mond B. Morse is being held for him
on a cnarge ot embezzlement it is
alleged that Morse left Omaha with
$1,000 in money belonging to his part
ner. He' was traced to New York by
means of baggage checks from one
city to another,
To show that the business of the
company has been hard hit by rea
son of the war, Union Pacific officials
have caused to be compiled figures
for the first five months of 1917, show
ing the increased expenses as com
pared with the corresponding period
of 1916. ' i
In order to keep locomotives mov
ing during the first five months of
this year the Union Pacific burned
811,964 tons of coal in the handling of
its freight and 308,901 tons in the
handling of its passenger trains. This
coal cost on an average of $2.09 a
ton this year, as against $1.74 during
the same months of last year.
In the matter of coal alone it is
figured that the war has added to
the cost of operation $722,799.38 up
to June 1 this year.
laking the cost of coal, repairs on
locomotives, lubricating oil and loco
motive supplies and the pay of engine
and trainmen, it is figured that the
war forced the Union Pacific to a
war increase of approximately 9
cents a mile in freight and 1XA cents
a mile increase in. the passenger serv
ice. During the period referred to
the freight locomotives registered
5,833,407 and the passenger, 4,639,-
816 miles.
To take care of the expenses out
lined the total' cost during the first
five months of this year aggregated
$4,239,136.86, as against $3,190,378.94
during the corresponding period of
last year.
