Street car patrons were endangered more
than once today by crowd Intent on ter
rorizing strike breakers. One woman In an
Eighteenth street tar narrowly escaped an
ax thrown by a rioter. The weapon was
aimed at six nonunion teamsters returning
In a street car to barn at Eighteenth and
Dearborn streets from the white lead works
at Sixteenth and Sangamon streets. At
Rubel street a crowd of strikers was wait
ing for the negroes and started a rain of
bricks and stones. Suddenly a sharpened
ax was thrown from the crowd. It graxed a
woman's arm and, sank deep into a stan
chion. The car waa crowded and a panic
followed among tho passengers until police
dispersed the mob. '
A bitter battle took place In a narrow
alley behind the yan Buren ower house of
the Union Traction company, Clinton and
Jefferson streets, where, nonunion team
sters and coal shoyelers of six Peabody
Coal cofnpany wagons were spied by em
ployes of the Decorators' Supply company,
whose five-story building Is Just across the
alley from the power plant. The decorators'
plant men made no move until the negroes
had begun loading coal for traction use.
Then while a street mob began heaving
bricks at the negroes, nearly 100 men and
boys appeared at windows and threw bricks
and broken bottles, badly Injuring several
of the nonunion workers. The police dashed
Into the place at once and, taking In tho
situation, began shooting. The men at the
windows got out of range Instantly. Police
were stationed at the alley to prevent with
bullets a repetition oZ the attack on the
nonunlonlsts. , .
Women strike sympathizers started a riot
at Lake and Clark streets this afternoon by
bombarding a nonunion driver of a fruit
laden truck. The mob numbered 1,000 per
sons. Stones and missiles were thrown and
shots fired. The riot stopped traffic on
street car lines for nearly an hour. Many
windows were broken.. Three onslaughts of
police were necessary to disperse the mob.

GRAND ISLAND, May 9. Despite the
rain 6,000 people gathered at the Union
Pacific depot at 6:20 to see and hear Presi
dent Roosevelt. The pilot train arrived at
6:10 and promptly at the minute the presi
dential train pulled Into the station. The
president, smiling and happy, was out
upon the rear platform and lost no time
in greeting the Nebraskans who gathered
here. He had already begun to address the
throng when Miss Anna Garmlre and the
members of the high school graduating
class worked their way through tbe crowd
and presented the president with a fine
bouquet of roses and Easter lilies on
behalf of the business men of Grand Island
and the schools. He expressed his apprecia
tion especially as coming from the school
children, venturing the assurance that ha
needed not to call attention to hfs fond
ness for school children. (Laughter.) After

Crowd at .North I'latte.
With only Omir stops for speeches the
trip of the presidential special from Den
ver to this city was uneventful. The train
arrived here at 6:30 o'clock. United States
Senator Hurkett and Edward Rosewater,
publisher of The Omaha Hee, were taken
on board and were the president s guests
as far as Omaha. The speeches were all
brief and were devoted almost entirely to
a discussion of the country through which
the president passed and on tho subject of
Irrigation. The president spoke longest at
North I'lntte, where he said:
This Is the third time In recent years I
have bfen In North Tlatte, and It is a pe
culiar pleasuie to he with you onre ngmn
Tills nelgboihood Is one of tne pioneer spots
of the west In Irrigation. It was you good
fortune to lead In snowing Just what could
li done by means of Irrigation for the pio
perlty of this rountr. Nothing will count
more 'n the next half century In building
up the I'tilted States than what is dune in
irrigation. 1 am particularly gun I to see all
of you here, but especially tne children. I
neanlly be l,-e In you i.eopie, and I am gia
that the stork Is kept up. Although 1 con
gratulate Nebraska on many crops, the best
crop of all Is the crop of citizens. What
counts In any nation more than anything
In the end Is the average of the cltlsenshlp.
Here as everywhere else In the west, 1 see
men who wear the button that shows that
they fought In the gieat civil war. In tho
civil war the winning or losing of that fight
depended upon the averng"! quality of the
average soldier. We saved the nation be
cause" the average man was of the right
stamp. So It Is In civil life. The one thing
thnl we have gut ot have In the average
man and the average woman of the light
type. And you cflrtnot have that if you do
not have the children taken enre of and
trained up as they should tie. So I con
gratulate you of Nebraska upon your school
system and your family lite ns helng ih"
two things that count tor most In training
up the children of the present to be the
men and women of the future. Success for
any community, and therefore success for
the nation, means snccrss In having the
average family the kind of family that it
should be.
We need material prosperity. We must
have that as the foundation, but upon it we
must build the structure of a happy family
life In order to make the nation what It
should be. Two years ago I went from tlie
Atlantic to tne I'aeltle. I have Just been, a
little while ago. down In Texas, as I had
been previously In Maine and Oresron. Hnd
there Is one th'ng that strikes me more than
anything else in going through this won-

