CHARLES WARE TO
LEAVE THE U. P.
V'
General Manager Handi Hi- Eeiig
nation to President Mohler,
Who Eesigned Thursday.
HE WILL REMAIN IN OMAHA
Thursday nifrht President A. L.
Mohler of the Union Tacific tendered
lii reignation to the executive com
mittee and yesterday General Man
ager Charles Ware came along with
his. Thii resignation wai handed to
President Mohler while he was at his
office yesterday morning.
There is no stated time fixed for
the resignation of Mr. Ware becom
ing effective. It asks that he be re
lieved from the duties of general
manager of the Union Pacific at a
time that will best suit the conveni
ence of the president of the road.
The general manager of the Union
Pacific is a creature of the president
and due to the fact that the resigna
tion of President Mohler become
effective July 1, next, it ia more than
likely that he will hold the whole
matter in obeyance, turning it over
to his successor, who will make the
appointment.
Reason for Quitting.
Although General Manager Ware
Asserts that he has had the resigna
tion under consideration tor some
anonths, to his friends and to the
railroad people it comes as a sur
prise. Asked why he resigned, Mr.
Ware said:
"There are two reasons for quit
ling the position. The first ii that
rny physical and mental condition is
good and I want it to remain so.
"The second reason ja that I have
been engaged in active railroad work
lor thirty years. I want to rest and
J want to travel. I have nothing In
view for the future, so far as business
or employment is concerned. 1 am
through with railroading. I leave the
Union Pacific with the best of feel
ing toward its official and employes,
from the highest to the lowest, it is
the best road that I know of and it
and its people have treated me kindly.
Omaha will continue to be my home."
No Date Fixed.
Mr. Ware, speaking of the time
when he will leave the Union Pacific,
said: "I did not fix a date for my
resignation to become effective. This
1 have left to the president, regard
less or whether it is Mr. Mohler, or
his successor, I have left the matter
in the hands of my superior officer
and the date to suit his convenience."

SWEDEN ALSO PASSES LAW
true to the Harriman regime as is
the needle to the pole.
There are all kinds of guesses as
to who will succeed Mr. Mohler as
the president and Mr. Ware as the
general manager, but on account of
developments, none of the guessers
feel certain about being able to pick
the men.
There is a growing opinion among
some of the prominent railroad men
of the city that with the retirement
of Mohler and Ware, there will be
a greater disposition upon the part
of the members of the executive com
mittee to manage the affairs of the
road from the New York office and
that while officials here will have the
titles of president and general man
ager, respectively, as a matter of fact,
they will be only high salaried clerks
and with little more authority than
the chief clerks in the offices at the
present time.
New York Tightens Crip.
For years the New York office of
the Union Pacific has been tightening
its grip on the executive authority
and management, and month after
month it has insisted that the balance
sheets show a greater surplus, regard
less of the conditions of the traffic,
or expenses. There have been many
times in the last couple of years when
it has been necessary to trim down
the expenses in order to make the
monthly statements show the re
quired balances.
Then, too, within the last few years
the New York offices of the company
have gradually usurped the jurisdic
tion of the executive offices here.
This has been carried to the extent
of requiring authority to expend
money. This plan has been carried to
the extent in order to expend even a
small sum of money, it has been
necessary to have the approval of the
New York office.
So eager has the New York office
been to have the Union Pacific prop
erty make money, that it has ordered
the curtailment of space in the head
quarters building.
When the Umaha headquarters
building was first occupied, depart
ments and clerks were each given a
reasonable amount of space. This
space was sufficient so that there was
no crowding. However, as the ten
ants increased, the quantity of space
allotted to officials and clerks was
cut down until now, when many of
the floors' desks are piled In closely
and men and women working in
crowded quarters in order that there
may be more room to rent and bring
in revenue.
