LOOMIS IN THICK OF FICHT Omaha Lawyer Stays East to Help Fight Dissolution Order. HARRIMAN MEN HOPE TO WIN Iuterests Belleve Worst Be Segregation of Southern Pacific, with Line to Const Left Intact, Nelson H. Loomis, general solicitor of the Union Pacific, will be detained for | two months In New York ana Washing- | ton, the significance of which statement is that the Harriman legal family is ar- wayed for a fight to the finish against the | dissolution of the Southern Pacific-Union | Pacific merger as ordersd by the govern- ment. Mr! Loomis has been east on this mis- | slon for many weeks. e is one of the | prineipal counsel In the case. The raliroad world has faith in tho de- feat of the order. Or, If the order Is up- held by the supreme court, then, railroad men assert, the most that will be done | will be the segregatian of the various prop- erties constituting the Southern Pacific | from San Francisco down around the | lower and of California with their ramifi- | eations in the southwest anc on o New | Orleans. But (hey belleve the line from | Omaha to San Franclsco, which Is con tinous, despite the fact that it Is called | Unlon Pacitic from Omaba to Ogden and Bouthern Pacific from there to the coast, ‘will be left intact. This line, the old Cen- tral Pacific on the west and Union Pa- eific on the east, was bullt contemporane- ously and joined by the celobrated golden sptke at Promontory Point, Utah, and has siways been, to all practical purposes one line of raliroad. West Ag Dissolution The rallroad Interests urge that Omaha in particular #nd San Franciseo on the west, as the termini pf this line, and the whole west Intervening, are anxlous that the merger be not applied "o this transcon- tinental line. Well. posted financlal authorities in New York state that the Union Pacific has re- | cently acquired $16,000,000 and $17,000,000 ad- | ditional Southern Pacific common stock, or enough to givé the Unlon Pacific a controlling Interest of 51 per cent in the Southern Pacific. Unlon Pacitic has owned for some years 4 per cent of combined common and preferréd stocks. The story has this element of plausi- bility that the legislation which President Taft has recommended provides that where a road already owns 51 per cent of the stock of another company it may acquire the balance. The move on the part of the Unlon Pacific is belleved to be In the general plan of obtaining absolute con- trol of the Southern Pacific. | May Resuscitate City Ordinance Argument Held to Determine Validity of Billboard Regulation in 0ld Injunction Suit. A oity ordinance chloroformed for three years by an injunction of district court shows signs of restlessness, as if preparing to emerge from its long state of coma. ‘The ordinance is:the one regulating bill- boards in Omahal and W officlally num- | bered 6135 Argument 1s now on before Judge Es- telle in dfstrigt court over ths making per- manent or the dise 'ving of the temporary injunction.

The ordinance provides .that billboards shall not rise more than 11% feet above the sidewalk level, shall not be more than 2) feet In length and that permission and loense be obtalned before belng erected.

