HONEST PORTER FINDS GRIP
CoIored Man on Pullman Car Re-
covers VaIise and Hunts
Up the Owner.


The honesty OF two Pullman po1ers on
the Northwestern road has been the means
OF making l. B. Bachenheimer. representa-
tive of the Crown Suspender company OF
New York a very happy man. Mr.. Bach
enheimer was enroute to Council BLUFFS
and misplaced the grip containing over
5000 worth of orders and other valuables
while on the train, but did not miss them
until his arrival in Council BLUFFS. He
did not know whether he lost the grip on
the train or whether 1t had been stolen
from him after leaving the train. However,
he came on over to Omaha and registered
at the Her Grand Friday morning. When
reaching the hotel he incidentally observed
a couple of neatly dressed colored men
sitting in the hotel lobby, and one of them
asked him his name, believing him to be
Mr. Bachenheimer. The latter acknowl-
edged such was his name and asked the
colored man his business. He was in
formed that he was one of the porters
on the train, that he had found the grip
and, learning that Mr.. Bachenheimer had
come over to the Her Grand, brought II
over to him.
Mr.. Bachenheimer was much delighted TO
recover the grip and rewarded the porter
for his honesty.

MUNROE EXPLLINSTH RAISE
Union Pacific Traffic Manager Says Old
Rate Proved Embarrassing.
THIS is WHY BRIDGE TOLL is TO co UP
Says His Road Has Done More for
the Omaha Grain Exchange
Than Any other
Railway.

I'VE have decided to raise the rate on
grain from Council BLUFFS to omaha and
South Omaha because the old rate has
proved embarrassing and noncompensa-
tory" said J. A. Munroe, freight traffic
manager of the Union Pacific, when ques-
toned In refers1ce to the protest filed with
the Interstate Commerce commission by
the Omaha Grain exchange.
The Iowa lines have practically their
own rails from Council Bluffs TO Omaha
and South Omaha, that is. they pay the
Union Pacific by the year for the use of
the tracks, and we think It Is for them to
haul the grain to Omaha and South Omaha.
When the grain is stopped at Council
Bluffs to be turned over to us It congests
further a terminal already congested.
I'VE have done more for the Omaha
Grain exchange than any other one road,
but think this is the business of the Iowa
lines which can run their cars into Omaha,
and It is proper they should haul the grain.
They figure each car at charge OF Sc in
the new tarifr which we will soon put into
effect, but that is not right. We have fol-
lowed our new plan of cents per hundred
instead Of dollars per car on the bridge,
the same as for the main line. The rate
is made / cent per 100, with minimum of
IS per car, from. Council Bluffs to Omaha
and South Omaha. This is in line with the
scheme which prevails in other large ter
minals, notably between st. Louis and East
st. Louis
1.-THE Iowa roads can extend the Iowa
distant rate into Omaha and we should
not be expected to haul the cars over for
81, at loss when there Is no advantage
to be gained, and. besides, when II tends
to longest the terminals across the river.

mule railroad was the only method of
transportation across the American deserts

WHISPERS FIGURE IN CASE

DOIored Man SLAVES and Changes His
Appearance Completely, Giving

A little bunch Of whiskers on the chin

guilt or Innocence OF one man suspected of
the atrocious murder of Miss Josephine
Rummelhart, october 8 and of other revolt
Ing crimes in the vicinity of Riverview park
about that same time
Il am still uncertain II Smith is i'm
plicated In the Rummelhart case" said
Chief Donahue Friday morning after an
extended personal interview with the negro
who Is suspected Of that crime and who il
being subjected to the most rigid investl-
cation, but he knows a lot more than he
is willing to tell us. When questioning him
/ did not refer to the Rummelhart murder.
but asked him II he knew where the high
school grounds were and he said ne did
and that he had probably done a few odd
Jobs for citizens In that vicinity. 1t Is
possible future investigation may bring 20
light something that has more positive
bearing on the case but at present we have
nothing further to work on.
Smith lived at a lodging house near
Twelfth and Dodge streets and we are go
ing to have the residents OF that vicinity
have look at him and see II any Of them
knows anything about him"
Investigation Goes On.
The investigation by the police OF Frank
Smith, the colored man suspected OF know
ing something Of the murder Of Josephine
Rummelhart on the night Of october s. is
still being instituted with vim, and In
the shuttle Smith has lost the beautiful
bunch OF whiskers that had evidently been
cultivated with much care and persever-
ance. After the loss of the whskers the
metamorphosis OF Smith was complete and
he looks like an entirely different man.
For this reason 1t has been decided 10
have the Riverview citizens who were 90
annoyed by a negro about the time of the
Rummelhart murder view Smith again.
Smith still continues taciturn and either
refuses or is mentally incapable of giving
a coherent account of his travels within
the last few months. He is thought not
to be a victim of any drug habits, but is OF
the lowest possible type, the police say
and just such as would commit dastardly
crime like the murder Of Miss Rummel'
hart.

after the removal of his beard. have beer

Union Pacific lawyers have shown no dis

like fair terms, he said.
The case comes up for hearing In the

Union Pacific officials contended the raise
of their personal assessment from $1s6, 00C
to over 100000 was unjust. Mr.. Breen had
a conference Thursday morning with the
Union Pacific legal department, but he said
that department would not even split that

ton.
