MAY SETTLE LONG STRIKE
Union Leaden Go to New York to Confer
with Bailroad Owners.
PRESIDENT BURT IS CALLED BACK EAST
It la Thoh that Mr. tlarrlman Ilaa
Called Conference In Jltw York
with View to Adjusting
ihe Trouble.
An adjustment of the Union Pacific strike
Bow teems more probable than at any stage
alnce negotiation wore opened between
president Burt and President John McNeil
of the International Brotherhood of Boiler
Makers and Iron Shipbuilders. leaders of
the atrlke are on their war to New York
to meet In council with the heads of their
respective organizations and the men who
control the affairs of the railroad. This
conference has been railed by President E.
H. Harrlman of the Southern Pacific aa a
result of his conference with President Burt
and It Is looked to for a solution of the
problem.
President McNeil was Joined at Kansaa
City by Ed Kennedy and Dave O'Donnell of
Omaha, presidents, respectively, of the local
and district boiler makers' lodges and the
boiler makers' helpers, and proceeded to
Now York; Tom L. Wilson, for the machin
ists, left for Washington to meet James
O'Connell, president of the International
Association of Machinists, before proceed
ing to Now York.
' President Burt, It Is understood, has re
turned to New York after having spent the
last two or three days In Chicago, and will
participate in the conference. No positive
information aa to the president's actual
movements can be obtained from headquar
ters, but It was said there yesterday
that he would not be In the city for several
days. He was to have returned yesterday
and It Is supposed changed his plans to con
form with those of Harrlman, who evidently
called tho later conference after Mr. Burt
left New Tork. There was a report that
Mr. Burt was In Omnha Wednesday, but
this could not be verified. At his residence
the statement was given out that he was
not expected home until Friday.
Striker Are Hopeful.
Strikers now feel little doubt of a settle
ment. They claim that the loaning of en
gine to the Vnlon Pacific by the Southern
Pacific complicated the situation In such a
manner aa to force a settlement or precipi
tate a general strike on the Southern Pa
cific, and this Mr. Harrlman, It Is said. Is
determined to avoid at all hazards. Furth
ermore, since his last trip over the system
President Burt has made statement which
clearly Indicate that he has been deeply 1m
pressed with the necessity of a settlement.
The president committed himself with less
reserve than ever after completing tbia tour
of the road. He went to New York Imbued
with the demoralized conditions of the mo
tive power and the Inability of the com
pany to Improve conditions until peace
waa restored between it and its old em
ployes. He admitted that the company's
engines were gradually falling prey to the
atrlke and that aome action must be taken.
Old railroad shopmen estimate that it will
take the Union Pacific many months to get
its motive power back to normal shape
after the atrlke la settled. Cold weather
has aggravated the situation materially.
WILL PUT UP FIRE"ESCAPES
Ovraero at Bnildlnara Will Comply
with Recent Orders of In
apeetor Carter.
"In response to the notices sent out last
Week I have received a number of replies
assuring ma that the fire escapes demanded
will be placed upon the buildings of the
wrltera Just aa soon as . the construction
companies can get to it," said Building In
spector Carter.
"The equipment for the Her Grand hotel
has been already ordered. The Merchants
hotel has ordered a structural Iron com
pany to go ahead with the work, and the
Windsor hotel will do the same at once.
The Paxton annex proprtetora have signi
fied a willingness to meet all requirements
of the law. The Bemla Omaha Bag com
pany has let the contract.
"From the proprietors of some buildings
I have received no responses to my letters
and shall begin proceedings the first of the
year If they still fall to let me Vnow what
they Intend to do. I realize that escapes
cannot be put up before that date, but the
contract can be let and the work started
as well by these aa by the others who have
responded. They will all receive additional
notices this weak from Deputy State Labor
Commissioner C. E. Watson."
ix the: good old fashioned days.
Powdered Wigs Formed an Important
Adjanet to a Gentleman's Apparel.
