Meanwhile the able bodied survivors In
Pnyder were working heroically all through
the night amid the mORt heart-rending
scenes. A building was utilized for a tem
porary hospital and another used as a
morgue. The latter, a dry goods building,
presented a gruesome appearance when day
dawned with the corpses lying tier upon
tier upon the shelves. The search for bodies
continued during the day and at 6 o'clock
eighty had b"en recovered. Others are
being searched for, which, with the casual
ties reported from the country, will prob
ably raise the death llHt to 100. Several of
the Injured will be added to the list of fa
talities. The most pressing need Is financial.
An organisation was perfected among the
citizens today and appeals sent out to
leading cities of the territories asking for
Immediate assistance. In addition to the
seriously injured, who are being cared for
at the hospital, many sustained lesser In
juries and are Incapacitated for the work
of caring for those who are in need of
ansiatance.

Tidal Wave on Lake.
CHICAGO, May 11. Reports of a remark
able tital wave along the west shore of
Lhke Michigan were received today. Tha
wave seemed to be the highest at Kenosha'
and Racine. Wla., where a wall of water
swept in, causing nuil h damage and alarm
along the docks. At Chicago the waves
simply raited the stage of water and
caused a very heavy current down the
drainage canal. Boats navigated the river
with the greatest difficult, as a result of tli.
high current.
Weather conditions in Chicago this after
noon were such that a recurrence of the
tidal wave along the west store was anti
cipated. During the last twelve hours
the force of the wind haa been almost un
precedented. Within a few hour the fir
department answered eighty calls to pump
out basements In various parts of the city.
The wave Is attributed to difference In
barometlo pressure at different points pro.
ducing a wave or "seiche." The pressure
being relieved at one point, the water rlsts
there under the heavy pressure on the sur
face, some distance away.
Severe thunderstorms are expeoted to
continue on the upper lakes. The weather
map today closely resembled that of May
26, 1S86, when the destructive tornado at
St. Louis and other western points did so
much damage.

AT MERCY OF THE PACKERS
Buch ii Statement Made by One Nebraska
Lire Stock Raiser.
DENIES COMBINE EXISTS BETWEEN THEM
Federal (irsnd Jorr InTestlaatloa
Into Reef Trust Problem la
Fortlfled by Secrecy and
Wit aessrs Are Silent.
These witnesses have thus far been ex
amined before the federal grand Jury to
tell what they know In regard to the ex
istence of a "Beef trust:" A. 8. Park
hurst, W. D. Barnum, J. M. Smith, G. C.
Bnej.herd. John Rapp. Julius Huhlcr, C. I.
Ferrall, L. C. Smith. W. If. Dudley, Walter
Woods, J. H. Osborn, a butcher of Sioux
City; C. C. Clifton. II. T. Tallmage and Al
bert Noe of South Omaha, all of the latter
being commission men. These witnesses
adhered to the usual rule. of reticence upon
their dismissal from the grand Jury room,
looked wise and would say nothing relative
to the nature of the inquisition.
The first witnesses examined Thursday
morning were J. M. Smith and L. C. Smilli
of Mills, Neb. they are stockmen of that
section and It was. sought to loam from
them If there was any combination between
the packer and stockmen relative to prices.
Other stockmen also were included with
these, and cne or two or them were In
terrogated as to whether a friendly feel
ing existed between them and the packers
nd commission men.
"I was rather surprised," said one of th.j
witnesses, "that such a question should
have been asked, for the simple reason that
we have no other alternative than to bu
friendly with the commission men. Wo
do not come in contact with the regular
buyers of the packing houses, as all, of
our business is done through the com
mission houses. We are of course friendly
to the commission men, and rcallzo that
they can only sell our stock for Just bucIi
prices as tho packers choose to give. So
far as there being any combination be
tween tho packers and shippers it is all
nonsense. We are simply at the mercy of
the packers. They fix the prices and we
have got to accept Just what they offer
whether we like It or not. My experience
is that the commission men have been as
fair with us as they could be. I cannot
understand just why we shippers should
be called Into the Inquiry.
Must Sell ItcHHrdleaa of Price.
"We have got to sell our cattle when
they are ready for ths market, without re
gard to what prices may be. Of course,
we always hope to strike a rising market,
but more frequently hit a falling one, and
the longer we hold our cattle in the stock
yards the greater Is the expense we are
put to, and the packers manage to see
that we do not gain anything by holding
our stock for an advance."
The commission men are not disposed to
talk regarding their' testimony before the
Jury, and, In fact, all witnesses are strictly
enjoined to say nothing of their testimony
given in the Jury room. Some of them will
talk a little before going into the Jury room,
but after that they are as mum as an
oyster.
C. P. Ferrall, editor of the Omaha Trade
Exhibit, was questioned regarding the con
ditions prevailing two or three years ago
while he was employed as a shipping clerk
at the Cudahy establishment.
