THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1902. 1) CONTEMPLATES NO VIOLENCE | President Kennedy Assures Police Ohief that Order Will Be Maintained, STRIKERS DESIRE TO WIN PEACEABLY Engineers and Fisemen et Expected to Take Hand in Strike at T but May Act Later On, * Time, Chiet of Pollce Donahue has become in- terested in the pending strike of Union Paclfic employes. In response to a rumor of contemplated violence by the strikers the chief yesterday called Into his office President Kennedy of the Bollermakers' unlon and others of that organization and held a conference with the men upon the report which reached him the evening be- fore. This conference failed evidence upon which to base such a re- port. The information which first reached Chiof Donahue was that President Kennedy himself had made certain threats against mny “scab” who would attempt to take the place of a striking boilermaker at the Union Pacific shops, and then this report was mod- fled by the chief's informant to eay that the threat was not made by President Ken- medy himself, but by one of his assoctates tn Kennedy's presence. “There is no syllable of truth in the re- port and whoever is the author of it has elther delfberately misrepresented facts or ‘has been imposed on by some unreliable party,” eald President Kennedy after his onference with Chief Donahue. Want to Win on Merit, to win this strike on its he continued, “and if we cannot !win it that way then we will submit to de- feat, for one thing s certain, we have never Ahreatened, contemplated or suggested re- porting to violence in any form to galn the ‘struggle. There has not been the remotest \ntontion or thought of any forcible or un- /lawful means on the part of the boilermak- Jers, 1 can assure you, and I told the chiet the same. I am sure he was thoroughly convinced that our sentiment had been Halsely represented to him “The bollermakers regret exceedingly that any such report should have been cir- culated, for they have from the first tried 1o conduct themselves in a manner to incur the least criticism and give the impression to none that they wanted anything but what they belleved was just and fair. We would a thousand times rather lose our contest with the Union Pacific company after a peaceable struggle than to win it by violent means. This is our position, and in all our councils we have urged agalnst any departure from it. I am positive that the rumor which was carried to the chiet ot to develop any | the end. conference yesterday, chiefly regarding the proposition submitted by the car bullders. The statement was made after this con- ference that the whole subject called to thelr attention by the car buflders will re- cefve fullest conslderation and a oconcl sion 1s looked for very soon. Another con- terence will be held this morning. Officials of the road protest that there is no ground for the alleged intention of the engineers and firemen to strike. The com- pany has a 1ist of thirty-three engines in first-class repair and ready for highest serv- ice, besides a number of other engines that could be drafted for ordinary use. A meeting of the executive couneil of the machinists is billed for today or Thursday. |WEIRD SCENE AT DEATH BED Chinamen Chant Prayers as One of Thelr Countrymen Passes Away. Surrounded by a dozen of his countrymen, amid their weird cantation and prayers, Joe Lee, Chinaman, died at 3 yesterday morning in his room at 117 North Twelfth street, after a long {llness of rheumatism. Joe's condition became critical Monday night and as it became known many of his countrymen closed their places of business, hastened to his bedside and remafned until While a physiclan worked over the sick man other Chinamen, who knew nothing of Joe's condition, were asleep In bunks in various parts of the room. These were awakened by the lamentations of the watchers over the death of Joe, and when the undertaker arrived all were in the ut- most confusion. The dead man was lald out on the floor and those of his country- men who had not been at his bedside when the end came were berating themselves and praying to the great spirit to forgive them. The body was removed to the undertaking rooms of Brailey & Dorrance and all morn- ing Chinamen have been passing In and out to view the remalns. Joe's place of busi- ness has been locked and in front of the door sits a silent watcher to see that none enter. ‘While it 1s sald that Joe was a member of a protestant church, the China- men are making arrangements to have & funeral according to their own belief. This will occur at the undertaking rooms at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Joe Lee was 45 years of age and for thirty years has been in the United States. He was well known and was highly respected by his countrymen. For a number of years he has been running a cigar store gt 117 North Twelfth street and is said to have amassed considerable money. He has a wife and one child in China and has made trequent trips to his native land. ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT, and New York Travel, On and after June 15th, the Erie Rafl- Chicago, Boston police had né foundation in fact and was a gross injustice to us.” A large contingent of Chlef Donahue's blue coats assembled at the police station at 2 yesterday afternoon in compliance with an order, and after brief communica- tion with Captain Iler, left for their re- #pective beats. Among the policemen present were some of the,oldest and most prominent on the force. Asked if he had ordered the men to as- semble to recelve Instructions to guard pgainst violence by the strikers, Chief Dona- Bue declared he had not. Wosition of Engineers and Firemen. | The strike situation proceeds slowly and imuletly. All the men interested are main- road will still further improve their Bos- ton and New York service by offering to the public a handsome limited train to leave Chicago from Dearborn Station every day at 10:30 a. m., arriving In New York next afternoon at 3:30 and Boston at 9 o'clock, There is no doubt that this service will be highly patromized, as this new train will land the traveler in New York City fn ample time Yo permit him to proceed leisurely to his hotel or home, rest, dre: dine and spend the evening in whatever manner may appeal to him most. This every-day morning train will con- sist of standard Pullman drawing-room and sleeping cars. All meals enroute served by the famous Erie dining cars. No extra ining strictest secrecy of any plans they y~ have. The engineers and firemen, hose meeting Monday night aroused some muspicion of their intention to bolt the Woion Pacific’s operations by refusing to #ake out engines not repaired by union {bollermakers, are still at work dnd, accord- 4Dg to Master Mechanic Barnum, tiers is Jno disposition on their part to strike. ? As a matter of fact, the engineers and en would be acting prematurely to de- de to strike at this stage of the proceed- , for they have had no occasion as yet run engines that are repaired by non- lunlon bollermakers, since there is but one lsuch individual in the employ of the com- ny and it would be impossible for this fone workman to repair the engines that Mre now in service. The truth is, as has ibeen stated, the company fortunately had |enough engines in good repair to meet its \needs for a limited perfod when the union botlermakers went out and this period has not yet expired. No engineer or fireman can be found who il accredit the alleged intention of either {union to strike, yet there is reason to be- leve that both these brotherhoods may co- joperate with the bollermakers and ma- chinists, should the strike reach a stage whero full co-operation was demanded. | Expect an Early Settlement. \ According to the opinion of prominent bollermakers themselves, this stage will ever be reached. It is thelr bellet that tho strike will be ended and all questions ‘settled within a week. ‘They are still \convinced, however, that this settlement Wil be made rable to thelr demands and that all their number will be restored fo work. The bollermakers resolutely at- frm that they will never submit to the partial reinstatement of their union; all Ahe men, old and young, must be taken Back or none at all. “If the rallroad can |®et along without part of our number, it oan do so without any,” was the way one ollermaker expresded it. The local bollermakers received word terday from Armetrong, where it is d that some of the members of thelr Efll bad returned to work, that all are out, and they assert that this s the case er the entire system, with the exception the lone non-union bollermaker at work The company claime to have all the bollermakers necessary for present de- nds { 'The machinists are not yet ready to de- ars & strike order and those of their num- who were not let out by the retrench- Jment order Saturday night are still at work. 3 Oficials in Consultation. g ,m:m- of the operating and motive ywer departments of the Union Pacific held fare charged on this train.

