Finch and husband to 2 : UMAHA, TUESDAY, CONFERENGE HERE Representatives from Several Cities to Work Out Applica- tion of New Rate. TO BE HELD ON FRIDAY A conference of traffic men from . Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Atchison, Kansas City, and possibly Chicago, St. Louis, Lincoln, Hastings, Fre- mont and Beatrice, is to be held in Omaha the first part of August. E. J. McVann, manager of the traffic bureau of the Commercial club, just returned from Washington, at once decided to call this conference to see what can be done toward working out the application of the new freight rates as ordered by the Interstate Commerce commission in the ruling just made in the noted Nebraska rate case. The conference will prob- ably be called for Friday, August 4. This is the order in which the In- terstate Commerce commission de- clared the rates made by the Nebras- ka commission in Order No. 19, to be discriminatory in favor of Omaha as against Missouri river towns in other states. The Interstate Com- merce commission ordered a new scale of rates, which puts the figures back practically where they were be- fore the Nebraska commission re- duced Nebraska rates, effective Sep- tember 6, 1914, Nebraska and Omaha have enjoyed this reduced rate for two years, until now the interstate body has declared it discriminatory. Creates Delicate Situation. The new order creates a complica- ted and delicate situation. Regarding this, Mr. McVann had the following to say on his return from Washington: “l know that the railroads have been puzzled over the action that must ge taken by them, and they recognize the practical impossibility of getting out any final figures by the middle of August, which they must do in order to get the rates into legal effect on September 25. In view of this fact, it seems likely that straight distance tariffs will be published, ap- plying the Interstate Commerce com- mission’s maximum scale that is pre- scribed in the order alike to all of the contending cities, : “Of course this will not be satis- factory to anybody, but it will furnish a basis from which to work in estab- lishing the new relations, and it is known that the Interstate Commerce commission entertains the view that the railroads are free to place the con- tending cities back where they were prior to the issuance of the Nebraska commission’s order, except insofar as the new scale modifies the rates then in effect. This is shown by the pro- viso contained in the opinion, reading as follows: * ‘Provided, however, that sald order shall not restrain said defendants from estab- 1ishing, maintaining and applying class rates between the sald several named cities which will restore the relationships between sald cities as they existed prior to September 8, 19140 “Entitled to Relief.” “Omaha shippers regret that the Interstate Commerce commission should have felt obliged to make a decision that would advance the scale prescribed by the Nebraska commis- sion, which was a very satisfactory scale, but no representative of Oma- ha has ever claimed that the situa- tion produced by the refusal of the railroads to readjust the rates from the outside cities was fair to those cities,. They are entitled to relief against that condition and the ques- tion of whether the Interstate Com- merce commission went outside of the jurisdiction conferred on it by the supreme court of the United States in the Shreveport case is a close legal question and one that need not be considered by Omaha, because the state authorities must take care of that feature of the case. What Oma- ha is concerned with, vitally and im- mediately, is the question of working out the application of the commis- sion's order in the best possible way. This work was commenced as soon as the opinion of the commission was made public and it will be carried on in a spirit of co-operation and conciliation so far as both the rail- roads and the competing cities are concerned.” Money is Lost On The Wild West Show Ak-Sar-Ben lost a little money in staging the Irwin Wild West specta- cle at the fair grounds in Omaha ten days ago. This is beginning to be apparent in the paying of late bills that are com- ing in and the checking up of ac- counts that is daily going on. It is said that not much will be lost, but the governors see clearly now that they will make no money for the or- ganization on this show. Late bills are still coming in, and for this rea- son it is impossible to tell just how the account stands until all the bills are met. Council Bluffs Man i;' Sued for Heavy Damages Jennie C. Groverman, Omaha dress- maker, has brought suit in Douglas county district court asking $10,000 damages from John F. Hughes, well- known husiness man of Council Bluffs.

P. BRIDGE, Local Organizations Meet to Discuss the Purchase for Free Bridge. PRICE IS SET AT §98,000 The bridge committee and severa!| members of the new activities com- | mittee of the Commercial club con- ferred with Douglas county commis- sioners in regard to the purchase of the superstructure of the old Union Pacific brirge, for use in erecting a new free bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs Neither the committee nor the | supervisors were willing to go on rec- | ord in the matter without further in- | vestigation. It was reported that the | railroad is willing to sell the steel to the city for $98,000, which Commis- sioner O'Connor believed to be exor- bitant. The Commeycial club was repre sented by W. D. Williams, chairman of the bridge committee; H. A Raapke, Anan Raymond, W. H. Hep- tonstall, members of the committee; George Morton, chairman of the new | activities committee, and Byron Hast- ings, vice chairman, and by Robert Manley, commissioner of the club. The Douglas county board decided to act as a committee of the whole, and confer with Pottawattamie county supervisors in regard to the bridge | proposition. Some discussion developed over the location of the proposed bridge. Com- missioner O'Connor favored putting the structure at the south of the pres- ent Union Pacific bridge, while &Jm- missioner Lynch believed it should be somewhere between the Douglas street bridge and the present Union Pacific structure.

E. A, Hadley, chief engineer of the] railroad, presented a report on what he was willing to recommend in the way of overhead crossings, while B Kvenild, secretary of the city plan ning board, outlined what the city was willing to accept i lieu of an overhead viaduct.

Want Concrete Floors. lanning board insisted, how tgut the crossings should be floored with concrete, that lights should be installed and maintained in the subways by the railroad and that all three crossings slmrld pre- sent a cellar span from property line to property line. These details Hadley would not accept, claiming that the city should provide lights, asking per- mission to use pillars at the curb line on Douglas street and for the present at least providing a concrete flooring for the Dodge street cross m% alone. ‘he council adopted a motion te stand by the planning board insofar as the lights and concrete flooring are concerned, but to waive the clear span on Douglas street.
