BALDWIN MAKES STATEMENT Tells Story of Transaeti Up to Arrest of President Burt. STRIKE - AFFAIRS ARE OUIET o Indication of Oonoessions frem the Osmpany or the Men. MPORTATION OF BREAKERS CONTINUES W. W, Richellen Charged with A 1t fon Employes, Discharged by Police Court Judge. Thomans Gregory, Unfon Pacific strike affairs have again re- Japsed into a quiet, dry routine in which there is no indication of concession from ther side. The importation of nonumion men for the shops is still kept up by the company and ‘this is taken as evidence that officials are not contemplating an early pettlement. The strikers are proceeding ‘With their plans for a whole winter's cam- Ppaign it necessary. While both tactions ap- parently are displaying a determined front, ly confident in the hope of victory, it merally believed that amicable terms ttlement would be heartily welcomed. Certain thicgs have tramspired during the last few days which tend to support this theory. Yet neither the ratiroad company mor the strikers manifest a disposition to take the first step in the direction of bring- g this strife to an end. The company brought into the city yes- terday a car of men from the east, about | thirty in all, and they were sent immedi- ately to the west, where they will be placed in the shops. The men were under the eharge of Unfon Pacific guards. None of this number was put to work in the Omaha shops. Repenters Among Breakern. John N. Baldwin, general attorney of the Unfon Pacific Rafiroad company, gives out the following prepared statement relative to the arrest of Mr. Burt: ““The arrest of Mr. Burt was nothing more or less than an act of maliclousness. There was not the slightest warrant for it, and the evidence in the case will show that it is absolutely foolish, without foundation, and made simply for the purpose of keep- ing the public agitated with reference to the strike dificulties. The charge that he |18 gullty of depriving these men of their | 1berties is preposterous and absurd. These men were never deprived of their liberties for one part of a second and President Burt Bad no more to do With the trans- action than the man in the moon. “The facls are: On Sunday morning, August 24, elghteen men arrived over the Tllinols Central for work In the Union Pacific shops at Omaha. They had been employed by a labor agency at Indlanapolis, Ind., which had mo comnection with the Union Pacific. Immediately upon their arrival the men were taken to the hotel on the shop grounds and given Lheir break- fast. After breakfast & majority of the men said they did not want to work in Omaha, but wanted to go to Denver. Four of the men concluded, to stay, so told the balance of the party, and these four men e now working for the company i the shops at Omaha. One man left the gror.ads tmmediately after breakfast, and has not been seen there since. Thirteen of the party at first concluded to leave the groun: on Sunday morning and go. out into the clty. After discussing the matter among themselves, and finding. that they had no money to pay for food and lodging, con- cluded, as they were given free food and lodging at the hotel on the shop grounds, to remain until Monday morning,. and then go up into the eity. “On_Monday morning, after golng out of the shop grounds, they went to the The last importation Into Omaha came ‘Wednesday, fifteen strong, and strikers con- tend that among this lot were a number of mon who had been here before. They as- sert that in several of the last shipments have been men from the east who were among the first imported by the Union Pa eific. They say that these men worked a i few days and then left the shops, returning to thefr homes. Différenit names are used in some cases, 50 as to decelve the agents 1o the eastern cities who employ the men. These fellows are sald to be professional “'strike breakers” and are after only enough work to give them a bare existence. It is urged by the strikers that in scarcely & single case are these men skilled mechanics. , Letters trom western Unlon Pacific towns 1 bring news that the company’s officials or A Yoremen are constantly offering inducements %o strikers ard others to go to work In the shops.