Barnabas. BISHOP WILLIAMS COMPLIMENTS PRIEST Points Out Three Characteristics Which Have Marked the Ministry ©of Rector of St. Barnabas ~Reception at Night. The parishioners and friends of Rev. John Willlams assisted yeeterday in the cele- bration of his twenty-fitth anniversary as rector of St. Barnabas Epiecopal church, Nineteenth and California streets. He has received many substantial testimonials of the estcem in which he is held by the people of Omaha. Seven hundred dollars in cash was sent to him yesterday by friends who are not members of his parish and the total contributions amount to $1,200, a large part of which will be used toward liquidat- ing the debt on St. Barnabas church. Among the gifts were elght large boxes of cut flowers. There was a reception at the parsonage last night and Sunday morning Rev. Wil- llams will preach an anniversary sermon. Many friends of the rector and family, irre- spective of church afliations, were present at the reception. Bishop's Tribute to Rector. Yesterday Coadjutor Bishop Willlame officiated at holy communion service at St Barnabas and prior to the service the bishop delivered a brief address to the people, in which he felicitated them upon the long and harmonlous pastorate of their rector, “There are three characteristics which have marked the ministry of the rector of St. Barnabas,” sald the bishop. “First, bis unflinching courage in declaring the truth as a priest of God, without for a moment considering either its popularity in the eyes of the world or its effect upon himself. Secondly, he has realized that the saving of souls does not consist of a fine church, a great parish house or in fussy humanitarism, but in personal minis- trations to sin-sick souls as a representative of our Blessed Lord. Lastly, he has ex- emplified in his long rectorship of twenty- five years the church's intention that the pastoral relation and the life of the priest should be co-extensive, that what God hi Jolned together let no man put asunder.” John Willlams' Career. John Willlams was born in County Kerry, Ireland, in 1835, and came to this country when a young man, locating In Minnesota. He was educated at Fairbault, Seabury Hall, and shortly after finishing the course there was called to Hastings, Minn., to offi- clate s a deacon in the church at that place. A few months later, in 1868, he was ordained a priest by Bishop Whipple of Minnesota, and at once took up the rector- ship of the Hastings church, continuing in this capacity for ten years. It was during this time that he received the call to St. Barnabas. At first Rev. Willlams was re- luctant to accept, deeming it his duty to remain at Hastings, but two years later, the summons having been insieted upon mean- while, he came to Omaba, and twenty-five years ago entered upon his present pastor- ate. The parish was then 8 years old, Father Betts having been the first priest. During all this time Rev. Willlams has not ralsed a cent for the maintenance of his church through the medium of fairs, so- clables or any sort of entertainment, as he was opposed to this method of defraying church expenses, and has recelved only vol- untary contribution STUDY INSTEAD OF PLAY Many Public School Pupils Are Not Taking Their Regular Vacation. Records in the office of Secretary Burgess of the Board of Education indicate that many puplls of the Omaha schools are not taking advantage of the summer vacation, but are putting in their leisure time study. ing either at their homes or in summer schools. Three hundred and seventy text books have been loaned out since the vaca- tion began. Of these about one-third are High school books and the remainder are from the grade schools. The pupil is re- quired to deposit the price of the book as a forfeit and when the book is returned, if it is in good shape, the money is refunded. Yellowstone National Purk. This famous national park offers to the tourist and sightseer more novelties and curiosities than perhaps any other spot on earth.

The new route to the Yellowstone is via the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line rallroads to Monida, Mont., thence dally by palatial Concord coaches of the Monida & Yellowstone Stage company to all points in the Yellowstone National park.

