NATURE OF. PARLIAMENT IS IN DOUBT
-o Plan of Action Decided Ipon and
People (iron Weary of Wait
ing, for Official
Action.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 13.-The report
that former Minister of the Interior Prince
Svlatopolk-Mirsky will return to public lite
as president of the rescript commission,
although not officially contlrmed, creates
much satisfaction, as his sympathy
with the principle of popular representa
tion Is well known.
Numberless stories are being printed
abroad giving details of the character,
composition and date of convocation of the
coming parliament. The Associated Press
can state that they are premature. Count
less plans have been submitted, the favor
ite one being a parliament composed from
two sources, an upper houue of'120 mem
bers, half of them to be nominated by the
emperor and ttiaif to be elected by the no
bility, and a lower house of S members
elected by various classes in all parts of
Russia, Including the non-Russian prov
inces. But the commission has not decided
even In principle the nature or composi
tion of the parliamentary body. It is the
delay which has destroyed popular conil
dence In the sincerity of the government
and which led the attorneys' congress to
undertake an active, united propaganda by
all the liberal professions in behalf of con
stitutionalism. The press has won a very considerable
victory in the decision of the press com
mission to remove the censorship from
foreign press telegrams. The regulations,
however, will not go Into effect until the
revision of the press laws Is complete.
The special commission of the Academy
of Science, which has been considering the
subject, has pronounced In favor of the
abrogation of the restrictions placed upoiv
the use of the Little Russian language In
schools, books and the press.
Hundred Bulgarians Killed..

killed, instead of thirty, as stated In earlier
dispatches. The Grees afterward executed
thirty prisoners on the spot where the
Greek leader Mclas was killed last October.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.. April 13.-In
the eightieth year of Its career and the
anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jeffer
son, iti illustrious founder, the University

Jessee of the University of Missouri.
At 4 o'clock, when the assemblage had
placed itself in the public hall. Rev, D. R.
Smith of Norfolk pronounced an Invocation
on the institution in Its new aspirations
and undertakings.
The Installation ceremony was at ones ac
complished by the rector of the Institution,
Rev. Charles P. Jones of Monterey, Va.
He announced that a growing public senti
ment In favor of changing the government
of the university had caused the general
assembly of the commonwealth to impose
on the rector and governing body the duty
of electing a president. It had concluded
this duty after patient and anxious thought
by electing Dr Edwin Anderson Alderman.
The date for inaugurating the change had
been selected (April IS) because It was the
anniversary of the birth of the founder of
tho institution.
Announcement was made that John D.
Rockefeller had given $100,000 to the uni
versity "to found a school of education to
be called the Curry Memorial School of

DUNNE WORKS FOR PEACE
Mayor of Chicago Confers with Committee
of Strikers and Employers.
RIOTING IN THE STREETS RESUMED
Strike Sympathisers Form Illorkades
and Police I se C lubs Freely in
Clearing Passage Several
Arrests Made.
CHICAGO, April 13.-Mayor Edward F.
Dunne today ngnln eixleavored to effect
peace between the contending sides In the
labor troubles In Chicago, but at the end
of the day several conferences with the
labor leaders and representatives of the
employers left the situation unchanged.
Mayor Dunne tonight, however, was more
hopeful of peace as the result of his efforts
and the peace negotiations will be con
tinued tomorrow, with the hope that the
barrier now preventing a settlement Will
be removed and that the two sides to the
controversy will agree to confer together
and accept the intervention of the mayor.
The labor leaders declared today that they
were willing to meet the employers, but
that the latter declined the proposed con
ference, and Mayor Dunne was forced to
meet the opposing elements separately.
More Rioting In Streets.
While the peace negotiations were In
progress today Montgomery Ward & Co.
continued to make deliveries with non
union teamsters. The service was Inter
rupted, however, by the strikers and their
sympathizers, who blocked the streets,
making It almost ImposHible for the cara
vans, under the protection of platoons of
police, to pass through the streets. In
several instances the crowds became so
demonstrative that it was necessary for
the police to use their clubs and several
men warn hurt in their clashes with the
bluemen. Nine nonunion men were seri
ously hurt and it was necessary for the
police to make several arrests before the
crowd could be dispersed.
Employers to Form Teaming Co.
Should the efforts of Mayor Dunne to
bring about an amicable settlement of the
difficulty fail, It Is said tonight that the
employers will form a comprehensive team
ing company of their own in order to carry
on their business should the strike spread.
The new concern, it is asserted, will In
clude most of the business firms who are
threatened by a spread of Uie strike and
will be for the purpose of presenting a
solid and compact opposition to the union
teamsters should they decide to extend the
sympathetic strike. It was said tonight
that this new company wousd be in work
ing order by tomorrow night.

