First Time Orand Jury
la Itnsf.
CHICAGO. June 20.-.Practlcally no prog
ress was madu today toward a settlement
of the teamsters' strike. The committee
appointed last night by the Teamsters'
Joint council today divided Into subcom
mittees of the wholo and made callH on
different employers trying to arrange some
method of ending the difficulty. Their
work was not completed tonight and no
definite agreement with the employers has
been veached. The subcommittee will con
tinue the missionary work tomorrow.
On many sides there are indications that
the end of the strike Is at hand. The ex
press companies for the first time since
the strike commenced resumed the de
liveries of products to the commission
houses, and the union teamsters employed
by these commission houses, who had all
along threatened to strike if such de
liveries were made by the express com
panies with non-union drivers or accepted
by the commission men, offered no objec
tion today and continued at work as
usual. '
BeveraU business houses reported that In
dividual teamsters hud applied to them for
their old positions and a few of them have
been reinstated. There has, however, been
no official action on either side which seems
to foreshadow the calling off of the strike,
,. . Prospect of I'eaoe Ilrijrhter.
A majority of the members of the Inter
national executive board are known to be
onpoaed to a continuance of the strike
and havj used their Influence during the
laat week toward bringing it to an end
It waa on thla account that the executive
committee waa asked to act with the coun-
ell's peace committee In bringing the
Strike to -a cloao. That the new commit
' tee will agree to the peace terms offered
by . the employers teems 'practically cer
tain. It Is understood, that should peace
efforts be blocked thla time through un
foraoen circumstances a referendum vote
on calling off the strike will be taken.,'
Edward Blokett, a nonunion teamster em
ployed by the National Express company,
was subjected to barbarlous treatment
early today by four men alleged to be strike
sympathizers. Blckctt was attacked In
front of Ufi'e Teamsters' union headquarters.
After being knocked down by the men three
fingers of his right hand were broken and
two fingernails pulled out. The victim ap
pealed to the men to have mercy, but his
cries were in vain, and when the assailants
left he waa unconscious In the street,
where he was found later by a policeman.
. Grand Jarjr Baiy,
The grand Jury today summoned Arthur
Meeker and T. J. Conners, high officials
of Armour' & Co., and asked them ques
tions concerning the alleged payment of
money to labor leaders during the stock
yards strike of last summer.
Fifteen other promlaent employers and
tintott men alao. were subpoenaed as a re

WORK OF SESSION COMPLETED
C'hlrstlnn Endeavor Convention Hears
Addresses and He-Elects
Its Officers.
After a most successful two days' session
the convention of the Christian Societies
of the Thirteenth district came to a close
yesterday evening. In the afternoon a well
arranged program was carried out and fol
lowed by a business meeting, and a largely
attended social In the basement of the First
Presbyterian church served as a fitting
wlndup.
Means of interesting young people in mis
sions were discussed by Miss Ivy Reed.
Miss Nellie Magee explained the work
done at, the city mission, showing how
many young people have been reclaimed
from leading immoral and dissolute lives
and given opportunity for Improvement.
Twenty-five children from the mission were
present and shared In the program with
songs and exercises.
The officers serving the Omaha Chris
tian Endeavor union were chosea to act
In the same capacity for the society. They
are: Arthur Chase, president; Miss Ivy
Reed, secretary: Miss Agnes E. Ward, cor
responding secretary, and A. A. Gaston,
treasurer.
The banner presented for the best show
ing in members present was won by the
society of the First Congregational church.
Out of a membership of twenty-eight It
had sixteen representatives present. The
banner Is valued aa a prize because of its
being presented by the Christian Endeavor
Union of Calcutta to the national body In
this country and in turn awarded to the
Nebraska union for showing a 10 per cent
Increase in membership.' Its presentation
furnished one of the features of the even
ing's entertainment.
Music, games and a number of literary
features were furnished and refreshments
served.
LAND FENCE; TRIALS STOP
Further Prosecution Delayed Because
1003 Indictments Are Held,
to lie Defective.
It now begins to, look as if there will not
be any more trials for illegal fencing of
the public lands at. this term of the federal
courts: The reasons given are that the tn
dlctments of J903,are defective under new
and existing conditions, resulting particu
larly from .tha'tlnkald law, and hence
new lndlqtmenis w;lll have to be brought
to fortify the' ojd ones now pending. It
Is Held by Deputy District Attorney S. R.
Rush that the moral effect of the convic
tion of John and Herman Krause of illegal
fencing will have a deterrent Influence upon
other cattlemen charged with the violation
of the law, and that the fences will be
taken down and that the cattlemen will
be given a reasonable time to do this.
But, should they show an indisposition to
take down their fences on government
lands, prosecution will follow relentlessly,
criminal if necessary and civil action in
any event.

