THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27. MAY SETTLE LONG STRIKE Union Leaders Go to New York to Confer with Railroad Owners. PRESIDENT BURT IS CALLED BACK EAST It 1 Thought that Mr. Harriman Has Called Conference in New York with View to Adjusting the Trouble. An adjustment of the Unlon Pacific strike now seems more probable than at any stage since negotlations were opened between President Burt and President John McNeil of the International Brotherhood of Boller Makers and Iron Shipbuilders. Leaders of the strike are on thelr way to New York to meet in council with the heads of their respective organizations and the men who control the affairs of the railrond. This conference has been called by President E. H. Harriman of the Southern Pacific as a result of his conference with President Burt and it s looked to for a solution of the problem. President MeNell was jolned at Kansas City by Ed Kennedy and Dave O'Donnell of Omaha, presidents, respectively, of the local and district bofler makers' lodges and the boller makers' helpers, and proceeded to New York; Tom L. Wilson, for the machin- | ists, left for Washington to meet James O'Connell, president of the International Assoclation of Machinists, before proceed- ing to Naw York. President Burt, it is understood, has ro- turned to New York after having spent the last two or three days in Chicago, and will | participate in the conference. No positive information as to the president’s actual movements can be obtained from headquar- ters, but It was said there yesterday that he would not be in the city for several | days. He was to have returned yesterday and it is supposed changed his plans to con- form with those of Harriman, who evidently ealled tho later conference after Mr. Burt left New York. There was a report that Mr. Burt was in Omaha Wednesday, but this could not be verified. At his residence the statement was given out that he was mot expected home until Friday, Strikers Are Hopeful. FULL TEXT OF THE ROOT STORY Original of Tale that Was Twisted Absurd Fake About J. C. Root of This City. Into The full text of the dispatch which was distorted into the sensational story printed in a local paper, making J. C. Root, sov- erelgn commander of the Woodmen of the World, of this city the moving figure In a court scene at El Paso, when he was here in Omaha all the time, as published as a special to the St. Louls Republic, is as tollows: Fort Smith, Ark., 22.—Miss Agnes Frizzel, who 'has taken a leading part in the prosecution of A. C. Root on the charge of criminal slander, suddenly inter rupted the court proceedings this afternoon by firing a shot from a revolver, pre- sumably at the defendant. The 'bullet grazed the head of Colonel Briz- leading r the defense, Dec « zolara, 3 »ot fled from the court room quite pre- cipitately and asked to be locked up in jail for protection After a brief imprisonment his friends induced him to return to his home Shortly after the shooting Colonel Briz- zolara denounced the court for permitting such conduct in the court room. A few minutes later the colonel had a set-to with James Friz a_brother of the plalntiff in the sult, and they drew their revolvers in the court room, but bloodshed was averted by the prompt action of the chief of police, who was present and disarmed them both. The men left the bullding in opposite di- rections, but if they should meet on the street a killing might follow. Excltement 1s running high and no one can tell what | the night will bring forth. The trial of the slander case was called Nearly the whole of the day the hearing of evidence. the table with her | this morning | was taken up by Miss Frizzel sat at attorneys and actively engaged in _the prosecution of the case, not only suggest- ng important matters to her counsel, but | frequently engaging in the questioning’ her- 11, ¥hen all of the testimony was in this afternoon the court asked the attorneys how much time they desired in which to make their arguments. Miss Frizzel arose and replied that the plaintiff desired an hour and a half. Judge Bryant of the counsel for the defense remarked that he pitied the jury If that much time was to be consumed; that the defense desired only half an hour. Miss Frizzeil replled that a woman's char- acter was at etake and plenty of time ghould be allowed. Colonel Brizzolara, who had been watching Miss Frizzel, had gone into an ante room to warn Root of danger. As he came out he heard Miss Frizzel's statement and he