SLIPPERY AND MANY FALL
Are DimcuIt of NavIEa-
ton with the SIeety snow
Falling.

Pedestrians had a hard time navigating
Friday afternoon on the slippery walks and
many were forced to take 10 the middle OF
streets especially on Farnam between Fiji
teenth and Seventeenth streets. Many had
severe falls and places in the windows along
the street were at a premium, for all the
clerks in the stores gathered to see the un-
wary take a tumble. Especially was IL
slippery on some Of the polished stone
walks and those who did not walk on their
toes" were pretty app TO find themselves
furnishing amusement for the onlookers.

Officials Oppose Omaha.

The Omaha boys are not knocking Chi
cago, but they are missing no opportunity
to boost their own town. OF course the
wool growers committee is against them
and whatever they accomplish will be by
downright hard work and through personal
contact with the grower. 1t has not yet
been determined IL Omaha will be reorgan-
lied In the convention as the executive
officers are also the leaders of the oppos-
ing faction and interpret Omaha's action
as a declaration of war and are acting
accordingly.
Feeling is exceedingly bitter in some
quarters and the outcome cannot be pre-
dicted now. Montana and Utah have dis
appointed the promoters of the Chicago
organization and while it is expected to
go through 1t may have to start with a.
smaller stock subscription than agreed
on. Wool buyers are here and in an eff
fort to cripple the storage movement are
buying wool on the sleeps backs as high
as nineteen cents a pound. This condition
at this time of the year is unusual and is
superinduced by the determination of the
sheepmen to develop and put the storage
idea into operation.

Otto Meyer, the veteran barber In the Bee

feCts OF an appendicitis operation as to be
able to talk to his friends over the tele-
phone and will leave Emmanuel hospital in
a few days for his home. Mr.. Meyers case
was a critical one and at one time his re-

COAL ROADS TO FIGHT.
Ask. Injunction Restraining Inter
state Commission from Making Rates

Philadelphia, Sept. 2S.-Alleging that the rates
fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commission
for the carrying OF bituminous coal were I'M
reasonable, several railroads filed a bill in equity
to-day In the United States Circuit Court here
asking for an injunction restraining the COM
mission from enforcing It's decree
The compliments are the Philadelphia &
Reading Railway, the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road. the Cumberland Valley Railroad the
Lehigh & New England Railroad and Benjamin
F. Bush. receiver for the Western Maryland
Railroad.
They allege that II they are obliged TO charge
the rates fixed by the commission their several
stockholders will lose thousands of dollars and
that their property will be taken without due
process of law.
Particular complaint is made in the bill that
the rate fixed by the commission for the carry
ing OF Dig vein coal from Georges Creek Basin,
in Allegheny County, Md. and from the Elk
County. Penn, region to tidewater is excessive
and ought not to exceed the rates OF Transport
tation for small vein coal shipped to the same
points.

DISCREDIT COPPER Plan.
Financiers Doubt Rumored Project
to Unite Producing Commands.

The report published in April of a project for
combining the great copper producing companies of
the United States revived yesterday but found
no general acceptation and said to be without
foundation as far concerned Phelps Dodge & Co
ana other important interests The plan, as out
Ilned n the spring. was understood to have been
the conception OF the late II H Rogers then presi-
cent or the Analgamated Copper Company, and TO
have had the support of William f. Corey president
Of the United States Steel Corporation and various
Pittsourg men prominently identified with the steel
Industry.
A variant of this plan was announced yesterday
by Ihomas w. Lawson in circular being about
10 be carried into execution. his statement being
mat $3.50, 5000 corporation would be formed.
TO buy, sell and trade in copper. This company he
added. would control more than two billion pounds
or the metal. and its operations would make for
stability in the copper market as II would pur-
chase the metal low markets and sell It on high
The United Metals Selling Company controlled by
the Amalgamated Copper Company and the Levi
sohns. now handles the output of the Amalgamated
and its subsidiaries and OF various independents
the total production under its control being esti
mated at about CSC, 600, 900 pounds a year out of
an aggregate estimated annual production of the
metal in North America of about 200, 900 900
pounds.
The formation Of company such that outlined
by Mr.. Lawson would apparently have as a condi-,
ton precedent an agreement among practically all Of
the leading producers OF copper and such an agree
ment is believed by leading men In the industry to
be far from contamination. AS for the companies
operating under the laws Of Michigan, they say
among them the great Calumet and Hecla Mining
Company, their charters would be forfeited II
proof Of their entrance into combination to regu-
late production and prices should be obtained by
the state authorities.
That a plan for bringing the great producing
companies into giant merger was seriously dis
cussed some time ago there is to believe
and that the Calumet and Hecla and Phelps, Dodge
& Co, corporations which must be included in
such merger TO make it effective were then hos
tile to the idea, and less opposed to ii,
is understood TO be also the fact. The Amalga-
mated Copper Company, however. it is believed,
will in time take the properties controlled
by the Cole-Ryan interests, whose business rea-
tions with the Amalgamated management are close.
