E. Markel & Son. Unless the heirs of Paul J. Sorg, late of Middleton, O., find another ténant before that date the famous old house, firet opened in July, 1882, and under Markel management almost ever since that date, must close for a time, at least. The reasons were thus recounted yester- day by J. B. Markel, atter he had decided upon his course “The Sorg heirs wanted me to renew my lease with a provision for paying $8,000 per year rental and 1 to keep up the re~ pairs Last year the repairs were $8,000, and 1 estimate that this year they may be equally expensive, hence 1 felt I could not renew at that figure, and made them a proposition to pay $4,500 and do my own repalring. They declined this, and so we simply couldn’t get together. Now, 1 wouldn't agree to terms that I would have accepted twenty-four hours ago. Markel's Plans for Fatare, “I shall continue my residence in Omaha, rooming perhaps at the Iler Grand the rest of the winter, and shall devote my entire time to our rallroad catering. My son,, Pryor, who has been the other mem- ber of the firm since 1854, will continue at the Kansas City end of the business. What the Borg heirs intend fo do I don't know, but presume they are negotiating for an- other tenant. They made overtures to the Deans of the Baltfmore In Kansas City, 1 understand, which may account for the visit of Willls Wood last Sunday. ‘How- ever, it T am correctly informed, the Deans turned down their proposition. The Sorg heirs will have the ground, 154 feet on Douglas and 132 on Thirteenth, the bulld- ing, containing about 140 guest rooms, and also the furnishings of the house. We step Lout entirely,” History of the House. Ofthh history of the house Mr. Markel eald *Sam Shears, Thomas Swobe and.J, as the Hotel Assoclation of Omaba, bought the ground, bullt the house and opened it in July, 1882. In 1586 Shears retired. In 1891 Swobe and I sold the grourd to Paul J. Sorg for $200,000 and took a ninety-nine- year lease on it at 6 per cent met. April 1, 1892, I sold my interest in the furniture and my interest in the leasehold for tem years to Swobe. October 15, 1804, the Sorgs were preparing to oust Svobe because he was $20,000 in arrears for rent, and 1 stepped in and shouldered the burden. Eventually 1 found I could not pay the $12,000 rental and pay off the old indebted- ness, and finally. that I could not pay even $10,000 rental, to which figure it had been reduced by that time. Then followed the Mtigation of last winter, which terminated in my taking hold another ygar at $8,000. ‘The year is up this month and I prefer to step out rather than continue at the old figure with the burden of keeping up the “epairs.” Iu response to a telegram frory The Be Mr. Al Dean of Kansas City sald"last night that nefther he nor his company eontem- “* pYited’ ciking the Millard hotel property. * TELLS STORY OF MARTINIQUE Frank . Oma Robers: Deser! nd Plotures the Voleanie Work. Before an audience which filled Boyd's theater to its capacity Frank R. Roberson gave a etereopticon lecture last might on the Isié of Martinique and its receat de- vastation by the eruptions of Mount Pelee. This address was the third event in the Young Men’s Christian assoclation lecture course for the current season. Interest in the speaker was especlally keen, because fs a former Omahan, and at ome time actively connected with the association here as an assistant secretary. Mr. Roberson's views were ramarkable for their beauty, their appropriateness and the wisdom of their selection, being an ed- ucation in themeelves. He was a member of the party which went south in May last to Martinique on the transport which Pres- fdent Roosevelt gent out with supplies and food for the sufferers. He secured the views at that time. The speaker sald, among other things: “Martinique ls forty-five miles long and elghteen miles across at its widest place. On the 1st of May last its population was 165,000 souls. Now it is 8,000. The largesc clity St. Plerre, which.before the erup- tions had a population of 41,000; every one of those is gome. St. Plerre is but four miles and & halt from Mount Pelee. “Martipique is French, yet the United States sent thirty times as much money and twenty-five times as much food to its ald as any other nation. There was great suffering, the people fghting for their food like animals at the noonday distribution. The misery was greatly allayed by what Uncle Sam sent.” Grievanee of Comml; CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—The National Leag: attention to the advisability of takin action against the express companies whic) are sald to be competing with bers thelr organization.

