SOLD HIS LIBERTY DEARLY
Joe McMnllen of Kentucky Is Not
Afraid of the Omaha Police
Force.
Joe McMullen, a traveler from Kentucky.
Is usually a peaceable and law abiding
citizen and submits to arrest on a charge
of being drunk and sleeping on a walk
quietly and with a sens of th fitness of
th thing. But when he la set upon by a
violent mob of patrolmen tils' hot southern
blood bolls up and he prepare to sell his
life a dearly as possible. Joe became a
prisoner yesterday afternoon and was
wakened from a refreshing slumber and
assisted Into th patrol wagon and taken
to the city Jail. Ihe prisoner seemed re
signed to hi fate and by th asslstanc
of th guiding hand of Officer Barnes, he
passed Into th jail hallway. But unfor
tunately at the moment he crossed the
threshold, the clock struck 4 o'clock and
th captain shouted "fall In," for the middle
relief. Forty policemen, clubs In hand,
hurried for the door. Joe advancing from
the other end on the arm of Officer
Barnes stopped and lost color rapidly. H
was up against It he could see and was
to be mobbed or lynched. His good Ken
tucky ancestry made him game, however,
and backing up to the wall he struck out
at the nearest of the mob. Patrolman
Barnes' eye receded seven-eighths of an
Inch Into Its socket and then stuck out
noticeably. The desperate prisoner strug
gling gamely against Impossible odds was
carried away to the , receiving cell, and
Barnes carried his eye to th surgeon's
office to have it plsstered.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Bar-airing of Twenty-Fourth Street Perplex
ing Problem for the Council
THOROUGHFARE IN BAD CONDITION
Lack of Fonda aad Delinquency of
Property Orraers on Payment for
Old Asphalt Deters Neces
sary Work of Repair.
The repair of Twenty-fourth street, whose
condition Is pronounced extremely bad, Is
a question that Is perplexing the city
council Just now. City Engineer Beal,
Councllmen Adklns and Welsh, with two
members of the Commercial club. Investi
gated the street and found that the old
pavement was dead and worthless In
places, but how to get at remedying the
defect is the question. No money Is avail
able for the purpose and the property own
ers have scarcely completed payments for
the asphalt which Is condemned. A coun
cilman suggests that broken rock be used
to fill In the holes In the street. As the
city Is without an official rock pile even
this suggestion falls to offer the most sat
isfactory solution.
The work done by the asphalt company
has cost the city 11.500 so far this year.
There was 12,000 appropriated for this work
and It Is surmised that the balance will be
used to buy broken stone and then have the
street department distribute It as needed.
From A to Q street there are 40,000 square
yards of pavement. This was laid in 1801
and 1S!2 at a cost of 1110,967.
To repave the street It will coat from ll.flO
to 12.50 per cubic yard. The cost of repay
ing will depend largely upon the condition
of the base. In some places the concrete
base Is entirely worn away, while In cer
tain blocks It is still sound and can be
used sgaln. From N street south to Q
street the pavement Is In good condition
and only about $50 will be needed to repair
this portion so that It will last for a year
at least. With the bond proposition coming
up the council does not feel like asking for
money to repave the street at the expense
of the taxpayers at large and It Is an as
sured fact that the abutting property own
ers will not sign petitions for the repavlng
at this time.
Hospital Again Habitable.
The Missouri river has subsided to such
an extent that J. D. Homan, the nurse
at the Emergency hospital, was able yes
terday to return to the Institution with
his family. While the high waters came
within six Inches of the door steps of the
hospital It did not wet the floors nor dam
age the property to any extent. Homan's
garden was destroyed, but he has set to
work to replant and expects to get along
all right Just now no patients are quar
tered at the hospital.
Coal Still Scarce.
Vr'lth the packers it is still a hustle for
coal. Some shipments are supposed to be
enroute, but as no trains are coming In
the "coal In sight"- telegrams do not keep
the fires In the packing plants burning,
There is enough coal here now to last for
possibly two days. Unless shipments are
received by that time the packers will be
in as bad. If not worse condition, than last
winter. Even now there is much borrowing
and lending among the packers, in order
that all of the plants may keep running,
Local coal dealers are still doing what they
"an to supply the coal needed, while the
railroads are hustling to get coal here In
order to prevent a shut down , of the
plants. , u

