QUESTION.
Tax Commissioner Arthur W. scrib-
ner of. the Union Pacific to Re-
place. Tax Agent EVANS of the
Short Line-The Removal of the
Auditing Department.
fspecial to The Herald.l

Omaha, Neb. Dec. 4.-As TO the re-
moval OF the auditing departments OF
the Oregon Short Line from Salt Lake
City, Utah. TO Omaha, Neb.. the state
ment of General Auditor Young that
it viii not be done must stand for the
present. As to the other departments,
a Union Pacific official this morning
said:
Tine general offices of the Oregon
Short Line at Salt Lake City, Utah, are
well organized, and / doubt if there Will
be any change in them whatever, un-
less general charge of the accounting
departments is given to the headquar-
tiers here.
THE Oregon Short Line is a Utah
corporation. born and named there I'M
der the laws of that state, and the peo-
pie out there are very jealous of its au-
thority. The Oregon Short Line and
Union Pacific gets an immense business
from Utah, for no other reason than
that the Oregon Short Line general OF
fees are there. How much business do
you think we would get out of Salt
Lake if the Short Line headquarters
were to be brought 10 Omaha? How
much business do you think the Union
Pacific would get out of Omaha if its
headquarters were moved to Kansas
Ci.>y"2
The statement is made from an ap-
parently reliable source that Tax Com
missioner Arthur W. Scribner of the
Union Pacific is soon to- take charge OF
the tax department of the Short Line,
and Tax Agent j. B. Evans of the
Short Line, with headquarters at Salt
Lake City, will transferred to some
other post of duty. This report, fol-
lowing so closely on the heels of the
statement that the auditing depart
ment of the Short Line is to come I'M
der the supervision of Auditor Young
of the Union Pacific at Omaha, further
indicates that the Short Line and the
Union Pacific are soon to become one
and the same. Inquiry at the Union
Pacific headquarters this morning re-
garding the change in the tax collec-
ton department elected no new infor-
nation. aside from the report referred
TO. The report was neither confirmed
nor denied. The statement merely be-
ing made that such matters are engi-
neered from New York. 1t is said that
the change in the tax department is
in the line line of economy; that the
entire business can be handled from
the headquarters at Omaha, than If

COMPLAINT.
Desertion and Non-support Alleged
Mrs. Stone Wants Half of De-
PENDANTS Wealth.

Mrs. Anna NJ. Stone is the plaintiff in
an action commenced in San Francisco
last week for a decree of divorce from
her husband, William E. Stone, the
tailor. Mr.. Stone has not lived in Salt

cient number of months to entitle his
wife to allege that he has deserted her
and failed to provide the spouse with
the necessaries and comforts of life for
more than year last past.
Mrs. Stone will not be satisfied with
a simple decree of divorce on the
grounds alleged. In her complaint the
wife prays for an equal division of
Stones wealth. which she values at
$40, 900, and alleges to be community
property. in that she furnished the cap
ital to set the tailor up in business
on the coast before he came to Salt
Lake to run the business of Miner p,
Wells, his brother-in-law.
