Just at thl& time thcro Is not as much
harmony existing among the official * of the
Greater America Exposition as one would
expect to find In an organization of thl
kind. The fact Is that there Is an open
rupture , and It has all been brought about
by reason of the ai > slnlnlty and stupidity
of J n. Kitchen , manager of the Bureau
of Admissions.
Prior to the coming of General Joe
Wheeler and Postmaster General Smith the
members of the executive committee of the
exposition concluded It would be the proper
thing to have a committee of women to as-
olst In entertaining distinguished guests
who may come to the show this summer.
The matter was discussed at length and
the authority to name twenty-five Omaha
"ivomen " ae members of such committee was
delegated to H. J. Pcnfold. a member of the
executive committee and also manager of
the Department of Concessions. He was In
structed to receive twenty-five blank cea-
ton patces and flll In the names of the i
romen selected. Acting under these In
structions he named eight prominent so
ciety women of the city , who assisted In en
tertaining the female members of General
Wheeler's party during th-lr stay here.
Yesterday afternoon 'Mr. ' Penfold wae
considerably surprised when ho visited the
grounds and discovered that at every gale
the names of the clghl women had been
posled and that Instrucllons had been Issued
to the gatekeepers to take the passes up
upon presentation. Mr Pcnfold Imme
diately went to Manager Kitchen , but
Kitchen would give no explanation of his
action. He had merely ordered the passes
up and that wa all that there was about
H. This , however , will not satisfy Mr. Pen-
fold. He will force Manager Kitchen to
explain or else he will resign from the
executive committee.
Willie Mr. Penfold would not dlscucs the
insult heaped upon him , a close friend who
knows all of the facts said "Mr. Penfold
feels the Insult very keenly and realizes
that the action of Kitchen Is another In
stance of the lack of management that
characterizes to many of the departments
of the cxpcsltlon. The women who were
named as members of this entertainment
committee are all wives of the members of
the Board of Governors of the Knights of
Ak-Sar-Bcn , who have been prominently
Identified with the exposition and have
done all In their power to make It a suc
cess. Mr. Penfold feels that he has been
insulted meet grossly by the man In charge
of the .Department of Admissions and he
proposes to rrscnt It. He will demand the
most complete apology , or else he will get
off the committee where he has worked so
hard. However , there Is one thing iipon
which he Is not quite clear. He does not
Vnow whether Kitchen acted through Ig
norance or spite , or both. "
Very Sin nil Attendance.
Friday's weather was of that brand that
Nebraskans expect to experience In early
September. All day fong the sun moved
over a cloudless sky , while a genMe breeze
blew in from the north. During the after
noon there was a slight fall in the tempera
ture and late In the evening the air became
chilly. This chilliness , ho c\cr. was noth
ing as compared with that which the promoters
meters of the fireattr America Exposition
lelt when they counted the cash which rep-
retcnted the da > 's receipts at the gates.
Early In the morn'ng a few people visited
the grounds and during the afternoon others
came In. Then again In the evening some of
the city people wandered out to take a look
at the Illuminations and to stroll along
the Mldwaj.
' .t np time > cserilay were there 100 people
ple on the grounds who had paid their fare.
It Is true that the turnstiles showed an at
tendance of something like 3.040 persons ,
but of this number more than 2.300 were
either employes or else more fortunate ones
who came In on passes. Of the 500 who
paid to visit the ground * 'the exposition
realized but little cash , as a large major
ity of the tickets were handled through
brokers.
A Drnl rrlth Tlckrt Ilrnker * .
A few days ago the exposition management
devised A plan to secure cash and keep the
affair afloat for a short time longer. The
directors managed to Interest a firm of brok
ers and to the members of this organization
they sold 50,000 single admission tickets ,
receiving the sum of S10.090 for the same.
Since the opening day of the show repre
sentatives of these brokers have stood at
the exposition gates continually during the
day , selling tickets to the visitors. They
ha\e managed to do most of the business
and consequently the exposition has realized
little or nothing from the admissions.
Nothing to Drniv n Croud.
It Is no wonder that the attendance was
light yesterday. The fact Is that there was
nothing to draw a crowd. In the morning
there was a promenade concert around the
Lagoon by the Indian band , but this did
not draw for the simple reason that the
organization Is made up of musicians of
the most ordinary class. In fact , and the
officials of the exposition admit , there are a
dozen bands In the city that can furnish
better music. In the evening there was a
concert by Godfreys British Guards ( ? ) .
but , like the Indians , the bo > g In this or

