GOVERNOR'S AujGHTER TO CHRISTEN SHIP
rrobahllltr that Tradllaal Bottle of
Champagne Will Be Brokea oa

Orcaalon.
From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 3. (Srw-clal.)-Qovernor
Mickey has bfen notified by the
Moran Iron works of Seattle that the first
class battJenhip Nebraska will be launched
October 7 and the governor Is asked t
name a Nebraska woman to christen the
vesael. While no arrangement have been
made, H n believed that Miss Maria
Mickey, the governor's daughter, will act
as sponsor for the vessel. A distinguished
parly of Nebraskans will Journey to the
western City to witness the launching. The
plans for the trip have been confided to the
care of Adjutant General Culver.
The battleship Is to be one of the best
In the navy. It will have a complement of
6A men and Is to have a speed of nineteen
Pits. The contract calls for 19,000 horse
P'er. which 1m the same as that called for
In all of the new battleships. The ship
measures m feet In length, seventy-six
feet two and a half Inches wide and
twenty-three feet nine Inches draft. The
armor at the top of the wate line belt will
be eleven Inches thick, the turrets are
twelve Inches and the barbettes ten Inches.
Tlmre Is a protective deck three Inches
thick on the slope and one and a half
where It Is flat. The contract price of th
vessel Is K.rs.con.
Its armament Is equal to thnt of any
other battleship. There will be four twelve
Inch guns, two fore and two aft, In turrets
There will also be elpht eight-Inch and
twelve six-Inch guns The secondary bat
tery will have twelve three-Inch rapid
firing guns, twelve three-pounders, rapid
fire, eight one-pounders, two three-Inch
field guns, two magazine guns and six auto
matic suns.
I.ikrly to I se t hampattne.
Desplto the fact of Governor Mickey's
well known views on the internal use of
champagne, It Is 'probable that lie will
acquiesce In the plan of having his daugh
ter break a gaily decorated buttle against
the bow of the vessel as it slides down the
launching ways. The governor had not
had the time to give the matter any
thought this morning when he was ques
tioned. Tho goverfior has conscientious scruples
against the use of intoxicants of any kind
and there Is mere or less curiosity In the
minds of tha. public as to whether ho would
sanction the use of wine for even such a
purpose as the christening of a warsh'p,
but It Is now regarded ns probable that
he will abide by the old, established pre
cedents of all navies and permit the use
of wine. '
Probablr Hare Special Car.
While none of the arrangements have
been completed,-lt Is considered llke:y that
the governor, with his staff and Invited
guests, will make the trip in a special car.
When Governor Savage made the trip with
his staff the trip was made In that manne.-,
and It was a memorable occasion to the
Nebraskans who took part In the cere
mony of the driving of the rivet In the
keel of the ship. The management of the
Iron works made out a check for 3 cents,
payable to Governor Savage, that being
the value of the labor he expended in driv
ing the rlvot . -
UIk "octal Function.
These launchlngs and christenings are
great social functions, and It Is probable
that there will be lively work on tho part
Of aspiring Nebraskans to go with the
governor' party. Miss Mickey will have an
opportunity such as comes to one woman
tn a million, but It is not believed that
there will be any . rival applicants for the
privilege of swinging the wine bottle
against the prow of the vessel. It has been
customary for tho governor's daughter,
where he has one of suitable age, to per
form this ceremony, and It is believed that
the governor will folldw the custom.
Silver Service (or Nebraska.
Governor Mickey will nppolnt a commit
tee of distinguished cltixcns to receive con
tributions to be used in the purchase of
- u silver service for the wardroom ot the
battleship Nebraska. Just what form the
service will take, or who will be the de
signer, is still a matter of conjecture. The
governor, along with many other citizens,
has felt the need for some such recogni
tion of the honor shown the state in nam
ing a first-class battleship after it. It Is
probable that the people of the state at
large will be invited to make contributions,
so that the offering may in every sense
of the term bo one from the whole state.
Colonel George K. Jenkins of Fuirbury will
probably be at the head of the committee.
It is intimated that some plan will bo de
vised which will permit the school children
of the state to make contributions for the
purchase of the service. The rule will
probably be small contributions, from the
largest possible number. The committee
appointed by the governor will be em
powered to select the design.
Can They Lower Levy!
This afternoon the county attorney for
Richardson county asked Attorney Oeneral
Prout whether or, not the county board,
which was In session, had the right to
lower the county levy, after having ad
journed. The attorney general refused to
make any reply until he could study the
question.
It is believed, however, that If any
method can be found by which the county
boards can legally reconvene for the pur
pose of changing levies after adjournment,
the problem arising out of the Increases
made by the State Board of Equalisation
will bo solved without difficulty. The
trouble at present Is due to the fact that
the county boards are responsible for any

