Ia Che Foo Harbor.
CHE FOO, Aug. 19. Persons who were
observing on the coast this morning a
few miles from Che Foo declare that the
Japanese destroyers went Into the harbor
at 6:30 o'clock this morning and hoisted only
one flag when they were going nway.
A small mjcjcjhantman wag seen coming

"This morning seven Japanese destroyers
entered the harbor and met an unknown
'steamer entering, which they captured.
Two Japanese cruisers are outside the

Textual! the dispatch la-as follows:
'; CHE FOOT, Aug.19. This morning seven
Japanese, destryrsjwlered the harbor of
Che Fod. Opposite tho entrance they mot
. an unknown steamer entering and took pos
session nr it. 'ihera am two criiiners

, The dispatch Is so worded as to leavo
In doubt one of the most Important point
, connected,, with the selsure, namely, the
' exact spot at which It took place and
' whether without or within the three-mile
limit . Naval officials familiar with the
.harbor of Che Foo state that there are
two entrances, from opposite directions,
,and It Is inferred from the above dispatch
ih.tUkk T ....... .. , .. 1 .
' through one of these entrances to find the
. unknown steamer . referred to coming
I through the other entrance. The Impres
sion here la that consequently the selsure
' took place within the Chinese territorial
waters. The Incident Is regarded as an evi
dence of the determination ot the Japanese
- naval' office ra to disregard niceties In deal-
lug with this question of Chinese neutrality.
' What the Japs Plan.
' Coupled with the reported refusal of the
Japanese government to release the Rye
ahltelni, also seised In Che Foo harbor, it
Is thought that the selsure Indicates that
while! tba Japanese ferny-,, not assert the right
. of selsur before the international port
of Shanghai, they will not hesitate to at
tack and cut out! any Russian ships that
He la Gha Foo harbor, provided they are
not dismantled to the absolute satisfaction
of Mi Jtna" naval officials.
Some apprehension has been expressed In
. other capitals that these apparent breaches
of Chinese neutrality by Japan may ex
tend to the land operations of the hostile
army. This feeling la hot shared in Wash
ington, and, although the officials will not
"make public the sources of, their Informa
tion on this .petnt, there .'Is reason to be
lieve that they have .been assured by Japa-
. neae and Russia that there will be no ex
tension of the war field beyond Manohurla,
and perhaps Corea, which constituted the
original theater. , " '
1 The danger of a breach of neutrality, so
far as land operations are concerned. Is
said to enter at a'polnt on the border be-

