that port, and that the Japanese coasts
and transport fleet will practically have
to shift for themselves until the . naval
battle is fought.
The principal coast cities of Japan are
well protect! by fortifications and tho
Russian cruisers at Vladivostok, not being
heavily' armored.' could not attack them,
but havoc could be created among the
Japanese transports and commercial ships.
So far as ascertainable Rojostvensky has
no Intention of putting Into Saigon, the
entrance to that port being narrow, but It
IS believed he will remain In the open
re.
It Is learned that the Russian ships have
on board special appliances, constating of
steel brushes attached to a sort of belly
band, which running under the vessel 'can
be used quite effectively to clean the bot
tom. The speed of warships In this way
la calculated to be Increased at least a
knot.
The admiralty Is greatly gratified at the
speed developed by the squadron while
(teaming: across the Indian ocean, which Is
officially figured at nine Instead of eight
knots, as the ships made a detour north
ward In the direction of Jubltll in order to
create the Initial Impression that they In
tended to join Admiral Nebngatoff's divi
sion. Naval men here consider that the
speed attained with such a heterogeneous
aq'iadron Is a remarkable feat and a chin
ing testimonial to Rojcstvensky's capacity.
The admiralty is not harboring any de
lusions on the score of opinions of foreign
experts based upon the theory that Togo's
ships are armed .with guns which were
worn out at Port Arthur, as the officials
here know that there have been heavy
shipments of guns from England during
the, last few months.

Ready to Art.
G. W. Wattles, In addition to the numer

a goveronr of Ak-Sar-Ben. He was the
second one of the. nominees to fill the
vacancies caused by the resignation of
Thomas A. Fry and C. M. Wllhelm. Mr.
Wattles on.ly deckled to accept the honor
and responsibility yesterday evening. There
are now no vacancies in the board of gov
ernors. The meeting was to have chosen a presi
dent and to have perfected the 1905 organi
zation,' but several of the members were
unavoidably absent, so that this action
was deferred for another week. Sampson
will get out a pointed, circular letter today
to the merchants of the Seven Citioa of
Cibola. warning them that If they want
the parades they had better come down
very liberally with the royalties. The gov
ernors expect to bring 100,000 people to
Omaha this fall during the festivities, and
they believe this Is of much value to the
merchants. In preceding years it has only
been tho carnival which has brought the
Ak-Snr-Ben through without any fUcal
fatality.. The governors believe they should
not be forced to lean on this prop, which
an Inopportune rainy week might melt. "

ARKANSAS INSURANCE WAR
Effort of State to Break I'p the Fire
Trust la Watched In
Omaha.
Omaha fire underwriters are awaiting
with much Interest the test of the Ar
kansaa anti-trust law as applied to fire
insurance. The last Arkansas legislature
passed a law to exclude from doing busi
ness in the state, any and all companies
who are par'ies to apy compact for fixing
or maintaining rates or otherwise controll
ing or restraining the business of fire
Insurance. The local undewrlters fear the
defeat of the companies In the test cases
started against the state would bo the
signal for further legislation of the sort tii
other states. Arkansas, It is pointed out,
ia now without apy adequate fire protec
tion whatever. - If the law shall be declared
constitutional the people of the state will
have to depend on a few weak local com
panies for their fire protection, as none of
the national companies can operate.

