BALDWIN MAKES STATEMENT!
Tells glory of Trnnsaetloas Leaning
Is to Arrest of President
Bart.
John N. Baldwin, general attorney of the
Union Pacific Railroad company, gives out
the following prepared atatement relative
to the arrest of Mr. Burt:
"The arrest of Mr. Burt was nothing more
or less thsn an act of maliciousness. There
was not the slightest warrant for It, and
the evidence In the case will show that It
la abaolutely foolish, without foundation,
and made simply for the purpose of keep
ing the public agitated with reference to
the atrlke difficulties. The charge that he
la guilty of depriving these men of their
liberties Is preposterous and absurd. Tbess
men were never deprived of their liberties
for one part of a second and President
Burt bad no more to do with the trans
action than the man In the moon.
"The facia are: On Sunday morning,
August 24. eighteen men arrived over the
Illinois Central for . work In the Union
Paclflo shopa at Omaha. They had been
employed by a labor agency at Indianapolis,

Union Paclflo. Immediately upon their
arrival the men were taken to the hotel

BARITONE IS WELL RECEIVED
Arthnr M. Barton the Feature of Last
Evening's Program nt Musical
' Festival.
The appearance of Arthur M. Burton as
soloist sufficed to attract one of the lar
gest crowds of the engagement ao far -to
the musical festival last night. Fully
1,600 people were there to be charmed by
Mr. Barton's baritone, which, though ex
tremely virile, is mellow and aweet. Its
tlmbre-haa that quality of aympathy which
peculiarly fitted the ballad nature of the
numbers chosen, and the soloist scored an
unquestioned triumph. His second num
ber, "I'll Sing Thee Songs of Araby," wag
most successfully sung. The three songs
on the program were not sufficient to sat
isfy the audience, and as an encore Mr.
Burton gave "Who Is Sylvia" with, ex
treme grace.
Among the instrumental numbers the
grand selection from "Carmen" vied with
the "Reminiscences of Scotland" for pop
ular favor. The latter comprised a med
ley of the beautiful old Scotch airs, such
aa "Annie Laurie" and "Auld Lang Syne."
The aole Wagner number on the program,
however, waa the artistic accomplishment
of the evening. Thla was ''Siegfried's Fu
neral March," and Ita presentation waa the
moat beautiful piece., ot interpretation
shown in any of the. many Wagnerian ef
forts made thus far .hy this .band. The
Italian handling of the doloe paseagea waa