protected by umbrellas, fiOO people greeted
President Roosevelt tonight at the Union
Pacific depot. The pilot train passed
through at 7;40 and ten minutes later the
president's train came In sight. No stop
was made here, but owing to the fact
that the train had to pass from a single to
a double track tho train slowed down to
about twelve miles per hour. Tho presl
dent was on the rear platform and bowed
his acknowledgments to the crowd, which

STERLING, Colo., May . President
Roosevelt In his speech In Denver last
night concluded with the following com
ment on the Panama canal project:
It Is perhaps unnecessary for mo fn .
that I am perfectly aware that many most
admirable gentlemen disagreed with me in
my action toward the Panama cannl, but I
am In an unrepentent frame of mind. The
ethical conception upon which I acted was
that I did not Intend that Uncle Sara should
ne neia up. jiui wunoui regard to that
wnen .tne canal comes into operation
think It will have a very Important n-n
latory effect In connection with the trans
continental commerce of the railroads
think when such Is the case these great
railroads will have to revise their way of
looking at the Interests of certain Inland
cities.
As I say. gentlemen, don t misunderstand
me. I understand thoroughly, the argument
trom tneir standpoint. and see mat they can
in all sincerity hold the position and while
do not think that anything I can sav
could have any effect in ' making them
alter that position I have considerable
hopes for the effect upon the Panama
canal. Let me repeat. 1 have told you my
views as to what I regard to be the most
Important matter of international legisla
tion that In the immediate future will be
before the people.
I wish to say again that Important
though that legislation is It Is nothing like
as important as tne spirit in wnir-n we ap
prouch It. If we approach It In the spirit
of demagogery, if we permit ourselves, as
a people, to be deluded Into the belief that
ermanent good win come to us. as a mum,
we attack unjustly the proper Hants of
others because they are wealthy, we shall
do ourselves Just as much damage as If we
permitted an attacK upon those who are
poor because they are poor. In time past
republic after republic has existed In this
world and has gone down to destruction.
some times because the republic waa turned
Into a government or tne poor who plun

turned Into a government of the rich who
exploited the poor. It made no difference
whatever to tne tate ot tne repumic wblcn
form Its fall took. That fall was Just ss
certain In one case as In the other. It was
Just as certain to follow the election of a
class wnicn piunaereo anotner Class
whether the class thus given mastery was
the poor who plundered the rich or the
class of the rich who exploited the poor.
The destruction was as inevitable in one
instance as In the other. We have the right
to look forward witn conndent nope to tne
future of this republic because it will not

