A rumble of Impending trouble with or
ganized labor was heard at the meeting ot
the executive committee yesterday after
noon , 'When a formal notice was received
from the officers of the ( Building Trades
council announcing that at the last meeting
of the council a resolution was adopted de
claring that the exposition management had
violated the agreement with organized labor
by employing laborers to do carpenter work
and paying electrical workers less than the
union scale. The exposition officials were
notified that unless action was taken within
forty-eight hours to right these alleged
grievances the iBulldlng Trades council
would take action under Its rules.
This matter was referred to a special
committee , consisting of Managers Klrkcn-
dall and Rosewater and President Wattles ,
to confer with the committee of the .Build
ing Trades council and report upon the situa
tion and the remedy which should be adopted.
The grievance of the iBulldlng Trades
council Is understood to bo that laborers are
employed by the electrical construction
bureau to make rough uoard boxes to bo
used for underground conduits for electric
wires. It 'being ' claimed that this work
Should bo done by carpenters at the regular
scale. Another alleged cause for complaint
Is that Superintendent Rustln of the elec
trical bureau Is employing men to do elec
trical work and compelling them to work
ten hours for $2.50 per day , whereas It Is
claimed that the union scale calls for eight
hours' work at 30 cents per hour.
Certain of the exposition officials say , con
cerning tbo last named grievance , that at
the time , when the exposition decided to pay
the union scale of wages the schedule sub
mitted by the representatives of organized
labor did not contain any mention ot elec
trical workers , and It Is claimed that the
Electrical Workers' union was not In exis
tence at that time. It is further stated by
these same officials that Inquiry among the
electric construction companies reveals that
$2.50 per day Is more than waa paid by them
for labor at the time the exposition direc
tory fixed the scale of wages.
In addition to considering this matter the
executive committee was presented with a
request from the Woman's Board of Mana
gers , asking to bo given the control of the
main ccurt for two hours on a date to bo
afterward fixed , the women desiring to work
up a great celebration In honor ot the Inau-
sura'.lon of work on the Girls' and Boys'
building. They proposed to have a short
program of exercises. In honor of the occasion ,
consisting of speeches by two or three well
known men and speaking by three young
people , one to bo chosen by the schools of
Omaip. another by the schools of South
Omaha and the third by the schools ot Lin
coln. The program Included a grand march
about the grand court behind a brass band ,
with Ilizh scboal cadets as marshals to ECO
that the youngsters kept In line. The women
proposed to turn a neat little sum of money
Into the building fund by charging each
child 10 cents for a vote for the speakers ,
the 10 cents to pay for a ticket to the
Grounds. The Rates were also to be turned
over to the women , according to the proposi
tion , and In this way a considerable sum was
expected to be realized.
The executive committee thought the cle
ment of danger In this scheme was too. great
to consent to It. however , and the request
of the women was denied.
Plans were ordered drawn for the Trans
portation warehouse and work on them will
bo pushed and the building erected at once.
The structure will be 60x100 feet and will
stand on the north tract cat of the Trans
portation building.

Congressman D. II. Mercer has written to
President Wattles regarding securing from
the War department the tents necessary for
the military encampment which Is to be
maintained In connection with the exposi
tion. It Is proposed to equip the camp
grounds with tents and various other neces
saries and an effort Is being made to Induce
the War department to loan the exposition
the necessary tents for the occasion. Mr.
Mercer writes that the matter can probably
be arrange ! He says Assistant Secretary of
War 'Melklcjohn has taken hold of the matter
and the prospect for securing the tenta IB
promising.
Mr. Mercer also writes concerning the
projected special trains from Washington to
Omaha for bringing to the exposition on the
opening day the Washington correspondent *
of the great metropolitan newspapers and
the members of both houses of congress.
The congressman says that E. C. Gnyder , the
Washington correspondent of The 'Bee ' , has
been commissioned by the Department of
Publicity and Promotion to take up the
eastern end of the negotiations with the rail
roads and has the matter well In hand. Mr.
Mercer says he Is lending the movement
all the assistance In his power and
believes ll Is the best move that could possi
bly bo made. Ho sayn that Washlngtcu Is the
tcmpsrary homo of the brightest and brainiest
newspaper men lu the world , and they are
cuihustaitlc over the Idea of making such a
trip to Omaha under such circumstances , and
have made many Inquiries regarding the mat
ter. Mr. Mercer declares that such a move
would be Uie beet advertisement Kiat the ex
position could possibly secure , and he urge *
that nothing bo left undone to carry It to a
successful Ifiiue.
Assistant Secretary of War Mclklejohn
urged this same matter upco the exposition
officials when ho wai In Omaha and empha
sized very strongly the great advantage thti
exposition would derive from the widespread
advcrtUemrnt given the opening ot the great
show In all the big papers of the country.

sequently no charge can be made for space

torlcal society cad the owner pf the
extensive collection of Indian curies gathered
by the lats General Crook have been given
soaco In the building In which to exhibit
the rare End curious articles comprising

