BIG UNION SERVICE IN SOUTH OMAHA
Afternoon Concert Pri)(rim of Itoril
Italian Band U Made I n of om
here Apnroprlote to the
Occasion.
Yesterday was the time designated for
the commemoration of the first anniver
sary of the death of William McKlnley,
and In nearly all of the churches of the
city the occasion was fittingly observed.
For the greater part the memorial serv
ices took place In the morning at the usual
hour for worship, but In Rome of the
churches special evening services were
held.
In most Instances the musical portion
of the exercises were selected with regard
to Us appropriateness to the occasion, and
those hymns of which the lamented presi
dent was known to be most fond, "Lead,
Kindly Light," "Nearer, My God, to Thee"
and "Abide With Me,", formed a part of
nearly every musical program.
The afternoon program of the musl'j fes
tival was devoted to a program of specially
elected sacred compositions appropriate
to the occasion.-
Those churchos at which memorial serv
ices were held In the morning were the
First Presbyterian, First Methodist Episco
pal, Trinity Methodist Episcopal, flt.
Mark's English Lutheran. Kountze Memo
rial, Tenth Street Methodist Episcopal and
Emmanuel Baptist.
The evening memorial services were at
Plymouth Congregational, Second Presby
terian, Calvary baptist, Hanscom Park
MethodlRt Episcopal and Seward Street
Methodist Episcopal.
Music at First Methodist.
At the First Methodist Episcopal church
yesterday the principal observance of M;:
Klnley memorial day was in the service,
the sermon having no particular applica
tion to that occasion. The musical portion
of the service under the direction of T.
J. Kelly, organist and choirmaster of the
church, was particularly selected and was
In every way appropriate. The pulpit was
occupied by Kev.' J. W. Swan, who has
preached In the First church for a portion
of the tlmesinco the death of Dr. Hirst
and who announced that his temporary
duties In this city would terminate at this
time. Dr. Swan in his Invocation paid a
high tribute,., tbo. memory of President
McKlnley In a respectful allusion to the
example furnished by him to his fellow
men to his .upright and religious life. In
the musical- program were Included tho
hymns "Lead, Kindly Light" and "Nearer,
My God. to Thee," which were favorites
of President McKlnley.
Dr. Swau stated, to the congregation In
an apologetic way that owing to the fact
that he had been suffering from a severe
cold and bad aUo found It necessary to
be out of the city several days during the
last week he had no memorial address pre
pared and would preach a plain gospel
aermon. He selected for his text tho
words: "Ye shall receive power after that
the Holy Ghost is come upon you," and de
voted his discourse to pointing out the
difference in meaning between the words
"power" and "Influence," which he said
were frequently confounded, and laying
particular stress upon the Infinite potency
of the power referred to In the words of
bis text.
At the close of the meeting Dr. Swan
took his farewell of the congregation, ex
pressing his pleasure at having wade mauy
agreeable acquaintances and thanking the
members of the First church for their
courtesy and kindness to him.
At Trinity Methodist.
The McKlnley memorial service at Trinity
Methodist church, under the direction of tho
pastor, Rev. D. K. Tindall, held a large con
gregation Interested. The choir bad pre
tared an especial musical program, which
included an anthem, "Jesus, These Eyes
Have Never Seen," by Schnecker, sung by
ths choir: a duet, "In the Crose of Christ I
Glory," sung by Miss Carlson and Mr. Gra
ham, and a solo, "Thy Will Be Done," sung
by Miss Carlson. The congregation sang
"Lead, Kindly Light." The text of the ser
mon preached by the pafttor was from
Kings II. t: "Show thyself a man." The
speaker said that the life or the late presl
dent showed that he bad fulfilled the re
ulreraeots of the text: that In every walk
of his life he had shown himself a man-
such a man as the American people are
pleased to honor and one whose memory
will remain ever green In the minds of thel:
descendsnts. He dwelt at length upon the
domestic life of William McKlnley: bis lov
Ing solicitude for his Invalid wife, which
never showed Itself deeper than when he
was shot, when his first thought was not for
himself, but for her, and he requested those
near blin to "break the news gently to Mrs
McKlnley."
Referring to the late president as a states
. man, and touching lightly upon the expan
sion policy, Mr. Tindall aaid the people be
lieved him slow to go to war. but when war
was brought upon the country he stood ever
for the policies which would bring the war
to a speedy end to the best Interests or all
concerned. Ths I'nlted States bas a good
thing, and it Is Its duty to carry It to all
the world, especially to the hair-clvlliied
nations or the world. In the best sense
Jesus Christ was an expansionist. McKln
ley was faithful Christian from an early
age, and that this was a key to hia success
u not the only reason for It. He was, at
borne or abroad, always found In the church
at Ita services and was a libel's! giver, doing
all that he could to advance the kingdom
of God upon earth.
