TO TIIE OMAHA DAILY TJEEt WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1902. CONTEMPLATES NO VIOLENCE President Kennedy Auum Police Chief that Order Will Be Maintained. STRIKERS DESIRE TO WIN PEACEABLY Engineer and Flrrnra Sot Espected to Take Hand in Strike at This Time, bat Mar Art Later On. Chief of Police Donahue has become In terested la the pending strike of Uninn Psclflc employe. In rnpnriia to a rumor of contemplated violence bjr the strikers the chief yesterday called Into his office President Kennedy of the Boilermakers' union and others of that organization and held a conference with tho men upon the report which reached him the evening be fore. This conference failed to develop any evidence upon which to base such a re port. The Information which first reached Chief Donahue was that President Kennedy himself had made certain threats against any "scab" who would attempt to take the place of a striking bollermaker at the Union Pacific shops, and then this report was mod ified by the chief's Informant to eay that the threat was not made by President Ken nedy himself, but by one of his associates tn Kennedy's presence. "There Is no syllable of truth In the re port and whoever is the author of It has either deliberately misrepresented facts or lhas been Imposed on by some unreliable party," said President Kennedy after his conference with Chief Donahue. Want to Win on Merit. "We Intend to win this strike on its merits," he continued, "and if we cannot 'win it that way then we will submit to de feat, for one thing Is certain, we have never threatened, contemplated or suggested re porting to violence In any form to gain the struggle. There has not been the remotest jlatcntlon or thought of any forcible or un- ( lawful means on the part of the bollermak jers, I can assure you, and I told the chief the same. I am sure he was thoroughly convinced that our sentiment bad been Talsely represented to him. "The bollermakers regret exceedingly that any such report should have been cir culated, for they have from the first tried to conduct themselves in a manner to incur the least criticism and give the Impression to none that they wanted anything but what they believed was just and fair. We would a thousand times rather lose our contest with the Union Pacific company after a peaceable struggle than to win it by violent means. This is our position, and in all our councils we have urged against any departure from it. I am positive that the rumor which was carried to the chief of police had n6 foundation in fact and was a gross injustice to us." A large contingent of Chief Donahue's Hue coats assembled at the police station at 2 yesterday afternoon in compliance with an order, and after brief communica tion with Captain Her, left for their re spective beats. Among the policemen present were some of the, oldest and most prominent on the force. . Asked If he had ordered the men to as semble to receive instructions to guard against violence by the strikers, Chief Dona ue declared be had not. Position of Engineers and Firemen. I The strike situation proceeds slowly and '(ftuletly. All the men interested are maln jtalnlng strictest secrecy of any plans they anay have. The engineers and firemen, (whose meeting Monday night aroused some suspicion of their Intention to bolt the X7nlon Pacific's operations by refusing to itake out engines not repaired by union (bollermakers, are still at work (ml, accord ing to Master Mechanic Barnum, tbere is !do disposition on their part to strike. I As a matter of fact, the engineers and .Bremen would be acting prematurely to de Jfclde to strike at this stage of the proceed ings, for they have had no occasion as yet jlto run engines that are repaired by non union bollermakers, since there is but one iauch individual In the employ of the com pany and It would be Impossible for this lone workman to repair the engines that Vre now In service. The truth la, as haa been stated, the company fortunately had enough engines In good repair to meet Its (seeds for a limited period when the union bollermakers went out and this period has not yet expired. No engineer or fireman can be found who ,aylll accredit the alleged Intention of either union to strike, yet there Is reason to be lieve that both these brotherhoods may co operate with the bollermakers and ma chinists, should the atrlke reach a stage Where full co-operation was demanded. ! Expect an Early Battlement. According to the opinion of prominent bollermakers themselves, this stage will (never be reached. It Is their belief that the strike will be ended and all questions 'settled within a week. They are still '.convinced, however, that this settlement Win be made favorable to their demands nod that all their number will be restored ito work. The bollermakers resolutely af firm that they will never submit to the partial reinstatement of their union; all the men, old and young, must be taken tack or none at all. "If the railroad can Isjet along without part of our number, It ;an do so without any," was the way one Boilermaker expressed It. j The local bollermakers received word yesterday from Armstrong, where it Is ksala that some or tne m emDert or tneir union had returned to work, that all are gmt. and they assert that this la the case fever the entire system, with the exception l of the lone non-union bollermaker at work ere. The company claims to hare all the lermakera necessary for present de- nds The machinists are not yet ready to de Jclar a strike order and those of their num- Xer who were not let out by the retrench- r ent order Saturday ntgbt are still at work, OIBelala la.