Address of Mr. Williams.
Mr. Williams took for his theme, "Equal
rights to all and special privileges to none." j
The speaker was accorded a warm welcome
by the banqueters. This was the first time
many of those present had ever heard the
Massachusetts orator and his words were
listened to with Interest.
Mr. Williams said In part:
I am here tonight with faith nnt ahnlcen
In the fundamental principle of democracy
that there shall be "equal rights to-all anil
special privileges to none."
Jut of the enthusiasm and eferru-ntrtes
which you have displayed in vour canvass
Lwe may look for a national uprising neces-
Biiaieu uy me same aDuses ana Inspired by
the same principles. Nor am I satisfied to
go forward upon a basis of sentiment. I
want a platform, and as soon as rnnv he
candidate. "Public ownership and direct
legislation" are words enough for the ban
ner which we shall carry hereafter. We
must give notice to the politicians of the
party that evasive platforms and elusive
candidates can no more obtain suffrages in
a democratic convention.
Mayor Dunne's Speech.
Mayor Dunne spoke on "Municipal Owner
ship."
After a lengthy discussion of this sub
ject Mayor Dunne ended his remarks by
appealing to the democratic party to In
corporate a municipal ownership plank in
the platform to be adopted at the next na
tional convention of the party.
His speech In part was as follows:
The democratic partv won In the snrlnr
election because Its platform plainly, clearly
ana irumiuiiyaeeiarea tor principles which
were ror me nest interests or tne people.
It lost last fall because Its platform was
a compromise and because the people be-
uevea mat u aeau in piautuo.es rather
than principles.
The results of these two elections should
teach the lesson to the men who stand
high In the councils of democracy that
evasion, Insincerity and retrogression
should have no place in the rjlatforms of
the democratic party. The party must tako
and hold an advanced position. It must
keep pace with the march of events. It
must declare against monopoly In any and
all forms, against special privileges In
every guise
Private corporations nave seized and
taken possession of the means of trans
portation and the conveyance of Informa
tion, llaht and power, all of them monoo-
olles, requiring the use of public property.
Ky possession or tnese monopolies they
have been despoiling and plundering the
people of this country.
The people have at Inst awakened to the
fact that monopolies are unfair, iniquitous
and dangerous to the republic.
If protective tariff De abolished and the
government takes possession of the means
of transportation, of conveyance, of freight,
express packages and information every
dangerous trust in America will die a
natural death in five years.
Other Speeches.
Thomas L. Johnson of Cleveland was
the next speaker. He also spoke on mu
nicipal ownership. He discussed the pos
sibilities of municipal ownership from a
traction expert's view.
Among others who spoke during the
evening were J. Hamilton Lewis and Clar
ence 8. Darrow.
Mr. Lewis spoke on "A Constitution to
Fit the Institutions."