Some of the witnesses are discharged
outright after their first visit to the Jury
room, but others are held under subpoena
to glvo further testimony.
As ah indication of the wide scope that
the Investigation Is taking, Julius Huler,
a butcher at North 5Jytte, was before the
grand Jury Wednesday evening to testify
regarding the relations between the pack
ing houses and the retail dealers and to
explain the cause if possible why a fall
ing live stock market does not have any
perceptible effect on the retail meat
markets.
Retail Dealers on Rack.
The probe also Is being applied to the re-J
tall meat dealers to ascertain the extent of
the exactions demanded of them at the be
hest of the packers. The retail meat deal
ers, with whom the public comes In direct
contact, are not so averse to throwing
some light upon the methods of the pack
ers to comDel them, the retailers, to hold
up the retail prices of dressed beef, re
gardless of the fluctuating prices of beef
on the hoof, both prices of which are arbi
trarily fixed by the packers.
One retailer of meats sulci:
"To publish my name would be to drive
nie out of business. Yet 1 can say this: The
public does not realize the actual situation
of affairs. We come In direct contact with
the public and must take all the odium con
nected with the low price of live stock and
the high cost of dressed meats, particularly
beef. In the old days when we could buy
our own live stock and butcher It In our
own slaughter houses we could regulate our
prices to correspond with the relative cost
of the beef on the hoof and the dressed
product. Now not one retailer in a thou
sand thinks of killing his own beef, because
of his inability to get lirst-class stock. It
all goes to the packers and we have to buy
our dressed meats of the packers, or they
will put one of their own retail establish
ments alongside of the Independent retailer
and ruin him. The margin of profit is so
Infinitely small from tho meat we pur
chase from the packers that we cannot sell
it possibly for less than wo do. We are
simply at their mercy. We have got to
pay their prices for dressed meats and sell
them to consumers for the prices dictated
by the packing houses or go out of busi
ness.

was unable to get work and also that hn
had Information of the whereabouts of
some books that were said to be stolen from
the Cudahy offices In Sioux City. I had a
typewritten copy made of McElroy's state
ment and sent it to the United States dis
trict attorney In Chicago. Ho replied that
the scope of the Investigation now In prog
ress did not Include Inquiry Into charges
of blacklisting, hut that this may be taken
UP later on, when the testimony of McElroy
may be called for. This was all that I
could do. As to the story nbnut the books
In Sioux City, I sent a typewritten copy of
McElroy's statement to Chicago and what
action will be taken on It I do not know,
as that fhid Is outside of my Jurisdiction.
If they want him to testify they will send
for him. I could d." no more than has been
done. McElroy told me about his difficul
ties In getting work and out of sympathy
for him I said I knew Mr. Krelder, who Is
In the packing business In Oklahoma City.
and would slve him a letter to Mr. Krelder
If he wanted It. He said he had no money
to pay his fnre and I told him he would
have to earn the money in some way. He
admitted to me that he had not applied for
work at the Independent packing houses."
McElroy pretends that the packers here
and at Sioux City have blacklisted him.
Superintendent John O'Hern of the Ar
mour company gave The Bee a written
statement to this effect:
"Yes, McElroy applied to us for work and
I told him we did not need him. He nsked
tho reason and I told him our old men had
preference over any other and. further
more, that I had word that ho had molested
some of our men who worked with us dur
ing the strike. He mentioned that Super
intendent Sheehy of Cudnhy's had It In for
him and I told him that Sheehy was not
dictating who we hired at this house."
E1HT TRt'K BILLS ARK RRTl'RSKD
Indictments Suhmlttrd by Grand Jury
In Other Cases.
The federal grand jury submitted a report
Thursdny evening, returning eight true
bills. Among them was an Indictment
against Eddie Penn, charged with uslns
the malls in a scheme to procure counter
feit money. Another was against Charles
Cartwright, charged with obtaining a letter
containing an article of value, addressed
to Victor Enbon, and appropriating the
article, a check for $25, getting tho same
cashed and squandering the proceeds in his
own enjoyment.
One of the more Important Indictments
was the Joint indictment against John
Krnuse and Herman H. Krause of Sheridan
county, charging them with Illegally fen
cing some 4,200 acres of public lands. There
are ten counts in the Indictment against
the Krauses. These parties were Indicted
for a similar offense in 1R03, though their
case never came to trial. This new In
dictment Is simply to correct an error In
the former one.
Maurice Bnss, under Indictment for using
the United States mails for purpose to de
fraud, was taken from the Douglas county
Jail Thursday afternoon to the home of his
father, in the Manderson block, corner
Fourteenth and Capitol avenue, as it was
stated that his father was critically ill.