To Make Dlteh Over "chool Land.
Governor Mickey and Attorney General
Prout have been notified by Sheriff Mc
Avoy of Sarpy county that proceedings are
on fiHit for the construction of a drainage
ditch, which will eventually cut throuirh
some school land belonging to the state.
The notice Is given so that the state may
appear In opposition to the construction of
the ditch, should such a course be consid
ered proper. The question Involved Is one
which has not hitherto been determined.
Discharge a Conductor.
Judge Cosgrave this morning discharged
from custody Isaac M. Thomas, the street
car conductor who was charged with as
saulting Officer Joerger. The assault con
sisted In the tsklng of the officer's hat be
cause he refused to pay fare on a street
car In Thomas' charge. The court held
that this might be construed as larceny,
but not as an assault, and dismissed the
case. The police are talking of rearresting
Thomas on the charge of either highway
robbery or larceny.
Nebraska Baptists Meet.
The forty-seventh annual convention of
the First Nebraska Haptlst association
closed this afternoon after a two days'
convention, in which many topics of in
terest te the members were discussed.
This morning Rev. 8. Z. Harten of Lin
coln made a strong plea for the keeping
In harness of the older preachers. He said
that It had become so there was a line
drawn upon a preacher at 50 years of age,
so that when he was compelled to change
he found no community willing to call
him. In consequence there was a lagging
In the advancement of religion. He be
lieved thnt the experienced preacher with
a young henrt was more to be desired than
the youthful minister with neither heart nor
experience, but who was sought after be
cause It was believed he was more in toch

The reports showed that the Baptist
church has 20,000 members In the state, an
Increase In ten years of 159 per cent. The
first church In Nebraska was built In
Omaha, but the first organization was In
Nebraska City in 1855. The association was

COWIN AND SMYTH CLASH
Two Distinguished Lawyers Lock Horni in
Federal Court Strike Case.
MUNGER SUPPRESSES THE PERSONALITIES
Smyth Intimates t'uivla Inspires
We'll bet You Wt" Spirit aad
tun la Insinuates Client is
TnVeateaed In C'onrt.
"Have you been threatened by any union
men about this court room or building to
day?" sharply asked General Cowin of
Witness Charles Werner late Thursday aft
ernoon Just as the witness had concluded
his testimony In the hearing of South
Omaha strikers in the federal court be
fore Judge Munger on the charge of vio
lating the Injunction Issued by the court
some weeks ago.
Before the witness could answer, C. J.
Smyth, attorney for the strikers, Interposed
an objection to the question, which was
sustained by Judge Munger. The effect of
the question had gone out, however, and
the Incident created a very perceptible sen
sation for a few moments.
Werner was the last witness called dur
ing the afternoon and It developed in his
examination that he was a professional
strike breaker from St. Louis and was now
employed at the Cudahy plant.
Another incident of the afternoon was a
spirited controversy between Oeneral
Cowin and Mr. Smyth, when the latter
asked Witness Morrison If the expression
said to be so frequently used by the
strikers, "Weil get you yet," had not been
prompted by Oeneral Cowin.
The query brought forth a sharp rejoinder
from Oeneral Cowin and the two distin
guished attorneys engaged in the liveliest
kind of a controversy upon legal ethics.
The attorneys were promptly called to
order by Judge Munger, who observed:
"Stop that, gentlemen; no personalities
will be permitted in thta court."
Testimony of Nesroes.
Hunt Morrison, colored, said he lived at
1124 Capitol avenue and was employed by
"Mr. Goodman" to go to work In a strik
er's place at South Omaha as a waiter.
He Identified Mr. Stevens as the man who
to'.d the strike breakers to leave and not
return.
Frank Smith, colored, from Kansas City,
testified to practically the sume thing. He
said no violence was offered him by the
strikers and that a friend of his who was
one of the strikers let him escape. He also
identllled Stevens as the man who lectured
them at labor headquarters.
William Henry Spriggs, colored, of
Omaha, told a similar story in all general
respects. He said: "The words Mr. George
Stevens said to us were: 'What are you
men here for? Don't you know that you
are taking bread from the mouths of our
families?"
The witness told of his encounter with
the pickets after he tried to return. He
claimed to have been knocked down and
kicked in the back.
Oscar Rodernian, white, of St. Louis, ad
mitted he was a professional strike breaker,
having taken strikers' places In numerous
strikes throughout the country. He would
"do any old thing for the money." Ad
mitting he was the leader of the party of
fifty-eight strike breakers from St. Louis,
he denied Ke"came here ostensibly as a
strike breuker.
Vail oa the Stand.
Stephen Vail, vice president oi the In
ternational Butchers' union and the leader
of the packing house strike in South
Omaha, was on the Witness stand for a
few minutes yesterday morning. Only
two or three minor questions were
asked him and his examination did
not develop into anything vital or inter
esting. He merely stated he was the vice
president and leader of the strike and
answered other formal questions put to
him by General Cowin, attorney for the
packers.
George Stevens, business agent of the
unions, was on the stand and testified
as to his official position, "but knew nothing
of any alleged disturbances.
Jnmes Hall, a colored strike breaker,
one of the party that was pulled from a
freight car July 23 while being conveyed
to the packing plants, also testified. He
admitted on the cross-examination that he
was a wanderer and had no specific place
of residence. He said Stevens was one who
harangued him, but he did not accuse
Stevens of any violence.
The last witness was John McNatighton,
master of transportation for the Cudahy
Packing company, who testified ns to the
intercepting and breaking open of the
freight car containing a body of strike
breakers who were being taken to the
Cudahy plant. He was in charge of tho
train at the time.
Saw Violenre Bat Once.
Mr. McNaughton concluded his testimony
Thursday afternoon, which went further
Into the details of the attack of the strik
ers on the cars transporting employes of
the packing houses, near the packing plants
July 25 and 26.
"None of them succeeded In getting into
the plants, nor did I see any violence at
tempted except on the 25th In the assault
upon the negro Hall," he said. "The men
brought by us were completely subdued by
the strikers, who numbered about 1,000.
About 200 of our men were taken by the
strikers on the 2tith, from the train that
arrived at the Burlington freight depot
about 10:30 that morning. I did not see
any violence ofher than the strikers tak
ing hold of our men and leading them
away. I knew they were strikers by their
wearing union buttons and by their general
appearance as former packing house men."
.The hearing concluded (at 6:15, and an
adjournment was taken to 9:30 o'clock this
morning.
(Inlet Day at Plants.
Thursday was an exceedingly quiet, day
In packing house strike circles. A half
hundred menfrom Kansas City arrived
at the Cudahy plant during the day, and
the statement was given out that the new
comer were packing house men of ex
perience. No more Japanese have arrived,
and the report Is that no more of this class
of labor Is to be brought lrUo the plants
here. General managers of the plants say
that they want men who will stay with
them, and not quit on the slightest provo
cation. For this reason the southern ne
groes are being sent away as rapidly as
possible, and where possible white men are
being put to work.

