaha
to Sun Francisco and under one general
management. However, they do not look
for anything of the kind until the case
has been founht throunh all the courts
and Is finally decided by the United
States supreme court, perhsps several
years hence.
