Aa one strike leader put It: “Wednesday the three policemen who | have been on duty at the shop gates were taken oft because they had become acquainted with the men and were too lenient. In their places came six new policemen, two at each gate. This action was taken at a time when there was absolutely no call for it. Everything was and has been quiet down there, and those men are not necessary there for any rea- sons of protection of person and property. “This action is just a direct slap at us from President Burt and it shows that he | 18 still actively on the agzressive.

Such an event will do.much to awaken the gemeral public to the merits of the case.”, Chief of Police Donahue says that the force of policemen at the shop grounds has not been doubled. He says that there Is still on duty but one officer at each gate, as formerly. WANT T0 JOIN OLD STRIKERS Locomotive Wood Workers and Pipe- men Desire to Get Into Com- mon Movement. Locomotive wood workers and pipemen who struck at the Union Pacific shops last Monday because they were ordered to work on the premium scale system wish to be- come activgly identified with the machin- ists, blacksmiths and boller makers who have been out on strike for the same rea. son during the last seven months. Yesterday both the wood workers and pipemen met and appointed committees to confer with the other strikers and ask for representation on their joint executive com- mittee. Both meetings were held at O'Nelll's hall, Sixteenth and Cuming streets. This action makes it apparent that these latest recruits to the striking forces mean business as much as any of their predeces- vors. This is a surprise to some of the machinists and boiler makers, who thought and said openly at first that the wood work- ers and pipemen would go back shortly. MAY JOIN PLUMBERS’ UNION Ftriking U Pacifie Pipemen Likely to Be Accepted in Organization, Official organization of the Unlon Pacific striking pipemen under the American TFederation of Labor, set for yesterday, has been postponed for a few days. This | is because there now seems some chance that the pipemen will be received into the Jocal plumbers’ union, and the delay le to awalt a definite answer from that or- ganization. . Plumbers have always, heretofore, re- fused to let their fellow craftsmen at the shops join the union, beczuse of the dis- crepancy In wages. The plumber sbout town gets from 40 to 50 cents an hour, ‘while those at the shops get only 30 cent: Yot the shopman plumber makes as much or more money than his city col- league, for he works all the year around all day long, while the other has odd jobs, losing hours and sometimes days between. TAKES PENNSYLVANIAN'S CASH Girl Meets Stranger at Beer Garden George Doubert of Reading, Pa., came to Omaha Wednesday and that night started in to see the city by gas light. At a beer garden. he made the acquaintance of a well dressed young woman who sald her first name was “Mabel.” Cheering cups were delivered and drank with alacrity, after which the friend escorted him to the Ox- ford hotel. When Doubert awoke yesterday morning he discovered that his companion had disappeared with $260 which he had secreted in an inside pocket. He sought solace from Captain Haze when he reported the theft yesterday morning and is still making the police station his headquarters while awalting the return of the girl.

