man take Office? Office seldom enrich

the leading American public men today
will establish this fact. Most of them
are lucky if they have a competency, or,
indeed, escape bankruptcy. One of the
moving causes, then, must be that last

love of fame, of popular applause-in
short, of glory. But is there not blend

The Rio Grande Western May Make
Trouble for the Other Roads.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-The Utah-Colo-
RADIO business, which has been troub-
ling the Western lines for so long. is
not settled by any means, and al
though there is strong belief among
the roads that 1t will soon be adjust
ed, 1t is by no means certain that such
will be the outcome. The Montana
roads have agreed to make all their
tickets for continuous passage only.
but have coupled with this agreement
the condition that the Colorado-Utah
roads become members Of the Western
Passenger association. At first the
Colorado-Utah people refused to do
this, and declared that they would
form an association of their own. 1t
was pointed out to them that they
had already placed a portion of their
business under control of the Western
Passenger association, and for them
to withdraw it now would be the dis
ruption of the association. AS a com
promise it was agreed that they should
form an association Of their own, with
separate chairman, whose headuuar-
ters should be in Denver he to have
jurisdiction over Utah, Colorado and
Wyoming business, and all other traf-
fic to come under the agreement of
the Western Passenger association.
The Colorado Midland and Denver &,
Rio Grande have agreed to this. but
the Rio Grande Western has not vet
accepted. It's decision is expected to-
morrow, and if it should be adverse

1T RUINED THE ROAD.
Operations Of Rivals for Which
$S,25O,OOO Is Demanded.

NEW YORK, Jan. GA Jury was

in the United States circuit court, to
try the suit brought by the Prescott
d Arizona Central railroad against the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe com
pany and about fifty other defendants.
including the railroad companys di-
rectors and stockholders, among them
being Russell Sage, the Gould inter
ests and others. The amount involved
is $S,25O,O00. 1t is alleged in the com
plant that the defendants entered into
conspiracy to ruin the Prescott 6.
Arizona Central railway, after having
failed to get possession Of it's capital
stock. The plaintiff road has a track
running from Prescott to Seligman,
Ariz., part of the way being through
property Of the United States = the
Whipple Barracks reservation. One of
the allegations charges that the de-
PENDANTS road refused to deliver
freight and passengers consigned to
the Prescott & Arizona Central, and
thereby crippled the latter corporation
so that 1t had to suspend operations.
The defendants assert that the build
ing Of a road, rival to the plaintiff and
extending further, was the cause of
the trouble. They also make a general
denial of the complaint After the
jury had been selected and sworn, ar
guments on points of law were heard.
The taking Of testimony will begin to-
morrow.

ton to press very strongly for in
creases. The committee has had un-
der special consideration such PROPOSE
tons to extend the provisions of the
bill to sugar and to increase the rate of
duty on spirits, agricultural products
and pottery. The house bill increased
the duty on these articles, with the ex-
ception of sugar, 10 per cent, while the
proposition before the committee is to
make the increase 20 per cent The
committee is disposed to report without
any amendment, but, approaching the
narrow margin in the senate. 1t has
been decided desirable to secure the
sense of the entire Republican side of
the senate before the plan of the COM
mittee is completed. 1t is therefore ap-
parent that if the Republican senators
show a disposition to press their
amendment to the extent of opposing
the bill, they will be accepted. There is
also some apprehension lest the
silver Republicans and the Populists,
who, it is believed, would ordinarily
support tariff bill, may insist upon
adding free coinage amendment to
the tariff BILL and it is hoped that the
cause will have the effect of indicating
what may be expected from the Repub-
lican silver senators.

IS NOT A SALOON.
Secret of the Popularity of n Fifth
Street Establishment.

A certain establishment located on
Fifth street opposite the court house
seemed to enjoy food Of popularity
yesterday. All day long q stream Of
humanity poured in and out Of the
place. The casual observer passed by
with the impression that a new saloon
had opened it's doors to the public. But
this was not the case, though all these
people were bent upon paying for the
consumption Of liquid that they can
not live without, despite the heaoic eff
forts of some of them. In other words,
water rents were due yesterday for the
last time from those citizens who re-
side in the district known as the 'low
service" portion of the town. Every
householder whose premises are located
within the central district or depressed
territory of the city paid his water rent
yesterday, If he preferred to escape the
per cent penalty. This explanation is
proffered for the purpose of correcting
any false impressions regarding the des-
tination Of the crowd.