pink and white peonies constituted O-e

palms and ferns scattered about, while th
chandeliers were wound with smllax, from
the center of which huge white Illusion
bows, contributing an airy touch to the
mass of green. Across one corner of the
rear parlor a tall row of potted palms and
ferns formed an effective background for
the bridal party during the service. Sta
tioned outside a window at the foot of the
stairway In the hall, a stringed orchestra
played the "Lohengrin" wedding march ah
the bridal party came down.
From the newel posts, wound with sml
lax and white Illusion, Mr. Louis Nash
and Mr. Lee McShane stretched tho rib
bon across the hsll and the length of the
two parlors, forming an aisle through
which the participants passed: Mr. Burns,
with Mr. Dwlght Swobe of Chicago; Miss
Mary Lee McShane, a cousin of the bride,
as maid of honor, gowned In white ba
tiste and lace, carrying pink and white
carnations; the bride followed, walking
alone, her gown an exquisite lace Importa
tion, over which hung a long tulle veil. The
bride carried bride's roses. Father Brons
geest Of St John's Catholic church offici
ated. Following the wedding, from S to 11
o'clock, a reception was held, Mrs. Mc
Shane and Mr. and Mrs. Burns receiving
together tho 800 guests.
Mr. and Mrs. Burns left last evening for

TO DISCUSS AM HER STRIKE i
anthracite Boards of Mine Workers to Call
a Meeting.
TO BE HELD AT POTTSVILLE, PA JUNE 15
Both Sides Issne Statement as to the
Methods Followed In the Selec
tion of Members of Concil
iation Commission.
WILKESBARRE. Pa., June 3 -The three
anthracite boards of the United Mine Work
ers' union meeting here today decided to
hold a joint convention of miners at Potts
vllle, June 15, for the purpose of determ
ining whether or not another suspension of
work should be declared.
No statement was made beyond the bare
announcement of the Intention of holding a
Joint convention. When District President
Fahey, chairman of the miners' represent
atlvea on the conciliation board, was shown
the statement made In New York by th
operators' members of that board, he said;
There was no meeting of the stockhold
ers of the coal companies called for the
purpose of ppolntlng the operators side
of the conciliation conference, but the rep
resentative of the stockholders, the officials
of the company, met ana seiecieu umr
resentatlves. The mine workers selected
their members, not oy caning a meeting ui
all their members or stockholders, but by
their organisation, through their represen
tatives, who were empowered by the rules
and regulations of their organization, which
noes exist, and as provided by the award
of the coal strike commission. We raise no
question as to the manner In which the
operators selected their representatives and
we at least hoped for the same treatment
at their hands. Our understanding Is that
miners and operators shall stand on equal
footing in every way on the board of con
ciliation. Later this evening a signed statement was
given out by the local representatives of
the coal companies in which they say:
The representatives of the operators have
been appointed fctrlctly within the terms ot
said award and there is no objection on
l heir rart toward cordially accepting
Messrs. Nlcholls, Dettrey and Fahey as the
representatives of the miners, providing

Workers' union, appointed by an executive
committee without authority for such ap
pointment. Position of Railroads.
NEW YORK. Juno I. President Trues
dale of the Delaware, Lackawanna St West
ern railroad, made the following statement
today:
Notther the tone of the proclamation ot
the district presidents of the Mine Work
ers' union, aa It appears In the papers to
day, nor the statements contained therein,
are In any measure Justified by the facts
of the situation as they exist In the an
thracite regions, as I understand them.
The operators, without a single excep
tion so far as I know, are not only will
ing, but extremely desirous of carrying out
the terms of the award of the anthracite
strike commission, not only in spirit, out
to the very letter.
I believe they have absolutely done this
up to the present time, and the only
trouble Is the action of the miners' union
In appointing their representatives on th
conclillatlon board, as they are seeking to
avoid this In the manner which the com
mission very plainly recommended. There
is no occasion for making any threats of a
strike or tleup to settle the point at Issue.
President Fowler of the New York, On
tario & Western road said: "I think ths
situation Is very much exaggerated."
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. June J. President
John Mitchell of the United Mln Worker,
said today:
The refusal to recognise these district
presidents as members of the board of con
clillatlon was In direct violation of the pro
visions made by the recent coal strike com
mission. 1 can t say as to -vhat action will
be tsken If the recognition of these three
memmbers of the board of conciliation la
still refused, and I do not care to say