U CITY MUST VACATE SOME STREETS FIRST Council Expects Definite Proposition from Companies Interested in Via- duct and Promises to Take Prompt Action on It “It is up to the ecity councll now,” sald & prominent rallroad official yesterday when asked about the bullding of via- duct across the tracks. Recently a com- mittee of the Live Stock exchange waited upon Iresident Burt of the Union Pacific and ‘n answer to'inquiries Mr, Burt is re- ported Ly Captaln Parkhurst saying that both the Union Pacific and the Union Stock Yards company has appropriated funds for the wonstiuction of a first-class viaduct the tracks. The only condition 1s ing of certain concessions by the municipal authorities in regard to the vacation of certaln unused streets and al- leys, v'hiei are needed for trackage. In this connection members of the council assert that mo proposition has been filed by either the Union Pacific or the Stock Yards company for the vacation of the land deeired. “Until’ this is done,” said a city official last evening, ‘“‘no steps can he taken by the council to aid the viaduct proposition.” It 1s known that both the Unlon Pacific and the yards company desire more ground for trackage and recent surveys were made, presumably with a view to making a prop- osition to the city. What 1s wanted is the stub ends of streets in the northern part of the city and the vacation of a portion of Raliroad avenue, south of N street. The stub ends in the northern part are use- less, %0 it is stated, as the grade has never been established, nmeither has any petition for a grade ever been presented. As for the portion of Railroad avenue which 18 to be used by the railroads In case the viaduct s bulit, it has been decl by members of the council that it is prac- tically useless for trafic and can just as well be turned over to the railroads for trackage as not. It was asserted in.oficial circles yesterday that just as soon as a proposition was recelved from the com- panies interested that the matter would be taken up and given due consideration, the object being to hasten the comstruction of a viaduct as soon as possible. Ofectals Getting Anxious, Several’ months ago the eity council au- thorizéd the printing, In book form, of the city charter and the revised copy of the city ordinances. Several requests have been made by the authorities regarding the pub- lication of this book, but the printers do not seem to work. It was asserted at the city hall yestorday that unless the books were forthcoming at once the con- tract would be cancelled. One of the mem- bers of the council eaid that the chances wara gond for a changa of the charter he- fore the books were put, so that there was 1o use of golng to the expense of printing them. First the books were to be ready in June, then it was put off until July, and then came the statement that August 1 would see' the books delivered. Some steps will doubtless be taken by the counell Monday night to decide what to do about the contract. Murdoek Investigates. City Attorney Murdock ls investigatin the claim for damages filed by Dr. Kelly. In his notice Dr. Kelly claims pay trom the city for injury to one of his horses while driving along Thirty-sixth street. The horse is still under the care of a veteri- nary surgeon and it may be lald up for some time. Mr. Murdock is looking into the case thoroughly before making a report to the council on the claim filed. Dr. Kelly insists that it will cost him not les: than $200 to repair his buggy and pay for the loss of the services of the horse. This claim also includes the charges of the vet- erinary in chavge of the animal. At the time of the accident Dr. Kelly was answer- ing an urgent call and the defective condi- tion of the street, so it is alleged, caused the aceldent. Business Men W t Rellef. On account of recent accidents on the raflroad tracks in the railroad yards here the, packers have erceted fences which pre- vent employes from using the tracks for Swift & Company Soap & sldewalk as of old. Since the fencing in of the east side of the Cudahy and Omaha plants trafic from_that section has been diverted to Q street. This has caused a howl from N street business men. On lower N street especially {s the change noticed, the only remedy, it is asserted, is for the packers to open the gates to permit the men to walk down the tracks as for- merly. If this is done the fences might as well* not have been bullt, as they were erected for the purpose of preventing acel- dents by keeping people off the tracks. It was peported last night that the N street business men would make a formal re- quest of the packers to open the gates at certaln hours and not divert all of the trade to Q street. Teachers’ Meeting Saturday. As the publie schools of South Omaha will open on Tuesday, September 2, Prof. McLean has called a ting of the princl- pals for 2:30-0'clock at his office within the hour.