FIRST NATIONAL SEEMS IN CLEAR Bank Will Have to Fight for Mort- ®age on Real Batate, Charge of Preference Being Mnde Againat C) E. J. Leary, trustee in tankruptey for the | Tolf Hanson estate, is preparing to cut up [the sum of $47,00 among the ecreditors [of the dead restauranteur. Of this, $26,850 }nmo trom the sale of the Calumet, the | balance accruing from the sales of furni- ture in the Hanson cafe and the profits ! of operating the Calumet for a number of months. As It now looks, the First Natlonal bank, heaviest of the creditors, will come out of it fairly well and the condolences extended by some persons to officers of the bank scem to have been premature. The First National bank has an aceount of $67,000 against the Hanson estate. This is reduced by §20,000 by the Iife Insurance which the bank held as collateral for loans, It also had a first mortgage on the Han- son residence and the house next door which are estimated at §20,000. This lcaves o balance of $27,00. Againe: this the bank has a quantity of stock of the Courtney company, worth at par value $30,000. There will be a fight over the securing by the bank of Tolf Hanson's real estate, his residence and the house next door. It Is contended that the property was trans- ferred after Mr. Hanson had become in- solvent and that the bank was therefore an unduly preferred creditor. Next to the First National the heaviest | creditor Is John Harte, contractor, who | claims $17,00. Mr. Harte has no security except the clalm of a mechanic's lien on the bullding, and over this he and G. E. Shukert may litigate. Mr. Leary recently filed a trustee's re- port with G. M. McDonald, referee in bank- ruptey. The report covers fifty-eight type- written page: mostly figures. CHAUTAUQUA TRUST LATEST THING IN THE COMBINE LINE It May Have Regular Spourers Freese Up the Smi#ll Pipes. Rumor of a proposed combination of all the Lyceum and Chautauqua bureaus in | the country havo reached Omoha. The proposal, as outlined, involves the eutting out of all platform people except those who | have proved the best drawing cards for the box office and the placing of these on a yearly salary basis. Judge Lee S. Estelle, who has been doing Chautauqua work now for two vears, says he does not belleve such a combination can be made, although he belfeves there are attractions who would be glad such a coup if they could. ““There are men in great demand all over the country,” sald Judge Estelle, “who could not be engaged by the vear for any price. At present there are some men who are paid by the vear and sent to any place they may be called for by the people who buy and sell talent. These men make platform work a life business. But beyond all this, there are too many independent Chautauqua circuits to make such a com- bination possible or profitable, Some of these make money and some do not, in thi te and In others. There will al- ways be competition In this rapidly de- veloping Iine of educational work, in my Judgment, because what one section wants another section does not want, and a man or a group of people that will make a hit and fatten the box office receipts in Ne- braska might be a total fallure in an ad- Joining state. to make Persistent Advertising Is the road to Big Returns.

It's all because a boy in the bullding approached one of the officials, not knowing who he was, and asked for a mateh. The boy had just completed rolling a clgarette and was pulling the strings of a tobacco sack with his teeth when an elderly man came into the hall. “Say, mister; gimme a match," said the boy. The railroad officlal stopped suddenly, looked upon his small audience with sur- prise, and sald: “You won't do any smoking In this build- ing, young man; it's against the rules.

The housewife may grumble at the high price of butter and occupants of boarding houses may be eating olcomargarine for the genuine article and not knowing it be- cause of the same financial situation, but Fred Miller, who is doing time in the city jail had more than he required when De- tectives Mitchell and’ Sullivan ran him to earth In a dllapidated bullding, bteween Ninth and Tenth streets. The theft of two tubs of butter was reported by the North- western rallroad officlals. Mystery shrouded the transaction untfl Miller was caught. But he hed evidently disposed of part of the spoil, as but one tub of sixty- one pounds of butter was found. Miller also had a penchant for automobile sup- plies, for among his possessions were dis- covered jacks and other articles that go to make up the chauffeur's kit. He got fif- teen days. Music Machine Fails to Please Stolen Phonograph Sold to Resort Not Popular There and is Returned. The’ phonograph Henry Murray fs said to have stolen from the City mission on Tenth street was as much out of place in the resort at 1005 Capitol avenue \as “the parrot the sailor sold to the soclety woman. i The bird from the far east was In the habit of using naughty language and the phonograph—well, the music which ema- nated from it was neither ragtime nor the latest popular ballad. The environment was not congenial either to bird or ma- chine and the purchaser had the good taste to turn it to Mrs. Magee of the city mis- slon. She also reported the matter to the police and was told to keep tab on Murray. The phonograph, which is valued at $100 and was sold by Murray for $10, was purloined January 21 and disposed of shortly after. Murray did not show up again at 1005 Capi- tol avenue until yesterday afternoon, where he was detained by various pretenses until Detectives Maloney and Van Deusen ar- rived and took him to the station. Murray waived examination and is held for the district court on $00 bond.
