six inches or a foot or two feet within two
or three years would have resulted in our
placing the ducts so far beneath the sur
face that interference with the new grade
would have been made impossible. The adj
ditional original cost on account of the in
creased depth would have been very small
and that additional expenditure would have
been cheerfully made. The payment Of the
very much larger sum at this time Is prac-
tically an assessment for the levying Of
which there surely cannot be good excuse"
G. B. Hunt the computing engineer, has
reported to the Commissioners that as no
question concerning the grade was raised at
the time the conduit was laid the oversight
can hardly be charged as a sin Of omission
against the engineer department. He says
that at the time the permit for the conduit
was granted the extent Of the change In
grade had not been determined. The change
made at the junction Of California and
Connecticut avenues Is nearly ten feet.

MATTER OF FREE TRANSFERS.
Mr.. Barnes Discusses Them in Letter to
Commissioners.

The District Commissioners have received
a letter from I. A. Watson OF the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association in regard to
Senate bill 1867 and House bill 1O92S relat-
ing to free transfers between street rail-
way lines in the District. The bills were
introduced at the request Of a committee of
the Mount Pleasant Citizens Association.
The writer states that he is informed that
the bills have been referred to the street
railway companies and he feels that under
the circumstances the position Of his COM
mittee Is analogous to that of plaintiffs In
this matter, and that he should have an op-
portunity to reply to any criticism Of the
bill offered by the street railway compa-
ntes. He requested that the Commission
ers notify him when statements are re-
ceived from the railroad companies and al
low the association reasonable length Of
time in which to frame q reply.
Engineer Commissioner Biddle has recon-
mended to his associates that copies Of the
replies OF the railroad companies upon the
bills In question be forwarded to the asso-
citation with the information that no oral
hearing has been granted the representa-
ttves OF the railroad companies.

In accordance with recommendations made
by a military board Of investigation az Fort
Niobrara. United States District Attorney
Summers has filed with United states Com
missioner Gustav Anderson a complaint
against Edward Morris, a private in d COM
pany OF the Twenty-hfth infantry. charging
him with the murder OF Henry Mckee, a
private in the same company.
Mckee was shot and killed by Morris on
September II last at Fort Niobrara, where
the Twenty-nfth is stationed. The AFFAIR
occurred about an hour after retreat, near
s O'Clock, in the rear OF d company's quar-
tiers. Morris and Mckee, with other SOL
diers, were assembled around q crap game
in progress on a table. Walter johnson,
another D company private. was running
the game. Neither Morris nor Mckee had
any money with which to play and in some
dispute that occurred about the stalking
Of the men the shot was fred.
Morris was at once put in close %oonflne-
ment at the post guard house and the post
commander appointed a board Of three on
GERS to investigate the case. This board.
after a survey Of the matter, recommended
that Morris be tried foV murder. He will
be taken before a United States commits
sioner at Valentine. MD. Wednesday.
johnson, who was running the game, said
to the board that as the dice cSme around
to where Mckee was standing =, asked for
a stake. 1t was forthcoming ana he lost.
Then IL came to Morris turn, and he asked
for a stake. No one offered It, 80 he
could not play. When the dice came TO
Mckee again he asked for q second stake,
and at that Morris cursed him for q beggar
and Mckee replied that he had not asked
Morris for anything. The latter drew a
revolver from his shirt and shot Mckee.
who fell on his face and died In the hospital
shortly afterwHrd. Morris says that the
gun was discharged accidentally. that he
was in fun and merely pulled it to make a
couple OF jabs az Mckee, but that as he
stepped back and the gun went on.

There is q strong sentiment on the new

Of the old board who has been reelected,
said: There are about forty subsorip-
tions on the part Of Omaha concerns which
should be closed Immediately. These forty
subscriptions should bring into the fund at
least $4,000. and II handled by the right
man they will do 80. Mr.. Barton is the
best man who can be selected II he viii
consent to serve, and we are going to give
him a unanimous election 81 possible"
There is no talk Of change In the other
oficers, although the retirement of Mr.. De-
Bord from the directorate leaves a vacancy
in the office OF counsel. There are two
lawyers on the new board, however, from
which to select that officer.
In the election Of E. P. Peck to the d.
rectorate there is seen by some of the di-
rectors q desire on the part Of the stock
holders for a change In the plans Of the
building which will make It more con-
venient for horse and other stock shows.
The first meeting of the new board will
be held at the Millard hotel Thursday at

RECEIVER FOR PAXTON HOTEL
Roms Miller Alleges that Property i' Not
Being Properly Handled.
WANTS COURT TO oROERAN ACCOUNTING
Principal Charge f. that j. b.
Kitchen, as Majority stakeholder
Pafd Himself Excessive Price
for strip of Land.

A the result Of the real estate transac-
ton between J. B. Kitchen and the Kitchen
Bros. Hotel company, Rome Miller. a stock
holder in the company, has brought suit In
the district court to have a receiver APP
pointed for the company and its affairs In
vestiRated. The application for a receiver
was set for hearing by Judge Estelle Tor
Saturday, October II.
According to the application filed by the
attorneys for the complainant, the Kitchen
Bros. Hotel company is a corporation
with q capital stock Of 100000, the shares
being held by several parties. but the con
trolling interest, 293 shares Of $1,000 each'
Is held by ]. b. Kitchen, and loo shares Dy
Rome Miller, the complainant. The com
plant recites hat the holder OF the ma
jority OF the stock is not operating the
business OF the company for the beneht Of
ths stockholders. but for his personal ad-
vantage. It then takes up the sale Of the
twenty-five feet Of land on Farnam street
Immediately adjoining the Paxton hotel on
the west, which was sold by ]. B. Kitchen to
the hotel company, and alleges that the
price, SIS, 900, was excessive; that in taking
n mortgage for the balance due on the sale
Mr.. Kitchen has placed a lien upon the
entire property OF the hotel company, In
Guiding the Paxton hotel and all OF the
furniture and fixtures thereof. The COM
p~lainant says that the title TO the twenty
two feet was in j. B. Kitchen, but asks the
court to determine whether 1t belonged to
him or the hotel company previous to the
sale.
The complaint says that Mr.. Kitchen owes
the company large sums Of money and that
the stockholders are at the mercy Of the
holder OF the majority OF the shares unless
the court will intervene to protect their
rights. It therefore asks for q receiver
and TO have an accounting to ascertain the
exact condition Of the accounts between the
hotel company and the holder Of the ma
iority Of the stock.