MITCHELL READY FOR TRIAL
Oregon Benstor Enters Plea of Not Guilty
to Three Charges Against Him.
HE ALSO FILES PLEA OF ABATEMENT
Waives All Technicalities In Case
Where He la Charged vrlth Ac
cepting Money Irregularly
While Holding- Office,
PORTLAND. Ore., April ll. Judge Bel
linger's court was crowded today when the
time arrived for Senator John II. Mitchell
to plead to four Indictments found against
him by the late federal grand Jury.
In a plea of abatement Senator Mitchell
challenged the acts of the late federal
grand Jury by charging specifically that
Jurors W. Robertson and Carl Phelps, the
original foreman and secretary, respec
tively, had not been legally excused for the
term pending the Investigation; that Jurors
Frank O. Buffum and George Peebler had
been sworn In some time after the grand
Jury had been empanelled; that Juror
Oeorge Qustln was not a citizen of the
t'ntted States; that Jurors FTank Bolter
and Joseph Kssner were not taxpayers as
required by law, and that District Attorney
Ileney was disqualified In many ways, bo
sldes being prejudiced.
The plea of abatement was based upon
the case wherein Senator Mitchell Is ac
cused of accepting pay through the law
firm of Mitchell & Tanner to expedite land
titles before the legal department at Wash
ington In behalf of Frederick A. Kribs. A
demurrer was first filed after a stipulation
between the government and counsel for
the defense that the plea In abatement
should not be waived by the filing of the
demurrer.
Ready for Trial In One Case.
Judge Alfred S. Bennett of The Dalles,
as attorney for Senator Mitchell, announced
that there was a question of moral turpi
tude involved In the case wherein Senator
Mitchell Is accused of accepting $2,000 from
S. A. D. Puter and therefore he would
waive all legal technicalities and be ready
to proceed to trial without delay upon tho
Issues at stake.
Judge Bennett entered a plea of not
guilty for the senator In three of the cases
against him two for conspiracy under sec
tion 6t48 of the revised stntutes and one
under section 1843 for accepting money
while holding the position of United States
senator to expedite title before the land
department.
W. H. Stelwer, president; H. H. Hen
dricks, secretary and treasurer; Clarence
B. Zachary, general manager, and C. E.
Glass, bookkeeper of the Butte Creek Land,
Live Stock and Lumber company, entered
pleas In abatement similar to that of Sen
ator Mitchell, the charges against them
being conspiracy to cover or fence up the
public domain.
District Attorney Heney objected to the
pleas in abatement on the. ground of their
being filed too late. The hearing will be
given Friday.
SERVED AS JUROR, LOST JOB
Employe of Cudahy Company Loses
Situation While Serving;
the Public.
Joseph Madden, who was a Juror in the
Von Haller case, has found himself out of
a Job since the case was ended. He had
been employed in the Cudahy tin shop for
many years and at the time when he was
drawn on the Von Haller panel held the
position of assistant foreman. . Ho had tried
to get excused, but could not, and he has
about come to the belief that his absents
on Jury service for three weeks cost him
his position.
When he reported for work at the
Cudahy plant after his term as a Juror
ended Mr. Madden was told that there
was no opening in the department where
he had been working. He was sent from
one department to another, he says, with
out landing In any place where he could
earn wages and six weeks of Idleness has
rather discouraged his view of the duty a
man owes the state to serve on Juries when
called. He has consulted with Judge Day
concerning the matter, but what, If any,
action is to be taken has not developed.