Gould, sccording to the American, has ordered his attorney to make final drafts of the charter for the securities compuny under which he | is to collect all his railroad properties east of the Mississippl. The company will be organized under Pennsylvania laws, as Mr. Gould believes that by getiing a charter in that state he will be in a better position to fight the | | Pennsylvania railroad. The capital named in the charter will be nominal, but there will be a clause author- izing its increase. The first move was to take in the several small roads about Pittsburg which form the entrance to that eity. As the Wabash and other roads are taken in from time to time the capital will be increased in proportion—until, with bonds, 1t reaches $300,000,000. There will be no underwriting syndicate, as a mere exchange of stock Is contem- plated. While there Is no absolute statement from an official to that effect, it s intimated the Chicago Great Western, the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg and the Wisconsin Central will be found In the Gould com- pany. Vice President Oppenheim of the Chicago Great Western sailed from London jfluesday for New York, bearing the pur- chased control of that road for body, presumably Mr. Gould. As soon as the detalls ot this eastern company have all been announced the securities company for the western Gould roads will be incorporated. But, first, the consent of the Texas legislature is wanted to a consolidation of the Gould properties in that state. This application is now before the legislature, The Missourl Pacific will be the central feature of the western company, while others will be the Texas Pacifie, 8t. Louls & Southwestern, Iron Mountain, Denver & Rio Grapde, Rio Grande Western, Inter- national & Great Northern and other small roads controlled by these. It is authoritatively denled that the Goulds are buying Erfe at present or that they seek control of that road. The Times says that negotiations are pending which will result, in all probabil- ity, in the acquisition of a controlling in- terest in the Erle rallroad by the Rock Island interests. Confirmatfon of this statement has been obtained from a reliable banking authority, from whom It is aleo learned that the firm ot j. P. Morgan & Co. has no objection to the acquisition of the Erfe by the Rock Island, provided the price pald is high enough to be an incentive for such a trans- action. From this same authority comes the statement that the Rock Island people are some- anxious to secure an eastern outlet, and | that it is merely a question of terms under which the deal is to be concluded. Benjamin P. Cheney, who fs one of the largest dealers in Santa Fe stocks and bon rector In several lesser western roads, in- cluding the St. Louls & San Francisco, has arrived here via Panama. In an in- terview he said that he did not think the Rock Island road was trying to get control of the Banta Fe. He would mot be surprised to see the completion of the Stilwell road from Kan- sas City to Topolobampo, but could say nothing definite about the extension of the 8t. Louls & San Francisco to this coast. The report that Rock Island interests have been negotiating with J. P. Morgan & Co. for the purchase of the Erie railroad was dented today by & member of Mr. Morgan's firm. It was stated that thers were no negotiations and that Mr. Morgan had not eeen reports of the Moore interests for some time. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.—The Wells- Fargo Express company has ordered its agents to give the preference to the Pa- cific Express over all other express com- panies in the routing of through business. The Pacific Express has issued similar instructions to all of its agents. This ia in pursuance of a plan recently decided | upcn by E. H. Harriman of New York. The Southern Pacific is a large holder of Wells-Fargo stock and Mr. Harriman is a director in the latter and chairman of its executive committee. The Union Pacific, Mr. Harriman and George Gould own the Pacific Express company. While there is no consolidation of off- cers, stock or finances, there s to be a community of business and the latter is looked upon as the forerunner of an actual consolidation. It is understood that -this combine will soon swallow the Denver & Rio Grande Express, on the road of the same name, the latter belng a Gould line, SAYS ROADS GAVE REBATES Secret Service Agent Has Strong Evi- dence to Lay Before Commerce C erstate mission, CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—The Record-Herald tomorrow will Alleged. serious vio- lations of the interstate commerce law by eastern and western lines are to be investi- gated by the Interstate COmmerce commis- sion at apother session in Chicago begin- ning next Tuesday.