A large number of old soldiers were In the
congregation.

pressive tribute to the memory of William
McKlnley. Throughout the city rrom plat
form and pulpit, men or all nationalities
and all screeds lauded the lire and deeds or
the martyred president. Musical services
arranged especially for th occasion added
In a considerable degree to the Impression
made by prayer and oratory. The princi
pal meeting was held In the afternoon at the
First M. E. church, where speakers of na
tional reputation Joined In giving expres
sion to their esteem for the character and
life work or the late president. The church
was crowded to the doors, and hundreds
were unable to secure entrance. The prin
cipal speaker at the meeting was Bishop
Fallows, who said. In part:
"The anarchy which knows no govern
ment and destroys, rather than, unllfts, was
responsible for the death of President Mc
Klnley a year ago. We also have an an
archism of wealth, which Is used, not for
the welfare of mankind, but for its Injury
and oppression. The way to suppress an
archy is to keep in mind the sentiments of
President McKlnley and practice reciproc
ity at home first, and then abroad. Let
there be reciprocity between capital and
labor and a recognition of mutual rights.
Let rights be given to employes as Ameri
can citizens. What a spectacle is made
when a conflict between capital and labor,
men say: 'There is nothing to arbitrate.'
Such action Is akin to lawlessness. If we
carry out President McKlnley's Idea or
Christian reciprocity, however, all will be
well."
Among the other speakers were Dr. W. A.
Waterman or Terre Haute, Ind., and Dr.
Milburn, a brother of John C. Mllburn of

CANTON, O., Sept. 14. There was a gen
eral observance of McKlnley memorial day
in the city which claimed him as Its own.
From almost every pulpit there was refer
ence In prayer or address to blm and his
work. His favorite hymns were used. The
address that attracted moet attention here
was that given by Judge William R. Day,
McKlnley's secretary or state, and a friend
and adviser of McKlnley for years. The
address was delivered in the First Meth
odist Episcopal church, of which McKlnley
was a member. A portrait of the late pres
ident, around which were the folds of the
Stars and Stripes, emblematic of bis patri
otic spirit, was displayed.
In tho Catholic church a special mass was
said and some or the priests made refer
ences to McKlnley, they having known him
personally.
Although deeply conscious or the ract that
Just one year ago her beloved husband died,
Mrs. McKlnley did not vary the program
followed by her for several months. All
days to her have been memorial days. Her
usual trip to West Lawn cemetery was taken
this forenoon and she laid love's offering of
flowers on the casket that contains the re
mains of the nation s martyred chief. Mrs.
Garrett A. Hobart, who is her guest, went
with her Into the McKlnley tomb, and also
laid a bouquet of flowers on the coffin. Their
drive took them to the McKlnley family
burial lots, where bouquets were laid by
Mrs. McKlnley's direction. During the day
there were many visitors at the McKlnley
vault.
J ad are Day's Address.
Judge Day's tribute to his martyred chief
was. In part, as follows: "This tragedy
which fills our hearts with grief has a les
son for the living, and calls upon the law
makers to enforce laws for the suppression
and punishment of those who teach or prac
tice the dreadful tenets of this code of law
lessness and ruin."
Referring to the early life of McKlnley
he said: "From the high school he heard
the call of his country to her sons and at
once stepped Into the ranks as a defender
of the union. His associates In arms, offi
cers !n hia rprlmpnt. included such lawyers
as Hayes and Matthews and their com
panionship. While a valiant soldier he
determined to adopt the legal profession
as his calling should he survive the perils
of war."
Tried to Evade the War.
Reforring to the SpanUb-Amerlcan war
Judge Day said: "He determined to do all
within bla official dutlea to benefit the Cu
ban people, to relieve the strain on our
people, and If possible to accomplish these
ends without an appeal to arms. These
purposes are the key to -his Cuban policy
steadily pursued, with much aceemplUbed
when - the unlooked for happened In the
treacherous anchoring of the Maine, by
which she became the easy prey of ma
licious peisons bent on her destruction. The
president felt he could not look upon a
peaceful settlement which did not involve
the withdrawal of Spain from this continent,
and he promptly advised our minister at
Madrid that only such a settlement would
be satisfactory."
Beauty of Ills Life.
"William McKlnley never consciously
wronged a rellow being," aaid Judge Day.
