i FREIGHT DEPOTS OPEN LATE
Receive Shipment! This Summer Until
Three in the 'Afternoon.
5- JTO MORE CLOSING AT NOON
pvw Schedule of Hoars la Fixed (or
th Entire Year by Transporta
tion Committee of Com
merelal Club.
Freight depots In Omaha will be kept
(Open for receiving freight Saturday after
noons until S o'clock p. m. from January
1 to December 31, instead of closing (tip.
n. as they did last summer, or at 11 o'clock
noon during the coming summer, as sug
gested by the Omaha Local Freight Agents'
association.
This arrangement baa been settled by
(he transportation committee of the Com
mercial club and the railroads Interested,
and a request has been filed with the rail
roads asking that freight be received unlit
5 o'clock each evening instead of until
4.30 p. m. as at present.
In ttturn for the lengthening of the hours
for receiving freight on Saturdays during
the summer months, the transportation
committee is planning to co-operate with
the railroads and shippers will be asked
to get their freight to the depots earlier.
The transportation committee of the club
has compiled a "black list" of shippers
who are In the habit of sending 60 to So
per cent of their freight to the depots be
tween I and 4:30 p. m., which causes con
gestion and delay.
Shippers Promise to da Better.
At a meeting of the committee, composed
of some of the largest shippers, a motion
to read the list failed to pass and those
shippers on the committee promised to do
better. A letter will be sent to all shippers
asking that they co-operate with the rail
roads in the matter of getting freight out
promptly.
Some time ago the local freight agents'
association asked the shippers to give their
consent to closing the freight depots Satur
day afternoons from May 1 to November 1
at 12 o'clock noon. The freight agents had
Conformed to the Saturday closing of busi
ness houses In Omaha last summer and no
freight was received after 1 o'clock. But
1 O'clock was found to be too early by ship
pers and a protest was made to keep the
depots open longer, instead of closing them
earlier, which was successful. Investiga
tion in other cities disclosed the faot that
the Omaha depots were closing much
earlier than the depots In other western
cities.
BERRYMAN SEEKS NO FAVOR
Jack Leader Does Xot Want Con Ten.
Hon Jobs Jims Rale with
Iron Hand, v
Paraphrasing David of old, Ed P. Berry-
man, secretary of the Jacksonlan club,
says: "I would rather dwell in the camps
of the Jacks forever than be a doorkeeper
In the house of Lord Dahlman,"
This statement of Berryman puts a
quietus on the hopes of the Jacks, the
oldest democratlo political club In the
state, to secure official recognition In the
national convention at Denver In July, and
henceforth they will compose themselves
ill silence, being grateful for what . they
have and not asking for mor'o. In the
meantime Mayor Dahlman, chief of the
Jims and national committeeman for Ne
braska, goes merrily on his way, granting
favors right and left to the members of his
club and forgetting the other faction of
the party, for "to the victors belong the
spoils."
Since the county convention nearly two
months ago, the Jacks have beert massing
their force behind Berryman In the hope
that they could secure his appointment as
doorkeeper at the national convention.
Positions as sergeant and assistant ser-
geant-at-arms, postmaster and assistant
postmasters, doorkeeper and assistant door
keepers and others will have to be filled
by appointment, but they passed up all
others In the hope that the secretary of
their club would be appointed doorkeeper.
They wanted the appointment as recogni
tion of their club and the service It has
been to the party In the state for a number
of years.
Mr. Berryman says he does not want the
doorkeeper position, that be Is going to
the convention to see the fun and not to
stand outside and take tickets.

