SLIGHT DECLINE IN FRUIT CONDITION
tale Superintendent Report a De
mand foe School Teachers la
Etrrai of the Sapply
Good Places Vacant.
(From a Btaft Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINE8. April -(Special.) An
officer of Oklahoma In In the city awaiting
the return 'of Governor Cummins. The
governor will be home from Washington
Monday and the officer will then present
to him a requisition from the governor of
Oklahoma for Frank Shcrcllffe, who is
wanted in that state for a murder com
mitted In Juna. 1831. While the requisition
ceitu In every way to be good, there l
one thing that Is likely to stand In ths
way of Its being Issued at once, and that
Is records lr the governor's office here
show that fihercllffe was committed to the
penitentiary In Utah In May of that same
year for some burglary. He was in tha
penitentiary there fur some time. This
will be brought out at the hearing here
Monday before the governor. If there is
simply an error In the Indictment In giv
ing the date It would seem that Shercliffe
would have to go to Oklahoma. The In
dictment Is for murder In the first degree.
Fruit Condition Good.
The report of Wesley Greene, secretary
of tb) State Horticultural society, for the
month of March shows the condition of
fruit, to be slightly below that of the month
before. The difference, however, Is but
1 or 2 per cent. For the- most part the
condition of all fruit is good. The next
report,' which, will be made a month later,
will be on the blossom condition and will
be the most Important report of the year,
as It will tell practically tha alee of the
fruit crop for tha year.
School Teachers Scarce.
According to Superintendent Riggs there
never was a time when school teachers
were as scarce In the state as at tba
present time. He Is dally receiving re
quests that cannot be supplied. "The
vacanclei are as much In the high sal
aried positions as tn the lower grades,"
sslcl Prof. Klggs today. "Kstherville, Os
kalooga, Denlson, Corning, Mason City,
Mount Pleasant and other large places are
looking for superintendents and are un
able thus far to find men of sufficient abil
ity to fill the positions. The schools now
are demanding a more proficient grade
of teachers than a few years ago. This,
for one thing, accounts for the shortage."
Articles of Incorporation.
Articles of incorporation were filed with
the secretary of stats today by the Shenan
doah Knitttlng Mills company of Shenan
doah, with, a capital stock of $30,000. The
articles are signed by L. L. Lyons, Class
Nordstrom, C. W. Schontx, P. H. Wentser
and several others.
Seed Corn Good.
Hon. John Cownie of the Board of Con
trol has completed the test of the seed
corn which will be planted at the state
Institutions. Each institution sent 100
grains from 100 ears of corn. Every grain
Bent from Clarinda and Independence grew,
giving them 100 per cent. The others varied
from 81 up to the record made at Clarinda
and Independence. Mr. Cownie believes
that when the ears are properly selected
before planting practically every grain
planted will grow.

Special UITrrlD.es.
LAMONI. la., April 8. (Special Tele
gram.) Today's business session of the
Latter Day Saints conference was pre-
jslded over by Frederick M. Smith, son and
counsellor to the prophet. The nomina
tion by President, Joseph Smith of Marcus
II. Cook, Iowa; J. A. Grant, Michigan;
John M. Terry, Callforniu, and George A.
Smith. Michigan, to temporarily fill va
cancies in the high council were ratified
by the body.
i The report of Bishop Kclley of the finan
cial standing of the church created much
Interest;, especially that part referring to
Oiaceland college This report shows that
but $4,762.47 remains of debt upon the prop
erty, which is valued at over 844,000.
There was presented a report from a Joint
council, composed of the first presidency,
.the blshoprlo and the quorum of twelve.
, This report favored the running of ths
;colleg by voluntary contributions and rec
'ommended that one day be set apart each
year upon which special offerings shall be
;mtJ for the expenses necessary for Its
proper sustenance. This course Is in re
' allty a compromise, as some , delegates
came to this conference Instructed to vote
'for the expenses of the college to be paid
from the general funds of the church.
'.This plan is strongly opposed by others,
who claim that the college should not
properly be sustained by the tithes. and the
offerings which by laws of tlie church
are specifically for other purposes. After
lengthy ' debate the report of the Joint
council was adopted by an overwhelming
majority.

PLOT
TO RELEASE PRISONER
Des Moines Police Learn of Plena to
Liberate Alleged Xearo Murderer.
DES MOINES. April 8 Police frustrsted
a desperate plot to release Nell Mathews,
the double murderer of Roland Dlgg and
Bert Travis, upon his return by the sheriff
from Houston, Tex., today.
A conversation of the ring leaders in the
plans was overheard by a traveling man,
who hastened to Inform the authorities
here. The plan Included the organisation
of thirty-five or forty colored men, who
were to seise the prisoner as he alighted,
place him in a waiting carriage and make
the escape. The officer and hi man
alighted at an Interurban station and drove
in a roundabout way to the jail, thus elud
ing their Intended captors. Parties sus
pected to be Implicated in the plot were at
the station when the train pulled In, but
the officer and his prisoner were then on
their way to the Jail.

