T 8 0LICITOR THURSTON'S IDE! Unioa Pacific Reorganization Plan that Meets with Mach Favor, CONGRESS LIKELY TO APPROVE THE SCHEME Discosses the Various Plans Proposed for the Protection of and All Other land Route the Government's erests in the Overs Railrond Notes. General Sclicitor John M. Thurston of the Union Pacific, talking of the scheme of re organization, which called him to New York, sai “There are many plans for the reorganiza tion of the Union Pacific property in the . The gencral scheme, however, that seoms to meet with most favor is that the [inion Pacific proper, to gether with those lines which are properly apartof the system, although classed as feoders, shall be reorganized under congres nal legislation and subjected 1 sale unde tion of the court. Sale is absolutely ssary that a new compiny way be that will permit a fresh start being bond to bear a of interest than at present 4 aud 5 per cent. With fons made in fixed in terest charges the property would, be able to pay its interest obligations and at the same time put asie, or anticipate the prneipal on the government dobt, so that the government seeurity would grow better every year, while the labitity would grow constantly less, 8 +Of course a junior mortgage stands little slow of being paid, if the mortgage bofore it absorbs all the interest. This is the condi- tion of the government mortgage, which is junior to the first mortgage of £50,000,000 held by the bondholders, The idea of a Junior mortgage is o barren idealty when associated with a preceding mortgage that holds prior ity, providing the earning capac ity of the rond is not sufficient to mect all d charees : The development of the scheme depends upon many contingencies, for after the reor- nization committee is sutisfied it must be presented to the administration for its co- operation, the attorney general. secretary of the interior and secretary of the treasury beine asked to pass judgnient upon the plan. Should the administration disprove of some of the feacures the theory of reorganization would have to be completely discussed over again. The rights of the government must be sacredly guarded as well as tho rights of Individuals, and this requires no inconsider- able time, “Chairman_Brice is an man aud will undoubtedly do the best for ali interests concerned in formulat- ing a scheme of veorganization to be presented to congress. ‘Iheregseems to be a general desire on the part of bond and stockholders to accomplish the work of reconstruction as _soon as possible, to the end that tho receivership question way be setuled.” MAY G first rate between reduc “The lower morteage e eminently fair 1T BACK, Denver Authority Announces That the Gulf May Como Back 1o the Union Pacif Dexver, Dee. 22.—The sensation today in railvoad circles is the statement that the Gulf receivership is in danger of being terminated at any time. The powerful lands that areat work inthe effort to re- organize the entire Union Pacific system, making a desperate effort to secure the Gulf line withouv the attempt to reorganize, will fail. J. W. Jennings, the personal representative of General G. M. Dodge, the agent of the bondnolders, has been in Denver for several days, making a secret investigation of this system with a view to the forcclosure of the Gulf bonds. A foreclosure of this kind would mean that the Gulf would go out of the hauds of the independent recciver und be secured by the Union Pacific re- i ieneral Dodge is a member of the managing committee of the bondholders and demonstrated considerable ivterest in the appointment of a_ receiver, being one of the prominent candidates himself. Many things point to the fact that the appointment of a receiver for the Gulf was a hard and un- expected blow to the Union Pacific, and that the matter will not be aliowed to rest as it is 50 long as thero is the smallest chance to bring that division into line again. ‘To foreclose at this time is considered from the Denver pointof view an unfair move, but it is believed that the Union Pacific manipulators will not hesitate. to do any- thing that can be done to restore the Gulf to the system. S NO TR AN IT Solicitor Thurston Denies Report Unlon Pacific Seeks to Foreclose. Geueral Solicitor Thurston of the Union Pacific, when asked concerning the truth- fulness of the Denver dispatch, which con veyed the intimation that the Union Pacific mtended to take steps to bring the Gulf road back into the Overland’s system, stated that no effort had been made ‘in this diree- vion nor was any such move contemplated, ‘I'he originator of the article, Mr. Thurston said, was probably a little apprehensive in seeing danger where there was none, Not long smce he had occasion to talk to General Dodge in New York and that gentleman as well as many other stockholders, while not ex- actly in fuvor of an independent receiver for the Gulf road, acquiesced 1n the decision of the Denver court ana_were very well satis- fied with the selection of Mr. Trumbull as receiver. The holdings of the Union Pacific and its stockhaolders in the Gulf, in- cluding the underlying bonds of the Colo- rado Central, were probably twelve out of twenty million, or nearly 60 per cent. that APPEALED TO THE COURT, Employes of the Clover Leaf Line File n Nov Torrpo, Dee. 22.—-A novel petition was filed in the United States circuit court toduy by the employes of the loledo, St. Louis & Kansas City ralroal—Clover Leaf Lind which ias been in the hands of a receiver since May to allow the cmployes toreceive living wages from the compuny. 1t is represented since the appointment of Receiver Gallaway, the wiages have been svstematically reduced until at present it is impossible for some proyide for their familics, This is the first action of the kind ever commenced and the men say that as the United States court would not_allow the appealed to it for justice, ruther than take he chauces of losing a strike and being out of employment for the bulance of the winter, CHIOAGO, PADUCAN & MEMPIIS, Company Incorporated to Biinoks Kulirond SeriNrierLy, Dee. 22— Articles of incor- poration have been filed with the secretary of state for the Chicago, Paducah & Mem. phis Railroad company.