CHICAGO, April 11. Offering to arbitrate
everything In connection with the Mont
gomery Ward strike, with the exception of
the Garment Workers' grievances, a com
mittee of the Commercial exchange, an or
ganization of Chicago employers, dead
locked, with representatives of the Chicago
Federation of Labor and the Joint Teams
ters' council at the Grand Pacific hotel
this afternoon. The meeting adjourned
with no peace In sight. The union labor
committee, fresh from a conference with
Mayor Dunne, set forth emphatically that
the teamsters were out In sympathy with
the garment workers and that If the
grievances of the garment workers were
not to be considered there was nothing to
arbitrate.'
It waa charged that the Wholesale Tailor
Manufacturers' association had entered into
a conspiracy to bring back former sweat
shop conditions among tho garment work
ers and that the conspiracy had been suc
cessful In New York, Rochester and Phil
adelphia and was being pushed here In
Chicago. Another conference will be held
tomorrow. Neither side appeared hopeful
of results making for peace
Committee Calls on Mayor.
A crisis in the controversy waa looked
for today by both sides, It was Mayor
Edward F. Dunne's first day In office, and
it was said he would be asked by both sides
to arrange an armistice and to act as an
arbitrator of all differences.
Chairman C. P. Gelger of the State
Board of Arbitration called upon Manager
R. J. Thome of the strikebound firm to
day and made formal tender of the good
offices of the board to arbitrate the strike.
Mr. Thome replied that so many Interests
had become Involved in the controversy
that the matter is beyond the control of
Montgomery Ward & Co.
"Our interests now nre the same rs those
of all cltisens who nre more or less de
pendent upon teaming fqr the transaction
of business," said Mr. Thome. "The en
tire controversy la now being handled
from the employers' side by a committee
of employers. Consequently I am unable
to discuss the situation with you."
He referred the would-be mediators to
John G. Shedd of Marshall Field & Co.
Mr. Shedd Is at the head of the employers'
committee.
Strikers Visit Mayor.
A committee representing the teamsters
and the Federation of Labor called upon
Mayor Dunne at the city hall today and
made formal protest against closing of the
streets to union teamsters. They also pro
tested against what they termed the bru
tality of the police. They asserted that
union teamsters are not allowed to drive
on certain streets. Mayor Dunne assured
them that the union teamsters would have
the same privilege of the streets. as anyone
elue as long as they preserved the peace.
The mayor said that he would allow no
discrimination and that union teamsters
and the Ward company teamsters should
have equal rights.
In reference to the charge of brutality
made against the police he told the com
mittee, which was composed of seventeen
members, to file charges in writing with
the chief of police against the offending
policemen. '
Cornelius P. Shea, spokesman for the
committee, snld to Mayor Dunne: "The
teamsters and the garment workers are
ready and willing to submit their griev
ances t3 arbitration and to leave It to you.
The people of Chicago have expressed
their confidence in you and you look good
to us."
A smile overspread the executive's face.
"I am glad to hear you say that," he
said.
Mayor Dunne promised to sit as an
arbitrator on condition that the members
of tho union were law-abiding and peace
able In the strike. The mayor Insisted
that this condition be lived up to, and he
told the union men he would enforce law
and order before he did anything elae in
the matter.
A committee of employers held a con
ference at the Grand Pacific hotel with rep
representatives of the Chicago Federation of
Labor. The employers offered arbitration
of the teamsters' strike at Montgomery
Ward & Co.'s. The labor men refused, un
less the offer should include the Arm's gar
ment workers, who are also on strike. After
a three hours' session the meeting ad
journed until tomorrow without reaching
any agreement.
Riot at Adams Street.
A desperate struggle between police and
teamsters occurred today at Adams and
Market streets. Six loaded trucks from the
Union station freight house, enroute to
Montgomery Ward & Co.'s building, had
Just reaohed the bridge when they were
met by a volley of stones hurled by strike
sympathizers. For fifteen minutes the mob

AT THE PLAY HOUSES.
ENGINE RUN DOWN LITTLE GIRL
Bessie Stevnn Probably Fatally In
jured in Missouri Paclllo
Yards.
Bessie Stevens, the 10-year-old daughter
of II. M. Stevens, corner of Fourteenth
and Ohio streets, waa struck by a Missouri
Pacific yard engine near Thirteenth and
Ohio streets yesterday afternoon at 4:46
O'clock and received injuries that probably
will prove fatal. Her skull was fractured,
a deep cut was made In her right leg above
the ankle and she was otherwise badly cut
and bruised. She was crossing the tracks
between cars on a sidetrack and ran across
the main track Just as the yard engine was
passing.
She was carried to her home In an un
conscious condition, where the police sur
geon and Dr. Hobbs rendered first aid.
She was afterwards taken to the St. Jo
seph hospital, where Dr. Somers removed
a part of her skull about the size of a
silver dollar. The doctors say she has a
bare chance of recovery.
An unusual Incident occurred when the
child was first taken to her home, A large
number of the neighbors assembled In the
room and each one at the same time be
gan praying In loud tones, creating such
an uproar that Just as the physicians ar
rived the child apparently revived and went
Into convulsions, but did not become con
scious. The doctors, after aonre persuasion,
quieted the people on the pia that the
nolsa was adding to the danger of the child,
when they were Informed that It was the
prayers that had revived the child and was
doing her good.