PARKER SPEAKS AT NEW YORK
Former Candidate Principal Orator at
Banquet at Waldorf Astoria.
NEW YORK, April 13.-Seven hundred
democrats attended the Jefferson day ban
quet of the Democratic club of New York
at the Waldorf-Astoria tonight. There were
many there of national reputation, and
chief among these was former Judge Alton
B. Parker, democratic nominee for presi
dent last November. In the banquet room
portraits of Jefferson were conspicuous.
In addition to Mr. Parker the speakers
were United States Senator Newlands of
Nevada, Mayor McClellan of New York,
Congressman Henry T. Ralney of Illinois,
Judge Augustus VanWyck of New York,
John W. Kern of Indiana and J. J. Willet of
Alabama. Senator Carmack of Tennessee
was the only one of those expected to speak
who could not attend.
Mr. Parker was the first speaker and he
was enthusiastically received. The speech
was on the future of the democratic party
and replete with suggestions for harmony
snd urgent appeals against sectionalism.
f .1 -l.l l I unvdlft n f I h fl(t
best Informed was pronounced the greatest
pianist of his time. If not of all times,
appeared at the Boyd last evening and was
greeted very cordially and somewhat ex
pectantly by an audience that about two
thirds filled the house. The program was
a liberal one, and of variety enough to
satisfy those who really desired to acquire
some understanding, from many points of
view, of the character of the genius that
won the highest and most genuine accla
mations from the musical world. This was
his second appearance In Omaha, the
former having been several years ago.
Since that time pianists who have won
high consideration both In America and in
Europe have appeared In Omaha, and,
d mbtless, truer measures of value have
been acquired by the musical public than
those whlrh obtained when Paderewskl first
won his enviable pre-eminence as an artist
without a peer. And to this may be at
tributed the absence of enthusiasm In the
generous applause given him last evening.
The program called for the highest abil
ity and Included selections from the works
of composers to whom the world yields
unwavering allegiance. If Paderewskl
failed to arouse the old-time enthusiasm,
it was not the fault of the selections he
made for this occasion. It may have been
the weather, or the strain of his protracted
tour, extending over such great stretches
of country that affected the playing of
this once supremely capable artist, or, and
the words come with some reluctance, It
may have been the fault of the artist him
self, that the Impression was left that the
performance, - wonderful as It was In Its
occasional flashes of genius, was not of
the character generally expected. Possi
bly the program was not happily arranged,
for one's Impressions were disturbed by
apparent Incongruities of artistic effects as
the various numbers were disposed of with
some promptness and with not a little
pcrfunctoriness. Whatever may have been
the possibilities of the selections rendered,
there was unmistakable evidence of cold
ness of treatment, of hardness, of lack of
rhythm nnd of positive carelessness. But
these depressing features were in turn dis
pelled by flashes of treatment which, while
they emDhaslzer! the Inemmimea nt tVia
performances, were as charming as they
were onen unexpected.
The opening number was "Prelude and
Fugue in A minor." by Bach-Liszt. This
was followed by Beethoven's "Sonata" In
F minor, op. 67, and "Nachstuck" In F
major, op. 22, No. 4, and "Toccata," op. 7,
by Schumann. These four
the audience with mingled sensations of
Pleasure and disappointment. In every
number surprising vlrtuosltv
but In the first and second something more
wus expectea than mere excellence of exe
cution. There were touches that captured
the attention whether or no, so beautifully
and tenderly were thev lntrnrt.i a)i
this. In general, was true of the treatment
oi ine remaining numbers. Probably ex
pectations were fullv irrn ft fl tA tn v,la ......
dering of the third of Chopin's studies,
up. iu, ana in me same composer's In
imitable valse In A-flat major, op. 42. But
these came too late to entirely overcome
the depressing effect nf an-ii i
A nocturne by Paderewskl himself was
Piayea wun tenderness and was very beau
tiful nn If It ...
, ....... ,v vpry wonaerrul as
a composition. The concluding number was
iw.D,,0ule nongroise," No. 6, by Liszt, and
was played probably more satisfactorily,
as a whole, than, any one of the more pre
tentious numbers on the program.
As a whole the reappearance, of Paderew
skl was a disappointment to those who had
heard, him in days gene by, when his maglo
fingers Imparted the touch of genius to
their work and. ieft Impressions that true
music lovers woyuf rather retain unbroken
by less perfect expressions of the wonderful
skill of this master pianist.

Position of the Kmployer.
It Is explained thai under Uie "interna
tional agreement" "any question" arising
between tho parties "shall be referred to
the locai conference committee," suuject to
appeal to the ".National Board of Confer
ence and Arbitration." The question is
now In local conference. The Omaha
Typotlutae has also a contract with the
printers' union terminating October f,
1HU6. This union hus voted to reduce the
working time to eight hours a day, the
present limit being nine hours. The Na
tional Typothetae has voted to resist any
demand for shortening the hours of lahor,
and both sides are now raising funds va
riously stated at 1100,000 to 5OU,0Ou to light
out the Issue.
The Typothetae states its position as
follows:
So far as the demands of the pressmen are
concerned, they should be settled by con
tereuce and arbitration, but between the
Typothetae and the Typographical union
the aillerenco of opinion Is so great and the
issue so sharply drawn that a clash seems
inevitable, Involving all the large cities.
Should the unions succeed in gaining
their demands, the result must be a large
increase In the cost of printing In Omaha,
while a general strike means almost total
Stoppage of production.
Many competing towns have no labor
unions and no siiop practices, and work
ten hours for less wages.
To meet these conditions and keep work
at home many contracts have been taken
by Omaha employing printers at prices be
low cost of production.
The constantly increasing wage scale, de
creasing hours of labor and restrictive
shop practice are more and more burden
some, and Omaha employing printers feel