It nan heralded far and wide that the forty
members er coming direct from England ,
where for yearn they had played for the
flower of the English army and that by putting -
ting forth strenuous efforts a leave of six
months had been secured for them that
they might accept a cpeelal engagement at
the exposition here. Later the real facia
rame to the knowledge of a few on the in
side , who alnce then have kept the secret
carefully guarded. The facts are. Godfrey ,
the leader of the band , is an Englishman
and a very good musician. A few months
ago be came to America and desiring to
do feme business started west and organized
a band , picking up musicians wherever he
could flnd them. He procured the regula-
tlon English band uniform and had som
gorgeous nthographs printed After that he
played around In some of the smaller towns
of Kansas , Missouri and Iowa and then
came here with a great flourish of trum
pets , the exposition advertising him as "the
only Godfrey" and * his organlratlon as "the
real thing. " So much for the music.

tast night there was gloom on the Mid
way. Owing to the light attendance at the
exposition during the day none of the con
cessionaires tried to do business In the
afternoon. However , they were filled with
confidence , believing that the 25-cent rate
would bring something of a crowd at night ,
but again they were doomed to disappoint
ment , for the people failed to materialize.
Long before the usual hour for turning off
the lights the Midway was as dark as a
squaw'g pocket and as deserted as a grate-
yard.
Early in the evening Godfrey' * band gave
a concert on the Plaza. On account of the
small attendance the program was cut short
and ended with a display of fireworks.
A few people lingered along the Lagoon ,

Taking everything Into consideration
there was everything to make the promoters
meters of the exposition feel sad and down
hearted. At the meeting of their executive
committee , held during the afternoon , there
was considerable discussion over the needs
of the exposition and how to work up come
enthusiasm. No person , however , ventured
to suggest a plan and the meeting adjourned
with the Important question unsolved.

NEW COMPLAINTS FOR ARSON
Joint Information Acnlntit Znchnrln
nndnthnn < } nn lird nnd Sep-
nrntc One * Filed.
Deputy County Attorney Dunn appeared In
police court Friday afternoon and filed new
complaints against Woolf Zacharla and
Philip Nathan , charging them with arson.
The first complaint , in which the two men
were charged Jointly , was dismissed. Two
complaints are now on file against each man.
One alleges the crime of setting fire to furni
ture in the building at 1207 Farnam street
and the second with firing the building
which is owned by John H. Green.
Zacharia and Nathan were rearrested and
arraigned on the new complaints. They en
tered pleas of not guilty and their hear
ing was set for this morning at 10 o'clock ,
although it is understood that another con
tinuance will be taken , as the state is not
ready for trial. Judge Gordon placed the
bond on each complaint at $700 , making
It $1,400 for each man. Mr Dunn protested
because of the seriousness of the charge , one
of which provides a penalty of from one to
twenty years if the defendant is convicted.
He held the bond was altogether too small.
Judge Gordon said it was practically one
offense , but still Mr. Dunn Insisted that
the bond should be heavier. His honor
finally agreed to raise the bond in each case
to $1,000 , which would make It necessary
for each defendant to give bond In the sum
of $2,000. They said they would have no
more trouble in giving that amount than
the smaller.
Zacharla and Nathan were placed In
charge of the matron pending the filing of
bonds. Shortly after S o'clock their attor
ney. Sifas Cobb , appeared with four orders
for their release , signed by Judge Gordon.
He presented these to Sergeant Bcbout , who
declined to take any action , as Captain
Her. the officer In charge at night , was ab
sent. Mr. Cobb made a formal demand for
the release of the men and then sat around
an hour waiting for the captain , who bad
gone out.
Mr. Cobb was asked for the names of the
signers of the bond , but declined In the fol
lowing words4
"I prefer not to give them to you. Judge
Gordon got one 'roast' this afternoon and
that Is enough for one day. "
Whether or not this meant that the
names signed to the bond would be sufficient
cause for another 'roast' of the police Judge
for Issuing the order Is not known , but U
is understood that men were solicited to >
arpend their names who are not worth a i
dollar.