DENvER, Dec. 22 —Ex-Governor John | Evans, the plaintiff in the suit in the United Staves circuit court, in which Frank Trum- bull, receiver, is segrogating the property and operating the Gulf system of the road scparate from the Union Pacific system, suys, in rosponse to the Associated press nterview of K. Ellery Andorson, receiver, in this morning's papers There are other sides to the question. Tirst, the stock and bonds of the Gulf road will be much more valuable when it is operated 1 its own in terest to carry freight and pnssengers than while used to suppress competition and to turn business away trom the Gulf for the benefit of the allrail Union Pacifi lines to the Atlantic. Second, Mr. lor son seems to ignore our bill in court when lie suggests that we would haved better to let him and his ussociate receiver run our rond instead of Mr. Trumbull He seems to think we are not aware of the fact that they are recognized s u perpevi tion of the defendants in our suit; that they and the self constituted reovganization commirtes not the party trying to absorb our line in fact are a perpetuation of the Union Pacific management of our company, which brought our stock down gradually from 40 | cents, at which some of us hought at the time of the consolidation, {to 415 cents on the dollar, ‘The | 1oss o our stockholders, other than the Union Pacitic company is about £,000,000 cash und about the same to our bondholders other than those held by the Uuion Pacific { company consolidated.

To- peka & Santa Ie railroad here and at Ar- gentine this afternoon when the switchmen went out because they had not recewed thejr pay checks, which were due on the 15th. Superintendent Rorabach was immediately notified and he at once came to the city. He found five men had gone without an order from the switchmen's union and he urged the men not to puss on such an im- portant matter without deliberation. The men appointed a committee of three to | confer with the superintendent to arrange the matter and after a conference lasting | two hours the committec agreed to put the men back to work and within ten minutes all returned to their posts of duty. Mr. Rorabach vead the men copies of a let- ter sent out by President Reinhart showing tne condition of theroad aud the dates on which the company would be able to make a settlement with its cmployes. The superin- tendent pointed out that a strike would only result in crippling the company and making it unable to pay as soon as it otherwise would and would not bring their pay a day sooner, He called to mind the fact that the com- pany had always dealt liberally with its em- ployes and asked them if it was right for them, by axash act, at a critical time to embuy the company when every effort was being made to effect a payment., The company, he said, had been struggling with a combination of adverse cir- | cumstances for months unprecedented iu the history of the business. "hey hoved the worst was over and that there would be fuirer sailing hereafter, and said_he wanted them to be careful that'their actions did not complicate mutters, Late tonight the leaders stated that the matter had been settled and that there would be no further trouble There were rumors that the men on the division west of here had also struck, but these are altogether unfounded.

