question.

COLLISION OR TWO.

EnIiven Omaha Strike Situation.

Omaha. Neb., Oct. 5.-Aside from a

SENATOR GLENN TAKES HAND.
Tribune Man Sides With Governor in
Tax Controversy.

Senator W. NJ. Glenn. of Tribune,
came to the state house on business
today and took time to make a few
comments On the tis-Stubbs tax con-
troversy which has been raging back
and forth the last ten days.
Senator Glenn is a staunch Repub-
l1can and an "old head in Kansas poll
tics and he is not considered an adj
ministration man but he favored the
Stubs side of the fight in his inter-
view today.
81 am not lined up for either side
of this question: said the senator, but
1 cannot see why the enemies of the
administration are criticising the levy
itself If they claim that the state adj
ministration at this time is demanding
too high taxes why don't they put
down in black and white just where
the state is too liberal in its distribu
ton of funds? The levy is made to
clear the state from debt and the fact
that the levy was high this year was
because the debts were larger-appar-
emily.
IF the taxes are too high 1 am in
sympathy with the other end of the
scrap but if the enemies of the admin
istration are simply protesting about
the levy I believe that they should
look into the matter more closely and
see Just where the money goes. Then
If they find a loose end they have
perfect right to make it hot for the
governor"

MUST BUILD A DEPOT.
Union Pacific Ordered to Erect One in
Kansas City, Kan.

The state board of railroad commits
sioners met today at the state house
and decided that the Union Pacific
railroad must build an adequate pas
senger depot in Kansas City, Kan, at
once. The Union Pacific depot at this
place has been inadequate and unfit
for use for some time but the board
withheld any action until the new
Union depot at Kansas City, Mo-,
could be planned and situated by that
city. The new Union depot will be
much farther from the Kansas City,
Kansas, Union Pacific depot than the
present structure and for this reason
the traffic in the Kansas depot will be
much larger than before.
AS a result the board has asked
that business pick up at once. The
old plan of getting off the trains in
Kansas City, Mo-, and taking the
street cars into Kansas will drop off
when the new Union depot is built
and the board thus sees the handwrit-
ing of increased Kansas traffic on the
wall. Then the proposition of rear
pot site has made the railroad board
lenient in their requests.
1t is understood by the railroad
commissioners that the Missouri Pac-
fife is preparing to erect a $4,000
structure in Kansas City, Kan. This
depot will be used by the Missouri
Pacific. the Maple Leaf, the North
western and the Orient. The Rock
Island through contract with the I'm
ion Pacific cannot use a Kansas de-
pot and thus they are exempt from the
Jurisdiction of the board. The Santa
Fe has a good station.

PEACE IS ASSURED.
Cleveland Street Car War Is Settled
Tom Johnson's Way

Cleveland, O.. Oct. 5.-A confer
ence waSASeld today to arrange final
details which will result in an abso-
lutte settlement of the local street rail-
way situation which has been bitter
ly agitated for eight years.
During the life of the controversy
it has been a political issue at all
times Partial settlements have been
made and many proposed, but all
failed of their object. Now peace is
assured.
The basis of the strike has been
Mayor Tom. L. Johnson's contention
for three cent fare. The proposed
settlement will be on this rate of
fare and will eliminate the street car
question from the fall campaign
1t is agreed that the city shall give
the Cleveland railway company, the
owner of the local lines, a twenty
five year franchise, revokable at any
time that any of the details of the
contract with the city is violated.
The city reserves the right to pur-
chase the lines at any time municipal
ownership is made lawful.
The city also reserves the right to
name a purchaser of the lines after
eight years.
The initial rate of fare is to be
three cents on all lines with one
cent extra charge for a transfer. Both
the city and the railway company
have agreed to let Judge Robert w.
1dyler Oh TIE United OIdlSS COuIl, uS-
termine the value of the railway
property and the maximum rate of
fare. 1t is agreed that at no time
shall the rate of fare be greater than
will allow the company an earning Of
more than 6 per cent on the value of
the property. consistent with good
service.
Judge Tayler has indicated that he
will make the maximum rate four
cents for a cash fare and the regular
ticket rate seven tickets for Is cents
and a cent extra for transfers. This
proposition has been accepted both
by the city and the railway company