MALLORY LINE STIRS RIVALS
Puts in Differential from Atlantic Coast to
Omaha Throujh Galveston.
TAKEN AS BANTER AND MAY CAUSE FIGHT
Railroad Men See in Action Serious
Injury to Weatern Ronda and
Think These Ought
to Heslat It.
The Mallory Steamship company hs.
thrown down the gauntlet to the Morgan
coastwise line and tho railroads of the
west which patronize the latter route by
publishing a through tariff from New York
and ababoard territory to Missouri river
points as far north as Omah.i via Oalves
ton, In which it uses a differential con
ceeded to It by other differentials or At
lantic port line, several month, sgo to '
St. Louis via Mobile. The uctlon of tho
Mallory line Is interpreted in certain quir-
ters aa a step toward the demoralisation
of freight rates and therefore an Infi Inte
rne nt upon the Interstate commerce 1 iws
which may be punl.slioJ under the Inter
state or Elklns law. It is expected to
cause serious trouble unless rescinded vary
soon. f
Thj lines mostly affected by this aotlon
ot the Mallory company are the Burlington.
Milwaukee, Illinois Central and Noi thws.u
ern. all prominent Omaha roads. The thiei
latter have the greater grievance, as the
Immediate effect of the Mallory tarltt would
be to divert traffic to that line which these
roads otherwise would get. Thtrercre If
the tariff Is not withdrawn soon it Is
thought these roads may combine and at
tempt to force recession on tho part of
tha Mallory line or institute proittdlng.
for redress through tho courts.
' While the JUallory lino waa Granted a
differential via Mobile to St. Louis, th:.
rate which It now announce for Dm alia
via Galveston, It never has had a differ
ential via Galveston, th port, It la ao In
dustrlously ueeklng to develop. It l una
four steamships a week to that port.
Thl. I. riot the flrs( time trouble of this
sort ha. arisen with the Mallory line. It
ha. frequently clashed of late with differ
ential lines, which have made serious ac
cusations of unfair rate cutting.
As the Southern railway wa. the prime
agent of securing the concession via Mo
bile for the Mallory line, and a. It 1. held
the Mallor line ha. failed to co:i:ins It
self to th advantage, gained under that
concession, certain powers ar seeking to
Impress the Southern with the fact that It
should take the Initiative In bringing the
Mallory Una to Urns and Inducing It to
withdraw It. tariff to Missouri river point,
via Galveston. '
The differential via Mobile to St. Louis
waa granted the Mallory line through tho
mediation of the Southern railway, which
control, the Mobile A Ohio. Thia rate waa
to apply from New York. Baltimore and
Philadelphia. On th first four and most
important classes of articles th rates that
have stirred th differential lines are, first
class, S1.S2; second, 11.06; third. Si cents:
fourth. 62 cents. The comparative rates of
th differential lines are, respectively, 91.37.
11.12, S7 cents and 64 cents.
Obviously, If the differential lines stand
by their rates they will get th short end
of the bargain, for shippers vory naturally
will take th cheapest rates they can get.
In such an event the Milwaukee, North
westsrn and Illinois Central will. It la
pointed out, hsve serious and equal cause
for complaint as they have no Galveston
outlet or connection. With rate by thr.t
port lower than they ar able to make by
all-rail or lake and rati routes It 1. easy
to see where they will come out In the
matter of getting new business or holding
their old.
