INBQUALITY OF SALARIES ALLEGED On behalf of the Union Pacific it was al- leged that there fs a very noticeable ine- quality in the present salaries of many of the train dispatchers and operators, which have como about because the conditions have changed from time to time at many of the stations on the system. It was also stated in the petition filed in Judge Dundy’s court that the ries paid In the past at many of the statfons on the Unfon Pacific system were never justified by the amount of labor performed and has in many sections of the country been much higher than those paid by competing or neighboring lines.

REPLY OF THE OPERATORS. To these statements the telegraphers reply that the minimum of pay on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad is $65 instead of $60, as represented by the comparative table pre- pared by the Union Pacific, and also that the minimum of pay on the Union Pacific system for branch of service is $50, and that the maximum on the Denver & Rio Grande rail- road is $100 and the maximum on the Union Pacific system is §77.50; that the av age on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad is §52.30: the present average on the Union Pa- cific system s $67.61, and the posed aver- age thercon is $64 as shown in the Union Pacific petition; that the average on the M souri Pacific system is $66, and the averas on the Colorado Midland railroad is $70 per month, which the men substantiated by official statements. 1t was give and take for two hours on the part of the forces arrayed in this battle for position, tha men to have another go today. THINK CLARK HAS RECEDED. 1t is the contentlon of the men that Mr. Clark has in a measure receded from the po- sition taken by him, in that he has gone on with the hearing of the wage question in spite of the fact that the men explicitly state in their answer to his letter that they do not renounce their claim to contract rizhts, but only refrain from pressing the matter at this time and place. They claim that these. like any other contracts, can be changed as to terms and conditions by the mutual consent of all the parties to it without in any way abrogating the validity of the contracts. The question of the valldity of the contracts and contract rights being one of law can be left to the courts. John T. Wilson, grand foreman of the In- ternational Brotherhood of Railway Track Foremen of America, arrived at the Arcade yesterduy to look after the interests of the employes in his department of the Union Pacific system. OPENED THE OLD FIGHT. Canadian Pacific Conncctlons Accused of Bad Faith In Differentinls Agreement CHICAGO, March 16.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—Much excitement was created among the western roads today by the reopening of an old differential rate fight with the Canadian Pacific road. The North- ern Pacific road discovered that the Soo- Pacific line had had inserted in the Pittsburg and other trunk line rate sheets a basing rate of §37 first class and $30 second class from St. Paul to Puget Sound and other north Pacific coast points, (he agreed rates being $15 first class and $35 second class It further satlsfied itself that the trunk lines were using the rates 50 quoted in the sale of tickets from their territory to the coast over the Soo-Pacific route via Mackinaw. This created differ- entials against the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern roads of $8 first class and §5 second class, in consequence of which the Soo Pacific was taking the business away from its competitors, This action was in direct conflict with the agreement arrived at between these roads and the Canadian Pacific at the pro- longed conference held there at the beginning of the year, when the Canadian Pacific agreed to abandon all claim to differenti over its Soo-Pacific route to north Pacific coast points in return for trackage rights glven it by the Great Northern from New Whatecom to Puget Sound points and Port- land. Comissioner Farmer of the Trunk Line as- sociation, when the matter was called to his attention, denled that his roads had quoted the rates in any of their rate sheet but reported that the rates were shown in sheets distributed by the Soo-Pacific through the territory and that the Canadian flc was using the rates as selling rates in Now York, Philadelphia and other points in trunk line territory. The understanding there was that the rates were applied only via Port Arthur, Northern Pacific’s information is of an ly different nature. It insists that the rate is being made via Mackinaw through St. Paul and over the Soo-Pacific route, and it has called upon the western roads either to shut these rates out of their territory en- tirely or make them avatlable by all trans continental lines from St. Paul. This action is said to be a gross breach of faith on the part of the Canadian Pacific. It renews the strife over transcontinental rates, which believed to be happily ended, and reopens afresh the whole ques- tion of Canadian Pacific differentials, which will have to be fought over amew. What action the western roads can take to bring the Soo-Pacific to time is not apparent. The feeling against the Canadian Pacific is run- ning high, however, and the probability is that the western roads will persist in their refusal to recognize its differentials in any manner whatever.