It is safe to aa that the majority of bald
men of today would gladly revive the old,
dignified custom If they could. But they
can do the next beat thing to it; that la, to
revive the growth of the hair nature gave
them.
In caaea where the hair root or hair bulb
haa not been completely destroyed by para
altea that Infest It, Newbro'a Herplclde will
do wondera In the way of stimulating the
growth of lifeless and falling hair. De
stroy the cause, you remove the effect. That
la the euccessful mission of Herplclde.

FULL TEXT OF THE ROOT STORY
Original of Tale that Waa Twisted
Into aa Abaard Fake About J.
V. Root of This City.
The full text of the dispatch which was
distorted into the senRatlooal story printed
In a local paper, making J. C. Root, sov
ereln commander of the Woodmen of the
World, of this city the moving figure In
court scene at El Taso, when he was here
in Omaha all the time, aa published aa a
special to the St. Louis Republic, Is as
follows:
Fort 8mlth, Ark., Dee. 22. Miss Agnes
Frlzzel. who has taken a lendlnz nart In
the prosecution of A. C Moot on the
charge of criminal slamler, suddenly Inter
rupted the court proceedings this afternoon
by firing a shot from a revolver, pre-
sumnbly at the defendant. The bullet
tmrcly grazed the head of Colonel lirlz
xolara, leading counsel for the defense,
but did no further damnge.
Hoot fled from the court room quite pre
cipitately and asked to be locked up In Jail
for protection After a brief Imprlaonment
his friends induced him to return to hln
home.
Shortly after the shooting Colonel Hrlz
zolara denounced the court for permitting
such conduct In the court room. A few
I minutes later the colonel had a set-to with
James Frlzzri, a brother of the piaintlrr in
the suit, and they drew their revolvers in
the court room, but bloodshed was averted
by the prompt action of the chief of police,
who was present and disarmed them both.
The men left the building in opposite di
rections, but If they should meet on the
street a killing might follow. Excitement
Is running high and no one can tell what
the night will bring forth.
The trial of tho slander case was called
this morning. N-early the whole of the day
was taken up by the hearing of evidence.
Mips Frizzel sat at the table with her
attorneys and actively engaged In the
prosecution of the rase, not only suggest
ing Important matters to her counsel, but
frequently engaging In the questioning her
self. When all of the testimony waa In this
afternoon the court awked the attorneys
how much time they desired In which to
make their arguments. Miss Frlzzel arose
and replied that the plaintiff desired an
hour and a half. Judge Bryant of the
counsel for the defense remarked that he
pitied the jury If that much time was to be
consumed; that the defense desired only
half an hour.
Miss Krizzell replied that a woman's char
acter was at otake and plenty of time
should be allowed. Colonel Hrlzzolara, who
had been watching Miss Frlzzel, had gone
Into an ante room to warn Root of danger.
As he came out he heard Miss Frizzel's
statement and he loudly objected to any
such remark In the presence of the Jury.
He had scarcely linished speaking when a
shot rang out.
PANDEMONIUM REIGNED.
There waa Instant pandemonium. Every
one in the court room arose and made a
dash tor the doors.
t.'olonel Urlzzulara, seeing a revolver In
the hands of Miss Frlzzel, seized her arm
and wrested the weapon from her before
she could tire a second shot. Instant
they were surrounded by court officers who
eemed to think that the colonel waa try
ing to kill her.
After firing the shot Miss Frlziel became
hysterical and completely collapsed. She
was removed from the court room to her
home, whero her condition Is said to be
serious.
When the smoke cleared away Colonel
Brlzzolara took occasion to denounce the
court In the following language:
'This court through its vacillating con
duct during thla and the Weetfall trials Is
responsible for thla violation of all court
decorum. 1 his court can Impose a tine
upon me for contempt If it so desires.
When Judae Kowe recovered from his
astonishment he replied:
I am not responsible.
