PASS QUESTION IS DEBATED
Handsome New Homes Omaha Business Firms Soon Be Occupied
How TO Interpret and Follow Out Law
Discussed by Officials
HARTMAN AND HUGHrT MEN CONFER
Report the PaciRc Road MaEnate Has
Recalled Passes Discredited,
as They Expire In
Ample Time,

Meetings of the head of officials Of the
Northwestern road and the Union Paciho
in fact. all the Hartman lines-are be-
ing held with a view of ascertaining what
the new rate law means and how best 70
arrange for its observance. The work 10
being done under the supervision Of Mar
win Hughitt, head OF the Northwestern,
and ]. c. Stubs, traffic director of the
Hartman lines. The example set by these
roads will be followed by others and
general recognition Of the law seems prev
alent. Although the time Is short before
the law goes into effect, and some OF tho
changes are severe, the roads win mako
an effort to prepare for the strict OBJ
servance of the law.
The plan is to go over the law, section by
section, and then have the trafflo repre-
sentatives give their views as to the
proper Interpretation OF the section and
how best to observe It. The attorneys
will then be called into council to give
their exposition Of the law, and from
these opinions the problem Is 20 be
worked out General circulars will then
be issued fhstructing the officials and
agents what to do and how to do IT, The
first thing to be determined Is whether
any OF the present practices infringe on
the Hepburn law and IL so to issue orders
TO cease such practices. Many rulings
from the commission and courts will have
to be secured on the mooted points of the
new law before the roads win know just
what to do.
The telegram from San Francisco that
Hartman had recalled all annual passes
! is questioned in Omaha Union Pacific
officials point out that the law does not
become effective until january 1, 1907,
when the passes win have expired any
way.

BURGLARS IN SOAP FACTORY
Safe blowers Make Futile Attempt
to Raise Money from
Colonel Gibson.

Burglars made partial attempt TO open
the safe in the office OF the Gibson Soap
company, Twenty-eighth and Sahler
streets, Friday night. When the factory
was opened, about o'clock Saturday
morning, It was discovered that quarter
inch hole had been drilled into the safe
above the combination, and the drill left
hanging on the combination knob.
Whether daylight came upon the cracks
men or whether they were frightened in
some manner could not be learned by
the detectives who investigated the case.
The tools used by the oulprits were
taken from the blacksmith shop of the
soap factory. There was no money in
the safe at the time Of the attempted
entrance. The intruders gained entrance
through a basement window.

GOOD INCREASE in BUILDING
First Half of the Year shows I'm
with Fine Advance
over 1908.

Building for the first half OF the year in
the larger cities shows a very satisfactory
increase over the corresponding period a
year ago. During the first six months, &C
cording to official reports to Construction
News, permits were taken out for buildings
to cost $275 6254S7, against $247 s2s 6S1 for the
corresponding period a year ago, an in
crease Of s27.s2s,7i6, or II per cent. From a
glance at the enormous totals one can ap-
preclate the Importance OF the building in
dustry of the country. There is scarcely
anything remarkable about the report
other than 1t should be a source of great
satisfaction to know that 1t shows a gain
over what was, prior to this, the most
prosperous building season in the history
Of the country. The figures in detail are
as follows, according to tho Construction

hats on Twenty-hfth street valued at $4,000
and numerous small residence properties.
People say he made his money in the fruit
business. Mr.. DeChristian himself. how

able portion of II by judiclous investments
In Omaha real estate. Whenever he saved
900 from his business he bought a piece
Of property, and he has always found that
1t grew in value as he held It. Mr.. De-
Christian has taken out permits for two
s. 900 houses, which he will build for rental
purposes.

Of number of small dwellings. Already
permits have been issued for the erection

GIpsy Life DisappearinE.

Street cooking in San Francisco is
passing away, and the appetizing aroma
of coffee and fried bacon no longer greets
one as he walks TO and from his labors.
Street cooking was one Of the unique
features Of the city after the big fire
had driven half the population from
their homes and put the water and gas
out OF commission In the rest OF the
houses.
For four weeks not a chimney smoked
and no cook stove, either OF coal. wood
or gas. burned the biscuit or scorched
the steak. II was an al freseo affaiT in
which a whole city full OF people Joined.
It was a municipal regulation which no
eastern city could have enforced, but
which was easy OF contamination here
because OF San Francisco's even climate.
The difficulty became a diversion, and
the whole community rejoiced in the re-
Taxation to gypsy life Perhaps the new
order Of things saved the day for the
people, giving them something TO think
about and taking their minds away from
the great disaster which befeu the city.

Kang Yo Wei, President Of Reform Asso
sociation, Says Women Beautiful.

NEW YORK. August lI.-There were
fully 500 Cinnamon on the pier Of the
Hamburg American line yesterday when
Kang Yo Wei, president of the Chinese
Empire Reform Association sailed. He
had completed years visit to this
country, Mexico, and Canada and was
going to observe conditions in Russia,
Spain, Greece and Portugal.
The leader of the reform movement
made a speech from the steamers deck
to the throng on the pier and was round
ly applauded. Standing by him at the
time was his daughter, who remains here
to enter college in the fall Kang Yo
Wei was enthusiastic praise Of America
while talking to reporters and declared
that this government was one OF the
best in the world.
"When the reform party goes into
power at home" said he, ''your methods
will be copied" Particularly did he
praise American women. saying that
their beauty and the freedom of their
lives were extremely attractive to him.
He wished that the women of China
were as beautiful and could live as un-
hampered as women here.

Quake is Recorded.

VICTORIA, August 1.-THE Val
paniso earthquake was recorded by the
seismograph at Victoria. This afternoon
the officer in charge of the meteorologi-
cal station obtained record of the
shock, which while it does not appear as
bad as that which devastated San Fran
cisco, was quite prolonged There is
however, a question of the distance to
be taken into consideration in making
the comparison of the severity. From
the local record, the earthquake occurred
about 4;l0 Pacific Coast time) yester-
day afternoon, and lasted until s o'clock.
The heaviest shock was felt at 4:45 and
the next worst at 5:45. Both these
shocks were prolonged.

PLACED UNDER ARREST.

PENDLET0N, Ore, August l7-Upon
warrant charging them with the for.
gerry of win, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman
Warner were placed under arrest yester-
day afternoon. Soon after their arrest
they asked to be released on bail, and
County Judge Gilliland, before whom
they were taken in the absence of their
Circuit Judge, fixed the amount of their
bail at $3.50 each. Later in the after
noon this was furnished, Thomas Thomp.
son and Frank Curl becoming bondsmen
and the two were released. It is prob.
able that the case against the Warmers
will not be tried until the jury term of
court in the fall. AT that time it is
likely hard legal fight win be waged,
because of the amount involved in the
will, 100000. The firms of Carter, Raley
& Raley, and Winter & Collier have been
retained for the Warmers.

unknown to the world OF science. Ker-
guelen island il situated at 49 degrees
south latitude and 10 degrees east
longitude, half way between Africa
and Tasmania. 1t is 90 miles long and
contains volcanoes and glaciers. Its
temperature seldom rises above fifty
degrees or falls below zero. 1t has
never been inhabited for any length OF
time. A whaling vessel will leave Mr..
Klein at the island, returning for him
after three months cruise in southern
waters.
