MAY NOT HANG.
r. r. Odell Discovers a Loophole
for BulOW.

II. n. Odell Discovers LOOphOle
for BulOW.
Robert R. Odell, of this city, claims
that Bulow, who pleaded guilty to a
charge of murder at Little Falls, and
was sentenced to hang, cannot be le-
gally executed, as ALLOWING him to
enter plea of guilty in such case is
simply permitting him to commit sui
eide at the expense of the state"
He says there is no precedent
for such proceeding, and
that in rare cases, where people
charged with murder in the first degree
sentence has been committed to impris-
onment for life. City Attorney Russell
is disposed to agree with Mr.. Odell, but
County Attorney Jamison and his as
sistant, Frank Nye, can see nothing to
hinder the execution of Bulow, as a
plea of guilty is equal to conviction by
Jury.

WILL THEY STRIKE.
Matters With the Union Pacific and
Engineers Becoming Serious.

Wednesday evenings Omaha Bee says
the engineers grievance committee and
the officials reconvened at 10 o'clock this
morning and the controversy was again
resumed. Manager Baldwin explained
his stand and demonstrated how he had
devised a monthly saving of about SIS, 900
on an average during the year. His line
of argument was at variance with that
which officials had been conducting, they
having asserted that the reduction was
made owing to the Kansas Central not
paying expenses of operating, and 1t fired
the blood of the engineers. They came
out openly and said: MIR. Kimball. this
committee will give you until . o'clock
this afternoon to make a positive answer,
yes or no." With this the engineers
donned their hats and walked out of the
building, retiring to the Arcade hotel,
where they make their headquarters. AT
2 o'clock no word had been received from
Mr.. Kimball, and things appear more
serious than at any time since the con-
t%roversy opened.
BosToN, June 2O.-Union Pacific Off
cials say they have no advices such as
come from Chicago as to the threatened
strike of their lines. They state there is
some trouble with the engineers, but its
settlement rests with Mr.. Kimball, and
he will, it is believed by the officials, Sc
cure an early adjustment of the Difficult
ties.
OMAHA, June 20.-On account of the
severe loss entailed each year by the
operation of the three branch lines of the
Union Pacific system centering at Leaven-
worth the executive set apart these lines
to be operated and managed as separate
organizations from the Union Pacific pro-
per, with the hope that by separate man
agement they would be able to earn operat-
ing expenses. On May Is the manager
OF the division made a reduction in the
wages of the engineers and firemen on
certain special runs. This action has
brought together the grievance committee
of the Union Pacific system. who have
claimed hat the executive officers have
no power to make separate organizations
Of lines unless the same wages are paid as
on the main line. At a meeting held to-
day General Manager Kimball offered to
leave the matter to arbitration. The
committee refused to accept arbitration as
a means of settlement. At present it can
not be said what further action will be
taken.