THE OMAHA DAILY BE E: SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1894-~TWELVE PAGES, TUE BENNETT LIBEL CASE Argument for the Defense Brought to a Conclusion Yesterday, DUTY OF THE PRESS TOWARD THE PUBLIC Tound to Acquaint the People with th Con- 't of Public Affairs - Principle as Applied to the Case in Questic The defense In the Bennett-Rosewater libel case concluded Its arguments before Judge Berka yestorday afternoon. Attorney Simeral resumed his srgument at 2:30 o'clock, citing additional cares and stating that all of them went on tho theory that it was not only the privilege but the duty of a publisher of a newspaper to inform the voters of the character of an imdividual for whom thelr suffrages were asked, it well founded reports came to that publisher that the candidate was not a fit man for the po- sition. The defendant in this cuse had not criticised Berfnett as an individual but as an official, and all charges inade were against the management of his office and the Jail as a public Institution. No referenc had been made to Bennett's private charac- ter, but to his officlal position. As far as Mrs. Bennett was concerned, she had not been charged with anything, hut ghe had assumed to say that was! In all the talk about the stion it had not been alleged that a orime had been committed. It had not been alleged that the abortion, even if it had taken place as reported, with her full knowledge, was an unlawful act. It had not been stated that not done In the manner in which such things were allowed to be done under the law, by the advice of two physicians for the purpose of saving the life of the girl. Mrs. Bennett had not been spoken of in connection with it at all, but she had taken it upon herself to say that she was the person libeled. The authorities were clear that in matters of public interest, such as offices or institutions supported by public taxes, even though they were not matters of universal concern, newspapers had the right to criticise and present to the public such reports concerning them as there was reason to believe were true., This not only applied to public offices, but to railroads, banks, boards of trade and charitable in- stitutions, all of which might be criticised %0 long as the privileze was not used as a cloak for malicious defamation of character. The law also was clear that the whole arti- cle must be taken into consideration, and the one in question showed all the way through that it was the office and not tho individual that was critieised. LILAS PAGE'S CASE. As to the abortion matter, the evidence in- troduced was such that it must raise a doubt in the mind of any unprejudiced whether such a thing had not been attempted in the jail or actually perfo vet it was not necessary to prove the truth of that report. Koen had denied on the witness stand that he had ever said that such a thing had occurred there, but Jailer Miller, Mrs. Lodge and Charles Perrin had all testified that he had told them about it. Police Matron Cummings had testified that the girl’s mother had told her about it, and the state had not brought in the girl's mother to deny making that statement. Mrs. Lee testified that Lilas told her she was pregnant, and Dr. Somers testified to the same thing, as well as to his examination of*| her and his medical opinion as to her condi- tion. On the witness stand Silas Page had , to say the least, very difident. She had thought she was pregnant for and she also testificd that she didn't want to have the child. She had thought so all along, and finally went to the Rescue Home, and sick.” A physi- clan was called there to attend her, and she then found out all at once that she was not pregnant. The evidence was such as would almost convince any jury that an abortion had been attempted, "if not actually per- formed In the county jall. It was true that the defense had intro- duced the testimony of female prostitates, and it was equally true that the state had sought to deuy it with the testimony of male prostitutes. Apart from this, the very great interest of those male prostitutes must be considered. The state had introduced Horne and Theodore Bennett to show that they were always together, Siamese twins as it were, sleeping together in that little, tucked- up office every night without exception, all during the hot summer months in a, three foot by six bed, never staying out after 9 o'clock alone. Then to cap the climax of perjury, they had brought In that younger brother to testify that he was at Mrs. In- galls' but once. He could not remember the day or the week or tho month, but could remember the figures over the door. Then it had been testified by Theodore and Horne that Mosher never had a key of the jail, while several witnesses for the defense had testified that they had been admitted by him. It the rule that the state sought to apply, that false In one thing meant false in ail, was to be applied impartially, it would leave the state without any testimony at all. The defendant in this case had acted in the utmost good faith. The conduct of the jail was a matter in which the public was infer- ested. Prisoners were sent there not only for punishment, but as a means of reforma- tion, and it would not do to send them to one of tho worst houses of assignation and prostitution In the state. The peoplo had passed thefr judgment on the condition of things there, and now the complaining wit- ness brought this suit in the name of the state fn order to be revenged for that action of the people of Douglas county. Judge Estelle closed for the defense. He said that while the defendant might havs required the state to prove that he wrote the article, which would not ha been an easy thing to do, as was found in former libel cases that had been tried here, he had refused to take advantage of a tech nical defense, but had insisted on putting in a real defense, He had admitted that he was the author of (he letter, and that was in itself strong proof that he had acted in the utmost good faith in the publication of the letter. It these stories had come to the defendant and he had reason to believe them, and he had not let the people know of that state of. affiairs, he would deserve to be kicked out of this community and kept out of it for all time to come. The defense did not contend that it had proved that the abortion was committed or that Mrs. Bennett Knew of it, but evidence had been introduced that would convince twelve disinterested men beyond a reasonable doubt that a great many of the things charged were true. But even this was not necessary. REAL QUESTION INVOLVED. The question was: DId the occaslon de- mand this publication—was it a