Bass was taken from the Jail by Deputy
Marshals Allan and Moore and permitted to
visit his sick father for a short while under
guard of the officers, and then returned to
the Jail. The meeting between the elder
Bass and his son was effusive and af
fectionate, It being the first time the fnther
had seen Maurice Bass since his return
from Cincinnati, where he was arrested and
bound over to the federal grand Jury, for
crimes alleged to have been committed here
In Omaha.
STUDENTS SHOW GOOD WORK
High School Scholars Hold Annual Poster
Exhibit and Do Well.
CONTEST BETWEEN REDS AND WHITES
Auction Sale Brlna Fair Prices
Gradlnars will nt Re !!
rinsed I'ntll the Finish
Today.
The annual poster contest between equally i
divided sections of the senior class st the
High school developed superior workman
ship and a larger number f black and
white drawings, oils, water colors, crayons
and pastels than ever before. There were
K7 drawings In all, of which the Reds
handed In 124 and the Whites inj. All were
auctioned at fair prices In the mnin hall
yesterday afternoon after being on exhibi
tion during the morning. Had the exhibi
tion been advertised and opeil to the pub
lic no doubt exists that higher prices would
have been obtained as many pieces were
worth four and five times what was paid.
No limit was put on mediums and even
burnt wood offerings were on the walls.
The poster contest Is only part of the
annual senior contest nnd count I'4 points
out of a possible total of 19. The Judges
of the drawings were Donne Towell. Milton
Darling and George Barker. Originality,
execution nnd number of pieces counted
equally for the general decision, with no
Individual mentions.
The finding of the judges will not be an
nounced until the close of the contest to
night, which this year Is between the Reds
and th Whites, these being the class col
ors Any old poster so It was an original
went In the contest, the limitations ex
tending to copies and the work of persons
outside the school. Proceeding on the Inst
named concession the Whites got several
handsome posters from Marlon Reed of
Chicago and Miss Evans of New York, who
formerly taught drawing In the high
school.
AVenk In Orlalnnl Work.
The exhibition was weak In original work,
far too many pictures being copies. In ex
ecution the standard was well maintained,
and It was demonstrated that the talent In
the high school Ic capable of giving a meri
torious original exhibition for prizes. The
peculiar conditions of the senior contest do
not bring out the care nnd Vffort that a
straight art exhibition would.
Proceeds of the auction, which amounted
to over $inn, will go tornrd the fund that
the senior class will spend to leave a me
morial In the school. The auctioneers were
Lyman Rryon. Carroll Belden. Ware Hall
and Miles Standlsh. Each stood on n table
in front of the winged Victory, surrounded
by a noisy throng of high school students
who appreciated the humor the sellers got
out of tho performance.
Homer Connnt's Christy girl In pastel
brought npplnuse nnd cheers when It was
placed on the block and a price something
over $5. Miss Alice McGavock's pnslels of
women's beads were much admired and
brought good prices. Mr. Conant was the
most prolific contributor and had dozens
of posters In the collection of the Reds
On his side Edith Baldwin, Hazel Crow,
Julia Nagl and Rhoda Breakey hnd many
offerings, many of them worthy of praise.
The Whites had the high school cartoonist
Otto Nllsson, among their number, nnd he
handed In a lot of funny caricatures, nil
witty and pointed. A. P. Ellsworth and
Laura Hunsiker had perhaps the best pen
and Ink drawings of the whole collection
Margaret Prince gave a collection of In
dians In oils, all being originals. Others
with the Whites were Alice McOavook,
Alice Huston, C. E. Chase, N. M. Hunt and
L. Bernice Carson.
One of tho most striking posters was a
pen and Ink cartoon by L. Beselin showing
a dancing skeleton exhibiting an alleged
copy of The Bee which contained a full
front page account of the downfall of the
rival contestants.

Precipitation of .Nearly Half Inch
Ilea t a Down uu Omaha.
A violent rain and hail storm visited this
section about midnight Wednesday. The
storm came from the northwest, but at
time acted as If It might have come from
any old direction. The hall stones were of
various dimensions, running from the con
ventional pea else to that of a small po
tato In different localities. .
The storm came In streaks through the
city and was mora violent In some quar
ter! than others. The northern part of the
city seemed to get the worst of It. The
greenhouses of Hess & Swoboda and of
A. Oonaghue at Fort and Twenty-fourth
were badly riddled by the hall, while those
of Peterson Bros, on South Fifteenth street
escaped damage, as did the Henderson
greenhouses at South Omaha.
Some truck gardens In the northern and
western parts of the city were ruined In
many cases, while others nearby escaped
serious Injury.
The storm waa particularly heavy in the
borth central part of town, north of Cum
ing street and west of Twenty-sixth street,
where shrubbery and gardens were badly
Used up.
. According to the observations at the
weather bureau, the precipitation during
the night and up to 7 a. m. was forty-fou.-hundredths
'of an inch. The maximum
wind was thirty-two miles per hour
