Attend you, that the Eagles scream." Gathered in awed and worahlpful rever-eui-e In the trl vatic den were the tribe of the order of Eagles, but Independent men they, with their chiefs and talking men, who gave the neck to the superior greatness of the one king, Ak-Sar-Ifen IX, but who kept acred their own gods.

And Nick Halter and Arthur Metx and other worshipers of the god of Eagles were found wanting in endurance at the condyles of the humerus, near where lies ths funny bone. But to the greatest of all In 'the strong city, the ruler under Samson, the honorable Moores, and to a high man of the conspirators against the rule, called in Qulvera Ed of the Howells, came the wracking test In an in quisition as to theory of political economy. And certain of the Eagles proclaimed be fore Samson the imperial one and the Grand Mufti and the concourse of people. First spoke George F. West; then C. N. Robin eon of the sacred men mada speech. A. B. Ritchie made clear as day what are the tribe of Eagles, and the great Mayor Moores told what they are doing, and I. Zeigler recited what they are going to do.

The three Judges of th equity court granted a temporary injunction against th waiters In terms almost Identical with the temporary restraining order issued earlier In the month. The order was modified to a certain extent, eliminating those parts of the former ordT referring to interference by force or violence with the employes of tha restaurants the parts changed being thos forbidden by positive legal enact ments. Considerable discussion followed a sug gestion of John O. Teiser to amend other parts of the order, in which the attorney desired to have the number who might pass the house at one time definitely ststed and to provide that they might inform other persons that the houses are unfair, but use no threats, intimidation or violence tending to keep patrons from the house. The changes were not made. At the hearing the affidavits of William Buthorn. proprietor of Schlits hotel, telling of his refusal to sign the scale cf wages and the walking out of the employes wos submitted.

Huston was to the effect that h has been a resident of Omaha for about ten years and thst during the greater part of the tlm he has been the mansger of a restaurant; that on or about April 30 he was approached by Louis Beatty and asked to Join the Hotel and Restau rant Proprietors' association and the Busi ness Men's association; that Beatty said the unions had become too strong and would have to be broken up and driven out of business; that these associations were or ganized for that purpose; that he asked Beatty what means the members had adopted to preserve the organizations, and whether a cash forfeit would have to be put tip as a guarantee of carrying out the provisions of the agreement, and was in formed that such was not the case; Beatty called his sttenticn to the fact that no person who had signed the scale of the Hod Carriers' union could get material, and said that no one of the restaurants whose pro prietors recognised the union would be ablesi to get a pound of anything to run his busl neaa. There were three affidavits from Horatio K. Hendee, who rwore that he had signed the scale to employ union men and had been refused material by Sunderland Bros. and at the Hull lumber yard, and by reason of inability to secure material from any place in town he had been foroed to break his contract with the union; that at the time he was In Sunderland Bros.' office he heard one of the firm offer to sell goods over the telephone, wit h the understand ing that the material was not to be used in Omaha;- that. May 20, he met one Llnd berg, who Informed affiant that he was a member of the Business Men's association and that if affiant would tell the material men that he was a nonunion man and wanted the material for a nonunion man he would have no trouble In getting It, and that h would bet he could gat it; that th Business Men's association was organised to "bust the unions" and was not a local affair, but an International association.

The affidavit of Charles Hart, business agent of the Walters' union, denies i peclflo ally any part of the affiant in any dis turbances, or any forcible Interference with persons during the strike.