BRuNsw1cK HOTEL SUIT.
Demurrer to Kittson's Complaint
by Judge Brill.

In the suit of Hercules L. Kittson to
recover from Charles e. Christian the
title to the Brunswick hotel property,
Judge Brill YESTERDAY filed an order
sustaining a demurrer of the defend
ant to the plaintiffs complaint, but
allowing the plaintiff an opportunity
to amend on payment of $40 costs. Kit
son, in his complaint, alleges that he
conveyed the property to Christian
with the understanding that it was to
be reconveyed to him simultaneously.
but that Christian failed to reconvey.
In the memorandum attached to his
order Judge Brill says:
The complaint states a cause of action
against defendant for the specific perform
ance OF the agreement to reccnVey the prem
ises TO plaintiff. The consideration was the
mutual agreement of the parties and the
conveyance by plaintiff. 1t is not alleged
that the agreement was oral and the doc
trine of the Pillsbury-W ashburn Co. VS.,
kistier, SO Mimi. 123, does not apply at this
time. 1t will be presumed upon the demurrer
that the contract was made in such manner
as to be valid and effectual. Colon VS.. Blk
by, SO Mimi. so.
1t does not appear from the COMPLAINT
that any person other than the plaintiff
and defendant has any interest in the prop
erty. The allegations regarding the subten-
ant are indefinite, and insufficient for the in
ference of any interest in any other person
AS to the second cause of action the al
locations are so indefinite and uncertain that
action is stated, or anything material. The
allegations OF rental value are all in the
present tense and relate to the time when
the complaint was made. What is meant by
the allegation that the defendant has been
collecting the rent and converting the same
to his own use is uncertain, there being an
allegation that the premises were leased to
himself.
1t is stated that during all the time the
premises had been rented to the defendant
Sor $20S.33 per month. There is no allegation
by whom the premises were rented to him.
but from the allegations In, another part of
the complaint and the allegation that plain
tiT is the owner, at least in equity; and
from the fact that defendant could not make
a lease to himself. it would appear that the
plaintiff is the lessor. If defendant is oc-
cupying under lease from plaintiff. plain
tiff would not be entitled to recover for the
use of the property nor the. reasonable value
Of the rent. asa
~ have some hesitation in holding that
there Is a second cause Of action stated, but
plaintiff has undertaken to state a second
cause Of action, and cause Of action upon
the lease can possibly be spelled out of the
allegations, but the allegations are not suf-
hcient to make 1t appear that this second

THE SUBMISSION OF HOW
ARD CHARTER.
WILL HOLD MEETINGS DAILY
UNTIL THEY HAVE BECOME CON-
vERsANT WITH THE MERITS
OF THE ENACTMENT.
Likely to Force 1t at the Next E1ec-
ton Through the Medium of
Petition.

