the roundhouse. 1t had not been suf-
ficiently checked in its movement and Mr..
Downie rushed to jump into the cab to
shut off the throttle. He did not notice
at the time the proximity Of the round
house door. When the larger engines pass
through these there is barely six inches
left at either side. Just as he was about
to enter the cab he was caught between
the engine and the door and crushed. HIS
fellow workmen ran to his assistance, but,
while conscious, he was suffering terribly
and it was at once seen that his condi-
ton was most serious He was taken to
the st. Francis hospital Both shoulders

the lungs. There was also severe scalp
wound and other minor injuries. Mr..

FOR GRAIN EXCHANGE ALONE
Members Oppose Consolidation of Traffic
Interests with Jobbers,
GRAIN TRAFFIC TO Be INDEPENDENT
~ytz&est OF Sentiment Brought About by
suggertiOn Onered In Favor of
Resolution at Called
Meeting.

The first clash in the Grain exchange on
the subject of Secretary Merchants sue
cessor came yesterday. Another is slated
for Friday. .4... ~. -..t
The. slIirRIsh yesterday resulted IN bring
ing out opposition to the proposed conf
bination of the interests of the exchange
and the Commercial club, as far as trans
portEtion matters are concerned, and of
making r.. j. McVann traffic commissioner
of the exchange as he is of the club. Resolu-
tions favoring such action met with strong
opposition, and were finally given into the
keeping Of an amendment committee.
j. II. Hamilton, chairman of the grain
committee early in the morning, called
a meeting for 8 O'Clock at the Commercial
club rooms, asking the attendance of the
grain committee and the general member
ship of the exchange. About twenty men
responded.
Nathan Merriam presented a set of reso-
lutlons providing for the proposed combina-
ton of interests. and motion was passed
to take up the resolutions by sections. The
, discussion proceeded no further than the
first section. for by the time that had been
before the meeting a half hour, it had
become evident that the majority were in
opposition to the movement and the friends
of the resolutions were willing to drop the
matter for the time being At one juncture
there was a motion to table the resolutions.
but II was withdrawn and a decision made
to, leave them with committee for re-
vision Friday at o'clock, the subject
VIII be resumed.
OppositIOn TO Consolidation. -
No one spoke for the resolution with the
exception of Mr.. Merriam. 1t was opposed
by ]. e. Won Dorm A. b. Jacquith, Floyd
Campbell. r. p Peck, James Walsh, w. s.
Dexter and Il. c. Twamley. Several MEM
bers remained silent Through the session.
Mr.. Won Dorm said he was not in favor
of cutting down the expenses of the eX-
change to the detriment OF its interests,
which would result unless the secretary or
commissioner gave his whole time to the
business. ne added that the grain trade
presented different problems from those or
dinarily handled by the commissioner OF
the Commercial club A. h. Jacquith and
James Walsh said the exchange was per
tsctly capable of standing alone and ought
BY all means to maintain its separate

TO ask the Commercial club for help or
any occasion without passing any resolu
tons. and. more than that, the club has

NAMING POLICE BOARDsA THANKLEss TASK
Rumor Pollard FavOrs Primary I'm

Has stirred ID the
Politicians.
cFrom a stan Correspondent


LINCOLN. March 27.-CSpecial.)-"l shall
recommend to the next legislature the re-
peal Of that part of the Omaha charter
which provides the governor shall appoint
the Board OF Fire and Police Commission
ers for Omaha"
This is the way Governor Mickey eN-
pressed himself just before appointing j.
w. Thomas to be again member of the
police board.
The fact that the governor has to APP
point this board is an Acknowledgement
OF the people OF Omaha that they cannot
govern themselves continued the eXecu-
tive. "The governor has to appoint men
on the recommendation of others and he
never knows whether he is getting good
men or not.
There are so many factions i'm Omaha
that the Job Of naming a Board OF Fire
and Police Commissioners is one of the
most disagreeable that comes to a gov
ernor. The same thing applies to South
Omaha There is a town that cannot gov
ern itself and the citizens come down to
the legislature to get a bill passed to
force the governor to take the response
bility of naming the board of police COM
missioners.
Il have come to the conclusion the
proper thing to do is to recommend to the
legislature home rule for Omaha and South
Omaha so as to save my successor the
trouble and the trials l have had with
these two towns naming police boards. The
governor should not have to interfere with
these local affairs at all"

objections TO a Primary.

The report that Mr.. Pollard's congress
sional committee intended to call pri-
mary to select nominee rather than the
old-time convention has caused several
indications of bucking all along the line.
Lancaster politicians don't want the prl-
mary and some of the candidates before
the convention which nominated Pollard
are inclined to go straight up when the
matter is discussed. One of them said:
THE counties composing the district Will
not submit to a primary. The congress
sional committee can do what 1t pleases
in the way of recommending primary,
but it has no power to compel county
committee to submit to it. The convention
is recognized in law and the primary Is
not. II the committee does recommend
or order primary you can put it down
that the outside counties will not stand