privileged communication? There was no question but that the defendant would have been fully justified In sending the article to the de. partment of justice, to the president or to the attorney general, for as federal prisoners were confined in the jail, and the money ot the people of the whole country contributed to Its support, the people of the state and of the United States were Interestod, and all had a right to know how affairs were con. ducted there. But even if this were not the case, it would be a long while before courts would hold that it was necessary to limit such a communication merely to the voters, Children appear at this bar by scores who are Interested (n the conduct of that jail; women by the hundred appeared before this court who were interested in what was allowed to go on there, and thero are thousands of citizens here In this city who will never have a vote who are vitally interested In the manner in which the office of sherlff is conducted. There was not ths slightest doubt that Lilas Page had chargea that abortion against Mrs. Bennett. = The defense did not have to prove that she did know of it; it did not want to prove it; it hoped for the sake of American Womanhood thut she did not know of It. That was nol the Issue (n this case. Additional authorlties were ocited, Riving the opinions of eminent jurists that the individual who under such ecircumstancos would not make such a communication would be derelict in his duty to his fellow men. So far as the doctrine of implied was concerned, there wasn't a court land that had not Incontinently kicked it out. There was not a thing in the article that the defendant had fabricated It had been shown that everything charged had come to him from other sources. There was no malice ( tever on the part of the defendant. It l” e was anything culpable in the feclings of any of the parties, it was on the part of the complaining witness, Bennett Charge aftet, gharge had been | proven | beyond the faintest doubt. There had been escapes. UnderO'the law, whenever one prisoner was aceorded privileges that an other did not reccive, it was a jall delivery But the defenzeiwas not compelled to take advantage of that extremity. Bennett had | admitted repeated escapes. The charge againat the matgon was not libelous per se. It was a part of the sherifi's office, and was a position that the taxpayers —sup ported “and '{lity were ontitled to knowledge of jt, The charge that Bennett had 'Viblated his official oath was not a charge of perjury. He had re- tained his brother when it was manifestly his duty to have discharged him, and therc could be no doubt in view of the evide that either unwittingly or because of extra affection for his brother he did overlook or forget his official oath. There could be no doubt that the sherlff should have dis charged his brother wlen, according to his own testimony, he found him taking pris. oners to the ter and according them ex ceptional privileges There could bo no doubt as to the Jail hay. ing been made a brothel and assignation house. The language was none too strong, and a jury would say that it was fully justified by the facts. The defense had to call such witnesses as had an opportunity to know of the situation in the jail. There could be no doubt as to Lilas Page having been pregnant, nor that Mrs. Marshall is now 80, although the state professes to dis credit it The arguments will be resumed at 2 o'clock this afternoon, when Assistant County At- torney Day will close for the state. ELECTRIC WIRE FIRE. Mullen & MeClain Compnny™ Cold Storage Warehonse Seriously Damaged. Twice yesterday fire started in the four story cold storage warehouse of the Mullin & McClain company, §15-817 Howard street The first time was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and the second about 10. Tho first alarm “was turned in by Ernest Peycke, who happened to be in the building at the time. The only thing to guide the work of the firemen was the smoke, and it was some time before the seat of the fire uld_ be discovered, but finally it was lo- cated in the southwest corner of the third floor. The smoke was also a great hindrance to the firemen, and in some places they had to crawl on their hands and knees in order to get near the fire. It was extinguished within an hour after the alarm was turned in caused from the electric wires, as in the col ner from which the flames issued was an in- candescent hanging lamp, and the the y was further substantiated by the appearance of the ceiling, which was burned the entire length of the room. The building from the first fire suffered little damage. The stock was not seriously damaged, as there was not much above the second floor. An hour after the first fire broke out the firemen left and nobody remained behind to care for the building. ~Everything was s posed to be safe and no extra pr were taken, The members of the fir and busied themselves in straightenin the disordered state of things. Mr. J. Mul- lin, one of the proprictors, and his foreman, T. Houston, were there together were about to temve when they discovered that the fourth stdry was full of fire. In response to a general alarm the whole de- partment turned,out. The smoke rolled from the roof and win- in great clouds and the firemen could v see one hnother on the ground. It looked as if the swhole bullding must go. The water tower. was brought to the front and almost immediately had a telling effect. A few moments mere and a part of the roof fell in. This was fortunate, as it enabled the firemen to ‘sce and also cleared away some of the smoke. It was now only a question of throwipg in enough water, and shortly the fire yas under control. It was nfined to tha fourth story. The buiiding Wa¥ o by Thomas Davis and In the second fire it was damaged to the extent of $4,000° 'On it was $20,000 in in- surance, led "% follows: orthern of London, Michigan Fire and Marine, $5,000; Underwriters of New York, $5,000; Glenn Fails, $5,00: On the stock was about §11,000. The loss will be about $2,500 on it. In going to the first fire Pipeman Wilson of No. 4 lost his balance on the truck and fell off. He suffered a badly sprained ankle that will keep him off duty for some days. Foreman Houston of the Mullin company was burned on his face and hands when going up the elevator after he discovered the last fire. ~ Mr. Muliin was also badly burned. His knee was injured by something falling upon it, and his fingers were a mass of burns. ~ Many of the boys suffered slight cuts from falling glass when the windows in tho rear and front were broken. The Continental engine was disabled at the second fire by the breaking of a vacuum chamber.
