WANT THE FARE REDUCE Many Lincoln Oitisens Fighting the Strest Railway Company. ’ blow, and | DEMAND SIX TICKETS FOR A QUARTER Manngers of the System Claim that it is Not Paying Fixed Charges at Present and Further Expenses Mean Koin. LINCOLN, May 32.—(Special to The Bee.) —Petitions are being circulated in each of the seven wards of Lincoln this afternoon asking the city council to defeat the pro- posed street raillway ordinance introduced at the last session. Inasmuch as pubilc feel- ing is running high, the petitions are being numerously signed. The ordinance to which the ecitizens of Lincoln are objecting pro- vides for the repeal of two laws, one of which compels the street rallway company | cents and the other to place a to seil six tickets for which compels them and a motorman on each car. President Littie of the strest rallway company is out in a public letter in which he shows that the busin:ss of the company bas been steadily decreasing during the past two years. He shows that it i absolutely necessary that the company not only in- crease its revenue, but decrease its ex- penses. Ho claims that the six for a quar- ter tickets are costing the company too much and that it is unn men to be placed on each car. He elaims that his company has invested $1,200,000 in Lincoln, and thinks that upon that account | it is entitled to consideration from the peo- | ple of the ecity. Upon the other hand, the men who are opposing the passage of the ordinance at- tack Mr. Little's statements with consid- erable vigor. They claim that the street rallway company was organized for the pur- pose of squeezing as much as possible out of the venture. They point to the fact that the company Is capitalized for $2,300,000 and bonded . for $1,000,000 additional, making a total of $3,300,000, upon which the pany is required to pay dividends interest. They are asking Pre Little, with ~ considerable pertinency, what he and his associates have with all the money If they invested but $1,000,000 in Lincoln. the company has invested $1,200,000 in its system in this city. The company has forty miles of road. An Investment of $1,- 200,000 would make {t cost per mile §30,000, which includes, of course, power house and equipment. It is claimed that the street rallway system cost no such amount of money. The councll chamber was crowded with citizens who gathered to protest against a suspeision of the rules and the passage of the ordinance tonight. No attempt wa made, however, to suspend the rules, and the ordinance was read the second time and referred to a committee, composed of Mayor ‘Weir, the members of the finance committee and City Attorney Abbott. MARSHAL KROESNER'S EXAMINATION. The preliminary hearing of village Mar- hal Kroesner of Waverly, who last week shot and killed Billy Holt, commenced be- fore Justice Spencer this afterncon, and will probably continue during tomorrow. At the examination of witnesses this afterncon no facts materially altering the story of the shooting, published in The Bee at the time, were brought out. MADE HIM EAT THE SOUP. Charles Tucker was this morning fined $1 ' and costs by Police Judge Waters for demon- strative conduct. Tucker is something of a wild Texan, in his mind, and he has an old revolver which he flourishes whenever he gets particularly hilarious. Yesterday afternoon he walked into June's restaurant, where he found David W. Dean just about to swallow a bowl of steaming hot soup. Dean became frightencd at the reckless man- | ner in which Tucker was waving his re- volver around and threatening to wipe the inhabitants off the face of the earth. Con- sequently the soup was left untasted and its purchaser quietly slid for the door. Tucker saw the move and ordered Dean to return to his seat and eat the soup. Dean did so, but testified in court this morning that he did not particularly relish the article. He was badly frightened. LINCOLN IN BRIEF. is eondition Is doubtful. has not been apprehended.

THE OMAHA DAILY BFE: WEDNESDAY, KNOCKING OUT THE FAT FEES Emoluments ef United States Attorneys and Marshals to Be Reduced. HAVE BEEN WORKING THE GOVERNMENT Over Half the Prosecutions Begun Have Ended In Fallure, Which Leads the Committes to Conclude Fees Were the Object Sought. ASHINGTON, May 22.—The incomes of United States district attorneys and mar- shal will be materfally reduced if the bill recom- mended by the houss committee on judiclary shall be favorably acted upon. Under the present system of graded fees, says the re- port prepared by Representative W. A. Stone of Pennsylvania, a premium is placed upon prosecution. During the fiscal -year 1393 10,887 prosecutions were instituted for vio- lations of United States laws, which re- sulted in 5,262 convictions and 1,680 acquit- tals, while 3,945 of the cases were nolle pro The report says “We are justified In presuming that where the defendant is acquitted or the case against him nolle prossed the United States had not sufficient evidence to convict. We are led to conclude, therefore, that more than half of the cases terminating during fiscal year -were Improperly brought. Ot course, there are many criminal cases properly brought which result in acquit- tals or nolle prossequiz, but in the above of acquittals and nolle prosse is too large, and we think justifies the belief that many of them were instituted more for the purpose of making fees than in the interest of justice. nd when we come to consider that it costs the government as much for jurors and witnesses In cases of acquittals as of con- victions, we naturaily conclude that if we can diminish the number of cases in the courts that are not sufficiently supported by the evidence we can save a great deal of expense to the United States. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1391, it cost the United States for jurors $675,743.55 and for wit- nesses $1,155,720.55." The salaries proposed by the bill are $4,000 to district attorneys, $4,000 for marshals and graded salaries for clerks. Attorney General Olney has written the committee that the proposed plan will save $70,000 on the salaries of attorneys and marshals. The maximum compensation which district attorneys and marshals are now aliowed by law is $6,000 and United States circuit and district clerks $3,500 per annum, and yet, owing to the number of statutes and decisions of first comptrollers running over many years, these officers fre- quently receive much larger annual com- An instance is cited of a district attorney who has for years realized $20,000 and another where a district attorney received for a year and & half $7,063. although his returns showed but little over 3$1,000, the balance being for mileage to and from court. Clerks of courts have received as high as $14,000, the courts having held that naturalization fees need not be included in the emolument returns. While the expenses of attorneys and mar- shals are much greater in some districts than others, the committee says it has not found a reliable standard for rating salaries, and concludes by an unanimous vote to adopt the system of a uniform salary, which has been found satisfactory in the case of féderal judges, to whom the same arguments apply. It has been left to the attorney general to fix the salaries of the clerks of courts with salary at $4,000. At present it costs the government annually a large amount unnecessarily expended by the marshal in fees for guards for prisoners. This bill di- rects that prisonars shall be committed for trial in default of bail to the nearest jail and to be tried at the nearest point where the court is held. It directs that writs shall be sent by mail and does away with the | large mileage charges for travel. It provides a uniform system for keeping of accounts and making returns. IRRITATED THE DEMOCRATS. Efforts to Substitute McKinloy Bill Classifi- cations In the Metal Sehedule. WASHINGTON, May 22.—The senate dis- posed of seven paragraphs of the metal schedule today after eight hours of debate. The debate was marked by quite a number of Interesting clashes between the repub- licans and democrats. The sensational feature of the day, was caused by the un- expected presentation by Mr. Jones of an amendment substituting the McKinley bill classification and specific rates on round iron in coils, blooms and charcoal iron. somewhat higher than those already pro- posed. This amendment was a surprise to some senators on both sides, although evidently anticipated by Mr. Quay and a few other of his colleagues. Mr. Hale tried to use it as a text for taunting the democrats, and Mr. Teller read him a very plain lecture on the duty of the republicans to accept such increase as the democrats were willing to grant, without continually chiding their adversaries with inconsistency. When the vote was taken six democrats and two populists refused to support the Jones substitute, namely: Allen, Berry, Blackburn, Jarvis, Kyle, Mills, Pas- coe and Peffer. The rates fixed today were as follows: Iron ore, 40 cents per ton. Pig iron, scrap iron, ete., $4 per ton. Round iron in coils, 8-10 cent per pound. Slabs, blooms, less finished than bars, % cent per pound. Charcoal blooms, $12 per ton. Beams, girders and other structural iron or steel, 6-10 cent per pound. Boiler plate, from 5-10 to 25 per cent ad valorem. Forgings of iron or steel, 1% cents. Hoop or band iron or steel (cotton tles), 30 per cent ad valorem. The senate went into executive session and shortly afterward adjourned. WILL ABOLISH THE COMMISSION, Civil Service Roform Given Full Sway in the House. WASHINGTON, May 22.—The question of clvil service reform was given full sway in the house today, the occasion being the amendment to strike out the paragruph in the legislative apppropriation bill provid- ing for the civil service commission. It gave opportunity for some stirring and not a few amusing speeches. The amendment was adopted by a vote of 109 to 71, amid great democratic applause and republican cries of “Spoils.”" No other amendments of any importance were made to the bill, the only one adopted being to correct the totals of a few amendments, to which amend- ments were made yesterday. Sevoral democrats opposed the amendment virtually abolishing the commission, but It | was adopted by nearly a strict party vote, Among the democrats who voted with the republicans in favor of the civil service re- form were: Wilson, Tracey, Hendrix, Dockery, Warner, Springer, Sayers, Cralu, Martin, Kilgore, Livingstone, De Forest and erett. The vote on division was 95 to 61. Cries of no quorum and demands for tellers were made, the vote by tellers being 109 to 71 Mr. Dingley gave notice that he would demand yeas and nays in the house. It belng then after 5 o'clock the committee rose and the house, at 5:04 p. m., adjourned. In the earlier proceedings the resolution providing for an investigation of the al- leged armor plate frauds was adopted. SOME LOCAL LEGISLATION.

Gaul's sacred cantata, had its first Omaha production last night by the Harmony clu at the First Methodist church, under the direction of Mr. Thomas J. Kelly. A great deal of praise may be said of tae concerted work of the ¢lub, which stood out in fine contrast to the colorless compo- sition the members of the club were called upon to render. The chorus in attacks tempo and execution was a revelation to the large audience present and Mr. Kelly has every right to feel a certain measure of pride over the musiclanly manner in which the cantata was rendered, but the work itself s of little value, much of it being reminiscent and the Solos sugges- tive of the patter songs that play no in- consequential part in the makeup of the popular ballads that appeal so strongly these days to public favor. The orchestra- tion of the cantata is yuite on @ par with the composition, and the orchesira seemed to feel that the work was hardly up to the standard which other writers ot sacred themes have put Into cantata form. The soloists of the evening were Mrs. Carrie Nye, whose work was eminently satisfac- tory, the lady showing a sympathetic m-zz0 quality which was displayed to excellent advantage in the solo “The Waters of the Riven Rock;” Captain Kinzie sang the tenor role, but was not in his best form, the proximity of the orchestra seeming to detract somewhat from what would other- wise have been an excellent performance. Alr. Copeland sang the baritone solos with credit to himself. Previous to the cantata a short miscel- laneous program was rendered which brought the orchestra into prominence, the overture from " and the celebrated “Lar; of Ha being given. In the former number the band played with much feeling and expression, bt the largo num- ber lacked the essen f broadness and floridity which s s the compo- sition. ~ The o y prominent in several of the pa. which detracted a bit from the w performance one is led to expect when Mr. Herbert Butler Is concert mastér.