"It was his rule not only to refrain rrom
inflicting pain, but to scatter Joy wherever
he could. He would step aside from a
march of retreat to assure a weeping mother
who loved the union, that defeat was but
for a day and would be turned into victory.
Steadfast In his trlendship, he would not
swerve rrom loyalty for the glittering price
or the presidency. Enduring the burdens
which came before, during and after the
war, no word or impatience ever escaped
htm and be met the people with a smile
of welcome and a word or encouragement.
He would turn rrom the most Important at
ratrs of atate to give a flower to a little
child, or to say a kindly word to some
visitor tor whom he could do no more. Re
sentments he bad none. He believed life
was took abort to give any of hk time to
cherishing animosity. Sensitive to criti
cism, no one ever heard him utter an un
kind word of another. He met calumny
with silence and unfair criticism with char
ity, his presence was sunshine, never gloom,
an encouraging word dispelled doubt."
In conclusion the speaker said: "If the
youth of the country learn from bis life
that the surest foundation of success is up
right character aud that the path of duty
la indeed the way to glory then Indeed this
great life:
SAYS ROOSEVELT IS CALLED
Keetor at Oyster Bay Preaches Ser
mon Directly Pointing; to the
Preeldent.
OYSTER BAY, L. I., Sept. 14. Rev. Homer
Washburn, rector of Christ Episcopal
church In the presence or President Roose
velt and hts family and a congregation that
ftlled the church to overflowing, preached
a sermon in which he devoted considerable
attention to "possibility or danger coming
by and through the unguarded use ot great
wealth concentrated in the hands ot a
few." and of which he also atsted that "If
ever circumstances indicated that one was
placed providentially In the executive chair
of the nation, then the circumstances that
attended the promotion of Mr. Roosevelt
so indicated." Today waa the first anni
versary of the death of President McKlnley
and the president had requested Mr. Wash
burn to bold memorial services. The. an
nouncement that this would be done and
that President Roosevelt would be present,
served to draw a large crowd to Christ
church, which the president attenda while
here. The first part or the rector's aermon
was devoted to an eulogy upon the life
and character of the martyred McKlnley
and to this the president listened atten
tlvely. But when in the second part ot the
sermon Mr. Washburn took occaaion to
speak or the possibility or danger coming
through certain trusts, and also to laud
the president, Mr. Roosevelt grew restless,
his face colored and he plainly showed
signs ot disapproval of the rector's utter
ances. At the conclusion of the sermon
bs turned to Mrs. Roosevelt, who sat beside
blm and whlepered "He should not have
done that."
After the services the president stated
that hs had requested Mr. Washburn to
hold memorial services, but that ha had no
knowledge of what the sermon contained
nor bad he any intimation that he would
refer to trusts or to himself. Mr. Wash
burn alao stated that he had prepared the
sermon without consulting any messbera of
tho president's family.
NEITHER SIDE. IS WEAKENING
Both the Miners and Operators Are
Strong to All Outward
Appraraaee.
SHENANDOAH, Fa., Sept. 14. Tomorrow
will begin the nineteenth week of the strike.
The time In which Senator Piatt predicted
that the strike would end has passed, and
the reeling here is that the end is still
tar off. The reiteration by the Coal presl
dents during the week that no Concretions
would be made and the resolutions passed
by nearly all the local unions of the mine
workers, renewing their allegiance to their
officers and pledging to continue the strike
until concessions are granted, show that
neither side to the controversy Is weaken
ing. General Gobln, In charge of the state
troops, encamped In this county, denies
that he is preparing to remove) the troops
at an early date, or that he expects an or
der from the governor to withdraw the
troops. He does not anticipate an order
or that kind until there Is a settlement or
the strike.

body. He said he was walking along the
road leading from Coaldale to Lansrord
when be was assaulted by a number or his
own countrymen. The man's wounds were
dressed at the camp, and he was escorted
to his home.
NEW YORK. Sept. 14. The entire con
gregation or the First Union Presbyterian
church of this city ton'ght at services
voted on and adopted a resolution calling
on the coal operators and miners to end
the strike. The resolntion reads in part:
We demand of the contending parties a
recognition of the rights of the community
and we earnestly request In the Interest
or the general welfare lb it they at once
endeavor to adJiiBt their differences and we
recommend that If they are unable to come
to any agreement among themselves they
submit the matter for final and peaceable
adjustment by arbitration..
In his sermon on "Christ and the Re
ligion of the People," Rev. George Lor
iraer, pastor or the Madison Avenue Bap
tist church, discussed the coal strike. Tho
refusal of the operators to listen to arbi
tration. Dr. Lortmer said, would awaken
the people to speedy action.