The wonder that Shakespeare ever wrote
"A Winter's Tale" Is Increased by the
wonder that Viola Allen should have se
lected It aa her play for the current sea
son. But ns it was so written and so se
lected the fact will be accepted, and at
tention pa'd to Its presentation. In this re
gard all praise is due the star, for her di
rectors and managers admit tholr Indebted
ness to her for the many little touches
that go to make an excellent production al
most perfect. The text of the play has
been most skilfully adapted to the needs of
the piece, although somewhat additional
might have been exercised without seri
ously damaging the real merit of the piece.
The clowning of Autolycus and the shep
herd is not good comedy, never was good
comedy and never will be good comedy. It
was a bit of buffoonery Shakespeare tossed
to tho popular taste that insisted on hav
ing a bit of horse-play, and here has bten
preserved mainly because it gives the
more Important characters of the play an
opportunity for a little rest. Such textual
emendations as have been necessary to
shorten the action of the piece so that It
can be produced In a single night with an
adequate scenic clnvesture have been made
With reverence and good teaste, so that
whatever literary quality the original may
have had is thoroughly preserved in the
acting version.
Miss Allen essays the double roie oi
llermione and Perdlta, and does both ex
ceedingly well. As the matron she Invites
Polyxertes with a warmth that wouiq nave
swayed an anchorite, and yet did not sur
pass an honest woman's friendly feeling
for her husband's best beloved friend. It
is sufficient to feed tho Jaundiced mind of
Doontes, and move him to such deeds of
manifest. Injustice as his life-long repent
ance could not repair. In the trial Bcene
Miss Allen is beautifully impressive, her
womanly appeal, eloquent In Its simplicity
and directness, being delivered with such
pathetic force and emphasis as to almoBt
make the tragedy real. Tho silence of tho
audience as tho curtain went down on this
tragedy was a notable tribute to the effect
of the ecene. It la a most pleasant transi
tion, to her next appearance, where she
comes on as the daughter of the unhappy
queen. Perdlta Is one of the great poet's
best conceptions, and. Miss Allen not only
acts, but looks the part, seemingly the
very embodiment of youthful Innocence and
unaffected gaiety, as she romps and dances
with Florlzel at the shepherd's merrymak
ing. She knows nothing of courts and cus
toms, and sees no reason why she should
not mate with the youth she loves, and
so gives him her hand as unreservedly as
nature Itself. These are her two really
Btrong scenes, and she easily dominates
the situation without resort to any expe
dients of stage direction. It will not be
contended that either role Is worthy the
seriousness with which she has undertaken
them, but it will be conceded that by her
personality she raises them to a standard
that neither in Itself deserves.
The long cast required for the enact
ment of the play is made up of capable
actors. Miss Zeffle Tilbury most nearly
approaches the lead of Miss Allen,1 and
raises her part of Paulina to a high plane
of excellence. Her denunciation of Leontes
at the time she presents the babe for his
Inspection is most eloquently and effectively
done. Mr. Boyd Putnam does his little
very well. Mr. Young Is acceptable as
Florlzel, even putting some touches of
natural seal Into his lovemaklng scenes,
and Mr. Jewett at times makes the role
of Leontes stand out strongly. The set
ting of the play Is splendid, each of the
numerous scenes being prepared with taste
and skill, while the dumb show that ac
companies the action of the play is re
hearsed to a minute perfection of detail.
It was not a very large audience that
witnessed the opening performance of "A
Winter's Tale" at the Boyd last night, but
It was a discriminatingly Intelligent body,
and the praise bestowed on the star should
convince her of the sincerity of the appre
ciation of those who attended. The play
will be repeated at a matinee this after
noon and again this evening.

who visited It some time ago, suggested
that the Omaha association should profit,
by nn examination of It. '
Mrs. Tilden and Mrs. Harford arc au
thority for the statement that tbe asso

to get a location for the new building.
The women have been rather . hampered
In their work of getting subscriptions for
this work by competition. First, It w:n
the Auditorium for wh:tn they' waited,
and when the Auditorium was out of the
way the Young Men's Christian associa
tion sold its building nnd came into the
field for assistance. Thes tilings have set
back the building preliminaries.
When the matter came up of the pro
posed change In the bads of organization,
all work of getting money for the building
project was dropped. It will now be taken
up. The association has a fund at pres
ent and hns had considerable asslstanca
from men and women of means who have
pledged themselves to contribute to tha
much-needed home. The largest out-of-town
subscriptions Is for $1,000.
