MUST AWAIT_BERT'S RETURN Conductors and Brakemen CangGet No Action om Their De- mands Now. 5 t ) Union Pacific officlals have dectded that they can take no steps with regard to the increase of wages demanded by the con- ductors and brakemen without the ald of President Burt. As a consequence the mem- D |bers of the grievance committee of the 5 | Union Pacific division of the Brotherhood of Rallway Trainmen now in the city for that purpose, will of necessity wait here ti1l the return of the president. S. A. Macomber, president of the Unlon Pacific division of the Order of Rallway Conductors, had an appointment with Su- perintendent of Transportation Buckingham for 10:30 yestorday morning, at which it was thought the matter would be taken up. At that time, however, Mr. Buckingham fin- formed Mr. Macomber that mothing could be done without President Burt, so the proposition to have the wages raised 20 per {' | cent will go over for & few days at least.

REDDING PLEADS NOT GUILTY Englishman Says He is “Nilling to Take Law's Punishment, However. Lloyd Redding, altas James Davis, charged with adultery, stood before Judge Berka in the police court yesterday for his pre- liminary hearing. After the reading of the warrant by the court the prisoner was asked how he desired to plead. “I am not gullty. I waive all examina- tions,” replied theiprisoner. “I then bind you over to the district court in the sum gf $400 bail,” replied the court. i Deputy County Attorney Burnam in- spected the warrant and made out his off- clal list of witnesses, while the prisoner 01 a short history of his life in England and what he knew regarding the marriage laws of the United States. He said that he had left England under a ban and had asked his wife, who was re- siding with him st Great Missen, to flee from the country to the United States with him. To this she would not consent, and he sald that he left her, hoping to return in a few years—after the shortage In his ac- counts was forgotten—and again provide for her. He admitted that he had never been divorced trom his wife in England and said that he knew he was committing a wrong when he was wedded on this side of the ocean. Mrs. Davis, the American wite, swore out the warrant for thie arrest ot her husband and means to push the case to the limit, she says. She claims that her little home, which was purchased with money from her first husband's estate, has been mortgaged by Davis and the proceeds squandered until she Is now homeless, practically, and with- out the means she possessed when she was wedded to the Englishman. Davis sald that he did not desire to have any legal defense made for him and was willing to take his punishment. He had no triends here who would come to his assist- ance with the ball bond, and he was re- turned to the city jail to await his transter to the sheriff's quarters. AVERTS STRIKE OF ICE MEN Union Pacifie Wages Within Three Hours After Receiving Demand, Adyances It was learned yesterday that last Satur- day the Unfon Pacific barely escaped an- other strike on the part of its employes.

As regards the speediness of settlement this controversy wi -breaker. It | took just three hours after the ultimatum had been issued by the ice men for the matter to be patched up.

No matinee will be given owing to the com- pany’s inabllity to arrive from Denver in time. “The Heart of Maryland” has been glven in Omaha quite a number of times, but never will be seen to so excellent an advantage as on this visit. Alma Kreuger, who was the first to succeed Mrs. Leslie Carter in the role of Maryland Calvert, is again with the company, playing her old part. Her support is the best that could be obtained. Her work in the great belfry scene and Wer scene with the drunken cap- tain is said to better than ever. The muslc of “Ben-Hur" is a feature which has attracted professional as well as popular interest. Edgar Stillman Kelley, the composer, is an authority on this side of the Atlantic on anclent and Orfental mu- sic. His score s one of the most interest- ing features of this most extraordinary pro- duction. Speaking of his musie, Mr. Kel- ley sald: “When I read ‘Ben-Hur' for the first time, T wrote down in my sketchbook the theme of ‘The Star’; of course I had no idea it would be used in this connection, but the theme was religlous in character, and I merely designed it for oratorio. When spoken to in regard to writing the music for ‘Ben-Hur’ I at once thought of it in this connection. If the music is rendered in its entirety, which at present is not the case, it is the unifying them SWITCH ENGINE Frelght IN WRECK Cars P Locomotive Down Grade Tro Because of insufficient alr a train of freight cars got away with a Union Pacific locomotive on & down grade in the upper | ‘yards early yesterday morning and as a consequence of the collision which followed No. 1196, the biggest switch engine in the yards, is now put out of commission with a smashed tank and a lot of broken pipes. The accident was primarily the fault of a | lever man in the switch tower, who threw the train onto the wrong track, but even ! then the engine crew could have easily held nization, | | pecting usual and | the ca snuff. At 5:45 yesterday morning No. 1196 was pulling & string of twenty-one “loads” and npties” along the upper yards, and ehman gave the lantern signal for a certaln track. This the man in the tower interpreted wrongly, and threw the train nto another track. The engineer was ex- the level ground which he knew prevailed along the track he should be on. When he finally discovered that behind had the engine been up to find his weekly earnings substantially in- | moving on a down grade it was too late to creased.
