PAUL THE GREAT WESTERN RAISES, TO0 ‘ Joins Other Omaha-Chicago Lines on Advancing Beef Rates. THIS MEANS A FIGHT TO FINISH BEE: Bxpreased the Bellef that There Was More Bark Than Bite in 1t | Packers and the railroads are now sched uled for a finleh fight over rates on dressed |beet from South Omaha to Chicago wnd eastern points. | The Chicago Great Western, upon which | the packers depended to break the plan of the other roads to ralse the rates, has | &tven notice that its contract will not be enewed at the old rate of 18'4 cents, vir-| tually meaning that the old Maple Leaf [hias been won over to the side of the other | roads. The present contract with the Chicago Great Western does not expire untfl May 2, a month later than the contracts with | the other roads. Representatives of other | roads state that a new tariff has not yet | been filed with the Interstate Commerce | commission, but wili, all roads favoring the increase. The new schedule will be sub- | mitted to authorlties at Wakhington for approval That the Increase in the rates will never become a reality was the belief expressed | by big packers and an official of the Bur- lington rallroad before word of the Great Western's surrender, “There's more bark than bite to the proposition,” is the way one packer ex- pressed his sentiment in the matter. According to the present status all the Toads operating between Omaha and Chi- cago have under consideration a plan to raise the through charges from Omaha to the east from I8% to 23% cents and the local charge trom 20 to 2 cents. The moves | ment 1s apparently championed by the Burlington and the Northwestern, which have an eye on the long hauls trom the west. C. E. Spens, general freight agent of lh.| Burlington route, says that his office has not yet been advised of any Increase in the existing rates. Mr. Spems, George H. Crosby, the freight traffic manager, and Charles G. Burnham, the,vice president of the Burlington, have just returned from an Interstate commerce hearing at Billings, Mont. I aee “The increase has been under considera- tion,” sald Mr. Spens, “but has not been adopted. It the new tariff is filed with the Interstate Commerce commission we would be advised of the matter here. How- ever, with even one road refusing to enter into the plan it would not be adopted.” ‘Raglan Still On Lil’> Arthur’s Back Two Gentlemen, One Poker Game and Smart Coat Cause Rough House. “He "lowed as how he'd cut off my hald If I didn’t pawn my.overcoat and give him de chang testified Richard Corbin, negro, in the prosecution of Arthur B.

This has no reference to the stereotyped backyard fence, but concerns the fence or fences now enclosing all of the sidewalk and helf of the street on the east, west and south sides of the new county bulld- ing. Protest has been ralsed against the in- trusiveness of these board structures to such an extent that members of the city council and the county board have taken the matter up with the contractors. M chants ¢n BSeventeenth, between Farnam and Harney, point out that they are now shut in much more than I8 necessary, and assert that when- construction is begun on the new bullding at the corner of Harney and Seventeenth they will be isolated, ex- possibly, from the Farnam street The Caldwell & Drake company, con- tractors for the ocourt house, who have thus acquired a material yard of large dimensions, say they have a permit from the bullding inspector, and pay $1 & month for the privilege. The permit was issued by direction of the city council, which sent a resolution to the bullding inspector telling him to make it out. When interviewed by some of the city of- ficials who have interested themselves, the coutractors say they are willing to move the fence, or to permit its removal back to the sidewalk line, If the city and county Jointly will bear the expense. There's where the c¢ity and the county officlals balk, but in private conversation, they almost admit that they are caught holding the sack. The fence sticks out in front of the main entrance to the fire house at Bighteenth and Harney, and also encloses within its bounds & fire plug on the Seventeenth street side, opposite the alley running from the east side of that thoroughfare. Prac- tical men among the city rulers, who have looked over the material within the en- closure, say It can very readily be put in one-quarter the space now taken up by the contractors.

Bloom's attorney exhibited a bullding per- mit and declared that it gave his client the privilege of using the strest by an implied assent of the eity. “Stralghten up the place as it should be,” sald Judge Crawford. “If this 1s not done by ¥riday, bring Mr. » Bloom inte court,” OMAHA, TUESDAY, Some Packers and Rallroad Men Had | FEBRUA Knew He Was Hit, All Right Young Man Who Oggles at Women on Street Comes to Grief in | Police Court.
