HILL POUTS And BLUFFS, TOO
Burlington Follows Union Pacific Will
Notice Of Suspension.
HolDREGE SAYS DEPOT WORK STOP:
Forced TO Pay Taxes Like Other
Property Owners Railroads
Are Dying Hard, but
Dying.

The Burlington railroad has Joined the
Union Pacific and says 1t won't build its
freight depot in Omaha which its enor-
mously increasing volume Of business de-
mands and even makes a necessity.
General Manager Holdrege announced
Wednesday morning that he had tenn
porarily suspended all work in prep
aration for the new Burlington freight
depot which that company is to
build at Eighth and jackson streets.
While Mr.. Holdrege gave no reason for his
action. II is said to be the same reason that
Mr.. Mohler stopped the clearing of the site
for the Union Pacific headquarters. The
roads fear the terminal taxation bill will
become law and they will have to pay
taxes on their property the same as other
people have to do and they are therefore
trying to head off sentiment against ter
minal taxation by threatening to move
their headquarters and TO stop all building
No Blum by Northwestern.
Announcement was made Tuesday that
the contract had been let for the construc-
ton Of the new Northwestern freight depot
but the local authorities maintain they have
heard nothing OF the matter and, on the
other hand, John H. I-arte says he has
the contract and has had 1t since last
Thursday. He says he will begin work
Immediately.
The York correspondent of The Bee sent
the message that threats were being made
around that town that the Burlington
would not be able to build the new depot
promised because of the passage of the
2-cent passenger fare bill. G. w. Loomis
assistant to the general manager OF the
Burlington, was asked IL there was any
truth in the report that the road was going
to refuse to build the depot, and he said;
mot a word of truth in it. We are go
ing to build that depot"
The Union Pacific still maintains its posi-
ton as announced by General Manager
Mohler that the work Of clearing the site
for the new headquarters building had
been called of.
I According to Mr., Harte, the contract for
building the new Northwestern freight de-
pot and Office building at Fourteenth and
Davenport has been awarded to him from
the Chicago offices. although several Chi
cago firms made bids for the work The
approximate cost of the improvements will
be about 100000 and the buildings will oc-
cupy the west half of the three blocks
north from Fourteenth and Davenport
streets.

up In this case. BrOadWell has commended

D. Express Company Inquiry.
''rhe investigation of the express COM
panies ~ one OF the most important
matters before the country at this time.
These companies have been conducting
commission departments and have been
soliciting consignments and shipments OF
fruits, eggs, butter. oysters and other
produce as a regular business. Some of
than buy and sell outright OF course the
disposition OF the companies is to get the
produce in which they have an interest
on the market before other similar produc,
can reach II. Then the companies have
inside information as to the condition Of
..-n..N - .wt.t
commodity en- route to that point. which
gives them an advantage over all COM
petitors. Where necessary they offer to
handle and sell produce for the shipper
without charge and in that way they give
rebates on express charges to favored ship
pers. The probabilities are that the Inter-
state Commerce commission will open UP
the hearings at Omaha during the summer.
The commission merchants and produce
dealers are thoroughly aroused all over the
country and are determined that the p-ac-
tice shall STOP The proposition involved

She had been in this country only four years. She told Miss Magnet that she did not under stand how her husband came to be at the Hoosac tunnel, where he was fa- tally hurt. He had been working at East Royalston, she said, and regular ly sent her his wages.
 This was testified to by a letter found in Linton's clothing. addressed to his wife. in which was the bulk of his last weeks wages. although lie had only few pennies in his pocket for his own use. The woman was taken to the hospital to be cared for by Miss Magnet.

LICENSE SIGNATURES
Companies Being Organized 10

For the purpose of overcoming the law enacted by the recent legislature which prohibits property owners from signing more than one appllca- ton for liquor license, a company has been organized in New London. The charter of the company entities 1t to procure and sell the signature of property owner to an applicant for liquor license. It IS not necessary to be member of the company to obtain the signature, though t1is said by some lawyers that it was the pur.- pose of the law to create such cor. poration and make every liquor deal- CT stock holder of 1t. Other law. yers say that to sell signatureunder such circumstances would be illegal The signer In the case would be per forming public duty, is what some lawyers say and that no one has a right to charge for the performance of public duty.
 Other lawyers, however, say that one's signature Is his own property just as a certificate to teach schoo! is the property of school teacher and she may do with it as she cares to so long as she does not interfere with the rights of others.
 It is the opinion of some that the law, while created with every honest purpose in view, will turn out to be a money making scheme for some smart fellows.