Representatives of the banks of Omaha and South Omaha were before the County Board of Equalization yesterday to doa little dexterous pounding on the wholesale houses. The gist of their complaint is that they are paying taxes on one-sixth the falr value of their personal property, while the wholesale houses are paying on about one- tenth the falr value of theirs. Bankers Yates, Davis, Drake and others appeared, with the attorneys of their es- tablishments, has yet had, the result being nothing more tangible than & promise to duly consider the matter later. One of the commisstoners said later to a repeesentative of The Bee that the desire of the bankers seemed to be to have their assessments lowered to a level with that of the wholesalers, but that if the board acted at all in the matter ft would ralse the wholesalers rather than lower the bankers. For several years the assessors have been leaving the assessing of the banks' personal property to the board—a custom which is sald to have been inaugurated at the re- quest of the bankers. The latter send the board statements of their holdings and the board bases the assessments on these. Generally the form of theso statements is similar to that filed this year by the Omaha National bank, which begins by relating that the statement is filed to help the board “arrive at the value to be assessed against the capital stock of sald bank, and which concludes with this table: Capital stock Surplus . . Undivided ‘profits 14,523.38 “ Less expenses (80404, $109.82, $308.19).. . 602.95— 14,220.33 $1,114,220.33 % $1,000,000.00 One-sixth ..... . Less value of real es- tate in Douglas count; as per at- tached list. The statement is to apply to the condi- tions of April 1 and is attested April 21 by C. F. McGrew as vice president. JURY HAS THE ROWLEY CASE Judge Gives Instructions to Consider Only the Charge of Forgery. The case of the state agalnst Martin Row- ley, former timekeeper at Armour’'s in and there wae an hour of | about as earnest conversation as the board | 100,000.00 | Real Estate Committes Will First Attack Five Franchise Companies. INTENDS TO WASTE NO TIME WITH THEM Conference Between Committeemen and Gener anager of Stock Yards Signifies Another Big Increase. The tax committee of the Real Estate ex- change has its ammunition accumulated and will begin immediately the attack on the county assessment of the five franchised corporations of Omaha, the complaints to be filed with the Board of Equalization today. F. D. Wead, chairman of the committes, sald yesterday morning: “We shall waste no time with them in this instance. They know we are fighting for only what is right and it is outrageous that they should seek to put straws in the way of plain justice after they were given such a clear demonstration in the instance of [ the city assessment. If we get them assessed by the county in proportion to their assessment by the city we shall be very well pleased, particularly in view of the fact that in pleading before the council some of them sought immunity for large holdings that they alleged were properly for county as- sessment. We kept such things in mind and are prepared to use them now. As an Instance to the point, the water company then sald that its basin at Florence cost $2,600,000, and yet in the returns of the Florence assessor we haven’t noticed any figure that seemed to include one-sixth of such a valuation. Corporations Not Alone. “The franchised corporations are not the only ones to whom we are giving attention. Our committee has been as active as possi- ble and we will be heard from T will say this much, however. that we find that the ordinary stores, euch as are found along Douglas and Farnam streets, are assessed well up—in fact, nearly on a level with real estate.” From the fact that the tax committee was In session at the Commercial club late Monday afternoon and gave audience to W. J. C. Kenyon, general manager of the stock yards company, and his attorney, it is in- ferred that that corporation is on the griddle just now. It was assessed at $16,- 500, yet it has {ssued $5,760,000 of its $6,000,- South Omaha, went to the jury at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The jury has only to decide if Rowley s gullty of forgery, as the judge took the case from it so far as the second count, that of passing the check, was concerned. The attorney for the defense used this as a lever in argument to the jury, declaring that between the evidence in this count, which had been considered insufficient, and the evidence in the first count there was only the difference of Charles Saylor's statement that the endorsement on the check shown in court was Rowley's, and Saylor had not qualified as an expert on hapdwriting. The attorney inststed, also, | that Rowley's reported admissions of guilt | be not considered, because it is necessary | that the fact of crime having been com- mitted must be proved first, and this had not, counsel sald, been done. 000 capital stock and the deduction for real estate could not possibly bring the figure down to $16,600. The situation seems to be that the tax committee has determined to strike for an assessment that makes Mr. Kenyon gasp for breath, and he acks a little time for contemplation. Remark Signifies Big Boost. ‘What the figure s the committee does not give out at this time, but a hint of its pro- portion wad suggested by one of the com- mittee members, who remarked that “‘when a man discovers that it