DENY HE REPRESENTS THEM
Officers of Associated Charities Say
Mckinney Has No Authority to
File Protests.

The Board of Fire and Police Commits
sioners met in extra session Thursday after
noon to transact business. f. NJ. Mckinney
who claims to represent the Associated
Charities, went before the beard and filed
protests against allowing 16O different sa-
loon licenses, alleging as his reason an in
sufficient number of signers to the petitions
and inadequate bonds. The officers of the
Associated Charities advised the board that
Mr.. Mckinney was working without author
ity or sanction from them and stated they
had nothing to do with the matter. The
board overruled the protests in five cases
for the reason they had not been filed in
sufficient time and the others will prob
ably be heard at the meeting next Mon
day night
1t was the opinion about the board room
that Mr.. Mckinney had some hidden mo-
tive in thus protesting against all the ap-
plicants for licenses and it was also be-
iieved that he was not acting in good faith
especially after it was ascertained that he
did not represent the Associated Charities.
The board granted licenses to the following
men: George f. Cackley, 123 North Six
teenth street; l.. Schmidt, 1902 Dodge street: ::
William b. Ostrander, 213 South Fifteenth
street; Cooley Brucker 21S South Fifteenth
street, and Charles C. Sorensen, Alp South
Eighteenth street. The mandamus pro-
ceedings brought before Judge Slabaugh
have been dismissed.
In this connection John Laughland. secre-
tary of the Associated Charities, says: "On
my return to my office. after several days
sickness, ] was surprised to learn that Mr..
Mckinney had represented to the Fire and
Police Commissioners that he was acting
for the Associated Charities in protesting

authority so to do. When he called upon
me last Saturday for such authority told
him distinctly that without meeting of

LECTURE BY REV. JOHNSON
Explains why His Church Does Not
Favor Exchanging PuIpits with
other Churches.

At st. Pauls Episcopal church last
night, Rev. Irving p. Johnson lectured on
why We DO Not Exchange Pulpits with
Other Minister'S" This was one of the best
of the series of lectures Rev. Johnson has
been delivering weekly for some time
Briefly stated he made the point that since
the different churches have different theories
as to what constitutes religion they cannot
consistently exchange pulpts and that those
who do exchange put themselves in the
light of pretenders.
Religion is a matter of authority" the
speaker declared. "and man cannot officiate
at an altar unless he is so authorized II
we attempt to follow everybodys advice we
will soon be in the plight OF the man and
boy who carried the donkey as related in
the fable | believe the church is founded
on principles of authority, and that author
ity comes from Christ and the apostles and
not from some theory resulting from Tom
Jones or Bill Smiths study of the bible
We want divine authority, not what some
man thinks. We have heart of our own
and brains of our own and can think for
ourselves"
The speaker indicated that the Episcopal
church is the original church and he char
acterized the other churches as "stepdaugh-
ters."

FaIlinu on I'm RObbpries

A falling-off in holdups and robberes has
been noticed during the last day or two, and
the police hope that the four men who have
been working the 'ice-boX racket have
left the city Every possible effort has been
made by Chief Carroll and his men to obtain
some clue to the perpetrators of the Thomp-
son and Eggers holdups. but without ma
terial results clue was obtained Mon
day night but 1t proved to be unfounded, and
was evidently set afoat by persons inter-
ested in the welfare of the quartet. One
reported hold-up story was run to earth
Wednesday night by the police and proved
to have been pure fiction. The person claim
ing to have been robbed told several diff
ferent stories and it was finally discovered
that he had lost his money playing a game
of chance in Omaha and invented the holdup
story for the purpose of squaring himself.
1t will be a dangerous proceeding for
holdups to attempt to rob saloons in South
Omaha for some time to come.
Since the recent affairs most of the
suburban saloon keepers keep plenty of help
at hand, and shooting irons of various kinds
are always within reach. Several have gone
so far as to plant guns in their ice boxes
in order to have them handy if by chance
the Thompson or Eggers tricks should be
tried One suburban saloon keeper has
bored a nice little hole in his ice box, and
has mounted a young howitzer on the in
side with the business end pointing toward
the cash register If this man is shut up in
the ice box and raid made on his money
box the chances are that the coroner will
have a job. Citizens who are compelled to
be out at night are going armed, and In
many instances holdups will meet with
warm reception ...r