TALKS TO TRAFFIC LEAGUE
Judge Grosscap of Chicago Talks on
Subject of Corporations
at Pittsburg;.
PITTSBURG, Pa.. April 8.-For the first
time In the history of the Traffic league
the three aspects of railroad traffic were
represented tonight In Pittsburg, the great
est tonnage originating point In the world.
The occasion was tha third aniuiflA banquet
of the Traffic club of Pittsburg ,t tbs
Hotel Schenley. Samuel Spencer, JW-ldent
of the Southern railway, spoke of rail
roads; Willis L. King, vice president of
the Jones & Laughllns Steel company of
Pittsburg, represented the Interests of the
manufacturers, and Judge Peter S. Gross
cup of the United States circuit court,
Chicago, upheld the rights of the people,
saying In part:
Speaking to the toast, "The Regeneration
of the Corporation," Judge Grosscup said
in part;
We are now well into the fifteenth year
since the American people started out,
through the Sherman act, and the several
Btiite anti-trust acts,' to destroy the so
called trusts. Are they destroyed? Are
they diminished? Has any one of them,
except from causes arising within Itself,
been destroyed or diminished? True it is
that some of them have been bitted and
reined until they are again in the highways
of the law. Some of them nave voluntarily
como back to the highways of the law.
Some have never departed from these
highways. Some are still at large. But
none that I can recall have been destroyed;
none have succumbed to the full length of
purpose with which, as a people, we started
out to annihilate them. Whatever has been
the success of our policy of measurable
control, the policy of annihilation has
proved a failure a flat, sheer failure.
The reason of this Is not far to seek. A
corporation Is only the individual multi
plied. The so-called trust Is nothing but
the corporation enlarged. In these days,
when enterprises have grown so large that
no single Individual can launch them or
keep them going, the only Industrial ex
pedient that civilization has ..yet found of
massing and co-ordinating the wealth of
the many into one management, unless we
accept socialism as a workable means, Is
the corporation. Socialism has yet to prove
Itself; so that the corporation is civiliza
tion's sole and only way of wielding large
masses of capital. As such, as I have
many times said, the corporation Is here
to stay. The large corporation Is here to
stay. To blind our eyes to this truth Is to
grope In the mountains In the dark.
But you aBk me. How can the course of
things as they are now going be changed?
How can the Individual man be brought
back Into proprietorship? My answer la:
Take the corporation at once and forever
out of the list of suspects. Put the cor
poration, as national banks and trust com
panies are now put, under the supervision
and control of law, to the end that It be
come a faithful steward. Moke it, for in
stance. Impossible for the promoters of the
street railway, the rase I have mentioned,
to have diverted from replenishment the
earnings that under anv honnet adminis
tration ought to have Ron to replenish
ment. That would have been no stretch
of supervision beyond what Is exercised
now In that of banks, Insurance cam pan lea
and savings societies; and It would have
saved the lnvester In these street railway
securities from the financial morass into
which he was led. and the public any
cause for justifiable indignation.
Moke It Impossible to capitalise corpora
tions at figures that can have no purposes
other than that of artlflc-lal and temporary
Inflation an Inflation that on collapse
leaves the victims holding the -bag.
Make impossible the. geologlo capitaliza
tion the capitalization laid in layers, one
on top of the other, the lust kept green for
a little while only by dividends snatched
from the air, or abstracted from the assets,
and then, when the object has been at
tained, allowed to dry up and perish from
the. earth.
The great heart of the world has always
been with the man who works. To him
now, more than at any time In previous
history, is turning also the world s great
brain. All over our country are springing
up examples of labor taken into partner
ship with capital examples of the men
who create and the multitude who carry
out these creations, making common
causes. Make It possible to give corporate
form and governmental security to this
kind of Just and helpful industrial affilia
tion. In short, as 1 hHve Just Bald, take
the corporation out of the list of suspects;
make It medium of ownership Into which
the principles of Justice enter, and the In
stinct of our people, always alert to help
us, man for man, to an Individual Inde
pendence, will do the rest.
There were 475 railroad traffic officers
and Pittnburg manufacturers around the
board. The verdict of those present was
that the discussions were more exhaustive
and comprehensive than at any previous
meeting.
ST. LOUIS MAN IS ARRESTED
Mclntyre, Alias Thoaias, Is Takes la
London Charged with Em.
besBlement.
LONDON. April 8. A man named Mcln
tyre, alias Thomas, of St. Louis, was ar
rested here today on an extradition war
rant charging him with embezzlement In
the United States. Later he was brought
up at Bow street police court and re
manded. Mclntyre admitted that he was convicted
in the United States and jumped his ball,
but he said his bondsmen had 818,000 'be
longing to him, so the surety lost nothing.
