BEEP ANXIETY AT ST. PETERSBURG
Official Still In the Dark Over Par
of 'Warships,
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 17.-2:02 a. m.
Public anxiety regarding the fate of the
ships of Hear Admiral Wlthoft's squadron
remaining unaccounted for Is still un
relieved. St. Petersburg continues to be
entirely dependent upon foreign sources
for news, the Russian authorities claim
ing to bo quite a much in the dark as
the publld. The admiralty neither confirms
nor denies the report that a majority of
he squadron returned to , Port Arthur,
'althouith it does not fail to point out that
only the most desperate situation after the
sea fight could have compelled the ves
sels to return for refuge to that port.
Nothing ha been received from Russian
sources regarding the report from Che
Foo of a sortie of the Port Arthur war
ships today. The report may refer to the
liuyan and the gunhoats and torpedo boat
destroyers left in the harbor and one or
two of Admiral WlthofX's ship which were
forced' to limp back to the port after the
ftglit of. August 10. i . .
The "report of the sinking of the cruiser'
, Rnrik Is accepted as true in official circles
und the public Wd been prepared for a
definite announcement by the publication
ths afternoon of a report that it had been
grievkujKly'triiinftga.. The authorities, out
ff cuiideatlon for' the families of the
officers ' arid sailors, decided to withhold
an official announcement until after they
have- received an official report upon the
return Of the -cruisers Rossla and Qrom
ohol to Vladivostok, wtiere the experts
figur ' they should have arrived by this
time. i i
. There Is a rumor afloat tonight that the
cruisers Diana and PaUade. have reached
Port Arthur, .but the source of the report
ounnot be trced and it : receives little
credence. The opinion I growing that the
heavy . losS3s sustained by the . Port Ar

LOUISVILLE, y., Aug. 18. Under fair

strong., passed in review before the peo
ple of Louisville today. 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:

SHERIFF ISSUES A WARNING
AdMsei People to Keep OS Railroad
Elght8-of-WaT Entering South Omaha.
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. -.'.

BOTH SIDES REPULSE MAYOR
Packers Bay Harrison it Powerless and
Striken Assert Too Late.
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.
