In the trl vatic den were the tribe of the

with their chiefs and talking men, who
gave the neck to the superior greatness of
the one king, Ak-Sar-Ifen IX, but who kept

HUSTON TELLS OF EEATTY INTERVIEW
Reataaraat Proprietor Says He Was
Told by Asjeat that Business Mea'a
Orgaaliatloa Was Foraaed to
Drive Oat t aloas.
The three Judges of th equity court
granted a temporary injunction against th
waiters In terms almost Identical with the
temporary restraining order issued earlier
In the month. The order was modified to a
certain extent, eliminating those parts of
the former ordT referring to interference
by force or violence with the employes of
tha restaurants the parts changed being
thos forbidden by positive legal enact
ments. Considerable discussion followed a sug
gestion of John O. Teiser to amend other
parts of the order, in which the attorney
desired to have the number who might
pass the house at one time definitely ststed
and to provide that they might inform other
persons that the houses are unfair, but use
no threats, intimidation or violence tending
to keep patrons from the house. The
changes were not made.
At the hearing the affidavits of William
Buthorn. proprietor of Schlits hotel, telling
of his refusal to sign the scale cf wages
and the walking out of the employes wos
submitted. Affiant said that members of
the union picketed the place and Interfered
with his business. The affidavits cf John
Dennis, John Halpln, Thomas Brown. John
Kelkenney snd Chris Lawlttsen were pre
sented, each telling of their experience in
the strike and of threats snd intimidation
used; thst In each case the business was
Injured and had improved since picketing
was stopped.
John O. Teiser then read affidavits of the
defendants.
What Bestty Told Ilaatoa.
Th affidavit cf W. H. Huston was to the
effect that h has been a resident of Omaha
for about ten years and thst during the
greater part of the tlm he has been the
mansger of a restaurant; that on or about
April 30 he was approached by Louis Beatty
and asked to Join the Hotel and Restau
rant Proprietors' association and the Busi
ness Men's association; that Beatty said the
unions had become too strong and would
have to be broken up and driven out of
business; that these associations were or
ganized for that purpose; that he asked
Beatty what means the members had
adopted to preserve the organizations, and
whether a cash forfeit would have to be
put tip as a guarantee of carrying out the
provisions of the agreement, and was in
formed that such was not the case; Beatty
called his sttenticn to the fact that no
person who had signed the scale of the Hod
Carriers' union could get material, and said
that no one of the restaurants whose pro
prietors recognised the union would be ablesi
to get a pound of anything to run his busl
neaa. There were three affidavits from Horatio
K. Hendee, who rwore that he had signed
the scale to employ union men and had
been refused material by Sunderland Bros.
and at the Hull lumber yard, and by reason
of inability to secure material from any
place in town he had been foroed to break
his contract with the union; that at the
time he was In Sunderland Bros.' office he
heard one of the firm offer to sell goods
over the telephone, wit h the understand
ing that the material was not to be used
in Omaha;- that. May 20, he met one Llnd
berg, who Informed affiant that he was a
member of the Business Men's association
and that if affiant would tell the material
men that he was a nonunion man and
wanted the material for a nonunion man
he would have no trouble In getting It, and
that h would bet he could gat it; that th
Business Men's association was organised
to "bust the unions" and was not a local
affair, but an International association.
Affidavit of s Pi amber.
Th sffldavtt of W. T. Daly, Jr.. was to
the effect that be had gone to the offloe
of Crane Co. and was told that he could
not buy plumbing supplies, but that If he
was using nonunion men be could get
them.
There were affidavits from a number of
the members of the Meat Cutters' union,
who told of th trouble between that union
and U.e BiitcheiV aauclaUon. E. E. Whitm,
on of the members, swearing that on
Bloaberg had told him that if he left his
employ when called out by the union be
oould not work In Omaha any more. A
number of teamsters swore in various
affidavits that W. S. Jardine had told his
men that he forced them into the union a
year before, but if they would withdraw
from that organization he would pay the to
all of the money It had cost them.
The affidavit of Charles Hart, business
agent of the Walters' union, denies i peclflo
ally any part of the affiant in any dis
turbances, or any forcible Interference
with persons during the strike.

