Over 100,000 peo ple lined the route of the parade? three miles in length. ' Despite a drawback in the number and quality of horses furnished the visitors, which, according to the general staff, pre vented nearly 2,000 men from participating, the pageant was a gorgeous success. Gen eral Carnahan, commander-in-chief, was a very wrathful man when the hour for the parade drew near and he took note of the quality of the beasts offered for mounts. At the last moment General Carnahari was furnished with a suitable horse, but thrco cavalry companies and many officers were forced to enter the parade unmounted while others did not participate at all. The Philippine Constabulary band, which led the parade, wac one of the feature re ceiving a tremendous ovation all along the route. The Hat of brigades In line included the following: Brigades litf Line. Kansas General Joseph H. Lyons. Illinois General James H. Bnrkley. Ciillfornia-Mjeneral Charles F. McOiassen.

WILL RUN TRAINS WITH RECRUITS ON Stations (pedal Deaetlea Ataasj Tracks and Co-Operates i with Railway Companies in lipprrtalng Riots and Assaults. "I give fair wsrnlng to everybody now to keep off the railroad rights-of-way be tween Omaha and South Omaha," declared Sheriff Power. "I have been notified by all the railroads to take this course In their behalt and as eherlfr I shall see that the ordpr Is obeyed. We propose to run trains down there from Omaha, taking In the new packing house employes Instead of taking them down on the street cars and we propose thst these trains shall not be obstructed or their passengers molested. I have ordered a line of special deputies stationed along the tracks. It will be well for the people to observe this warning. W want no trouble." (Unlet at Month Omaha. There. was no excitement or disorder-' on the streets lust 'night when the workers st the packing plants quit for the day. Sheriff Power Was so well satisfied that there would be no disturbance on Q street that he did not have as large a force of deputies with him as.iisual, neither did he call out the patrol wagon. Af Cndahy' the employe living In Omaha boarded rnll rond cans" at the plant and were taken' to Omaha without being compelled to go through the thickly settled portion of the city. Street cars were on hand as usual, but only a few from Cudahy's patronised them, the majority preferring the steam Cars. Sheriff Power and Manager Murphy , of Cudahy1 appeared to be very well satis fied with the steam car plan and the state ment that dummy train would continue to run Indefinitely. The experiment at Cudahy' la being watched with consider able Interest by managers of the other plants. A force of deputy sheriffs accom panied the strike breakers' train to Omaha last evening and the understanding Is that these trains will be guarded ns long a there la any elgn of disturbsnce along the route. Little Doing; Among Strikers. There was very little doing at labor headquarters Tuesday afternoon. Vice President "Vail and other leaders were en gtrged in the federal court and conse quently there was no information of Im portance to give out at headquarter. When the strikers were apprised of the failure of Mayor Harrison of Chicago to arrange for a conference between repre sentatives of the allied trades and the packers considerable surprise was ex pressed. Many of the union men here had appeared confident that Mayor Harrison would succeed In bringing about a confer ence which would possibly tend towards negotiations which might end the strike. Thomas Burns, who was Injured on the head by being struck with a stone Monday, Is doing very well at Swift's. Tuesday the packers purchased 1,175 cat tle, 8,905 hogs and 1,275 Sheep on thin mar ket. Packers declare that they are. get ting along nicely, but admit the scarcity of skilled help. They assert that a few skilled butchers come in and go to work every day. Thla statement the strikers deny, and go further by declaring that the conditions inside the plant are anything but a represented. "aI The police. and, deputies tiaS a, "Very quiet dny" yesterday, only three or four arreats being made, the most serious charge on the blotter being drunk and disturbing the peace, and this arrest was made outside of the packing house territory. LAWYERS HOW ARGCIXG THE CASH Opposing- , Counsel In Federal Court Hearing; Flsjht It Out. The federal court hearing In the cases of the strikers wj . resumed before Judge Munger yesterdays Secretary Stevens of local No. 72 was the ftrst witness, being re called for redirect examination. He testi fied that "no record was kept of the men placed on picket duty. I never put men on picket duty. F. H. Archer had charge of the picket. Archer held no official posi tion. If he did I did not know of