ts proposed to boost the assessment of the property he rep- resents to ten or twelve times the return of the assessor he naturally has to have a day or two to compose himself before he is ready to talk of the matter with the boosters.” For a few days there has been a pro- nounced silence concerning the packers of NARROW ESCAPE FROM GAS J. A. Gllbert is Nearly Asphyxiated at the City Dog Pound, 3. A. Gilbert, chief dog catcher to Im- pounder John Laughland, narrowly escaped asphyxiation with a number of untagged dogs Tuesday and is still suffering from the effects. It happened in the gas cham- ber of the new Renaissant dog pound at Sixth and Webster streets. Fourteen dogs were in the chamber. The charcoal gas was in process of geperation. One of the large dogs seemed Intent upon celebrating his last hour by rending two or three of the smaller ones and Mr. Gilbert entered the big oven In the interest of peace. It took longer to accomplish his purpose than he thought and he miscalculated the speed with which the gas was filling the chamber. “He was limp as & rag when he came out,” sald Mr. Laughland, “and I had to walk him up and down for some time to keep bim awake. POLICE REPORTER TOUCHED Wise-to-the-World Man Has Oppor- tunity to Write Exclusive Story. H. B. Newbranch, who for several years has “done police” on a local paper, and In that time has written scores of stories about the verdant husbandman coming to town and buying a gold brick, or losing his money on the “shell” or “‘dead brother" games, telegraphed his paper yesterday from Grand Island, where he bad been sent to report the fusion conventions, as follows: Bend me transportation and money to get back home, ave been touched on the rain. H. E. N. It is understood from & reliable source that Mr. Newbranch “‘went against the padlock racket.” A detalled account of how it happened and an emphatic denlal that delegates to the convention had any- thing to do with it, may be expected from his faclle pen in due time. CONFISCATING SI.OT MACHINES Police Officers Act on Instructions to Bring in Gambling Devices. Yesterday afterncon members of the police force began a rald on the proprietors of money-paying slot machines. A dozen offi- cers were sent out with instructions to con- fiscate every money-paylog machine they could find. Chief Donahue received a report yesterday that during the last few days many machines had been shipped into the city and. that boys and girls had been in the habit of playlng them. It was for this reason that the rald le belng made, and it is the intention of ' the police to confiscate every such machine in the city. s, commercial agent of the nsas City.

Amount of Dividend Expected by Creditors of Continnental Clothing Company. There will be a meeting of the creditors of the Continental Clothing company July 1 at the office of Charles E. Clapp in the Bee bullding for the purpose of electing a trustee for the property of the bankrupt concern. The temporary receiver appointed by the United States district court has disposed of the stock and fixtures and has collected a large part of the outstanding accounts, 80 that all there remains for the trustee to do is to declare a dividend. Around this dividend there hangs considerable mystery, as the amount of casi which will be on band is unknown and there is no certainty as to the amount of claims which will be proved according to the United States bankruptey law, This uncertainty is due to the fact that under the law every creditor who desires to participate in the distribution of the assets of the company will have to return to the trustee all money paid him on account by the bankrupt within four months of the time the bankruptcy was declared. The ac- counts of the Continental Clothing com- pany show that within the last four months a considerable number of the creditors had recelved some money on account, In many instances the amount recelved would be practically as much as would come to them from the distribution, and it is belleved that a number will not prove their ac- counts, preferring to keep what they have received rather than to go to the expense and trouble of maklipg proof. It is ex- pected that the funds realized will permit & dividend of 50 cents on the dollar. Toeo Great a Misk. In slmost every neighborhood someons has died from an attack of colic or cholera morbus, often befo medicine coulf e procured or a physi summoned. A re- llable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain’s Colle, Cholera and Diarrhoes Remedy has un- doubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine in use. It can always be depended upon. HOLDS CARRIER FOR LOSS Wyatt Johnson Wants Road to Settle for Los Some Freight. ‘Wyatt Johnson says he has a $500 griev- ance against the Burlington rallroad and he has petitioned the county court to let him tell about it and get a judgment for the amount named. Wyatt says he entrusted $300 worth of his earthly assets to the Burlington for transportation to St. Joseph, which is a town in Missouri, but that the Burlington fatled to deliver the goods, notwithstanding he was able and cheerfully willing to pay the freight. He filles a schedule of the contents of the boxes shipped and the as- sortment i{s somewhat diversified, including a cashmere dress and some teaspoons, fifty minister's certificates and a rubber stencil, one church charter, twenty duplicate church charters and one crazy quilt. ‘B G BoHEMIAN *King of all Bottled Beers."