Rev. Walter Bcntley In All Souls' church,
talked on the strike subject and he thought
President Roosevelt ought to act.

MAN HUNT IN STANTON COUNTY
La wary Welch Abducts Anna Villa wa at
tba Paint of Revolver.
KEEPS HER CAPTIVE SEVERAL HOURS
Cltlsena Turn Out and Now Have Him
Surrounded In a Cornfield"
Threatens to Emulate
Harry Tracy.
STANTON. Neb., Sept. 14. (Special Tel
egram.) The city of Stanton is Intensely
excited over a sensational abduction which
occurred last night and a large posse of
citizens under the lead of the sheriff is
now engaged In a manhunt which has
every Indication of terminating in a
tragedy.
Anna Villawa, a young woman employed
as a domestic In the family of W. S.
Borner, near the city, was the victim.
She was sleeping In an upstairs room ot
the Borner home, with a little daughter or
her employer. About 12 o'clock last night
she waa awakened by the presence or
someone In her room. It was speedily
made apparent to her that the visitor was
Lowrey Welch, a young man who was smit
ten with her, but whom she had retused
to marry. Welch had placed a ladder to
the window and entered the room.
Welch commanded her to dress Imme
diately and accompany htm. She protested,
but he emphasized his command with a
revolver and also told her that he would
blow her brains out If she made any out
cry. The little Borner girl was awakened by
the conversation and Welch speedily silenced
her by threatening If Bhe made any russ to
kill bcr. Miss Villawa and the little girl's
rather. Frightened out or her wits the llt-
tleone cuddled up in bed and did not dare
to raise the alarm until called this morn
ing by her father.
Carried Her Down Ladder.
In obedience to Welch's command Miss
Villawa dressed and Welch carried her down
the ladder, and this was the last seen ot
her until 1 o'clock this atternoon, when she
staggered into the home or ber brother, two
miles southeast or Stanton. She fainted Im
mediately on reaching the house, but was
soon revived sufficiently to tell of the oc
currences or the night and forenoon, though
prostrated from excitement and the treat
ment she had been subjected to.
After leaving the Borner home, she
stated, Welch had taken her out over the
country, threatening to kill her if she
raised any alarm or attempted to escape.
Bhe had no opportunity to get away from
Welch until about noon, when In the pas
ture of James Brown. While In there Brown
came near them and Welch, fearing they had
been seen and were pursued, gave her the
cl.ance she had been looking for and she
fled, never stopping until reaching the
home of her brother. Brown, In fact, had
not seen the couple and was not searching
for them.
When the alarm was raised by the Bor
ners In the morning : the. farmers in tbe
neighborhood armed themselves and Joined
In. tha chase Word was sent to- town, and
people from Stanton also participated. The
first seen of Welch was by two or tbe search
ing party about four miles southeast of
Stanton. It was then the middle of the aft
ernoon. They sent a boy tor assistance and
made an effort to keep In sight of Welch,
who was armed with a gun In addition to
the revolver he had displayed at the Bor
ner home. They kept on Welch's trail, and
several shots were exchanged between
Welch and his pursuers, none or which took
effect.
Chase Welch Into Cornfield.
Others Joined tbem and they forced
Welch to head toward town. The last seen
of him waa Just before dark when he en
tered a large cornfield. Just across the
river from Stanton.
The sheriff and a posse made an ef
fort to surround the field, but there was
not sufficient force at hand to complete
the circuit at once, but It Is thought Welch
Is still there and will be captured In the
morning.
While Miss Villawa was with him he
showed her his gun, revolver and a plenti
ful aupply of ammunition and made his
brags that in case any posse came after
htm be would show that tbe famed Harry
Tracy was not In It with him. The citi
zens are also amply armed and thoroughly
aroused and unless Welch weakena there
will surely be bloody work when they come
together.

"Death was the result ot a hemorrhage
of the brain, caused by the bursting of a
blood vessel."
This ia the result of an autopsy over tha
body of Earl Caldwell, the Union Pacific
machinist, killed near the ahopyards Sun
day night, aa given out by Dr. W. R. Lav
ender yesterday atternoon. It was also
reported that decedent's skull was slightly
fractured at the base and bis right eye
was blackened, and above the eye was a
straight cut. An Inquest will be held thla
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
As a result of the murder of Caldwell,
which occurred at Twelfth and Cass streets
between 12:30 and 1 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, nine men are under arrest at the city
Jail, two or whom are employes on Union
Pacific contract work and are regarded as
leaders In the fray which preceded Cald
well's untimely death. Other arresta are
expected to follow as a result of state
ments made to the police by the nine men
now In custody. Each has, upon brief ex
amination, submitted what purports to be
his knowledge of the tragedy, and the police
believe that with one exception, the state
ments are substantially correct. All wit
nesses agree that there were sis men In
the party.