It. Neither Hlckey, Homley nor Dady was on picket that I know of." Vice President Stephen Vail was recalled. "I know of no record of picket. Do not know who has," he said. ' Mrs. Hattle Collins, a boarding house keeper at 3115 R street, South Omaha, testi fied that one "Den" Dady goarded with her. He was one of the employes of one of the packing houses, but she did not know which one.' He had not been at work since the strikers went out on July 12. This con cluded the testimony in these coses and the cases were submitted for argument. Judge Munger announced that the hear ing In the case of Stephen Vail and 173 others, which was set for this morning, would go over until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Attorney Ed P. Smith opened the argu ment for the defendants.. He said in effect; "A knowledge of the issuance of the in junction order was the essence of the of fense. A suit of this character was a civil action and the defendants could not be held criminally liable. The complainants have pleaded an action for contempt, but have utterly failed to prove anything,, and these defendants should be discharged." C. J. Smyth for the defense maintained that neither of the three parties now before the court was Included in the class coming under the Injunction order'. "They are not named In the order. In the number or class. Local No. 72 I not an entity and cannot sue or be sued. But Its members . can be. Under the restraining order these defendants are not obliged to bring themsnlves into the Jurisdiction of this court. The court must reach out and seek them. : These men have not been served with any notice of injunction. There Is no Jurisdiction without service. They cannot be held for contempt unless It be shown that they have been served person ally with the writ by the proper officers." . The court here Interposed: j "It ia shown by the testimony of Mrs. Collin that Dady was one of the packing house employes. The order applies to the strikers. Dady would therefore be Included In the term strikers." It was shown that one witness had testi fied thst ene Dennis Dady was a member of on Of the locals and his residence wa given as at Mrs. Collin' house. No. 3115 R street. South Omaha. General Cowin, leading counsel for the packers, saldt "This I not a criminal proceeding In (he sense of an Indictment or Information." The court: "By the cdurt Imposing a Judgment It would bo a criminal proceed ing." General Cowin: "The petition . simply charge the parties with violating th order of the oourt. If thla b true.. It utJecl thtm to punishment. The citation compels th parties to go on the witness stand and to give answers under oath, hence '..why should they not be punlshod by th court. An Injunction Is aa equity proceeding purely. Th court can ask and compel an swers In an equity case, but cannot do sq In a criminal ce. This Is a criminal pro cllng In a sense, but not purely."- General Co R in proceeded further to show that the defendants had sufficient knowl edge of the Injunction from publlo hearsay and publication and had wilfully violated It Judge Cowin closed his argument at 2:90. He claimed to have proven that the men cited for nntempt were etrlker nd that they and all other strikers cited knew of the Injunction. He compared this case to that of Eugene Debs, declaring with con siderable fervor that this-ess was fsr more atrocious, because It involved the vlo latlon of tha Injunction, while Debs only urged his men not to work. He referred in Impassioned terms to h alleged assault upon the mute, declaring the strikers treated him worse than the law would permit them to treat a txost In the packing house and thst nations went to war for less severe treatment of their subjects. Attorney C. J. Smyth, called attention to. records of previous cases wherein federal courts had held that definite knowledge of th injunction and Its terms were neces sary. ,, The defendants were charged with aid Ing and abetting those who were enjoined, said Mr. Smyth. - The proceedings are so penal in effect that there should not be the slightest doubt of their knowledge of tha injunction and what it enjoined. 