Omaha and South Omaha Shippers Organ
izing for Protection.
A freight bureau will probably be estap-
lished in Omaha. BY its organization it is
proposed to abolish the determinations
against the city in railroad freight rates.
With q view Of establishing the bureau a
joint nesting was held yesterday afternoon
at the Board of Trade rooms by members of
special committees of the Omaha Commor-
cial association. the South Omaha Live
Stock exchange, the Manufacturers and
Consumers ASSOCIATION and the Grain and
Coal exchange
The meeting was called to order shortly
after o'clock when Charles j.. Weller took
the char. Rules governing the bureau were
read by John A. Wakefield. They provide
for a president ana an executive committee
of eighteen, who were to select commits
sioner of the bureau.
e. E. Bruce was Of the opinior that com
mittee should be appointed to prepare con-
stitution and bylaws. with instructions to
report at Tuesday nights meeting. when
plans for the organization will be discussed
for final approval OF the establishment Of the
bureau. The committee, composed of
Messrs. Fowler and Knox, was appointed
III speaking OF securing subscriptions from
business men for the main tenaace of the Or
ganization, Mr. Wakefield thought that the
subscriptions should at least amount to SlO,-
00U year for period of three years. Tho
constitution committee was then instructed
to prepare subscription paper with its
report.
Mr.. Weller said that tho commercial asso-
ciation was going into the organization
simply for the benefit of Omaha in general,
as the merchants had, at present, no griev-
anco to speak Of. About the only complaint
heard was the scent bridge toll, but he uD-
derstood that efforts were being made TO
abolish that. The association believed in the
proposed organization of the bureau because
it would be a great benefit to the prosperity
and welfare of the city.
A. B JaGuith TODD that tho bureaus
purpose was not to hold IA club over the
heads of railroads but as a body or organi-
cation representing the interests of both
Omaha and South Omaha, would have much
power III setting grievances ana making
class rates without antagonzing the roads
w. N. Babcock of the stock yards and
John S. Knox Of the Cudahy packing house
were both of the same opinion in discussing
the manner of securing rates. They said
that it would oe necessary for the freight
commissioner to be TontiEually after the diff
fer ferent roads insSraer ~ sy to get satisfactory
An adjournment wds taken until Tuesday
night, when gebeShl meeting will be held
in the Exchange hail of the Chamber OF Com
merce for the PURPOSE of considering the re-
port of the joint cothmittee from each Of the
organizations to formulate and report plan
for the permanent Organization OF a bureau
in tho interest Of the organizations.

glcd Tobacco.
CHICAGO ILL.,, April 2j.-Tne full extent of
the tobacco frauds, committed by San Fran
cisco rngstors against tho government by
undervaluations, is beginning to be learned.
In the last six months 600 bales of Sumatra
tobacco, valued at over quarter of mil
lion dollars aud dutiable at 81 per pound,
have been entered at the port OF San Fran
cisco by the payment of but 81 cents per
pound duty. This is loss of revenue TO
tho government of nearly 100000. This
enormous quantity of tobacco was distributed
TO various cities in the country and tho gov
ernmsnt is just beginning to locate it. At
Cincinnati sixty eight bales of the contra
pand tobacco is In possession OF Treasury
Agent Mccoy, who will hold 1t until further
orders. Sixteen bales have been located at
Philadelphia aud seized. The firms in whose
possession the tobacco was found were inno-
cent purchasers and II the government is in
cIined to coniscate the goods these purcha-
sers will be the sufferers.
"The frauds were extensive" said Treas
ury Agent Sohngen, land the government
has not located more than one-titth of the
goods which were smuggled i'll under the low
rate of duty. IL is believed we have seized
all there is In sight, the balance being dis
posed of. Lieb S Co., the New York firm,
are likely to have considerable trouble in
proving their innocence. Cranz Bros. tS Co.
of San Francisco acted in concert with this
firm in disposing OF the tobacco"

LITEsT MOVE OF THE COMBINE.

Reading People Have brought Up the
Myers Interest and Everything In Sight.
New YORK, April 23.-A dispatch printed
here by the Herald makes the folio wing al
legations:
The Reading combination will not only
control absolutely the greater part of the
anthracite coal output of this country, but it
will own the mines themselves and be able to
do what they like with them. That Is what
the latest movement Of the combine Is. 1t has
bought tho great coliiery interests of George
IL. Myers a. Co, of Hazleton. Myers & Co
are to give up their mines to the Reading
people and receive yearly royalty for the
use OF their plant and machinery The Read
ing people run the mines here and discharge
miners, dictate how long they will work an d
shin their own product over their own line.
The royalty is ihe only fact about this zeal
that Is not yet confirmed.