PRISONERS GOOD MEN TO HOLD
South Omaha Police Evidently Did
Good Job Wednesday
Klght.
The latest developments In the lively
struggle Captain Shields and Officer Lowry
of the South Omaha police force had with
three highwaymen Wednesday night indi
cate almost certainly that the - gang of
holdup men which has been running things
with a very bold hund, both In South
Omaha and Omaha for a considerable time
past, has reached the end of Its tether.
Detectives Drummy, Patullo, Donahue and
Heitfleld of the Omaha police captured the
man who escaped from the South Omaha
officers during their fight on Twenty-fourth
street. He was located as living with his
Wife at 8(07 Jackson street, and when ar
rested gave the name of Guy Q. Nessell.
This Is probably his right name, as It
corresponds with information secured by
the South Omaha police from the two men
they arrested Wednesday night.
What Is believed to be the true names
of the two men now under arrest In South
Oman was learned yesterday. They are
Frank Webber and L. J. Hoasman. Web
ber lives at 2710 South Nineteenth street.
When the detectives went to this room
they found a man there who gave his name
as Harry L. Castellane. While nothing has
been certainly developed showing that he
is associated with the other men under
arrest, he was taken Into custody.
Search was made in the room and a trunk
containing a great variety of valuable
goods was found and taken to the Omaha
station. The contents of the trunk, coupled
with what was loarned from Webber and
Hossman, show almost cortalnly that these
men have been doing a great deal of the
holdup and other kind of work during the
last two months. It Is believed they are
the men that robbed Darling & Sons hard
ware store, Bromer's grocery store and the
residence of Harry Dennis In South Omaha;
and also, probably, a number of other jobs
In that city.
From what the two men under arrest
In South Omaha are reported to have ad
mlttee, the same three men held up the
street car about three weeks ago at the
end of the Dodge street line, relieving the
conductor of all the company money he
had. It is probable they are the same men
who assaulted the drug clerk In the store
at Thirty-third and Parker streets about
five weeks ago. Other Information ob
tained by the police of both cities convince
them that other Jobs can be traced to these
men.
Captain Shields of the South Omaha po
lice was In Omaha last night and Identified
Nessell as the man who escaped from him
Wednesday night. Nessell refuses as yet
to talk.
Nessell and Hossman have been living In
Omaha for several years. The police be
lieve that Webber Is the worst man of the
gang, and that he Is the man who has done
most of the scheming, the other men hav
Ing been drawn Into the holdup business by
him.
A number of saws used In cutting Iron,
and useful to burglars in their work, were
found on Webber, besides chisels and othor'
tools that would be useful In effecting an
entrance Into houses.
Charges of assault with Intent to kill will
be preferred against each of the men ar
rested, and It Is probable that other charges
will follow and that the active careers of
these men will be effectually cut off for a
number of years to come.
It Is believed that further Investigation
will disclose more stolen goods, and possi
bly that all of the gang Is not yet In cus
tody. The police regard the captures as
being the most Important made for a long
time.

Mr. Rothwell pointed out the necessity of

neighbors.

ZIMMAN WILL VETO THE GIFT
Donation of More of Chicago Street
to Illinois Central Meets with
Opposition.
Acting Mayor Zlmman has announced
that he will veto the ordinance proposing
to vacate Chicago street between Eleventh
and Twelfth for railway purposes In favor
of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal com
pany. His reasons are that If the railroad
wants to use this street it must pay for It.
Whether or not this can be forced Is an
open question, but the acting mayor Is anx
ious to have a test made. The city legal
department has not yet Investigated the
subject carefully and Is not prepared to
render a positive opinion. Attorneys for
the Terminal company contend that, the
city cannot sell the street, having no right
to do so, because the title Is not conferred
In the municipality, which only holds the
streets and alleys In trust for the people.
In case the city refuses to make the vaca
tion condemnation proceedings with an
award of no damages Is threatened.