The joint committee appointed to
consider the ordinance providing for
the submission Of the Howard charter
to the vote of the people got together
for the first time yesterday. Nothing
was done, however, except to decide
upon the method Of procedure. On be-
half Of the Howard charter, there
were present, besides Aid. Lindahl, of
the committee, the author of the pro-
posed ordinance, Judge Schoonmaker
and C. w. Horn.
Some question arose as to the scope
of the committees duties. Assembly
men Lewis and Parker and Chairman
Markham agreed that before making
any report to the council it was the
duty of the committee to consider the
distinctive provisions Of the Howard
charter in detail. The question in
volved was a broad one, and should
be Systematically investigated, as it
was likely to form an issue in the
coming campaign.
Aid. Wolf, on the other hand, did
not see the use Of going into detail.
The committee would discharge its
duty, in his opinion, If it simply passed
upon the duty of submitting the ques-
ton to the vote Of the people.
Aid. Lindahl remarked that there
were two alternatives-either the coun-
ell could pass the ordinance or else, on
petition Of one-eighth of the legal vot-
ers, the council would be compelled to
submit the charter to the vote of the
people at the coming spring election.
In any event, 1t was desirable to Sc
cure decision from the council as
soon as possible.
Judge Shoemaker said 1t was the
duty Of the council to submit the ques-
ton to a vote simply because re-
spectacle minority SO desired.
Mr.. Lewis again advocated consider
alton Of the charter in detail, mas
much as the passage of such an ordi-
nance submitting the measure to the
people, the council would place an i'm
piled sanction on the Howard char
ter.
Judge Schoonmaker inquired at this
stage whether the circulation Of a pc
tition during the investigation by the
committee, for the purpose Of securing
the signatures of one-eighth of the
voters, would indicate a lack Of conf
dence in the committee. Mr.. Parker
suggested that such action ought to
be postponed until after the committee
had finished it's work.
The committee finally voted to con-
clude it's inquiries on or before Jan.
81. The committee then adjourned I'M
til p. m. today. Before leaving the
room each member was supplied with
a copy Of the Howard charter bill, as
we'll as copies of series of articles
written by Judge Schoonmaker, which
are designed to point out the differ
ences between the Howard charter and
the Bell charter. 1t is the purpose of
the committee to hold session every
day. The members Of the committee
are supposed to have occupied the time
intervening between 5 p. m. yester-
day and 4 p. m. today dijesting the
Howard charter and Judge Schoonmak-
er'S articles.

DIR. sCHIFFMAN,s GIFT.
The Park Board Thanks Him for HIS
Generosfty.


Generosity.
The park board met last night and
transacted routine business. DR.. Ru-
dolph Schiffman, swhe recently donated
fountain to the scity, informed the
board that the fountain had just been
conveyed to Como park, and that, after
consultation with Supt Nussbaumer, a
location for the fountain at the junction
of the roadwaysGsouth of the pavilion
had been agreed upon. DR.. Schiffman
also stated that he would provide
basin sixty feet in diameter, surrounded
by white sandstone coping.
The board thereupon adopted reso-
luton thanking Dr. Schiffman for his
generous gift to the city and confirming
the arrangements made with him by
the superintendent for a suitable loca-
ton for the fountain.
The board adopted a resolution ac-
cepting the recommendation of the spe-
cial G. A. r. committee, that it desig
nate an appropriate site and furnish a
suitable foundation and base for me-
mortal monument to be erected in this
city in commemoration of the thirtieth
G. A. R. national encampment, as soon
as the board shall be furnished the
plans for the monument and shall be
advised that the arrangements for it's
construction are SO far advanced as to
justify the desired action by the board.
Bills amounting to $500, including
the monthly pay roll, were approved.

THE WILDER ESTATE
Acceptance of the Final Account
Goes Over One Month.

The matter of the acceptance of the
final account Of the executors Of the
Wilder estate was up before Judge Will
rich in the probate court yesterday. The
executors have asked for an order trans
ferring to the widow one-third of the
estate, as provided for in the will, and
turning the residue over to the trustees.
But the matter has gone over for one
month, as Judge Willrich has made a
ruling that in all cases trustees appoint
ed under wills must qualify and give
bonds in the district court and furnish
certified copy of the same to the
probate court before estates will be
turned over to them. His reason for
this is that the district court alone has
jurisdiction over trustees while the
probate court has jurisdiction over ex-
ecutors and administrators 1t is the
opinion Of the court, therefore, that the
probate court has no power to pass
upon the qualification Of trustees or ac-
cept their bonds.

FROST IN THE ASPHALT.
City Engineers Department Thinks
the Pavement's All Right.

When, in the course of natural events,
the snow and ice disappear sufficiently
to reveal the surface of the asphalt
pavement laid last summer, it may be
found that Jack Frost has disturbed It's
smooth and serene surface. This pre-
diction would seem to be warranted
in view of the disclosures on Sixth
street, between Robert and Minnesota
streets, where the asphalt pavement is
more or less exposed to view, as the
snow has been blown away by the brisk
breezes that whirl around the corners
OF the high buildings in this vicinity.
The asphalt pavement on this block is
traversed at varying intervals with
cracks extending from curb to curb,
though most Of them would not admit
an object wider than knife blade. How
the rest of the asphalt pavement has
Jared cannot be ascertained at present.
but it is the opinion Of the city engi-
neer's department that no fractures will
be found that cannot be quickly re-
paired.
