15? THE OMAHA DAILY HEE; SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1002. 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.

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. On Nature'! Plan. Colda are quickly cured by Chamber laln'a Cough Remedy..

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 hold out agalnat such conditions as these much longer. The seriousness of the situ ation has never been overdrawn. Mr. Burt himself admitted that when he returned from bis recent trip over the road and Just before he left for New Tork City to con suit with Mr. Harrlman and othera he urged one ot our men not to go over the road again, adding that he had been there once too often already."