Ryan in Chief Donahue's office yesterday afternoon Judge C. B. Baldwin expressed | himself as quite convinced, though not unmistakably certain, that Ryan was the Charles Thompson who figured as principal in the murder of Willlam Nestle in the Farnam street alley, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, in 1880. Judge Baldwin defended Reynolds, who was con- victed of being an accomplice of Thomp- son, and the latter was pointed out to the judge by Reynolds at the time of the trial. The judge's statement further convinces Chiet Donahue that Ryan was Thompson, vet the chief does not consider that a con- viction can be secured upon such evidence, and, as the principal witnesses in the Rey- nolds case, including Reynolds himself, have vanished, the police probably will not undertake the conviction of Ryan for the ‘Nestle murder. Some Unrelated History. Incidental to the inspection yesterday afternoon, Judge Baldwin related some un- known circumsiances of the rather famous Reynolds trial, which was in December, 1900. He stated that Reynolds told him that he had come to Omaha with Thomp- son from a grading camp and undertaken the burglary of the shoe store, when Nestle, a clerk, discovered them and gave chase. He stated that Thompeon fired the fatal shot back over his shoulder, random aim. Furthermore, he stated that Thompsop, supposed to have fled the city, was then in the courtroom watching the trial and in- dicated the man so that Judge Baldwin might have a look at him. Reynolds would not, however, even to save himselt, tell the story on the stand nor permit Thompson's presence to be made known, and the judge, under the circumstances, felt duty-bound to keep faith with his client until the ver- dict should be fn. By that time Thompson was gone. Judge's Description Fits. The judge still remembers the face and feels very certain that he recognizes it on Ryan's shoulders. He described the man before he saw him yesterday and his de- seription fitted the Bertillon photograph and measurements In all except weight. Ryan, when brought from the county jall in frons, and after being inspected by Judge Baldwin, was questioned closely by Chiet Donahue. He again admitted having been in Omaha fourteen years ago, but stated that after working some time as a dish- washer in Clark & Anderson’s restaurant city he drifted to California and remained there until recently, when he returned to Omaha and was almost immediately ar- rested on a charge of robbing B. Bahnsen He denied ever having used the a “Thompson,” and avers he never was under arrest before, though admitting his life has been wrecked by drink. Reynolds, whose parents sent $600 from England to Baldwin to defend_him, was seen last 1n Omaha shortly after his release from prison. He then met Detective Sayv- age on Jackson street and informed him he was going to Philadelphla to lye and re form. CURLERS PLAY FOR TROPHIES George Anderson Wins Troup Point Medal for Second Consecu- tive Year. The members of the Omaha Curling club met Wednesday morning at Cut Off lake and played off the competition for the Troup Point medal and the cup presented by P. L. Forgan. The curling stones pre- sented by Thomas Kllpatrick were not played for, as the ice became too Soft to admit of accurate playing. Eight entered the contest for the medal and George Anderson won, R. 8. Melvin sec- 4, R. E. Patrick and Jam. . Lind- tied for third place, James Bowle und ." L, Forgan tie lowed by W. J. ¥ drum. The medal was donated in 1899 by A. C. Troup, who was then president, to be played for annually and to become the property of any member who won it three times in succession. George Anderson won it the first year, 159, James C. Lindsay in 190, Thomas Meldrum in 1901, George An- derson in 1902 and 1903, Thus Mr. Anderson has only to win it next year to have abso- lute ownership. It le a gold medal em- blematic of the game, with goldenrod and thistle entwined around it. W, J. Hislop won the Forgan cup and it becomes his own, as he has won It two years in succession, which were the terms | of the gift, and it had only been two years In_ existence. It was very playing on poor lee, that 1s, soft, or “drug.’” as the curlers cali it, and the ‘Kilpatrick curling stones wiii be competed for at an early date, when con- ditions are better for the game. An ordinary game was then played by two rinks, of which George Anderson and W, J. Hislop were skips, with the result that Anderson’s rink won easily, but it was conceded that it whs one of (he most en- joyable games the club has vet had, much merriment telng cauged by the frantic and herolc efforts to get the stones up to the desired location through the soft, sticky ice. Afterward the players enjoved a sub- stantlal repast, the cost being defrayed principally by the winners.

Tillman Denounces President. The resolution introduced by Mr. Hoar (Mass.) yesterday calling on the president to inform the senate what government now existed in Guam, and asking why Mabini | | was detained in that island, was adopted, and then the Vest resolution regarding the revival of duty on coal was taken up and Mr. Tillman resumed his remarks. He declared that the railronds were abso- lutely in the saddle on the coal question. They mined and marketed coal and fixed the prices without regard to a solitary In- dependent operator. He #ald it _was an infamy the way the press of the country was prostituted and | lent itself to befuddle the minds of the | people and deceive them fnto the idea that the rallroads were willing and anxious to relieve the stress occasioned by the coal tamine, but that somebody, somewhere, called an independent operator, was re- sponsible for the present condition of af- | fairs The president deserved credit, sald he, excopt for his attempt to effect a settle- ment of the question, ‘“‘but the actual fact he added, “that J gave orders to his co-conspirators or serv- ants to attempt the arrangement between the monopoly and striker The attorney general has been dereliot and criminal, and was the man to whom the people could point and say: “You have murdered all those who have frozen to death.

Plerpont Morgan or his co-conspirators any more immune from the proceedings of our courts | of justice than Eugene Debs?" Mr. Morgan, he sald, had such a sanctity thrown around him on account of his vast wealth that to fmprison him would cause the stars to get out of their course or the sun to stand still. He sald he had brought in the president’s name because he was the “boss” of Knox, and If Mr. Knox was re- sponsible ho either had misled the presi- dent or somebody else had misled him; but, primarily, Mr. Knox, wi for lack of action against the trusts. responsible Upon the conclusion of Mr. Tillman's re- marks Mr. Spooner stated that several sen- ators desired to speak onm the resolution and asked that it go over, which was agreed to. The statehood bill then was taken up and Mr. Foraker (0.) spoke in favor of the omnibus bill granting statehood to Okla- homa, Arizona and New Mexico. The Indianola (Miss.) postoffice case -was brought up by Mr. McLaurin (Miss,), who read an article in_the Washington Post to the effect that the postmaster’s resig- nation was forced by a brutal and lawless mob. In denying that this was so, Mr. McLaurin sald the president had treated him with great courtesy, but that he was acting on misinformation. Indianola were not lawless and brutal, but high-toned, honorable, chivalrous, intelli- gent, industrious and thrifty.

The opposition to the measure came en- tirely from the democrats and was based chiefly on the ground that the transfer of the Bureau of Labor to the new depart- ment would subordinate that bureau to capitalistic interests. The friends of the bill dented the assumption that the head of the new department would be hostile to labor, maintaining the bill would increase the dignity of the Bureau of Labor by giv- ing its head a seat in the cabinet, TURN OUT DUMB DELINQUENTS Police Drive Cattle from Chicka: w Ration When Owners Re to Phy Tax.