MORE NEW MEN IN TROUBLE
Strike Breakers Oontinne to Oocupj Atten
tion of Police and Detectives.
MISSISSIPPI SHERIFF TAKES HIS PREY
Escorts Bark to gonthland Nfgre Ae
rased of Criminal Assault and
Another Charged with
Burglary. -
Colored strike breakers continue to oc
cupy the attention of the Omaha policemen
and detectives. Several of the police offi
cials have ventured the opinion that It will
be a year before the effects of the present
strike will have been eradicated from the
social fabric of the community, not to say
anything of the other features of the sit
uation. ' '
Sheriff O. W. Price of Talohasha county.
Miss., left at Jl yesterday morning for the
south, taking with him Walter Williams,
wanted for criminal assault at Lafayette
county, Mississippi, and George Fullerlove,
wanted on the charge of burglary In Talo
hasha county, i Both prisoners are colored
and were arrested Thursday morning by
Detectives Maloney and Drummey at the
Cudahy packing plant In South Omaha. -
Jack Johnson, another colored strike
breaker, arrested Friday morning In Omaha
by Detectives Heltfeld and Donohoe on the
charge of being a suspicious character, has
been fined $15 and costs by Police Judge
Berka.
When searched Johnson Was burdened
with a large Colt's pattern revolver, an old
pattern and large enough to be mounted on
wheels. It was at first thought Johnson
wa implicated in the murder of Andrew
Hanson by a man named Isaacs in a pack
ing house row last week, but Investigation
has failed to connect Johnson with the
murder. Johnson says he onme from Los
Angeles to work aa a strike breaker.
Another Strike Breaker Goes lp.
Charles Elliott, colored, giving the ad
dress of Eleventh and Capitol avenue and
occupation that of a strike breaker, has
been sentenced to sixty days in the county
Jail by Police Judge Berka. Elliott was
arraigned In police court on a charge of
assault and battery, the allegation being
that he struck Homer Smith, also colored,
with a whisky bottle, a beer glass and a
piece of asphalt, during an argument in
Levy's saloon Thursday afternoon. Smith's
face was badly cut and his lip and head
also bore evidence of the trouble. Smith
was taken to the police station, attended
by the police surgeon and held as a com
plaining witness. He was discharged in
police court. ' Smith claims the trouble
started when Elliott Insulted one of . his
cousins. Smith says he reoently came from
Worcester, Mass. ' 1
Robert Anderson, colored, claiming South
Omaha as his home, has been fined $8 and
costs in police court. He was charged with
being a suspicious character' and carrying
concealed weapons. When questioned by
the judge he said he expected to serve as
a deputy and bought the revolver "so that
he would be there with the goods" should
he be called upon to servo."
John Scaga of Brockhaven, Miss., col
ored, was fined $6 and costs In police court,'
where he was arraigned oh the charge of
being a suspicious character and carrying
concealed weapons. Scaga' excuse for Car
rying a murdorous looking dirk knife was
that he thought it but a wise precaution
and thought some one might 'harm htm.
A telegram ' was received yesterday
from Los Angeles asking whether Jack
Johnson, .arrested here, is the heavy-weight
prlseflghter recently of Los Angeles. John
son was shown the message and said, that
although he Was from Lb Apuelee he "was
not the' pugilist reerred to. .The Johnson
arrested . here' Is of stocky build, but Is
said to be several Inches shorter than Jack
Johnson, .the heavy weight.:
Leader Are Sanguine.
Leaders at labor headquarter still appear
confident of the ultimate result of .the
packing house strike. Vice President Vail
does not seem to be in the least dis
turbed at the constant rumors regarding
the return of union men to -work. ' Mr.
Vail makes an emphatic denial to such
rumors. He declares that the Amalgamated
association men are standing together and
that the records do not show any depletion'
In the ranks. George Sterrett, president
of the Mechanical Workers' association,
tated yesterday that he was more confi
dent than ever that the strikers would
win In the end. Both of these leaders de
clare that there Is nothing in the situation
to worry about and that It Is only a ques
tion of time when the packer will need
all of the old men.
Several hundred families were supplied
with provisions at the relief store Friday.
There waa no distribution on Thursday on
account of the' failure to secure supplies
ordered. When the store opened yesterday
morning "every shelf was crowded with
groceries and provisions. The distribution
waa larger than usual on account 'of the
one day's yielay- In getting the store 'filled
with fresh supplies. Although the crowd
at the store . was larger than usual, the
best of feeHng prevailed and those who
were drawing supplies declared that they
had no Intention of returning to work until
the; packers reached an agreement satis
factory to the labor leaders.
The fact that the packers are receiving
additional men almost dally doe not ap
pear to alarm the strikers or the labor
leaders. All of the leaders say that It
will take a lot more men of the kind that
are In the packinghouses now to do satis
factory work and that the packers cannot
get along much longer without the aid of
Skilled laborer.
On the Packers' Side.
While the packers declare that they are
making no parttcuar effort at this time of
th week to secure men, some new ar
rivals are noted .every day. . Yesterday
afternoon seven skilled butchers from St.
Paul were taken Into the Swift plant. Cud
ahy, Armour and the Omaha also claim to
be picking up a butcher or two every day.
All of the packers assert that they hav
plenty of unskilled labor and that they
are getting rid pf somejf the undesirable
men every day. This weeding out process
will continue, so It I stated, until the
houses are filled with a fairly good grade
of laborer.
As to there being any noticeable breaks
in the ranks of the union men her the
packers say that evry day a few union
men apply for work. Some are given em
ployment and some are not, so the super
intendent claim.
All of the general managers pf the plants
here say that they do not see sny sign of
a settlement of the strike. They assert
that it will wear Itself out. No decided
break In the ranks of organized labor Is
looked for by the packers for some little
time. The union men who have returned
to work are mostly men of families.
News of sn encouraging nature was re
ceived at labor headquarter lost night
from President Donnelly. It was stated
that Mr. Donnelly would meet President
Mitchell of th miners' ' unions soon and
expected to secure liberal contributions
from this source for the carrying on of
the strike. Money from unions all over
the country Is also expected soon.