Th wholesale dealers were before the
County Board of Equalisation yesterday
anC with the agents of tb insurance com
panies held the board until 1 o'clock be
fore sdjournment wsa taken for noon. The
mor Important questions came up over
the assessment ot the wholesale grocery
houses and these occupied the larger part
of the time, not being entirely settled when
the hoard passed to other business. TN. H.
MrCord appeared for th McCord-Brady
company. Edgar Allen for Allen Brothers
and C. H. Pickens for the Faaton-Galla-gher
company. Each arid every one pro
tested against the assessment as returned
by the city Board of Equalisation, saying
that it waa not only too high at the time,
but that It is much too high now. as stocks
were much lower at the time of the county
assessment than at tha time of the city
assessment. They said that much property
had been sent to branch houses in other
townL and Is tared in those places, reducing
the amount to b paid in Omaha.
A. C. Harte Joined the grocers in ob
jecting to accepting the figures of the city
tax commissioner as the value cf the prop
erty for the purpose cf taxation, and said
th county board should set its own rate
regardless of the action of the city tax
commissioner. J. P. Connolly said that in the
Intrrrsts of falrress, end believing the city
Board of Review hart devoted much rare
and attention to the matter, he would favor
fixing the assessed valuation of all personal
property at one-lxth of the amount re
turned by the city Bard of Review. Acting
on this suggestion, tivon the motion of Mc
Donald and with the votes of McDonald,
Hofeldt and Connolly, the assessments upon
the Paxton-Gallaghcv company ar.d the McCord-Brady
company were raised to one
aixth of the city assessmenta. Hofeldt left
the combination when it came to raising
the assessment of Allen Brothers to the
same ratic, and voted with O'KeelTe and
Harte. I'pon motion of Harte it was de
cided to Talse the assessment of Allen
Brothers to 2,M0. which is about 3.M0 leas
thin one-sixth of the value found by the
city. As soon es this motion prevailed Mr.
McCord and Mr. Pickens filed formal pro
tests against their assessments, cltlr.g the
case of Allen Brothers, These protests will
be heard later in the week.
The insurance companies did not rench
a conclusion, th matter being referred to
the county attorney for an opinion. The
agents decided to visit the county attorney
in th afternoon to present their conten
tions. The complaints against the Bee Publish
ing company, J1S.000; S. Amsteln, tl.600, and
the Creamery Package company, tt.OOO,
were dismissed.
The hearing of the complaint against the

CHIEF IS AGAINST DYNAMITE
Will Arrest All the Dealers Offering
Dangerous Fire Crackers
far Bale.
A complaint was filed In police court
yesterday against C. E. Lathrop, 1324 North
Twenty-fourth street, charging him with
offering for sal, dynamite fire crackers
three and one-half inches in length. Lath
rop said the explosives had been bought
for three-inch crackers and he was there
for selling them .4Ue. same way, and in
doing so ha did think he was violating
the orders of th. -chief of police.
Sergeant Cook, who discovered the fact
that three and one-naf inch crackers were
being sold for three-inch crackers, said
that nearly very dealer on North Twenty
fourth street was doing the same thing.
Captain Mostyn at once ordered an In
vestigation and a complaint filed against
every dealer In the city who was selling
tb three and one-half inch slxe. It is be
lieved that a majority of the dealers hav
soro of these explosives and the fact that
they bought them for the three-inch six
will not sav them from prosecution.
Chief Donahue cut one of the Are crack
ers open and found that it was filled with
dynamite instead of powder. He Intends
now to stop the sale of the dynamite
cracker if it takes the entire police fore
to serve the warrants.
Yesterday afternoon these dealers were
arrested charged with selling firecrackers