Ths prisoner told the magistrate that his
original offense was not extraditable and
that consequently a charge of embezzle
ment was preferred.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Ancient Order of United Workmen Oeti
Ready for Grand Lodge.
PLANS FOR ENTLRTAINING THE VISITORS
At Least a Thousand Will Come la
Wake of the Grand Ledge and
Will Remain for Sev.
i
eral Days.
A meeting of committees of the three An
cient Order of United Workmen lodges was
held last night at the temple for the pur
pose of making arrangements for the ses
sion of the grand lodge of Workmen to be
held here In May. One committee was
named from the general committee to look
up hotel accommodations. The matter of
entertaining about 1,000 visitors for three
or four days Is quite a problem. When this
matter of accommodations wss put to the
committee It was realized at once that
South Omaha was lacking In hotel facili
ties. This committee on hotel accommoda
tions will hustle this week and make some
arrangements and make a report to the
general committee the latter part of this
week.
At the present time Nebraska has S0
lodges, with a membership of about 60,000.
Two years ago, when the grand lodge met
at Grand Island, 600 delegates were In at
tendance. Since that meeting the lodges
have Increased their membership and the
delegates alone named to attend the session
here will number 700. Members of the order
any that not less than 300 Workmen who
are not delegates will attend the sessions.
South Omaha has three Ancient Order of
United Workmen lodges. No. 66 is the
largest, with a membership of 86fl; No. 227
has 400 members, and No. 328, the last one
organized here, has 150 members in good
standing.
All meetings of the grand lodge will be
held at Workmen temple, Twentyflfth and
M streets. Elaborate badges for delegates
are being made and these will be Issued to
delegates as fast as they arrive. In order
to avoid confusion on the date of opening
the convention, May 9. the committee on
credentials will meet on May 8 and be pre
pared to make a report when the first ses
sion of the convention is called to order.
South Omaha merchants will be requested
to decorate their windows with Ancient
Order of United Workmen emblems, and as
many of the business men belong to this
order the request will doubtless be com
plied with.
Those in charge of the entertainment of
delegates expect that a large number will
be accommodated in private families. Some
will stop at hotels In Omaha or with
friends there. It Is thought that there will
not be a great deal of difficulty In provid
ing sleeping accommodations for the visi
tors, but the noon-day lunch and supper
will bo quite a problem. In order to pro
vide lunch and supper the Degree of Honor
proposes opening a restaurant during the
time the convention Is In session.
The convention is expected to be a great
thing for South Omaha, as so many
strangers will visit the city. Among the
entertainments to be provided will be a
banquet at the Exchange hotel. The din
ing room at the hotel will comfortably seat
the delegates and grand officers. Grand
lodge officers will be elected at this conven
tion Jacob Jaskalek has been at the head
of the organization for four years and is a
candidate for a third term.
Buying Sarpy Mill Property.
A deal was closed yesterday, through
George & Co., for the purchase of 163 acres
of ground from Francis Frlckee of Sarpy
?ml .J?' In,erurbn" Land company
Some of this ground was bought for $160
an acre. Surveyors ore now working i
the vicinity of Sarpy Mills, preparing for
the laying out of a large townslte. The old
Sarpy park Is being Improved. Trees arc
being trimmed and grounds laid out for
tennis courts, ball grounds, etc. The In
terurban company proposes making Sarpy
Mills quite a resort and a great deal of
money is to be spent this year in purchas
ing ground, putting up buildings and ma
cadamizing the roads In that vicinity. Other
sales of property in this vicinity will be re
corded soon.
Gas Company Extensions.
Monday morning a force of fifty men In
the employ of the Omaha Gas company
will commence the work of extending
mains. Mains will be laid on the following
Btreeta: B, from Twenty-fifth to Twenty
sixth; B. from Twenty-eighth to Twenty
ninth; Twenty-seventh, from D to E; on
E, from Twenty-eighth to Twenty-ninth;
H. from Nineteenth to Twentieth; Nine
teenth, from G to H; Twenty-fifth, from O
to P; Twenty-first, from S to U. The lay
ing of these mains will be started on B
street and will follow down the list as
given above. Arrangements are being
made by the gas company to lay mains on
Missouri avenue before the pavement is
put down. In case this is done it will save
the tearing up of the pavement to lay
mains later.
Commercial Club Secretary.
On Monday evening the Commercial club
will meet at Workman Temple and elect a
secretary. The proposition of selecting a
permanent secretary came up at the lost
meeting, but it was deemed advisable to
hold the matter over for a few days'in order
to permit those deslriug the position to file
applications. It Js understood that several
applications are now on file and a selec
tion will most likely be made Monday.
