W FOR THE NEW SHOPS
Union Pacific Lets n Big Contract 10
Westinghouse Electrical
Company.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Westinghouse, Church. Kerr &
Co. today entered into two important con-
tracts for electrical apparatus for operat-
ing railroad shops. These include complete
generating plants as we'll as motor equip
ments. This apparatus will be installed in
the new shops OF the Union Pacific at
Omaha and the oregon Short Line at Poca-
tello, Idaho, and will consist OF Westing-
house machines throughout, engines, gen.
orators and motors. 1t is Intended to adopt
direct driven tolls wherever possible, as It
is believed that under this plan better re-
suits can be obtained. everything consid-
cred, than through any other form OF
equipment.
The Omaha plant will be the larger Of the
two and strictly up-to-date methods will
be observed. The contract specifies that
two months are allowed before installa-
Ttion. The contracts mean modern shops at
both points mentioned, the Westinghouse

REvISIoNISTS BACK AT WORK
Committee to Revise Confession of
Faith sittings I'm
Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The Presbyte-
rian committee on creed revision assembled
here today. The final report on the subject
is expected to be adopted by the committee
within a week. Pending decisive action the
committee is carefully guarding its DELHI
e~rations against publication.
The main discussion today was over the
text Of the declaratory statement which is
to be adopted by the general assembly. The
committee accomplished considerable work
today, finishing up all features except that
relating TO the brief statement of doctrine.
Consideration OF this statement will occupy
The committee during the remainder Of the
session here.
AS a result OF the work already done
overtures will be submitted to the general
assembly, which meets in New York In
May, for action on the declaratory state
ment with reference to the third and tenth
chapters Of the confession. These relate
to predestination and election Of infants.
The object is to remove MISUNDERSTANDING
on these points by declaring that the con-
fession is not to be understood as teaching
that any children who die in infancy are
lost; also that the confession is not to be
understood as teaching that the provisions
Of the gospel and the offer made by it is to
be limited to a certain n~umber-that Christ
died for all men, nor is II to be understood
as In any way interfering with human lib
erty and the freedom of men.
An overture will be sent to the general
assembly dropping from the text Of the
confession the chapters relating to the pope
OF Rome and that IL is a sin In another
TO refuse an oath when administered by
rightful authority.

RELEASE FOR SToCKHoLDER
Judge Munger Makes . Ruling I'm
P~IattsmOuth Gas Com
Pany suit.

J. @. Richie Of Piattsmouth has been
released from all liability for damages
in the case of the New Hampshire Savings
bank against the Plattsm>uth Gas and
Electric Light company and others. In
this suit the bank sought TO hold the city
responsible for the payment Of $11, S3S
which was paid as rent to the lighting
company when the city took the manage
ment of the company into its hands. Mr..
Richie wac q stockholder in the company
and participated in the distribution OF the
money paid by the city to the company.
In the action now pending 1t is claimed
that the money thus paid was a trust
fund, to be used for the benent of the
bondholders. and that the stockholders.
should be held for that amount. Judge
Munger takes a different view and holds
that the company had a right to lease the
property to the city or to anyone else so
far as the bondholders are concerned. He,
however. suggests that the question be
taken to the court OF appeals before the
main question is tried.

SHIELDS AND BRADY TRIAL
Victor walker TestIRes this Police
mn Hit Him without
PrOvOcation.

In county court yesterday Judge Vim
sonhaler began the hearing Of Victor B.
Walkers case again Martin Shields and
job Brady, policemen, charged with as
sault with intent to do great bodily injury.
The action grows out Of the incident Of
February &c, when the officers were sent
to 1922 Capitol avenue to arrest Walker for
carrying concealed weapons and are al
legged to have used undue violence in doing
so. Walker was given a hearing in police
court and fined 81 and costs by Judge

planned of, but takes the assault case into
county court. where I. ]. Dunn acts as his
attorney. W. ]. Connell and Thomas Lee

On the witness stand Walker testified that
! the first intimation he had of the presence
of the policemen was when Shields grabbed
his (Walker's) pistol from his hip pocket
and inflicted two painful wounds with 1t,
, one on the head and the other on the
side of the face, saying, Now, d. you,
I've got you" Witness did not remember
that Shields carried any club or that Brady
inflicted any blows. He said that on the
way to the station Brady said: Shields,
you did a good job" and that Shields an
swered: I'm ordered to bump him or"
OF their earlier relations, Walker said
that Shields had arrested three girls who
were drinking beer at a table in his place
one night last October and that he had
complained to the chief about It. He did
not know whether the chief had ever men,
toned the complaint to Shields. but later
when he went to speak to the oficer about
1t, Shields had declined to talk to him.
whereupon he had said: You're nothing
but a policeman and a policeman amt none
too good to talk to-" Witness said Shields
answer to this was: Now, d. you. don't
you monkey with me or I'll Ak you This
was, the witness said. their last conversa-
tion until the trouble now complained Of.

position to talk in detail on the subject.
He said the transfer would mean a revolu-
tion in the management Of the road, but
in what way he could not say.
The proposition Of Speyer g. Co., he said,
was the hrst bona fde offer made for the
purchase Of the road. The stock issue OF
the Choctaw amounts to 176, 900 shares Of

little information could be had as to the
prospective purchaser.
During tie last six months rumors have
connected the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe railway, the Missouri Pacific railway,
the st. Louis & San Francisco railroad and
the Rock Island railroad. There is a strong
belief that the last named road is the real
purchaser. This belief is strengthened by
the fact that the board Of directors OF
the Rock Island road is about to issue