John A. Linderman, the Adams lumber
dealer who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to
having sent a scurrilous letter through the
mails to a young woman who worked in
restaurant in his town, will hardly use the
mails for that purpose again. Judge Nun
&c" would not affix a penalty to the offense
last evening, because he had not seen the
letter upon which the complaint was
founded, which was in the possession OF
one Of the witnesses who was not in court
yesterday. District Attorney Summers man
aged to get hold of the letter, however,
last evening and the judge accordingly got
a glimpse of its contents. Ex-senator Muir
ply of Beatrice, who appeared for the de-
fendant, was anxious TO have the case dis
posed of SO that he could get back home
this morning and Judge Munger got into
court at about o'clock to accommodate
him. The defendant and his counsel were
doubtless somewhat abashed when the
sentence was pronounced. 1t was that Lin
derman should pay fine of $500 and costs.
The court suspended execution OF sentence
for fifteen days to allow Linderman to raise
the money.

Southern Pacific Negotiating Plans for
wnshinGton-San Francisco Train.
Union Pacific passenger officials are evinc-
Ing much interest in rumor originating at
New Orleans to the effect that Assistant
Passenger Traffic Manager Morse of the
Southern Pacific is contemplating the eX-
tension of the famous Sunset Limited
through to Washington. having the capital
city as the eastern terminus of this eel
ebrated train instead of New Orleans Mr..
Morse, 1t is known, has been in Washington
and other eastern cities cOuferring with
representatives of eastern lines regarding
the feasibility of establishing such a SER
vice.
THE Sunset Limited" said "A Union Pa
cifc official, "is practically the only com
petitor the Overland Limited has in trans
continental passenger business, The recent
improvements we have made in our service
by putting on more trains and shortening up
the time to the coast has been instrumental
in causing the Southern Pacific to opeu it's
eyes and cast about for some plan whereby
IL may increase the popularity OF its Sunset
Limited and effect Improvements equal to
those we have recently inaugurated.
Whether or not its plan to place into opera
ton a through train from Washington to
San Francisco will materalize is conun-

In Omaha II is considered that the recent
traffic combination formed by the North
western, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
whereby through trains from Chicago to San
Francisco were made possible has given the
Southern Pacific it's cue for a similar relation
with connections at New Orleans for

Live stock shippers continue to complain
about the new system of charging, and 1t is
possible that a concerted effort will be made
to induce the railroads TO return to the old
system Of charging dollars per- car instead Of
cents per hundred pounds Even though the
force OF employees in the Western Weighing
association has been doubled only four cars
a minute are now being weighed over the
scales maintained by the association and
consequently there is more or less delay in
delivering live stock TO the yard company.
The cars are weighed while moving slowly
across the scales, and an allowance is made
for variation of the scales on account of
vibration as well as contraction and ex-
pansion. Shippers complain not only OF the
delay in delivering their stock to the yard
company, but also about the increase in
the price paid
When the nature of these complaints was
made known to railroad official yesterday
he volunteered the assertion that kicking
will do no good at this time,
as all the roads entering here are
interested in the change and Jointly
constitute the Western Weighing association.
If it is seen however. that this market is to
be injured by the continuance of the present
system it is probable that the packers and
the Stock Yards company will make an effort
to have the old rate of dollars -per-car re-
stored. 1t is reported that the change in
the method of charging will mean a gain
of S5O,OO0 year to the Union Pacific alone.
If the Union Pacific can make this much of
a gain the Burlington gain should be fully
as much if not more, with the other roads
close behind. Some well-known shippers
are agitating the question of a return to
the old system, and it may be possible that
a meeting will be called before long to
discuss the question and take action.