The two officials who are quitting
the Union Pacific assert that the
most pleasant relations maintain be
tween themselves and the New York
officers of the company and that the
conditions that have been brought
have nothing to do with their resig
nations. Railroad men, however, who
are outside the Union Pacific family,
assert that the treatment that has
been accorded ought to rankle In the
breasts of the two men and that if
it does, it ha undoubtedly hastened
their resignation.
BATTLESHIP NEBRASKA
ORDERED TO VERA CRUZ
London, May 20, The hands on all
clocks on British railroads, postoffi
ces, newspaper offices, police tations
and other places where business is
conducted throughout the night will
be pushed forward at 2 o'clock tomor
row morning to 3 o'clock, in accord
ance with the daylight saving act.
The general public will put their
clock and watches one hour ahead
before going to bed tonight, or will
awake to find themselve late for
breakfast.
The new schedule will run until
September 30, when clocks will be
stopped for an hour. Factories,
bank, tore, train, theater and re
taurant will conform to the new
time schedule. There is a small, old
fashioned section of the people who
have derided the daylight aving
cheme, but they will be practically
forced into line by its acceptance in
all public institutions.
The only exception will be the
parks in the large cities which open
an hour later to allow people the
benefit of more fresh air.
The hour of 2 on Sunday morning
was selected for the change because
fewer trains are running then than
at any other time during the week.
Christiana, May 20. (Via Lon
don.) The legislature has passed the
daylight savings bill advancing the
clock one hour. The new regulation
goes into effect on May 22.
The passage of the daylight saving
bill by Norway make the new time
system common to all northern
Europe. Germany adopted the new
schedule on May 1, and was followed
by England, France, Holland and the
Scandinavian countries.

Feking, May 14. Acknowledging
its responsibility In the monarch
ial movement, the state council, sit
ting as an acting parliament, has dis
solved itself to prove to the oppo
nents of the monarchy that the act
ing parliament realized it worthless
ness and the great error it made in
urging the throne upon President
Yuan Shi-kai.
The acting parliament was called
in special session by order of the
president immediately he had an
nounced the cancellation of the mon
archy, and its session of March 25
was probably the last it will hold, as
President Yuan Shi-kai will doubt
less approve the dissolution of the
acting parliament. Before adjourn
ing the acting parliament took
action restoring all laws of the re
public which were cancelled or in any
way affected, by the legislation pro
viding for the re-establishment of the
monarchy.
Kiang Han Make Statement.
Kiang Han, the member who
moved that the acting parliament
should dissolve itself as a proof of
its guilt in advising a change in the
form of government, said: "The
change of government was- brought
about rashly without due and care
ful consideration. Fortunately, our
great president is a man of kind and
benevolent disposition and capable of
piercing through mystery, and has
issued a mandate shouldering air the
responsibilities for the crime by
abruptly cancelling the same. Care
ful consideration will show that, al
though those who first advocated
the monarchy cannot escape blame
for having done so, the Tsan Cheng
Yuan (state council) nevertheless
also shared in committing the crime
for acting as principal representa
tive of the people. A man so
ignorant of law like myself is unable
to ay whether the organization of
the convention of the citizens' repre
lentative was k-gal; but I am con
vinced that in spite of the cancellation
of the monarchy, it is doubtful
whether the parties in the south will
be satisfied with it or if the province
of Yunnan and Kweichow will cease
fighting. In addition to these facts
we must also remember that a strong
neighboring country has been eagerly
expectant.
Since the great president has
courageously taken on himself the re
sponsibility of the crime, we should
also wind up our business and ask
the government to dissolve the organ
in order that, on the one hand, we
may thus offer apology to the citi
zens, and, on the other hand, to the
great president, while at the same
time appeasing our own conscience."
Liang Shih-yi and other prominent
leader opposed the motion, saying
it wa the duty of the members of
the acting parliament to stick to their
post in spite of trouble which have
come upon the country, and try to
ave the government rather than
their own faces.
After a spirited debate the acting
parliament adopted the measure by
a majority vote.
