New York, secretary of the Industrial de-
partment of the International Young
Mems Christian association committee,
with w. s. Hopkins, state secretary, and
other members of the committee. Ac-
cording to Towson, secretary will give

Christian association work in the coal
camps, the work being adapted to meet
the all-around needs OF the men and
communities. New buildings are to be
constructed in several camps. while in
others present structures will be remod-
eled to fit the needs of the work.
The proposal to introduce association
work at the mining camps, according to
Towson. was suggested to President j. e.
Welborn and John ID. Rockefeller, jr.,
who gave immediate approval and author
izatton to the association to undertake
the work. A preliminary survey was made
to determine at what camps the men de-
sired the association to undertake its

Fort Kearney Road
is Newest Project

MINDEN. Neb.. Nov. 1s.-(Special.) THE
Kearney Commercial club. represented by
a committee of eight of Its members, was
entertained by the Mlnden Commercial
club at dinner at the Humphrey house
today. The object of the visit was to
confer concerning connecting link be-
tween the Lincoln highway, which runs
through Kearney. and the Omaha-Iin-
coln-Denver highway, which passes
through Minden. Both clubs were enthu-
siastically in favor of the connecting link.
The enc most favored by the Minden
club would pass right by old Fort Kear-
ney, once q noted stopping place for the
tourists of 1858. While no definite action
was taken at this time 1t was proposed
to call this connecting link between the
two great highways the Fort Kearney
road. A special meeting will be called by
the Minden Commercial club for the pur-
pose of considering this matter and ap-
pointing the necessary committees to act
in connection with the Kearney commit
tees.

DEPOT is IN RUINS
Old Landmark Which Has Stood for
Fifty Years is Consumed by
Flames.
TO BUILD A TEMPORARY DEPOT

The Union Pacific's three-story
flame depot and hotel building at
North Platte caught fire shortly
after Z o'clock Wednesday night and
three hours later had burned TO the
ground, entailing a loss of close to
$4,000. Before midnight plans had
been contaminated for the erection
CT temporary structure to be used
until plans can be prepared and a
permanent depot built.
Before Z o'clock in the morning,
and while the ruins Of the old depot
and hotel building were still smok-
ing, men were loading the debris
into wagons and carting 1t away. At
tie same time lumber was being
hauled onto the ground and nearly
100 carpenters and masons we're at
work on n new building that will be
used until a modern building is put
Up.
According TO the report received at the
offices of General Manager Ware Il is
presumed that the fire started from
sparks from a passlng engine, they hav-
ing lodged under some OF the boards Of
which the depot was constructed. The
fire had made considerable Roadway when
discovered. In the meantime brisk wind
was blowing. This famed the flames and
they quickly got beyond control though
the fire department did everything pos
siblo to put out the fire.
Railroad Men Help.
Railroad employees. OF which there are
several hundred in North Platte. includ-
| ing train and shopmen, hurried to the
scene of the fire and succeeded in getting
out of the building most OF the property.
The tickets and all of tho pieces OF bag

of the furniture in the portion of the
Of the building used as a hotel.
! SO far as a permanent building Is con-
cerned, nothing will be done until Presl-
dent Mohler returns. He is now in the
west and IL expected home next week.
When he returns 1t is expected that he
will at once confer with the New York
offices as 10 the character and cost of

supply bills passed by the Legislature.
Before Mayor Mitchell left Saturday on
his Western trip he sent letter to the
Governor asking that the city's repre-
sentatives have an opportunity to be
heard on the bills and give their rea-
sons in detail why they believed the
Sl9,0OO,O0O state direct tax was excess
sive and the tax bill should be vetoed.
II is likely that Mr.. McAneny will
appear in person at the hearings and
present his arguments for looping of a
good share of the 100000 of the di-
rect tax which falls TO this city. In
further Analysing the bills yesterday
Mr.. McAneny pointed out that instead
Of their amounting to S65,OOO,OOO, as
announced. in his opinion they would
reach the sum OF 500. 900 900, with S27,-
900 in addition if the referendum
before the Governor for that amount of
new canal work passed. This sum was
more than twice as large as the appro-
priations for 1910. he said.
Mayor Mitchell, in one Of his recent
statements against the direct tax, de-
clared that the appropriation bills pro-
vided for 81 900, 900 increase in salaries.
Mr. McAneny raised the Mayors fig
ures in that respect yesterday, declar-
ing that the bills appropriated at least
SO, 000, 900 for the creation of new places
and increases in salaries.

WHITMAN GIVES
TAXPAYERS CHANCE
Will Allow Them to EX-
anime Financial Bills
and Submit Ideas.
IFrorn Sc Corresponden. q W. rrlhnn

From star Correspondent, Of The Tribune
Albany, May 3.-In order to avoid
the criticism that the big appropriation
! bills passed by the Legislature arc to
be enacted without due consideration.
! Governor Whitman to-day announced
series of public hearings on all the
financial bills in his hands. The Gov
ernor made known his intention after
receiving a letter from Mayor Mitchell,
appealing 10 him to veto appropria-
tions in order to reduce the proposed
direct tax. The Mayor declared that of
the s19000,000 taxes, New York City
will have TO pay Sl4,000,000, which, he
claimed, will prove well nigh conis-
catory.'
New York City officials, with the eX-
ception of Controller Prendergast,
have complained that the direct tax
was not necessary, and that, in view
Of the large proportion New York vii!
have to pay. its representatives were
given slight consideration by the
Legislature in passing the appropria-
tion bills. II was upon this plea that
Minority Leader Robert r Wagner
sought an extra session OF a week in
which to consider the financial meas
ures.
In answer TO the Democratic cry OF
extravaganza the Republicans declare
that the S64,O0O,O00 appropriated Is
necessary in large part TO meet
deficits caused by vetoes OF eX-Gov-
ernor Glynn. They say that the money
bills have all been examined by eN-
perts, and that they cannot be cut
except by postponing payment OF the
states obligations to another year,
practice Glynn is charged with resort
ing 10.
The proceeding announced by the
Governor to-day is unique in the
states history. l. is his intention to
give every taxpayer all opportunity to
visit the Capitol and examine the items
in the money bills. The hearings will
start next Monday. and the thirty-two
department heads viii De required to
tell now much surplus he has on hand,
how much money he sought from the
Legislature, ard what ne intends 10 do
with the money allowed him. The Gov
ernor will do all the direct question
ing. but others may submit interroga-
tions through him, and any taxpayer
will be permitted 10 submit recon-
mendations in writing.