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, June 20.-Tho
address to King Oscar, the Riksdag, and
the Swedish peoplo generally, adopted by
tho Storthing yesterdny, In reply to the
long leter which the king sent June IS
to the president of the Storthing, M.
Herner, Is of a conciliatory character. At
the same time, however, It Indicates tho
unalterable determination of the Storthing
to adhere to the action taken In dissolv
ing tha union with Sweden. The text Is
as follows:
Your Majesty: Norway's Storthing
respectfully begs to address your majesty,
and through your majesty, Sweden's Riks
dag, and Sweden's peoplo, as follows:
What has been happening recently In
Norway Is the lnevltanie result of a com
bination ot late political events and cannot
be altered, and aa it Is certain that neither
of the two peoples Is desirous of returning
10 tne rormer condition 01 union, tne
Storthing Is of the opinion that It ought
not to reconsider the various questions of
the constitution and public law that have
been brought up In your majesty's note to
the Storthing's president In connection with
the resolutions adopted and on which the
Diorining ana tne government nave al
ready expressed themselves in detail.
The Storthing recognizes fully your ma
jesty's difficult position and never for a
moment has doubted that your majesty s
decisions are In accordance with What
your majesty has regarded as the rights
and, duties of the crown. At the sumo
time the Storthing Is desirous or ndUvess
lnir an anneal to vour mutestv. the Kiks-
dug and the people of Sweden, with the
object of contributing to the peaceful car
rying through or the dissolution 01 me
union and the safeguarding of the friend
ship and concord of the two peoples of
tne peninsula.
No Dealre to Notify Sweden.
The Storthing has seen from expressions
of opinion in Sweden that the resolution
which the Storthing felt It to be its duty
to the fatherland to adopt, in declaring
the union of the two kingdoms dissolved,
has In form and action been considered
mortifying to Sweden. That has never been
us intention. vv nat nas nappeneu anu

inevitable maintenance ot Norway's con-
rtltutlonal rights. The Norwegian peoplo

As vour maJe8tv. In council May 20, de
clared you were unable to sanction tho
Btortning s unanimous resolution lor mo
establishment of a separate Norwegian
consular service, and as no Norwegian
Jivernmc,nt could be obtained by your ma
esty, the constitutional state of Norway
was so far disjointed that the union could
no longer be maintained. Upon Norway's
Storthing there was imposed the necessity
of procuring without delay a government
for the country, avery otner course ws
closed, all the more so as your majesty's
Swedish government had, April a, already
explicitly declined to enter into new nego
tiations wnn tne oissoiuiion 01 m union