Yon are resnonKlble and wholly respon
sible," continued Colonel Urlzzolara, "and
I so assert without any qualification what
ever. You may tine me for contempt if
you want to."
ANOTHER STRUGGLE.
Pnlonel Rrlzzolara. while talking; to Chief
of Police Fuller later on, was approached
bv James Frlzzel, who made inquiry con
cerning the court incident and intimated
that if Colonel Brlzzolara aaid anything
concerning his sister he would be held
personally responsioie.
Colonel Brlzzolara drew a pistol, aaylng
that he had said nothing about Frtxzel's
sister,' but was ready to be held account
able for anything. Frizxel also drewt his
gun.
Chief Fuller disarmed them both and they
departed In opposite directions.
Tha slander suit grew out of statements
made by Root, who was then publishing a
paper here, reflecting on the character of
Mies Agnes Frlzzel.
As soon as Miss Frlzzel fired, Root, find
ing himself unhurt, left the court room in
haste and went to the county Jail, where
he asked to be locked up. Later he was
driven to the home of Colonel Brlzzolara,
his chief counsel.
Colonel Brlzzolara refuses to leave the
street and aa Jamea Frlzzel Is also without
fear there may be trouble between the two
if they meet again.
Miss Frlzzel Is at her home quite 111, the
result of the reaction.
The bullet Just grazed Colonel Brlzzo
lara's head, but the supposition is that
the shot was Intended for Root.
Excitement resulting from the Incident Is
running high.

The announcement by Dr. Rustln that he

GIVES HOPE TO STRIKERS
lYidenoe. of Weakened Motive Powe' of
Union Paoifio Bailroad.
REPORTS OF SEVERAL TRAINS TIED UP
How President Bart's Own Ipeelal
Waa Pnt la tha Hole" for
Twelve Hoars for Xaolc
of Engine.
Eight Union Paclflo freight trains are re
ported tied up between Omaha and Valley.
They have been there for two or three days
and the chances are feood for them being
there two or three daya longer. There are
no engines to move them. It is said that
some of the cara contain perishable goods
and that therefore the loss will be large.
Officials of the Vnlon Paclflo positively
refuse to discuss any matters relating to
their motive power, but it la insisted by
etrikers that the situation haa reached a
point where eomethlng must be done. Fur
ther delay, they hold, ia not only Imprac
ticable, but almost
The eight trains between here and Valley
.am io do only a part of those tied up
on the Union Pacific because there are no
englnea to move them. All this stagnation
la attributed directly to tha effect of the
atrlke, which offlclala of the company so
persistently urged aa late ae a week ago
was ao trifling as to be unworthy of at
tention. When the head of the motive power de
partment stated about a week ago that his
department waa In extra good condition
President Burt's special train waa on a
aiding out west waiting for an engine to
come along and haul it a little further to
ward lta destination. The engine which
had been pulling the president's train had
been detached to carry No. 10J, the new
exclusive fast mall train, weet, which has
orders for the right-of-way above every
thing else. Mr. Burt's special waa "In the
hole" for twelve hours.
Decrease ia Locomotives.
"Although there was a decrease of 8.41
per cent in the total number of locomotives
owned. It will be seen that there baa been
an Increase in the capacity of t.49 per cent,
resulting from the greater capacity of the
locomotives purchssed to replace the lighter
weight Jocomotives placed out of service."
This- )aan extract of the annual report of
the Union Pacific for the fiscal year ending
June SO, 1902. It goes to show that the
company haa reduced the number of Its en
gines, and this smaller number of engines,
of even greater capacity. Is therefore one
explanation of the constantly diminishing
potency of the motive power of the Union
Pacific aa a result of the depression
wrought by this strike of six months. The
waning of the engines hss been more
noticeable since the cold weather Bet In.
"There ought to be a settlement soon,"
remarked a atrlke leader yesterday morn
ing. "Certainly the company will not try to