Th wholesale dealers were before the County Board of Equalisation yesterday anC with the agents of tb insurance com panies held the board until 1 o'clock be fore sdjournment wsa taken for noon. The mor Important questions came up over the assessment ot the wholesale grocery houses and these occupied the larger part of the time, not being entirely settled when the hoard passed to other business. TN. H. MrCord appeared for th McCord-Brady company. Edgar Allen for Allen Brothers and C. H. Pickens for the Faaton-Galla-gher company. Each arid every one pro tested against the assessment as returned by the city Board of Equalisation, saying that it waa not only too high at the time, but that It is much too high now. as stocks were much lower at the time of the county assessment than at tha time of the city assessment. They said that much property had been sent to branch houses in other townL and Is tared in those places, reducing the amount to b paid in Omaha. A. C. Harte Joined the grocers in ob jecting to accepting the figures of the city tax commissioner as the value cf the prop erty for the purpose cf taxation, and said th county board should set its own rate regardless of the action of the city tax commissioner. J. P. Connolly said that in the Intrrrsts of falrress, end believing the city Board of Review hart devoted much rare and attention to the matter, he would favor fixing the assessed valuation of all personal property at one-lxth of the amount re turned by the city Bard of Review. Acting on this suggestion, tivon the motion of Mc Donald and with the votes of McDonald, Hofeldt and Connolly, the assessments upon the Paxton-Gallaghcv company ar.d the McCord-Brady company were raised to one aixth of the city assessmenta. Hofeldt left the combination when it came to raising the assessment of Allen Brothers to the same ratic, and voted with O'KeelTe and Harte. I'pon motion of Harte it was de cided to Talse the assessment of Allen Brothers to 2,M0. which is about 3.M0 leas thin one-sixth of the value found by the city. As soon es this motion prevailed Mr. McCord and Mr. Pickens filed formal pro tests against their assessments, cltlr.g the case of Allen Brothers, These protests will be heard later in the week. The insurance companies did not rench a conclusion, th matter being referred to the county attorney for an opinion. The agents decided to visit the county attorney in th afternoon to present their conten tions. The complaints against the Bee Publish ing company, J1S.000; S. Amsteln, tl.600, and the Creamery Package company, tt.OOO, were dismissed. The hearing of the complaint against the American Smelting and Refining company which was to hsve been heard yesterday morning, was passed over until Vednesdny. CHIEF IS AGAINST DYNAMITE Will Arrest All the Dealers Offering Dangerous Fire Crackers far Bale. A complaint was filed In police court yesterday against C. E. Lathrop, 1324 North Twenty-fourth street, charging him with offering for sal, dynamite fire crackers three and one-half inches in length. Lath rop said the explosives had been bought for three-inch crackers and he was there for selling them .4Ue. same way, and in doing so ha did think he was violating the orders of th. -chief of police. Sergeant Cook, who discovered the fact that three and one-naf inch crackers were being sold for three-inch crackers, said that nearly very dealer on North Twenty fourth street was doing the same thing. Captain Mostyn at once ordered an In vestigation and a complaint filed against every dealer In the city who was selling tb three and one-half inch slxe. It is be lieved that a majority of the dealers hav soro of these explosives and the fact that they bought them for the three-inch six will not sav them from prosecution. Chief Donahue cut one of the Are crack ers open and found that it was filled with dynamite instead of powder. He Intends now to stop the sale of the dynamite cracker if it takes the entire police fore to serve the warrants. Yesterday afternoon these dealers were arrested charged with selling firecrackers ever three Inches in length- J A. Hsban, B. G. Bllx. H. F. Reiser and G. W. Boise.

PROPERTY CAN BE PUT TO BETTER USE Railroads May Br Interested in the More Becaaae Tbey Want Addi tional Trackage Property Mayor Moores on Fines. More comment was caused all over the city by the article In Saturday's Bee stat ing that a movement mas on foot to re move the "burnt district" from its present location than by any which has appeared tor a number of months. The announce ment came too late to be the subject of any Sunday sermons, but was very gener ally discussed by both sinners and Faints Sunday, and it was still a very live topic of conversation on the streets and in offices yesterday morning. The sentiment on the subject appears to be practically unanimous to the effect that the district shou'.d be moved from its pres ent prominent location. In expressing this stntlment several men took ' occasion lo say that entirely aside from any moral giounds and for purely business reasons the district should be moved. No city in the United States, It was said, allows Its district to be located on and In full view of prominent thoroughfares, and while such a district will always exist In, every big city Its exlBtence in Omaha at Its present location Is a decided detriment and Injury, particularly so far as strangers are con-, -ctrned. .' - Jt is now hinted that possibly one or mors of the railroads are behind the proposition to move the district, in order thst tha blocks now occupied by It south of Caplto! avenue may be turned Into trackage prop erty. Two roads are now In position to lay tracks to It and two others might, without meeting insurmountable obstacles, do so. Will Have Ke Fines. Mayor Moores said yesterday that all he knew of the matter was what he had lead, and that until it comes before th board he did not care to express an opin ion on it. But on one subject connected with the district Mayor Moores said that he had a very decided opinion to expresa. He had heard several rumors, he said, of eom officer or officers going around saying that tha open houses and houses of assig nation were to be fined 40 every month and that the Inmates were ' to be fined monthly. He had failed to locate the offi cers, but wss trying to do so, and if he found the reports correct, which he doubted. there would be some explanations in order. No such notices have been authorized by th board, and he will oppose to the full extent of his authority. Mayor Moorea said, a return to the old fining system. If It should be carried out over his protest then the fines will be remitted. From a number of opinions on the matter given The Bee these are fair samples: C. E. Bates The houses should cer tainly be compelled to move off our main thoroughfares, such as Douglas street, and from the immediate vicinity of them. J. H. Evans The district, and the houses, are entirely too conspicuous at present, and should certainly be moved. Aalde from that the property they occupy Is too valuable for such purposes. It is naturally business property and should be put to its proper use. Move Asalgnatloa Hon sea. Dr. Pilph Connell It may be well enough to move the district, but first J would like to see the board do what it can do with lesa trouble, and that la move the assig nation houses from Sixteenth, Leavenworth and other stroets entirely . outside any district, B. F. Cochran So long as it is necessary to have a district it should be located as far as possible from the public view. E. O. McUilton As at preser.t located It Is a disgrace to the city and It will be a good move to have it moved to a less conspicuous location. J. Frak Carpenter I have not given the matter any thought, but the proposition is one which does not require time for con sideration. The district should be moved as far as possible from public view. Robert Smith W want to restrain rlc in th city, tut by allom-lng tke district In Its present location, and exhibiting our Jim Dumps' grandchild, sly littl elf, Cfcied, "Grandpa, on the lowest shelf Please put the food I like the best, ' So I can reach It with the rest.