Head of Bankrupt Oompany on Witness Stand Befere Referee. GIVES NAMES OF THE SHAREHOLDERS of the Relations of the Build- & to the Mercantile Comp: and How Estimates onm Cont Faile W. R. Bennett has been examined by the creditors of the bankrupt company betore Referee Clapp In federal court. He wa placed on the stand for the purpose of im- parting information regarding the manner of conducting his business, of keeping the books and the relations of the Bennett company to the W. R. Bennett company. The examination was conducted by W. W. Morsman. The situation was at ail times a severe strain on the witness, reaching a critical point shortly before the noon adjournment during a recital of the history of his failure. All the misery of the last two months and the bitterness of his defeat rose in him and choked his voice. The court room became abeolutely still execpt for the voice of the speaker and those present gazed at the pa- pers on which they were making notes or out of the windows. Mr. Bennett explained how one friend, whose name he could not give, had been unable to furnish the financial support he had promised and that the total cost of building and stock had risen $100,000 above what they had expected. “Some Irons Were Burned.” “I have had all sisters and no brothers to help me in this enterprise,” he said. “They have done all they could, but there was much they could not do. For instance, there is an art in the marking of goods, which should be attended to by one of the firm. be scen to. It was impossible for me to cover all of the ground. And so,” he finished, with some difficulty, “some of the irons in the fire were burned.” The examination brought out the holders of the Bennett Building company stock as tollows: W. R. Bennett, 2,893 shares; 8. F. Bennett, 2,000; F. W. Brown, 160; Irving Allison, These shares had never been pald for and there s mow an agreement between W. R. Bennett and J. E. Baum whereby the latter will possess them in case he and his associates can secure the composition of & company to manage the Bennett store. They are held now in escrow by G. W. Rainey. “Mr. Baum,” sald Mr. Bennett, “is the only ome who has shown any disposition to befriend the Bennetts In the reorganization of a com- pany and fix matters so tnat we might be given positions from which we could look forward to some time being on our feet again.”’ The shareholders of the W. R. Bennett company were given as follows: W. R. Bennett, 378 shares; S. F. Bennett, 51 shares; Cornelia E. Bennett, 40 shares; Mrs. Wade, 40 shares, and Mrs. Brown, 40 shares. One hundred and thirty-nine share: are still in the name of Mr. Bennett's mother, who is now dead. According to the memoranda carried by W. R. Bennett the lot on which the Bennett bullding stands cost $150,000 and the barn hullding cost $10,000. The testimony of W. R. Bennett wa continued yesterday afternoon, when a number of minor polnts were brought out. This ended the session of the creditors. The various departments owned by indi- viduals in the Bennett store will open to- morrow tor business. They will be con- ducted on the first floor. The question of opening the remainder of the store is in the hands of Judge Munger for decision. MILLER TAKES THE MILLARD Concludes Deal with the Sorg Helrs and Will Assume Control in Y. It has been conclusively settled that Rome Miller will on February 1 add to his hotel Interests in this city by assuming the proprietorship of the Millard hotel. He is now proprietor of the Iler Grand and is ex- tensively interested in the Paxton. The transaction whereby Mr. Miller will become lessee of the Millard hotel has now been entirely completed and will become effec- tive February 1, at the expiration of the present lease with J. E. Markel & Son. The Millard hotel property is owned by the helrs of P. J. Sorg and Mr. Miller's ne gotlations have been carried on through Paul A. Sorg as the representative of the estate. These negotlations were begun at the time it was first announced that J. B. Markel had determined not to remew his lease of the premises and Mr. Miller held several conferences with Mr. Sorg at Chi- cago, but it was not until Wednesday night that the final documents were executed in Omaha. The beginning of Mr. Miller's tenancy of the hotel will be attended by fmprove- ments and repairs throughout the house, but this work will be conducted in such a manner that it will not netessitate the closing of the hotel at any time. Thes improvements, it 1s estimated, will cost from $15,000 to $20,000, and will embrace new decoration of the entire interior of the house, refitting the bathrooms through- out and a thorough overhauling of all the plumbing It 1s now intended that there shall be some consolidation in the operation of the Millard and ller Grand hotels when they come under the same management. For instance, only one laundry will be main- tained, and there will be one system for purchasing supplies and keeping the gen- eral accounts as far as s possible. The Millard hotel has, since it was bullt, eighteen years ago, been under the man- agement of J. E. Markel, with the ex- ception of two years. Mr. Miller's lease of the Millard hotel property ls for two years, with the op- tion of an extension of one year at the expiration of that time. He states that there will be no change for the present in the executive staff at the Millard, and Mr. Davenport will remain as chiof clerk.

He says the food commission is now sup ported by & system of permits and fees that not only hampers the works of the commission, but is not just to all partics, and advises an effort for a law that will include all food products used by man instead of the present law, which in- cludes only those which relate to ®airy, clder and vinegar products and adultera. tions or imitations of the same.