Norwegian people do not feel any bitter
ness or animosity against your majesty or
the Swedish neonle. The statements to the
contrary, which possibly were uttered on
occasions, nave wnouy ana soieij- un-u
grounded on dissatisfaction at Norway's
position In the union, and as that source of
bitterness and animosity would disappear
with the dissolution of the union, its enects
also would vanish.
Should Form Alliance.
Ninetv vears of eo-oDerntlon In material
and intellectual labors have awakened in
the Norwegian people teelings ot sincere
friendship and sympathy for the Swedish
people. These feelings, with Norway occu
pying a position of national Independence,
once more grow apace and Insure the en
trance of a mutual understanding between
the peoples. In the belief that the Swedish
people share these views, the Storthing sug
gests to Sweden's constitutional authorities
that they enter upon the negotiations re
quisite for a final settlement of the dissolu
tion of the union with the recognition of
Nerway's new status ana us ngnts aa a
sovereign state. The Storthing is Itself pre
pared to meet every rair ana reasonanie
wish that may be put forward to safeguard
the kingdom's independence and integrity.
Constitutionally, the two peoples will
henceforward be separate, but at the same
time the Storthing Is fully convinced that
this will lead to the development of a good
and trustful relationship for the defense of
their mutual Interests.
If the future settlement can be attained
without bitterness and prejudice the Storth
ing is convinced that what has happened
will prove for the lasting welfare of the
northern peoples. For tho sake of the north
the Storthing addresses this areal to tho
people, which by its magnanimity and chiv
alry has attained for Itself such an ami.
nent place among nations, and with which
the Norwegian people oesire most sincerely
to maintain good relations.
Riksdag; Meets,
STOCKHOLM, June 20. The proceedings
In the lower house of the Riksdag were
opened with a short address by M. Hedin,
the senior member, after which Premier
Ramstedt announced that King Oscar had
reappointed MM.Swarthlng and Pherson to
be respectively president and vice president
of the house. President Swarthlng made a
speech during which he said that the hope
of Sweden in regard to the union had
vanished and Norway's negation of tho
union had been accomplished in Buch a
manner that it would be very difficult to
make any attempts to reopen the negotia
tions. The president was sure the mem
bers realized fully their responsibility
towards the nation and future. He hoped,
however, that a result of the proceedings
of the present Riksdag would record tho
honest desires of Sweden.
The Council of State at a meeting today
adopted a petition which will be presented
to the Riksdag tomorrow. According to
the best Information, the main points are
that Sweden refuses to recognize the one
sided dissolution of the union by tho
Storthing, but the government asks the
Riksdag for authority to enter into nego
tiations with Norway In order to establish
the basis for a dissolution on which both
count rlea can mutually agree and the
amicable relations of the two countries be
maintained.
NEW METHOD OF EXAMINATION
Teats Calculated to Bring Ont Prac
tical Ideas Are filven Appli
cants for Certlflcatra.
The examinations of young women who
wish to obtain,' certificates to tew-h In the
Omaha public schools, now taking la-
at the high school, differs a great deal
from the similar tests applied only a few
years ago. The old examinations were de
signed principally to test the applicant's
memory for facts, or at least that was
tho result obtnlimd. Now the examining
committee, directed by the superlntend"ht,
strives to frame the question so ss to
demonstrate the applicant's power to think
and knowledge possessed of the underlying
principles of the study.
The theory and practice of teaching now
comes In for a great deal of attention and
much effort Is spent to find out If the ap
plicant Is really In touch with tho work
she proposes to perform. Good penmanship
Is Insisted upon, and if it Is found to bit
bad, the candidate Is required to bring it
up to to the standard required, In order
that she may set a proper example to
pupils in this reBpect. Generally the prac
tical knowledge of the applicant Is t-stcd,
rather than her technical learning. Borne
cities, notably Baltimore, have adopted
the "thesis" method of examination for
teachers. This means the preparation of
a paper on a subject relative to pedagogy,
and a defense and elaboration of It, the
latter Impromptu and within a given time,
in order to determine whether the applicant
Is using borrowed Information or informa
tion that she has made her own.
Candidates In the local examination, de
spite Its practical alms, say It Is much
harder than the old-fashioned kind, and one
young woman who wont through the mil!
Monday said she was never more fatigued
in her life than she was that night.
CONTINENTAL MEETS GRIEF
Finance Company Formerly Located
la Oninba IlelnK Prosecuted
In Illinois.
The Continental Finance company, a con
cern which operated in Omaha for a few
weeks about a year ago, has met grief at
the hands of Attorney General William T.
St-ad of Illinois, and its office has been
taken in charge by the sheriff. It Is alleged
to be a "fake bank" and a get-rlch-qulck
concern.
An agent of the company opened an ofllca
a year ago on East Farnam street. He had
been doing business but a few weeks when
he became nn object of interest to the
State Banking board and he was called to
Lincoln to make a showing of the ability
of the company to do business on the plan
advertised. He was unable to satisfy tha
authorities that the business was legiti
mate and was compelled to close his office.
Attorney General Stead has begun a war
on get-rlch-qulck concerns in Chicago, and
the Continental compuny is the first vic
tim. He alleged in the bill filed before tho
master In chancery that the company has
been obtaining the people's money through
a contract and loan system, which Is said
to be quite Impossible of performance by
any honest, solvent, legitimate business
method, scheme or plan. A temporary re
ceiver was appointed and the sheriff took
possession of tho office.
PIONEER BUILDING TO GO
Old Jackson School that Has Stood
Half a Century Will Be
Torn Down.
One of the oldest, If not tho oldest, school
buildings In Omaha Is soon to be moved to
a new location. The structure is a one
story frame affair, about 20x 40 feet In size,
known as tho old Jackson school and stand
ing at 1217 Jackson street. It has been
standing nearly half a century, but Is still
In a good state of preservation. For a long
time it has been used as a store for the
custodian's supplies, but with the abolish
ment of this office the building will be with
out a use. The property on which it stands
was sold to the C. N. Diet company more
than a year ago, and since then space for
the store has been leased by the school
board. This lease will be terminated July
1 and the old building moved to the Druid
Hill school at Thirty-first and Spauldlng
streets, where It will be used for a kinder
garten to be opened there this fall. The
moving of tho old Jackson street school
will obliterate another of the very few old
landmarks left In the city. Many a now
prominent citizen got his first knowledge
of tho common branches In the school.