Are Yoa One?
Are you one of the people who listens to
the home merchants and their offers and
efforts In the Interest of home patronage?
No doubt you understand you do under
stand every intelligent citizen knows It,
that If South Omaha citizens would buy
ail their goods at home 8outh Omaha would
be the best town on the map; every piece
of real estate would be worth from 40 to
60 per cent more money; there would be
26 per cent more Jobs for th father, son or
daughter than there is today.
Would It cost you more? No, it wouldn't.
Goods are sold in South Omaha today as
cheaply as anywhere In America. Cheaper
by a good margin in many cases than they
are In Omaha.
It's only a matter of getting out and see
ing what the home merchant has to offer.
Bargain results have been so satisfactory
that your home merchant concludes to
broaden the scope of his efforts this week.
Monday will be special soles day1, Wednes
day bargain day and Friday remnant day.
Saturday ws will have a lot of good things
for our Sarpy county friends and the home
people who can't get in any other day.
Come and try results with us, for a time
or two anyway.

Judge Vinsonhaler Hears Farther
Testimony as to Heirs of
booth Omaha Man.
Judge Vlnsonhaler was busy Saturday
morning taking testimony in the case of
the' estate of John Walker, who died' In
South Omaha in the fall of 103. After
Walker's death something like $8,000 was
found In his clothes and trunk, and as he
had no known heirs the county court as
sumed charge of the money. Afterward a
Mrs. Catherine Herr of Boston appeared
and claimed to be a sister of the dead man.
There are also other claimants, oqe being
Isabel Schramm of Canada.
The testimony In the county court Satur
day was given by Father Callahan of South
Omaha and Jeremiah Dee, both of whom
knew Walker during his residence there.
Father Callahan testified that he made up
his .mind Mrs. Herr was a sister of John
Walker before he had been told she made
that claim, because of a strong family re
semblance. Mr. Dee also gave It as his
opinion that the resemblance between the
two was of a decided character.
Testimony Is being taken in this puzzling
ease from time to time as it beenmes
available, but no decision will be rendered
until every means has been exhausted to
Identify the claimants as real heirs of
Walker. Mrs. Herr Is now dead nnd it is
her heirs who are the most prominent
claimants for the estate.

DELCASSE ANNOYS GERMANY
Recent Speech at Paris Kails I'nplras.
antly on Teutonic Ears
at Berlin.
BERLIN, April 8. The speech of tha
French foreign minister, M. Delcasse, in
the Chamber of Deputies yesterdny on the
Morocco situation, in whloh he omitted
again any mention of Germany, Indicating
Blso that France holds to its policy re
gardless of German claims. Is exceedingly
annoying to the German governmental
world. A point of pride appears to be the
only actual barrier between Germany and
France. Chancellor von Buelow has said
that Germany ought to have been coun
seled regarding the France-British agree
ment, and M. Delcasse says France Is will
ing to discuss any misunderstanding that
might occur; but neither makes an offer
which he thinks should came from the
other.
BERLIN. April 8 A dispatch to the
Frankfort Zeitung from Paris says the
German ambassador, Prince von Radolln,
had a long conversation with Foreign Min
ister Delcasse Wednesday. The ambassa
dor called at the Foreign office during the
usual hours for the reception of diplomats.
This Is regarded as indicating that Berlin
is willing to give opportunities for a discus
sion of the Morocco situation although it is
not known whether Morocco was discussed
or not.

FISHERIES BMJL IS PASSED
Newfoundland Adopts Sew Hrsrula
tions Reg-ardlns; American Fish
ins; Boats in Island Waters.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., April 8.-Premler Bond
has moved in the legislature for the adop
tion of a new bill against American fish
ing vessels. It provides that If an' Amer
ican fishing vessel Is found within three
miles of the cost of Newfoundland with
bait, supplies or outfits purchased within
any port of the island the vessel, equip
ment, stores and cargo shall be forfeited.
It also is provided that the task of proving
that the bait, supplies or outfits were not
purchased in violation of this act will
rest on the owners of the vessels. The
bill was opposed by the opposition, under
the leadership of Former Minister of
Finance Morlne, but a division of th?
house sustained the premier by a vote of
19 to 6.
In moving for the adoption of the bill
the premier claimed that the tre.uty of 18i
does not give the Americans the right to
flBh In the bays, harbors and creeks of
that section of the coast, where they were
granted certain treaty privileges. His con
tention was based on the fact that the
treaty does not specifically state that the
bays, harbors and creeks shall be open to
American fishermen.
Leader Morine of the opposition, con
tended that the premier's argument In
support of his measure was untenable and
declared that under the terms of the treaty
the .Americans have the right to land on
the Island and do everything necessary to
secure cargoes of fish for their vessels.