UUTKIMLTl.tU AGENTS,
ers say they are getting along very nicely,
and that the dally slaughtering report and
the market purchases give evidence that
the plants sre working In nearly all de
partments. Last night the personally conducted train
of Sheriff Tower left the packing plants
with seven coaches loaded with working
men. There was no disturbance along the
mute. One thing noticeable was that fewer
union men than usual gathered to watch
this dummy train leave for Omaha. There
was no Jeering at the train, and those who
witnessed Its departure appeared not to
take any Interest In the sheriff, his depu
ties, the police or the train.
Pckern make the statement that some
of the men working In the plsnts are now
going home every night, and that It will
not be long before the feeding and lodging
of men will be dispensed with entirely.
Strikers Short of Sappllea.
Friday. August 19. was the last time
the striker's relief store was open for the
distributing of any amount of supplies.
For several mornings past strikers have
gathered at the store on Twenty-fourth
street with sacks waiting for groceries,
but the store did not open. Yesterday a
notice was posted on the store doors that
today the store would open and give out
supplies. At labor headquarters it has been
stated that the failure to receive sufficient
supplies has prevented the opening of the
store. Another reason given is that the
officers of the local unions have been so
busy In the courts that they did not have
time to attend to the shipment of sup
plies. At any rate the store Is to be opened
today after having been cloned a week.
South Omaha strikers seem to have
turned their attention to the courts In
Omaha during the last few days, and this
may account for the lack of Interest shown
here. Cases are coming up dally in the
county court and in the federal courts.
These cases call away from the city the
leading officials, and n great many strikers
who are wanted as witnesses.
South Omaha packing house managers do
not take any stock In the proposed set
tlement of the Btrlke by the city council
of Chicago. They soy that as far as they
are concerned the strike Is off. A differ
ent feeling prevails at labor headquarters
It Is hoped here by the leaders that the
Chicago officials may bring the packers
and the allied trades together In a con
ference and that arbitration or a settle
ment may soon be reached.

Daniel W. Cahlll was the principal pros

ber of the union and went out on the gen
eral strike and returned a week or two
later and has been working since. He al
leged he was hooted at and stoned by the
strikers as he was returning home on the
evening of August 20, and after arriving
home his house was stoned and struck with
numerous missiles and he was called vio

later arrested by a special policeman for
carrying concealed weapons, but was sub
sequently released, it having been, shown
that he had been authorized by the police