Good Friday was observed with custom
ary services in Omaha churches.
The celebration of the Passion, as ob
served by the Roman Catholic church, cul
minating on OfKxl Friday, generally occu
pies three days, beginning with Maundy
Thursday, or the Repository, the last acts
of the Lord. Holy Thursday commemo
rate, what the Lord did before His Pas
sion; the last supper, the Institution of the
Holy Eucharist and th. washing of th.
disciples' feet
The services of Good Friday consist of a
series of distinct actions. 1. The Passion
Is sung from the Gospel of 8t. John. 2.
Supplication and prayers for all classes
and conditions of men. 3. Reparation Is.
made in the unveiling and adoration of the
cross. 4, Mass of th. presanctlfted fol
lowed by Vespers. Th. chief action In this
mass Is the communion of the priest. There
is n. sacrifice of the mass, properly so
called, on this day; since the consecration,
which Is the essential element, sacrifice Is
omitted. Th. celebrant, after adoration and
some prayers, consumes the previously
sanctified Host. This is the day of the
church's widowhood, a day of desolation
and grief for her children.
Altar Veiled In Mourning-.
The sanctuaries are bare and unadorned,
the altar la veiled In mourning, nothing re
mains but the crucifix between six black
candles. Th. minister, are robed In black
and lie prostrate on the altar steps, while
a cloth and missal are laid on the altar.
Th. veneration of the cross Is the central
devotion and the universal practice of Good
Friday. All who are prevented from at
tending th. morning services find some time
in th. day to come to the church and kiss
the boly cross. Th. officiating clergy tak.
oft their shoes and kneel three times be
fore they kiss the crucifix.
Holy Saturday la In a special manner a
day of blessing. Before the mass come
long ceremonies of prophecies, which have
reference to th. baptism of catechumens.
First fire, which Is kindled from a flint
which Is blessed in the vestibule, and .from
this light Is commundcated to all th.
lamps of the church; next the Paschal
candle, which Is an emblem of Christ risen,
is blessed with solemn preface. Last comes
the blessing of the Easter water and the
baptismal font. After this the clergy retire
to the sanctuary and chant the Litany of
the Balnta. They are at this time robed In
whit, vestments. At the mass which fol
lows, the bells ring out again during th.
Gloria, and the organ answers in Joyful peal
and resumes the alleluja.
Observance In Other Che robes.
The observance of Good Friday was gen
eral In Catholic and such of the Protestant
churches as make it the custom. At
Kountse Memorial Lutheran church serv
ices were held from 12 m. until S p. m.,
commemorative of "In the shadow of the
Cross." These services were beld in half
hour periods.' Special music was rendered
by the choir followed by the reading of
the Passion history and confession serv
ices In th. evening.
At Grace Lutheran special preparatory
services were . held and continued in the
evening.
Meditation services were held at All
Saints' Episcopal church from 3 to S p.
m., with the litany at 7:80 last evening.
The services of the Lord's supper was held
at this church Maundy Thursday evening
at 8 o'clock.
Meditation services were also held at
Trinity cathedral at 10 a. m. and con
tinued from I to 5 p. m. Last evening
Gaul's "The Passion," a cantata, was ren
dered. It comprised six scenes: "The Trai
tor at the Table," "The Denial In the Pal
ace," "The Unjust Condemnation," "The
Mockery of Calvary," "The Bhadow of
Death," and "The Holy Sepulcher."
At Plymouth Congregational church spe
cial communion services were held last
evening.
At Calvary Baptist church special gospel
services was held.
Rev. John V. Kuhlman, 8. J., preached
a sermon on "Passion of Our Bavior," at
the Sacred Heart Cathollo church last
evening. Father Kuhlman was for many
years vice president of Crelghton univer
sity and perfect of studies. He is now on
the missionary board of the Society of
Jesus, giving missions throughout the mid
dle west. He, is recognised as a strong
and able preacher.
able than the old woman's lnderwndrnr.-
"A man told me he'd pay me for taking
ner goods down to her new place," said
McDonald as he llahted his cob pipe. "But
I told him I didn't want no pay for moving
the goods of a poor old woman. No, sir
I'm glad to help her."
The aged woman was asked if she would
not like to go to the county poor farm.
"I'd rather commit suicide," she said In
her slow, weak, weary voice. "I'll have
to pay S3. 60 a month rent down to my new
place, but I guess I'll be able to rnaimn
scm. way as long as I get a little washing
to do. "
And the wagon drove off to the south
With the Independent woman clutching her
mirror with one hand and cltnirinar in th.
seat with the other, while the humble phi
lanthropist guided the old horses.
BREECHES BIBLE IN OMAHA
Heirloom Printed In lltno la Preeloaa
Poaeeulon of Mrs. D. C.
Wad.
Prised most highly as an heirloom, which
has been handed down throuKh her family
for centuries, Mrs. B. C. Wade, lfe of the
general secretary of the Young Mcn'i
Christian association. Is the proud pos
seaaor of a "Breeches Bible," which was
printed In 1199, during the reign of Queen
Elisabeth and brought to America by Wii
Ham Staughton In 1793. In contains ihe
apocryphal books, the prayer of Menasseh
and the Psalms In meter.
This book was printed twelve years before
the authorized version of King James was
printed In 1611, and there are supposed to
bo but three volumes in the United Statts.
It is a leather bound volume with the pages
numbered only on one side and is printed
In the ancient Kngllsh type.
Rev. 'William StaUKhton. a Baptist mln
lster. brought the Bible to this country In
the latter part of the eighteenth century,
It descended to his grandson and has been
handed down through Mrs. P. E. Staughton
of Winona, Wis., mother of Mrs. Wade.
Th. book contains family records dating
bock to th. year 1660.
It contains all the books of the old and
new testaments and the books called the
Apocryphia. It also has "the principal
things which are contained In the Bible
after the order of the alphabet." Between
the books of II Chronicles end Ezra ts
found the "Prayer of Menasseh, King of
the Jews." The book of Psalms Is collected
into English meter by Hopkins, Stemhold
and others to be used by the early Chris
tians In their service.
The title page of the new testament la
embellished with the coat of arms of the
twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve
apostles, and reads as follows: "Trans
lated from the Greek by Theod Beta, with
brief summaries and expositions upon the
hard places, by said author, together with
the annotations of Dr. Junius upon the
Revelation of Bt. John Englished by L,
Thompson Imprinted by th. Deputies of
Christopher Barker, printed to th. Queen1
Most Excellent Majeste."
It is not absolutely certain who the first
owners of this book were, but tradition has
It that on. of the early owners was Im
prisoned with John Bunyan at the time he
wrote Pilgrim's Progress.
The Bible is familiarly known as th.
Breeches Bible because in the translation
it speaks of "breeches" instead of aprons,
as in the Bt. James version.
CAPTIVE ARMED WITH KNIVES
Suspected Robber Is . "All Horrent