Some Incriminating Testimony.
No self-confession or implication of as
sociates has as yet been made, though soma
Incriminating testimony Is In band as a
result of tbe Investigations. John Spell
man confebses that be walked up to Cald
well, dealt htm a Mow which ksnoked him
Into the gutter and then followed that
blow with two others, while his man was
lying In the gutter. According to the testi
mony ot Bpellman and Ball, Caldwell's
companion, Caldwell was unmercifully and
brutally beaten and stamped. Not con
tent with knocking blm down Ball says
that several of the crowd Jumped on Cald
well and kicked blm all over his head and
body. Boll heard his companion groan and
cry, but was unable to reach him, aa others
of the party stood In tha way. Ball Im
plicates Charles Posplsil aa one of the as
sailants of Caldwell, saying ba was posi
tive of bis identification of Posplsil. The
police are of the opinion that Caldwell's '
slayer Is In tbe group of prisoners and it Is
be whose story is doubted. Further and
more conclusive evidence than bas yet
been adduced will be required, however,
to prove this point.
Karnes of Prisoners.
The men under this ban of suspicion is
Michael Spellman, a former boiler makers'
helper In the Union Pacific shops, now a
striker. He lives at 1113 North Seventeenth
street. The other men who have been ar
rested are his son, John Spellman, a laborer
on the Union Pacific shops and was formerly
a bartender at McKenna Bros.' taloon at
Seventeenth and Nicholas streets; Jack Mc
Kenna, also employed on the new Union
Pacific shops, and a brother of F. B. and
W. H. McKenna, proprietors of the saloon;
Charles Posplsil, 504 Popploton avenue, a
former blacksmith In the Union Pacific
shops; John Kerrigan, 1623 Burt street,
blacksmith helper; George L. Perkins, 1842
North Nineteenth street; Ray Chadwick,
Rudolph Lindberg, and John Gordon, 1925
South Thirteenth street.
Stenographic reports have been made of
the statement of each man, including one
by M. W. Ball, the Injured companion of
Caldwell, who, with Caldwell, bad left tbe
shops for a brief visit to the city and waa
assaulted on tbe scenes of Caldwell's death.
From these statements, which are remark
able or their uniformity as to the essential
facts, this story of the fatal deed la gath
ered: Story of tha Assault.
Caldwell and Ball bad been over In towu
on a leave of absence from tbe shops,
where they bad been at work but a short
time. Aa they arrived at Twelfth and Cas
streets on their return they were accosted
by a crowd of men who Inquired tbir
identity and their- business. The non
unionists replied they were working la the
Union Pacific shops, but that tbey bad
only been there about four days and were
then on their way to get their clothing and
luggage In order to leave tbe company's
employ. They told tbe men who atopped
them that they wanted no trouble. Jack
McKenna, stepping out from tbe group of
men, Invited Caldwell and Ball to go with
him to his room, assuring them It waa a
pleasant and comfortable one, and not re
turn to the shops. But ai tbelr clothes
and other effects were to tba shops the
pair Insisted they must return. At this
Juncture the tragedy was precipitated by
John Spellman. who, according to his own
statement, dealt Caldwell a blow on the
Jaw which knocked him to the ground.
One report says that Caldwell was never
again on his feet until placed there by Ball
and a guard from the Union Pacific yards,
but young Spellman says bo got up and
ran toward tbe yards. . At any rate, when
the encounter was over Caldwell was cov
ered with blood and was Unsensible.
Chadwlek's Sensational Charge.
Ray Chadwick Is tbe author of ths sen
sational charge that following tha Initial
blow dealt by his son John, Michael Spell
man finished Caldwell by tbe aid of a
club, which be Is aaid to have wielded with
both hands. The elder Spellman denies
this aud informs the police that about the
time Caldwell was first struck someone bit
him (Spellman) and that he "never come
to, but laid la the gutter" until the battle
was over. He professes to be ignorant
or everything that occurred after the fight
was started. None or tbe other nine of
fered any testimony to substantiate that
of Ppellman's and they say they did aot
see blm knocked or lying down.
As to the club ths police were unable
to find any on the acens of conflict, but
say that Mike Spellman bad a broom han
dle in his possesion when arrested. There
were no firearms brought into service, but
a pair of brass knuckles Is said to aavs
been round upon one or the men.
While Caldwell waa being pelted With
blows that caused his death, his compan
ion, Ball, a alalwart fellow, waa assaile4
