10 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1902. SHAKEUP IN ASPHALT WORLD (FROM OMAHA_T0 PITTSBURG|PUTS BAN ON DEVIL WAGONS \Basber Peeple Ohnp Officers of the Omahs Grant Company. MOVE ALLEGED TO BE IN LINE OF BCONOMY (Ohicage Mam President Clifford 1. Howe of Omaha for Local Work. " At the annual meeting of the offcers, di- :réotors and stockholders of the Grant Pav- ng company Wednesday some decided changes were made affecting the relations of that concern with the Barber Asphalt company and in the directory and efficial board. Under the present arrangement each company will maintain a distinct identity, according to Mr. Nash, but the affalrs of each will be under control of one set of of- ficers and dfrectors. The change was made, 1t 1s alleged, in the Interest of economy. All salaries of officers were discontinued. D. R. Cox, an employe of the Barber As- phait comipany at Chicago, was elected pros: }dent in vlace of Fred A. Nash. W. R. Mc- Laughiin takes the place of A. W. Sewall as 'wice president, W. F. Miller succeeds A. C. Powers s secretary and treasurer and Cliftord 1. Howe, formerly secretary. and Kreasurer of the Rochester Shos company, becomes superintendent in place of John nt. The directory will comprise Fred Nash and John Grant. Powers is out of Bt entirely and is now “unattached.” Barber Company Owns the Grant. “The Barber Asphalt company owns 75 peor cent of the stock in the Grant Paving company,” sald Mr. Nash, “but heretofore Bas entrusted the management of the Grant eompany to Omaha men, who are the minor- 'tty stookholders. Heretofore both the Bar- ber and the Grant company maintained a !separate organization here. As a result of 'the change which was made yesterday both eompantes will be managed by one set of {offcers, though . the two compantes will maintain separate identities. One auite of office rooms probably will serve for both ‘concerns.” - D. R. Cox, the new president will retaln |his headquarters in Chlcago, where he is employed by the Barber Asphalt company las & genmeral utility man. W. R. Me- Laughlin, the new vice president, has been employed as auditor in the Barber'com- !pany's offices here. John Grant, formerly ‘superintendent, will continue to serve as |promoter and solicitor of the combined lconeern, though his salary of $200 per !month has been lopped off and he will work \Bereatter on commliasion. Mr. Howe, the |mew superintendent, is comparatively new !at the asphalt business, having worke at ‘it less ‘than two months, which time he {put in as a clerk in the Barber offices. —e Ohtlaren dike ft, “My little boy took the croup one night,” says F.

Young of the Santee In- reseryation fs in the olty to appear ‘® ithe United States commissjoner in ease. The captain holds the position chief of the Indian police and justice of the peace for the Indian country. “I can, see little change on the reser- |vation,” he. sald, “since the agency was imbolished. The superintendent of school |mots as agent and all business is tran {moted as though he were agent. The In- dians are preparing for the sale of their tland, which will begin as soon as the | blank ‘déeds_arrive from Washington. One lof the provisions of the regulations is {that no'deed shall be used which does mot come from thé department, but the super- |intendent, becoming disgusted wil |delay, secured a blank form and is hav- ng some printed at a local office, It will be interesting to learn whether these are recognized by the department. “The land which s offered for sale will wvary in price from $256 to $3 per acre. The latter price will be exorbitant for |some of the rough land along the.brakes 'of the Missourl river, but it will prob- ably go for that, as the Indlans dn not |seem to Ye ss anxious to sell as others are to buy. A’ couple of bankers in the melghborkood are trying to get comtrol of large of the land and trylog to make contfacts to purchase before the /deeds arrive from Washington. = From ‘what I can learn they are not meeting with much success.” SHIELDS INSTEAD OF STARS Change in Badge of Of for the i Omaha Police Will Soem ] Be Adopted.