BUSINESS MEN FAVOR MOVE
They Oomider tha Present "Burnt District"
Altogether Too Cocipicootn.
PROPERTY CAN BE PUT TO BETTER USE
Railroads May Br Interested in the
More Becaaae Tbey Want Addi
tional Trackage Property
Mayor Moores on Fines.
More comment was caused all over the
city by the article In Saturday's Bee stat
ing that a movement mas on foot to re
move the "burnt district" from its present
location than by any which has appeared
tor a number of months. The announce
ment came too late to be the subject of
any Sunday sermons, but was very gener
ally discussed by both sinners and Faints
Sunday, and it was still a very live topic
of conversation on the streets and in
offices yesterday morning.
The sentiment on the subject appears to
be practically unanimous to the effect that
the district shou'.d be moved from its pres
ent prominent location. In expressing this
stntlment several men took ' occasion lo
say that entirely aside from any moral
giounds and for purely business reasons
the district should be moved. No city in
the United States, It was said, allows Its
district to be located on and In full view
of prominent thoroughfares, and while such
a district will always exist In, every big
city Its exlBtence in Omaha at Its present
location Is a decided detriment and Injury,
particularly so far as strangers are con-,
-ctrned. .' -
Jt is now hinted that possibly one or mors
of the railroads are behind the proposition
to move the district, in order thst tha
blocks now occupied by It south of Caplto!
avenue may be turned Into trackage prop
erty. Two roads are now In position to lay
tracks to It and two others might, without
meeting insurmountable obstacles, do so.
Will Have Ke Fines.
Mayor Moores said yesterday that all
he knew of the matter was what he had
lead, and that until it comes before th
board he did not care to express an opin
ion on it. But on one subject connected
with the district Mayor Moores said that
he had a very decided opinion to expresa.
He had heard several rumors, he said, of
eom officer or officers going around saying
that tha open houses and houses of assig
nation were to be fined 40 every month
and that the Inmates were ' to be fined
monthly. He had failed to locate the offi
cers, but wss trying to do so, and if he
found the reports correct, which he doubted.
there would be some explanations in order.
No such notices have been authorized by
th board, and he will oppose to the full
extent of his authority. Mayor Moorea said,
a return to the old fining system. If It
should be carried out over his protest then
the fines will be remitted.
From a number of opinions on the matter
given The Bee these are fair samples:
C. E. Bates The houses should cer
tainly be compelled to move off our main
thoroughfares, such as Douglas street, and
from the immediate vicinity of them.
J. H. Evans The district, and the houses,
are entirely too conspicuous at present, and
should certainly be moved. Aalde from that
the property they occupy Is too valuable for
such purposes. It is naturally business
property and should be put to its proper
use.

Dr. Pilph Connell It may be well enough
to move the district, but first J would like
to see the board do what it can do with
lesa trouble, and that la move the assig
nation houses from Sixteenth, Leavenworth
and other stroets entirely . outside any
district,
B. F. Cochran So long as it is necessary
to have a district it should be located as
far as possible from the public view.

Is a disgrace to the city and It will be a
good move to have it moved to a less

J. Frak Carpenter I have not given the
matter any thought, but the proposition is
one which does not require time for con

as far as possible from public view.

Keep Your Insides Cool !
Here' a man w ho thinks he has heart disease, and Is scared half to death.
His face is all dravn out of shape from fear and agony. Every time he eats,
his heart " palpitates" that simply means that his stomach is swelled tip
with gases from fermenting undigested food, and his heart thumps against
his diaphragm. Nothing the matter with his heart. In the summer time,
this gas distention is much worse, his whole body and blood get over-heated,
and his heart and lungs get so crowded for room, that he gasps for breath.
There he is, look at him t Every minute he expects to drop dead. As a
matter of fact, all he needs is to stop that touring and gas forming in hrs
stomach and bowels, help his digestion along, and keep cool inside. You
all know that whenever something rots r decays, heat develops. Same
in the body. Keep cool inside I Take a candy cathartic CASCARET

ENDORSES ACTION OF ROOSEVELT
Declare Systematic Movement Is
Working to Destroy C'ItII Hlaht
of Colored People Which
Threatens Rain.
LOUISVILLE. June 3 At the annual
session of the Afro-American Press. asso
ciation held here today a strong address
dealing with the race queation was unani
mously adopted for issuance to th coun
try at large, Tha address calls on the
people to enforce the principles of good
government in the "present crisis In th
history of the Afro-American people, when
a systematic and thoroughly organised
movement, begun in 1R6S, Is .working with
malicious and malignant energy to utterly
destroy the civil and political rights of
those for whom we stand In sympsthy.
"We resent the reiterated statement that
this Is a 'white man's country.' It was
made in its Inception and development by
all of its people. Irrespective of race, and
the federal constitution specifically places
all of Its citisens on equality before th
law.
"The persistent effort which has bean
made and is being made to nullify ths suf
frage guarantees of tha fourteenth and fif
teenth smendment to th federal consti
tution is fraught with much danger to
the peace and security of th federal anion.
We again direct attention to th effect
produced by the actions of th mob spirit;
we do this not bees use we are the victims
in roost part of the license, but because It
has become a national problem, with which
the nation in Its public opinion must deal
or ultimately go down to ruin in th mad
overflow of anarchistic passion and fury.
It Is a national problem In which ws bars
only co-ordinate interest."
Th sddreas closes with an endorsement
of President Roosevelt's attitude on this
and other questions affecting public mor
ality. The meeting was presided over by Cyrui
Field Adams, assistant register of th
treasury.
Th following officers were elected: C.
F. Adams. Chicago, president; William A.
