QUESTION OF UNION DEPOT
To Be Discussed This Evening at a Meeting
at the Grand Hotel.
RAILWAY REPRESENTATIVES WILL ATTEND
General Opinion, However, Is that
There is Very Little Likelihood
of the Road Joining in
the Scheme.

The Commercial club committee has re-
celved assurances from four Of the six rail-
ways terminating at Council Bluffs that
they will be represented at the meeting this
evening at the Grand hotel to discuss the
question of a union depot. The committee
is anxious that a number of the representa-
tive business and professional men of the
city be present to meet the railroad repre-
sentatives. The city council will be repre-
scented by a committee, as will the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association.
The general opinion prevails that there is
very little likelihood OF the railroads enter
ing into the project of a union depot. In
the first place the Rock Island already has
its new passenger depot on South Main
street well under way, and 1t for one would
not be likely to go into the scheme. The
Burlington has a small but substantial
, depot that is adequate for its city business.
The Northwestern has a handsome and
roomy passenger depot on Broadway and
the Illinois Central has planned to erect its
depot on the property 1t has purchased just
northwest Of the Northwestern yards. The
Omaha G st. Louis has no passenger depot
and would probably be willing to join in a
union building. The Milwaukee, it Is said,
prefers to retain its separate depot, but
might possibly be induced to join in a
union building II it was advantageously To-
Gated for it's passenger business. The Ter
minal company is not handling any passen-
ger business at present and 1t is not seri.
ously considered in the matter.
j. f. Wallace, assistant second vice presi-
dent of the Illinois Central. in his letter
accepting the invitation to be present a.
the meeting tonight, gave but little encour.
agement of his road entering into the unior
depot scheme. He wrote as follows:
THE Illinois Central having the long line
between Chicago and Council Bluffs, We
could not consent to enter into any unior
depot plan that would require us to switch
or back up our trains going and coming
over the bridge, or which would not be To-
Gated somewhere on its direct line Il
Omaha. In other words, we could not AFFORD
to use any station at Council Bluffs tina
would require us to run over a diverted lint
or in any way cause more delay than would
be naturally due to coming directly OFF thu
Union Pacific tracks and running on to oul
own line"
General Manager Brown of the Burling
ton, in a letter to the committee when tn
depot matter was first preached, wrote tina
his company found the depot it owned a
this point ample for its business and /
would not be willing to incur any additiona
expense.

Ida Mitchem il Not prosecuted.

AS had been expected, the case of Ida
Mitchell, the notorious negress charged
with robbing a New York insurance man
named r. w. Bierwirth, was dismissed in
the police court yesterday morning, as the
prosecuting witness failed to appear. The
woman was Immediately rearrested and ar
raigned on a charge of vagrancy, to which
she promptly pleaded guilty. Judge Ayles-
worth ordered that she give a bond in the
sum of 500 for her good behavior for the
period of one year or else be committed to
the county jail. Hoping that she would
leave the city, the police allowed her to
go out and look for her bond. At the ex-
piration of a couple OF hours she returned
to the Jail, saying she was unable to find
among her colored acquaintance any one
wealthy enough to act as her bondsman.
The police told her to get out and make
another try and that If she was found in
the city after Z p. M. she would be sent
to the county Jail. She told the police she
would at once make tracks for Missouri
Valley and from there she would go to
Kansas City.

NEW COMPACT OF WESTERN LINES.
Agreement VIII Probably De Passed
with Important


CHICAGO, May 1.-The revised agree
ment of the Western Passenger associa-
ton, which will be taken up at the adj
journed meeting of the western lines
Wednesday, differs in many material points
from the draft agreements submitted at
last weeks meeting. Features in the
agreement which might have beeen con>
strued as indications of an illegal combina-
ton have been eliminated. Other changes
limit somewhat the authority of the chair
man and provide that the executive COM
mittee must be appointed by the unanimous
vote of the lines in the association.
Perhaps the most important clause OF
the new agreement which has been
eliminated is that providing that each road
shall deposit to the credit of the chairman
a sum of at least $500 as security for the
payment Of fines and penalties for any
breaches Of agreement. Another clause
on the same lines, which failed to pass the
last meeting, empowered the chairman tc
call for any records pertaining to the sub.
ject under investigation and provided thai
failure of the accused to furnish such rec,
ords within ten days should be considered
as an admission of guilt.
The new agreement authorized the chair
man to file for and in the name of in,
dividual lines with the Interstate Commerc,
commission all rates necessary under tn,
law, but this, too, has been excluded
Wednesdays meeting will take up the
rules governing the association and its va.
rious bureaus and after these have beer
finally adjusted the lines will vote upoi
the revised agreement as a whole. AT pres
ent the chances for it's ultimate adoption
are favorable.
