Bel eed in Omaha That Retrench
ment Orders Have Reached Climax
and That No More Men Will Be Re
leased. Omaha, Aug. 24. Lucal interest rel
ative to retrenchment by the railroads
has become overshadowed by the Illi
nois Central strike situation, the cen
ter of which is now hovering over
Chicago, but is rapidly extending out
along the lines to every point where
a man is employed in the operating
department of the road.
Information comes to Omaha that in
and about Chicago and at all other
points where any large number of
men are employed a vote is being
take on the question of whether or
not a strike shall be declared. It Is
said that not only are the men voting
on this proposition, but are also vot
ing on the proposition of forever re
maining out unless their organizations
are recognized by the company.
Illinois Central trainmen coming in
to Omaha are very reticent over the
proRpects of a strike, maintaining that
in the event one is ordered it will be
of long duration.
So far as retrenchment of the
Union Pacific is concerned, it is gen
.ra!lv believed the end has been
reached.
Persons coming from North Platte
state that from that city east to Oma
ha and at least as far west as Sidney
the forces on the sections have, been
reduced to the winter basis, one and
two men being let out on each gang.
, At the Omaha shops, as well as at
other division points on the system,
there are many idle engines, yet the
percentage ia but a fraction greater
than at the same date during previous
years. Still, It is expected that most
of these will go into service during
the next thirty days, hauling commod
ities to market
One reason for laying out freight
trains is the fact that the run of grass
led cattle Is unusually late this year.
During the early part of the summer
the range was extremely dry and the
crass became pretty well burned out.
Cattle failed to take on flesh, but Bince
the rains set in the rat.ge has lm
Droved until it is In prime condition,
Cattle are fattening with wonderful
rapidity and within the next thirty
'lavs there will he trainloads ol them
coming to the Omaha market. 1
Again. This year the farmers, look
ing, forward In anticipation of much
hher prices, have been holding their
wheat, 'this fact has had much to do
with a letting down In the freight
business, causing a corresponding fall
inp off in the offices where train move
ments and the movements of the
ireight la handled. Now the wheat, it
is said, has commenced to move at a
fairly lively rate, and this alone, It Is
predicted, will give considerable im
petus to business.

President Talks on Bloodless Struggle
Against Abuses of Combinations.
Thousands of Old Soldiers in Pa
rade Many Barely Totter by Stand.
Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 24. On the
eve of his forty day swiug around the
circle, on which Republican leaders
expect him to define the Issues for
the campaign of 1912, President Taft
announced himself unalterably op
posed to the "nostrums" of reform
which he declared demagogues and
the oratorical extremists have ad
vanced for the solution of the problem
of concentrated wealth In this country.
'i he president spoke to the veterans
of th Grand Army of t..e Republic
and he found in the struggle which
they went through fiftv ears ago and
the one which he said now confronts
this nation a striking analogy, 1-
though the struggle of today, he de
clared, would be bloodless.
In the end, the president said, the
peace loving, straight thinking people
of the country would be victorious, but
tbe fight itself might be the longer,
because it would be fought to the end
without bloodshed and the roar of the
battlefield.
These new evils, grow ing out of the
concentration of wealtn, and these
combinations, which, properly con
trolled, are a great good In the re
ductlon of the cost of product," said
the president, "have Invited from the
active minded of today suggestions of
remedies that are so extreme that the
medicine to many of us seems worse
than the disease."
Reviews Old Soldiers.
From the moment, he reached
Rochester until he left for Beverly the
president was surrounded by veterans
He stood on a reviewing Btand for
more than two hours in the morning
while thoucands of old soldiers, most
of them In blue, many of them totter
ing along with the aid of friends, filed
slowlv bv. Major General Frederick
D. Grant. Mayor Edgerton and Com
mnnder In Chief Gilman of the Grand
Army of the Republic stood with the
president.
' Peace was really the subject of the
president's Bpecch to the veterans
but he said he could not miss an op
portunity to draw an analogy between
the contests of tbe past and those
of the present and the near future. He
also discussed briefly the general arbl
tnition treaties with Great Britain nnd
France, which the sena'c foreign rela
tlons committee sought to amend and
which nnrt of that, committee label1
breeders of war."

NO matter whether you are slender or stout, you
can have a correct and fashionable figure with
ou padding by means of the "Queen" Coat Foun
dation. Its use eliminates ill-fitting and wrinkled
coats.
The "Queen" adds a permanent form to the garment that is the equal
of the very highest-class tailoring. It is made on an entirely new princi
ple, being moulded under great pressure over the season s latest approved
bust forms. Only a specially pure linen imported canvas duck and the
best French Haircloth are used in the "Queen" Foundation. These ma
terials are all treated with our special cold-water shrinking process, so that
they will positively retain their shape under all weather conditions. A
coat made with the "Queen" will not sag, wrinkle or pucker.
The "Queen" comes ready for insertion in the garment, and adds the
finish and completeness. Made in sizes 32 to 44.

NO CLUE TO STOLEN PAINTIN
Picture May Have Been Taken by Man
Dressed Like Worklngman.
Paris, Aug. 24. I,ouis Lepine, the
prefect of police, frankly admits com
t lete mystification In regard to the
disnppeaiance from the louvre of
Leonardo Da Vinci's most famous
work, known generally as "Mona
Lisa," but popularly called by the
French "I-a Joconde.'
Not a trace of the picture or the
thief has been found. It Is generally
conceded thit even a dull person
would have perceived the impossiblity
of selling a work so well known, and
accordingly psychological explana
tions of the strange case are sought.
The attendants at the Salon Carre,
where the painting had the place of
honor for five yenrs, now tell of hav
ing wondered at the rapt and longing
regard given the portrait by a young
man who during recent weeks fre
tpiently visited the Louvre.
Now the theory Is that this man of
disordered fancy hns abducted "Mona
Lisa" so that he mny have her always
near him. The official belief wns ex
pressed that the portrait was taken
by a person who, disguised as a work
man, entered the museum between 7
and 8 a. m.