loudly objected to any such remark In the presence of the jury. He had scarcely finished speaking when a shot rang out. PANDEMONIUM REIGNED. Btrikers now feel little doubt of a settle- | ment. They claim that the loaning of en- | gines to the Union Pacific by the Southern | Pacific complicated the situation in such a manner as to force a settlement or precipi- tate a general strike on the Southern Pa- cific, and this Mr. Harriman, it is said, s | determined to avold at all hazards. Furth- ermore, since his last trip over the system President Burt has made statements which clearly indicate that he has been deeply im- pressed with the necessity of a settlement. The president committed himself with less reserve thau ever after completing this tour of the road. He went to New York imbued with the demoralized conditions of the mo- tive power and the inability of the com- pany to improve conditions untll peace was restored between it and its old em- ployes. He admitted that the company's engines were gradually falling prey to the strike and that some action must be taken. 014 railroad shopmen estimate that it will take the Union Pacific many months to get its motive power back to normal shape aftér the strike is settled. Cold weather has aggravated the situation materially. WILL PUT UP FIRE ESCAPES Owners of Bulldings Will Comply with Recent Orders of In- mpector Carter. “In response to the notices sent out last ‘week I have received a number of replies assuring me that the fire escapes demanded will be ed upon the buildings of the writers just as soon as the construction companies can get to it,” said Bullding In- spector Carter. “The equipment for the Iler Grand hotel has been already ordered. The Merchants hotel has ordered a structural iron com- pany to go ahead with the work, and the Windsor hotel will do the same at once. The Paxton annex proprietors have signi- fled a willingness to meet all requirements of the law. The Bemis Omaha Bag com- pany has let the contract. “From the proprietors of some bulldings T have recelved no responses to my letters and shall begin proceedings the first of the yoar if they still fail to let me know what they intend to do. I realize that escapes cannot be put up before that date, but the contract can be let and the work started as well by these as by the others who have responded. They will all receive additional notices this week from Deputy State Labor Commissicner C. B. Watson.'

Colonel Brizzolara, seeing a revolver in the hands of Miss Frizzel, seized her arm and wrested the weapon from her before she could fire a second shot. _Instantsy they were surrounded by court officers who @eemed to think that the colonel was try- ing to kill her. After firing the shot Miss Frizzel became hysterical and completely collapsed. She was removed from the court room to her nome, where her condition is sald to be serious, When the smoke cleared away Colonel Brizzolara took occasion to denounce the court in the tollowing Illnl{hhf(‘. “This court through its vaclllating con- duct during this and the Westfall trials is responsible for this violation of all court decorum. 7his court can impose a fine upon me for contempt It it so desires. ‘When Judge Rowe recovered from his astonishment he repiled: “I am not responsible.’" “You are responsible and wholly respon- sible,” continued Colonel Brizzolara, “and 1 8o assert without any qualification’ what- ever. You may fine me for contempt if you want to.” ANOTHER STRUGGLE. Colonel Brizzolara, while talking to Chief of Police Fuller later on, was approached by James Frizzel, who made inquiry con- cerning the court incident and intimated that if Colonel Brizzolara sald anything concerning his sister he would be hel personally _responsible. Colonel Brizzolara drew a pistol, eaying that he had sald nothing about Friszel's sister, but was ready to be held account- able for anything. Frizzel also drew his un. Ehiet Fuller disarmed them both and they departed in opposite directions, he slander suit grew out of statements made by Root, who was then publishing a per here, reflecting on the character of Agnes Frizzel. s soun an Miss Frizzel fired, Root, find- ing himself unhurt, left the court room in haste and went to the county jail, where he asked to be locked up. Later he was driven to the home of Colonel Brizzolara, hig chief counsel Colonel Brizzolara refuses to leave the street and as James Frizzel is also without fear there may be trouble between the two if_they meet again.