WEIRD SCENEAT DEATH BED Chinamen Chant Prayers as One of Their Countrymen Passes Awif, Surrounded by a dozen of his countrymen, amid their weird cantatlon and prsyers, Joe Lee, Chinaman, died at 3 yesterday morning In bis room at 117 North Twelfth street, after a long Illness of rheumatism. Joe's condition became critical Monday night and as It became known many of his countrymen closed their places of business, hastened to his bedside and remained until the end. While a physician worked over the sick man other Chinamen, who knew nothing of Joe's condition, were asleep In bunks in various parts of the room. These were awakened by the lamentations of the watchers over the death of Joe, and when the undertaker arrived all were in the ut most confusion. The dead man was laid out on the floor and those of his country men who had not been at his bedside when the end came were berating themselves and praying to the great spirit to forgive them. The body was removed to the undertaking rooms of Bralley & Porrance and all morn ing Chinamen have been passing In and out to view the remains. Joe's place of busi ness has been locked and In front of the door sits a silent watcher to see that none enter. While it Is said that Joe was a member of a protest&nt church, the China men are making arrangements to have a funeral according to their own belief. This will occur at the undertaking rooms at I o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Joe Lee was 45 years of age and for thirty years has been In the United States. He was well known and was highly respected by his countrymen. For a number of years he has been running a cigar store at 117 North Twelfth street and Is said to have amassed considerable money. He has a wife and one child In China and haa made frequent trips to his native land. ANOTHER IMPnOTKMEJTT. Chleaaro, Boston and Hew Tork Travel.

Makes, Egyptian, Arabian, LONG TERM IN ONE PULPIT ohn Williami' Twenty-Fifth Anniversary at Hector of Bt, Barnabas. BISHOP WILLIAMS COMPLIMENTS PRIEST Polnta Oat Three Characteristics Which Have Marked the Ministry of Rector of St. Barnabas Reception at lYIajht. The parishioners and friends of Rev. John Williams assisted yesterday In the cele bration of his twenty-fifth anniversary as rector of St. Barnabas Episcopal church. Nineteenth and California streets. He has received many substantial testimonials of the esteem In which he is held by the people of Omaha. Seven hundred dollars n cash was sent to him yesterday by friends who are not members of his parish and the total contributions amount to 11,200, a large part of which will be used toward liquidat ing the debt on St. Barnabas church. Among the gifts were eight large boxes of cut flowers. There was a reception at the parsonage ast night and Sunday morning Rev. Wll- iams will preach an anniversary sermon. Many friends of the rector and family, lrre- pectlve of church affiliations, were present at the reception. Bishop's Tribute to Reetor. Testerday Coadjutor Bishop Williams officiated at holy communion service at St. Barnabas and prior to the service the bishop delivered a brief address to the people. In which he felicitated them upon the long and harmonious pastorate of their rector. "There are three characteristics which have marked the ministry of the rector of St. Barnabas," said the bishop. "First, Ms unflinching courage In declaring the truth as a priest of Ood, without for a moment considering either its popularity In the eyes of the world or its effect upon himself. Secondly, he has realized that the saving of souls does not consist of a fine church, a great parish house or In fussy humanltarlsm, but hi personal minis trations to sln-slck souls as a representative of our Blessed Lord. Lastly, he has ex emplified in his long rectorship of twenty- five years the church's intention that the pastoral relation and the life of the priest should be co-extensive, that what Ood has Joined together let no man put asunder." John Williams Career. John Williams was born In County Kerry, Ireland, In 1835, and came to this country when a young man, locating In Minnesota. He was educated at Falrbault, Seabury Hall, and shortly after finishing the course there was called to Hastings, Minn., to offi ciate as a deacon In the church at that place. A few months later. In 1868, he was ordained a priest by Bishop Whipple of Minnesota, and at once took up the rector ship of the Hastings church, continuing In this capacity for ten years. It was during this time that he received the call to St. Barnabas. At first Rev. Williams was re luctant to accept, deeming It his duty to remain at Hastings, but two years later, the summons having been Insisted1 upon mean while, he came to Omaha, and twenty-five years ago entered upon his present pastor ate. The parish was then 8 years old, Father Betts having been the first priest. During all this time Rev. Williams has not raised a cent for the maintenance of his church through the medium of fairs, so ciables or any sort of entertainment, as he was opposed to this method of defraying church expenses, and bas received only vol untary contributions. STUDY INSTEAD OF PLAY Many; Pablto School Paplls Are Not Taking Their Regular Vacation'. Records In the office of Secretary Burgess of the Board of Education indicate that many pupils of the Omaha schools are not taking advantage of the summer vacation, but are putting in their leisure time study lng either at their homes or In summer schools. Three hundred and seventy text books have been loaned out since the vaca tion began. Of these about one-third are High achool books and the remainder are from the grade schools. The pupil is re quired to deposit the price of the book as a forfeit and when the book Is returned. It it Is in good shape, the money is refunded. Yellowstone National Park. This famous national park offers to the tourist and sightseer more novelties and curiosities than perhaps any other spot on earth. The stage ride from Monlda is through scenery hardly inferior to the park Itself and this ride is one of ths many en Joyments of the trip. The new route to the Yellowstone Is via the Union Paclflo and Oregon Short Line railroads to Monlda, Mont., thence dally by palatial Concord coaches of the Monida & Yellowstone Stage company to all points in the Yellowstone National park.