Tim Kansas commlflon at the Omaha ex

The governor baa said all along tbit ho
would appoint a commission a.s scon as ho
had assurances that a sufficient amount of
money would be forthcoming to enable the
state -to participate In u creditable man
ner. After considerable agitation of the
subject three Kansas rallroacU agreed to
contribute $3,000 each , making $15,000 , pro
vided the citizens of Kanoas would raise
a like amount. Governor Lcedy refused
to not , however , urftll ilo knew that the
money would "bo' .forthcoming from both
sides and his pertlr.uclty In this respect has
"prevented the appointment of a commis
sion. It Is presumed 'that the money has
been raised or 'thAt the governor has posi
tive evidence that 'It will bo forthcoming
at the proper timeor , ne would not have

President Wattles received a telegram
from Senator Puspy 4of Council Bluffs , a
member of the upper house of the Iowa leg
islature , announcing" that the senate had
pissed the exposition bill appropriating $20-
00 } additional for Iowa's participation In the
exposition. i '
This will necessitate returning the bill to
the house for concurrence , that body having
passed the bill with an appropriation of $30-
000. The friends of the measure hope to
have U'P amount Increased to $25,000 before
the lilt finally becomes a law ,
Iowa has already appropriated $10,000 for
participation In the exposition , the last leg
islature having made a preliminary appro
priation of thU amount. The Iowa Exposi
tion commission appealed to the legislature
at the beginning of the session to make an
appropriation of $47,400 in order to enable
the commission to erect a suitable building
on the exposition grounds and make a cred
itable showing.

The St. Louis Republic says there Is a
move among the members ot the Missouri

the state to have the encampment ot the
Second regiment held at Omaha and to In

state to join lu this movement. All plans for
holding the annual encampment at St. Joseph
have been abandoned and the project to
camp it Omaha during the exposition Is
meeting with strong favor.

A bill appropriating $3,400 for state partici

Maryland legislature. The Baltimore Ameri
can says that It state participation Is de-

appropriated. This Is the balance that was
left from the appropriation made for tl'.u
World's fair , and the American suggests
that rover a 1 times this amount should beset
set aside In order that the etato may bo

GAMBLING CASE ON TRIAL
Gerter and Hfffoer Charged with Main
taining Gaming Implements.
STATE INTRODUCES MUCH TESTIMONY
i : tnl > ] Uiox the Anture of the Stun
Captured In the Itnltl mill Un
dertaken to Trove Who
OUIIM It.
Police Judge Gordon Is now occupied with
the preliminary hearing of the cases against
Henry Oerter and James Heffaer , who aio
charged In elate complaints with setting up
and maintaining gambling devices and run
ning a gambling hou-ae at 1409 Douglas
street. Chief of Detectives Cox ki the complaining -
plaining witness in tlieso CORES. It was un
der his direction that the paraphernalia In
the room over Oerter's saloon was confis
cated. The case waij begun yesterday morn
ing and occupied the day without being com
pleted ; In fact the state's evidence will not
bo clcsed until sometime this morolas.
Chief Cox testified that ho served both
Oerter and Hcffner with warrants ani that
when the raid was made on the place the
gaming apparatus was not In use. Other
witnesses testified to the fact that gamblni ! ;
had been conducted at Oerter's place re
cently. During the afternoon It wao shown ,
that money and chips had paeaed while the
games were In operation between playcm
and the dealers at the various games , and
that the devices In the shape ot tables , which
were Introduced In evidence , were gambling
apparatus.
Captain Haze was among the witnesses
for the prosecution. Ho was placed en tuo
ntand In the afternoon and tjMtined that
after the raid In which the Oerttc establ'nh-
mcnt wea broken up the defendants called
at hla o 111 co and took rn Inventory of the
goods that had been confiscated. On this
occasion Oerter remarked to witness that ho
did not see the use of taking the gamin : ;
apparatus out cf ills place , because on a
prior occasion the court. ) had decided that
these same implements were not gambling
devices , because It had been clearly ehovui
that to play the games of stud poker , faro
and roulette skill and Judgment were neces
sary to compete.
HAZE AS AN EXPERT.
This was followed by cross-examination , In
which Attorney Dunn , for the defendants ,
tried to show by that particular feature of
witness' testimony that the paraphernalia In
question was for the use of games of skill
and judgment , which the higher courts have
held are not games of chance. But the wit
ness was not willing to concede this point.
He alllrmed positively that regardless of
Iczal rulings faro , stud poker and roulctto
were games of chance. Ho concpcleJ the
point that the experienced player of stud
pr or hcd the advantage ever a "green"
player , because ho could bring Into play lih
judgment of the worth ot the hands ho held ,
yet , withal , It waa a game of chance. Along
theao lines ho described the three ganuu
under consideration and wound up llnal'y by
declaring that the apparatus In evidence luil
been designed and u ed for gambling pur-
posci.
\Vlth reference to the ownership of Oerter't
place , two witnesses , employes of tha New
Omaha Thcmson-Houston Klectrlc Llsht
corrrany. testified that under the direction
of Oerter they had wired the room In which
the gambling apparatus was located. They
had seen Heffnor In the company of Oertor
while the latter was looking after the work.
I. . E. O.rior , who renldes at the corner ot
2'xteenth ' and Howard streets , when called
as n witness for the state , said that ho via-
Ited the gambling roam on two different oc
casions with a friend and watched the
prosrcEo of the games for a half hour.
Houlette , stud poker and faro were In opera
tion wh'lo ' ho was In the house and. he oaw
money change several times between players
and the dealers.