COMES NEAR BEING MURDER Frank Stockwell Has Narrow Escape from Fatal Injury in Saloon Row. tenan The announcement by Dr. Rustin that he found it necessary to trepan the skull of Frank Stockwell of 1313 Capitol avenue and that the condition of the latter is serious glves a graver aspect to the row In which he was injured Wednesday night and it is understood to be the intention of the police immediately to apprehend and arrest the man who struck him. Stockwell staggered into the police sf tion Thursday afternoon and reported that in a fight in a saloon at Thirteenth and Dodge streets he had been hit with a cuspl- dor and asked to have the wound dressed. The surgeon did so and in making his ex- amination discovered a fracture of the or- bital arch of the right eye. It then seemed that the wound, which if an inch higher must have been fatal, was not particularly serious, but the later developments have caused Dr. Rustin to take a very different view. TALKS ABOUT FREIGHT RATES A t Gemeral Freight Agent Ex- plains S:-ne of the Pro tive Increases, George Morton, assistant general freight agent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy of Chicago, s in the city spending part of the holidays with his relatives. Mr. Mor- ton says that the first of the year will bring uo genmeral increase in freight rates on western roads, that the only advancements to be made by these roads will be on those commodities on which the rates were re- duced some months ago as a result of the cut made to compete for transportation on steel and structural iron for the Denver packing house. Rates on all these articles will be restored to thelr normal basis. ‘The Central Passenger assoclation decided some weeks ago to effect a general raise of 8 per cent In rates, but has since decided that this is not enough and now is holding @& meeting in Chicago to devise another boost if possible.

Le- ville has been arrested hy Sergeant Gibbons and Detectives Savage and Davis and will be held at police headquarters until the ar- rival of Canadfan officers, or until word s recelved concerning the disposition of the case. The charge registered against Le- ville s ““fugitive from justice.” From the meager facts which have been gleaned regarding Leville's case it fs claimed that he engaged in* a private mining enterprise with a Mr. Rosenthal. Thelr plans are sald to have miscarried and Leville was held accountable, it is claimed, for $700 which Rosenthal is alleged to have given to him to handle. A partial settle- ment is sald to have been made by Leville with Rosenthal when he is said to have suddenly left Montreal, coming to Omaha, where he has been residing with his wite at 1819 Pacific street. The authorities in the Canadlan city have been notified of the arrest and detention of Leville, who is well known in Omaha, and has, as far as {s known, always borne a good character.

REPORTS OF SEVERAL TRAINS TIED UP How President Burt's Was “Put in the Twelve Ho Own Special Hole” for for Lack Eight Union Pacific freight trains are re- ported tied up between Omaha and Valley. They have been there for two or three days and the chances are §ood for them being there two or three days longer. There are no engines to move them. It is sald that some of the cars contaln perishable goods and that therefore the loss will be large. Officials of the Unlon Pacific positively refuse to discuss any matters relating to their motive power, but it is Insisted by strikers that the situation has reached a point where something must be done. Fur- ther delay, they hold, is not only imprac- ticable, but almost impossibie, The elght trains between here and Valley are sald to be only a part of those tied up on the Unlon Pacific because there are no engines to move them. All this stagnation is attributed directly to the effect of the strike, which officlals of the company so persistently urged as late as a week ago was so trifling as to be unworthy of at- tention, When the head of the motive power de- partment stated about a week ago that his department was In extra good condition President Burt's speclal train was on a siding out west walting for an enmgine to come along and haul it a little further to- ward its destingtion. The engine which had been pulling the president’s traln had been detached to carry No. 102, the new exclusive fast mail train, west, which has orders for the right-of-way above every- thing else. Mr. Burt's special was “in the hole” for twelve hours. Decrease in Locomotives. “Although there was a decrease of 5.41 per cent in the total number of locomotives owned, it will be seen that there has been an increase in the capacity of 9.49 per cent, resulting from the greater capacity of the locomotives purchased to replace the lighter welght locomotives placed out of service.” This le-an extract of the annual report of the Unlon Pacific for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902. It goes to show that the company has reduced the number of its ‘en- gines, and this smaller number of engines, of even greater capecity, is therefore one explanation of the constantly diminishing potency of the motive power of the Unlon Pacific a8 & result of the depression wraught by this strike of six months. The waning of the engines has been more noticeable since the cold weather set in. “There ought to be a settlement soon," remarked a strike leader yesterday morn- Ing. “Certainly the company will not try to hold out against such conditions as these much longer. The seriousness of the situ- ation has never been overdrawn. Mr. Burt himself admitted that when he returned from his recent trip over the road and just before he left for New York City to con- sult with Mr. Harriman and others he urged one of our men not to go over the road again, adding that he had been there once too often already.” il Our Time Is lung disease.