wheelman , who was quietly pedaling his
way home after his day's work. The rays
of his patent lamp Indicated bis location to j
the drhers of the approaching vehicles and
with this assistance they were able to run
him down with perfect ease. The only se
rious result of the collision was a broken
bicycle and a compound fracture of the right
leg of the wheelman. Fortunately neither
of the vans was Injured. The wheelman

j Because The Bee has had the courage to :
j call a spade a spade the management of the J i
Greater America Exposition haa seen fit to , |
declare war agalnet this publication. The
first step in this direction was taken yester
day morning , when the carriers and newsboys
who handle The Bee were denied admission
to the grounds The next step In this war
fare was taken by the members ot the execu
tive committee. In session yesterday after
noon , when Member Hayden offered a
resolution to the effect that all passes to
the grounds Issued on account of The Bee
be taken up at the gates when presented.
Thin war that Is being waged against The
Bee Is due to the fact that the paper has
seen fit to defend the course of the mayor
and police commission In refusing to issue
a blanket licence for the sale of liquor on
the Midway. Certain members of the man
agement of the exposition have gone so far
as to fay that If they cannot coerce The
Bee Into booming the show they will not
only withdraw their own patronage , but will
seek to induce other business men of the
city to withdraw their patronage from the
paper.
While The Bee has not fought the expo
sition , time and again parties connected
with th * enterprise have sought to draw
the paper Into a fight. They have not only
done this , but they have adopted the most
disreputable methods to bring on a con
flict. Only one week ago last Sunday , when
The Bee devoted several pages of Its Il
lustrated edition to the exposition , G. M.
Hitchcock , who poses as the champion of
the exposition , filed a protest In the Omaha
postofflce against the Illustrated edition of
The Bee going through the malls at the
regular newspaper rates , contending that
It was gotten up for advertising the exposi
tion , and consequently could not be sent
out at regular newspaper rates of postage.
Instead of waiting and taking the matter
up with the postal authorities at Washing
ton , The Bee Publishing company advanced
the sum of J320 to pay the postage , which
at newspaper rates would not amount to
o\er 130.
Almost from the fiay of the opening of the
exposition the managers , or at least a num
ber of them , have done everything In their
power to handicap and harass The Bee. They
have annoyed the newsboys upon the grounds
and have sent partite among subscribers
seeking to Induce them to withdraw their
patronage. They have not only done this
on the exposition grounds , but In the city as
well , and all because The Bee would not
prostitute Itself and declare that the expo
sition Is a. great success , that the buildings
are overflowing with exhibits , when as a
matter of fact , and as Is known to every
body who has visited the grounds some of
them are vacant and others are not more
than half filled.
Up to this time , with the exception of the
Fourth of July , there has been no day when
there has been a corporal's guard upon the
grounds. Since that day there has been no
program of events and no effort has been
made to card features. Simply because The
Be has refused to take hold and by lying
boom this condition of affairs , the men who
are behind the exposition now seek to boy
cott and cripple this paper.
As to exposition passes , the publishers of
The Bee have no disposition to accept any
favors whatever from this enterprise. There
will be no occasion for taking up the passes.
as they are now being collected from the
employes of The Bee and will be returned
to the exposition management this morning.

DEVICES ARE INSUFFICIENT
Gordon Hold * that Police Mn t See
Gambling to Prove Mail a
Common Onmhlcr.
Notwithstanding the fact that the police
took "strippers" and loaded nice from Ed
Coleman when be was arrested , and proved
that he had not done anything for a long
time beyond shooting craps or playing
cards , as was Indicated by his general repu
tation , Judge Gordon discharged the de
fendant on motion of his attorney because
the police were unable to testify that they
bad ever seen Coleman gamble.
Coleman was arrested at a Dodge street
house while playing cards several weeks
ago. He escaped the charge of gambling in
this case because the police did not see
any money on the table. When released by
the court , he was re-arrested and accused
of being a common gambler. This action
was taken because when Coleman was ar
rested the police found three cards known
as "strippers" on his person. These cards
are employed by crooked gamesters 'for
fleecing the Innocent at poker. He also
had two loaded dice In his pocket.
Captain Donahue and Jailer Havey tes
tified to the finding of theee devices upon
Coleman's person , but neither was able to
say be bad ever seen Coleman gamble. Cap
tain Donahue said he had seen Coleman
playing cards. Two card experts testified
that the devices found on Coleman were
used by a certain class ot gamblers for
robbing the unwary.
Coleman said he bad made two trips to
the coast in the Pullman service , and this
was looked upon as sufficient work by the
court to disqualify him as a vagrant. He
averred further that 'he. ' Is working for the
exposition company at the present time , and
It was Inferred from this response that the
work had been given him for the purpose
of saving him from conviction In this case.

