MAYOR BECKER THE FEATURE
Youthful Executive of Milwaukee
VIII he Star at Mckinley
Club BANQUET.

Speaking Of the Mckinley club banquet
arrangements, John j. Ryder Of the COM
mittee having the banquet in charge says:
I'VE considered ourselves fortunate in

Becker of Milwaukee for this annual event
He is in constant demand as a speaker at
political and commercial banquets and will
come to Omaha from Louisville, KY,
where he addresses the Board Of Trade
day or two previous to our date. While
not as radical a republican as La Toilette,
Mayor Becker is every whit as forceful.
His fight for the mayoralty against demo-
Gratis. socialists and conservative repub-
licans was one of the most notable po-
litlcal battles ever fought in Wisconsin
Booker always has something TO say that
makes people talk.
I'm rddition to the Wisconsin leader

ator Norris Brown that he will make all
possible effort to get back from washing

OF his letter leaves no doubt of his in
tention 10 be with us. He wants TO meet
and become acquainted with the Omaha
leaders in business and politics. and has
let his friends so understand. The Nc
Kinley club. because of its position as a
boosting club purely, provides a safe meet
ing ground for men of all elements in the
party, and Senator Brown has always been
a very popular man with the membership.
He knows. too, that his friendlness Is
heartily reclprocated.
Governor Sheldon has also given the
committee an acceptance of its invitation,
conditional on his official duties permitting
the trip. As matters demanding his inn
mediate attention WIN be pretty well set
tied by the end of the month, we are conf
IDENTIFY counting on his attendance.
Tickets will be on sale with the men,

Piece EIaborateIy Staged.
The piece has been staged with much
elaboration. In the witches cavern a realis-
tic touch has been added that hightens
the general uncanny effect and gives the
wierd sisters all the verisimilitude of those
encountered by the thames on the blasted
heath and after sought by the king in their

the pleasing effect is sacrificed to the
effort to produce a startling illusion. The
lights are turned off. and Banquo actually
appears under a ray of blue light. This
detracts, rather, from the scene. 1t would
seem that Macbeth could as we'll see

MOaLER SAYS ALL is WELL

PEACE FOR FoRn-sfVtN RAILWAYS

Able Body of Men, Led
by strong Executive
in stone.

General Manager Mohler of the Union Pa
cihc, who has been attending a meeting Of
the executive committee OF the managers
of the western roads, returned to Omaha
Thursday morning. Mr. Mohler was one
of a committee Of twelve who represented
forty-seven western lines in the conference
with the engineers in their demands for
more pay and better hours.
The committee has been dismissed" said
Mr.. Mohler, and everything adjusted sat
isfactorily to both sides. The agreements
are all signed and will be effective February
l. for all the engineers employed on forty
seven roads. all situated west of Chicago.
The engineers withdrew their request to
have the time reduced to eight hours and
said their purpose in asking for eight hours
was simply as a basis Of value: that they
knew trains could not be run between ter
minals on that time and that to insist ,on
eight hours as days work would change
every terminal on most of the roads and
make men abandon their homes at the
present terminals.
The conference was most representative
and Mr.. Stone of the engineers showed him

and tact. All the chairmen OF these lines

Four sample steel Cars.
The Union Pacific is building at its
! Omaha shops four sample steel cars. two
! for freight, one for passenger service and
one mail car Steel car construction is
attracting the attention Of railroad man
ayers all over the country because of their
great superiority over the old wooden type
| The difficulty has been that steel cars
were built along the same lines the old
wooden cars, and this has made them too
| heavy, although they were considerably
! stronger. The problem is now to develop
| a car which will get the additional strength
| from the use of steel without pilng on too
much additional weight.
| DemurraEe Law Big HeIp.
| The railroads claim the new demurrage
law is great help to them in getting coal
| to the centers where It is needed Under
this new arrangement the dealers are re-
quired TO unload the cars within certain
time or pay a heavy demurrage, while
under the old ruling cars were held for
weeks before they were unloaded. Take
the instance of the neutrality-suspicious. which
is the heavy coal carrying line into Omaha
because it brings coal here from all direc-
tons Before the demurrage clause was
enforced it was no uncommon occurrence
for that road to have 500 loaded cars on
the tracks in Omaha at one time. Thurs
day that road had 200 loaded cars and all
these probably would be unloaded before
they began to draw demurrage. Omaha is
consuming more and more coal every year
as the homes increase in number we'll