Representatives of the banks of Omaha and South Omaha were before the County Board of Equalization yesterday to do a little dexterous pounding on the wholesale houses. The glat of their complaint Is that they are raying taxes on one-sixth the fair value of their personal property, while the wholesale houses are paying on about one tenth the fair value of theirs. Bankers Yates, Davis, Drake and others appeared, with the attorneys of their es tablishments, and there was an hour of about as earnest conversation as the board has yet had, the result being nothing more tangible than a promise to duly consider the matter later. One of the commissioners said later to a representative of The Bee that the desire of the bankers seemed to be to have their assessments lowered to a level with that of the wholesalers, but that if the board acted at all In the matter it would raise the wholesalers rather than lower the bankers. For several years the assessors have been leaving the assessing of the bunks' personal property to the board a custom which Is said to have been Inaugurated at the re quest of the bankers. The latter send the board statements of their holdtngs and the board bases the assessments on these. Generally the form of these statements Is similar to that Bled this year by the Omaha National bank, which begins by relating that the statement Is filed to help the board "arrive at the value to be assessed against the capital stock of said bank, and which concludes with this table: Capital stock Sl,0OQ,Qft0.flQ surplus 100,000.00 Undivided profits 14,823.28 Less expenses (94.94, I109.S2, 1308.19) 602.95 14,220.33 $1,114,220.33 172,370.06 One-sixth Less value of real es tate in rwiujflaa county as per at tached list ' 67.9C1.00 $104,409.05 The statement Is to apply to the condi tions of April 1 and is attested April 21 by C. F. McQrew as vice president. JURY HAS THE ROWLEY CASE Judge Gives Instructions to Consider Only the Charge of Forgery. The case of the state against Martin Row ley, former timekeeper at Armour's In South Omaha, went to the Jury at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The jury has only to decide If Rowley Is guilty of forgery, as the Judge took the case from It so far as the second count, that of passing the check, was concerned. The attorney for the defense used this as a lever In argument to the Jury, declaring that between the evidence in this count, which had been considered insufficient, and the evidence In the first count there was only the difference of Charles Saylor's statement that the endorsement on the check shown In court was Rowley's, and Baylor had not qualified as an expert on handwriting. The attorney Instated, also, that Rowley's reported admissions of guilt be not considered, because it Is necessary that the fact of crime having been com mitted must be proved first, and this had not, counsel said, been done. NARROW ESCAPE FROM GAS J. A. Gilbert Is Nearly Asphyxiated at the City Dog - Pound. 3. A. Gilbert, chief dog catcher to Im pounder John Laughland, narrowly escaped asphyxiation with a number of untagged dogs Tuesday and is still suffering from the effects. It happened in the gas cham ber of the new Renalsaant dog pound at Sixth and Webster streets. Fourteen dogs were in the chamber. The charcoal gas was In process of generation. One of the large dogs seemed intent upon celebrating his last hour by rending two or three of the smaller ones and Mr. Gilbert entered the big oven In the Interest of peace. It took longer to accomplish his purpose than ho thought and he miscalculated the speed with which the gas was filling the chamber. "He was limp as a rag when he came oat," said Mr. Laughland, "and I had to walk him up and down for some time to keep him awake." POLICE REPORTER TOUCHED Wise-to-the-World Han Has Oppor tunity to Write Exclusive Story. H. EL Newbranch, who for several years has "done police" on a local paper, and In that time haa written scores of stories about the verdant husbandman coming to town and buying a gold brick, or losing hU money on the "shell" or "dead brother" games, telegraphed his paper yesterday from Qrand Island, where he bad been sent to report the fusion conventions, as follows: Bend me transportation and money to get back home. Have been touched on the train. 11. K. N. It hi understood from a reliable aource that Mr. Newbranch "went against the padlock racket." A detailed account of how it happened and an emphatic denial that delegates to the convention had any thing to do with it, may be expected from his facile pen in due time. C0NFISCATINGSL0T MACHINES Police Officers A1 on Instrnctions to Bring in Gambling; I' Devices. Yesterday afternoon members of the police force began a raid on the proprietors of money-paying slot machines. A doten offi cers were sent out with instructions to con fiscate every money-paying machine they could find. Chief Donahue received a report yesterday that during the last few days many machines had been shipped Into the city and that boys and girls had been in the habit of playing them. It was, for this reason thst the raid Is being made, and it Is ths intention of ' the police to confiscate every such machine In the city. Railway Notes and Personals. E. F.