HUNTS FOR A STOLEN HORSE Jows Mam Belleves a Gypey Band Litted His Va st A horse belonging to W. J. Kieef ot Garnar, Pottawattamia county, la., was stolen from a pasture near Council Bluffs Wednesday night, it is thought, by & band of @ypsies, who were camped near the pas- ture. Mr. Kieef was in Omaba “yesterday morning and gave a description of the horse and the campers to the police. It is be- leved they are headed towary Omabha, Mr. Kieef valued his horse af $135 and purchased it a week ago. He tracked the campers past his house for & distance of balt a mile saw wherg they had turned around and went back the way they started. He went from bere to South OmaBa to notify the police there. —_—— What Fellows Gript Paeumonia ofter, but never whem Dr. King's )‘u Discovery for Consumption ls 4 It cures colds and grips.’ Boc, §1. Wabash Rallrend Soon to M Its A continuous track of its own from Omaba to Plttsburg, Pa., will be in opera- tion by the Wabash by the first of 1003. Word has just been received by the local Wabash office directly from President Ram- who has recently returned from a trip over the eastern end of the line, that the extension into Pittsburg s being rushed, the comstruction work will be completed on time, Janury 1, and the road be thrown open to transpoftation The recent acquisition by the Wabash ot the Wheeling & Lake Erie, beginning at the Wabash's old Lake Eris terminous and extending to Jewett, O,, takes the Wabash within sixty-one miles of thé Smoky City, and the remainder of the way is being bullt as rapidly as possible. Some of the ties and rails are already lald, Owing to the fact that the company 1is bullding two large and somplicated bridges, one over the Ohlo, and the other over the Monongahela rivers, as means of com- pleting its line Into Pittsburg, President Ramsey considers it quile remarkable to be able to announce that the entire con- struction work will be finished on time. This he says, I8 assured, however, a fact over which is s personally elated. Some rematkable architecture and build- ing 1s involved in this palr “of bridges. The one spanning the Monongahela river will contain the longest single span in the world, 828 feet. The Ohlo river bridge is being built from the respective sides of the river, the completion to be at the mid- dle junction of the two etensions “When we have our own lne running continuously from Omaha to Plttsburg it will then be only a question of time until it is extended to the Atlantio seaboard,” says a Wabash masn. “This marks the beginning of the fight between the Pennsylvania and the Goulds. The former has held what it considered & sort of prior clalm to that territory and. has maintained rather deflant attitude, which finally be- came too irritating to the Gould faction, hence the aggressive action of the latter.” Rock Island Retrenchment. In connection with it general plan of reorganizationt the Rook Island is said fo have launched 4 géneral retrenchment pol- fey.

All these retrenchments are eald to be in line with the brders sént out from head- quarters to reducé operating expenses wherever possible in order to swell the earning report don to be made. It is still the general bellet among local rallroad men that the Rock Island's prime motive is to get hold of the 'Frisco for a coast extensibn and the press reports stat. ng that the comnany has filed new articles of incorporation, doubling its capital stock, confirm this belief. - It is urged by men here who are watching the developments that the Rock Island must acquire the ‘Frisco or an- other coast extension in order to sustain its avowed polioy of aggression upon which it w6t out with such dgtermination. BIOKETTS R GAGED, At Courtland Beach This Woek a: All of Next Week. The Bickett family, now giving afternoon and evening performances at Courtland Beach, having proved such & big drawing card, Manager Grifiths has re-engaged them for all of mext week. This announcement will be appreciated by all who have seen the Bicketts the past week, as their shows are of that high order that bear witnessing several tfmes without becoming tiresome in the least. And to those who have missed these dally performances, the an- nouncement will also be gratifying, as they have heard the Bicketts' acts praised so highly and they will now have an oppor- tunity to witness the most refined and ar- tistically aerial performances ever seen at & summer resort.

A flurry of interest was created in the city hall yesterdsy morning by the fact that Mayor Moores, J. J. O'Connor and City Ate torney Connell were closeted togethier for some time in the office of the latter, and uu supposition was that O'Connor’s right a position on the Board of Fire and Po- llu commissioners was under discussion. This, however, the parties to the conference denled. “The meeting was entirely accidental,” sald Mr. Connell. “O'Connor dropped in 10 see about an appeal in & case against the city in which he is interested. In regard to this Fire and Police board matter, I would like to modify the statement I made yesterday. 1 want to say that until I get the records from the supreme court, which 1 expect in & day or so, I'll not be prepared to announce my position in regard to the legal right of the present board' to hold office, or to advise its members regarding the couree they should pursue in the event the governor's appointees demand posses- slon of the offices. 1 am, however, certain that points wbich are not only material, but absolutely controlling, bave been wholly ignored or overlooked im the Savage mandamus case, in connection with which the' court has just decided that ft is the duty of the governer to appoint the board.” In & Class All Ale) No other pills on earth can equal Dr. King's New Life Pills for stomach, liver and kidneys.