When Arrested.
James Nolan waa arrested In South
Omaha Friday noon and la suspected of the
burglary of the hardware store of Patton

Thursday night was evidently "burglars'
night." The nocturnal gentlemen visited,

next meeting will be held in Kansas City.
Four subjects were discussed at this first

teachers; how both the superintendent and
principal can be of the most help to the
young and Inexperienced teacher, and the

ing waa a profitable one. He visited the
high school at Kansas City and en route
home stopped at Bt. Joseph and visited
the schools there.

HARBOR USE OF RIVER HERE
Plans Laid Out by Engineers Detailed
Next Week, Says Schulze.
CHIEF OF SERVICE IS IN OMAHA
Tnllc Now Is of Baring- or Balldlns
Bonts Between Omaha and St,
Lonls to Make Showing
to Consrress.
Captain E. H. Schulse. United States en-
Binder, In charge of the Missouri river,
spent Friday In Omaha, and met at th-i
Ccnrmerclal club thoss Interested In opening-
thi Missouri river for navigation.
The engineer In charge am ounced that
engineers and surveyors would he detailed
rext week to establish the harbor line of
the river at Omaha, according to the
specifications of the Wir department.
Beyond this lino nothing may be erected
wlich will Interfere with boats landing, no
garbage may be dumped and no private
enterprises may take possession of the
river.
This announcement wss encouraging to
the officers and directors of the Omaha
and Missouri River Navigation company
ond the members of the Missouri River
Navigation congress.
Captain Schulse assured F. D. Wead,
vice president of the Missouri River Navi
gation congress, that his department wai
ready to go on record as saying that there
would be no trouble in opening the river.
He referred to the stretch of river be
tween Jefferson City and Bt. Louts, Mo.,
which has had an open channel for thir
teen years since th3 government com
pleted its work.
The talk now Is of buying or building
boats which will run regularly between
Omaha and St. Louis, and which will
carry sufficient merchandise to show any
session of congress the demand for a re
vival of river transportation.
Formerly located at Sioux City, the en
gineer In charge of the river has moved
his headquarters to Kansas City, where
there Is most activity In river improve
ment. -
I'ncle Sam Most Move First.
The government will have to make the
first move if we get docks for steamboats
In Omaha," said Dan Baum, Jr., an officer
and director of the Omaha and Missouri
River Transportation company In speaking
of the difficulties experienced by the com
pany. "From South Omaha practically to the
Douglas street bridge, the river front Is con
trolled in such a way that it seems only
the government's right of eminent domain
will secure docks for any transportation
company. 1
"But the organization started In Omaha
a year ago, la not a dead letter by any
means. Omaha business men are simply
not willing to plunge In and spend a big
lot of money experimenting In river traffic
until the time Is ripe and then the Omaha
and Missouri River Transportation com
pany will not be found In the rear.
"The company raised $10,000 last year, and
has not spent a cent of the money. Not a
cent has been needed and we will not count
on spending money in any such big lumps
as the Kansas City business men, until we
are In a position to secure tne river front
for docks, and know that river traffic
is to be a fart."
Mr. Baum joined at once with F. D. Wead
in the movement to secure members of the
Missouri River Navigation congress to se
cure the necessary material and data to
present to congress next year.
The plans of the local committee of the
Missouri River congress, era to hold a
meeting of the committee at the Commer
cial club next Thursday, which will be
followed by a mass meeting of the busi
ness men and cltlsens of Omaha, who will
hear an address by an able speaker and
be given an opportunity to Join In the move
ment to open the Missouri river for traffic.
OVER HUNDRED ON TRADE TOUR
More Than N'nmher Counted On for
Excursion Probably Will
Mnko Trio.
When Chairman J. H. Taylor of the
finance committee of the trade extension
committee of the Omaha Comerclal club
reported to the committee Friday, It was
to show an unusual Interest In the coming
trade excursion to western Nebraska, Colo
rado and Wyoming. ,
Over a score of business houses of Omaha
have sent applications for reservations,
while many have accompanied the applica
tion with the necessary check and a request
for apartments on the train. The reserva
tions for apartments already have reached
a number which will require the carrying
of one or more compartment sleeping cars
on the trip. f
The Commercial club Is conducting an ac
tive press bureau to give the necessary
news of the excursion to the weekly and
small dally papers along the route and
Commissioner J, M. Guild has organised
a press committee, consisting of himself
and the commercial reporters of threa
Omaha newspapers, which, will supply the
demand for news to the country papers.
The outlook at present Is that more than
100 Omaha business men will leave the city
Sunday evening, May 24, for the trip, which
will require one week. -