PYTI1IASS IN GRAND LODGE
Knights and Rathbone 8 liters Open Session-
at Myrtle Hall
ZIMMAN MAKES ADDRESS OF WELCOME
Grand Chancellor Klldon Advocates
Increase In Seml-Annoal Per
Capita Tax, Thirty to
Fitly Cents.
The grand lodge session of the Knights
of Tythias, domain of Nebraska, was
opened Tuesday morning, In Myrtle hall,
Continental block, with an attendance ot
about ifirt delegates from the various lodges
of the state. The Rathbone Sisters, nn
a'.ixllllnry organization, also began grand
lodge sessions In the same building, with
about thirty officers and delegates present.
Roth sessions will last about two , day.
Ollicers will oc elected Wednesday. Head
quarters are nt the Millard hotel.
Atclng Mayor Zlmman started the knights
grand lodge at 9:30, with a brief address
of welcome on behalf of the city, to which
Grand Chancellor Klldow responded. After
that the meeting closed the doors to out
siders and proceeded to confer the grand
lodge degree jupon sixty members enstitut-
Ing the largest class of the kind In the
history of the domain. Reports from vari
ous officers were rend and referred to com
mittees, together with recommendations
from Grand Chancellor Klldow, concerning
legislation. He urges raising the semi
annual per capita tax from 30 cents to W
cents; a law IrcreaBing the minimum mem
bership fee from 110 to 130, and com
pensation for the grand chancellor at $1,500
year Instead of $6u0.
Address of Klkaow.
His Ideas In these respects were com
municated to the grand lodge In the fol
lowing manner:
I propose that the semi-annual per capita
tax be raised to to cents. The grand lodge
does not have nearly money enough with
which to wo its Duainess. The other two
fraternal orders like ours In this domain
have about three times as much each as
we have. It is absolutely Impossible to get
along on our present per capita tax ot 30
cents. This ot course will be unpopular, 1
presume, with the lodges, because it affects
the exchequer. Hut nevertheless, if you want
to see the oner to tnrive in tins state, in
struct your representative to vote to have
tlie semi-annual per capita tax raised to
60 cents.
I propose to recommend a law making
the minimum fee for membership in our
domain ). I have Issued you two circu
lars on this subject before, during my
Incumbency, and do not need to argue It
further now. The lodges tnat nave tne
most money are the ones that are getting
along best. There la a business side to
running a lodge, as well as u sentimental
side, and It takes money to pay hall rent
and other expenses. A membership fee ol
$15 does not furnish sufficient funds for a
lodge to meet Its necessary expenses and
have anything left with which to meet the
requirements of the order as they present
themselves from time to time.
The grand chancellor should receive a
compensation of l,6m per annum, togther
tL'ltli lil neenssarv traveling expenses.
Now, 1 expect to see your hands go up. 1
will admit that you- can get grand chan
cellors, and perhups Just as good ones, at
the present salary ot J6U0, as you can get
at any other salary. I think you could got
Just as many and Just as good ones If you
old not pay them anything, but that does
not make It right.
Pythiaus are supposed to do right and
what Is fair between man and man. It
takes all of one's time, and a man with any
ability whatever cannot afford to give his
time to the order for $5uu per year. ou
say that he does not have to dy so, and 1
will agree with you, but some one must
do it or else we will have no order; and
when we take into consideration the fact
that to have an order we must huve a
grand chancellor, then the matter of
whether we nre doing right In asking him
to accept $600 as a sufficient compensation
is a question to be determined. 1 leave it
to you, believing that you will see tho
Justice of this.
Now you will say that I am going to
bankrupt the orocr by high salar es and a
high per capita tux, but my thought Is that
it will only make it better. 1 bedeve that
the good that we will be able to do with
the incisased money we will have to spend
will tar mure than compensate us for the
additional expense that it would be to the
subordinate lodges. Besides, In a tew years
this could oe materially rum;t:u.
only 7.1X10 members in round numbers and
It cot'ts Just as much to maintain a grand
domain with that number of members as
it would with two or three times as many.
If we could get 10,000 or li.uou membeis,
hi..h ul-ouM not take long if we had tho
means to push the work, the per capita
could be reduced.
In addition to this we will be called upon
to vote upon two proposed amendments
to the supreme constitution. One of them
Is to reduce the age limit to 18 years and
v.. la to allow each grand domain to
fix the minimum fee for membership. The
first of these 1 do not care to discuss. You
are in as good a position to Judge of tne
effects of this as i am. i mum nu pi "c
. . i ., .. feorm n.-niiid come from it. nor do
think any good could be derived from such
The second proposition Is, In my Judg
ment positively vicious. It would kill our
order. The minimum fee now is only $l.
and tbe only result that could attain would
be to lower It to less than that amount.
In the dlscuswlon of this In the supreme
lodge session, at which It was decided to
submit It. the plain statement was made
by some of its advocates that they would
make the fee "$1 If thoy could do s i." Ye
gods! Think of a lodge that would sell a
man a pa.port to the confidence of nearly
em.COO knights for "one who e dollar!' How
would you like to belong to It? Some may
argue that the fee charged has nothing to
do with tho "quality" of the membership!
same, to accompnny the application would
take In any man who could raise the do),
laf. We are not a dollar order In Nebraska,
and let us not dlcnify this proposition with
a single affirmative vote.
I ran assure you that the year has bean
a prosperous one for Pythlanlsm snd tht
the report In July will show a material
gain over the report of one year ago. ;