"I don't know," replied the court.
"Shure, 'twas because -1 was a drunken

Many' Suffer With Catarrh In
Summer and Don't
Know It.
Catarrh assumes different phase In
different seasons of the year. In the
summer systemic catarrh Is most prev
alent. Thafj, tired, all worn-out feeling
In nine cases out ot ten. Is due to ca
tarrhal condition of the mucous mem
brane. Peruna cleans the mucus and cures
the catarrh wherever located.
Pe-ru-n Not n Cure All.
peruna does not cure everything under
the sun, but It doe cure all catarrhal
afTertlon. A .debilitated condition Is
reached by1 Peruns. ' Peruna reaches th
cause of all catarrhal trouble.
P-ru-na Relieves Catarrhal Ner
vousness, Poor Appetite, Tired
Feelinr, by Building Up Strong
' Nerves.
Peruna' success In the cure of all ca
tarrhal ailments In the United State,
Canada, Mexico, Australia, South Africa,
the Orient, and some of the European
countries, has made It the acknowledged
standard catarrh remedy of the world. It
lias no equal.
The Medicine Worked Like a Charm. .
.Mrs. Ella Embree, Clark, Mo., writes:
"I am feeling better than I have felt' for
year. I can truthfully say that Peruna
Is a woman's friend. I have no more
terrible pains and am stronger than I
have been. Your medicine has worked
like a charm. Four , month ago I did
not think 'I could live long, but thank
to your kind advice end Peruna, it ha
brought me through all right. I shall
recommend Peruna to all my friends who
may be suffering as I did.-, I thank you
very much for your kind advice." . .

Nervous Pro-ritto'p Due to Catarrh.
. Nervous prostration Is so frequently as
sociated with systemic catarrh that some
doctor do not distinguish between the
two. In systemic catarrh the d'sease has
pervaded the -whole system and .there Is
constant loss of vital .fluids .from the
mucous membrane.
Pa-ru-na Contains no Narcotics.
Ooo reason why Peruna has found per
manent use In so many homes is that It
contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna
is perfectly harmless. It can be used
an' -length of time without ' acquiring
a ' drug' habit. Peruna does not produce
temporary results. ' It is permanent in
Its effect. J .
It has no bad effect on the .system, and
gradually eliminates catarrh by removing
the cause, of catarrh. There are a multi
tude of homes where Peruna ha been
used off and on for twenty years. Such
a thing could not be possible If Peruna
contained any drugs of a narcotio nature.

Wool is 'steady' and rather iflrmer on a
quiet buying movement. Woo'en goods are
in fair inquiry, but the higher ta!a Of
.cost Is a bar- to fullest development In,
this line. Little expansion - is shown.' in
the demand for shoe.- - The .scarcity Ot
hides has caused the shutdown of a num
ber of tanneries, and the strength ot the
market is shown7 In leather quotations,
half a cent per pound higher than a month
and 1H cents higher than a year ago.
Eastern shoe shipments are t per cent
smaller for the week and T per cent
smaller for the season than a year ago.
The feature of the iron trade this .week
has been the opening recognition of condi
tions claimed to exist for some time past
In finished products. A wholesale cut in
stcej prices, particu'arly In wire and nails,
ha been .announced and existing ,pools In
some products, notably structural material
and plates, are reported shaky. Light rails
are being cut In price and even some
heavy sections are selling below the $28
standard. Uncertainty as to how far the
cuts will go restricts buying and also af
fects the cruder forms, There is no par
ticular change to note In pig Iron.