TAX RAISERS READY TO ACT Heal Estate Committee Will First Attack Tive franchise Companies, INTENDS TO WASTE NO TIME WITH THEM Conference Between Committeemen nd General Manager of Stock Tarda aignlfles Another Dig Increase. The tax committee of the Real Estate ex change has Its ammunition accumulated and will begin Immediately the attack on the county assessment of the five franchlsed corporations of Omaha, the complaints to be filed with the Board of Equalization today. F. D. Weed, chairman of the committee, said yesterday morning: "We shall waste no time with them In this Instance. They know we are fighting for only what Is right and It Is outrageous that they should seek to put straws In the way of plain Justice after they were given such a clear demonstration In the Instance of the city assessment. If we get them assessed by the county in proportion to their assessment by the city we shall be very well pleased, particularly In view of the fact that In pleading before the council some of them sought immunity for large holdings that they alleged were properly for county as sessment. We kept such things In mind and are prepared to uee them now. As an Instance to the point, the wafer company then said that its basin at Florence cost $2,600,000, and yet in the returns of the Florence sssessor we haven't noticed any figure that seemed to Include one-sixth of such a valuation. Corporations Not Alone. "The franchlsed corporations are not the only ones to whom we are giving attention. Our committee has been as active as possi ble and we will be heard from. I will say this much, however, that we find that the ordinary stores, such as are found along Douglas and Farnam streets, are assessed well up In fact, nearly on a level with real estate." From the fact that the tax committee was In session at the Commercial club lato Monday afternoon and gave audience to W. J. C. Kenyon, general manager of the stock yards company, and his attorney, it is In ferred that that corporation Is on the griddle Just now. It was assessed at $16, 600, yet It has Issued $5,760,000 of its $6,000, 000 capital stock and the deduction for real estate could not possibly bring the figure down to $16,600. The situation seems to be that the tax committee has determined to strike for an assessment that makes Mr. Kenyon gasp for breath, and he atka a little time for contemplation. Remark Signifies Big Boost. What the figure Is the committee does not give out at this time, but a hint of Its pro portion was suggested by one of the com mittee members, who remarked that "when a man discovers that it Is proposed to boost the assessment of the property be rep feseuls to ten or twelve lluies the return of the assessor be naturally has to have a day or two to compose himself before he 1b ready to talk of the matter with the boosters." For a few days there has been a pro nounced silence concerning the packers of South Omaha, who are to appear Friday, and this has created a belief that perhaps the packers are planning to do some mag nanimous thing that will expedite matters and remove any cause tor protest. FIFTY CENTS 0NTHE DOLLAR Amount of Dividend Expected by Creditors of Contlnnental Clothing Company. There will be a meeting of the creditors of the Continental Clothing company Jul 1 at the office of Charles E. Clapp In the Bee building for the purpose of electing a trustee for the property of the bankrupt concern. The temporary receiver appointed by the United States district court has disposed of the stock and fixtures and has collected a large part of the outstanding accounts, so that all there remains for the trustee to do is to declare a dividend. Around this dividend there bangs considerable mystery, as the amount of cash which will be on hand Is unknown and there is no certainty as to the amount of claims which will be proved according to the United States bankruptcy law. This uncertainty Is due to the. fact that under the law every creditor who desires to participate In the distribution of the assets of the company will have to return to the trustee all money paid him on account by the bankrupt within four months of the time the bankruptcy was declared. The ac counts of the Continental Clothing com pany show that within the last four months a considerable number of tbe creditors had received some money on account. In many instances the amount received would be practically as much as would come to them from the distribution, and It is believed that a number will not prove their ac counts, preferring to keep what they have received rather than to go to the expense and trouble of making proof. It is ex pected that the funds realized will permit a dividend of 60 cents on tbe dollar. Too Great m fllasu In almost every neighborhood someone has died from sn attack of colto or cholera morbus, often before medicine could Zi procured or a physician summoned. A re liable remedy for these diseases should bs kept at hand. The risk Is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Colto, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has un doubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine In use. It can always be depended upon. HOLDS CARRIER FOR LOSS Wratt Johnson Wants Burlington Road to Settle for Losing Some Freight. Wyatt Johnson says he has a $500 griev ance against the Burlington railroad and he has petitioned tbe county court to let him tell about it and get a Judgment for the amount named. Wyatt says he entrusted $300 worth of his earthly assets to the Burlington for transportation to St. Joseph, which is a town in Missouri, but that the Burlington failed to deliver the goods, notwithstanding he was able and cheerfully willing to pay the freight. He files a schedule of the contents of the boxes shipped and the as sortment Is somewhat diversified.