Prelimie Christian now Frahm, behind prison bars, is cditating over the cruel fate which ruined a bright future and which throatens toenvelop him to such an extent that it will take some time before he can disentan gle himself. More than a week has passed siuce the story of his defaleation first became known and shortly afterwards it was given to the readers of Tue Beein all its details, Since then several heroie efforts have been made by the uncle and brother of the alleged de- faulting bookkeeper of the German Savings bank to save him, if possible, from the con sequences of his crime. It is stated on good authority that both of the gentlemen re peatedly offered to refund the entire amount of their relative’s embezzlement, but, judg ing from yesterday’s action, the bouding company refused to let I'rahm go unpunished Elghy plaints Filed, Lorenzo D. Fowler, cashiérof the bank, ppeared in police court yosterday and affixed his signature to ecighteen different comp en Co ach of which the young man od with baving unlawfully, fraudu- lently and feloniously embezzled a certain sum of money from the bank while in its service. The document covers a period from July 20 to December 14, the amounts alleged to have been embezzled ranging from $20 to £200 and uggregating nearly $1,700. Walved Preliminary Examination. Shortly after his arrest yesterday after- noon, Frahm was taken before Judge Berka and arraigned on the first charge of embes- zling #200. He appeared without legal aid and waived preliminary examination, pend- ing the engagement of an attornoy. The court thereupon fixed his bond for appear- ance in the district court in this instance at #500. . As farascould be ascertained mno special effort was made by the prisoner to obtain bail and this would probably be useless in- asmuch as he could be rearraigned on the remaining seventeen charge. In case a similar amount of bail was fixed in each case the entire bond would amount almost to §14,000. His Brother Visits Nim. The erring man’s brother, a highly re- spected young man, visited him at the jail last evening and held a leugthy conversa- tion with him, To the officers in charge the accused claimed that Lee Estelle, as his attorney, held $2,500 for the purpose of making good the extire defaleation. A AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA. Entertalnment by St. Agnes® Pupils—Sanrs- fleld Memorial Club Resolutions. The pupils of St. Agnes' school gave a Christmas entertainment in St. Agnes’ hall yesterday afternoon. All the seating capac- ity was occupied by the parents of the chil- dren, and a most interesting time was en- Joyed by all. The program opened with a chorus by the boy's of the school. There were gabout sixty voices inall, and the melody was stirring, Miss Casey and Miss Kane sang a duch splendidly,” and Master Me( n recited A Message from Sunta Claus” in a manner that reflected much credit on the lad and his teachers., The chorus singing by the girls was equally as good as that of the boys, and they were thorough in their drifling as well. The addresses by Master Cuff and Master Long weregood. Miss L. McKnight delivered an address that was well received. In fact, all of the numbers were more per- fect than even the teachers had anticipated, ana the whole entertainment was full of sur- prises, At the close of the program Rev. Father Moriarty spoke with much feeling. The little ones had touched a tender spot in Ins heart and it was with much difficulty that he spoke. He complimented the sisters sfor the excellent work they were doing and wished all a merry Christmas and a happy ew Yeur. There was an abundance of good things for the children in the shape of candy, nuts and popcorn, and the afternoon was happily spent by all of thom, Paild in the Fall Amount, The live stock commission firm of Spelts, |itcncock & Olney has been reinstated by the Exchunge, Some time ago this firm was suspended pending an investigation. of charges against them. 1t was claimed that they had overcharged their customers for feed. The trinl before the Exchaunge de- veloped that a boy employed by the commis- sion firm had conspired with an em- ploye of the stock yards company to do "up the firm as well as customers, He would, for instance, buy one bushel of corn and charge up two. This had been going on for months before it was discov- ered. The myestigating committee found o shortage of $79 taken in this manuer, and the firm was suspended from the exchange until this amount was made good. Yester- day the firm paid over the ) to the ex change and was promptly reinstated. It is now a question whether the 79 will go to the stock yards company or to the various customers of the firm who were overcharged for feed. In the meantime the exchange holds the amount.

For many weeks City Electrician Cowgill Las been investizating the proposition and hus made a detailed estimate of the the adyantages to be derived. He corporated in his annual report the result of his investigations, and the same wull be presented to the mayor and council early in the year. Therc are upwards of 800 incan- descent lights in the city hall and there will benearly 600 in the new library building For those in the city hall the city pays monthly an average of £1%, or §1,500 per year. The cost of those in_the new library will reach nearly the same figures, Mr. Cowgill has estimated thut a plant of suficient capacity togenerate and distribute the electricity would cost about $6,500, He includes m this estimate two engines, ono of 100 and another of 50-horse power, Thero would bo very little additional expense in operating the engines and dynamos, as the 1t engineer and firemen”of the city hall s could run them. \/hatever additional expense there swus would be slight and u lurge savine could be effected each year. Iuis estimated that the plant would pay for itself in three years. In addition to lighting the city hall gnd new hibrary building wires would " be run into the engine house ut Eightecnth y streets and it would also be lighted. It may be concluded also to furnish light for the ety jml and police court, The latter, however, has not been included in Mr. Cowgill's estimate, and the only expense would be in running the neces. sary wires into the building 1n addition to Mr. Cowili's recommenda- tion the special committee on weeding out superfluous employes about the city building and the cutting down of expenses has rec- ommended that such a plant be put in and that u committee of the council be named to investigate the proposition and report b 10 the council with recommendations, This same committee has also r mended that the gas in the city hall be turned off, as the monthly bills for tho us of the sume foot up &5, 1t will haraly be possible for the gas to be turned off, as tho gas inspector needsa supply to make tests for candle powor and tue inspector of milk uses gas in making his tests. A suggestion has been made that if tho council de- sires the economy thd clectric lights bo turned off and gas be used for 1lluminating purposes, Under the new franchise the city is compelled to pay but & per 1,000 feet for gns consumed and the jots could be burned for about oue-half what it costs for electric lights, cost and has_in- —— " Noticer of fveinor less wnder (his T, A7G cants; cach additinal tine, ten cents.