EARLY SATURDAYCLOSING
Prominent Hetnller Mn > n Hint There
Are T o Mile * to the Mnoh-
ll ctipil tlncMlon.
"There are two sides to the Saturday
closing movement , " remarked one of the
proprietors of a large retail establishment
"It is claimed that closing at 6 o'clock on
Saturday night Is a metropolitan usage.
This Is not true " Thereupon the speaker
exhibited a large package ot papers con
taining department store and large retail
house advertisements. "The largest clothing
houses In the principal cities are open until
10 p m. . and e\en until 11 o'clock Satur
day. " said he. "This Is true , as you see
by these papers from New York , Philadel
phia. Baltimore. Chicago and other great
cities. While I have nothing to say for
other lines of business. I can , for example ,
call attention to the advertisement of the
Olsen company of Minneapolis , a depart
ment store which remains open until 10
o'clock Saturday night.
"In this connection let me say that there
are many thousands ot unskilled laborers
working at the South Omaha packing houses ,
in the smelting works and other establish
ments who have no other time to buy their
goods than Saturday evening after 6 o'clock.
They cannot get away from their work dur
ing the day. If we are forced to close it
will oily have a tcndenc } to divert trade
to neighboring towns , where stores may be
found open almost at any hour of the day
or night. A great many of the unskilled
laboring men who now spend their money
for clothing and other necessaries on Satur
day night would , if the stores were closed ,
spend that money for drinks and cards.
"Let me assure you that we have no dis
position to ignore the law. We have made
arrangements with our female employes and
have adjusted our working schedule so ns
to divide them Intb shifts and make sure
that no cmplojo works more than the legal
day's time on any day Of course we are
In favor of early closing , at any rate during
the summer months , if not all the year
'round , and we are closed every evening
after 6 o'clock , except Saturday. On that
one day , however , we cannot afford to close
without Incurring serious loss. The Idea
that people who are obliged to ha\e our
goods must buy at some other time If the
store Is closed U not well founded , as ex
perience in other cities has shown "
Knrly Clovlncr.
OMAHA , July 7. To the Editor of The
Bee. As one of the Omaha clergy I offer
my aid most heartily to the "early closing"
movement and "Saturday hrjl holiday" now
being urged in this city.
By the adoption of "early closing" not one
dolFar need be lost nor any of the public in-
con\enlenced in our various lines of Busi
ness and an Inestimable boon will be con
ferred upon the ever obliging and honor
able employes of every house of business in
Omaha.
The public should not Interfere In the ar
rangements between cmplo > er and enfloye.
The great commercial community can "run
Its own business , " but In adjusting such ,
as each concern sees necessary , It Is well
for capital and labor to understand how
the bin ing public feels on these pressing
problems.
As one of the buyers I cannot but ex
press the above opinion.

Representatives ot almost alt divisions ot
the civic and social life of Omaha gathered
In the rooms of the Commercial club last
night to express to Rev. S. Wright Butler
their regret over his impending departure
and to bid him Godspeed wherever he might
go. The earlier part of the evening was
given over to reception and luncheon C.
S. Hayward then called for the attention
of those present to the farewells which
would be made on behalf ot numerous or
ganizations with which Dr. Butler had been
connected
Rev. T. J. Macka ) spoke on behalf ot the
clergy of the city. He referred with feelIng -
Ing to the peculiar hold which Rev. Butler
had upon these with whom he associated
and the effective yet tender and thoughtful
ways he had of reaching their beans.
> W. R. Bennett , for the Knights of Ak-
Sar-Bcn , began with a story , but soon
turned to the more serious side of the oc
casion. He did not confine himself to the
feelings of the members ot that organiza
tion alone , but touched upon those of the
citizens at large , whose Interests Rev. But
ler had served so long1. He declared that
i Omaha was losing1 a great man , one from
whom no one , coming to nsk a favor , had
ever been turned away without comfort.
Cadet Taylor , for the Thurston Rifles , the
members ofwhich could not be present to
bid their old chaplain farewell In person ,
told of the gratitude with which not only
the members of the company , but their
parents as well , thought of Rev. Butler's
kind offices to them. When the company
came home , he said , the boys would find
one wbcae greeting they were looking tor-
ward to not here to welcome them , but
the distance to his new home In the east ,
great though It was to be , would not be
a barrier to keep him from meeting them
again some day. He sincerely hoped that
day was not far distant.
ClnrUnon Ilmril From.
Major T S. Clarkson recalled the strenu
ous efforts Rev. Butler had put torth for
Omaha and the TransmlsslsslppI Exposition
throughout the southern and central states.
The city , he said , would never have been
so widely or favorably Known had It not
had such a man as the one about to leave
to send forth as Its missionary. He had
told the people of other states of the splen
did city and Itn achievements and they had
wondered whether such things could come
out of the west. They had come and had
found that it was all true. There had been
many days. Major Clarkson said , when the
prospect was dark and It seemed that the
exposition must close its doors for lack
of funds. In those times the sturdy hope
fulness and faith of Rev. Butler had brought
the leaders in the enterprise worlds of
comfort.
E. A. Benson , speaking for the Real Es
tate exchange and for the business interests
generally , told In how many ways the city
would realize that Rev. Butler was gone.
When there was an honored gueet to be
tcasted or to be welcomed with that ex
quisite tact which put entertainers and
et-tertained at perfect ease , he would be
missed. When a voice was needed to stir