11. B. rieharty cited cases In substan tiation bf the claim of the necessity for full knowledge on the part of the defend ants, and said granting thst their Con. duet was vicious there has been no proof that they knew of the order. E. P. Smith, for the defendants, argued that the case must rest on the question of actual notice, which he sold they had not received. FAIL TO DISCOVER JOUJt DOES Sheriff and Police Forces Search In Vain for Strikers. Th intense heat ; of Sunday apparently caused the ten John Does for whom Sheriff Power was searching to evaporate. At any rate, he failed to apprehend them and they are still at large, notwithstanding th fact that a sheriff's posse, MO strong, wearing shining new badges, and a horde of police men are looking for them, backed by a warrant Issued by. County Judge Vinson haler,. charging the fugitives with "riot, rout and resisting the officers of the law.' Of the Seventeen men who were arrested during the trouble at the stock yards in South Omaha Saturday night, and who were arraigned in the county court yester day on complaint , of Lawyer Frank H. Gaines, attorney for the packers, all have been released on the 1400 bond required by Judge Vlnsonhaler except four, The unlucky one are John Kelly. Hugo Adpck, Joe Frederlckson and Louis Ranch. They are still Incarcerated in cells at the county 'Jail under the espionage of Jailer Roach, but expect to . be liberated some time today. "They all expect to get out on bond," said Jailer Roach, "but I think the gentle man named Kelly will be disappointed. "I think the Jail for htm is like a hog tight pasture. Kelly Is a decorative plas terer, so he says. He was shipped here from Kansas City as a strike breaker and after breaking In a packing house for a day he went out on the street and became a union labor ogl.tator of the fighting quality. Now he ,1s; locked up with both sides arrayed against him. . When he gets out I don't think he'll want to do any more decorative plastering with, blood In South Omaha." - All of the accused men will appear for examination before ' Judge Vlnsonhaler Thursday morning at 10 o'ejock. If not ready then, the "will be' given a further continuance. -.'. WARRANT' FOR TWKSTV NEW ONES Arresting brdVi- Issned by Jndsre Vln sonhaler for More Strikers. ' .

This brings the total number against whom a complaint has been made to forty-seven. Lawyer Frank H.

INTERVENTION PLANS ARE BLOCKED Oat look for Strike Settlement from This Soarre Not Near So Bright as on th Pre ceding Day, CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The mayor's lntor. ventlon prospects for peace In the packing house strike were far from reassuring to day. The packers, at a meeting held last night in Swift and Company office, ap pointed a committee consisting of Edward Tllden. Thomn J. Wilson and Thoma E. Conors to represent them at a conference with the mayor, but today an official of one of the big compnnle poured cold water on the enterprise by declaring there was "nothing on earth the mayor could do" to bring abont a settlement. The packers' attitude wa that, while nothing of benefit could result from a meeting with the mayor, it would not do to refuse to go to the city hall. On the other hand, the strike leader were equally antagonistic. President Don nelly declared he did not expect to be present at the time the conference wa to meet. President Donnelly Said hi reason Was that at the hour named he had to address the Hog Butcher' union. "And the hog butcher are a great deal more Important to me than the mayor,' said the head of the strikers. "Harrison was too long getting In. He ha heard our say for fair police treatment- and ha Ignored it. He need not think that now he can snap hi finger or whistle and have us come to do his bidding." Packers Decline Proffer. ' Without waiting for th time et the packer ent a committee to Mayor Harri son and informed him It would do no good to arrange a Joint conference with the strike leaders. The oomralttee contended that the packer had already won th strike and had no reason to meet the strikers. The packers told the mayor that he should consider that they controlled Chicago' greatest Industry and had such vast inter est at stake that they could not be domi nated by their employes; that they wanted to be fair; that prices of meat had not been raised and would not be raised be cause of the strike; that they could not ac cept anybody's Intervention. The mayor I reported to have said In reply that he was satisfied his good offices were useless and that he would make no further effort to bring about a meeting be tween the packers and the strikers. Labor Leaders See Mayor. During the day, after the announcement of the declaration of th packers to the mayor that a Joint conference was useless. President Donnelly of the Butchers' union, accompanied by Matthew Carr of the Coopers' union, who is on the strike con ference board, and John Fltzpatrlck, or ganlzer of the Chicago Federation of Labor, appeared .at the city hall and went into consultation with Mayor Harrison Mayor Harrison, after talking with the strikers' representatives, said that for the present there was nothing he could do to end the strike. The strikers were wlllln to take up negotiations with the packers, but the latter refuse to meet the striker. Mayor Harrison announced that he will drop the matter for the present.
