REDUCES MAIN LINE MILEAGE
NINE MILES.
CUT OFF
Cut Across the Horseshoe West Of
Omaha and Cuts Down Distance and

Eliminates Troublesome Track.

Omaha, May 16.-The Union Pa
cifc railroad reduced Its main line
mileage nine miles at midnight, when
1t opened the Lane cutoff between
Omaha and Lane, Nebraska, a dis,
lance Of liz miles.
This short Stretch Of track has been
one Of the most expensive ever built,
costing over three and a half million
dollars. It has a double track and
will, aside from reducing the mileage,
enable the road to cut out entirely
one of the most troublesome stretches
Of track on its entire system.

When the Union Pacific, with gov.
eminent aid, sought a line out OF Oma'

avoid the serious grades and cuts in.
cident to a direct line between Omaha
and the Platte valley. This line has
been used ever since, or for over a
years. In the general improvement
campaign upon the Union Pacific lines
1t was determined to straight cut
across the Horseshoe, the semi-cir
Gle Of which traversed nearly 81 miles
just after leaving Omaha.
The new route furnished an air line
directly west from Omaha, cutting of

ducing the grade about SO per cent.

BELIEVED ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN

SEARCHING FOR BODY
No Definite ciew as to Disappearance
Of Miss Bertha vanderbilt-Asked
colored Woman Way Home-uncle
Conducts Search.

Princeton, N. j., May 16.-No def
mite clew as to the disappearance of
Miss Bertha Vanderbilt, an assistant
in the Princeton university. library,
developed today. It is generally be
lieved, however, that the missing girl
was drowned in Carnegie lake, and
acting on this belief, searchers are to-
day dragging the lake at the aqueduct,
three miles from Princeton.
Inquiry in the district surrounding
the place where Miss Vanderbilt was
last seen walking has led to the in
formation that the girl asked a col
ored woman servant on a nearby farm
as to the shortest way back to Prince
ton.
This is mystifying to her friends, as
Miss Vanderbilt has lived here several
years, was very familiar with the
neighborhood and traversed the
waters in the vicinity of Princeton
very frequently in a canoe. DR.. W. G:
Chase, an uncle Of the missing woman,
is conducting the search.

Washington, May 16.-secretary
Taft on his return to Washington
Monday next will make full report
to the president Of his conference
with the Panama omcials.
During his visit 1t was reported to
Secretary Taft by a certain element
Of the population Of the isthmus that
the elections in that country had
been unfair and that no proper ex-
preston of public opinion had been
permitted. Secretary Taft was very
much impressed by what had been
told him and in his conferences with
the authorities no doubt laid great
stress on the complaints. Today's re-
ports from Panama indicate that his
efforts have brought prompt response
from the officials Of the republic, and
the efficient carrying out Of measures
for securing fair elections, It is %
tlieved here, will render further sug-
gestions from the United States I'M

that Thaw was sane, went into the