Automobiles must stay oft the boule- vards and keep out of the parks. The Board of Park Commissioners has so des creed. The new rule.went into effect yester- day, and the police department has re- celved Instructions to enforce it. The rea- son Is that the Omaha horse is not edu- cated up to an acceptance of the automo- bile as a fixed institution and until such education has been acquired the chauf- feur must keep to thoroughfares dedi- cated to common traffic and to the “dirt” roads. “Take the boulevard between Hanscom and Riverview parks,” said J. H. Evans, president of the board. “The driveway s very narrow and fills and cuts are frequent. Suppose an automobile should come thun- dering along that stretch of read at a thirty-mile clip and should meet you or overtake you while you were driving & spirited horse—it would be almost certain to result in an accident, as there Is barely room enough to turn out even under the most favorable circumstances. The same 1s true In a general way of the driveways in the parks. They are all narrow and in places precipitous and it is impracticable to permit them to be used In common by both automobilist and drivers of horse power vehicles. It may be that, in course of time, when motor cars become more common and horses in consequence become accustomed to them, this .ule can be abrogated. This board has no desire to be severe with the chauffeurs, I am sure, but it feels that It must take this step for the safety of the majority of the publie. “Another reason we had for excluding automobiles from parks and boulevards was that the average chauffeur is too ambi- tious to break speed records. He declifies to tonform to the speed ordinances of the oity, but goes tearing along over the streets at a terrific rate, seemingly forget- tul that pedestrians or people in more con- ventional vehicles have rights which they ought to observe.” ed by a vote of thres to Aye—Evans, Lininger, Nays—Cornish, Gonden—2. The police department was requested to detall officers to prevent swimming and bathing in the lake at Riverview park, a custom which fs sald to be very prevalent this eummer.

PHILADELPHIA, July 81.—Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel corporation, passed through this eity today on his way from Atlantic City to Pittsburg. He traveled in his private car and showed no trace of his recent indisposi- tion. CONFER ON BIG HORN BASIN Semator Dietrich and Colonel Cody Talk Over Prepesed Lemislatt Senator Dietrich left for Lincoln yesterday afternoon after spending a couple of days in Omaha. Yesterday morning he and Celonel |W. F. Cody had a, conference regarding affairs relative to the developmont of morth- western Wyoming, where both of them are heavily interested In land. ‘‘'The conference whs not pre-arranged, said the senator. “We met and, being In- terested in the same part of the country to a certain extent, we naturally talked about those matters. There is consider- able discussion naw about increasing the size of the Yellowstone park, by taking in part of the western side of the Big Horn basin. It has also been proposed to place the same land in the forest reserve. Many of the persons who oppose placing the land in the park favor placing it under the operation of the forest reserve law. It it is placed in the park it will be impos- sible for cattiemen to run their stock upon the land, while if it be placed In the forest reserve the cattle can still be grased over the laud. T know the country well, having hunted over it many times, Mr. Cody sgreed with me in the contention that there are few It any natural characteristi which would warrant placing the land within the limits.of the parks, but neither of us expiessed any declded preference for either plan. “T h been so busy with the irrigation bill which was passed by tbe last con- gress that I have had no opportunity to glive the reservation extension the thought which it requires. I was especlally pleased to have the senators and répre- sentatives come together upon ths provi- slon for federal control and mansgement under state laws, as I first proposed that plan at the Omaha conference held last year. I expect at the next session of con- gress to carry out another idea suggested by me at that conference, and that is the employment of federal and state prisone: upon the construction of irrigation works. I did not want to Incorporate it in the present law, as we wanted that relleved from as much of the detall as possible, but under the terms of that law, the settler upon the reclaimed land is to re- fund to the government the cost of the irrigation system, it is to the Interest of the public that that cost be as low possible. We can employ the federal pri oners at less expenses than we can hire labor, and the army of the country can be well enmployed in guarding them. We could thus do work on Indlan re 'vations where the government can never be re- imbursed for its expenditure, and in the s 8 we can undertake improvements far larger In scope than if we have to employ free labor.” A WELL KNOWN ALBANY MAN About elghtesn months ago Mr. W. 8.

Judge Read nmrdu granted a writ of mlandamus according to which the olty council 1s direbted” to Day to Alphonse Metzger $800 out of jthe judgment fund to pay for a strip of land on Twentieth street near Ames avenue, taken by the city sev- eral years ago to widen Twentieth street. The writ will not' be effective at once, however, since City Attorney. Connell has taken an appeal to ‘the supreme court. After the land was taken by the city a special fund was created and the city council ted that it should be pald for out of fund. There was no money pald into this fund, however, owing to & controversy over special Assessments, whereupon Metzger insisted that the judgment which he held by assignment from the Fannie Croft heirs should be pald from the judg- ment fund, ‘a conteation which Judge ut Read sustained. It is likely that by the time the supreme court has ruled on the case, sald Mr. Connell, th money enough in the special fund to pay it.