Burton the Fenture of Evening’s Program at Musical Festival. The appearance of Arthur M. Burton as soloiat sufficed to attract one of the lar- gest erowds of the engagement so far -to the musical festival last night. Fully 2,600 people were there to be charmed by Mr. Burton's baritome, which, though ex- tremely virile, is mellow and sweet. Its timbre-has that quality of sympathy which peculiarly fitted the ballad nature of the numbers chosen, and the soloist scored an oned triumph. His second num- T'll Sing Thee Songs of Araby,” was most successfully sung. The three songs on the program were not sufficient to sat- isty the audience, and as an encore Mr. Burton gave “Who Is Sylvia” with. ex- treme grace. Among the Instgumental numbers the grand selection from ‘‘Carmen’ vied with the “Reminlscences of Bcotland" for pop- ular favor. The latter comprised a med- ley of the beautiful old Scotch airs, such #s “Annle Laurle” and “Auld Lang Syne.” ‘The sole Wagner number on the program, however, was the artistic a of the evening. This was “Siegfried's Fu- neral March,” and its presentation was the most beautiful pleca, of interpretation shown in any of the many Wagnerian el forts made thus far by this band. The Italian handling of thé dolce paseages was especially charming. Today's program: MATINEE. I Two Step—Broadway .

Mr. Goss sald yesterday: “I may have been derelict in my duty in not having the call for the county conven- tion and the primaries published beforo this, but I have about made up my mind to; withhold its publication until after the meeting of the committee Saturday. It the call Is lssued befcre that committee meeting it may be necessary to make some amendments and it would be better to make but one call. We can see no of dolng the same work twice and can, therefore, see nothing to be gained by the meeting of the committee, but we have decided to ke on hand next_Saturday.” The unterrified democracy of the brand represented by the Jacksonlan club is pre- paring for its annual pionie, which is to be held at Courtland beach Saturday. T didates for governor and for congress will deliver addresses in the atternoon, but the principal attraction will be W. J. Bryan who will begin the series of political ad- dresses he is to make this fall. The demo- crats have nominated all qf thelr county and state oficers and the Jacksonian picnic will be considered as an informal opening of the campaign in Douglas county. It Is expected that in this campaign Mr. Bryan, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Hitchcoek will sound the key which the fusion forces are to play during the fall campaign, and there are several members of those allied forces who are anxiously awaiting the note for it is an open secret that upon the pel- foy to be pursued in the attcmpt to win votes there is more or less of friction be- tween the leaders.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MORE KNIGHTS Parade Committee to Meet with Fra- ternal Soclety Representatives to Make Arrangements for Daylight Show. The hustling comnfittee of the Kuights of Ak-Sar-Ben resumed operations, after having been on a vacation of two months. The committee now has in view the addi- tion of 250 names to the list of member- ship and $2,000 to the parade fund. This last amount is made necessary by the re- ception planned for President “Roosevelt and must be raised to make that reception a success, as the money previously faised has been appropriated to the ordinary ex- penses of the parade. There was a meeting last evening of the parade committee, with representa- tives of the fraternal societies of the eity for the purpose of taking up the question of the participation of these socleties In the daylight parade, to be held Wednesday, October 1. The committee finds that cer- tain tentative plans for that parade will have to be abandoned, as all of the mili- tary, organizations of the United Stat and of the state will be at Fort Riley at that time taking part In the army ma- neuvers. A plan is now being arranged which will present one of the finest eivil and Industrial parades ever seen in the west: There will be several humorous features. Three Extraor ry Days. In connection with the work of the hust- ling committeo on the parade fund the Board of Governors calls attention to the fact that the festival soclety is to give’not only two, but three extraordinary days this season, and that while an unprecedented orowd is expected to be here to see the president it will not detract from the size of the crowd which Will be here the fol- | lowing Thursds’, as those who come on the | first day will so advertise the electrical dis- play that more will come to the second Ppresentation, Monday night is governor’'s night at the den and Governor Savage, with his personal staff, and the Other state officers are ex- ! pected to be present. especial program will be arranged for the governor and his staft, and it is hoped that a large part of the 250 new members will pass the gates that night. There are but three more nights for work at the den, and in that time the prepara- tlons for manning the floats must be com- pleted and the teams uniformed and par- tially drilled. For this reason those Who expect to assist in this feature should make themselves known to Fred Metz as soon as possible.