questions he would be missed , as he would
nicet of all when there waa occasion to
plead with a willing but somewhat heed
less people for a worthy charity. Mr. Ben
son emphasized particularly the valuable
part Rev. Butler had played In the com
mercial life of the city.
I. R. Andrews bade Rev. Butler a regret
ful farewell on behalf of all of his brother
Masons. He told of his first meeting with
him at a Masonic banquet and initiation ,
t-aying that Rev. Butler's Influence had
drawn the Masons of Omaha together in
unity and brothcrlv regard for each other
as they had never been before. They had at
first seen a man of small stature , but as
h > had dwelt among them be had expanded
before them Intellectually , spiritually , fra
ternally and in every way. He was sure
that wherever he might go he would with
the trowel of Masonry lay firmly the cement
of brotherly love- among men.
In conclusion Rev. Butler replied to the
farewells that had been extended to him.
While they might be inaccurate as to ox-
acj facts , he said , in purpose and sincerity
of "feeling they were entirely true and he
gratefully accepted them. He accepted them
as true so far as the honesty of his intent
to serve the city and his people was con
cerned , bec.iiso on this , the evening of
parting ; there could be no trace of false
ness In their words to him. He had come
among them because he bad been straying
among the arbors of God's world seeking
some cool nook In which to shelter himself ,
and the people of this city had opened
their doors wide. He had entered and
been regaled with the greatest liberality
and had enjoyed his life amoug them to the
utmcbt. There had been no sacrifices , no
efforts on bis part. It bad all been made

WHEELMEN WILL ORGANIZE
I'lnn Mnrtrd to Form ( rnrrnl \ nn-
olntlon nnd < _ ' rr > Lninp Orilliinncc
Into rolltlc * .
At a redbot meeting ot the leading
wheelmen of the city held at the Omaha
Wheel club last night the Initiatory steps
were taken toward forming an organization
to include every wheelman In the city and
to act as a unit In matters in whlcb the
rights of wheelmen are invoUed This ac
tion referred particularly to .he bicycle
lamp ordinance and It was the unanimous
sentiment of the wheelmen present that the
fight against this piece of municipal legisla
tion should be carried to the last ditch. It
was contended In several vigorous tpccches
that the ordinance , as It now stands , places
bicycles at an unreasonable disadvantage a ;
compared with other vehicles and that it Is
time the wheelmen made their separate or
ganizations secondary to one big central or
ganization that can act with effect in this
and similar matters.
As far as It was e > olved at this meeting
the plan Is to bring all local wheelmen to
gether In an association at a merely nomi
nal fee. This organization is not to super
sede the clubs already in existence , but is to
serve as a means for securing united action
In cases in which the rights of wheelmen
are Involved. It was also suggested that if
all other means fall a complete organization
should be made by wards with aievs to
taking a hand in munlclp.il politics and se
curing the election of a city council that
will be In sympathy with the wheeling fra
ternity. The details were left unsettled ,
but the committee th'at was previously ap-
point.ed to have charge of the fight against
the lamp ordinance was authorized to pro
ceed to formulate and report a plan of gen
eral organization along the lines suggested.
Then a mass meeting of wheelmen will be
called to complete the Job.
It was also practically decided that the
case now before Judge Baker In which he
intimates that he will sustain the lamp or
dinance shall be carried to the supreme
court without delay.

siderable doubt whether the regiment cac
be held together as far as Omaha. On Iti
way east through NebnwXa the regimen !

that few of the men would resist the tempta
tion to desert the train and see home first.
If it is found that the state Idea must ha
abandoned for the present a demonstration
will doubtless be arranged In connection
with the Ak-Sar-Bcn festivities this fall , at
which time the members of all the volunteer

The regular monthly meeting of the
Transmlssl slppi Exposition directory was
due to meet yesterday , but the only mem
bers of the directory present were Secretary
Wakcflcld and Messrs Llndsey and WIN
helm. As the directory consists of fifty
members , and It takes twenty-six to con
stitute a quorum , no meeting was held Sec
retary Waketleld eald there was nothing to
come before the directory , and he doubts
If a quorum will be called together again
unless some unexpected matter should arise.
About the only business which is at present
being transacted by Secretary Wakcficld
relative to the old exposition is the answer
ing of correspondence most of which Is of
an unimportant nature , and looking after
other mutters of minor moment.
